"Your Highness, you have misunderstood His Majesty," Eunuch Li followed behind Xiao Heng and apologized with a smile, "You were sleeping soundly when His Majesty came in."
"Hmph!" Su Minglang glared at him coquettishly. Seeing that Xiao Heng didn't seem to blame her, she turned around and accused Ye'er, "Useless thing! Why didn't you wake me up when His Majesty came in? I had to be so rude in front of His Majesty!"
"I know I was wrong!" Ye'er quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake, not daring to say another word.
"Alright!" Xiao Heng pinched Su Minglang's cheek. "You were half asleep and yet you blamed the servants. You are such an unreasonable little raccoon."
"Your Majesty!" Su Minglang refused and turned around with a pout, but her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
Before she could hide her embarrassment, Xiao Heng smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Li Peidong, serve the meal."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Li responded, turned around and smiled, inviting Ye'er to go down.
"Would you like some snacks first?" Xiao Heng picked up the pastries on the table and fed them to Su Minglang's mouth.
"I'm waiting for dinner!" Su Minglang refused, but she opened her mouth obediently, took a bite, and licked her lips contentedly.
Seeing the delicate look of his little girl, Xiao Heng felt a warm current flowing through him, making his whole body warm.
"glutton."
"No, I didn't! I haven't eaten anything all day."
"Hmm?" Xiao Heng frowned, "But the servants are not serving you wholeheartedly?"
"No," Su Minglang said nonchalantly, holding the cake in one hand, "I went to the Concubine Shu's place today and missed the lunch time, so it's useless."
"Shufei?" When Xiao Heng heard Su Minglang mention Gu Shufei, he remembered the purpose of this trip and simply continued talking along with her words.
"What are you doing at Concubine Shu's place?"
"Oh!" Su Minglang said angrily, "It's you, Your Majesty!"
"You assigned the business of the blessing ceremony to me. I have been trembling with fear these past few days."
"Everyone knows that in previous years, it was Concubine Shu who assisted the Queen in handling such important events. You took her livelihood away from me a few days ago. I don't know what Concubine Shu thinks of me."
"Oh, you little raccoon are you afraid of Concubine Shu?" Xiao Heng reached out and tapped her forehead. "Who was it that was so rude to Concubine Shu some time ago? Huh? Concubine Shu has a big complaint with me!"
Of course, it was impossible for Concubine Shu to go to him to complain, but this did not prevent him from using Concubine Shu's mouth to criticize Su Minglang.
"You were so rude back then, why are you so cautious after just a few days?"
"I am doing this for your majesty!" Su Minglang acted aggrieved and her eyes turned red.
"I'm in a hurry to confess my crime because I'm afraid that the queen will have a grudge against me. You're already busy with court affairs, and I don't want you to worry about this kind of thing when you return to the harem."
"What's more," Su Minglang was silent for a moment, looking even more aggrieved, "What's more, the Queen's health is not good, and I can't bother her too much, but I know nothing about these things, and in the end I can only go to the Concubine Shu for help."
"Praying for blessings is a big deal. You entrusted this big thing to me, and I don't want to disappoint Your Majesty."
"Good Langlang," Xiao Heng said Su Minglang's nickname, his passionate eyes met hers lovingly, "I am so lucky to have you."
"His Majesty……"
"Cough cough!"
Li Peidong made a noise at an inopportune moment and was immediately glared at by Xiao Heng.
Eunuch Li apologized to the two with a smile, "Your Majesty, Zhaoyi, please forgive me. Dinner is ready. Would you like to bring it up now?"
"Old thing!" Xiao Heng cursed softly and was about to scold him angrily, but Su Minglang put a small hand on his chest to calm him down.
"I am very hungry, Your Majesty, shall we have a meal?"
"Pass it on!" Xiao Heng's interest was interrupted and he was in a bad mood. But when he saw Su Minglang's eyes, he couldn't vent his anger anymore. "Hurry up, stop dawdling."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li did not dare to wait any longer and hurriedly arranged for the palace maids to serve the dishes.
Su Minglang picked up a piece of fish and passed it to Xiao Heng's mouth: "Your Majesty, please try this. This is made by the chef I brought from my mother's home. I love this vinegar fish the most."
"Okay," Xiao Heng was about to speak when he heard Eunuch Li's anxious voice.
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Li frowned and lowered his voice and said, "This dish was made by the kitchen in Zhaoyi Palace. No one has tried it yet. You..."
"That's enough!" Xiao Heng waved his hands impatiently, "This is my palace, who dares to poison me?"
"But……"
Before Li Peidong could finish his words, he saw Xiao Heng swallowing the fish meat with Su Minglang's chopsticks.
"Look, do I look like I've been poisoned?"
"Old slave..."
"Your Majesty," Su Minglang saw Xiao Heng becoming increasingly impatient, and quickly comforted him: Eunuch Li is doing this for your own good, don't be angry, we won't care about him!"
"That's right!" Xiao Heng waved his hand and dismissed the maids standing by: "Get out, you have ruined my fun, I will hold you accountable!"
"And you, Li Peidong, get out!"
Li Peidong breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the woman beside Xiao Heng without making a sound. Su Minglang slowly raised his head and met Eunuch Li's grateful expression, and smiled at him with the corners of his mouth curved.
Li Peidong turned and walked out of the hall. Bursts of laughter came from the room. The dinner took two hours.
"Your Majesty, will you stay here with me tonight?"
"What, you don't want to?" Xiao Heng frowned slightly when he heard Su Minglang's tone.
"Of course not. It is my blessing that Your Majesty is willing to stay overnight, but..."
Su Minglang acted as if he was in trouble and looked out the window from time to time.
"What is it?" Xiao Heng followed her gaze and looked out the window. There was nothing but the pitch-black night scene.
"It's just, it's just..."
Su Minglang was even more embarrassed. He hesitated for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
It was not until Xiao Heng looked at her with increasing impatience and suspicion that Su Minglang timidly spoke up, "I was just thinking that you might want to go and see Concubine Shu today."
"Hmm?" Xiao Heng was a little bit unbelievable, "Is it not good for me to come to your place? You actually want to send me to someone else's room."
"How could that be!" Su Minglang hastily denied, "I can't wait to accompany Your Majesty every day."
"It's just that the Concubine Shu has been unhappy these past few days. Maybe you should go and comfort her?"
"If it were someone else, it would be fine. Your Majesty's father is still the Prime Minister after all. I am afraid that you will have a rift with the Prime Minister because of such a small matter."
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Xiao Heng said, and quickly picked up Su Minglang. "I'll go see her tomorrow."
"Now don't mention anyone else, just look at me!"
