Feng Ning trembled and dared not move.
Just now, he saw the emperor walk into the small kitchen of Kunning Palace with his own eyes. Not long after, the chief steward Feng An brought out a bowl of longevity noodles. This bowl of noodles was obviously made by the emperor himself.
If Bai Fu was allowed to eat it, even though he was loved by the Queen, he was just a dog after all. How could he enjoy the longevity noodles made by the Emperor himself?
However, he dared not disobey the Queen's order.
If he really obeyed the queen's order, he would have to endure the emperor's wrath. Of course, the emperor would not blame the queen or embarrass a dog, and the only unlucky one would be him, a servant.
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
Xie Yaoqing frowned and glared at Feng Ning unhappily.
Feng Ning said politely: "Your Majesty, Bai Fu has already eaten a lot today, it is really not suitable for him to eat more."
Xie Yaoqing snorted softly.
The light in Xiao Chengxu's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were scarlet. He stared at Xie Yaoqing with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Why do you have to trample on my feelings for you like this?"
Xie Yaoqing turned her head and glanced at him. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of mocking smile appeared on her beautiful face. She said in a cold tone: "Your Majesty's words are really difficult for me to understand. Since Your Majesty has said that the longevity noodles belong to me, then of course I can do whatever I want with them. I think it is more appropriate to feed the longevity noodles to the dogs, but Your Majesty mistakenly thought that I was trampling on your intentions. Well, it seems that Your Majesty does not really want to celebrate my birthday. I am not blessed to enjoy Your Majesty's longevity noodles."
Anyone with a little bit of common sense could tell that Xie Yaoqing was just making a fuss, or even turning the tables. However, she was justified and had no guilt at all.
Xiao Chengxu opened his mouth hesitantly, trying to explain: "No..." But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xie Yaoqing.
Xie Yaoqing didn't have the patience to listen any further. She showed her impatience without disguising it, and simply turned away and went to her bedroom without even giving Xiao Chengxu a spare glance, let alone mentioning the lonely bowl of longevity noodles.
Xiao Chengxu hurriedly stood up, chased after her, grabbed Xie Yaoqing's hand, and said in an anxious but flattering tone: "Qingqing, if you want to feed Bai Fu, that's fine. I don't mean to blame you."
Xie Yaoqing sneered, disdain flashed in her eyes, and she shook off Xiao Chengxu's hand with force, saying coldly: "That's enough, Your Majesty, there is no need to pretend. I don't want Bai Fu to become a cold corpse for no reason."
Xiao Chengxu was willing, but Xie Yaoqing was not willing to let her beloved dog eat such a disgusting thing. Bai Fu had been with her for such a long time, and they had developed feelings for each other.
Xie Yaoqing was 90% sure that with Xiao Chengxu's temper, if Bai Fu really ate the longevity noodles, Xiao Chengxu would kill him sooner or later. Otherwise, this would become a thorn in his heart that could never be removed.
Xie Yaoqing also expected that Xiao Chengxu would most likely get angry, so she simply gave up and let Xiao Chengxu hold his precious bowl of longevity noodles and go wherever he wanted.
Seeing Xie Yaoqing's tough attitude, Xiao Chengxu pursed his lips, secretly regretting why he couldn't control his emotions at that time.
Even if you feed the dog, that dog is yours and it's your pet. Isn't it more valuable than a bowl of longevity noodles?
But I was so upset that I couldn't help but say something without thinking.
Xiao Chengxu took out a small and exquisite dagger from his bosom and handed it to Xie Yaoqing. With a faint smile on his handsome face, he said softly, "This is a precious sword presented by Persia. Keep it. If you don't like me one day, just stab me with the knife to vent your anger."
The short scabbard of the dagger is dotted with gems of various colors, sparkling with charming light, making it look particularly luxurious and exquisite.
When Xie Yaoqing saw it for the first time, he was deeply attracted to it and his eyes never left the dagger.
Generally speaking, most girls like rouge, powder, beautiful jewelry and other items, but Xie Yaoqing is different. She prefers weapons such as swords and is particularly keen on collecting various daggers.
The dagger that Xiao Chengxu gave her was exactly what she wanted and touched her heart.
After all, they have been married for twelve years, so Xiao Chengxu knows Xie Yaoqing's preferences very well and knows what kind of birthday gift will please her.
However, after hearing Xiao Chengxu's words, Xie Yaoqing felt that it sounded strange and a weird expression appeared on his face.
She thought to herself: Do I always stab people with my knife? What kind of weird and bloody hobby is this? She doesn't have such a hobby that is different from ordinary people. People who don't know her might mistake her for a vicious murderer who stabs people for fun and to kill time.
Xie Yaoqing picked up the dagger and slowly pulled it out of the scabbard.
I saw the blade flashing with a faint white light, and it was obviously an extremely sharp and good knife.
If used to injure or kill people, stabbing into the body would undoubtedly be a desirable weapon.
Xie Yaoqing narrowed her eyes slightly and her gaze fell on Xiao Chengxu's defenseless neck.
At this moment, the distance between the two people was very close. If Xie Yaoqing wanted to attack, it would definitely be a fatal blow.
As if he had sensed what Xie Yaoqing was thinking, Xiao Chengxu was not angry at all. Instead, he chuckled and said in a calm and gentle tone, "Qingqing, today is your birthday. It's not appropriate to shed blood. Why don't you save it for tomorrow and give me a few more cuts?"
These words sounded like a calm discussion with Xie Yaoqing, but the implication behind them was horrifying.
Feng An and Feng Ning, who were not far away, looked at each other. Their faces turned as pale as paper, and their eyes were full of fear.
They just felt dizzy and their heads were buzzing.
Crazy, really crazy!
Both the Emperor and the Empress had fallen into madness.
Moreover, it seems that the emperor is even crazier. If these seemingly trivial words were to spread, they would surely cause a huge storm.
Xie Yaoqing held the dagger in his hand, playing with it nonchalantly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, like a blooming poppy, beautiful and dangerous.
"Your Majesty is right. The dagger is good. I will accept it first."
Xie Yaoqing looked at the dagger in front of him. It was carved with delicate patterns and had a sharp blade. It was obviously a top-quality dagger.
It would have been fine if Xie Yaoqing hadn't seen such a good dagger, but if he saw it but didn't get it, he would always be thinking about it.
For the sake of this dagger, Xie Yaoqing could even tolerate the fact that it was given by Xiao Chengxu. After all, she really liked this dagger so much that she could temporarily put aside her prejudice and grudge against Xiao Chengxu.
The birthday gift was sent out, and Xiao Chengxu had no more excuses to keep Xie Yaoqing, so he could only watch her leave silently. It was not until Xie Yaoqing entered the bedroom that he slowly turned around and told Feng'an to bring the longevity noodles with him expressionlessly.
In the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Chengxu sat alone at the table with a bowl of cold and clumping longevity noodles in front of him. He picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly. Every bite was filled with bitterness and helplessness, as if what he was eating was not longevity noodles but coptis root.
With tears in his eyes, Xiao Chengxu deceived himself by thinking that he had finished eating the longevity noodles for Qingqing without missing a single bite, and that Qingqing would surely live a long and peaceful life.
