Xiao Chengxu stared straight at Xie Yaoqing with a dull expression on his face, making it difficult to tell whether he was angry or not. However, a hint of grievance seemed to be faintly revealed in his ink-black pupils.

When Xie Yaoqing realized this, he couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body and thought he must be dazzled.

Wronged?

Xiao Chengxu actually felt aggrieved?

What is there for him to feel wronged about?

She was happily listening to music and watching dance in Kunning Palace, which had nothing to do with Xiao Chengxu. How could it be his turn to feel aggrieved?

Xie Yaoqing couldn't understand.

Because the one who should feel aggrieved is obviously you.

My good mood was completely ruined by this uninvited guy. Before I felt wronged, the person who started it all felt wronged first.

What kind of truth is this?

Isn't this just the evildoers filing complaints first?

Why didn't I realize that Xiao Chengxu was this kind of person before? Besides being arrogant, full of schemes and tricks, and rarely telling the truth, he was also quite good at pretending.

Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart, thinking that his vision of people was really not very good.

But she couldn't blame herself for this. After all, Xiao Chengxu was not the husband she chose herself. The late emperor had granted her the marriage.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time, and Xie Yaoqing never showed any intention of giving in. In the end, it was Xiao Chengxu who gave in first.

When he met Xie Yaoqing's cold gaze, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and made her unhappy.

"In this case, let's do as the Queen says."

Hearing this, Xie Yaoqing just curled his lips slightly and did not feel very happy.

After all, I still listened to Xiao Chengxu. If he told me to go, I would go. If he told me to stay, I would stay.

However, she thought about it again. Xiao Chengxu was the emperor, holding the most respected power in the world, and no one could challenge him. It was natural for those singers and dancers to obey his orders. Even if she had a little power, it was because Xiao Chengxu gave it to her. She had the power to control the court. Otherwise, she would just be obeying orders.

Xie Yaoqing felt relieved after thinking about it.

As long as it doesn't delay her from continuing to enjoy herself.

So the singers and dancers continued to perform their respective duties, the singers sang and the dancers danced.

Xie Yaoqing sat there leisurely, savoring the exquisite tea and snacks while enjoying the wonderful singing and dancing performances in front of her, completely forgetting the existence of a man named Xiao Chengxu beside her.

Xiao Chengxu tried several times to break the silence and find something to talk to Xie Yaoqing about, but was ignored by the other party every time.

Xiao Chengxu had already anticipated such obvious indifference. He knew that he probably wouldn't get a smile or a word of concern, but he still held on to that little fantasy.

It's just a fantasy, a daydream, it can't be taken seriously.

Despite this, Xiao Chengxu still had no intention of leaving. He shamelessly stayed in Kunning Palace and even had a free lunch.

Xie Yaoqing kept his word. After he specially ordered the palace servants to replace the spicy dishes on the table that day, several spicy dishes were placed on the table for every meal, and these dishes were always placed closest to Xiao Chengxu. Even if there were a few dishes with lighter tastes occasionally, they were also placed farthest away. For Xiao Chengxu, if he really wanted to eat those lighter dishes, it would not be difficult, but it would inevitably be inappropriate and damage his image. After all, the palace education he received since childhood was deeply imprinted in his heart, making it impossible for him to stand up to reach for the dishes far away.

Xie Yaoqing initially thought it was quite interesting to see Xiao Chengxu's embarrassment while eating, but after watching it a few more times, she found it boring.

"Is your Majesty interested in this?" Xie Yaoqing asked coldly.

Hearing this, Xiao Chengxu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile on his face, "You'll get used to it slowly. In the future, I will accompany you to taste all the delicacies in the world."

Xie Yaoqing attached great importance to the satisfaction of food. She had indeed said in person that she had tried all the delicacies in the world. Xiao Chengxu had heard her mention it more than once, so he had an impression of it.

Hearing this, Xie Yaoqing was stunned, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Eat all the delicacies in the world? It turns out that she once had such a beautiful and simple dream, which she almost forgot herself.

No one knew when it started, but she was either suspicious about which concubine Xiao Chengxu had talked to today and whether he had taken a fancy to her, or warning the concubines who were trying to compete for her favor. She was so worried and exhausted all day long that she would tremble like a frightened bird at the slightest sign of trouble.

Looking at the young girls, each more beautiful than the other, with slender waists, fair faces, fair skin and looks like flowers, beautiful people and things are always pleasing to the eye, making people unable to help but appreciate and possess them. Xiao Chengxu can ignore the concubines in the harem for one day, but who can predict what will happen in the future? One day, someone might appear who can make him bewildered and lose his mind.

All loving relationships are impermanent and difficult to last. Life is full of fear, and life is as vulnerable as the morning dew. Because of love, there is worry; because of love, there is fear. If you are free from love, there will be no worry and no fear.

Thinking about the past, Xie Yaoqing's mood did not improve, but became even more depressed, and she couldn't stand Xiao Chengxu anymore.

It is said that a husband follows his wife, and a woman follows her husband wherever he goes. If she marries Xiao Chengxu, will she be hanged on this crooked tree for the rest of her life? Just because the marriage was granted by the late emperor, and she married the current emperor, can she not even get a divorce letter, let alone a divorce?

Since Xiao Chengxu has decided to dismiss his concubines from the palace, it shouldn't matter if she is alone. She is also a member of the harem and should be dismissed together with the others. It is said that she can get 100 taels of gold if she leaves the palace, which is a considerable amount of money.

Xie Yaoqing was distracted and when she came to her senses, she found that the dishes in her bowl were almost piled up into a small mountain, all of which were her favorite dishes.

There were only two people at the table. If the food wasn't picked up by her, then it was picked up by someone else. If it was a romantic moment, Xie Yaoqing would think Xiao Chengxu was very considerate, but now...

She just thought it was a complete waste of time.

It’s not like she doesn’t have arms, her hands are not disabled, and her eyes are not blind. Can’t she pick up any dish she wants to eat by herself?

Xie Yaoqing put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and decided not to eat anymore.

Seeing this, Xiao Chengxu pursed his lips slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"Your Majesty, can we discuss something?"

Xiao Chengxu looked up at Xie Yaoqing and said softly, "What's the matter?"

Xie Yaoqing looked directly into Xiao Chengxu's deep eyes, and a faint smile slowly blossomed on her face, "Your Majesty, please send me out of the palace as well."
