Daughter, you have to pay after eating

  It's no wonder it's an imperial family, even a simple breakfast is made extremely sumptuous.

  Only on the large round table in front of us were over a dozen different flavors of exquisite dishes, with color, fragrance and flavor all present, making one's mouth water at just a glance.

  Han Xi Tong sat down and immediately picked up her chopsticks, eating with big mouthfuls, her small mouth stuffed full, looking like someone who had just been released from prison. Her eating appearance was so shocking that even Rong Er and Xiao De Zi, who had seen Han Xi Tong eat before, were still shocked, their eyes wide with amazement.

  Although she knew her eating manners were not good at this moment, Han Xi didn't stop eating. It wasn't that she was very hungry, but after the embarrassing incident just now, she felt that she couldn't face Xiang Yanran's gaze calmly for a while.

  Because she was afraid, her eyes would be filled with resentment and accusation towards Shang Yun.

  Perhaps sensing what Han Xi Tong was thinking, Xuan Xiao Ran also didn't speak, but elegantly picked up his chopsticks to eat the delicious dishes on the table. However, a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes occasionally fell on Han Xi Tong with a hint of thought, and then quickly withdrew.

  As neither of them had spoken a word since they sat down, the whole room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of chopsticks hitting ceramic dishes making a faint crisp noise.

  The atmosphere also seemed to have become strange.

  And such a strange anger lasted for half an hour. Only to see a small eunuch hastily walking in from outside, after entering, he first bowed respectfully to Xing Xiao Ran and then reported with his head down.

  "The Seventh Prince is a thousand years old, and the Old Master has an invitation."

  "Alright."

  Upon hearing the eunuch's words, Xing Xiao Ran didn't even turn her head back, merely responding lightly. Then, she slowly put down her jade chopsticks, lifted her head to gaze at Han Xi Tong, and said gently: "Tong'er, eat slowly, I'll be right back."

  "Oh, okay." As she looked at the calm and gentle eyes of Shuang Ruo Xuan, she saw that his gaze had returned to its usual serenity, without the sorrowful stare from earlier. This made Han Xi's eyes relax, and he couldn't help but smile back at him.

  That smile was clean and easy, so sweet that it seemed like a rainbow after the rain, making Xun Xiao Ran pause for a moment before smiling back, because of the two people's gaze at this moment, they completely dispelled the awkwardness from earlier, and the two returned to their usual relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

  Until Xiang Yanran left, Han Xi had also finished eating. She put down her jade chopsticks and took the hot towel handed to her by Ruo Er to wipe off the grease on her mouth and hands. Suddenly, she thought of what happened last night at the pavilion. Now that the Emperor has asked Xiang Yanran to go over, she wonders if it's because of what happened last night.

  The more she thought about it, the more worried Han Xi became. She raised her head and asked You'er, who was standing by her side with a worried expression: "You'er, what do you think is going on this time that the Emperor has summoned Xiao Ran? Is it because of last night's incident? And what kind of person is the Emperor?"

  In response to Han Xi Tong's question, You Er's face slightly froze before she lowered her head and said with a respectful expression: "The Emperor has asked the Princess to go over, whether it's because of last night's matter, I don't know. However, Miss Han can rest assured that the Emperor is extremely fond of the Princess, even if the Princess does anything, the Emperor won't blame her."

  At this point, You'er's tone was extremely affirmative, which piqued Han Xi's curiosity.

  Her beautiful eyes sparkled for a moment, and Su Tongtong became interested. After all, although they had already been intimate with Han Xi Tong, their understanding of him was still very limited. Taking advantage of the current free time, Han Xi Tong decided to get to know Ruo Er better.

  After all, You'er has always been by Xun Xiang's side, so he naturally knows a lot about him. And You'er didn't hide anything, telling everything he knew about Xun Xiang.

  At the same time, on the other side of the imperial palace.

  Yanxindian, where emperors of past dynasties resided, is a magnificent sight with its golden glazed tiles and vermilion walls. The golden dragon stone pillars display the majesty and nobility of the imperial family.

  Jade stone on the ground, musk fragrance wafts through, emerald sea and golden mirror, bright pearls for lamps, jade plate and golden bowl, light yellow silk curtains gently swaying, drifting with the gentle breeze.

  The ancient jade artifacts placed on top of the low cabinet are all worth a fortune, and every one of them shows off the emperor's luxury and nobility.

  But at this moment, a handsome man wearing a golden dragon robe stands majestically by the window, his hands clasped behind him, allowing the golden sunlight to spill in from outside and gently illuminate his body, as if he is surrounded by a layer of golden light, making him dazzlingly radiant like an immortal descending to earth, exuding dignity and extraordinary nobility!

  Such a luxurious and noble palace, paired with a man who is as handsome as a celestial being, at first glance, it seems like a watercolor painting carefully painted by the heavens, making one feel that it can only be admired from afar and not profaned.

  And this majestic and dignified man, is actually the current Emperor of Tianxuan Dynasty, Xuan Huang!

  Only at this moment, the phoenix was standing with its hands behind its back, a pair of bright and sharp black eyes gazing into the distance, quietly watching the scenery outside the window.

  In his calm and peaceful black eyes, it's impossible to know what he's thinking.

  However, Li Dezi, the eunuch who had been serving him for many years, could tell from the slight pursing of Huan's lips that he was in a very bad mood at the moment. The reason for his bad mood was none other than the Empress Shu, who sat on one side and had been crying since she came in.

  Seeing a mother and son crying on one side, Li Dezhi couldn't help but frown slightly, and then sighed helplessly in his heart.

  This Shu Xiang is a founding elder, kind and courteous to the virtuous, how could he have given birth to such a stupid daughter like Princess Shu?

  All day long, she would only cry and wail, like other shrews, crying and making a fuss, no wonder the emperor, after having his way with her once, wouldn't even consider summoning her to serve him in bed again.

  However, this Shu Fei's life was good. After the Emperor's only visit to her, she surprisingly gave birth to a boy and then rose from Guiren to Guifei, relying on her son's nobility, and established herself in the harem.

  Unfortunately, she is this eighth prince...

  "Your Majesty, waaah... you must do something about this for me and Li'er! The eighth prince, a dignified member of the royal family, was actually bullied by a lowly palace maid and kicked into the pond. Luckily, he was rescued by the guards at the time. If anything had happened to Li'er, I wouldn't have been able to live on... waaah..."

  "Yes, Father Emperor, that little palace maid dares to bully me, it's infuriating, but Seventh Brother still favors her. Waaahhh... I'm so dizzy now, my whole body is cold and hot at the same time, waaahhh... it's so unbearable! Father Emperor, you must take charge for me..."

  "Wuuu, Lier, don't scare Mother Empress, you're her only precious treasure now. If anything happens to you, Mother Empress won't want to live either... wuuu..."

  The Empress Dowager finished speaking and then hugged the eighth prince, Jing Li, and wept bitterly, her wails so mournful that it was as if she were bidding farewell to a dying loved one.
