Li Yuyu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, just as she was about to put down her chopsticks to feed Yan Xiu with his own, Yan Xiu stopped her.
"Use my beloved concubine’s instead."
Li Yuyu: ...
This big pig hoof has so many requests.
Li Yuyu glared at Yan Xiu and deliberately picked up a large chopstick full of a dish that Yan Xiu didn’t like and fed him.
Shen Quan was anxious watching from the side, the Emperor had eaten quite a bit today, and he didn’t like eggplants, wasn’t Li Yuyu intentionally causing trouble!
Li Yuyu indeed had a secret feeling of revenge, how dare Yan Xiu steal her stir-fried eggplant tips just now?
Do you love to steal? Hmph, eat, eat it all!
Yan Xiu’s attention was all on Li Yuyu and naturally didn’t miss her little expression, his deep eyes filled with a faint smile, as the chopsticks reached his lips, he opened his mouth to eat without hesitation.
Li Yuyu widened her eyes: "...You, don’t you dislike..."
"Lady Li!" Shen Quan suddenly called out, interrupting Li Yuyu’s unfinished words.
Li Yuyu was startled and dropped her chopsticks, looking at him a bit dazed.
Shen Quan took another pair of chopsticks and respectfully handed them to Li Yuyu, smiling so broadly his eyes disappeared: "Concubine, the Emperor is still waiting to continue eating."
Li Yuyu: ...
Understood, the Emperor’s preferences can’t be spoken out, otherwise, it might bring about serious consequences.
Yan Zixuan is a man with protagonist aura, and he’s very smart, any accidental words from her can be seized by Yan Zixuan to harm Yan Xiu.
Li Yuyu knows that to survive, she must ensure Yan Xiu stays on the throne for a long time.
Whenever there’s even a small spark that might harm Yan Xiu, she must extinguish it without hesitation.
"Emperor, try this." Li Yuyu thought it through and fed Yan Xiu with much more willingness.
Yan Xiu didn’t eat it this time: "My beloved concubine hasn’t eaten enough, beloved concubine should eat."
Li Yuyu didn’t think much of it, as she indeed hadn’t eaten enough, so she started eating herself. But just as she took her second bite, Yan Xiu grabbed her wrist again and brought the dish she picked to his mouth.
Is this dog Emperor addicted to stealing food?
Li Yuyu’s eyebrows shot up as she glared at Yan Xiu furiously.
Yan Xiu looked at Li Yuyu’s puffed-up cheeks and couldn’t help but poke them with his finger.
"Pfft..." Li Yuyu couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.
Yan Xiu’s lips also curled into a soft, gentle smile.
Yan Zixuan looked stunned at the extraordinarily charming Li Yuyu, laughing without any care for her image, and felt his heart beat faster. When he caught sight of Yan Xiu’s smile and gentle indulgence towards her, he felt a sudden pang of pain in his chest.
"Prince Xuan, what are you doing?" Shen Quan saw Yan Zixuan leaving directly and quickly followed to ask.
"The Imperial Concubine is still waiting at Jingxiang Palace for me to dine; fear that the wait might be too long, I will go first. Please explain to my brother." Yan Zixuan tried to put the girl’s silver-bell-like laughter out of his mind and maintained his usual gentle demeanor.
"Yes, I will relay every word to the Emperor."
"Much appreciated." Yan Zixuan expressed gratitude and turned away, with one hand behind his back, gracefully and elegantly leaving in his dark robe.
"Farewell, Prince." Shen Quan bowed and waited until Yan Zixuan had walked far away before straightening up.
"Is the Emperor pleased?" Li Yuyu pouted and glared at Yan Xiu: "I’ve already said I don’t like him, why won’t the Emperor believe me?"
"Oh?" Yan Xiu grabbed Li Yuyu’s wrist pulling her into his embrace: "Then tell me, whom does my beloved concubine like?"
