Tonight's Mingyue Palace is brightly lit and lively.

Since receiving Yu Ruyi from his father-in-law Chang Xi, Chu Xianxian has been busy happily, cleaning the Mingyue Palace, keeping a close eye on the kitchen, and dressing up clothes and jewelry.

Before I knew it, it was night. The palace was gorgeous and tidy, with elegant and quiet decorations, and the food was beautiful and attractive.

Chu Xianxian was combed in her family bun and decorated with exquisite jewelry. She was wearing a long skirt with red and golden begonia flowers and phoenix tail, and her slender waist was tied tightly and thinly, graceful and orderly.

Standing in the dim candlelight, like a fairy under the moon.

She sat in the bedroom and waited for no one to come, and she wanted to stand at the door and look around.

Aunt Derong smiled and brought a cup of rock candy lotus seed soup and comforted him, "Master, don't worry, Your Majesty may be delayed by political affairs, and you should be here in a while.

Do you have some lotus seed soup cushion first?”

"No more drinking."

Chu Xianxian waved her hand, walked to the bronze mirror and took a look, "My hair bun isn't messy, right?

Do you want to replenish some powder?"

Aunt Derong praised, "The master is born beautiful and looks good even if he doesn't dress up."

Chu Xianxian smiled slightly when she heard this.

"Here's here--" The little eunuch from Mingyue Palace hurried over with a happy face.

Chu Xianxian was excited and subconsciously suppressed her hair, lifted her skirt and walked out.

Accompanied by the saying "Your Majesty is here", the people of Mingyue Palace saluted under the leadership of Chu Xianxian, "Greetings to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be blessed with you."

Yuan Xun, wearing a dark red robe and a black jade belt, strode into the palace, looked around the palace, and finally fell on the carefully decorated Chu Xianxian.

"Get up."

He said in a deep voice.

His voice was low and magnetic, and Chu Xianxian's heart moved slightly. When she raised her head and saw the handsome and handsome man in front of her, she felt even more excited.

Although I had heard from my father that His Majesty had a very handsome appearance, now I have seen it with my own eyes, and I just feel that no amount of praise can describe the handsomeness of the man in front of me.

When he thought of himself as his concubine, Chu Xianxian's cheeks couldn't help but flush, both fortunate and joyful.

"Your Majesty, dinner is ready, please come in and have a meal."

She looked at Yuan Xun shyly, her voice was so sweet that it could drip honey.

"Um."

Yuan Xun glanced at her and thought to himself that Chu Shanlin had given birth to a beautiful daughter, but unfortunately his eyes were unstable. Like his father, he was a very thoughtful person.

There are seven main dishes and thirteen side dishes on the long table with red sandalwood carved patterns. In addition, there are various candied fruits and pastries, paired with exquisite tableware, which are all in color, fragrance and flavor.

Yuan Xun sat upright on the top, and Chu Xianxian stood upright while serving the meal.

"Your Majesty, this stewed golden hook wing is delicious and juicy. Do you try it?"

"Um."

Yuan Xun responded, and saw that her eyes were always following him, frowned, "Stop busy, you can sit down and use it."

"This... I'm grateful to you, Your Majesty."

Chu Xianxian was flattered and sat down timidly.

She moves elegantly and gentlely, and she needs to chew more than a dozen times after taking a small bite.

Yuan Xun drank a bowl of rice, but she only took three chopsticks.

The meal was particularly quiet. Chu Xianxian wanted to talk to each other several times, but when he saw Yuan Xun's expressionless handsome face, he swallowed the words silently and honestly lowered his head to count rice.

When Yuan Xun felt eighty-minute full, he put down his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Chu Xianxian hurriedly put down her chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said softly, "Have your Majesty used it?"

Yuan Xun nodded slightly, touched her affectionate moist eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "You have entered the palace, stay well.

If there is anything needed, just tell us about Concubine Zhao.

It’s very appropriate that she will take care of all the big and small things in the harem.”

Chu Xianxian lowered her eyes and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine in this."

Yuan Xun, “Yeah…”

Chu Xianxian's long eyelashes moved slightly. After waiting for a long time, Yuan Xun spoke again. She looked up carefully at him, and saw that he frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After his thoughts changed slightly, Chu Xianxian said softly, "Your Majesty has been busy with political affairs for a day, and I think it's a bit tired. Is it better to move to the inner hall and play a song for Your Majesty?"

Yuan Xun looked up at her. Her face looked like a red glow, and her eyes were a bit seductive and expectant.

He has seen this kind of look many times. Those brave women have the same look, shy and ambitious.

A pair of foggy and clear eyes suddenly flashed through my mind.

Oh yes, except for that little petite bag, her eyes were more eager to look at him at food.

"His Majesty?"

Chu Xianxian called out twice before pulling Yuan Xun back to his senses. He stared at her, "No need."

Chu Xianxian was stunned, "Ah?"

Yuan Xun stood up, glanced at her, and said calmly, "There are still a bunch of me waiting for me to deal with, so I won't listen to the song."

Chu Ronghua, you should take a break early too.”

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Chu Xianxian was stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he hurriedly took two steps forward, called out "Your Majesty" quietly, trying to keep it.

But the man's aura was so cold that she didn't dare to reach out to touch him.

Just as she bit her lip and felt wronged, Yuan Xun stopped.

Chu Xianxian's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked up at him, his tone was an unsuppressible surprise, "Your Majesty..."

Yuan Xun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I heard that Concubine Zhao ordered the reduction of the cost of each palace for disaster relief in Yuzhou. Your table of dishes is too extravagant today. Don't waste it so extravagantly in the future."

Chu Xianxian's face froze, and she never expected that he had stopped for this.

For a moment, she felt her face burning, and she lowered her head and said, "Yes, I will follow my instructions."

Yuan Xun stopped looking at her and walked straight to the door.

Listening to the harmony of "Your Majesty" outside the door, the smile on Chu Xianxian's face suddenly disappeared. She bit her lips tightly, and her little face turned white.

"master."

Aunt Derong squeezed her cold sweat and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Let's go back to the house and sit down first."

When Yun Yan saw Aunt Derong's eyes, she sent the palace servant away very easily, "Go and go, don't stand stupidly, just go your own way."

When the master and servant walked into the inner hall, Chu Xianxian waved her hand fiercely, and the cups on the table fell down, shattering the ground.

“What does he mean?

I tried my best to cook a table of good dishes. He blamed me for being extravagant?

I dressed up carefully, but he didn't even look at me at a few times?"

Chu Xianxian leaned over and lay on the small table, her slender fingers pressed against the edge of the table, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

The men have always chased her. When did she please a man so much?

"Oh my good master."

Aunt Derong looked out the door nervously, and after confirming that there was no one around, she closed the window and said worriedly, "Even if you are angry, don't blame Your Majesty. Be careful of the walls."

"Yes, master, this is the palace, and it's not as good as outside."

Yun Yan whispered a clean hot veil and handed it over, whispering to comfort her, "Don't be sad, Your Majesty must be really busy with government affairs before leaving us."

Master, when you were having meals with Your Majesty, I kept watching you, Your Majesty is still very gentle to you.”

"mild?"

Chu Xianxian applied her hot veil to her eyes, frowned, and turned her head to look at Aunt Derong, "Aunt, is your Majesty gentle?"

“Uh…yes, yes.

Your Majesty rarely eats with concubines, and rarely goes to the concubine palace. There are not many women in the palace who can talk to His Majesty.

Master, you have just entered the palace and received the reward from Your Majesty and have dinner with Your Majesty. This kind of favor is really rare!"

Aunt Derong said repeatedly.

Chu Xianxian snorted coldly and threw the veil next to it, "It's rare?

Chen Danruo had seen His Majesty several times before I saw His Majesty today.

If my father hadn't been the prime minister, I'd probably never even seen this side!"
