Xuanyuan Qi frowned. They had never been to the Xuanyuan Kingdom before, but they were targeted. It was obvious that something was wrong.
Also, since the token was given by his second brother, why would Song Jingchen send it back overnight?
“If you two don’t have anything else to do, spend more time with your imperial grandmother.” He waved his hand.
“Yes.”
In the Jade Light Hall, when Xuanyuan Ziming arrived, he saw Shen Yijia chewing on a drumstick that she had stolen from somewhere.
He was silent for a moment. “I’ve never seen anyone as big-hearted as you.”
Even if she didn’t mention the trouble she had just caused, her father had just died. This person was actually in the mood to eat meat.
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and said, “What else? Do I have to cry every day and not eat or drink?”
“Forget it. If that’s the case, Imperial Uncle’s heart will probably ache.” Shen Yijia paused and stopped talking. She continued to eat.
Knowing that he had said something wrong, Xuanyuan Ziming quickly took out the food box hidden behind him and said ingratiatingly, “Look what I brought you.”
As he opened the food box and placed the food inside, he said, “I know these dog slaves in the palace the best. I’ll go and knock them down later. I guarantee that they won’t dare to neglect you again.”
Soon, he filled the table, but… “Why is there no meat?”
“I thought you…”
How could he have known that this person was so carefree?
Shen Yijia was disgusted. “Take it away. I’m not eating it.”
He even reminded her that the sc.u.mbag was dead during dinner. Wasn’t he afraid that she would have indigestion?
“I’ve already brought it over. Take a bite. I’ll bring you meat next time.”
Xuanyuan Ziming was trying his best to persuade her when Eunuch Wu suddenly walked in.
“The Third Prince is here. Greetings, Third Prince.”
From his tone, it was obvious that he was very familiar with Xuanyuan Ziming.
Xuanyuan Ziming saw the food box in his hand and asked strangely, “Why is Eunuch Wu here?”
Eunuch Wu glanced at Shen Yijia, who snorted and turned her head away.
He smiled awkwardly and said, “Your Majesty asked me to deliver some food to
Madam Song.”
The table had long been filled by Xuanyuan Ziming, so he did not know where to put the food box.
Xuanyuan Ziming walked over to pick it up considerately. “Thank you for making the trip, Eunuch Wu.”
“Of course, it’s a small matter. Your Majesty is still waiting for me to go back and serve him. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Take care.”
After watching Eunuch Wu leave, Xuanyuan Ziming said happily, “It seems that Father still trusts you.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been biased over and over again.
He was about to put down the food box to see what they had sent.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the door again.
This time, it was Eunuch Yu.
He was also carrying a food box, but he was here to deliver it on behalf of Empress Dowager Zhou. He even brought a message for her.
“The empress dowager said that since His Majesty said that he would tolerate you for five days, she won’t hold it against you today on account that you’re of His Highness’s bloodline. However, don’t do anything to embarra.s.s His
Highness again.”
Shen Yijia felt that she was too kind to not throw the food box in Eunuch Yu’s face.
Eunuch Yu had seen how powerful Shen Yijia was. After saying that, he did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly bade farewell.
Xuanyuan Ziming stood there awkwardly. There was a food box in his left hand and a food box in his right.
He was indeed naive to say that he would protect her. With his imperial uncle’s daughter’s status, why would she need him to protect her?
When her imperial uncle was still alive, her imperial grandmother and father treated Xuanyuan Ye well, disregarding the fact that Xuanyuan Ye was born to the Yu family.
It was naturally the same for Shen Yijia.
Moreover, now that Imperial Uncle had left, as long as it was confirmed that Imperial Uncle was not harmed by this girl, this girl would definitely be a powerful figure in the future.
Xuanyuan Ziming felt that his relationship with Shen Yijia was too prescient.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “It’s up to you to befriend someone.”
“Which one do you want to eat?” Xuanyuan Ziming neatly put away the food he had brought and leaned over to ask.
Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes. “Is the old woman trying to poison me?”
Eunuch Yu remembered that he still had something to say.
Forget it. It wasn’t anything important.
The corners of Xuanyuan Ziming’s mouth twitched, so he opened both food boxes.
‘Eh…’
Shen Yijia looked over. The food box Eunuch Wu sent was actually filled with a whole roasted goose.
“Father, are you really that magnanimous?” Xuanyuan Ziming said gloomily.
As far as he knew, his father had already instructed everyone in the palace to refrain from eating meat for the next seven days.
He went to open another food box. At first glance, it was another piece of goose meat. On closer inspection, he realized that it was vegetarian goose meat made of bean skin.
Shen Yijia swallowed and looked at the vegetarian goose meat in disdain. She picked it up and ate it.
She despised it not only because it was vegetarian, but also because of Empress Dowager Zhou.
Empress Dowager Zhou treated him very well. Xuanyuan Ziming felt that he should explain it for her.
“Actually, Grandmother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She cares about my father and Imperial Uncle the most. Now that something has suddenly happened to Imperial Uncle and you’ve become a suspect, she inevitably…”
“She still hates my mother.”
Don’t think she didn’t notice that the old woman wanted to eat her up the moment she saw her.
“That’s because Imperial Uncle…”
“Doesn’t she know why my mother and the sc.u.mbag separated? My mother was clearly the one who was hurt. What right does she have to blame my mother for not letting her see her son?
The more Shen Yijia spoke, the angrier she became. She placed the roast goose on the table, picked up the other two food boxes, and threw them at Xuanyuan
Ziming, chasing him away.
Xuanyuan Ziming was speechless.
He had lost his potential supporter!
