"Little Xing, you're still as kind as before. Pay attention to everyone." The Emperor suddenly said this.
I was a little confused when I heard that. Or, could it be that the Emperor knew that I had done something kind before?
Even though I was full of doubts, I didn't ask and only smiled cooperatively.
I did it a little stiffly, far away, huddled in a corner, not even knowing where to put my eyes.
However, I could feel the emperor's gaze roaming all over me. I was not used to it.
"You must be hungry." The Emperor's voice floated into my ears, and I looked up.
The emperor took out a plate of pastries as if he was performing a magic trick.
It was really a plate, placed delicately on top of the plate. Looking at it, it looked like it had just come out of the oven. It was the osmanthus cake that I really liked.
I had a look of pleasant surprise on my face. "Where did the emperor take it from?"
"I thought that you would like to eat, so I brought it over for you. I thought that you could satisfy my craving on the road, but I didn't think that you would give your food to the carriage driver. This is just nice for me to fill my stomach."
"Thank you, your majesty. As expected of the Emperor, your thoughts are indeed more meticulous than others." My mouth was full of pastries.
The osmanthus cake in the palace was sweet and soft. I bit down on it and felt that my life was already satisfied.
"Is it that tasty? This Emperor doesn't have the same feeling as you." When the Emperor saw that I was enjoying my meal, he couldn't help but take a sip and frown at me.
"Of course it's delicious. The emperor has eaten too many precious delicacies, so he doesn't feel anything. Occasionally eating this phrase makes one's happiness explode."
"Eating food makes you happy. You're really a little foodie," the Emperor smiled lovingly.
My way of eating always gets scolded. Before, Su Ye kept on telling me to be gentle when I was eating, but I just couldn't do it.
If I meet my favorite food, I would like to throw myself into the food one by one.
There was some residue on my mouth, and I didn't feel it myself.
Perhaps the Emperor couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he stretched out his hand and gently wiped it for me.
I was a little taken aback. The emperor grew up in gold and jade, but he actually helped me wipe the food scraps off my face just like that.
I was a little perturbed. The Emperor's actions were a little too intimate.
On the other hand, the Emperor wasn't embarrassed at all, nor did he feel anything was amiss, as if it was only natural.
Then he took a glass of water from the side and handed it to me.
This time, I saw it clearly. It was taken out from the Dark Pavilion.
Who would have thought that such a small carriage actually had something to do with it?
The inner walls of the carriage were filled with things used to store in the Dark Pavilion.
However, because the workmanship was very meticulous, one wouldn't be able to see any abnormalities once it was pulled.
It was a magical sight. I couldn't help but admire the wisdom and skill of the ancients.
"What's wrong?" the Emperor asked uncomfortably when he saw me looking at him.
"This carriage is really good. It's simply too grand." I sighed.
"Do you like it?"
"I like it. Who wouldn't like such a good carriage? " I was blunt.
"Then I'll give it to you."
"Huh?"
"It'll be yours from now on. Don't you like it?"
"But, Your Majesty, this is your carriage, so it's obviously quite valuable. Has Your Majesty always been so generous with it?" I was shocked by the emperor's grandeur.
To give away such a good carriage so casually without even batting an eyelid, it must have been a big deal.
"I am only so good to you. As long as it's what you want, I will give it to you, no matter what? " The emperor's eyes were filled with deep emotion.
I was suddenly overwhelmed by the emperor's deep feelings.
"Your majesty?" I called out. The Emperor was looking at me strangely, as if he was looking at me, but at the same time, he wasn't.
I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Emperor is reminiscing about an old friend through me? Could it be that I'm very similar to a girl that the Emperor once knew?
"Your majesty, I was very curious before. Your majesty said we knew each other, but I don't have any memory of it. Your majesty looks at me like she's looking at someone else through me. Is it because I look like an old friend of your majesty's that your majesty treats me so well?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Why do you think so?" The Emperor was surprised by my question, and his eyes dimmed a little.
"You can say that. Not only do you look like her, but your personality is also the same." The Emperor's voice was somewhat sorrowful as he reminisced.
"Really? Then what happened to her?" I'm curious.
"Then I accidentally lost her, and I hurt her." The emperor's expression was sorrowful, looking somewhat dejected.
"Did he lose it? What a pity. However, with how good the Emperor is, he will definitely reunite with an old friend." I can only comfort her.
"That's right. I once swore that if I was able to get it back, I would use my entire life to protect her and make her a perfect person." The Emperor looked at me with a burning gaze.
"But I'm not her. The emperor doesn't need to be so good to me. Instead, I feel a little guilty about occupying the nest." I tell the truth.
"I said that I would leave it to you, don't shirk it. At that time, I was trying to atone for my mistakes." The emperor's face suddenly turned ice-cold.
The emperor was a little infuriated, which scared me so much that I quickly shut my mouth, not daring to say another word.
"Sorry for scaring you. For the past few days, I've been busy with national affairs, so I'm a bit tired. I can't control myself for the moment." Realizing that his attitude might have scared me, the Emperor immediately looked at me apologetically.
"It's fine, the emperor is busy every day, I'm sure of it," I said indifferently, and the emperor's tone wasn't very intimidating.
The Emperor, who was always ready to kill people, was much gentler. How could I blame the Emperor for this?
Just like that, we chatted all the way to the palace. Once we got out of the carriage, some palace maids and eunuchs would surround us and help us with umbrellas.
The rain was getting lighter, but it was still pouring down.
Under the Emperor's guidance, I saw for the first time the true face of the imperial kitchens.
The kitchen was large, larger than I had expected, and it was divided into many smaller sections.
There were those who cooked pastries and sweets. Each cuisine was even divided into different departments. Each department was a separate kitchen, clearly separated from the others.
At a glance, clean and tidy, make people feel pleasant, not as noisy and chaotic as I imagined, everyone, their duties, Jin Jin ordered, a peaceful.
As we entered, the smell of it wafted into our noses. It was extremely tempting.
"It smells so good." I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. Then, I realized that the emperor was looking at me with a playful smile. He couldn't help but blush.
