After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 364 I'm Afraid You'll Be Disappointed

Lu Shuangshuang no longer cared about the other party's disdainful tone. Her attention had been attracted by the sumptuous food on the stone table.

The emperor actually asked people to prepare food.

She couldn't help swallowing.

At the palace banquet, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she didn't eat much at the banquet.

Seeing the delicious food on the table, I couldn't help but feel hungry.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you sit down?" the emperor asked unhappily.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuangshuang quickly sat down.

Eunuch Zhao stepped forward considerately and poured wine for the two of them.

The emperor picked up the wine glass and looked at the girl staring at the food in a daze. He couldn't help but said, "Why don't you eat quickly? You can leave the palace quickly after eating."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuangshuang muttered to herself, if he disliked her so much, why did he prepare food for her?
The emperor's heart is like a needle in the sea.

Faced with delicious food, she didn't hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and started eating.

She did not care about her image and even hoped that she would behave a little rudely so that the emperor would not be able to stand it and would cancel the engagement.

Thinking of this possibility, she deliberately ate with a mouthful of oil, and at the end, she wiped her mouth with her hand.

Sure enough, the emperor was very displeased when he saw her like this, "Lu Shuangshuang, where is your upbringing?"

Lu Shuangshuang blinked and looked at him in confusion, "Why is the emperor angry? Do you think I ate too much?"

The emperor choked, glanced at the pile of meat and bones in front of her, his eyes twitched, and in the end he said nothing more.

Forget it, I have to accept the queen I chose, no matter how rude she is.

Although he comforted himself in this way, the emperor still felt upset.

At this moment, Lu Shuangshuang took his wine glass, refilled it for him, and put it back next to him. Then she picked up her own glass and clinked it with his, "Your Majesty, I wish you peace and longevity."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression softened a little. This girl still had some conscience.

However, the next moment, when he picked up the wine glass and touched his hand with oil, his handsome face froze and he glared at Lu Shuangshuang with gritted teeth, "Lu Shuangshuang!"

Seeing that he was angry, Lu Shuangshuang quickly drank the wine in the cup, then put the cup down, stood up quickly and said: "Thank you for the emperor's hospitality, it's getting late, I'm leaving the palace."

emperor:"……"

He laughed angrily.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

Lu Shuangshuang wiped her oily hands with a towel and asked in confusion, "Why does the emperor say that?"

Looking at her actions, the emperor frowned.

Is Lu Shuangshuang also so rude at home?

Not only is he stupid, but his mouth and hands are also covered with oil when he eats.

Thinking about him having to spend his whole life with such a sloppy person, he suddenly felt a little bored.

He put down the cup and said calmly, "Zhao Fu, escort Miss Lu out of the palace."

"Yes." Eunuch Zhao responded respectfully and said to Lu Shuangshuang, "Miss Lu, please!"

Lu Shuangshuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Eunuch Zhao.

Judging from the emperor's unhappy expression just now, he should cancel this marriage, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Shuangshuang was extremely happy and her steps became lighter.

……

At this time, outside the Cining Palace, Qin Xuan sent the eldest princess to the palace and stopped.

Because today is New Year's Eve, the eldest princess had to accompany the Queen Mother to stay up all night, so after the banquet, Qin Xuan sent the eldest princess over.

"It's getting late, you should go back first." The princess turned and looked at the young man behind her, her cold voice now had a little more warmth.

"Okay." Qin Xuan responded, hesitated for a moment, took out a small, round box from his arms, and handed it over, "This is a New Year's gift for Your Highness."

The princess was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it. The corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing her inner joy, but her tone was light, "What is it?"

Qin Xuan's duck-feather-like eyelashes trembled, and he lowered his eyes and said, "It's not a valuable thing. I just saw it on the way back, so I bought it for Your Highness."

"What is it?" The eldest princess looked at him with burning eyes and insisted that he tell it himself.

"Yes...about a finger." After a while, Qin Xuan uttered a few words with dry lips.

When the princess heard this, her cold eyes were replaced by a bright one.

She couldn't wait to open the box, and saw a gold ring inlaid with a ruby ​​inside.

She paused, took out the ring, and handed it to the boy, "Put it on me."

Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then met her burning eyes and pretty face, and felt a little hot. He took it as she said.

The eldest princess immediately extended her left hand to him.

Qin Xuan calmed himself, held her slender fingers, and slowly put the ring on her middle finger.

The princess withdrew her hand, looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Although it is a bit old-fashioned, it is also your heartfelt gesture. This princess accepts it."

"I'm glad that Your Highness doesn't mind." Qin Xuan nodded.

Seeing his serious look, the princess curled her lips and said, "Okay, go back."

"I'll take my leave." Qin Xuan bowed and then turned to leave.

The Lord stood there, watching his figure disappear in the corridor, lowered his head and fiddled with the ring on his finger a few times, then put his hands behind his back and walked into the Cining Palace.

……

Lu Mansion.

As soon as Lu Shuangshuang returned to the Lu Mansion, her family members surrounded her with concern, "What is the matter that the emperor summoned you for?"

"It's nothing." Lu Shuangshuang shook her head. She had concealed the fact that the emperor prepared food for her from her family so as to prevent them from thinking too much. After all, the emperor would probably issue an order to cancel the engagement in a few days.

After hearing this, Lu's mother and others did not ask any more questions, but Qiao Jingjing did not believe her and pulled her aside to talk in private.

"The Emperor didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from her, Lu Shuangshuang had to lean close to her ear and whispered, "The emperor actually had someone prepare food for me in the imperial garden. Do you think he is sick?"

Qiao Jingjing was shocked when she heard this, "Really?"

Compared with that time when he entered the palace, the emperor's dislike for Shuangshuang was really like the sun rising in the west.

Lu Shuangshuang nodded, "It's true. The emperor also said that he noticed that I didn't eat much at the banquet, so he asked me to prepare some food."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she was surprised and asked, "Could it be that the emperor finally realized that he treated you so badly last time, so he wants to compensate you?"

Lu Shuangshuang sneered, "I think he clearly wants to show off his majesty as an emperor in front of me and make me feel grateful to him. However, after the New Year, he may propose to cancel the engagement."

The more Qiao Jingjing listened, the more confused she became. "Hasn't the emperor just shown his affection to you? Why would he cancel the engagement? Who told you that?"

"It's just my own guess." Lu Shuangshuang immediately told her about her performance in the Imperial Garden just now.

Qiao Jingjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are so brave, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you in anger?"

"Didn't you say that today is New Year's Day, the emperor will definitely not seek bad luck. It would be too unlucky if he wanted to punish me." Lu Shuangshuang said indifferently.

Seeing her relaxed expression, Qiao Jingjing smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
