Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Hua Manman accompanies King Zhao to the dinner.

At the banquet, she finally saw the rumored emperor.

He was sitting at the head, wearing a black brocade robe with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the hem, and a golden leather belt around his waist.

According to the description in "Gong Mou", the emperor was both civil and military, courageous and resourceful. During his reign, he was diligent in government affairs and worked hard to govern. Apart from being emotionally scumbag, he had no other problems.

He was tall and straight, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a deep facial contour.

Even if he is just sitting, he still gives people the power to look down on the world.

When Hua Manman saw his face clearly, she was slightly taken aback.

She subconsciously looked at King Zhao sitting beside her.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but she actually felt that King Zhao and the emperor looked somewhat similar.

Li Ji noticed her gaze, and glanced sideways at her, just in time to capture the thoughts in her heart.

His eyes dimmed all of a sudden.

"What are you thinking?"

Hua Manman hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't think about anything."

Li Jing looked at her steadily, with deep and dangerous eyes: "Don't think about things you shouldn't think about."

Hua Manman responded obediently: "I know."

At this time, the delicacies were served on the table one by one, the sound of silk and bamboo rang out, and the dancers floated to the beat.

Tonight's banquet has officially begun.

Hua Manman restrained his mind and began to concentrate on enjoying the delicious food.

Because King Zhao was injured, no wine was served at this table, and all the dishes were bland.

Fortunately, Hua Manman is not picky about food, and still eats with gusto.

On the contrary, Li Ji didn't have much appetite. After only two mouthfuls, he put down his chopsticks, looking lazy as if he didn't want to eat any more.

The emperor noticed this scene and asked gently.

"Why doesn't Ji'er eat? But the food doesn't suit your taste?"

Everyone stopped their movements and looked at King Zhao in unison.

There were so many people present, including the emperor's favorite concubines and the emperor's most valued prince, but the emperor still cared about King Zhao the most, which had to make everyone feel emotional and think more and more deeply.

Li Ji didn't seem to realize that he had become the focus of the audience.

He seemed unaware of those gazes on him, and responded calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I'm not too hungry, so I don't really want to eat."

At this time, the queen spoke slowly, with a very gentle voice: "Even if you are not very hungry, you should eat something, so as not to be hungry in the middle of the night."

Li Ji nodded slightly: "I know."

He picked up the chopsticks again, picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

Looking at him like this, Hua Manman doesn't seem to be eating meat, but rather like he's gnawing on a piece of wood. He doesn't have the happiness that should be enjoyed when tasting delicious food.

It made her feel a little uncomfortable.

When the attention of the emperor and empress was away from King Zhao, Hua Manman whispered to King Zhao.

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat, don't embarrass yourself."

Li Ji paused for a moment.

He looked down at the woman beside him.

I don't know what he thought of, he suddenly hooked his lips into a chuckle, lowered his head and leaned into her ear and asked softly.

"The queen told me to eat more, but you told me not to eat. Could it be that your words are more important than the queen's?"

The warm breath sprayed on Huamanman's ears, making her ears feel hot involuntarily.

She dodged to the side, pleading in a low voice.

"I didn't tell you not to eat, I just don't want to see you force yourself, I, I hope you can be happier."

The last sentence was spoken very lightly by her.

If Li Ji hadn't been very close, he wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly.

He chuckled softly.

"You're so cute."
