Chapter 16 "So, can you... not leave in such a hurry?"

Xie Qinghuan sighed.

"Forget it, let's have dinner first!"

He stood up and glanced at Yu Luo.

Yu Luo quickly retreated and served the meal.

Chu Hanxiao recovered well, and Xie Qinghuan asked him to sit down and eat together.

He was a little confused at first.

after all……

After all, I had been a servant for several years, and I was always nervous when eating at the same table with her.

But Xie Qinghuan pulled him to sit down.

All the dishes he liked in his previous life were moved in front of him.

"Eat it!"

Her eyes sparkled as she thought...

I haven't had dinner with him for a long time!

In his previous life, no matter how busy he was, he would always come and have dinner with her.

After dinner, he would find all kinds of reasons to stay in her palace...

Chu Hanxiao didn't understand what was going on. He picked up the bowl and looked at her anxiously.

Just started eating.

In his previous life, he was like this——

No matter how simple the meal was, he would always wolf it down, which whetted people's appetite.

With him around, she could always eat a few more bites.

She was in a good mood today and didn't need Yuzhu to serve her, so she served the food for him herself.

He poked the rice with his jade chopsticks and ate slowly.

When Chu Hanxiao finished his bowl of rice, her bowl only had minor scratches.

But he refused to eat any more and pushed the remaining rice to him.

Secretly looking forward to it.

She wanted him to clean up her leftovers like he did in his previous life...

Chu Hanxiao blinked and put down the empty bowl with not a grain of rice left.

【You don’t want to eat anymore? 】

"I am full."

【You didn’t eat in the morning. 】

He still remembered how distraught she looked when she left.

Xie Qinghuan nodded slightly and pushed the bowl towards him.

Chu Hanxiao frowned and picked it up tentatively.

Feeling suspicious.

Why, is the Prime Minister’s family so poor that they can’t even have enough white rice?

He was puzzled as he saw the light in her eyes brighten inch by inch.

Are you so happy just letting him eat some leftovers?

Miss Xiangfu, what kind of hobby is this!

He just swallowed silently.

After finishing two bowls of rice, Xie Qinghuan was in a good mood.

I felt so satisfied as if I had eaten it myself.

"Do you still want to eat?"

Chu Hanxiao shook his head.

The maid came forward and cleared the table.

"Then you should rest early today. We will go to the General's Mansion to look for medicine tomorrow..."

Thinking that he would leave after the poison was cured.

Both men fell into silence.

Xie Qinghuan poured tea for them.

Thinking of his little notebook today, he spoke hesitantly.

"I have already told my brother that I want to take you to the Imperial College..."

Seeing a gleam of light in his eyes, she was afraid that she would be disappointed if she couldn't go, so she quickly added.

"Even if it doesn't work out, I will find a teacher for you to teach you how to read and write, and learn martial arts to protect yourself..."

She swallowed and nervously explored Chu Hanxiao's eyes.

And he just looked at her quietly.

It seemed that he could guess what she wanted to say, and also...

A hidden expectation.

"So, can you... not leave in such a hurry?"

Chu Hanxiao's heart was relieved.

Looking at her blinking her clear and bright eyes, I tried cautiously.

He suddenly felt...

She doesn't seem that complicated!

If it was really to help the Prime Minister find a puppet emperor...

Chu Zhenye or Chu Yongji are both cheaper.

Even if you are worried that it will be difficult to control, you can just leave the father and keep the son, and support the young son to ascend the throne!

Isn’t it faster and more effective than helping him detoxify and cure his illness?

and so……

Why is the eldest lady so nice to him?

On him...

Apart from royal blood, what else is worth her coveting?

"May I?"

Xie Qinghuan was afraid that he would remain silent, so she asked anxiously.

Chu Hanxiao was no longer awkward with her.

Slowly raise your hand:

【We will discuss this after the poison is resolved.】

"Good~"

Xie Qinghuan laughed.

The smile feels like a relief from a heavy burden, and makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

Chu Hanxiao lowered his eyes and drank tea, not daring to look at her again.

I was so afraid that I would be infected by her smile and couldn’t sleep at night again…

"Then you have a good rest, see you tomorrow."

See you tomorrow.

After watching her leave the door, Chu Hanxiao finally realized.

He laughed again!

Wasn't he born not to like laughing?

how……

I couldn't control my emotions when I saw her...

He thought he was probably ill.

Always feeling irritated for no reason, or smiling unconsciously.

Her shadow always appears in front of my eyes and her voice is always heard.

Although I always thought of her when I couldn't sleep due to the pain...

But at least he knew that it was because he hated her!

But now...

He was totally messed up...

Fortunately, with anticipation for tomorrow, he slept well that night.

The next day, I woke up early.

When he saw the new clothes that Yu Luo presented to him, he hesitated for a moment.

This is……

Guard uniform.

It seemed that she had no intention of making his identity public.

This is indeed more thorough and will not lead to unnecessary assassinations.

But in this way, she can't repay the favor!

If she really cures his muteness in the future and he refuses to admit it, what should she do?

Or did she not want to get anything from him at all?

He thought no more.

Put on new clothes that are comfortable and fit, and go out to wait for her.

Women's dressing has always been time-consuming.

He waited contentedly and full of anticipation.

It was as if the person who was about to push the door open was his new life!

Half an hour passed and the sun was already high in the sky.

Just when Chu Hanxiao was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, the door finally opened.

It's worth the wait.

Today she is dressed very freshly and elegantly.

The light yellow dress made her skin look white.

The makeup is light, but it does not hide her beauty...

Chu Hanxiao stared with wide eyes.

All the servants around him bowed their heads, but he looked straight ahead with his eyes moving.

Xie Qinghuan didn't find it strange and smiled as soon as she saw him.

Holding up the hem of her skirt, she took two steps at a time and walked to his side. She looked up at him with her head slightly tilted.

"The clothes fit me well, and I look handsome and elegant! Really nice..."

Her eyes twinkled, and she made no secret of her preference and admiration for him.

This made his ears, which were always as cold as an iceberg, slightly red.

He coughed softly and lowered his head.

Xie Qinghuan liked his reaction, which was immature and reserved.

Unlike the previous life...

He always shamelessly forces her to praise him. If she praises him just once, he will keep wagging his tail for a long time!

She chuckled and turned around with Yuzhu and Yuluo.

"Let's go visit grandpa."

When she walked out of the main gate of the prime minister's residence, the carriage prepared for her and the horses prepared for the guards had been parked there waiting for a long time.

Xie Qinghuan got into the car with the help of Yuzhu.

Chu Hanxiao stood in front of the horse, somewhat absent-minded.

After training horses for many years, he still didn't know how it felt to ride a horse in front of people...

In the past, I looked up at the triumphant soldiers sitting on their horses.

He had also imagined how great it would be if he was the one being admired and worshipped by the people...

Now, he can ride his horse on the street openly?

It's like a dream...

However, before they had taken a few steps, Yuzhu called for a stop.

He walked quickly forward on his horse and bowed in salute.

"Guard Chu, the young lady invites you."

Guard Chu...

Hearing this name, Chu Hanxiao wanted to laugh.

But he held back.

He jumped off the horse swiftly and lifted the carriage curtain.

Xie Qinghuan was like a stealing kitten, holding the food box in her hands and waving at him with her eyelashes fluttering.

"Chu Hanxiao, come in quickly!"
