When Hua Manman returned to the palace, it was just in time for lunch.
She quickly changed her clothes and ran to the dining room to report.
Li Ji was sitting in a wheelchair reading military books, when he saw Hua Manman coming, he put the book aside and asked a question with a half-smile.
"You finally know you're back?"
"I just went out to buy some things, the prince is waiting for me to eat together, right? The prince is really considerate, I am so touched."
While talking, Hua Manman graciously served him vegetables.
Li Ji enjoyed her service with peace of mind.
When he was five or six percent full, he opened his mouth slowly.
"Sit down and eat too."
This is what Hua Manman was waiting for!
She immediately sat down on the empty seat opposite King Zhao, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and ate with relish.
The chef of King Zhao's Mansion was specially transferred from the Imperial Dining Room by the emperor. Naturally, his cooking skills are undeniable. Every dish cooked is full of color, fragrance and taste, so delicious that people want to swallow it with their tongues.
Hua Manman felt that she would try to please King Zhao more and more for the excellent food in Prince Zhao's Mansion, and strive to eat with King Zhao for every meal in the future.
Li Ji could hear her heart clearly.
It turned out that this woman tried her best to please him just to eat and drink with him.
So realistic.
Hua Manman found that King Zhao was staring at her again, and was quite puzzled.
King Zhao always seems to like to stare into other people's eyes.
What kind of strange habit is he
Li Ji asked leisurely: "Are these dishes delicious?"
Hua Manman swallowed the food in his mouth, nodded his head like pounding garlic: "It's super delicious!"
Li Ji: "How does it compare with the food in the teahouse?"
Hua Manman was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that the teahouse that King Zhao mentioned should be the place where she and Song Ding talked about things today.
It turned out that King Zhao sent someone to follow her!
Otherwise, King Zhao would not have known about this so quickly.
Li Ji admitted frankly: "I did send someone to follow you secretly."
Hua Manman: "Is the prince trying to protect the safety of my concubine? The prince is really considerate, my concubine is almost moved to tears."
She took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the red corners of her eyes, looking really touched.
However, Li Ji clearly heard her inner voice at this moment—
"Dog man, you pervert, you actually sent someone to watch me!"
Li Ji: "..."
Hua Manman put down the silk handkerchief, her small face was filled with a happy smile: "I am able to marry the prince in my body, it is really a blessing I cultivated in my previous life."
Li Jiliang swished back and asked: "Since that's the case, why do you still have a private meeting with your lover?"
The smile on Hua Manman's face quickly faded, and her little face turned pale.
Such a pitiful appearance, as if he had suffered a great grievance.
I almost cried with aggrievedness.
"What lover? The concubine's lover is only the prince. If the prince says such things again, the concubine's heart will be broken."
Li Ji didn't like her.
He chuckled, his tone full of mockery.
"Oh, even if your heart is broken, it will be broken by Song Ding, so what has it to do with me?"
Seeing that Hua Manman had already talked about this, she couldn't get away with it without giving a reasonable explanation today.
She had no choice but to restrain her emotions a little, and whispered how she happened to meet Song Ding on the street.
"The reason why the concubine agreed to go to the teahouse with him was to break up with him.
If you don't believe it, you can ask Siyun.
She followed the concubine all the time, and she knew everything that the concubine had said to Song Ding. "
Li Ji stared at her for a moment, and found that there was no voice in her heart.
She is telling the truth.
She didn't lie to him.
Li Ji felt a little more at ease.
He leaned back, his posture quite relaxed.
"Of course the king believes in you."
