Ji Xili's cheeks were slightly shy after hearing this. Just when he was about to say something to him, Sheng Zhiyu fed him again, "Open your mouth."
Ji Xili was fed by him, and looking at his focused and affectionate eyes, it seemed that she was overthinking something, and Ji Xili was embarrassed to say anything more.
The weather has not been very good these days, with frequent drizzles, and the injury on Ji Xili's hand is healing slowly. Sheng Zhiyu will come over on time every day after court to change her dressing and accompany her to have meals. It’s hard to even think about it or get used to it.
But habits are a scary thing.
Habits probably mean being uncomfortable, then becoming accustomed to them, and then...
One day when it was time to go to court, Sheng Zhiyu did not come, and Ji Xili felt a little uncomfortable.
At that time, Ji Xili was sitting in the palace reading the Art of War as usual. Although she didn't like reading, since her hand was injured, Sheng Zhiyu wouldn't let her do this or that. He had been tired for a while, and the people in the palace were about to complain to Sheng Zhiyu. Ji Xili didn't want to make him angry, so he had been calm these days.
Ji Xili originally thought that Sheng Zhiyu was too busy with government affairs, so he was not in a hurry to have a meal. He wanted to wait for Sheng Zhiyu to come back before having dinner with him. However, he did not see Sheng Zhiyu coming until after noon. Purple Spirit Palace.
Out of concern, Ji Xili sent someone to ask the emperor if he had eaten. The news he received was that Sheng Zhiyu had not come out of the main hall today, let alone had a meal.
After hearing this, Ji Xili finally put down the book in her hand and asked someone to prepare lunch. She planned to go to the main hall.
Sheng Zhiyu usually cared about her, but today he was too busy to have time to eat. She should always do her duty as a wife.
Ji Xili brought the meal and went to the main hall.
Speaking of which, this was the first time she went back to the main hall to find Sheng Zhiyu. In the past, Sheng Zhiyu would come to Ziling Palace to find her after finishing his work.
The people below felt very relieved to see that the empress had awakened and knew that she was going to find the emperor.
At this moment, it was still raining lightly outside the palace, and there was a damp smell in the air. Ji Xili came holding an oil-paper umbrella.
Because he was afraid of disturbing Sheng Zhiyu's handling of government affairs, Ji Xili did not let the guards guarding outside the palace make any noise when he came, so he carried the food box and entered the palace courtyard with an umbrella.
As she climbed the stone steps and was about to knock on the palace door, Ji Xili suddenly paused slightly in raising her hand. She heard Sheng Zhiyu's voice coming from inside the palace—
"Royal Grandma, I have my own discretion in this matter and it has nothing to do with Xili."
Hearing this, Ji Xili was slightly startled, then slowly put down his raised hand, and stood motionless outside the palace door, quietly listening to the people inside.
Not long after Sheng Zhiyu finished speaking, the Queen Mother's voice came again, and the Queen Mother's voice sounded much colder, "How is it irrelevant? You went to the desert like Beige for her. Do you think the Ai family doesn’t know anything about the land? Now that you have married her, the Ai family has nothing to say. After all, the Ai family also likes this child Xi Li, but why don’t the Ai family know? Xi Li has been with Qian since he was a child. Mo is so close, how could the Ai family not understand what she was thinking, but since she married you and became your queen, she must do her duty as a queen. If someone from the Ai family hadn't told her, You haven't slept with her yet, so the Ai family will always be kept in the dark!"
