Ahem, please note that it is "one".
Lin Bao looked at the delicious home-cooked food in front of him, but he had no appetite at all. He picked up the rice with chopsticks, looking unhappy.
After observing for a long time, Lian Che put a piece of fried shredded pork with green pepper and put it in her bowl, and asked calmly: "What, it's not to your liking?"
Hearing this, Lin Bao put down his chopsticks, mustered up the courage to look up and said, "Actually, I think the food in the small courtyard is more delicious."
Unexpectedly, Lian Che seemed not to understand and replied calmly: "Then just ask Mr. An to bring some food from the small courtyard."
“…”
Lin Bao was furious, was he really stupid or pretending to be stupid? She had already talked about this, how could he still be so calm!
Moreover, there is no need to think about it now. He must have made the whole palace famous by "inviting" her to dinner in such a high-profile manner. It won't be long before she becomes famous throughout the whole country!
Emma, how can you sneak out of the palace to find a beautiful man
Lin Bao was about to cry, but he heard Lian Che say: "You have invited me to eat twice before, and now I am inviting you once. Why are you still unwilling? Could it be that the food is really unpalatable?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Bao understood.
It's a pity that she thought too much. The emperor just treated her to a big meal as a courtesy. She actually thought of him like this. She really judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
Seeing that Lian Che had already stood up, as if he was about to go out to call Eunuch An to prepare the food in the small courtyard, she was startled, got up quickly, and called him: "Hey, Lian Che—"
He paused for a moment, and when he turned his head, there was no trace of surprise on his face. He seemed to have expected it. He just said: "I will go and approve the memorial. If you have finished eating, then leave."
After that, he turned his head back and walked away.
Lin Bao looked at his back, feeling a little inexplicably embarrassed, so he had to sit down and eat with peace of mind.
Looking at the delicious home-cooked dishes in front of her, Lin Bao felt warm in her heart. Originally, she thought he would treat her to delicacies to show off his identity and status, but the fact was that he specially asked Eunuch An to invite people from outside the palace. The peasant woman came just to let her relive the feeling of home.
Chewing the fragrant rice, Lin Bao felt that his eyes were a little moist.
In the past, her mother would make meals like this for the family. At that time, she was thinking about KFC all day long, but now that she can't eat it, she feels regretful and regretful.
However, there is no regret medicine for sale in this world.
Lin Bao swallowed the food one by one, took a sip of tea, then got up and walked towards the entrance of the palace.
When she reached the door, she turned around suddenly and called out to Lian Che, who was still reviewing the memorial at the desk: "Lian Che—"
The man raised his eyes and looked at her.
"Thank you." She smiled the most ladylike and gentlest smile ever, which instantly dazzled him!
However, when he came to his senses, she was no longer in the palace.
Looking at the tightly closed palace door, her smile was still remembered in his mind. Lian Che shook his head, smiled helplessly, and continued to read the memorial with his head buried in his pen.
—Silly girl, you’re welcome.

After walking out of the main hall, Lin Bao didn't have the courage to go out from the main entrance. Anyway, over the palace wall was the small courtyard. I guess it was so late now, and Xiao Gezi and the others should have gone to bed. She probably wouldn't be discovered by then.
With a sense of luck, Lin Bao escaped the patrolling guards and climbed up the palace wall secretly.
