Picked up a queen at the start

Chapter 7 As an emperor, I have never been so embarrassed.

As a generation of emperors, his stomach growled from hunger.

Xia Yao felt that she had never been so embarrassed.

"Well, I heard nothing. It's only human, and there's nothing to be ashamed of."

After muttering a few words with a smile, Ji Qinglin continued: "Try it, if you don't like this taste, there are other flavors."

"..."

Seeing Ji Qinglin change the subject, Xia Yao bit her lip lightly, and looked at the instant noodles in the bowl again.

To be honest, the appearance of this instant noodle is really not good-looking, it is completely inferior to her usual food.

But this taste is really attractive...

In order to prevent her stomach from disappointing again, Xia Yao closed her eyes and put the wrapped instant noodles into her mouth nervously.

Within a second, she opened her phoenix eyes in disbelief.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Seeing her reaction, Ji Qinglin chuckled.

After a brief silence, Xia Yao nodded seriously: "En, it's delicious."

"Eat more if it's delicious."

Xia Yao said seriously: "I don't like to waste people's money, and I don't like extravagance and waste. Will you waste too much money?"

"No." Waving his hands, Ji Qinglin said calmly: "I can't afford to eat big fish and meat all day long, but I can still get this instant noodles."

"If it's not enough, there's still a box in the kitchen, I'll make it for you."

Seeing the faint smile on Ji Qinglin's face, Xia Yao's eyelashes trembled.

With her eyes half closed, she lowered her head and muffled for a moment, then whispered: "Thank you, this is my first time eating from the common people, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

"??"

Looking at Xia Yao with some surprise, Ji Qinglin directly ignored the second half of Xia Yao's sentence, focusing on the first two words she said.

"I didn't hear clearly just now, can you say it again?"

"...I will pay you back."

"It's not this sentence, it's the first two words."

"...I won't say what I said a second time."

Turning her head away with a blushing face, Xia Yao began to quietly eat her instant noodles.

Seeing that this woman is still dating him arrogantly, Ji Qinglin shook his head and sighed deliberately: "Hey, it's a pity that I am such a good person, I have been busy for so long, and I can't even say thank you."

Xia Yao: "..."

Ji Qinglin: "I don't know if it makes sense for me to do this."

Xia Yao: "..."

Ji Qinglin: "You said, if you encounter this kind of thing, you will continue to help..."

"Thank you!"

Seeing that Ji Qinglin was about to continue reading, Xia Yao gritted her teeth and shouted out these two words directly.

Putting aside the words that came to his lips, Ji Qinglin nodded in satisfaction: "You're welcome."

"...You, you are very shameless."

The phoenix eyes stared, Xia Yao's pretty face became more and more rosy.

"Is there?" Putting his chin on his hand, Ji Qinglin said with a smile: "Shameless people don't care about your food and drink."

"If you think I'm shameless, put down the instant noodles."

Facing Ji Qinglin's threat, Xia Yao's body trembled, and she looked down at the instant noodles in her hand.

After a while, she silently turned her back.

"I take these two words back for now, you... just pretend you haven't heard of them."

After Xia Yao finished eating two bowls of instant noodles, their dinner was finally over.

Seeing Xia Yao sitting quietly on the sofa without hiccupping at all, Ji Qinglin couldn't help feeling that this woman doesn't look big, but she has a lot of appetite.

Asking Xia Yao to sit quietly, Ji Qinglin cleaned up the second bedroom next to his bedroom, and then brought her into the bedroom.

"From today onwards, you will sleep here."

Looking at the crude bed in the second bedroom, Xia Yao pointed to the bed in the master bedroom next to her, and said, "Why can't I sleep there?"

"That's my room." Ji Qinglin raised his eyebrows and joked, "I don't mind if you want to sleep with me."

"No need."

With pink cheeks, Xia Yao quickly walked into the second bedroom and began to look at the things in the second bedroom.

After Ji Qinglin cleaned up, there was nothing left in the bedroom this time.

There is only a bed, a bedside table, a hanger, and a few cardboard boxes.

Rubbing the cardboard box with her fingers, Xia Yao wondered, "What is this?"

"Cartons are used to put things in."

As Ji Qinglin said, he changed the bedroom lights into warm lights.

The cool light becomes soft.

The light shone on Xia Yao's body, making her originally clear back seem to be dyed with a layer of warmth.

Leaning against the door frame, Ji Qinglin finally asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"You are already an emperor, why don't you accept a few men?"

Thinking about the Wu Zetian I knew in the previous life, the male favorites were one after another.

Not to mention Wu Zetian, even some princesses, male favorites have to count to two digits.

It is really rare for Xia Yao to be an emperor who has been alone all the time, has no man, and has not even left an heir.

"Why do you want to accept it?" Xia Yao asked with her back to Ji Qinglin.

A layer of frost was cast on the delicate face that was covered under the light.

"Take it, let them fight like their mother and queen, and fight to the death for the rest of their lives?"

Clenching her fair little hands tightly, Xia Yao said in a cold voice, "I'm tired of seeing that, I just want to let Daqi go to glory, and let Daqi's people be healthy."

"What about the heir?" Ji Qinglin shook his head, puzzled and said, "Haven't you ever thought of leaving an heir?"

"Of course I thought about it."

Looking back at Ji Qinglin, Xia Yao said with sad eyes: "I also thought about it, after consolidating Daqi, I can find my sweetheart, stay together for a lifetime, and give birth to a pair of children."

"But, I haven't consolidated Daqi yet..."

Speaking of this, Xia Yao's voice stopped abruptly.

Taking a deep breath unwillingly, she turned her back again.

Silently watching Xia Yao's back, Ji Qinglin shook his head regretfully.

If Xia Yao hadn't fallen into the lake, she would have become a good emperor, a good wife, and a good mother.

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Scratching his hair, Ji Qinglin looked at the time and said, "You wait at home, I'll go out and do some shopping."

"Will you be gone for a long time?"

"Soon, I'll buy you a suitable pair of slippers first."

As Ji Qinglin said, he pointed to the pair of over 40 size slippers on Xia Yao's feet.

In just that moment, Xia Yao almost tripped twice.

It's really not a problem to wear slippers that don't fit your feet all the time.

Otherwise, I won't be able to wash after taking a shower.

"Stay at home obediently, and don't go anywhere when I come back."

Before going out, Ji Qinglin reminded Xia Yao again.

Seeing Ji Qinglin leave, Xia Yao stood there for a moment, then glanced at the open window in the living room.

……

Looking for slippers of the same size in the supermarket, Ji Qinglin hurried home, fearing that Xia Yao couldn't hold back for a while and slipped out of the house.

As a result, as soon as he turned a corner and came to the alley where the shop was located, he saw Aunt Wang from the shop next door standing at the door of his shop, looking up upstairs.

"what's the situation?"

Muttering uncomfortably, Ji Qinglin quickly came to Aunt Wang's side: "Aunt Wang, what are you doing?"

"Xiao Ji..."

Looking back at Ji Qinglin, Aunt Wang put on her reading glasses again, with a worried look on her slightly wrinkled face.

"I saw the window of your house just now. It seems that someone jumped out of the window all of a sudden."
