He really wanted to keep a woman like this by his side forever, chatting and laughing with her during the day and sleeping in each other's arms at night.

Chu Xuanchi collected his thoughts and said, "Okay, I won't tease you. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't say hello first."

Mo Zhaohua looked at him blankly, "Brother Xuanchi went out of his way just to give Zhaozhao a surprise?"

"If that's all, does Zhaozhao like it?" Chu Xuanchi remembered that Chu Xuanhan had been here before, so he wanted to come and take a look.

He hadn't been able to participate in her past ten years, but he wanted to slowly integrate into her current life while there was still a chance.

Even if she is really Chu Xuanhan's person, he will make her his own. If soft methods don't work, he can still use hard methods.

Mo Zhaohua's mind moved slightly, and he felt happy that someone cared about him. A smile appeared on his face, "I like it..."

Chu Xuanchi followed with a smile, "I'm glad you like it. Before I left, I was worried that the surprise would turn into a shock."

Mo Zhaohua's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, "Of course not, then Brother Xuan Chi, would you like to stay for lunch?"

"Okay." Chu Xuanchi came over in the morning on purpose because he wanted to have dinner with her and see what she liked.

Mo Zhaohua had dined in Prince Yu's Mansion several times, so he had some understanding of Chu Xuanchi's preferences.

She told Amber a few of his favorite dishes, and left the rest up to Amber.

As a result, when Amber and her maid came to serve the meal at noon, there was a steamed fish on the table.

Mo Zhaohua regretted so much that she actually forgot to tell Amber not to catch the fish because Chu Xuanchi didn't seem to like it.

She had so many meals at the Prince Yu's Mansion, but only the first time there was fish on the table. She regretted that she had learned how to cook fish in vain.

Mo Zhaohua's side was doing the same as usual, with Amber serving the dishes, while Yueying and Zhenzhu could take the opportunity to eat.

Chu Xuanchi was being served by Wuying, while Fengying and Yueying went to the servants' room to eat. The two familiar faces were chatting and laughing.

Those who practice martial arts are not particular about trivial matters, and rules like "don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping" have no binding force on them.

During the meal, Chu Xuanchi noticed that Amber picked up some fish for Mo Zhaohua, and she ate it with relish.

He seemed to have discovered something incredible, "Zhao Zhao, can you eat fish?"

Mo Zhaohua swallowed the food in his mouth, smiled and nodded, "Yes, Zhao Zhao really likes it."

Chu Xuanchi was puzzled, "Then why didn't Zhao Zhao taste it when he first went to Prince Yu's Mansion?"

He even suspected that she was intentionally hiding her preferences to prevent others from making a fuss about it.

Mo Zhaohua looked embarrassed, "It's quite embarrassing to say it, because Zhao Zhao doesn't know how to spit."

Can’t spit out fish bones?

Chu Xuanchi was surprised by the answer.

Then he thought of another question, "Does Yueying not know about this?"

Mo Zhaohua replied in a low voice, "She has only been here for a short time and is not in charge of the meals, so she probably doesn't know."

Chu Xuanchi sneered, "So that's the case. I thought Zhao Zhao didn't like it, so I stopped letting the fish appear in front of you."

"What?" Mo Zhaohua's eyes widened slightly, "So Brother Xuan Chi didn't do that because I don't like him?"

Chu Xuanchi picked up the fish meat that Wuying had just dipped in the soup from the plate and said, "Fish meat is delicious. This king always likes it."

Mo Zhaohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It was Zhao Zhao's fault. It caused Brother Xuan Chi to misunderstand, and Zhao Zhao also mistakenly thought that you didn't like it."

Chu Xuanchi couldn't help but joked, "It seems that next time you come to my house, Zhao Zhao will have to ask Yueying to pick out fish bones for you."

Mo Zhaohua's face suddenly turned red, and he said in a muffled voice, "How embarrassing! Is Zhao Zhao really useless?"

Chu Xuanchi wanted to tease her when he saw her blushing, but he couldn't bear to do so. "How could that be? Zhao Zhao is so cute like this."

***

The main house of Yixiayuan is divided into two rooms, east and west. The middle one is the main hall, but Zhenzhu and the others usually call it the outer room.

The east room consists of a main room and a side room. The former is used as a study and the latter is used as a bedroom, and the two are separated by a treasure pavilion in the middle.

The west room is smaller and is the embroidery room. There is a chaise longue by the window, separated by a screen, for Mo Zhaohua to rest.

After lunch, Mo Zhaohua would usually return to the east room, read for a while in the study in the main room to digest his food, and then go to the side room to take a rest.

Chu Xuanchi was here today, so Mo Zhaohua wanted to keep him company, so he stayed in the main hall to chat with him, but he ended up yawning all the time.

As the saying goes, people feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn and take naps in summer. The weather is hot in summer, and Mo Zhaohua is used to taking a nap at noon, so he wants to sleep when the time comes.

"Zhao Zhao, are you sleepy? It's time for a nap, right?" Chu Xuanchi wanted to stay and spend more time with her, but he couldn't bear to see her getting more sleepy.

"It's okay, I'm not very sleepy..." Mo Zhaohua denied it verbally, but his body was honest and he yawned again.

Although she covered her eyes with a handkerchief, the tears in her eyes betrayed her and she quickly wiped them clean.

Seeing her tears welling up in her eyes, Chu Xuanchi took the initiative to say goodbye, "Zhao Zhao, if you are tired, go and rest. It's time for me to return home."

Mo Zhaohua only hated himself for not being able to get over the sleepiness, "I'm sorry, Brother Xuanchi, I'm really used to it..."

Chu Xuanchi smiled with a hint of doting without realizing it, "It doesn't matter, after the wedding, I will accompany Zhao Zhao."

Wuying was shocked when he heard this.

My master, will you accompany the princess for lunch break?

Is this really something a master who never takes a nap would say?

But seeing the doting look in his master's eyes, it was something he could do.

Hearing about the wedding, Mo Zhaohua was a little impatient, but he lowered his eyes in time to hide his thoughts, "Okay..."

Chu Xuanchi was contented and prepared to leave, "Go back to your room, and let Yueying escort me out of the house."

Mo Zhaohua insisted on sending him off, but he refused again and again. It was noon and the sun was scorching, so how could he bear to let her go out?

Finally, she was left in Yixiayuan for a rest, and then she realized that he probably had something to say to Yueying.

As soon as Chu Xuanchi left the hospital, he reminded Yueying, "Zhao Zhao won't spit out fish bones. Remember to pick them out for her when you return home."

"Ah?" Yueying didn't expect such a thing to happen. She was stunned for a moment before she responded respectfully, "Yes, Master!"

"Has Zhao Zhao's tea always been so bad? Didn't the palace give her any reward?" Chu Xuanchi had heard that Empress Dowager Yuande doted on her very much.

Yueying responded quickly, "Probably not. The Empress Dowager and Consort De usually rewarded people with things like cloth and headdresses."

Chu Xuanchi immediately ordered, "Wuying, have someone send some new tea over, as well as jade, jewelry, cloth, and so on."

The master was finally willing to take action. Wuying couldn't help but feel happy. He responded with a relaxed and happy tone, "Yes, master."

"By the way, prepare a generous gift for her mother." Chu Xuanchi could still think of Rong Qing because he had a good impression of her.

Wuying agreed, and without hearing any more instructions, he took the initiative to ask, "Does Madam Mo need any gifts?"

Chu Xuanchi sneered, "A person who dares to call me a waste, is she worthy of me giving her a gift?"

Yueying did not complain intentionally at the beginning, but was reporting normally. How could she dare to hide the fact that she had offended her master?

When Wuying mentioned this, he instantly became angry. "Master, please forgive me. It was all because of my lack of consideration."

If he could kill people at will, he would have twisted the old woman's head off and thrown it to Fengying to kick around like a ball.
