Ye Xiaozhou was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "The prince is joking."

Jing Min suddenly fell silent, his eyes dimmed.

"My lord, my concubine," Han Xiuping was afraid that the two of them would have a quarrel if they disagreed, so he hurriedly said, "It's time for lunch."

Jing Min threw the tea cup he snatched from Ye Xiaozhou on the table, and then said to Ye Xiaozhou unhurriedly: "You go to my king's house for dinner today."

Ye Xiaozhou didn't look very happy: "Thank you, my lord, but I use it in my own room very well."

"There is only one meal in the kitchen today. If my concubine doesn't want to come, she can go hungry." Jing Min threw him a word, and then sat back on the wheelchair that Han Xiuping pushed up for him.

Ye Xiaozhou was dragged here early in the morning, chatting with the officials and family members, and only had a sip of tea up to now. This lunch will definitely fail, so he subconsciously followed behind Jing Min.

"My lord is so unreasonable," Ye Xiaozhou muttered from behind, "There is no shortage of my lunch in Prince Ning's mansion."

Han Xiuping was afraid that his lord would answer some harsh words, so he jumped ahead of him and said, "I don't know, my lord wants to invite you to have a meal together. After all, they are husband and wife. Now that my lord is pregnant again, is it right?" It should be too raw."

However, Prince Ning rarely responded to his words, but silently opened the folding fan, and then shook it casually.

"My lord, why are you doing this?" Ye Xiaozhou just felt that Jing Min was becoming more and more difficult to see through. Love without a reason, but forced me to drink tonic soup, gave me an embroidered handkerchief, invited me to have a meal together... so capricious, does the prince think it is fun to play with people?"

"Ye Xiaozhou," Jing Min's throat suddenly rolled, "Don't push your nose on your face."

Han Xiuping didn't expect to suppress this, and that would make trouble again, so he immediately said good things for King Ning: "Princess, what happened in the past was the prince's mistake, and now he is trying to make up for you, and he is also learning to love... ..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Jing Min firmly holding down the armrest of the wheelchair, and scolded: "Shut up!"

"Is the lord really willing to admit that he was wrong?" Ye Xiaozhou refused to give up, and continued to question, "Then why didn't the lord dare to look me in the eyes and apologize to me?"

Jing Min took a deep breath, trying not to get angry with him, after all, seeing Ye Xiaozhou's complexion looked better with great difficulty, he was not willing to say anything serious to him for a moment.

"Today I just invite you to have a meal with me, so there is no need to say anything else."

Ye Xiaozhou sneered: "The prince still dare not admit it."

"Yes," Jing Min put away the fan in his hand, and said suddenly, "I just dare not admit it, is Aifei satisfied?"

Ye Xiaozhou didn't expect that Prince Ning, who always felt that the world was turbid and he was alone, would answer this way. He thought he would still be the same as before, arrogantly thinking that he had nothing wrong with him, and everyone in the world except him was guilty.

So Ye Xiaozhou didn't react for a while.

"Is it finished? If it is finished, I will go back to have lunch with the king."

Ye Xiaozhou didn't force King Ning to ask what he wanted to hear, but he had no hope of it, so he still followed Han Xiuping and Jing Min step by step.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, Ye Xiaozhou suddenly asked, "My lord, has the letter I wrote to my father been mailed?"

"I just annoyed this king with my rude words, and now I am asking this king to do things for you without blushing, what's the reason?"

Ye Xiaozhou was still questioning him domineeringly just now, but now thinking that his father's life is still in his hands, his tone softened unconsciously: "Your Majesty made an oath, he will not break his promise and become fat." .”

Jing Min looked at the Qingshi Road in front of him with a half-smile: "Naturally, but this king has never promised you, when will the letter be sent, and when will the person be seen."

"You..." Ye Xiaozhou suppressed the anger in his heart, and gave in gently, "I just said something wrong, the prince is magnanimous, and I think he won't take it to heart."

Jing Min slightly bent the corners of his eyes in front of him, and then said: "This letter was not deliberately withheld by the king, but the emperor has been keeping a close eye on the palace recently, and this letter will not be delivered until late at night."

Ye Xiaozhou nodded, and then thought that Jing Min didn't have eyes on the back of his head, so he added: "Yes."

It wasn't until the two of them entered King Ning's dormitory that the people in the kitchen began to serve the food. It was inevitable that the food was cold. They had prepared hot water in advance. Before the two returned, the food was placed on top of the hot water to keep warm of.

In the past, Ye Xiaozhou felt that the food on this table was better than that of the Ye Mansion in the past. Unexpectedly, the food today seems to be more abundant. After all, it is the Prince of the Huangzong. Yes, those are things that other people can't buy with money alone.

According to the rules, Ning Wanghe should be sitting opposite Ye Xiaozhou, but he moved to Ye Xiaozhou's side, and the two of them didn't say a word during the meal, only Jing Min would occasionally put something in Ye Xiaozhou's bowl. The dish happened to be his favorite dish, so he couldn't refuse it.

Ye Xiaozhou was quite familiar with this scene. When he was still in the Ye Mansion, he was still the young master of the Ye family, and Jing Min was still his personal bodyguard. When he was eating, he closed the door tightly, and Jing Min would do the same for him. He picks up vegetables.

The difference is that at that time he didn't even want to sit by himself, he insisted on sitting on Jing Min's lap, pestering him to feed him food before giving up.

He acted like a child, and Jing Min was happy to treat him like a child at that time.

Although now I know that Jing Min didn't have any real affection for him at that time, it was all pretended love and warmth, but now that he suddenly recalls it, Ye Xiaozhou's heart still hurts.

He still can't figure it out, can such a passionate love be staged?

Ye Xiaozhou was preoccupied, and without paying attention, he shook the meatballs that he scooped out into the soup bowl at hand, and the splashed juice stained Ye Xiaozhou's chin and collar.

King Ning had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he couldn't hold back his joy when he saw that this splash was so in line with his wishes.

"The corner of your mouth is dirty," Jing Min said calmly, "Wipe it with a handkerchief."

Ye Xiaozhou hastily pulled out a silk handkerchief from behind his belt, and before he could make a move, Jing Min snatched the handkerchief from his hand, and said: "Let me do it."

After finishing speaking, he gently wiped Ye Xiaozhou's soiled chin and collar, and then he asked casually, "Why don't you use the one my king gave you yesterday?"

His warm breath is like a warm feather, brushing Ye Xiaozhou's chin and the corners of his lips from time to time, Ye Xiaozhou avoids his approaching gaze: "The gift from the prince is so precious, I dare not take it out and use it casually. Put it away first."

"Why don't you dare to use it?" Jing Min's voice was still calm, but his tone was uncompromising, "If it is damaged or dirty, at worst, I will embroider another one and send it to you."

Ye Xiaozhou: "..."

Han Xiuping who poked aside pretending to be a piece of wood: "..." How embarrassing, my lord, are you really reluctant to use it?

At the same time, Butler Wu's voice suddenly came from outside.

"My lord, the palace sent someone to invite the concubine to come, saying that the empress dowager wants to meet this daughter-in-law and have a good talk with the concubine."

Ye Xiaozhou wanted to stand up, but was pulled back to his seat by King Ning: "Sit down first, don't worry, leave after eating."

After finishing speaking, he said to the housekeeper Wu outside: "First invite the father-in-law outside to come in for a cup of tea, and ask him to wait for a while, and say that my princess is still eating."

"Yes." Butler Wu replied.

"What did the Empress Dowager suddenly ask me to enter the palace for?" Ye Xiaozhou glanced at Jing Min nervously, but saw that there was no surprise on his face, obviously he had already figured it out in his heart, "Your Highness already knew?"

Jing Min put down the jade bag in his hand, and then said: "After retiring from the court today, the emperor deliberately left the king for a private talk. My concubine, guess what it is for?"

Ye Xiaozhou bit his lip, and said angrily, "How would I know? If I could have guessed it, I wouldn't have misunderstood people in the first place, making you dizzy because of deception."

"Forget it," Jing Min inexplicably smiled, "If you don't want to guess, then don't guess."

"I guess that old lady will chat with you first, and then send people to our inner courtyard. If you decline, don't really bring people back. You'll pretend to be ignorant anyway, and she won't let you go." I can't do anything to you."

Even if Jing Min said so, Ye Xiaozhou still has no appetite.

Although the current empress dowager is only the queen mother in name of King Ning, she is his mother-in-law after all. Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have mostly been diametrically opposed to each other. The one who is both old and powerful, this time only passed on to him.

Especially after he learned that the emperor was going to kill King Ning, he was even more nervous than the first time he entered the palace to face the saint.
