The anticipation in the bottom of Di Ronghua’s eyes faded by a few points, “Oh.”
She pulled her lips, “Don’t worry, I will do what a qualified fiancée should do, you don’t have to worry about me turning against you on the brink, for the sake of our acquaintance even if I do change my mind, I will wait for you to get everything you want first.”
The throne, power.
When he sits on the world, she retires from the world if by then, he hasn’t remembered her nor fallen in love with her.
Di Ronghua turned around and exited his embrace, walking towards the outside of the courtyard, her gently curling voice coming against the wind, “What are we going to eat tonight?”
The embrace was steeply empty for a split second, and was somewhat depressed by the cold winter wind.
Xiao Hanjin narrowed her eyes and looked at the fox that jumped into her arms, her eyes sunk slightly, “The new Western Liang cook in the mansion, does what you like.”
“Is that so?”
Her voice tinted with a few hints of joy, “Then I’ll have the oil-consuming pork loin tomorrow, as well as sweet and sour fish.”
Xiao Hanjin stepped away with his long legs to follow her figure, watching her take her seat, and before moving her chopsticks, he didn’t forget to feed a piece of meat to the fox in her arms, Xiao Hanjin’s eyes sank imperceptibly, “The oyster sauce tenderloin made from even better pork is not as good as the one made from the fox meat.”
Di Ronghua chopsticks a shiver, “……ha?”
Little Fox, “………”
Xiao Hanjin hooked his lips, his complexion as usual, “Don’t you want to eat it, try it made of fox meat?”
Emperor Ronghua’s mouth twitched and said with an odd expression, “Xiao Hanjin, I think you used to look at my fox not too well, now you don’t remember how it is still like this are you born with any opinions about foxes?”
Xiao Hanjin lowered his eyes and swept his eyes, right into the little fox’s pitiful expression, “There is no opinion.”He faintly said, “You don’t want to eat this one that you raised, re-let someone catch it is.”
The little fox, “………”
It was not comforted.
Di Ronghua violently shook her head, “…… Don’t want it, I’ll just eat sweet and sour fish.”
Xiao Hanjin watched as she silently chewed what was in her mouth, small bites, her movements elegant and delicate.
Once upon a time in Western Liang, many people had said that the way she used her meal was a full-fledged lady of the house, completely at odds with her usual impolite appearance, but she seldom lost her temper nowadays, like a thoroughly honourable and elegant princess after her metamorphosis.
“Listening to the underlings in the mansion,” the man lowly opened his mouth, “you plan to go out shopping tomorrow?”
“Yes, why?”She slowly picked at the fish spines with her chopsticks, focussed and careful, not revealing a few hints of anticipation, as if it was simply a casual and polite question, “Do you want to come along?”
“I’m busy tomorrow.”
After a pause, “I have time tonight, so I can accompany you.”
Di Ronghua raised her eyes and glanced at him, “No need, I can go by myself tomorrow.”
“You buy a bunch of things every time you go shopping, can you take it alone?”
Di Ronghua frowned, “Can’t I just find a guard to follow?”
Xiao Hanjin’s face truly sank, “So why don’t you go tonight?”
Is this man looking for a fight?
Di Ronghua was simply baffled, “I’ve been tired all day and it’s a cold winter month, why must I go out shopping at night?”
Because in that not-so-long period of time in the past, every time she went out of the palace to go shopping, she was bound to drag him along.
At that time, why didn’t she say that it was fine to just find a random guard to follow?
