Chapter 1303 The silly woman

“Yes.” The man in grey responded with a smile in his eyes. The country ruler and the crown prince had never had a meal together. He must have been looking forward to it.

“Your Majesty.”

Feng Jiu was led by Xuanyuan Mo Ze to enter the place. She released her hand and gave him a salute.

“Imperial Father.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze called out with an indifferent tone.

“I asked her to come. What are you doing here! Are you afraid I’m going to eat her?” The country ruler snorted coldly. He glanced at Xuanyuan Mo Ze and then told Feng Jiu, “What are you still standing for? Sit down!”

“Ah?” Feng Jiu was still listening to him scolding Xuanyuan Mo Ze. She was caught off guard and was startled.

“What ‘ah’? I told you to sit down and eat with me!”

As soon as she heard his reply, her eyes lit up. She stared at the table full of delicious food, smiled happily, and sat down with Xuanyuan Mo Ze. “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Xuanyuan Mo Ze glanced at the prepared two pairs of chopsticks without speaking.

“Eat! Go back to where you came from after you’re done eating, so you don’t have to be a nuisance here every day!” The country ruler pulled a long face. He was tired of watching them. Finished speaking, he took the chopsticks and ate what the palace servant had put in front of him.

Feng Jiu’s eyes flashed. She looked at him then at Xuanyuan Mo Ze again. Without saying anything, she stood up, put some food on the plate and brought them to the country ruler. “Please tell me what you want to eat and I’ll get it for you.”

“Mm.” The country ruler responded and paid no attention to them.

“Please try this.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze took out some food and put it on Feng Jiu’s bowl. “Eat while it’s hot.”

“Well, I ate this yesterday. It’s delicious. Try this, too.” She took it and put it in his bowl.

In the main seat, although the country ruler was eating, he was paying attention to the two people from the corner of his eyes. He watched them help each other take some food from time to time. Their words were not many, but the trust and warmth that permeated the two people made his eyes feverish.

He slightly lowered his eyes and took a sip of the tea to mask the abnormality on his face.

However, at this time, after Xuanyuan Mo Ze passed a bowl of soup to Feng Jiu, she motioned toward the country ruler who was drinking tea. Xuanyuan Mo Ze pursed his lips. His eyes were slightly heavy. He made no movement after a long time.

Seeing the woman beside him pull his sleeve and gestured at him from time to time, he ladled a bowl again and then put it in front of the country ruler. His voice was cold and stiff. “Don’t drink tea while having a meal. Take the soup.”

The country ruler was stunned. He looked up at him and saw that he had already eaten some food. If it was not for a bowl of hot soup in front of him, he would even think it was an illusion.

Feng Jiu smiled at the country ruler. She said nothing more and continued to eat.

However, the country ruler put down his teacup and picked up the bowl of hot soup after his surprise. He felt his heart was tingling, sour and acrid. Something seemed stuck on his throat and he could not speak.

At the time of a meal, the atmosphere of the table was unusually quiet, with only Feng Jiu’s smiling voice enquiring about something. Xuanyuan Mo Ze responded briefly and the country ruler on the main seat peeked at them from time to time. It took them an hour to finish the meal.

After the country ruler stood up and left without saying a word, Feng Jiu put away her chopsticks, touched her round tummy and smiled happily. “I’m so full.”

Xuanyuan Mo Ze smiled and scolded her. “Silly woman.”
