"It stirred a little bit in the water and was brought out!" Not a question, but an affirmation.

Duanmu Yan was surprised: "How did you know?"

Gong Shengrui sneered, picked up the plate of vegetables and stuffed it into Duanmu Yan's mouth.

"Uuu ~" Duanmu Yan puffed her cheeks, not understanding what she meant by blinking her eyes.

"I'll swallow it!"

Duanmu Yan nodded in shock. She chewed for a while and swallowed it into her stomach.

"Did you not notice?"

Duanmu Yan shook her head, and replied with an irrelevant answer: "The taste is not bad!"

"Is that so?" Gong Shengrui gave a noncommittal cold laugh, picked up another piece of vegetables and sent it into Duanmu Yan's mouth.

Duanmu Yan chewed a few times, then swallowed it back into her stomach. She looked at Gong Shengrui suspiciously: Why are you feeding us?

Seeing her unperturbed face, eating with relish, Gong Shengrui decided to keep quiet.

Could it be that he ate the only grain of sand in the dish?

Gong Shengrui found it hard to believe, he picked up another piece of vegetables, placed it into his mouth and chewed on it. His expression immediately darkened to the point that it could be compared to Guan Gong.

He opened his mouth and spat out the dish.

"Wasting food is shameful!" Duanmu Yan said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Gong Shengrui almost gasped for breath.

"I likes to eat vegetables when she sees you, so I'll give you this plate!" Gong Shengrui personally made a move and placed a vegetable plate in front of Duanmu Yan: "Eat all of it!"

Duanmu Yan tilted her head, and thought for a moment, then blinked his hazy large eyes: "If we eat everything, you will have to forgive us, and can't let our anger go again, and more importantly, you can't let the civilian population who was harmed not listen!"

"..." "Alright!"

Hearing that, Duanmu Yan immediately revealed a sweet smile, holding onto her chopsticks, she quickly finished the whole plate of vegetables.

"…" Gong Shengrui's face turned dark again. Could it be that she really could not sense the existence of the 'foreign object'?

"This Emperor has finished eating. You have to keep your word!" Duanmu Yan showed off like she was showing off, holding onto the clean and bright plate, she waved it in front of Gong Shengrui.

Gong Shengrui was silent for a long while, and finally answered with a tone that was neither light nor heavy.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't really get angry with her. He only wanted to use this opportunity to scare her, and use it to restrain her lawless personality. He didn't expect that in the end, he would make a fool of himself.

He had not only seen the dishes she had cooked herself, but had also eaten the dishes she had washed herself; however, there was one problem that was worth thinking about. He had not only seen the dishes she had cooked herself, but had also eaten the dishes she had washed herself.

With this thought, Gong Shengrui decisively stood up.

"You haven't finished eating. Where are you going?" Duanmu Yan stood up immediately and followed his footsteps.

"Review the imperial reports!"

"We still have to eat first …"

"I'm not hungry!" Gong Shengrui cut off her words and walked out of Qianle Palace. Before he left, he looked at the wet nurse.

The wet nurse understood and rushed into the Qianle Palace to take care of Yuxuan.

Duanmu Yan frowned slightly as she watched Gong Shengrui's back as she left, then looked at the table which had almost no chopsticks or chopsticks. After thinking for a bit, she decided to stay behind to eat before going to find him.

Because...

Wasting food is shameful.

Outside the imperial study.

Duanmu Yan peeked her head out and looked at Gong Shengrui who was seated in front of the table and reading the imperial reports.

Although Gong Shengrui did not raise his head, from the sound of his footsteps, it was not hard to tell who he was.

Duanmu Yan walked over to the desk, placed the plate on the table, and slowly pushed it in front of Gong Shengrui: "... You haven't had lunch! "

Gong Shengrui raised his eyebrows and slowly lifted his eyelids.

"This pastry was not made by us!" Duanmu Yan stated in a serious tone.

After eating her fill in Qianle Palace, she finally realized that the reason why he didn't eat was very likely because he loathed the food she washed and cooked. Thus, she went to the imperial kitchens with great self-awareness and brought over a plate of pastries.

Gong Shengrui's gaze fell onto the osmanthus cake on his plate. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a piece and placed it in his mouth.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's not bad!"

Hearing that, Duanmu Yan's face instantly revealed a sweet smile: "We will go pour you another cup of tea!"

"..." "Hm!"

Duanmu Yan disappeared from the imperial study room like a wisp of smoke. Not long later, she returned with a pot of tea and two cups.

He placed it on the table and personally poured it for Gong Shengrui.

Gong Shengrui received it, and didn't rush to drink the tea. He examined it, and his gaze landed on her small, flattering face: "Are you that afraid that I will get angry?"

Duanmu Yan nodded heavily.

"Afraid of becoming a sinner through the ages?"

Duanmu Yan was startled, she shook her head, her eyes turning red.

"I don't want them to die. I don't want their children. Without parents …" Duanmu Yan's voice became softer and softer, and in the end, was almost completely silent.

Gong Shengrui's heart trembled slightly. He originally thought that the reason she was begging him was only for face and responsibility, but who would have thought that it was because she had experienced the pain of losing his family members that she didn't want her to repeat the same mistake again …

In the end, her thoughts were simple.

"Don't worry!" The I will definitely not let their family be destroyed! "

"Really?"

"En!"

Receiving Gong Shengrui's confirmation, Duanmu Yan immediately smiled through her tears.

She picked up a piece of cake and gave it to Gong Shengrui.

"Eat, eat more. Only after you have eaten your fill will you have the strength to think of a better solution!"

Gong Shengrui looked at the pastry in her hand for a moment, but did not accept it. Instead, he said in a low voice: "If you don't speak, breaking I's train of thought, for I, is more useful than eating anything!"

"…" Duanmu Yan was silent for a moment.

She timidly withdrew the tip of her finger and put the pastries back on the plate.

Retreat, retreat, retreat again … Only when his body touched the wall did he stop, as though he had thought about it before. He stood there straight, and looked innocently at Gong Shengrui.

Gong Shengrui shook his head, not bothering with her, he lowered his eyes and continued to review the imperial reports.

Half an hour later …

Just when he thought that her patience had run out and she was about to leave, she unexpectedly came up behind him and gently placed her delicate fists on his back.

Gong Shengrui raised his eyebrows.

Duanmu Yan innocently blinked her eyes, the meaning was clear, we did not speak, we were only giving you a massage on your back.

Gong Shengrui was silent for a moment, ignoring her, retracting his gaze, and continued to read.

Outside the imperial study.

Chen Xi who was waiting on the left and right, and did not see her master come out, looked at the Imperial Study with a face full of worry, but upon looking, her eyes almost popped out.

The Emperor who had lived like a prince ever since he was a child, how could he let others beat him to the back?

And that person, was actually the Prince Regent that she had 'never forgotten'?

Who could tell her what was going on?

Could it be that a red rain had fallen from the sky?

Otherwise, why would the Emperor try to please him?

Duanmu Yan, who was completely unaware of the movements in her master's maid's heart, calmly danced with her fist on his shoulder, giving him a massage to support him …
