Chapter 2124: Burning Down the House to Please My Wife1

The two maids looked at each other, thinking of the emperor's instructions before leaving, and both shook their heads.

Xia Weibao couldn't tell what he was feeling.

I didn’t want to see him, but I was a little disappointed when I heard that he hadn’t been here.

Feeling the coolness in the room, she was a little confused. It was already summer and the weather was a bit hot, so how could it feel cold.

His eyes fell on the cold cage in the middle, and he walked over curiously.

He reached out and touched it, "Is this an ice cube?"

"Yes, these are ice cubes to cool down."

"Where did it come from?"

Xia Weibao put his hand in and took out a small piece of ice. It was cool and comfortable to touch.

"Girl, you are a reward from the emperor."

Xia Weibao immediately pulled his face and threw the ice cubes back, "Who cares? I'm hungry. Let's eat."

Seeing her turn around and walk out, one of the palace ladies was a little worried, "Is the girl angry?"

"Probably not. I saw the girl seemed to be smiling. She didn't look like she was angry."

While the meal was being passed around, Xia Weibao sat in the courtyard and kept looking towards the entrance of Shelley Palace. The maids and eunuchs passing by looked at each other sideways and looked at each other in confusion.

Who is the girl waiting for?

I don’t know, are you waiting for the emperor?

No way, wasn't the emperor driven away by her today?

That's not clear...

Until someone came over and said that dinner was ready, no one came in at the door, and Xia Weibao's face darkened again.

He said that he would come to accompany her from now on, it was all a lie!

If you believe him again, he is a pig!

After waiting for a while, no one came. She went back to the house angrily, looking at a large table of delicious food, without any appetite.

Seeing that she refused to eat, the palace maid standing by was trembling with fear, fearing that the emperor would blame her.

"Girl, don't these dishes suit your appetite?"

"No, the food is very good, but I don't want to eat it."

"Girl, this is specially sent here by the Emperor. Would you like some?"

Xia Weibao raised his eyebrows, "Did he have someone send it here?"

"Yes, the emperor said that he was afraid that the food prepared in the small kitchen would not suit the girl's appetite, so he had it specially delivered. The small kitchen has been keeping it warm until the girl wakes up."

"Why doesn't he come over?"

Palace maid, "..."

"Maybe the emperor is busy..."

In fact, she wanted to say that she might be afraid of being chased away by you.

I would like to gently remind you that the emperor is the emperor after all. The imperial concubines can be willful occasionally, but they cannot be too arrogant. If the emperor is really annoyed, it will be miserable to be thrown into the cold palace.

Just looking at Xia Weibao's cold face, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Busy, busy, busy, what's there to be busy with? I keep saying I'm busy every day." Xia Weibao complained.

"Girl, the emperor is very busy on weekdays. All major national affairs must be handled by him. Memorials often pile up. Moreover, the emperor has been away from the palace for so long. Recently, the court..."

As if realizing that her words went too far, the palace maid quickly shut up and said, "Anyway, the emperor is very busy. Girl, you must also be considerate of the emperor."

Xia Weibao was stunned for a moment, "He is handling it all by himself? Aren't there ministers as well?"

She thought that being the emperor was the same as being the leader of the martial arts alliance. The leader of the martial arts alliance was quite idle. He would intervene in any fights, help with fights, etc. There didn't seem to be much to do.

I didn’t expect that being the emperor would be so tiring.

It seems that Lu Hualiang's statement that he didn't sleep all night last night is true.

"The minister is just an assistant and gives some advice, but all major matters must be handled by the emperor."

Xia Weibao was silent for a while, then picked up his chopsticks and ate quietly.
