System: [Host, is there something wrong with this Jing Cheng…] Suddenly, he remembered something and let out a scream, [Host, is he that guy?]
Looking at Tang Guo’s smiling gaze and remembering how she previously said Jing Cheng was particularly handsome when dancing with a sword.
The system understood everything.
No wonder the host was particularly happy after confirming that Jing Cheng had never done anything to betray her.
No wonder the host had specifically looked over the plot earlier. The Jing family was absolutely loyal to the Empress. Back then, the first thing Nan Yunchuan and the others wanted to eliminate was the Jing family.
Although the Empress was young, she was not muddled.
When she discovered certain conspiracies, she went along with the other party to strip Jing Cheng of his status as Imperial Consort and sent General Jing away to guard the border.
This was likely the last thing this young Empress could do. As for the later part of the plot, Jing Cheng joined the army and went to the battlefield. General Jing seemingly never gave up on seeking revenge for the Empress.
As for the plot further beyond that, there was none. Because those plot points no longer belonged to the female lead’s world. This small world ended with the death of the female lead. It was a tragedy.
“Imperial Consort, what do you like to eat?” Tang Guo put down her teacup and propped up her chin to question Jing Cheng.
Jing Cheng nearly knocked over his cup, but hurriedly said, “This subject is not picky.”
“Oh… so you like to eat everything?”
“Yes.” He truly was not picky. Anything edible, he could eat.
Because he practiced martial arts every day, his appetite was somewhat large.
“The Imperial Consort is truly an easy person to raise.” Tang Guo said with a smile, “Have I made a profit?”
Forgive Jing Cheng, but he truly could not remain calm. The Empress was really so strange.
When the midday meal was served, Jing Cheng was very reserved at first. Even if he particularly wanted to eat, he still held back. The Empress’s midday meal was indeed sumptuous, much better than his own.
It looked very inviting, and of course, it tasted very delicious.
“Imperial Consort, did you not say you were not picky? Why are you not eating?” Tang Guo questioned. She had secretly watched this guy eat before. Although his movements were elegant and his eating manner was good-looking.
However, he was definitely not the type to act reserved like this. His eating speed was not slow, and his appetite was very large.
Jing Cheng could not keep up the act any longer, “This subject’s appetite is somewhat large. I am afraid of offending Your Majesty if I finish it all.”
“It is no matter. You eat. I like watching you eat.”
Jing Cheng’s hand trembled, nearly smashing the bowl.
But he also believed that the Empress truly would not blame him for anything.
He tried to speed up a bit while observing the Empress’s expression. The other party indeed seemed very happy.
At first, he ate tentatively. Later, because the dishes were truly too delicious and suited his taste perfectly, combined with the fact that he had practiced martial arts all morning, he was indeed quite hungry.
In a short while, his true nature was revealed. Not only did he eat quickly, but he also looked particularly good doing it.
Tang Guo ate two bites and then just watched him eat.
The palace attendants by Jing Cheng’s side wanted to stop him with pale faces, but they were halted by Tang Guo’s gaze.
The palace attendant looked despairing. He was an old servant brought into the palace from Jing Cheng’s family.
Watching his own young master eat so unceremoniously in front of the Empress, he truly wanted to faint.
Young master, eat slower, eat less. Her Majesty the Empress is watching.
But Jing Cheng had gradually relaxed, as if the person sitting beside him was not the Empress, but an ordinary person.
He finished eating with satisfaction. Suddenly, he remembered something, and his whole body stiffened.
He glanced at the almost empty vegetable plates, then looked at the pale-faced palace attendant on the side. He could no longer smile.
