That male attendant saw Tang Guo acknowledge him and felt a surge of joy in his heart. He was just about to ask Tang Guo if she wanted to go sit at his place, as he had previously heard that Her Majesty liked flower tea and intended to show off his skill.
In the end, Tang Guo spoke one step ahead of him, “Since I have encountered the Imperial Consort here, then you accompany me for a stroll.”
Tang Guo raised her hand, signaling for Jing Cheng to support her. Jing Cheng suppressed the bewilderment in his heart and obediently walked to her side, raising his hand.
Subsequently, a warm little hand rested on his arm. At the moment it touched, there was a very strange feeling.
His eyes stared at that beautiful, jade-like little hand. In an instant, there was an impulse to grasp it.
Of course, it was only an impulse for a split second. He hurriedly suppressed the thoughts he should not have and continued to walk forward, eyes straight ahead, supporting Tang Guo.
The male attendant who was ignored had a stiff smile on his face, and the gaze he directed at Jing Cheng was extremely vicious.
Jing Cheng seemed to sense something and could not help but look back once, but the other party hung his head and had already retracted his gaze.
However, based on his intuition as a martial artist, the other party’s gaze toward him was like a knife, very unkind.
“Why is the Imperial Consort looking at those small fry? Do you truly think he can do anything to you?” Tang Guo spoke at this time. The words she said made Jing Cheng very terrified.
What did Her Majesty the Empress mean by these words?
No matter how it sounded, there was a feeling of her protecting him. This must be an illusion.
He could not help but use his peripheral vision to glance at Tang Guo and found that the other party was looking at him with a smiling gaze. He hurriedly retracted his look.
Something is not right. The Empress becomes particularly unusual as soon as she is in front of him.
The Empress can smile, there is no problem with that. A person will always have times when they are happy and will smile. But the Empress’s smile has always been very slight.
Yet in front of him, she smiles so brilliantly that he cannot help but think more deeply.
So, Her Majesty the Empress, what exactly is her meaning?
“Your Majesty, the Imperial Garden is coming to an end.”
Seeing that they were about to walk out of the scope of the Imperial Garden and neither of them had spoken during the interval, Jing Cheng had to provide a reminder.
If they continued walking, they would reach other places.
“Is that so.” Tang Guo returned to her senses. Catching sight of Jing Cheng’s face full of puzzled expressions, her heart felt pleasant. “It is time for the midday meal.”
Jing Cheng’s heart relaxed. Yes, Her Majesty the Empress, go back to your palace quickly for the midday meal. Strolling and such is not fun at all.
“Today, I shall have the meal at the Imperial Consort’s palace.” Tang Guo did not give Jing Cheng a chance and directly gave the order.
Soon, her words would reach the Imperial Kitchen, and all the meals would be sent to the Imperial Consort’s palace.
Jing Cheng: “…”
“Imperial Consort, let us go. The sun is also a bit strong, and I am also a bit thirsty and want to drink water.” Tang Guo said this while looking at Jing Cheng. Jing Cheng hardened his heart and nodded, supporting Tang Guo to his palace.
Once at the palace, he hurriedly ordered people to brew tea for Tang Guo, remembering he heard her say she liked flower tea earlier.
He was a practitioner of martial arts and could hear sounds from very far away.
When giving the order, he subconsciously said, “Brew some fresh flower tea for Her Majesty.”
After speaking, he saw Tang Guo looking at him with a pair of satisfied eyes. He thought that would be it, but Tang Guo also spoke.
“It is still the Imperial Consort who understands my preferences.”
Jing Cheng wanted to say, no, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, this is just something I accidentally heard just now.
“In this harem, it turns out only Jing Cheng understands that what I like is flower tea.” Tang Guo did not give Jing Cheng a chance to explain. When the flower tea was brought up, she partook with a face full of satisfaction.
Jing Cheng: What should I do if I’m misunderstood by Her Majesty?
