Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 153

Yan Chujing's approach did not attract Chi Xinian's attention. Her gaze had already passed over the layers of green leaves and landed on the lotus root pink figure in the distance.

"That seems to be Lin Jieyu!" Chi Xinian stood on tiptoe and looked in that direction.

"From such a distance, can you recognize the person clearly?" Following her gaze, Yan Chujing, who only caught a glimpse of color, suppressed the corner of his mouth and sneered.

It seems that they don't agree with that person's identity.

"It must be Lin Jieyu!" Chi Xinian always went his own way, and when he recognized the person clearly, he dragged Yan Chujing to that direction, "It's almost happened, let's go over and say hello to him."

"You..." Yan Chujing didn't have time to resist, and she was dragging him over.

Seeing that spot of lotus root pink gradually turning into a beautiful woman, he suddenly felt uncomfortable: "Others want to monopolize the emperor's favor, and the concubine next to him dragged the emperor away as soon as they saw him. Let people get close to..."

Why doesn't she have any intention of fighting with others?

"They're all sisters, so there's nothing to argue about." Chi Xinian bent his lips and said with a smile, "Besides, not every girl who enters the palace is looking forward to being favored. For them, they can live their lives in peace. Go on and give the family a little help once in a while, that's enough."

"Oh? The queen thinks so too?" Yan Chujing was a little displeased when he heard the words.

Doesn't it mean that he doesn't care about him if he doesn't expect to be favored?
Asked coolly by Yan Chujing, Chi Xinian also realized that what she had said was too much, but she had no choice but to make up for it with a dry laugh: "I am different, I have already obtained His Majesty's favor, so naturally there is no need to argue."

"Oh..." Yan Chujing dragged out his voice, and squinted at her several times.

Her words were not very credible, but they did relieve him a lot.

Anyway, she still took him to heart.

While Yan Chujing's thoughts were racing, Chi Xinian had already pulled him to Lin Jieyu.

From the corner of the eye, Lin Jieyu caught sight of the two people who suddenly appeared from the cobblestone path, and Lin Jieyu hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty! Empress Empress!"

"Get up." Yan Chujing raised his hand in mid-air to support him, and greeted Lin Jieyu.

Then, he turned to look at the basket at her feet and asked, "What are you doing? Collecting lotus leaves?"

"Yes." Lin Jieyu nodded slightly, "Zhou Guiren and Chen Meiren had just recovered from serious illness, and wanted to come out to get some air, so my concubine and sister Qing took them to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers. When I got near here, my concubine suddenly remembered Qinghe Garden has a lot of lotus leaves, so I let them rest for a while, and then came here to collect lotus leaves."

Probably because she knew that Yan Chujing and the others wanted to ask her why she picked lotus leaves, she simply explained directly: "Lotus leaves can be used to make porridge. Sister Zhou and the others have just recovered. They are still a little weak. Drinking lotus leaf porridge can nourish the body."

"I see." Chi Xinian nodded knowingly.

"I wonder if Your Majesty and the Empress are interested in lotus leaf porridge? If so, you can go back with my concubine." After solving their confusion, Lin Jieyu invited them politely.

It seems unreasonable to keep silent and invite people.

But she secretly looked at Yan Chujing with a bit of embarrassment, as if she didn't really want to have lunch with him.

"No need." Yan Chujing glanced at her lightly, taking the emotions she was trying to hide into his eyes, "I just had lunch with the empress, and I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourselves."
