Chapter 127 Lost to King Zhenbei with a Piece of Ginger
Xie Zhuo was pulled into Xie Xuanye's study by housekeeper Xie Dian.

Xie Xuanye was anxiously waiting for Xie Zhuo to report, but when he discovered that Xie Dian had also arrived, he looked at him strangely, "Uncle Dian, is there something wrong?"

Xie Dian stepped forward anxiously, "My lord, it's already dinner time, and His Highness hasn't returned home yet, did you quarrel with His Highness?"

Xie Xuanye: ...

Xie Xuanye had not thought about this at first, but after the old housekeeper said this, he remembered that he was separated from Qin Shuhuang when he entered the palace to see the emperor early this morning. Later, he heard the sound of objects being smashed in Funing Palace, and then Qin Shu Huang left Funing Hall angrily...

He wanted to accompany Qin Shuhuang quickly and protect her safety, so after leaving Funing Hall, he resumed his identity as Xuancang.

Qin Shuhuang didn't know that he was Xuan Cang, so he returned directly to the eldest princess' mansion after leaving the palace.

She thought that King Zhenbei returned to the palace after leaving Funing Hall, and ignored her, so she was angry and deliberately did not return to the palace?

Thinking of this, Xie Xuanye became a little panicked. He asked Xie Zhuo, who was standing next to Xie Dian, "What is your highness doing in the eldest princess's mansion?"

Xie Zhuo reported truthfully, "His Royal Highness is still looking at the account books in the study, and ordered no one to be disturbed. Miss Ruihe has already asked the small kitchen to cook dinner for His Highness."

Xie Xuanye: ...

It seemed that Qin Shuhuang was indeed angry. If she wanted to return to the palace, Ruihe would send someone to notify her at this time.

Seeing the gloomy eyes of the master, Xie Dian suggested in a low voice, "My lord, why don't you go next door and admit your mistake? Your Highness is not an unreasonable person, as long as you admit your mistake, His Highness will definitely forgive you."

Xie Zhuo tugged at the sleeve of the old butler, and said Xie Dian in a low voice, "Uncle Dian, what kind of bad idea did you come up with, the prince is also a man, he is the head of the family, don't lose face!"

Xie Dian glared at him, "What do you know, an unmarried young man! Shut up!"

Xie Zhuo suddenly said, "Oh! Uncle Dian, do you often apologize to your aunt at home!"

Xie Dian: ...

Xie Xuanye was panicked and worried. He finally had the opportunity to be with Qin Shuhuang in a fair and aboveboard way. How could he make Qin Shuhuang misunderstand her, let alone apologize, even if he went up the mountain of swords and went down into the sea of ​​fire, he would not back down.

Before Xie Zhuo and Xie Dian finished their quarrel, Xie Xuanye got up and hurried to the Princess's mansion.

Seeing that his prince was so anxious, Xie Dian laughed. He lit Xie Zhuo and lectured: "Look! My prince is more enlightened than you!"

Xie Zhuo was stunned, did he want to marry a wife and apologize to her every day when he got married?
Qin Shuhuang spent most of the afternoon, and finally finished accounting for all the accounting books for buying grain. Both Ye Xuan and the stewards sent out were very responsible, and there was no mistake between what was recorded in the account books and what she calculated.

She closed the account book, stretched and looked out the window.

Before she knew it, it was already dark outside, and she didn't even know when the lamps were lit in the room.

It turned out that it had been so long inadvertently.

She called out to Ruihe who was guarding outside.

Ruihe walked in quickly.

Qin Shuhuang asked, "What time is it?"

"Return to Your Highness, at two o'clock in the morning, it's time for you to eat."

Is it so late!
Qin Shuhuang got up from behind the desk, looked at Ruihe, saw that Ruihe hesitated to speak, and asked, "What's the matter? But something is wrong?"

Rui He said awkwardly: "Your Highness, the prince has been waiting for you outside for almost half an hour."

Qin Shuhuang was surprised, "Why don't you come in?"

"You have ordered before that no one is allowed to disturb you before you finish the calculation..."

Qin Shuhuang remembered that she had indeed said that before.

"Let's set the meal, I will go out and have a look."

Ruihe heaved a sigh of relief and backed out.

Xie Xuanye, who was waiting outside, was slightly startled when he saw Qin Shuhuang coming out. Qin Shuhuang walked over and looked at him with a pair of almond eyes, with a slight smile, "My lord, you have been waiting for a long time. Since you are here, just use it here." Let’s have dinner, the kitchen is ready.”

Xie Xuanye's original intention to ask Qin Shuhuang to return to the palace for dinner was immediately blocked.

He looked at Qin Shuhuang and saw that she had a smile on her face, and Xie Xuanye frowned slightly under Xie Xuanye's mask. For a moment, he didn't know whether Qin Shuhuang was really angry or just pretending temporarily.

In order to avoid offending her again, he nodded in agreement.

The two walked to the flower hall next to them.

In the flower hall, Shi Lan Shiyu and the maids are serving dishes.

After all the dishes were served, the big maids led the maids back out.

The cook in the princess's mansion's kitchen cooks very good dishes, more than half of which are in line with Xie Xuanye's taste.

He picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth absently.

Qin Shuhuang watched in amazement as Xie Xuanye "chewed" a piece of ginger as a condiment in his mouth, but "the expression didn't change".

Qin Shuhuang couldn't help asking, "My lord, do you like ginger?"

When Xie Xuanye heard Qin Shuhuang's question, he immediately came back to his senses, "Huh?", and the pungentness in his mouth rushed straight to his forehead, making him froze.

Qin Shuhuang remembered that her brother Can Wang hated eating ginger the most.

Xie Xuanye didn't want his embarrassed side to be seen by Qin Shuhuang.

Even though I hate ginger the most, I tried my best to control my sensory rejection at this moment and chewed up the whole piece of ginger and swallowed it.

After eating the ginger slices, Xie Xuanye felt that he was not well...

Qin Shuhuang on the side poured him a glass of warm water and put it in front of him, "Your Majesty, drink a glass of water and take your time."

In order to maintain his "tall" image, Xie Xuanye declined, "No, it's just a piece of ginger. I like to eat ginger."

The corners of Qin Shuhuang's mouth twitched, wondering why she hadn't noticed before that her brother Can Wang liked "showing off" so much.

"Then you should eat more." Qin Shuhuang said.

Xie Xuanye: ...

Xie Xuanye's hand holding the chopsticks froze.

He really didn't want to taste the taste just now.

Seeing that he was at a loss, Qin Shuhuang suddenly felt a little distressed when he heard that Chi Jiang's eyes were panicked.

Changing to serving chopsticks, Qin Shuhuang gave Xie Xuanye some of his favorite dishes and put them in front of him, "Your Majesty, eat something else."

Looking at the small bowl filled with various dishes in front of him, Xie Xuanye was a little flattered.

He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then secretly looked at Qin Shuhuang.

Qin Shuhuang didn't know what he was thinking, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't take a bite of the meal.

Xie Xuanye frowned, how could Qin Shuhuang eat like this? She has lost weight visibly in the past few days.

Thinking of what happened in Yuzhao Palace today, Xie Xuanye comforted Qin Shuhuang in a low voice, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. Miss Xue has already passed the primary election in today's general election, and almost half of the remaining people belong to Concubine Liu Gui. Now the regent princess is the most guarded." It should be Concubine Liu Gui, but Miss Xue is safe."

Hearing what he said, Qin Shuhuang raised his eyebrows.

Until now, neither Concubine Liu Gui nor the Princess Regent had discovered her true purpose, but Xie Xuanye revealed it at once.

Qin Shuhuang stared into Xie Xuanye's deep eyes, "The primary election has just ended. How did the prince know what happened in Yuzhao Palace?"
