Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 37
He dipped his pen in the ink, and said as he wrote, "Send someone to bring you a plate of sunflower seeds."

The word "sunflower seeds" made her knees tingle.The last time she knelt in the corridor all night, she hated this thing!

But no matter how much she hated him, she dared not go against him, so she went to the living room and asked Xun'er to find him.Xun'er went, and after a while brought a full bowl with a large crystal bowl: "It was given by Sister Lushao, who said that the prince is usually like this."

"En." She responded, and took the food case with the fruit plate away.There are also two plates overlapping on the food table, presumably they are used to hold the melon seed shells.

After entering the study, she put the melon seeds on the right side of the desk.Qin Yunyao glanced at his left hand: "Put it over here."

"Yes." She moved the thing to the left again.

Then he took the food case and wanted to go out, he said: "Let's put that thing there, you come and peel me the sunflower seeds."

"Huh?" She was surprised.

"Put down the food table, bring the stool here!" He raised his head and gave her a hard look.

Beside her was a small table with a tea set and a window opposite. It was obvious from a glance that he often drank tea here to enjoy the scenery.She put the food case on the table, took the stool next to her and walked over to her.

Pointing to the ground, he told her to put down the stool, and then said: "One plate for the shell, one plate for the meat, peel it slowly!" After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued writing.

She was speechless for a while, not knowing what he was doing.After looking at him suspiciously for a while, he still started peeling melon seeds according to his instructions.

One plate for shells, one plate for meat...

Peeling and peeling, he found that he stopped at some point, resting his hands on the armrest of the chair, propping his chin, and looking at her thoughtfully.

She stopped slowly, and asked in a nasty voice, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Go on," he said.

She had no choice but to continue, but she felt uncomfortable being watched by him.

Both plates were piled up with a small peak, he reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and put them into his mouth one by one.

She secretly slandered in her heart, it really is the prince's life, choking you to death!
He coughed suddenly, she was startled, looked up at him, thinking when did she have such ability?

He coughed twice and asked her, "Are you scolding me in your heart?"

"No." She hastily denied.

He snorted, but didn't speak, and continued to chew melon seeds, looking like he was enjoying himself.

She lowered her head and continued peeling, while he kept eating beside her.

She really didn't expect that a big man like him would have such childish hobbies!Isn't peeling melon seeds into a pile and eating them a game only for children?The eighth princess loved doing this the most when she was four or five years old.

"Do you usually peel melon seeds like this?" He asked suddenly.

"What?" She looked at him, not understanding what he was asking.

He looked at her childlike eyes full of doubts, and his eyes were gentle: "I ask you, have you ever peeled melon seeds like this before, peeling out a pile of shells, a pile of meat..."

She paused for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I have stripped the eighth princess before."

"It's because of her..." He sighed and nodded knowingly.

Before going out to hunt down Qin Yunhuang, he went to Longfu Palace and saw her sitting in the garden peeling melon seeds.He peeled a pile of shells and piles of meat and put them aside but didn’t eat them. He continued to peel them, with an almost satisfied smile on his face.

He really didn't understand what satisfaction there was in that.Sitting in a wheelchair, she had nothing to do all day long, but one day she thought of her happy appearance, so she asked someone to prepare a plate of melon seeds, followed her example, and peeled a pile of melon seeds and put them next to her.

However, apart from thinking about her more and more, I really didn't find anything satisfying and happy.He became ruthless and ate all the peeled melon seeds.

Melon seeds are really not what he likes, but whenever he thinks of her, he still asks someone to bring them.Either peel a bunch and eat it, or eat it while peeling it... In short, it's like falling in love with this snack, and I eat it at both ends for three days.After all, it wasn't all her fault.

Fortunately, she was only for that little girl Qin Yunrui!

After eating a few more, he asked, "Will anyone like to peel and play like this?"

have!That's her.

She glanced at him, and said slowly: "Probably there will be. When you are bored, peeling like this is a good way to pass the time. Sometimes, slowly peeling off a lot is quite fulfilling. Of course, peeling Too much trouble..."

"why?"

"It's too much to eat, it's a waste. If the person who peels it doesn't like it at all, and no one else comes to eat it, it should be punished by God!"

"Do you like to eat?" He asked lightly, very casually.

She froze for a moment, then looked at him: "I don't like eating."

it's OK?I don't like it either.

"Don't you prefer peeling melon seeds?"

She paused, feeling a little restless in her heart.Why should he guess her mind?Still guessed!

She likes peeling melon seeds like this!Because this matter is simple, peel the melon seeds and think about some of your own things, at most pile the shell and meat together, and you will not make any mistakes again!Therefore, she often peeled melon seeds like this, thinking about the freedom outside the palace walls, and recalling the time when she was with her mother when she was a child.

Sometimes I even think of him wearing a red dress and wading through the water, asking her, "Will you be my concubine?"

She burst into tears, and knocked the stack of melon seeds to the ground.

He froze for a moment, then his face sank: "What are you doing?"

Looking at him, she was startled at first, then wiped away her tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord asked me what these things are for? My concubine will be thinking wildly..."

"What are you thinking?" he asked, his heart pounding.

She suffocated, and said: "My lord is too gentle... People like me can only be confused..." She closed her eyes, tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, and there was a kind of sadness that was greater than death.In the end, are these words true or false, are they just to deceive him, or are they telling the truth?
she can't tell...

Can't tell...

When he was gentle, she was bewitched.

He looked at her for a long time, then wiped her tears with his hand, and said with a half-smile, "What's wrong with you being bewitched by me? After all, we are also husband and wife." If you are completely bewitched by me, I will be happy, No longer have to worry that you will help others to harm me.

Seeing him smile like this made her feel angry.He is like this, sometimes he seems gentle and affectionate, and sometimes he is silent and ruthless...

Looking at the melon seeds scattered everywhere, she thought that she was too impulsive just now, he shouldn't let herself pick them up one by one...

"Stay here and sleep tonight," he said.

She was startled, and pressed the shells of the peeled melon seeds and the unpeeled melon seeds to the ground.

He glanced at it: "This way, Eunuch Wang should spend less time chasing you and talking about everything."

It turns out that he is not...

Inexplicably, there was a trace of regret in her heart.

One is born, the second is cooked.

Ji Liangruo slept in Qin Yunyao's room for the second time, and no longer suffered from insomnia.There is a layer of cushions on the couch, I don't know what it is made of, it is one finger thick, it is not so uncomfortable to lie on it, but it doesn't feel hot, but there is a coolness coming from the vest.

He couldn't have added it for her!Most of them didn't leave after the lunch break...

Thinking that he had also been lying on it, her heart beat slightly faster.However, as he said, he has even entangled his lips and teeth, so why pretend to be innocent!She didn't think about that either, and closed her eyes to sleep on her own.Thinking about it is just cranky, what else can I get in return?
I just fell asleep, and heard a few "Liangruo, Liangruo" in my ears. It was quite gentle at first, but then I was a little annoyed.She opened her eyes in a daze, thinking that she was dreaming, and it was him, her heart was beating fast.

"Ji Liangruo!" came the roar.

She got up and looked in the direction of the bed: "My lord, did you call me?"
