Sheng Sheng and Rui ran away for a long time and didn't come back until dark. There were a lot of people waiting at the dinner table, but no chopsticks were used yet. No one spoke.
Sheng Sheng walked in and took the hot towel handed over by Xiao Tao to wipe his hands.
Then take your seat.
Rui also wiped his hands and sat down. A smile appeared on his lips as he watched Shengsheng munching away. He picked up his chopsticks and gave Shengsheng a piece of roast duck. Everyone watched Rui move his chopsticks before others dared to move them.
Concubine Fang Shu: "Your Majesty, please try this dish. This is roasted eggplant. It tastes good."
Rui ignored her. He picked out a piece of boiled fish, removed the skin and put it into Shengsheng's bowl.
Ruan Fangyi thought Rui was eating it himself and took off the fish bones and skin. Halfway through the chopsticks holding the fish, she realized that Rui was holding the fish for Sheng Sheng. She awkwardly put the fish meat into Rui's bowl, but Rui still ignored it.
Seeing that Rui didn't want to eat it, Sheng Sheng picked up a piece of shrimp.
"Open your mouth." He said domineeringly
Rui opened his mouth. Shengsheng stuffed the shrimp inside.
Everyone was stunned. Their mysophobic emperor could actually eat with the same pair of chopsticks as others????
"Stop picking up food for me all the time. It's not like I don't know how to eat. Hurry up and eat by yourself. Only when you're full can you have the strength." Sheng Sheng said. His voice was not loud enough for everyone to hear.
Rui approached Shengsheng: "My dear concubine, what do you want others to misunderstand by saying this??"
Sheng Sheng: "Get out of here." He slapped Kai Rui, "Didn't you say you were going to get me a model stand later? How can I move it if I don't have the strength?"
Everyone was ashamed. Sister Queen, you dared to slap the emperor away and talk to the emperor like this.
Rui: "Okay. I'll eat. Then you also need to eat enough. Otherwise, you really won't have the strength or energy."
Of course Sheng Sheng knew that Rui didn't mean the same thing to her, so she blushed, stamped her feet, and gritted her teeth.
"I, eat!!!" Looking at Shengsheng's expression, Rui couldn't help but smile.
Then when he looked up, he saw the Queen Mother and some concubines staring at him: "Why don't you eat??" After a pause, he thought of something and said no more, picked up the bowl and started eating.
"My Emperor, do we still have the heart to eat like this?" All the concubines said secretly.
