Chapter 299 Protect the country for her (18)

Author: Qi Yao

Nie Chi listened to her chirping voice in his ear and looked at the plates that were gradually being piled up in front of him, but he just smiled and said nothing.

It wasn't until Yuan Yao had picked up all the dishes for him that he moved the small plate in front of her and said, "Your Majesty, please eat. I can't eat so much."

Yuan Yao suddenly felt a little pity, but she couldn't force him, "Then you can eat whatever you want, no need to be polite to me!"

After saying that, she ignored him and started eating by herself.

Nie Chi picked up the chopsticks, but did not pick up the food immediately.

His eyes moved from those exquisite dishes to her slightly drooped slender eyelashes, her small nose, and finally landed on her bright red lips covered with a layer of water, and he paused slightly.

Yuan Yao was satisfied with the last meal, but he put down his chopsticks after only a few bites.

Yuan Yao picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, and asked doubtfully, "Uncle Huang eats so little. Is it because the food doesn't suit your appetite?"

Nie Chi picked up a cup of tea and took a sip before saying, "I'm not hungry."

Yuan Yao didn't believe it, "Uncle Huang worked so hard this afternoon, how can he not be hungry?"

After saying that, she ordered Xiao Shuanzi, "Go and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some dishes and send them over."

The little bolt hadn't moved yet, but Nie Chi sighed slightly.

He looked at Yuan Yao helplessly, but his eyes softened, "I'm really not hungry, Your Majesty, don't bother."

When Yuan Yao heard what he said, she stopped insisting and just muttered, "Well, if the emperor is hungry, he can go back to the palace to eat more."

Nie Chi laughed and shook his head.

His eyes fell on the few tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea, and then he changed the subject, "Your Majesty's tea is good."

Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously blurted out, "Uncle Huang likes it, so bring some tea back too!"

"."

Nie Chi looked at her with a smile and said nothing.

Only then did Yuan Yao realize that he seemed to be too attentive.

There was nothing she could do. Although she wanted to give the throne to him, she was still the emperor at the moment and always asked him to help her deal with matters that were within her scope. In fact, she felt a little guilty.

But Nie Chi didn't seem to need anything, so she didn't know how to reward him.

Yuan Yao racked his brains to think for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of something.

The best reward may be...

She picked up the tea cup, took a symbolic sip, and then asked casually, "How old is your uncle this year?"

Nie Chi glanced at her and said, "I'm twenty-three."

Hearing this, Yuan Yao touched his chin and said in a serious tone, "Uncle Huang is a bit old."

Nie Chi paused, slowly placed the tea cup on the table, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think you are too old?"

Yuan Yao shook her head, "How could I think that the emperor's uncle is old? I just think that the emperor's uncle has reached the marriageable age."

"Oh?" A smile appeared on Nie Chi's lips, "What does your Majesty mean?"

Yuan Yao coughed and then officially got to the point, "It's time for the emperor's uncle to marry the princess. If the emperor's uncle has a woman he likes, you can tell me and I can grant you a marriage."

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant.

Yuan Yao looked around strangely, shrank her shoulders, and murmured softly, "Why did the weather suddenly become colder?"

There was a faint smile on Nie Chi's lips, but his eyes were extremely cold, "Maybe it's because your Majesty did something wrong that you feel cold."
