After Bai Zhi’er came out with grapes from the Emperor’s pavilion, all the guests present were dumbfounded.

Even Prince Li Zheng couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

Could it be that the Emperor has taken a liking to this wild girl?

"Here, the Emperor gave this to you, have a taste."

Bai Zhi’er placed the plate on the table and invited Song Qingrui and Yuan Ruxin to eat.

Song Qingrui widened her eyes in surprise.

"Sister Jing, am I seeing things, did the Emperor really give this to you?"

Bai Zhi’er ate a grape and nodded: "Why would I lie to you? It’s really from the Emperor."

Song Qingrui picked up a grape as if she were holding an imperial edict, handling it carefully.

Bai Zhi’er laughed sweetly and crisply: "Are you going to eat it or not! If not, put it down."

"I’ll eat it! I just want to see if the fruit given by the Emperor is bigger and rounder than other grapes!"

Yuan Ruxin was puzzled: "Why on earth would the Emperor give you something?"

Bai Zhi’er casually found a reason: "Um, the Emperor said the incident with the White Jade Guanyin just now shouldn’t scare everyone."

"So, he specially sent a plate of grapes for me to share with you all."

Song Qingrui was shocked again: "The Emperor is actually so kind?"

Unexpectedly, the Emperor, who her father described as callous and moody, was so considerate.

Bai Zhi’er nodded earnestly and asked her: "Sweet or not?"

Song Qingrui smiled foolishly, feeling satisfied and happy: "Very sweet."

Yuan Ruxin hurriedly popped a grape into her mouth.

She tugged on Bai Zhi’er’s sleeve: "Ask me if it’s sweet too!"

Bai Zhi’er chuckled: "You’re even competing over this!"

Song Qingrui couldn’t help but ask again: "Sister Jing, what did the Emperor ask you?"

Bai Zhi’er said: "Nothing much."

She couldn’t reveal those words.

So, she just made up a few lines—

"The Emperor just asked, have you eaten? Drunk anything? Hungry? Are you accustomed to Great Qin?"

The boudoir girls eavesdropping around were all wide-eyed with astonishment, gasping.

The Emperor actually cared about an unknown woman like that?

Yuan Ruxin grew even more suspicious.

In Yan Country, the little emperor once cared for a girl this way, and then that girl became his concubine!

Yuan Ruxin began to worry.

She whispered: "Master, the Emperor didn’t take advantage of you, right?"

Bai Zhi’er after hearing this, lightly pinched her face.

"What are you talking about! The Emperor is so much older than me, how would he be disrespectful?"

Yuan Ruxin breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good."

In her eyes, unless a Heavenly God descended, no one was worthy of her master!

Song Qingrui held a few grapes and offered them to Song Qingying.

"Sister, would you like to try?"

Originally, she didn’t want to concern herself with Song Qingying.

But here they were, sharing the grapes with great enthusiasm.

Song Qingying sat over there, silent.

Song Qingrui, feeling soft-hearted, asked her a question.

Unexpectedly, just as Song Qingying reached out and said: "Alright."

Bai Zhi’er immediately took the grapes back.

She looked at Song Qingying: "Qingrui is generous and forgiving."

"For you to have the nerve to accept it is truly shameless! Where did your aggressiveness go just now?"

"Qingrui is forgetful and doesn’t hold grudges, but I remember. The grapes were given by the Emperor to comfort me and Qingrui, not you!"

Song Qingying’s face turned blue and white with anger.

And the boudoir girls around were all covering their mouths, hiding their smiles, just enjoying the drama!

If she doesn’t want to eat, then fine, does she think she’s special?

Song Qingrui was happily eating.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a sinister glance.

Why did she suddenly feel a chill on the back of her neck?

Song Qingrui turned her head to look.

Feng Fuce sat there as if he were in a deep, icy abyss.

Staring at their plate of grapes.

Song Qingrui’s action of eating slowly came to a halt.

She tugged on Bai Zhi’er’s clothes: "Um... Sister Jing, I think your sweetheart is getting jealous and misunderstanding."
