Lin Qingqing suppressed her excitement and followed Mo Xiao into the house.

She looked at the food on the table and said awkwardly, "I don't know what Your Majesty likes, so I asked the kitchen to make some. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, I'll have someone prepare it again."

Mo Xiao took a quick glance and said casually, "It's OK, no need to bother."

Anyway, the real purpose of his coming this time was not to eat, so it didn’t matter whether the food on the table was delicious or not.

Lin Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully waited for Mo Xiao to take his seat. She took the chopsticks and stood aside, ready to serve Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Just let the people below come. You can go and sit down."

Lin Qingqing was immediately flattered. She looked at Mo Xiao with some surprise, then slowly went to sit down opposite him.

Mo Xiao was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something. He glanced at the person next to him, and that person immediately brought up the tea prepared by Lin Jiuqing.

The eunuch said, "This is something that Concubine Chen specially prepared for Concubine Xian. I hope Concubine Xian will like it."

Lin Qingqing was stunned, and then when she saw the tea leaves, an expression on her face became indescribably strange.

After a moment of silence, she collected the tea leaves and said softly, "Thank Concubine Chen for me."

The eunuch smiled, stood up and walked away.

Mo Xiao placed the food box in front of Lin Qingqing. He wanted to say that this was also prepared by the Concubine Chen, but when he thought of Lin Jiuqing's instructions, he changed his mind and said, "This is the cake I like to eat on weekdays. I brought it specially for you to try. I hope you like it too."

When Lin Qingqing heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. She didn't even remember the priceless tea that Lin Jiuqing had given her. She directly reached out to take the food box.

"Is this something your majesty prepared specially for me?" Lin Qingqing held the food box and looked at Mo Xiao eagerly. "And, your majesty also prepared your favorite food?"

Mo Xiao felt a little uncomfortable with this look, so he turned his head away and hummed softly.

Lin Qingqing could hardly hold back the smile on her face, and asked expectantly, "Can I open it now?"

Mo Xiao waved his hand: "Whatever you want."

So, Lin Qingqing excitedly opened the food box that Mo Xiao brought. Then, the moment she saw the contents of the food box, her smile froze on her face.

She was very familiar with this pastry.

When she went to Lanyin Palace before, Lin Jiuqing treated her with this cake and said that it was what His Majesty liked to eat. She ate a piece, and the sour taste seemed to still linger on her lips and teeth, leaving her with a particularly deep impression.

Now when she saw the pastry again, in just a moment, she felt her lips and teeth secreting streams of saliva, and her nerves had already sensed the sour and unforgettable taste before her.

She stood there stiffly, not saying anything for a long time.

Mo Xiao looked at her strangely: "Why, you don't like it?"

Lin Qingqing was awakened, and then she pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, stammering: "How, how could I not like it? This was given to me by His Majesty himself, I like it very much."

Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Then why don't you try it?"

Lin Qingqing: "..."

Lin Qingqing took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to pick up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth… Then, her face wrinkled uncontrollably and her eyes narrowed, but she held on and tried to remain calm.
