Chu Yuqin lowered her eyes and stared at the fish pieces in the bowl, feeling a little strange in her heart.

Although she and Tang Yinyu had only met twice, he took extra care of her each time. Could it be that he really... had a crush on her so quickly?

"Miss Chu, what's wrong?" Tang Yinyu noticed that Chu Yuqin was acting strangely and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing... nothing..." Chu Yuqin hurriedly covered up, picked up the piece of fish, took a bite, chewed slowly, with a peaceful smile on her face.

Tang Yinyu's eyes lit up as he looked at Chu Yuqin's sweet profile, an inexplicable impulse rising in his heart.

At this time, the palace maid brought up two more dishes, one was braised pork, and the other was soup with lotus prawns. They were still steaming and smelled very appetizing.

Tang Yinyu said again, "Come, Miss Chu, try it."

Chu Yuqin was already awakened by the aroma of the braised pork, and the delicious dish was too much to handle. So she picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. She immediately felt as if she was floating in the air.

She couldn't help but squint her eyes, looking like she was enjoying it.

"Miss Chu, what do you think of the taste of this meat?" Tang Yinyu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.

Chu Yuqin swallowed the delicious food in her mouth and gave a thumbs up, praising: "The braised pork is tender and smooth, and tastes delicious."

Tang Yinyu's lips curled slightly, "As long as you like it, then eat more."

As he spoke, Tang Yinyu also picked up the chopsticks.

Although Chu Yuqin was eating with gusto, she kept glancing at Tang Yinyu from the corner of her eyes. She saw that Tang Yinyu was eating slowly and leisurely, his movements were elegant and noble, and his every move demonstrated the royal majesty.

Chu Yuqin sighed: No wonder so many people admire the emperor, he is indeed worthy of being the current emperor, his every move and gesture exudes the demeanor of a king.

"What's wrong? Miss Chu, do you think I don't eat well enough?" Tang Yinyu noticed that Chu Yuqin was frequently stealing glances at him, and asked pretending to be stupid.

"Uh..." Chu Yuqin withdrew her gaze awkwardly and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant."

Hearing this, Tang Yinyu smiled faintly and continued to eat.

At this time, the palace maid brought two more glasses of wine. Tang Yinyu picked up a glass and handed it to Chu Yuqin, saying in a gentle voice: "Miss Chu, let's have a drink."

"Ah? Oh..." Chu Yuqin nodded slowly.

The two clinked their glasses and drank it all.

As soon as Chu Yuqin finished drinking, she felt a burning sensation in her throat, which made her cough.

"Cough cough..."

Tang Yinyu gently stroked her slender back and asked worriedly, "Miss Chu, are you okay?"

Chu Yuqin shook her head: "It's fine for a commoner."

As she spoke, she picked up the tea on the table and gulped it down, feeling a little better.

At this time, Tang Yinyu looked over with a deep gaze, and opened his thin lips slightly: "Miss Chu, why is your face so red?"

Chu Yuqin raised her hands to cover her burning face and murmured, "Maybe it's because I drank too quickly just now."

"I see. I thought you were drunk, haha..." Tang Yinyu nodded, not quite believing it. "If you feel unwell, remember to tell me."

"I know." Chu Yuqin pursed her rosy lips and answered shyly.

Tang Yinyu chuckled, his eyes falling on Chu Yuqin's rosy and delicate lips, and he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yuqin noticed Tang Yinyu's fiery gaze and her cheeks became hotter.

Tang Yinyu came back to his senses, ignoring the strange feeling in his heart. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his handsome face. He quickly looked away and pretended to be serious, "Miss Chu, don't be nervous. I just care about you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Yuqin nodded heavily, her clear almond eyes sparkling with crystal clear luster.

Seeing Tang Yinyu and Chu Yuqin chatting and laughing, the palace maids and eunuchs around them were extremely surprised.

You know, in this huge harem, the only one who could speak to the emperor over the years was the deceased queen.

The emperor has always been indifferent to other concubines.

Even towards the imperial concubine who gave birth to the princess, the emperor was always cold and indifferent.

But today, the emperor made an exception for Chu Yuqin.

Not only that, the emperor also specifically instructed the chef to cook according to Chu Yuqin's taste, which made everyone extremely curious about Chu Yuqin.

What is Chu Yuqin's identity?

Why does she deserve the emperor's special treatment?

"Miss Chu, I heard that you wrote a letter of divorce and divorced Xiao Chenyi not long ago?" Tang Yinyu suddenly mentioned Xiao Chenyi with obvious sarcasm in his tone.

Chu Yuqin put down her chopsticks, raised her head and stared at Tang Yinyu, and narrated calmly, "Yes, I have nothing to do with Xiao Chenyi anymore."

"Why? Wasn't Miss Chu very much in love with Xiao Chenyi back then? I remember that your father specifically asked the Queen Mother for your marriage to him." Tang Yinyu asked.

There was a hint of sourness in his tone that he himself was not aware of.

Chu Yuqin remained silent.

This matter is not complicated. Xiao Chenyi doesn't love her at all. There is no other meaning for her to stay with Xiao Chenyi except to torture herself.

"Why, Miss Chu, you still can't forget Xiao Chenyi? Or is it as he said, the so-called divorce letter, just a trick you use to get him and attract his attention?" Tang Yinyu's eyes became sharp, as if he wanted to penetrate Chu Yuqin's heart and spy on her inner secrets.

Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment, then met Tang Yinyu's gaze frankly and said slowly: "I did write the divorce letter because I hated Xiao Chenyi. It was definitely not a playful trick, and I didn't want to attract his attention."

"That's great." Tang Yinyu's expression finally softened a little.

"Has Xiao Chenyi ever come to trouble you?" Tang Yinyu asked with concern.

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin's face became serious: "No..."

"Do you need my help?" Tang Yinyu asked tentatively.

"Your Majesty, are you willing to help your servant?"

Tang Yinyu smiled cheerfully: "Of course I am willing, you are my savior. Miss Chu, if you need any help, you can come to me at any time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Yuqin thanked him sincerely, with a warm feeling in her heart.

She had never imagined that she would meet such a considerate, kind, gentle, and infinitely honorable king.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin felt that she was very lucky. At least God gave her this opportunity, and she would definitely try her best to seize it.

"Since Miss Chu has no objection, please enjoy your meal." Tang Yinyu smiled faintly and put a piece of pastry into Chu Yuqin's bowl.

"Yeah." Chu Yuqin nodded in agreement, quietly savoring the food, but ripples had already appeared in her heart.

After a while.

"Um..." Chu Yuqin said after careful consideration, "Your Majesty, I have already finished my meal. May I take my leave first?"
