Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Braised fish, four-joy meatballs, braised pork strips, deep-fried pork tenderloin, mutton siu mai, boiled chicken...

Four cold dishes and eight hot dishes, four plates of dried fruits, four plates of pastries, plus a soup cooked with mountain products.

One by one, the delicious dishes improved by Chen Xi were brought to the table by Grandpa Chen and Xiao Luo.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Xiao Luo was shocked: "Miss, what day is today!"

After working in the kitchen for a long day, Chen Xi's clothes were soaked with sweat. He fetched some water and went upstairs to wash them. He changed into dry clothes before coming down.

Chen Xi: "I'll go and ask Yao Jun to come over for dinner."

After saying hello to Grandpa and Xiao Luo, Chen Xi walked out of the yard and headed towards the main house.

At this moment, Jia Luo appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile: "Miss Xi, are you going to ask the master to come for dinner?"

As the sun sets, the sky is filled with red clouds, and Chen Xi's body is dyed red, as if she were wearing a red wedding dress.

"Well, he's over there in the main house, right?"

Jia Luo nodded and said, "Young Master Mu Zhao came over just now, but he didn't go in to disturb you because he saw you were busy."

"But before he left, he instructed that after you prepare the food, you should take it to the main house to eat, but Xiao Luo should not go."

Chen Xi looked at him puzzledly: "Why can't Xiaoluo go?"

Jia Luo: "The whole city knows that you and the master were attacked. Now the king and the queen are talking to the master in the main house."

"Normally it's fine, but in this situation, it's not appropriate for Xiao Luo to sit at the table, so if she goes, she'll just stand. It's better to stay in the courtyard, where she'll be more comfortable."

Jialuo had considered everything very carefully and spoke tactfully, using the word "inappropriate" instead of contemptuously pointing out that she was just a maid.

There is a saying that goes, when beating a dog, look at its owner. Given the relationship between Xiao Luo and Chen Xi, they will definitely serve their master together.

If the mother relies on her son's status and brings up old matters in the future, it will be troublesome.

So after Jialuo confirmed it, even the maidservant beside Chen Xi began to be careful about her behavior.

When Chen Xi heard that the king and the queen were coming, she didn't want to go over. She hated eating the most because there were so many messy rules and she had to pay attention to dining etiquette. It was too tiring.

After thinking about it briefly, Chen Xi stopped moving forward, turned around and walked back, saying, "I won't go. Ask someone to bring the dishes to the main house."

not going?

Thinking of Yao Muzhao's instructions, Jialuo hurriedly chased after him: "Miss Xi, please come with me."

Chen Xi: "No, go and ask someone to serve the food. The food will get cold and won't taste good."

Jialuo wanted to persuade her again.

Chen Xi raised his hand to interrupt, "Stop talking."

Seeing that Chen Xi had made up her mind, Jia Luo knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she stopped and watched her walk into the courtyard.

In the living room of the main house, Yao Jun and Chen Muzhe sat at the top, sipping the fragrant tea in their cups, and no one spoke.

Queen Meng was chatting with Yao Muzhao about random things, as she was afraid of making the conversation awkward.

Because Yao Jun had been furious before, the attendants were all very cautious at this time.

Chen Muzhe and his wife saw all of this, but what they didn't know was that Yao Jun was angry because he was bullied by Chen Xi. He thought it was because of the attack.

Chen Muzhe put down the tea in his hand, shook his head and sighed, looked at Yao Jun and said apologetically: "Fortunately, my dear brother is fine, otherwise I would be to blame."

Yao Jun actually doesn't like socializing, but being in this position, some things are unavoidable.

"You don't have to do this, brother."

Putting down the fragrant tea, Yao Jun turned his head and said sincerely: "The affairs of the Hundred Clans are the core of this cooperation. Fortunately, I encountered them when I went hunting in the mountains today."

"Otherwise, if we let them come out of the mountains, and they are so close to the capital, who knows what kind of events will happen."

Chen Muzhe didn't know how much sincerity there was in Yao Jun's words, but what he said was indeed correct, and it was what he was most worried about.

"I wonder if you can tell which of the hundreds of tribes attacked you today?"

"How did they cross the mountains and passes?"

Yao Jun slowly placed the fragrant tea on the table, turned his head and looked outside the door, and said in a light tone: "Brother, this is a bit difficult for me. How can I know how they appeared in the mountains less than 20 miles away from the capital."

Chen Muzhe's eyes flickered, and he said, "Brother, that's not what I meant. I just want to know, don't you have a few tongues left to ask?"

Yao Jun blinked his eyes, then looked regretful: "Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. The situation was urgent and I didn't have time to grab the tongue."

Then he looked at Chen Muzhe seriously and said, "Brother, you don't know that the enemy that attacked this time is the White Tiger Clan, which is well-known among the hundreds of clans, and there are thousands of them."

"We don't know exactly how many people there are because we are in the mountains, but there should be at least more than 2,000. We don't know if there are more in the dark."

"Moreover, the White Tiger Clan's warriors are fierce and brave. Whether they are men or women, they can go to the battlefield as long as they pick up weapons."

At this point, Yao Jun patted his thigh and sighed, "The situation is critical, and with my lame leg, I'm lucky to be able to return to the city safely. How could I even think of catching a tongue?"

"Brother, I'm sorry, I really don't know how the White Tiger Clan overcame so many difficulties and got close to the capital."

When Chen Muzhe heard that it was the Baihu clan, even though he was the ruler of a country, his expression changed.

Seeing this, Yao Jun sneered in his heart and continued to make up for it: "Why not wait until next time and ask them in person? There will always be a chance."

There is always a chance! ?

Chen Muzhe's expression changed. If he couldn't figure out how Baihu got here, there would indeed be opportunities in the future, but he didn't want this opportunity!

Having ruled Chen State for decades, Chen Muzhe's skills are self-evident. If he really wanted to investigate, he would definitely find clues.

But this is just the beginning. Once he has found out the truth, it will be time to make a decision. This will also speed up the discussions on tripartite cooperation matters.

For Yao Jun, this step is enough. There is nothing for him to do next. He just needs to watch the show.

Thinking of the wonderful thing, Yao Jun smiled: "Mu Zhao, you just said Xiao Xi is preparing dinner, go and see how it's going."

Looking at Queen Meng, he continued, "The food Xiaoxi cooked is really delicious. You must try it later. When I return to Yao Country in a few days, it will be difficult to eat it again."

When talking about Chen Xi and food, Yao Jun's tone changed, and even his little movements were more frequent than usual.

Queen Meng is an experienced person, and she and Chen Muzhe were in a free love relationship at the beginning. How could she not see that Yao Jun is now deeply in love and cannot extricate himself?

He was secretly shocked in his heart. Chen Xi from this branch looked thin and small, but he didn't expect that his methods were so powerful!

Only a few days have passed, and this world-famous man has become so obsessed with her!

Queen Meng smiled and said, "You have to taste it carefully. The previous blind date only had a few green vegetables, but they were so delicious. I wonder what kind of delicious food there will be today."

Yao Jun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It must be a delicacy that will make people want to linger on for a long time!"

"Brother and Queen, please don't be reluctant when the time comes!"

"I've even prepared the betrothal gifts!"

Chen Muzhe looked at him strangely. How could the world-famous Gongzijun become like this?

Could it be...

Chen Muzhe looked at his wife and saw Queen Meng winking at him and moving her fingers slightly.

This is a little interest between the couple, and also a tacit understanding.

Chen Muzhe understood instantly, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes when he looked at Yao Jun again.

I never thought that the cold-blooded and ruthless Gongzijun would one day fall in love with a woman.

This Chen Xi is really amazing!
