Lu Chao walked slowly, followed by Ji Xiao, and followed him all the way to the side hall, where a huge long table came into view.

The old eunuch opened the middle seat, Lu Chao threw the folding fan in his arms and sat down.

Then he looked at Ji Xiao, who was beside him with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "You, sit next to the widow."

Ji Xiao bowed his head, and opened his mouth with a habitual evasion: "How dare a servant sit at the table with His Majesty."

"The widow doesn't like being restrained by others. You can either eat on your knees, or sit next to the widow." After speaking, Lu Chao picked up the wine glass and poured it into his belly like a glass of strong wine, "Choose one."

At this time, Yu Li Jixiao should continue to say goodbye, and then chose to eat on his knees, but he was really not that servile, so he naturally chose to sit beside the emperor.

"You're welcome." Lu Chao stared at him and smiled, his dark pupils seemed to reflect a strange purple color: "Why do I think that your evasion just now is just an act?"

"..." Ji Xiao was speechless for a moment, then stood up again and said, "Your Majesty also said that he doesn't like slaves being restrained. He wants people to sit down, but he doesn't want slaves to sit down too easily. Your Majesty is so unreasonable."

The little eunuch who was serving the meal immediately reprimanded loudly: "Bold Wei Shiliu, how dare you talk to the Holy Majesty like this!"

Lu Chao glanced at him indifferently, and asked the old eunuch: "Is Eunuch Rong old? Such an old and dim-sighted servant can serve in front of the imperial court?"

The little eunuch immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, this slave is just..."

"It's the old slave who didn't think carefully," said the old eunuch, "The previous one contracted a wind disease, so he took a rest today and replaced him. Don't blame your majesty, there won't be a next time."

As soon as he raised his hand, the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground was dragged out.

Seeing that Ji Xiao was still standing, Lu Chao patted him on the back lightly: "Sit down, I will say later that the widow is bullying you, you can eat whatever you like, don't be restrained."

Ji Xiao's eyes are glistening with hunger lately, this mortal body knows hot and cold after all, of course it's not as good as his fairy body that can fasten the grains before, and the meals used by the palace people are not too bad, but they are not bad either. and power entered into his mouth.

After Lu Chao opened his mouth, Ji Xiao didn't intend to be polite to him, so he picked up the jade chopsticks on the table and began to eat.

The boy was just growing up, and his appetite was astonishing. When eating, his head was almost buried in the bowl.

Lu Chao sat on the side, staring at him with interest.If Ji Xiao couldn't catch anything, the emperor would kindly do it for him.

The palace servants who were serving at the side all bowed their heads in silence, wondering what kind of moody madness Lu Chao had gone into, and wanted to serve an eunuch for dinner.

Ji Xiao naturally stuffed the vegetables that Lu Chao had picked up into his mouth, without seeming flattered at all.

"Haven't you eaten since entering the palace?" Lu Chao smiled teasingly.

Ji Xiao was busy eating and had no time to pay attention to him.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chao filled another bowl of herbal chicken soup and placed it in front of Ji Xiao. He looked down and saw that there were still a lot of angelica, red dates and wolfberries in it.

When the bowl was put down, Ji Xiao burped softly: "Your servant is rude.

Lu Chao: "It's okay, let's have another bowl of soup."

Ji Xiao stared at the soup, picked it up, and couldn't stand the smell.

He drank chicken soup, but he would never touch the three ingredients in it, whether it was in the past or now.

But the emperor was unreasonable, so he couldn't directly refuse.

Ji Xiao looked up at Lu Chao again, and found that the dog emperor was looking at him with a smile.

Ji Xiao: "..."

He had no choice but to approach the chicken soup slowly, but unexpectedly his lips just touched the rim of the bowl when his hand slipped, and the bowl of imperial gifted chicken soup fell to the ground crisply, breaking into several large pieces, and the soup poured all over Ji Xiao.

"Your Majesty's atonement, the slave's hands slipped for a while..." Ji Xiao quickly explained with a nervous look on his face.

Lu Chao: "Why does this widow look at you on purpose?"

Ji Xiao blurted out: "Your Majesty is wrong."

He lowered his head, Lu Chao didn't speak, and the air froze all of a sudden.The backs and foreheads of the palace people present were sweating, and the bloody scene that followed had already begun to appear in their imaginative minds.

Just when everyone thought that the little eunuch would not survive today, Lu Chao was unusually lifeless, and instead said lightly: "Take him to change clothes."

The two palace servants immediately stepped forward and led Ji Xiao away.

When they got out of the side hall, the two palace men breathed a sigh of relief, one of them who was slightly older said in a low voice: "How dare you contradict the Holy Majesty like that, do you want to kill yourself?"

"All of us are sweating for you."

Ji Xiao is not dull, so he can naturally feel Lu Chao's killing intent just now, but he always feels that Lu Chao has a sense of familiarity, and it is difficult to continue to pretend to be weak and innocent when facing him.

And he could feel that Lu Chao would not kill him, at least not at that time.

In the side hall on the other side, all the palace people retreated, only Lu Chao and the old eunuch were left sitting at the long table.

"It's so similar." Lu Chao murmured softly, "The dishes he likes and the dishes he doesn't like are all exactly the same."

"I don't want to eat anything I don't like. Is this a coincidence?"

The old eunuch replied: "The old slave also feels like it."

Lu Chao's eyelashes sank slightly, and he was in a daze: "But isn't he a fairy in the sky?"

"Maybe..." the old eunuch pondered.

Lu Chao squinted his eyes, then glanced at the half-dried wet marks on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "I don't believe it, this Wang Jixiao must have used some means to know his likes and dislikes."

"If the widow is going to find out, he's just pretending, and the widow must have skinned him."

As soon as the sun set, it was night in a blink of an eye.

After Ji Xiao came back from the emperor, he was sent to clean the courtyard again.

Just as he was shaking his broom under a big tree in the yard, someone suddenly slapped his back. He was startled, and then turned around immediately, only to see the face of his old friend.

Ying Huo Xingjun made a silent gesture on his lips: "Don't worry, ordinary people can't see me."

After speaking, he leaned over and looked at Ji Xiao's face carefully: "This kid looks like you, did you look like this when you were young?"

"Can not remember."

Yinghuo couldn't help pinching his face, and sighed, "It's so cute."

Ji Xiao: "..."

He patted Yinghuo's hand away and asked, "How did you get down?"

"I stole it, but it wasn't for you. Your little concubine, Shaohao, was imprisoned by the Emperor of Heaven, and he was able to reach out to Si Ming and ask for a life stone for you," Yingzhuo said, pulling out the life stone from her body. He tied a chain with red beads on it, and the red beads glowed strangely red at night, "Come on, I'll tie it on for you."

"This life stone has a spirit, which can make you aware of your doom. I have also formed a layer of seal on it. When life and death are at stake, I can protect you from disaster."

Ji Xiao fiddled with him, and finally raised his head and asked, "Did you ask Si Ming, what is my response to this calamity?"

"Of course I asked, but the dog god stick insisted on saying that the secret should not be revealed, and only revealed one sentence, saying that it is..." Yingzhuo stuffed the pendant into his heart, pressed it with her hand, and pondered mysteriously for a long time Yes, finally said, "Love Tribulation."

He half-jokingly said: "Xianjun Ji Xiao, you are really the number one prodigal in the sky and on earth, you owe a love debt in the sky, and there is also an indelible mess in the world."

"Shut up," Ji Xiao was not tall enough to hit his head at this time, so he could only step on his feet, "I think you look like the most sloppy mouth in the world."

Yinghuo dodged lightly, and teased him with a smile: "You said that if I go back and tell them, Xianjun Jixiao can only hit my head by jumping up now, and I can only step on my feet when I am anxious, but I can't step on it." , will anyone believe it?"

Ji Xiao picked up the broom and would rather sweep the floor than bother him.

"I'm not making fun of you anymore, I'm serious." Yinghuo paused, and then said, "I went to your residence just now, and there were eight or nine people in one room—you said you were doing well in the sky, Why do you have to come down to suffer? Then the whole fairy mountain in the South China Sea is your fairy residence, why are you crowded here?"

Ji Xiao paused: "I don't know, but I always feel like I've lost something. When I was a mortal... I could feel it was here, but I couldn't find it."

Yingzhuo was born a god, so she didn't understand him very well: "You mortals have practiced for a lifetime, and you have to abandon your past. Memories of the past are gone when they are gone. What are you obsessed with about this illusory past?"

Ji Xiao: "You don't understand."

Yinghuo sighed: "I don't understand."

After finishing speaking, he took out a white jade hairpin: "Look, when I went to your residence just now, I found a sneaky person hiding something under your quilt. After he left, I took it."

Ji Xiao took it and looked at it by the moonlight, and could see that the jade was of excellent quality.

He asked: "What kind of person?"

Ying Huo thought for a while, and then said: "Like a eunuch, in his thirties, with a big nose and a mole."

This look is very iconic, and Ji Xiao remembered the name of this person almost instantly——

Wei Dengshan.

After confirming that it was his words, Ji Xiao could guess about it. He handed the white jade hairpin back to Yinghuo, then thought for a moment, and pointed to the direction of the west chamber: "The second room there, help me later." Hide this hosta there."

Yinghuo: "Aren't you going to tell me?"

As soon as he became curious, he started talking endlessly, so Ji Xiao briefly told him about his guess.

"Is that so?" Yingzhuo asked again, "Whose room is the second room over there?"

"A court lady named Cai Die."

Yinghuo smiled: "Is that the little maid who humiliated you for the master?"

Ji Xiao was noncommittal.

"But the instigator is Concubine Qi, right?"

Ji Xiao blinked, her black eyes were cold and frosty: "So what, someone has to pay the price first."
