Chapter 19
The two returned to the main hall and sat down. The food on the table had already been removed, and the servant brought a freshly cut fruit platter and small and exquisite desserts.
Xie Jiuyu already had a deep understanding of these extravagant foods, so he just sat in his seat and watched everyone taste them.
I saw Liu Wanmu ate a piece of red bean muffin pretending to be elegant, wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and praised: "The chef in the palace is different. This pastry is much better than our chef's."
"Father and son love to eat desserts, so I invited top masters to come to the palace to make desserts. If Madam Xie likes it, I will ask the servants to pack some for you to take back." The queen said with a silver fork Pick up a cherry tomato, bring it to the mouth without any haste, and then bite it down. The set of movements is smooth and flowing, showing the nobleness.
Xie Jiuyu sighed silently in his heart, no matter how hard a sparrow learns, it will never be like a phoenix.
Xie Enbai followed the topic and said: "This dessert is so sweet, the fatigue from today's training has disappeared a lot."
"Enbai usually trains very hard, really hard." Liu Wanmu showed Xie Enbai's excellence, and brought Qin Yao into the topic by the way, "I remember that the prince is also from the supernatural department. You should have met in the training ground, right?"
Her idea was wrong.The last time Xie Enbai faced Xie Jiuyu in front of Qin Yao and failed to find fault, Qin Yao investigated in private and was shocked and angry at Xie's past actions.But Xie Jiuyu had his own ideas on this matter, so he followed his will and didn't intervene, but it didn't mean that he would have a good look at these low moral people.
Qin Yao spit out two words expressionlessly: "No."
Although it is true, but being so straightforward without even saying a word made Liu Wanmu mother and son very embarrassed.
Xie Enbai jumped out in time to explain: "The training grounds of each grade are different. It's normal that Senior Qin and I can't meet."
"It turned out to be like this. It's my fault that I didn't understand. It was a joke." Liu Wanmu smiled covertly.
Seeing the flattering and flattering appearance of Liu Wanmu's mother and son, Xie Jiuyu felt disgusted. Why didn't the Queen get to the point?Everyone finish talking early and leave early.
"Jiuyu, try this." Qin Yao picked up a piece of jujube cake and brought it to Xie Jiuyu's mouth, his intimate movements were very natural.
Xie Jiuyu subconsciously started sideways, considering that this is a royal palace, his words were more tactful: "I can't eat any more."
Qin Yao and Xie Jiuyu had eaten several times, knowing his appetite, Xie Jiuyu didn't move his chopsticks at all just now, how could he be full?Thinking of his expression when eating dumplings, Qin Yao knew that Xie Jiuyu probably thought the food was not tasty.
"This is delicious, I promise." Qin Yao sent the jujube cake forward again, and directly stuck it to Xie Jiuyu's lips.
Xie Jiuyu once again captured Qin Yao's weirdness, and finally realized that Qin Yao's action was a bit too intimate.Although they have established a fairly good friendship through leveling, the behavior of feeding things is obviously out of bounds.
Qin Yao didn't let go of his hand, and the sweet scent spread in Xie Jiuyu's nose. Although Xie Jiuyu didn't understand why Qin Yao was so close to him suddenly, it was obviously not a good time to ask.
"I'll do it myself." Xie Jiuyu took the pastry from Qin Yao's hand, brought it to his mouth and took a bite. The smooth jujube paste was sweet and fragrant, and it was indeed delicious.
Xie Jiuyu wasn't full at first, but after finding out that the jujube cake tasted good, he ate the rest in two or three bites.
The interaction between the two was clearly seen by everyone present, and they had whatever thoughts in their hearts.
Xie Wang and his wife are very pleased at this time, their son has done a good job, and the pursuit of someone is to be so close and considerate.
The queen felt that the timing was good, and finally got to the point: "Jiu Yu, you should already know about your engagement with Qin Yao, right?"
Finally came.Xie Jiuyu wiped off the crumbs around his mouth, and pretended to listen attentively: "I know."
"That's good." The queen smiled gratifiedly, and closed her lips again.
The topic came to an end, Xie Jiuyu was a little confused.What's the meaning?Why don't you continue talking after talking about it?
After waiting for a while, the queen still didn't have anything to say, so Xie Jiuyu simply brought it up by himself: "Actually, about the marriage contract, I—"
"Jiuyu! Eat another piece." Qin Yao put another piece of pastry to his mouth, blocking what he wanted to say.
Xie Jiuyu sensed that something was wrong, turned his head back to avoid it, and opened his mouth to continue talking, but Qin Yao's hand immediately caught up and stuffed the pastry into his mouth.
Xie Jiuyu was caught off guard and his mouth was full, and he was stunned on the spot for a while.
What kind of wind is this?
Qin Shu, who hadn't spoken much all night, stopped him and said, "Qin Yao!"
Xie Jiuyu's tongue was so pressed by the cake that he couldn't speak, so he could only silently give Qin Shu a compliment in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shu changed the subject and said a sentence that surprised everyone.
"Actually, today we mainly want to ask you if you want to hold a make-up engagement ceremony."
Huge waves exploded in Xie's family, Xie Wang really wants to marry them!
As if struck by lightning, Xie Jiuyu desperately swallowed what was in his mouth. He kept observing where his queen would let him speak, and said first: "Your engagement was made before you were born. At that time, Qin Yao had only One year old, so there was no ceremony, and it has been delayed until now. If you want, we will immediately start planning a grand engagement wedding, and we can't wrong you."
Although the jujube cake was creamy and delicate, Xie Jiuyu swallowed a whole piece suddenly, and was choked up uncomfortably at the moment. He resisted the congested feeling in his throat, and struggled to speak: "No engagement ceremony, this engagement is completely acceptable—"
"Drink the water before talking." Seeing that Xie Jiuyu's face was blushing, Qin Yao quickly poured him a glass of water, partly out of distress, partly to stop him from talking.
Xie Jiuyu was so choked that he vomited, and the water was brought to his mouth again. He instinctively grabbed the cup and took a few gulps.
Xie Jiuyu couldn't finish what she said, so the queen pretended not to understand, and joked, "Why are you so thin-skinned, you blushed just after the engagement ceremony. Listen to you, and just hold the wedding ceremony in the future."
Xie Jiuyu only felt that the choking feeling in his throat was transferred to his chest cavity, and his heart was very congested.What did you listen to him?This family didn't even let him finish his sentence!As expected of the royal family, the skills of pretending to be stupid and distorting the meaning are full every minute.
After that, Xie Jiuyu was never able to say a word.As long as he tried to speak, he would be interrupted abruptly.The Xie family naturally sided with the royal family, and they all blatantly ignored him.His resistance was suppressed by the harmonious silence of the people at the table, but Xie Yanshu shook his head slightly at him, which was regarded as temporary appeasement.In the end, Xie Jiuyu could only spread out on the chair without saying a word, like a salted fish.
It was supposed to be a dinner prepared for him, but he became the one who talked the least. Instead, Liu Wanmu and his mother, who wanted to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, got their wish and had a lot of conversations with the queen.
After returning to Xie's house, Xie Jiuyu rushed into the room and locked the door behind him, took out his optical brain to contact Qin Yao.
"Jiuyu, what's the matter? Did I leave something here?"
"Don't change the subject." Xie Jiuyu went straight to the point, "What's going on today?"
Qin Yao's eyes flickered: "What's going on?"
Xie Jiuyu snorted coldly: "Still pretending to be stupid? Not only did your parents not mention the divorce, but they confirmed our engagement, so you have nothing to say?"
"Why do you think that calling you here today is to call off the engagement?"
Xie Jiuyu was stunned for a moment, isn't this a natural thing?Even if he didn't return to normal, the marriage would be withdrawn sooner or later.
"I used to occupy this seat without causing trouble, but now I am a normal person, if I continue to occupy..."
Xie Jiuyu stopped suddenly, and when he spoke again, there was a trace of coldness in his tone: "You want me to continue to be a shield?"
Qin Yao was silent for a few seconds, no wonder Xie Jiuyu thought so, they were indeed biased before, but now it is different.
"That's not the case. This marriage contract is inherited from the ancestors. How could it be easily withdrawn?" Qin Yao picked up the matter of his ancestors as an excuse. He was not ready to let Xie Jiuyu know his intentions.
Xie Jiuyu didn't speak for a long time, he unraveled the whole thing in his heart, Qin Yao's strange intimate behavior, the queen's inexplicable enthusiasm, Xie Wang's acknowledgment of the marriage contract, and their blatant interruption... His mind was clearly revealed.
"Jiuyu?" Seeing Xie Jiuyu's gloomy face and not speaking, Qin Yao felt uneasy.
"So you plan to continue this engagement, or even fulfill it?" Xie Jiuyu's voice did not fluctuate.
"Yes." Qin Yao affirmed seriously.
Xie Jiuyu's frosty expression suddenly melted away, and the corners of his mouth were raised with a bit of malice: "Okay, remember, I will be your fiance from now on."
Happiness came so suddenly, Qin Yao was so shocked that the communication was cut off before he could even utter a single modal particle.
The optical brain was thrown away by Xie Jiuyu, and the impact was so strong that it bounced twice on the table.
Xie Jiuyu flung herself on the bed and buried her head in the soft quilt.He doesn't have the ability to compete with the royal family now, and he needs Qin Yao to help him level up. Since they still want to keep things as usual, he will continue to act with them.
It's just that he has the final say on how to act.
Before going to bed, Xie Yanshu came to talk to Xie Jiuyu, analyzed and weighed the pros and cons for him, and tried to persuade him to be a lobbyist for the royal family.But Xie Jiuyu had already made up his mind, nodded his head in response, and didn't say much.
