At this moment, Princess Changle finally understood why Noble Consort Liu, who had always treated her like air, had dragged her out to eat. She had even said that she was afraid that the food in the inn would not be to her taste. Throughout the entire journey, she had not seen Noble Consort Liu show any concern for her food. If not for the fact that Princess Changle did not want to stay at the inn and be bored, who would want to eat with her? She would only lose her appetite in front of that face that she thought was holy and inviolable, okay? Noble Consort Liu had actually dragged her out to coincidentally meet with Uncle Prince Ding and Princess Ding. If they were in the palace and not outside, Princess Changle would have already reprimanded Noble Consort Liu for being shameless. Previously, she had heard that Noble Consort Liu admired Uncle Prince Ding, but she had never seen Noble Consort Liu so shamelessly insist on disturbing the couple's meal.
Noble Consort Liu was unwilling to listen to Princess Changle's advice. Instead, she stared fixedly at Mo Xiuyao and said, "We can be considered old acquaintances. Could it be that you are not even willing to treat me to a meal?"
Mo Xiuyao slightly frowned. Just as Noble Consort Liu thought that he had finally loosened up and a smile appeared on his face, he raised his head and said with a frown, "I am not familiar with you." The smile that had not yet fully blossomed on Noble Consort Liu's face immediately froze. Seriously speaking, Mo Xiuyao and Noble Consort Liu really could not be considered familiar. When he was young, he had already been engaged. Naturally, he would not look at other women. Even if he had not been engaged, he would not have liked the daughter of a family that did not see eye to eye with his father and brother. After Su Zuidie left, because of his illness, he did not leave his room. As for Noble Consort Liu, she had long since entered the Imperial Palace. After marrying Ye Li, he no longer had any women in his eyes. As a result, he truly was not familiar with Noble Consort Liu.
Noble Consort Liu was clearly hurt by the words' not familiar '. Her beautiful face instantly turned deathly pale. Gritting her teeth, she said, "I … am I really that unworthy of your attention?"
Ye Li frowned. Pulling at Mo Xiuyao, she said, "I'm hungry. Let's go in and eat. Noble Consort Liu and Princess Changle, why don't you come with us? " It wasn't that Ye Li was soft-hearted and wanted to invite them. It was just that although there weren't many people in the area where they were standing, it was still a place where people came and went. Noble Consort Liu didn't care about her reputation, but she didn't like to hear that her husband was involved in scandals with other women. Mo Xiuyao nodded and pulled Ye Li into a room they had booked earlier. When he walked past Noble Consort Liu, Noble Consort Liu gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "I don't need your fake kindness!" Ye Li stopped and looked back at her with a faint smile. She sneered, "So, are you coming or not?" Noble Consort Liu's pale face suddenly turned pink. She gritted her teeth and followed her.
Mo Xiuyao had never treated his guests well. Of course, he couldn't be blamed for this. Ever since he was young, no matter where he went, he was always warmly entertained by others. The number of people who could be entertained by him could be counted on one hand. As a result, when Noble Consort Liu and Princess Changle arrived a few steps behind, Mo Xiuyao had already dismissed the waiter who was waiting for them to order. Unsurprisingly, the dishes he ordered were all things that Ye Li and himself liked to eat. As for Ye Li, because she was very familiar with Hua Tianxiang, she had some understanding of Princess Changle. She had also ordered several dishes that Princess Changle liked to eat.
As a result, when the table was filled with dishes, Noble Consort Liu's expression became even more unsightly. Ye Li looked at the gloomy-faced Noble Consort Liu, who had only picked a few pieces of vegetables to eat, and felt somewhat puzzled. Even if Noble Consort Liu didn't order the dishes to her liking, the dishes in this restaurant shouldn't be so bad, right? While Ye Li was feeling puzzled, Mo Xiuyao had already placed some of her favorite dishes into her bowl. Softly, he said, "The cooking skills of this restaurant's cooks are not bad. Try it … "
Ye Li lowered her head and tasted a mouthful. Indeed, it was not bad. Although it could not compare to the Prince Ding Mansion's chefs or the Concentrated Fragrance Pavilion's chefs, it was definitely much better than Ye Li's. Ye Li was not a picky eater. She could even eat her own home-cooked dishes, much less this kind of cooking skill. Raising her hand, she placed a piece of chicken, which had been cooked to perfection, in Mo Xiuyao's bowl, saying, "Try this. It's very tasty." The expression on Mo Xiuyao's face immediately became even gentler. Although he frowned at the sight of the chicken, he still lowered his head and ate the entire piece of chicken. Seeing Mo Xiuyao's serious appearance as he ate, Ye Li smiled faintly. From time to time, she would place some food into his bowl. Because of his ten years of illness, Mo Xiuyao's diet was very simple, and he did not like to eat meat or fish. However, Ye Li believed that although it was necessary to eat more vegetarian dishes, they should be accompanied by meat and vegetables. As a result, from time to time, she would place some meat into Mo Xiuyao's bowl. Fortunately, although Mo Xiuyao did not like to eat meat, as long as it was given to him by Ye Li, he would eat it without saying a word. Over the years, he had developed the habit of having Ye Li place food into his bowl when the two of them ate together in private. It was to the point that Ye Li forgot to place food into his bowl while she was eating. By the time she realized, Mo Xiuyao had already eaten more than half a bowl of white rice. She did not know whether to laugh or cry at a certain someone's childishness.
"Uncle Prince Ding and Princess Consort have such a good relationship." Princess Changle looked at the two of them, smiling enviously. Although she had seen many married couples, many of whom were deeply in love, Princess Changle still felt that the scene in front of her was beautiful and enviable. In the palace, when her Imperial Father ate a dish, he would have countless poisons tested. Furthermore, he would have palace maids and eunuchs taste test the food before he could feel at ease. Under these circumstances, which concubine or child would dare to place food into her Imperial Father's bowl? At the very least, in Princess Changle's memories, her Imperial Mother and Imperial Father had always eaten their own food.
Ye Li glanced at her, unhappily saying, "What does a little girl know about relationships? Your Uncle Prince Ding is very hard to please. "
"Miss Ye, you clearly know that the Prince does not like to eat those things. Why do you deliberately place food into his bowl?" Noble Consort Liu, who had been calm all this time, suddenly spoke up. Furthermore, under the gazes of everyone present, she placed some stir-fried green bamboo shoots into Mo Xiuyao's bowl. Faintly smiling, she said, "I remember that the Prince likes to eat green bamboo shoots the most." The side room immediately became quiet, the atmosphere becoming heavy. Originally, Mo Xiuyao had just put down his chopsticks and was about to drink the mushroom and ginseng chicken soup that Ye Li had served him. Unexpectedly, he saw Noble Consort Liu place food into his bowl. Immediately, his expression sank. Abandoning the half-drunk soup, he raised his bowl and threw it at Noble Consort Liu.
Noble Consort Liu was not a weak woman. As soon as she saw the bowl of soup coming at her, she immediately stepped aside. Unfortunately, the table was not big and the two were not far from each other. Therefore, although she stepped aside, half of her shoulder was still soaked by the chicken soup. The delicate white porcelain bowl hit the wall behind Noble Consort Liu and broke with a bang.
"Prince Ding, you!" Noble Consort Liu had never thought that Mo Xiuyao would treat her so rudely. For a moment, her face turned pale and she could not say a word.
Looking at Noble Consort Liu's embarrassed face, Ye Li did not have any sympathy in her heart. If it were not for the fact that she did not want to be too rude, Ye Li would have directly scolded him, "Do you have any shame?!"
Putting food into someone's bowl, not to mention in this era, even in her previous life, only people who were very close or had a good relationship with each other would do such a thing. Ye Li really didn't know what was going on in Noble Consort Liu's head.
"Get out!" Mo Xiuyao stared at Noble Consort Liu and said coldly.
