"Qingqing..."
"Qingqing?"
Zhao Junyao called out twice in a row. Only then did Xia Ruqing come back to her senses.
"Hmm?"
"AH!!"
"Your Majesty, you're awake?" She quickly adjusted her expression.
Zhao Junyao had a look of exasperation. "What were you just thinking about!"
"Nothing... not at all! Your Majesty, you..." Her mind became frantic and jumbled, recalling what Eunuch Li had said about the Emperor not having had his lunch yet.
Xia Ruqing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you must be hungry. I've prepared some light dishes for you. Would you like to eat something?"
Zhao Junyao nodded. "Indeed, I'm hungry!"
However... looking at her fair face still flushed with a shy, rosy tint.
What I really want to eat is you! Zhao Junyao thought to himself.
