It seemed that he was planning to use the behavior of eating melon seeds to hide the embarrassment on his face.
"Uh! Uh! It seems that there is such a thing.
It’s been more than half a year since that day, and I, sister, I can’t remember it clearly.”
Xue Ning'er looked at the pitiful Ren Qingrui and continued to explain.
"My sister replied that nothing was wrong, she was just frightened by the sudden thunder outside the room.
However, in fact, my sister was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her mouth.
Sister Qingrui, although I, my sister, are just a female generation who have never seen much of the world, my man, my sister, is a general who serves in the army and defends the country.
When your brother-in-law comes back to visit his family every year during his vacation, he will more or less mention some matters related to the court to my sister and me.
Therefore, sister, even though I have never seen anything big in the world, I still know what the words “Ru Di’s presence in person” mean!
At that time, my sister's heart was so frightened that she subconsciously thought that Qingrui sister, you...you...
Sister Qingrui, you should understand what my sister wants to say."
Ren Qingrui hurriedly picked up a melon seed and put it in her mouth again, her pretty face nodded gloomily.
"Well, I know, sister Ning'er, please go on."
"At first, sister, I was so scared that I was completely helpless. Then, sister, I thought about it carefully.
Based on my sister’s understanding of your character, Sister Qingrui, you shouldn’t do such a treacherous thing.
We sisters have been getting along with each other for so long, and I am more or less aware of your character, Qingrui.
So my sister calmed down and thought about it carefully. Maybe there was some misunderstanding.
Therefore, my sister put the gold medal back for you and pretended not to know about it at all.
About a month later, sister, you came to visit your sister because you were in a bad mood.
In the afternoon, there happened to be no customers in the pharmacy, so the two of us had a few drinks together.
That night when we were sleeping together, sister Qingrui, you mentioned something about you and your Majesty, intentionally or unintentionally... ahem... you mentioned something about you and someone.
That night, after my sister heard you vaguely talk about some past events about you, my sister's worried heart was finally completely relieved.
Reading between the lines when you talk about your past, my sister vaguely knows where the gold medal in your closet comes from...
All in all, since that day, sister, I can finally stop worrying about you.
Sister Qingrui, you already know what’s going to happen next.”
After Ren Qingrui heard Xue Ning'er finish explaining the cause and effect, she turned around and looked at Young Master Liu with an angry expression.
She raised her hand and patted the melon seeds in Young Master Liu's hand. Ren Qingrui smiled wryly with a pretty face.
"Hehehe, hehehe, Daguoguo, sister, I didn't mean to do it.
I knew it right away. Sister Ning'er happened to be a guest at my house that day.
I suddenly knew that the gold medal you gave me happened to fall out of the clothes in the closet when Ning'er was gathering to change clothes.
I really didn’t mean it, you have to believe me.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui's pitiful pretty face, chuckled, shook his head, and dropped a melon seed into his mouth.
After spitting out the melon seed shells in his mouth, Liu Mingzhi looked curiously at Xue Ning'er opposite.
"Miss Xue, did you confirm my identity just by relying on a Golden Dragon Token that you saw once from Miss Ren?"
"Your Majesty, is it more than just that?"
"Oh? There are other things? I would like to hear the details."
"Your Majesty, at the beginning, I just treated you as an ordinary guest with a good status.
Later, when sister Qingrui greeted you, I realized that you were with her.
My concubine, Your Majesty, you have a good temperament, and I can immediately see that Your Majesty, you are not an ordinary person.
Later, when I saw Qingrui's sister introducing you, my concubine was unusually vague, as if she was too busy to explain.
So, I felt something was not right.
I carefully observed your Majesty's temperament, and then roughly guessed your age.
I couldn't help but think of the past events that Qingrui's sister mentioned before, and I roughly guessed your identity, Your Majesty.
Even so, I am just a little suspicious, and I don't dare to be 100% sure that you are the emperor."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xue Ning'er who was chatting quietly, and gently took off the tobacco bag from his waist.
Just as Liu Mingzhi opened the cigarette pouch, he suddenly realized that he was a guest at someone else's house and casually placed the cigarette pouch on the table.
Xue Ning'er glanced at the tobacco pouch on the table, stood up, picked up the tobacco pouch, and handed it to Young Master Liu with a chuckle.
"Your Majesty, my concubine's father and husband both smoke cigarettes. I have long been used to it. Please do it."
Liu Mingzhi was startled for a moment, then smiled and nodded, then took the dry tobacco bag and skillfully filled it with shredded tobacco.
"Since Miss Xue, you were not 100% sure of my identity at the beginning, then what is the reason that made you, Miss Xue, sure of my identity?"
Xue Ning'er sat down gracefully and pointed at the teapot on the stone table with complicated eyes.
"I returned to Your Majesty because of the tea on the table."
Liu Mingzhi turned around and blew out a puff of smoke, looking at the teapot on the table with a puzzled expression.
"Tea? What can this tea do..."
Liu Mingzhi suddenly stopped mid-sentence, raised his eyebrows slightly and smacked his lips several times.
"Tribute tea."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and took a puff of cigarette, then sighed with a strange expression.
"I was a little puzzled before, but it turns out the problem lies with the tea leaves."
"Your Majesty, this Mengding Nectar is one of the tribute teas in the palace. How can I afford to drink the tribute tea in the palace with my parents' family's little wealth?"
As Xue Ning'er spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at Ren Qingrui opposite.
"Sister Qingrui, where does this fine tea come from? It's up to you to explain it to His Majesty."
"Sister Ning'er, are these tea leaves given to you and me by my sister?"
"Well, these are the tea leaves you gave to my sister, otherwise, how could my sister get such high-quality tea leaves!"
"With just a brief taste, you can tell that this tea is Mengding Manna, a famous tea in Sichuan.
Apart from His Majesty who is used to drinking tribute tea, I really can't think of anyone else.
By combining the two together, I have determined your identity, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and threw away the folding fan in his hand.
"Girl."
"Ah? How's it going?"
"Study hard, this is wisdom."
"Da Guoguo, what do you mean by this? I am also a smart girl, can I spread it?
Sister Ning'er didn't mention these things to me before, so I knew she would guess your identity!"
Liu Mingzhi ignored Ren Qingrui's charming words and looked at Xue Ning'er opposite with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"Miss Xue, given the sisterhood between you and Yatou Ren, even if you guessed my identity, there is no need to point it out.
If you do this, you should be asking for something else, right?"
Xue Ning'er's delicate body trembled, she pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time, then stood up and knelt directly in front of Young Master Liu.
Liu Mingzhi looked stunned and hurriedly stood up to help Xue Ning'er up.
"Miss Xue, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
Xue Ning'er shook her head with a complicated expression and insisted on kneeling in front of Young Master Liu.
