His eyes were full of certainty, which scared me to the point of struggling.
And I know that my struggle seemed to prick the doubt in his heart and make him feel relaxed. Otherwise, his hand holding my shoulder would not have suddenly used force, as if he was going to crush me.
I knew that I had offended Ouyang Shaoqing, so in order to save my own life, I hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood, I was joking, and my type is not like that of the prince. I like mysterious men,
Like a high priest."
"Fang Luo?"
Seeing him listening to my explanation, the hand holding my shoulder gradually loosened its grip, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"You said you like Fang Luo?"
He had a certain evil spirit that never retreated, but it was impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment. I didn’t want to hurt Dongfang Luo because of my words, so I added: “I just said that I like the mysterious type of high priest, and I didn’t
It didn’t say that the person I like is the high priest.”
But he said: "Why don't you like a man like me? I am the most powerful person in the world, and everyone is at my feet. If you like me, you can have supreme rights. Don't you want the right to dominate?"
"think."
I answered one word very honestly, and looked at Ouyang Shaoqing with a very real look, but I knew that I would not become the master because I was not ruthless enough.
"That--"
He opened his mouth to say something, but I immediately interrupted: "But I know that I can't be the master, I can't master anyone, and I can't even control my own future, right?"
I smiled mockingly and looked at Ouyang Shaoqing with my eyes blankly, never looking away.
If I could be the master, I wouldn't be used as a pawn like I am now, taking every step of the future that I don't want to take.
"you--"
It seemed that my sadness made Ouyang Shaoqing feel pity for me. He raised his hand and touched my cheek gently, full of tenderness.
I avoided it unnaturally and said, "Your Majesty, I just woke up and am a little hungry. I want to eat."
I didn't want to talk too much with Ouyang Shaoqing, so I directly expressed my truest feelings at the moment, and the next moment my stomach grumbled in cooperation.
----------------------------------
I ordered people to prepare all the light things, and I simply ate a little. My hungry and flustered stomach was no longer so empty.
Later, Ouyang Shaoqing asked someone to prepare pastries for me to eat, but he did not leave and stayed with me.
Picking up a piece of hibiscus cake, he handed it to me. I took it and listened to him say: "Try this hibiscus cake. It is made by the new royal chef. I eat a few pieces every day. It tastes very good."
I nodded, put the hibiscus cake into my mouth, and chewed it gently and slowly.
The taste is really good.
It melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy, and the light scent of hibiscus fills the air.
"How about it?"
He waited expectantly for my answer, and I gave him the answer after finishing a whole piece of hibiscus cake.
"It's delicious. What a blessing it would be if I could eat it every day."
As he said that, I picked up another piece of hibiscus cake and ate it, but I heard him say: "If you like it, I will ask the imperial kitchen to bring you a plate every day."
I shook my head and refused.
Under his puzzled inquiry, I explained: "It tastes delicious, and I want to eat it every day, but if I really eat it every day, I'm afraid I will get tired of it."
