I immediately lowered my head, and before I could speak, Xu Cairen said with a smile: "This is the oxtail soup specially prepared for the emperor by the imperial kitchen. It has been added with a few herbs, which is just right for tonic."

"Oh?" Pei Yuanhao glanced at the snow-white stewed soup, then looked at the people in the room, seemed to smile, and continued to drink.

The atmosphere relaxed for a moment. I saw Liu Ningyan's face getting redder and redder, and her whole body was shaking with nervousness. Xu Cairen glanced at her, with a slightly displeased look on his face, and said:

"Your Majesty plans tonight -"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the leaves rustling outside.

"The wind is rising."

"Well," Pei Yuanhao gargled and wiped his mouth, then stood up and said, "It just so happens that I'm a little hot and want to go out for a walk. I have something to deal with in the imperial study at night, so I won't stay with you."

After saying that, he turned around and told Liu Ningyan: "Go and tell Yuquan that I will go back to the imperial study tonight."

Liu Ningyan's face suddenly turned pale: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you cannot be without someone to serve you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you need someone to follow you." Xu Cairen also advised.

Pei Yuanhao stood by the table, glanced at the bowl of snow-white soup on the table, and then slowly raised his head, as if looking at me casually.
