Niang's meal….."

Recieving a death glare from Feng Tingye, Yan Ran lightly coughed a few times, then tactfully changed how he addressed Xia Yuqing.

His heart lamented. As expected, today is not like our former days. If it was as before, how could this man in front of me stare at me with such cold eyes for a woman. It's seriously no joke when one has a wife, your brothers are just spoilt milk!

Feng Tingye's eyes glanced over at Yan Ran for a second, then laughed. 'It appears as if the Grand Tutor especially liked the red date ginseng pig trotter stew that was given to him a couple of days ago. Fine, if that's the case, Zhen could get Consort Qing to make a couple more and send it over to the Grand Tutor's residence. This would be to reward all of Grand Tutor's efforts and meritous services for this country. To display my sincerity, I will instruct Consort Qing to personally cook for the Grand Tutor to enjoy."

Feng Tingye intentionally emphasized the words 'personally cook' causing Yan Ran's originally smiling expression to stiffen. Forcing a smile he replied, "Imperial Consort Qing is such an invaluable person of status, how could this Chen dare to even consider having Niang Niang to personally cook for this official to enjoy?"

"The Grand Tutor is one of the state's accomplished officials, a few trifling dishes is no matter. Besides, Consort Qing has recently been fairly passionate about cooking. Zhen is sure that it would be little effort on her part to make those simple dishes. My beloved Ai Fei's kind intentions, when the time comes you better make sure you eat every little scrap, otherwise if Ai Fei finds out she would definitely be hurt."

So you're deliberately using me as a shield to save yourself from having to suffer, spared getting ruined! Even though he did not know Xia Yuqing's cooking skills but so what? Just looking at Feng Tingye's complexion the past few days, it is clear to all how it is.

Although it wasn't as bad as rumoured outside, but they were all brilliant individuals. From birth until present they had never been sick before, their valiant physique was as strong as His Majesty's. Yet, it was the undeniable truth that they have been lying here the entire day!

Yan Ran scowled miserably, unwillingly replying: "Chen obeys the emperor's decree."

Leng Ruofeng and Shao Zitang looked indifferently at Feng Tingye tormenting Yan Ran. Their lips twitched into a smirk as they looked towards Yan Ran, rejoicing in his misfortune.

Fully aware that a certain person is incredibly narrow-minded and you still decide to joyfully bump against this loaded gun. If he didn't drag you into this mess, could he still be called Feng Tingye? That is the reason why that certain person could be so tyrannical!

In that moment where those several people were still speaking, a sudden knocking sound from outside could be heard. Following right after, Feng Tingye's personal eunuch came over to make a report. "Reporting to His Majesty, Imperial Consort Qing has requested to meet you."

"Why would she be coming over at this hour?" Feng Tingye was stumped for words. "Allow Consort Qing to come in. As for you guys…."

Receiving Feng Tingye's expelling glance, the three gave each other a meaningful glance then bowed down and retreated: "This official asks to be excused."

"Niang Niang." The three of them walked over to where Xia Yuqing was coming from and courteously greeted her.

Somewhat bewildered, she glanced at the three and saw that they also had a similar blank stare. Slightly smiling, she nodded her head towards the three.

Being accustomed to Xia Yuqing's over affectionate appearance every time they encounter each other, seeing Xia Yuqing's indifferent attitude now, the three all felt a bit unused to it.
