”Yes.”

”He Shibi, send the chef who cooked this dish to the General's Estate later.”

Zhou Leping almost choked when he heard that, he immediately waved his hand, and said, ”Your majesty, there is no lack of cooks in this subject's house. The imperial chef is in charge of the emperor's three meals a day, how can this subject dare to snatch someone from the emperor's side?

However, Zhao Shiqian did not listen to her, ”We do not lack a chef here.”

”You … This humble subject is also not at ease with it. ”

”How can I not be at ease? This Emperor bestowed you with a chef, not a man. What is there to be afraid of? ”

Speaking of this problem again, Zhou Leping chose to remain silent.

Zhao Shiqian did not plan to let her off that easily, ”Are you satisfied with the few candidates we mentioned previously? ”He is a country house full of talented people. If you like him, tell him and I will promote him.”

Your majesty, this subject does not wish to be a villain. These geniuses are all dragons among men, but this subject is just a crude person who dances sabers and spears.

If this carried on, she would cry. Good boy, why did she have to be such an evil person? What were these people trying to coax? Was it so important if she didn't get married?

Zhao Shiqian couldn't bear to hear her say such a thing about him, ”In State Of Zhao, aside from us, your identity is the most respected. Is there any other man in this world that you aren't worthy of? It is their fortune to be able to marry you. If you really do like you, then tell me and I will propose a marriage for you! ”

After saying that, he felt that something was wrong.

He didn't agree with her getting married, so how could he explain it and get himself involved?

Just as he was thinking about how to round it back, Zhou Leping suddenly asked, ”Is the emperor really that hoping for this subject to marry?”

She stopped her chopsticks, looked down at her bowl, and spoke in a low voice.

He Shibi and the other eunuchs lowered their heads. They wished that they could escape now, that was better than standing here and not hearing anything that they shouldn't have.

Zhao Shiqian was startled, then waved his hand, retracting to his left and right.

Everyone let out a long breath and left as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

”I don't want you to get married. In this world … No man is worthy of you. ”

Zhou Leping smirked as he raised his wine cup to toast Zhao Shiqian. ”Since the Emperor said so, then it seems like this subject will never be able to get married in this lifetime, so it's not appropriate to say it. This subject looks at the gentle and graceful beauty much more pleasing to my eyes than men.”

The atmosphere had inevitably become awkward. Zhao Shiqian looked at her with an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

”Zi Xi...”

”Your majesty, this subject has something to report.”

She was purposely trying to change the topic. Zhao Shiqian did not buy into her trick and blocked her off with a single sentence, ”Let's not talk about business today.”

She bitterly swallowed her words, but she was unwilling. She wanted to open her mouth again, but when she saw the emperor's face, she obediently shut her mouth.

Zhao Shiqian looked at her, ”Other than official business, do you have nothing else to say when you're with us?”
