After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 236: Dining?

Qi Wuyou shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself: "Qi Wuyou, ah Qi Wuyou, what important thing did you forget? Why can't I remember it no matter what?"

Every time she tried to explore that forgotten memory, she would feel a sharp pain in her head, forcing her to give up.

So, she stopped dwelling on the memory she could not recall and instead thought of the two newborn children.

At this moment, Lianxiang interrupted Qi Wuyou's thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty wants to ask you if you are willing to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for dinner today."

"Dinner?" Qi Wuyou frowned, and an unpleasant memory immediately emerged in his mind.

She asked in confusion: "Why do we have to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

Lianxiang thought for a moment and replied, "It seems that it was Grand Lady Lu who invited him, and she specifically asked His Majesty to bring you along."

Qi Wuyou frowned, the doubts in her heart deepened. Logically speaking, she had no contact with the Lu family since the last unpleasant incident with them.

Now that Old Lady Lu suddenly invited her to come, what was her intention? Was she going to force her to tell her the whereabouts of the bracelet?

"Go ahead," Qi Wuyou nodded, thinking silently in his heart: As long as I don't speak, there shouldn't be any problem.

Moreover, with Xuan Yelan by my side this time, I don’t think they would dare to do anything to me.

Thinking of this, Qi Wuyou felt a lot more at ease.

When Lianxiang saw that Qi Wuyou agreed, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, then I'll report to His Majesty right away." After that, she left in a hurry.

Qi Wuyou looked at Lianxiang's receding back, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called her: "Wait!"

Upon hearing this, Lianxiang hurriedly stopped and turned around: "My Queen, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Qi Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "Just you and He Xiang go with me this time. Also, don't tell Mei Xue."

She thought clearly that if Mei Xue knew about this, she would definitely be very worried.

After all, what happened last time had left her with a considerable psychological trauma, and Qi Wuyou didn't want her to bear such pressure again.

Lianxiang nodded in agreement, then turned and left.

After a while, Lianxiang came back and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is here to pick you up."

Qi Wuyou nodded slightly and let Lianxiang help her wash and dress up.

Afterwards, she took Lianxiang and Hexiang to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

As for Mei Xue, Qi Wuyou simply said that he was bored staying in the palace and wanted to go out for a walk.

Mei Xue did not suspect anything about this. She just told them to return to the palace as soon as possible, and then turned around and continued to concentrate on handling various affairs in the palace.

What was different from the last time was that this time when Qi Wuyou arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Old Lady Lu personally led all the Lu family members, young and old, to go out and greet him.

These people had basically been seen last time, but there was a young man whom Qi Wuyou had never seen before.

He has a tall stature, handsome face, clear and bright eyes, and exudes a unique temperament.

But the young man following behind Lu Yuqi must be his son.

When Qi Wuyou saw how respectful the whole family was to Xuan Yelan, he sighed silently. It seemed that everyone liked to treat people differently.

The last time she came by herself, not only was no one there to greet her, she was almost thrown out.

When Old Lady Lu saluted Qi Wuyou, Qi Wuyou returned the salute with a smile, his attitude respectful, polite yet distant.

For some reason, Qi Wuyou felt that the old lady Lu in front of him seemed a little unhappy.

She frowned, confused.

Is it because my attitude is not enthusiastic enough? Or is she dissatisfied with herself?

Qi Wuyou was confused. Didn't she ask him to come? Why was she unhappy?

The dining area was a large 8-person table with at least twenty kinds of dishes on it.

The dishes are dazzling, delicious and mouth-watering.

The Lu family does not have those rules of not talking while eating or sleeping, so the Duke of Zhenguo and Xuan Yelan had a very pleasant conversation.

They talked about the general situation in the world and the security of the country, and the topics were broad and in-depth.

Qi Wuyou just sat aside and listened quietly, eating whatever Lianxiang and Hexiang picked for him.

Old Madam Lu looked at her several times, which was all seen by Qi Wuyou inadvertently.

However, every time Old Madam Lu was about to speak, Qi Wuyou lowered his head to avoid looking at her.

Except for Xuan Yelan and Zhenguo Gong, no one spoke at the dinner table, but their eyes always unconsciously looked at Qi Wuyou who was eating quietly.

"Empress," Madam Lu said in a gentle tone, smiling, "Does this meal suit your taste?"

"It's delicious," Qi Wuyou replied with a smile. I don't know if it was to accommodate Qi Wuyou, but there were several Qi dishes on the table.

Although they said so, Lianxiang and Hexiang took into consideration that she was outside at the time and served her dishes that she could reach. Qi Wuyou didn't eat any of the dishes that were placed far away.

Mrs. Lu happened to be sitting opposite Qi Wuyou. Seeing this, she quickly used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of food for Qi Wuyou and put it in the bowl in front of Qi Wuyou.

"This steamed sea bass is delicious, Your Majesty, please try it." Madam Lu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Madam Lu." Qi Wuyou looked up and smiled at Madam Lu.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite. We are all family." Madam Lu said gently.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are a distinguished guest of our family, so there is no need to be so reserved." Old Madam Lu also said with a smile.

Qi Wuyou nodded, then lowered his head and started eating the fish.

"This fish is so delicious." Qi Wuyou praised.

"This was made by the chef in our house. His cooking skills are always very good." Mrs. Lu said.

"Then I'll have to eat more." Qi Wuyou said as he picked up another piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

"Okay, as long as the Queen likes it, we will ask the chef to cook for you every day." said Mrs. Lu.

Qi Wuyou smiled and continued to eat fish with his head down.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became harmonious, and everyone started chatting, no longer as reserved as at the beginning.

"Your Majesty," Lianxiang seemed to want to say something, but was stopped in time by Qi Wuyou.

Lianxiang looked at Qi Wuyou with a trace of resentment and worry on her face, and muttered to herself in her heart: Really, this is the Queen Mother, what if someone poisons her?

Qi Wuyou gave her a soothing look in response and thought: Really, even Xuan Yelan is not that delicate. If Old Madam Lu saw me being so delicate, who knows what she would say.

However, Lianxiang's movements still caught the attention of others at the table.

Mrs. Lu also understood the reason at this time and felt a little embarrassed.

Qi Wuyou raised his eyes and looked over, and sure enough, he saw that Old Lady Lu's face was not looking good.

She secretly pulled Lianxiang's skirt gently under the table, signaling her not to get too excited.

After all, it would be fine if these people didn't care about it.

But if they get angry about this and even ignore Xuan Yelan's face and insist on kicking her out, that would be troublesome.
