Chapter 253 - Tsk, This Little Mouth is Really Sweet (1/2)

Gong Moran asked her, “In the daytime, this Lord let you drink tea to quench your thirst, why didn’t you drink it? It’s alright that your flowery words deceived others, but this Lord doesn’t believe it.”

Nan Xun coughed and laughed dryly, “My Lord really knows me best, one cup of tea really just can’t quench my thirst, if I have to drink, then I want to drink as much as I want, since I can’t drink to my heart’s content, then I should just simply bear it until the end.”

Saying this, Nan Xun’s two hands supported her jaw, while her elbows propped on the table, crawling up beside Gong Moran closer and closer until her small face was placed in front of his, she said in a low voice, “My Lord, in fact, the most important reason is that I didn’t want to bring trouble to my Lord, I don’t want other people to have complaints towards my Lord and gossip about.”

Gong Moran knocked her head, “You’re sensible at that time, but how come you’re not showing respect to this Lord in other times?”

Nan Xun ‘hehe’ laughed, “Aren’t we inside our own room? Of course, there’s no need to be polite like when we’re outside ah.”

“Duoduo.” Gong Moran suddenly called her.

“En? What’s wrong, my Lord?”

“You’re not scared by those assassins?”

“I was scared at first, I was scared that they could hurt my Lord, but then my fear is unnecessary because I found out that my Lord is so awesome, those many assassins just couldn’t make a scratch on you.”

Gong Moran couldn’t help but rubbed the space between his eyebrows, sighing once, “I was asking about yourself.”

Nan Xun’s expression was as if she just got a sudden realization, “I didn’t think that much, anyway, I just want to live and die with my Lord.”

Little Eight clicked his tongue, “Tsk, this little mouth is really sweet.”

The two of them hadn’t talked much when a shrill voice from an eunuch shouted that the emperor arrived.

When the old monarch heard about assassins attacking State Teacher, he hurriedly came over, the worry on his face wasn’t a pretend.

Nan Xun waited at the outer hall, hearing indistinct voices of that old monarch’s inquiring about the master of the inner hall’s wellbeing.

Feeling dull, Nan Xun simply went to the small kitchen to cook.

Nan Xun brewed a big cauldron of white congee, when it was about to be cooked, she put in a few pieces of cut green beans, infusing the congee with its delicate fragrance, not only tasty and refreshing, but also dispelling heat.

Nan Xun didn’t make pastry today; she was prompted by a sudden impulse as she abruptly baked large pancakes. [flat bread]

Flatten the dough until thin, fill the inside with beaten egg, chopped green onion and sweet carrot that were stirred evenly, then immediately turn it upside down inside the wok that has been slathered with oil, when it’s just about right, turn it over and wait until it was baked with a golden color. Nan Xun scooped out her large pancakes and sliced them to strips, stacking them on a plate repeatedly.

At this moment, the old monarch was almost finished with his visit, so Nan Xun took the pancake and porridge she made to serve it for the big boss.

“My Lord, I just made pancake and porridge, will you eat them with me?” Nan Xun looked at him expectantly.

Before the other party said any refusal, Nan Xun handed a bowl and chopstick to him.

Gong Moran didn’t refuse, he ate a lot of delicacies in the palace, so when he saw these homely meals made by the little girl, he also had an appetite and took his chopsticks and pinched a slice of pancake.

Nan Xun looked at him with a delightful smile, then saw him taking a bite on her pancake, stiffened for a while first before continued chewing without changing his face.

Nan Xun’s smile became even sweeter, “My Lord, how does it taste?”

Gong Moran nodded slightly, “Not bad.”

He said ‘not bad’ but he didn’t take a second piece, only picking up a bowl of porridge.

The taste of porridge seemed to suit him better, he drank the whole bowl in just a short moment.

“My Lord, rest early tonight, you still have to do the ‘sacrifice to heaven and pray for blessings’ ritual tomorrow morning.” Nan Xun said, consciously starting to clean up the dishes.
