Chapter 68 Goodbye Emperor (18)

Li Mu caught Shi Jiu's unnatural moment just now, a smile flashed across his eyes, he picked up his chopsticks and gave Shi Jiu a piece of meat.

Shi Jiu paused, and said thank you in a low voice.

Li Mu couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard it.

Afterwards, Li Mu smiled throughout the meal, which made Xiao Lizi who had been waiting by the side uncomfortable. After all, the emperor rarely showed his emotions like this.

After the meal, Shi Jiu sat on a chair and drank tea to digest his food. He watched the maids rush in and out to clear the table, but he didn't look at Li Mu.

Li Mu was not in a hurry, and waited for her to finish drinking a cup of chrysanthemum tea before asking, "Do you want to go out for a walk with me?"

Shi Jiu paused and stood up: "Let's go."

The corner of Li Mu's mouth curled up into a smile, and walked out the door side by side with her.

Xiao Lizi watched them go out with a smile, stopped the maid who wanted to follow closely, and said in a low voice: "We just follow from a distance."

The maid nodded.

Li Mu and Shi Jiu walked forward in silence, and walked to the Imperial Garden.

Li Mu is used to others taking the initiative to him, but now he is not used to being asked to take the initiative.

But after thinking about it, he decided to take the initiative to find a topic: "I heard that you came to the Imperial Garden to cut flowers that day. What kind of flowers do you like? I'll ask someone to move them into your yard."

It was a little awkward for Shi Jiu to go with him, but now it is even more embarrassing to hear him mention that she secretly cut flowers that day.

Has all this matter reached his ears?
"I was actually on a whim." Shi Jiu showed an awkward yet polite smile.

Li Mu didn't see it, and continued: "Do you think peony is good? Or lotus?"

Shi Jiu stopped, and Li Mu also stopped, looking at her suspiciously.

Shi Jiu was helpless: "I don't want any flowers, will I come to the Imperial Garden if I want them?"

Li Mu understood: "Then I will issue an imperial decree in a while, and you can cut the flowers in the garden as you like."

Shi Jiu: "..." This person is not black-bellied, he really doesn't understand what she means! !

"Don't worry, that concubine Li has already been sent back to my mother's place by me, so you don't have to worry about her making trouble for you." Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Mu continued to add.

Shi Jiu felt helpless.

Is this the point? !Can't he feel her embarrassment at all? !

Shi Jiu glared at him, turned around and left.

Li Mu finally saw that she was angry this time, and reached out to grab her arm to prevent her from leaving.

Li Mu didn't know why Shi Jiu was angry, but he knew it must be because of what he said just now, so he avoided the topic just now when he spoke this time.

"There are carp in the pond in the imperial garden, do you want to go fishing? It's still cool at night by the water, if you can catch fish, I will ask the imperial dining room to cook spicy fish for you tomorrow."

Shi Jiu turned his head, and there was a little interest in his eyes.

"Is the fish big? Is it easy to catch?"

Li Mu saw that she seemed to be interested, and smiled: "The fish are well raised and fat, I asked someone to prepare something."

Shi Jiu nodded, finally showing a happy smile on his face: "Then let the imperial dining room prepare some snacks for me by the way? I want to eat while fishing."

"Okay." Li Mu replied with gentle eyes, and then called Xiao Lizi to come over and give some instructions.

Xiao Lizi quickly prepared everything and asked someone to bring it over, including some snacks for Shijiu to eat.

Small snacks and cumin beef jerky are always prepared in the imperial dining room, and the fragrant wine is served and the fishing rod is set up to start eating.
