"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 79

 Xiao Yi Chen was so angry the veins on his forehead throbbed, lifting his hand to rub his forehead, he called for the secret guard to pay for the clothes, turning he left in a rage, he felt, if he spent too long with Ji Ling Xue, his life would shorten by three years.

The secret guard followed behind Xiao Yi Chen worryingly, his steps were very light, erasing his existence as much as possible.

After walking for a while, Xiao Yi Chen stopped, suddenly asking: "Which direction did Ji Ling Xue head towards?"

Deliberately getting rid of him, she must have a secret!

The secret guard carefully replied: "It looked like in the direction of the palace."

Xiao Yi Chen frowned, somewhat suspicious of why Ji Ling Xue had energetically entered the palace, turning his head he glanced in the direction of the palace, then headed back to the residence.

The secret guard stroked his head, somewhat unable to make out what his master was thinking, following Xiao Yi Chen even more solemnly.

Inside the palace, Ji Ling Xue crouched on the floor, rubbing the empress dowager's leg sucking up, the empress dowager was so relaxed she leaned on the back of the chair with her eyes closed.

"Xue Er you girl...what matter do you need me to help with?"

Ginger get spicier as it gets older, the empress dowager who had lived her life to the fullest could tell what Ji Ling Xue was thinking.

Ji Ling Xue stuck out her tongue, lovably saying: "Empress dowager is wise, you could tell my thoughts just with a glance, I do indeed want to ask for something from the empress dowager."

The empress dowager opened her perceptive eyes staring at Ji Ling Xue's charming smiling face for a second, nodding she said: "Tell me, what do you want?"

Ji Ling Xue laughed: "I want the emperor's imperial calligraphy, can empress dowager help me?" Finished speaking she reached out to tug at the empress dowager's sleeve, her spoiled act and fawning very successfully let the empress dowager relax.

"Who am I, of course I can help with such a small matter." As she spoke she reached out to help Ji Ling Xue stand up, patting the back of her hand, immediately ordering her personal elderly maid to invite Xiao Yi Mo over.

Xiao Yi Mo's impression of Ji Ling Xue from the mid-autumn festival was rather good, hearing she had come asking for calligraphy, without saying anything further he abandoned the memorials and hurried to the empress dowager's palace hall.

The empress dowager waved at Xiao YI Mo, indicating for him to come to her side, the four treasures of the study1 had already been laid out on the small table beside her.

Xiao Yi Mo bent over slightly, rolling up his sleeves he picked up the brush asking Ji Ling Xue: "What words do you want?"

Ji Ling Xue said: "Qingfengyashe."2

Xiao Yi Mo raised an eyebrow, "Is this a teahouse or restaurant?" As he asked, his hand moved.

Ji Ling Xue very honestly replied, "It's a restaurant, it's a little out of the way, coming specifically to ask for your majesty's imperial calligraphy is to raise interest in the city."

Having heard what was said Xiao Yi Mo's lips twitched, very soon he finished writing, giving it a blow he passed it over to Ji Ling Xue, "You've already dragged us into your restaurant business, you ought to know we do not give out treasured calligraphy for free."

JI Ling Xue said: "Many thanks your majesty, if your majesty doesn't object, I can make a few dishes for your majesty to try?2

Xiao Yi Mo expressed his satisfaction at Ji Ling Xue's offer, "Fine, we feel a bit peckish right now, I look forward to your cooking."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, then thought of something, saying to Xiao Yi Mo: "The matter of me asking for calligraphy, can your majesty and the empress dowager keep it a secret for me."

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, so long as he stomach was satisfied, anything else was not a problem.

The empress dowager said: "Xue Er, you've been interested in cooking since you were young, I'm also looking forward to your cooking."

Ji Ling Xue: E...the two most powerful people in Dongqi were actually foodies?

Ji Ling Xue followed the elderly maid to the imperial kitchen, she touched the calligraphy against the chest feeling her blood rush, if she could also get imperial customers, she could sit there counting silvers until her hands go limp with exhaustion...

The elderly maid said: "Young lady, we've arrived at the imperial kitchen."

JI Ling Xue returned to her senses, subconsciously wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth she nodded and thanked the elderly maid, "Thank you for your trouble."
