Chapter 640: The Orphan Girl Whose Husband Died Flying to a Branch 21
"I don't eat. I can eat enough when I work every day, and I have food to eat when I return home. You don't have to worry about me."
Azhi held the chicken leg but was reluctant to eat it.
She looked at Xiao Luofeng with a blushing face and some embarrassment.
"Tell me the truth, at your age, you still haven't married or had children?"
After spending several days together, Azhi still managed to get Xiao Luofeng's age.
Judging from his appearance alone, Xiao Luofeng doesn't look like he is in his early thirties, at most he is in his early twenties.
There was not a single white strand in his jet-black hair. If it were someone else in their early thirties, they would definitely have white hair, but Xiao Luofeng's hair was still jet-black.
However, Xiao Luofeng did not mention whether he had married.
Xiao Luofeng didn't expect Azhi to ask about his marriage.
Thinking of his late queen who had died five years ago, he answered Azhi earnestly, "My family is quite wealthy. My family arranged a marriage for me a long time ago, but my wife passed away early, so I have not remarried in these years."
Xiao Luofeng did not choose to hide the existence of the late queen.
If you have had a wife, you have had a wife; if you don’t have a wife, you don’t have a wife.
Even though he had some feelings about Azhi, it was not to the point of lying to her.
At this time, Azhi nodded and asked curiously, "Do you love her?"
Xiao Luofeng frowned and shook his head at the love that Azhi mentioned.
"No love, it's a marriage arranged by parents and matchmakers, it's a marriage between people of equal social status, there's no such thing as love as you say, but after all, they are a young couple, so there is still some affection along the way."
"I didn't expect you to have so much experience."
Ah Zhi pouted and approached Xiao Luofeng and said directly, "Then I will ask you a question now, and you must answer me truthfully."
The pair of eyes staring straight at me are simply the clearest in the world, making it difficult for me to look away.
Xiao Luofeng couldn't refuse the other party.
He just nodded slightly.
"Okay, just ask."
"You always send me delicious food and often come to talk to me. Do you like me?"
Is this a straight shot?
Xiao Luofeng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Azhi to be so direct.
For some reason, his breathing quickened and his heartbeat was deafening, making him swallow subconsciously.
Do you like it? I think so.
Xiao Luofeng had never felt so nervous when facing other women in the palace before.
Even for Xu Ziyuan, who saved his life, he never liked her very much. He just thought that they got along well, so he naturally favored her more often.
Only when facing Azhi did he have an indescribable feeling, he thought about her all the time.
Even if he saw irrelevant people doing irrelevant things, he could always think of Ah Zhi and couldn't help wondering what she was doing.
That's why he came overnight with the pastries.
During the day, he caught a glimpse of the cakes on the table and thought that Ah Zhi would definitely like them, so he asked Eunuch Kang Gui to prepare them and bring them over in the evening.
Seeing Xiao Luofeng lost in thought, Azhi stuffed the chicken leg into his hand, and her eyes immediately turned red with a look of aggrieved.
"What do you mean by not answering me? I've already said this, but you're still standing there in a daze. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Since ancient times, men have always expressed their feelings to women. I took the initiative to ask if you like it, why don't you answer me? Even if you don't like it, you should at least give me a happy ending and don't leave me alone."
The chicken drumstick in his hand was a little greasy, but Xiao Luofeng, who always liked cleanliness, did not dislike it for the first time.
He looked up at Ah Zhi and said, "Do you like me?"
"Shut up. I asked you the question first. Why do you ask me now?"
Even though Ahzhi's eyes were red and she felt very aggrieved, she still did not forget to get angry at Xiao Luofeng.
This made Xiao Luofeng sigh helplessly, "I have never liked anyone else, but my feelings towards you are very strange. I always think about you every day."
"When I met other palace maids, I couldn't help wondering what you were doing. Today, I got chicken legs and cakes, so I thought of sending them to you. You will be very happy to get these delicious foods, and I don't want you to be wronged."
These were Xiao Luofeng's true thoughts, and he said them word for word.
Azhi was stunned, his eyes were full of emotion.
But before she could say anything in response to Xiao Luofeng, the other party continued, "But I know one thing, you are a palace maid, I am a guard, there is no result between you and me."
When Azhi heard Xiao Luofeng say that there was no result, he immediately became anxious.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How come there is no result? I am eighteen years old this year, and I will be twenty-five soon. If I don't have any luck in the palace, I can leave the palace when I turn twenty-five."
"If I'm lucky enough to be appreciated by the master and leave the palace early, or if I ask His Majesty to grant me marriage, I will be able to marry you."
Ah Zhi was imagining the future with an innocent look on her face, and the next second she took the initiative to grab the corner of Xiao Luofeng's clothes with a look of anticipation on her face.
"Actually, I like you too, even though you're old and almost as old as my father. But I still like you, and the guards are good too. Just be safe and sound."
Azhi probably forgot that he had taken the chicken leg.
She left an oil mark on Xiao Luofeng's cuff.
This really made Xiao Luofeng's expression a little stiff, but his attention was quickly diverted.
In the moonlight, Ahzhi's eyes were red and her face was as shy as the sunset.
At this moment, there was only Xiao Luofeng in her eyes. There was no calculation in her eyes, only moving affection.
Xiao Luofeng felt his heart beating faster. Such a love without any mixed interests was so touching.
He said to Ah Zhi in a complicated tone, "I have a wife. My family doesn't have much money, and she is much older than you."
"So what? I am the daughter of a lowly official. You are good-looking and kind to me. I just like you. I want to marry you because I like you. Is that wrong? Do you dislike me?"
Of course not. Ahzhi was also very pretty, prettier than any other girl in the palace, even prettier than the bright white moon in the sky.
Xiao Luofeng sighed, "When you are 25, I will be 40. Aren't you afraid that I will delay you?"
A 25-year-old palace maid can still find someone to marry and live the rest of her life in peace and stability.
But if Ah Zhi waits for me, I will have wasted half my life.
I saw Azhi shaking his head vigorously.
"You are not delaying me. As long as you are willing to wait for me, I will not leave you. Don't worry, I will try my best. If I do this job well, maybe I can get Eunuch Kanggui to say a few good words in front of His Majesty, and we can leave the palace early and reunite."
"Then I will leave the palace and marry you. I will give birth to a child for you the following year. Living a peaceful and stable life is better than anything else."
