Facing Li Chengyuan's sudden accusation, Xiao Hongshen subconsciously furrowed his brows.
What exactly was going on with this woman? She used to be gentle and subtle, why was she now acting like a madwoman?
Having spoken, Li Chengyuan also realized that her words were somewhat inappropriate. She quickly flashed a shallow smile and placed the plate she was holding onto the table.
"It's like this, Your Highness. This servant was just momentarily anxious. Please do not blame me. Come and try the delicacy I have meticulously prepared. It's too hot in Xiliang City. Try these chilled strawberries; they're freshly made and still cool to the touch."
Hearing Li Chengyuan speak like this, Xiao Hongshen's expression showed slight improvement.
He walked over, took the spoon from her hand, scooped up a strawberry from the plate, and put it into his mouth.
Very sweet, so sweet that it was almost cloying.
Indeed very cold.
He did not like sweets.
