This atmosphere was truly bizarre. Xu Ci felt that the majestic Emperor, surprisingly, disregarded his dignity.
The Emperor personally peeled a shrimp and placed it into Shen Ruoxi's bowl. Watching this scene, she felt as if it was a farce, finding herself unable to eat, yet unable not to eat.
"Ruoxi, you are a guest. Cousin will peel one for you too."
Shen Ruoxi saw Xu Ci helping her out of the situation, and a faint smile appeared on her face, "Thank you, cousin."
The Emperor originally wanted to say that she was no guest, but he changed his mind, knowing he couldn't be too obvious at this moment, so he just said, "Eat!"
Shen Ruoxi gritted her teeth, ate the shrimp, then had some meatballs before stopping.
"Is the child in your stomach causing you trouble?" Xu Ci attempted to find a topic to break the slightly oppressive atmosphere.
