Li Yuyu: …
A debt note for a hundred taels of Silver, and you’re this happy?
Dog Emperor, how broke are you!
Li Yuyu rolled her eyes secretly, thinking she absolutely couldn’t let the Dog Emperor find out about the gold and Silver hidden in her bedroom.
“Emperor, are you hungry?” Li Yuyu asked, pinching her voice.
Yan Xiu lifted his phoenix eyes to glance at her, naturally folding the note written by Li Yuyu and tucking it into his robe: “Does my beloved concubine want to have dinner?”
Li Yuyu: “Not really, I’ve eaten too many snacks and I’m not hungry.
But if the Emperor is hungry, why not go have dinner?”
“No rush.”
“Rush, how can you not rush?
People are like iron, food is like steel; skipping a meal makes you hungry.
Emperor, you are the Emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty, you can’t skip dinner.” Li Yuyu said, taking Yan Xiu’s arm to turn him towards the stairs: “I…
I humbly send off the Emperor.”
Standing beside the stairs, Li Yuyu imitated the way concubines saluted the Emperor on TV.
Yan Xiu raised an eyebrow.
Why has the little concubine suddenly started caring about his health?
Something is definitely fishy.
Yan Xiu observed Li Yuyu calmly, finally discovering something unusual.
“These…”
“Ah, these are all my personal clothes, not gold!” Li Yuyu dashed over like a gust of wind, tilting slightly as she spread her arms in front of the reddish-brown box.
Yan Xiu: …
Li Yuyu: …
Damn!
What was she saying, wasn’t this a clear admission of guilt?
Cough.
Li Yuyu stood upright and faced Yan Xiu’s amused eyes, trying to salvage the situation: “Emperor, I’m hungry, let’s go eat.”
Yan Xiu: …
On the table was a sumptuous dinner.
Hua Yin and Feng Yin attended to Yan Xiu and Li Yuyu as they washed their hands.
When the harem concubines dined with the Emperor, they were supposed to serve him, but this rule didn’t apply in Luaxin Pavilion, and Hua Yin had gone from being anxious at first to being perfectly at ease.
Before the little eunuch could taste the dishes, Li Yuyu had already sat down and started eating.
The eunuch for tasting: …
He stood there awkwardly; it wasn’t appropriate to eat or not eat.
Shen Quan glanced at Yan Xiu’s expression and waved the little eunuch away.
“Wow, this braised meat is so delicious, Emperor, you have to try it.” Li Yuyu placed a piece of the braised meat she had just tasted onto a plate in front of Yan Xiu.
Shen Quan was shocked: “Concubine, you mustn’t…”
“Hmm?” Li Yuyu looked up at him in confusion: “Doesn’t the Emperor like braised meat?”
“I love it.” Yan Xiu picked up that piece of meat and ate it.
Shen Quan: …
Lady Li used her own chopsticks to serve the Emperor food, and not only did the Emperor not get angry, but he actually ate it?
He ate it!
What did the Emperor say when Noble Lady Ying brought the soup she made herself for him to drink?
“Bringing something that’s been tainted by someone else’s breath for me to drink?
Pour it away.”
And now?
Indeed, in front of Lady Li, all of the Emperor’s unreasonable behaviors become reasonable.
Shen Quan decided to keep his eyes and mind to himself, closing all mental doors.
“This fish is also delicious, what’s it called?”
“Replying to the Concubine, it’s Gui Zhi fish.” Hua Yin stepped forward.
“So delicious, I want to eat it again tomorrow,” Li Yuyu said.
Hua Yin looked at Yan Xiu.
This was specially prepared by the Imperial Kitchen for the Emperor.
If it were requested separately for the Concubine, the kitchen might not make it.
“Shen Quan.” Yan Xiu said deeply: “From now on, the meals in Luaxin Pavilion should be the same as mine.”
“Yes, I will give the orders right away.” Shen Quan showed an expression of unsurprise.
“You all may leave now,” Yan Xiu added: “No need to make a fuss.”
