Chapter 124: Food Temptation (2)
Jiuer walked lightly to the door of the imperial study and saw the familiar figure from afar - Xingye. He stood there straight, motionless like a sculpture.
Walking closer, Jiuer said softly, "Master Xingye, this is a snack that the Queen prepared carefully. She asked me to bring it to the Emperor for him to taste. Please pass it on."
Xingye smiled and nodded, took the basket from Jiuer, and thanked her: "Thank you for your help."
"The Queen Mother specifically instructed that the Emperor must enjoy it while it's hot." Jiuer added.
After the things were delivered, Jiuer turned and left. Xingye walked into the imperial study room carrying the basket.
"Your Majesty, this is the snack that the Queen specially prepared for you." Xingye said respectfully.
Xiao Chuhan looked up at the door, but he didn't see Lan Xi. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He frowned and asked, "Why didn't she deliver it herself?"
"Your Majesty, it was sent by Miss Jiuer who is beside the Queen. I have not seen the Queen herself." Xingye answered truthfully.
Upon hearing that Lan Xi did not come, Xiao Chuhan became even more depressed.
"Your Majesty, Miss Jiuer also said that the Queen Mother instructed that these snacks must be eaten while hot, so that they taste better." Xingye continued to report.
"Open it." Xiao Chuhan ordered in a calm tone.
Xingye carefully opened the lid and took out the snacks that Lanxi had carefully prepared and placed them on the table one by one.
"Your Majesty, please enjoy your meal." Xingye stood with his head lowered, quietly waiting for Xiao Chuhan's instructions.
However, looking at the strange-looking food in front of him, Xiao Chuhan looked puzzled and asked hesitantly: "Xingye, are you sure this is edible?"
"Why can't I eat it, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Chuhan looked at Xingye suspiciously, and was left in a state of confusion by his reply.
He thought to himself: "Does this guy know anything about food?" With full of doubts, Xiao Chuhan decided to try it himself.
He carefully picked up the chopsticks, picked up the fried skewers and put them into his mouth. After chewing a few times, the unique spicy taste instantly spread in his mouth, making him open his eyes wide. Then, he ate several more mouthfuls in a row, and the more he ate, the more delicious it tasted, as if he had discovered a new world.
Although the appearance of these fried skewers looked a bit strange, their taste was really amazing, spicy to the right degree, and it was unforgettable. Not long after, Xiao Chuhan ate up all the fried skewers made by Lan Xi like a whirlwind.
Xing Ye stared at the emperor who was wolfing down the food in front of him in amazement, and secretly sighed in his heart: "It's rare to see the emperor love a certain food so much. The queen's cooking skills must be extraordinary. It's a pity that I can't enjoy this delicacy..."
"Your Majesty, is it delicious?" Xingye couldn't help but ask when Xiao Chuhan put down his chopsticks.
"Yeah, delicious, delicious!"
Xiao Chuhan nodded with satisfaction, and a rare smile appeared on his usually stern face. He never hesitated to praise beautiful things, good is good, bad is bad. However, sometimes, when dealing with emotional issues, Xiao Chuhan would lose his usual rationality and decisiveness. He would rather trust those insignificant outsiders than easily trust the people closest to him. Perhaps it was because he cared too much that he became so sensitive and fragile in front of emotions.
Lan Xi returned to the Jingxin Palace and collapsed on the bed like a puddle of mud. After a while, Jiuer came over with light steps, came to Lan Xi and whispered: "My queen, Jiuer is back."
After being busy for an entire afternoon, Lan Xi was now exhausted and was too lazy to even move a finger.
After hearing Jiuer's voice, Lan Xi reluctantly turned her head and looked at Jiuer standing beside the bed, and asked weakly, "Has the stuff been delivered?"
"In reply to Your Majesty, Jiuer rushed back immediately after delivering the message to the Emperor." Jiuer replied with lowered eyebrows.
"Well, just send it off. Jiuer, I'm very tired now and want to rest for a while. You go down first." Lan Xi said as she closed her eyes.
"Yes, my queen. If you need anything, just call me." Jiuer replied softly, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Lan Xi seemed to remember something and spoke again: "Oh, by the way! No need to prepare dinner tonight, I'm too full. Now, my only thought is to have a good sleep."
"Okay, your majesty. You can rest assured." After receiving the instructions, Jiuer quietly left the room and closed the door.
Lan Xi didn't know how long she slept, she just felt that she slept very soundly and sweetly. On the other side, Xiao Chuhan, who had just finished dealing with busy government affairs, didn't even have time to rest, and walked quickly towards the Jingxin Hall impatiently.
At this moment, Xiao Chuhan had an indescribable urge in his heart. He urgently wanted to see Lan Xi immediately. The desire to see Lan Xi became stronger and stronger, and he himself didn't know why he had this idea.
