Gu Yanyue went to see Yu Wenran and found that he had dark circles under his eyes, making him look like a panda. Sure enough, his talk about cooking and wanting to have a midnight snack was all a lie to her.

Because he didn't sleep well, Yuwen Ran is now somewhat irritable. He has been suffering from insomnia recently and has taken the medicine given by the imperial physician, but the situation has not improved. Instead, it has become worse.

Gu Yanyue looked at Yu Wenran and knew that he was probably overthinking and suffering from insomnia.

He is an emperor with no power and has to deal with so many things. It would be strange if he didn't suffer from insomnia.

Yuwen Ran looked at the memorial, but he was not quite convinced. He felt irritated and wanted to lose his temper. He turned around and saw Gu Yanyue looking at him. He forced himself to suppress his anger and asked, "When did the Queen come back? What happened?"

Gu Yanyue originally came to see Yuwen Ran simply, but when he asked, it seemed as if she had some purpose. Gu Yanyue smiled and said, "I missed Your Majesty and came to see Your Majesty. Now that I'm done, goodbye!" After saying that, she ran away, leaving Yuwen Ran alone, a little confused.

Gu Yanyue left in a hurry, but suddenly thought of what she should do for Yu Wenran.

A soothing soup.

Looking at his condition, his body won't be able to bear it any longer.

And she has to take care of this financial sponsor, as she may need his help in her business in the future.

Thinking of this, she quickly ran to the small kitchen and started to make dumpling soup for Yuwen Ran. After all the herbs were cooked, she added lily and longan, which are good ingredients for calming the nerves.

Looking at the finished dumpling soup, Gu Yanyue frowned. She thought it had been a long time since she had made this authentic snack, so it didn't look very good. It seemed that she would have to improve it later.

So he took the dumpling soup to find Yuwen Ran.

"Your Majesty, please try this. I guarantee that it is absolutely delicious." Gu Yanyue looked for praise. Yuwen Ran looked at the mushy dumpling soup and had no appetite. This thing looked a little disgusting, but he didn't want to disappoint Gu Yanyue, so Yuwen Ran carefully scooped a spoonful.

It melts in your mouth, is sweet but not greasy, and has a hint of lily fragrance!

Yu Wen Ran was a little surprised that this disgusting-looking thing was so delicious. He unconsciously took another sip and said, "Not bad, delicious!" Yu Wen Ran praised it highly and then gobbled up a big bowl of it in no time.

Gu Yanyue looked at Yu Wenran and complained in her heart. Didn’t she just complain that she was ugly?

"Ayue, can you make another bowl?" Yuwen Ran no longer called Gu Yanyue the Queen, but called her "Ayue" again.

His voice was already magnetic, and now it had a childish, coquettish tone, and Gu Yanyue was actually a little confused.

"Didn't you think it was ugly just now?" Gu Yanyue quickly came to her senses.

"No!"

"I can see the expression on your face clearly." Gu Yanyue said. Yu Wenran was exposed and felt a little embarrassed, but he was still stubborn and refused to admit that he thought the dumpling soup was ugly at first. "No!" After that, he asked Gu Yanyue to make another bowl.

Gu Yanyue estimated that the time was almost up, so she changed the subject and chatted with Yuwen Ran for a long time. Yuwen Ran yawned and said, "Stop arguing. I'm sleepy."

After saying this, Yu Wenran stopped talking to Gu Yanyue, leaned on Gu Yanyue, and fell asleep.

Gu Yanyue was confused as she bore Yu Wenran's weight. She just complained in her heart that she was really capable.

Ever since I started finding different ways to cook for Yu Wenran, he has gained a lot of weight, and now he feels a little heavy leaning on me.

But it doesn't affect Yu Wenran's handsomeness at all. I have to say, this man is really handsome.

Gu Yanyue asked the eunuchs to help Yuwen Ran onto the bed. Looking outside, it was getting late and it was time for her to rest. "Take good care of His Majesty."

After giving some instructions to the eunuchs and palace maids, Gu Yanyue returned to her own bedroom.

The next day, before Gu Yanyue woke up, she was woken by her personal maid, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!"

Gu Yanyue was pulled up by her personal maid while she was in a daze, and taken to the mirror to dress up. She was full of resentment in her heart. What was Yu Wenran, that bastard, doing here in the morning instead of attending the court?

After some trouble, Gu Yanyue woke up, reported to the palace maid and sent her away. She tidied herself up and came out.

It was rare for Yu Wenran to see Gu Yanyue like this. In his impression, Gu Yanyue always dressed very seductively. Although Gu Yanyue seemed to have changed a lot in recent days, she was no longer as clingy to him as before, and even her behavior had changed a lot. Her excellent cooking skills surprised him even more.

However, after investigating, he did not find anything wrong. The key point was that the meals made by this girl were really good for her body, and they were so delicious that people could not resist the temptation.

"I wonder what Your Majesty wants to talk to me about?" Gu Yanyue looked drowsy.

"I plan to hold a cooking competition in the palace. Concubines, maids, and eunuchs can all participate. I will pick out the best cook and share the treasures with them."

"Well, Your Majesty, please continue." Gu Yanyue tried hard to open her eyes and looked at Yu Wenran, just hoping that he would speak faster, as she was really sleepy.

"I want the Queen to be a judge." Yuwen Ran stated his purpose. Gu Yanyue suddenly woke up from her sleepiness and looked at Yuwen Ran, "Your Majesty, are you serious?" She didn't want to be a judge, but looking at Yuwen Ran's expression, she knew that he was just here to inform her, not to ask for her opinion.

"I am the emperor, my words are law! Doesn't the Queen agree?" Yuwen Ran said.

Gu Yanyue forced a smile and said, "Yes." Just like that, Gu Yanyue was dragged to the competition venue by Yu Wenran.

The palace was quite efficient, and soon many people came to sign up. However, they all wanted to take advantage of this competition to have a chance to meet the emperor.

Instead, Gu Yanyue was the final judge. With nothing to do for the time being, she just sat there in a daze.

Gu Yanyue felt a little headache when she thought about the fact that her restaurant had not added any new dishes for a long time. Suddenly, she had an idea and wanted to make dumpling soup a new dish.

Insomnia has been extremely common throughout history, so this dish should still have good sales.

What's more, medicine and food have the same origin, and you can maintain your health while eating. This benefit is still very attractive. Maybe I can come up with a series of medicine and food with the same origin?

With the idea in mind, Gu Yanyue just wanted to leave and rush to the restaurant to teach the chefs how to make this soup.

It looked like the review stage wouldn't be here for a while. Over there, Yu Wenran, a preliminary judge, was enjoying his meal. Gu Yanyue finally understood that Yu Wenran had organized this cooking competition just to satisfy his taste buds...

Ever since Gu Yanyue corrected Yu Wenran's anorexia with her own cooking, she discovered that Yu Wenran was a foodie.

Gu Yanyue sighed inwardly, slipped out of the palace quietly, and anxiously rushed to her own restaurant, where she handed the recipe for the dumpling soup, which had a calming effect, to the chefs.

After seeing that the samples made by the chefs were pretty good, Gu Yanyue gave the chefs and waiters a few more instructions, then hurried away and returned to the palace.

Fortunately, they arrived in time, and Gu Yanyue's departure from the palace did not attract much attention.
