Chapter 955: Slightly Better

Seeing the emperor so anxious, Concubine Jing rolled her eyes speechlessly, but still went to the stove.

He shaved off a piece of mutton with a knife, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and his lips curled up in pleasure.

“………………”

What a nice smell! I don’t know what ingredients my daughter-in-law used to marinate it. Why can’t the chefs in the palace make this taste?

Seeing Xiaohua eating the food bite by bite, the emperor frowned anxiously.

"Is it cooked or not?"

"Hmm..." Concubine Jing continued to chew the mutton in her mouth. Before she could say anything, she saw the emperor reaching out his hand impatiently.

Seeing how Xiaohua was eating it with such relish, the mutton must be cooked.

"Your Majesty, please be careful of the burns!"

Eunuch Li came over to help in a hurry. Seeing the emperor so anxious, it seemed as if he had never eaten roasted lamb before.

But I have to admit that the mutton sent by King Chen is indeed very fragrant.

Concubine Jing had just finished eating the mutton in her mouth when she saw that the emperor had already cut off such a large piece, and she rolled her eyes again.

"What's the rush?"

He is the emperor after all. He is as anxious as a monkey and is not afraid of being laughed at by his servants.

The emperor didn't care about that. He just wanted to get the barbecue into his mouth quickly.

I cut a piece of mutton with a knife and put it in my mouth, and my mood immediately improved.

No wonder Xiaohua was too lazy to reply to herself while eating. This roasted lamb was indeed delicious, much more fragrant than any time she had eaten it before.

Seeing that the emperor had started eating, Concubine Jing was not willing to be outdone. Without waiting for Nanny Su to reach out, she directly tore off two lamb chops, brought them to the emperor, and sat down opposite him.

He rolled up his sleeves again, picked up the lamb chops and started eating. There were no outsiders in the palace anyway, so he didn't need to be so particular.

Seeing Xiaohua humming while eating, the emperor looked over.

"How's your lamb chop?"

Based on my understanding of Xiaohua, she would never eat Hengheng unless she came across something particularly delicious.

“It’s not tasty!”

Concubine Jing rolled her eyes at the emperor and moved the small chair under her butt backwards, as if she was afraid that he would come and snatch it away.

It would have been enough for him to have the lamb leg to eat, but he was still thinking about the lamb chops in her hand.

As soon as I saw Xiaohua eating, I knew that the lamb chops must taste good.

The emperor glared at her in dissatisfaction.

"Let me have a taste!" he said as he came closer.

"No, isn't there more over there?"

Concubine Jing turned her body and pointed at the roasted lamb on the stove. So many people came to grab hers.

The emperor also became excited and insisted on trying the lamb chops in Xiaohua's hand. He stretched out his greasy hands to grab them.

"I'm going to eat yours!"

"No!" Concubine Jing dodged again.

Seeing the emperor and the young lady arguing again, Nanny Su and Nanny Jiang sighed speechlessly.

There are obviously so many on the stove, why does the emperor have to snatch the lady's?

Just as he was about to step forward and say a few words, the Queen's voice came from the door.

"Hey! What are you eating? It smells so good!"

The queen walked into the yard slowly with an air of dignity, sniffing as she walked.

I was wondering what the vixen was eating outside. It smelled so good. Turns out she was roasting lamb.

Concubine Jing was originally in a good mood, but after seeing the Queen, she felt a little unhappy. It really spoiled her mood that she came at this time.

But even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, he still put on a smile on his face and stood up and walked in front of the queen.

"Sister, you're here just in time. Why don't we go together?"

As Concubine Jing spoke, she pointed at the roasted lamb on the stove with the lamb chops in her hand.

Since she had seen it all, I had to give way. I thought she would refuse wisely, but I didn't expect that she actually agreed.

"Okay, since my sister has invited me so kindly, I won't refuse."

The queen came to sit beside the emperor with a smile on her lips, then turned to look at Nanny Zhang beside her.

"Hurry up and serve the hot pot I brought so that His Majesty and my sister can have a taste."

"Hot pot?" Concubine Jing frowned.

Staring straight at the things the queen brought, it was indeed hot pot.

I was just feeling a bit curious, wondering why this woman brought these things. After all, these were nothing new.

And it’s a specialty of Chen’er’s store. I don’t understand what this woman’s intention is.

The emperor also stared at the hot pot in front of him with a look of suspicion, not knowing what the queen meant.

Seeing the emperor and the vixen looking suspicious, the queen pretended not to see anything and picked up the chopsticks in a very good mood.

He added ingredients to the hot pot while talking as if nothing had happened.

"Your Majesty, Lei'er's hot pot restaurant will open tomorrow. I brought a portion for you and your sister to try."

"Hot pot restaurant?" The emperor looked at the queen in confusion, but he had already guessed it in his heart.

Even Concubine Jing beside her had guessed it almost, and curled her lips in sarcasm.

“………………”

This is because he was jealous of Chen'er's hot pot restaurant making money and tried to imitate it.

I just don't know if the formula was obtained from Chen'er. If that's the case, Chen'er was really careless. How could he let them get the formula!

Seeing the fox spirit's furrowed brows, the queen was in a good mood and added a few slices of meat to the hot pot.

"Your Majesty, please try it, this meat is quite fragrant!"

Looking at the slices of meat that the queen added to the bowl, the emperor hesitated for a moment, but still picked up some with his chopsticks.

I took a little sauce and put it in my mouth, chewed it carefully, and the taste was surprisingly the same as Chen'er's hot pot.

Looking at the woman's successful expression, I knew what was going on.

"Your Majesty, how does this taste?"

The queen looked at the emperor in front of her with pride. She had eaten this hot pot before, and it tasted exactly the same as the one in that little bastard's shop.

As soon as Lei'er's hot pot restaurant opens tomorrow, he will make a lot of money.

I was so happy that I didn't even find that vixen so disgusting anymore.

"Sister, come and sit here, you can have a taste too!"

Looking at the woman's smug look, Concubine Jing suppressed her displeasure.

"I appreciate your kindness, sister. I've had enough of hotpot lately. This is the mutton that Chen'er sent me. It's much more delicious than hotpot. How about you try it too?"

Concubine Jing came over and sat down. As she spoke, she shook the lamb chops in her hand and started to eat them without any image.

Just looking at the strength with which Xiaohua was gnawing on the lamb chops, he knew that she was unhappy. The emperor was very good at protecting himself. He pushed the lamb in front of him aside and pulled the roasted lamb in front of him.

"My beloved concubine, you are absolutely right. I also think that this roasted lamb tastes slightly better."

“………………”The queen said nothing.

He was obviously unhappy, but he quickly adjusted his mood and put his chopsticks into the hot pot meaningfully.

"Really? I think this hot pot is better. It's not as hot as barbecue, and it comes with so many vegetables."

As he spoke, he added vegetables and meat to the hot pot with chopsticks one after another, as if he was afraid that there would be some leftovers.

They said this because they were jealous of Lei'er.

This is just the beginning. After Lei'er's shop catches fire tomorrow, we have to hold back our anger.
