After reading it, she was very calm.
Isn't it just that her clothes got messed up when she slept, and the area below her collarbone is exposed? This is much less exposed than when she wears a tube top dress in modern times!
She was tidying up her clothes while looking at Feng Changye.
Tsk, that ignorant feudal emperor, if he were to go to modern times, he wouldn’t know where to put his eyes, right?
She straightened her clothes, then stood up and bowed, "I just woke up and lost my composure. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"..." The ignorant feudal emperor Feng Changye narrowed his eyes and looked at her, with anger brewing in his eyes.
This woman actually wears even more revealing clothes in modern times?
It was obviously inappropriate just now!
He tried hard to suppress his displeasure, closed the memorial and put it aside. "Are you hungry? If so, ask Suqiu to go to the imperial kitchen and bring you something to eat."
Zhu Wuhuan coughed lightly and sat down like a lady. "I'm hungry, but Your Majesty—can I not drink the porridge?"
Feng Changye looked up at her and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Zhu Wuhuan’s eyes lit up, of course it was barbecue!
In modern times, she goes out for a night run every night and always brings back a barbecue!
She asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, is there any barbecue in the imperial kitchen? When I was still a girl, my father often took us hunting in the mountains. When he hunted pheasants and rabbits, he would roast them for us brothers and sisters to eat—"
She acted as if she missed him very much and said, "I saw my family today and suddenly I miss the smell of barbecue."
Feng Changye watched her perform quietly.
You are clearly just missing the barbecue a thousand years later, why are you pretending to miss your family?
He calmly refused, "There is barbecue in the imperial kitchen, but it's dark now, and eating meat is not good for your health. You should eat something light."
Zhu Wuhuan glanced at the vegetable porridge in his bowl, his face pale.
Light food is good for your health, but it doesn’t taste good!
Don’t want to eat!
She deliberately lowered her head with a look of grievance, "Your Majesty, I'd better go back to Changle Palace. I can't even eat a bite of what I want here..."
Feng Changye looked at her speechlessly, "Is eating meat so important?"
Zhu Wuhuan looked up at her and asked seriously, "Your Majesty, do you know why I am called Wuhuan?"
Feng Changye chuckled and matched her performance, "Can't live without meat?"
Zhu Wuhuan's eyes lit up instantly. "Your Majesty, you are indeed extremely intelligent. You can even guess this! That's right! When I was a child, I loved meat, so my father changed my name to Zhu Wuhuan!"
“…” Feng Changye raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, but after rubbing twice, he still had a headache.
This liar is really a headache!
He moved his hand away and looked at Zhu Wuhuan helplessly.
Meeting those big, blinking eyes, he couldn't help but stretch out his slender fingers and flick her forehead.
"Can you have some backbone? For a piece of meat, you even changed the general's original intention in naming you, huh?"
"You think I don't know that the general named you Wuhuan after a poem."
"What can I do when I am old? No joy can replace my sorrow. All I have left is wine to cheer me up, just like when I was young."
He looked at her and said, "When the general comes back, do you dare to tell him that he gave you this name because you are lustful? He can't beat you to death."
Zhu Wuhuan was caught off guard and hit on the head. He silently covered his head and looked at him innocently.
What habit?
You can't just stay still, right?
"Your Majesty, it's not impossible not to eat barbecue, but I really don't want to drink porridge."
She asked Feng Changye expectantly, "Can we ask the imperial kitchen to bake something else?"
She was calling out for other good things on the barbecue stall -
Roasted leeks! Roasted enoki mushrooms! Roasted potatoes!
Grilled chicken feet, grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken hearts, grilled chicken gizzards!
Grilled prawns, grilled squid and grilled scallops!
Roasted pigeon!
Roasted eggplant, roasted mushrooms and roasted gluten!
Which of these good things is not a delicacy?
What’s more, eating these things won’t make you gain weight and won’t make you greasy!
Listening to Zhu Wuhuan's thoughts, Feng Changye felt as if he was sitting at a roadside stall eating tasteless noodles and heard the waiter from the restaurant next door announcing the dishes.
All kinds of delicacies from land and sea attacked him while he was eating noodles, making him unable to eat at all.
He looked down at his bowl of vegetable porridge.
Although this porridge is made with the best broth and the vegetables in it are all healthy foods, it really doesn’t taste good at all!
How can roasted chicken feet, roasted chicken wings, roasted pigeon and roasted mushrooms be as delicious as them!
Feng Changye stared at the bowl of vegetable porridge silently and put down the spoon.
"Well, since the Queen wants to eat it so much, I will indulge you this time."
He clapped his hands, and Suqiu and another young eunuch walked in from outside.
He said, "Your queen wants to have a midnight snack. Ask her what she wants and quickly go to the imperial kitchen to order."
After a pause, he said nonchalantly, "Two servings."
Facing Zhu Wuhuan's surprised gaze, he calmly said, "I'm doing this to make you less embarrassed. If I sit by and watch you eat without blinking, will you be able to finish your meal?"
Zhu Wuhuan stared at him suspiciously.
Although his explanation made sense, why did she feel that it was so unfounded?
She stood up and told Suqiu and the eunuch what she wanted to eat, including grilled vegetables, grilled chicken feet, and squab.
The two men immediately bowed and left.
Next, Feng Changye continued to review memorials. Zhu Wuhuan went to the back to wash up, and then came out happily waiting for the barbecue.
The emperor and empress were waiting to eat, and the imperial kitchen was extremely fast.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the young eunuch came in carrying a food box.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Kitchen said the roasted chicken feet and roasted pigeon will have to wait a while. But all the vegetarian dishes you requested are here. You and the Emperor can enjoy them first. Once you finish the vegetarian dishes, the roasted chicken feet, roasted pigeon, and roasted shrimp will be here soon."
The young eunuch brought out a string of delicious barbecue and placed it on the table.
Zhu Wuhuan walked over immediately.
I took a deep sniff and this is the smell!
She turned around and looked at Feng Changye, "Your Majesty, come and eat. You will never be able to finish your work, but you can't delay your meal."
This was the first time Feng Changye heard this kind of "foodie talk". He felt helpless but vaguely felt that there was some truth in it.
He put down the memorial, walked to the table and sat down.
"Your Majesty, please enjoy these grilled mushrooms. They are fragrant, crispy, and delicious!"
Zhu Wuhuan took a bunch of grilled mushrooms and handed them to Feng Changye, looking at him expectantly.
At this moment, in her eyes, he was just a barbecue buddy, and she couldn't wait to share what she thought was the most delicious thing!
Feng Changye took it and took a bite.
He nodded. "It tastes really good."
When Zhu Wuhuan saw that he liked it, he smiled happily.
There’s nothing more joyful than having something delicious that you and your fellow grillers also find delicious!
So, the two of them started eating barbecue, taking turns eating.
…
The recorder at the door took a peek inside, then silently wrote in the Emperor's Records:
On the night when the Queen first entered the Taiji Hall, she invited the Emperor to have a barbecue together.
The emperor, who always paid attention to health preservation, was led astray by the queen. Relying on his position as emperor, he domineeringly snatched two skewers of grilled chicken feet and one skewers of grilled shrimps from the queen.
There was a little bit of disharmony between the emperor and empress tonight.
