Xia Zhengqi and Xia Miaoyuan looked up at the door at the same time, only to see the queen walking in with Yingxue.
Yingxue was holding a lunch box in her hand.
"Ruoyu is here!" Xia Zhengqi raised the corner of his mouth.
Since the birth of his daughter, the knot between him and the queen has been untied, and they have regained the feeling they had as a young couple.
Now, whenever he sees the queen, he feels in a good mood.
"Your Majesty, you have been reviewing memorials in the imperial study all day. I heard from Debao that you didn't even take a nap." The queen took the food box from Yingxue's hand.
"I brought you some snacks. Please have some and take a rest."
Xia Zhengqi sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do. I was so busy with the epidemic these past few days that I had a backlog of memorials."
"Ruoyu, what delicious food did you bring?"
"There are osmanthus cakes, crab roe cakes, and jujube and yam cakes." The queen replied, but her hands did not stop moving.
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan had already slid down from the chair, sticking to the queen, staring at the food box eagerly.
"It's delicious! I want to eat it!" Xia Miaoyuan said in a baby voice.
The queen placed the food box on the small tea table beside her and took out a few plates of snacks from it.
Xia Miaoyuan stood on tiptoe to look, then reached out and took a piece of jujube and yam cake.
【Ahhh! These are all my favorites. Mom is so great.】
"Your Majesty, please come and have something to eat!" the Queen urged softly.
Xia Zhengqi was writing notes with his pen in hand, not wanting to raise his head. There were simply too many memorials.
"Put the osmanthus cake on the table for me. I'll just have two pieces to fill my stomach."
The queen sighed softly. She had no way to deal with Emperor Mingxi, so she had to bring the osmanthus cake to the table and placed a small butterfly next to it.
"When you eat it, dip it in some honey, it will taste better." The queen's tone was gentle.
"Well, that's good. Ruoyu is really thoughtful. Dipping the osmanthus cake in honey is much more convenient than sprinkling honey on the osmanthus cake. It doesn't dirty your hands." Xia Zhengqi said as he wrote.
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at the osmanthus cake and honey juice in front of him.
[Wow, my mom also prepared honey juice today, that's awesome!]
"I want to eat it with dip too." Xia Miaoyuan said in a baby voice, holding the snack in one hand and climbing onto the chair again.
To make things easier for herself, she simply moved the small dish of honey closer to herself and moved the inkstone to the side.
Xia Zhengqi was writing without raising his head. He reached out and took a piece of osmanthus cake and dipped it in the water next to it.
Just now, Xia Miaoyuan moved the honey butterfly's position, and Xia Zhengqi dipped it into the inkstone.
The queen watched Xia Zhengqi put the osmanthus cake dipped in ink into his mouth.
"Don't eat, Your Majesty!" the Queen shouted hurriedly.
Xia Zhengqi looked up from chewing on the osmanthus cake: "What's wrong? I just dipped it in honey."
As he spoke, Xia Zhengqi narrowed his eyes, as if savoring the deliciousness of the food. "Hmm, it really tastes better."
At this time, Xia Zhengqi's mouth was already black.
"Puff!" Debao suddenly covered his mouth and his shoulders twitched.
"Debao! What's wrong with you?" Xia Zhengqi shouted, thinking that Debao was making fun of the affectionate interaction between him and the queen.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, your mouth!" Debao stuttered.
Xia Miaoyuan chewed some snacks and looked up at Emperor Mingxi.
puff--
The snack crumbs in Xia Miaoyuan's mouth spurted out, just landing on Emperor Mingxi's face.
"Hahahahahaha! Emperor Daddy!" Xia Miaoyuan laughed.
"Puchi!" The queen couldn't help it anymore.
Xia Zhengqi's mouth was covered in ink, and his face was covered in pastry crumbs. He looked really miserable.
Xia Zhengqi was completely bewildered.
"Your Majesty, please look at the osmanthus cake in your hand." Debao thought about all the sad things and barely managed to hold back his laughter.
Xia Zhengqi looked at the osmanthus cake in his hand and was stunned. He then looked at the inkstone in front of him and the small butterfly filled with honey in front of his daughter, and instantly understood.
"Ah, my! Miao'er, you jerk!"
The queen stepped forward, shrugging her shoulders while trying to hold back her laughter, and wiped Xia Zhengqi's face.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Urgent report from the Imperial Guards camp!"
"Pass it quickly!" Xia Zhengqi waved his hand.
The messenger knelt on the ground and saluted, panting and saying, "Your Majesty, Doctor Yin has replaced the houttuynia cordata with other herbs and added Doctor Yang Lianting's acupuncture techniques. Now the condition of the epidemic patients has improved significantly!"
"That's great! That's great!" Xia Zhengqi stood up excitedly.
"Tell them that when the epidemic is over, I will reward them handsomely!"
The messenger returned joyfully.
The good news swept away the gloom brought by the epidemic in recent days, and everyone in the palace seemed happy and joyful.
The next morning, Xia Zhengqi went to court with his daughter in his arms, full of energy.
Recently, Liang Chaozong has been making trouble again. His daughter Duoduo brought her to court so that she could get useful information.
"If there is a report, please report it early. If there is nothing else, please leave the court!" Debao shouted in a shrill voice.
"I have something to report!" A simple and honest voice came.
Xia Miaoyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a chubby man, who was the Minister of Works Niu Baijin.
[Isn’t this the nominal father of Concubine Xian?] Xia Miaoyuan secretly complained.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, this Lord Niu seems to have gained weight again. It must be because the Ministry of Industry has too much money! The food is so good.]
Xia Zhengqi looked carefully at Mr. Niu's figure and pursed his lips tightly.
Humph, I really have gained a lot of weight.
It really makes people feel unbalanced!
