Chapter 264
“Your Majesty is absolutely right,” Shen Qingnian said, feeling pleased. She stepped forward and took the man’s large hand.
Skin to skin, warm and real to the touch, and the next moment, the man's large hand grasped hers, intertwining their fingers.
The room was filled with warmth, and the gentle scent of jasmine surrounded the two, adding a touch of ambiguity to their atmosphere.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two masters had finally returned to normal, Xiaoju, who was standing by, felt relieved.
Xia Zi glanced at Xiao Ju, who looked relieved, and thought that this girl was naive and had never seen the world. She was just naive. If she saw His Majesty embroidering in the Imperial Study, she would probably stare in disbelief.
At this moment, the two little ones who had changed their clothes ran in. Upon seeing this, Shen Qingnian subconsciously pushed the man's large hand away.
It's not appropriate to do this in front of children.
Looking at his empty hands, Song Xuan felt a bit stifled; the two little ones had come at a really bad time.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Little Shen Xi ran over and hugged Song Xuan's leg. She blinked her big eyes and looked very cute.
Seeing the lively child, Song Xuan's somewhat stifled mood dissipated, and he picked up little Shen Xi instead.
Shen Qingnian also took Xiao Yanqing into her arms.
"Daddy, we're going to have barbecue later, why don't you stay and eat with us?" Little Shen Xi's eyes were full of anticipation.
Song Xuan would dine in the Golden Hall every day, but not every meal. He was busy with state affairs, so he often ate one meal in the Golden Hall and the other two meals in the Imperial Study.
“Yes, Father will dine with you tonight,” Song Xuan replied gently.
Little Shenxi clapped her hands, very happy: "Yay, yay!"
A moment later.
The steaming, fragrant roasted meat was then served, along with a pot of sake and a small bowl of bird's nest.
Blood bird's nest is something Shen Qingnian eats every day.
The sizzling, oily venison was placed in a stone pot, surrounded by a ring of green vegetables, looking very appealing. A candle was lit underneath the stone pot to keep the food warm.
"It smells so good."
The two little gluttons were already drooling.
After being specially processed by the imperial chefs, the venison lost its gamey smell, leaving only its unique aroma that made people's mouths water.
Palace servants came forward to serve the two little ones their meal, but Shen Qingnian and Song Xuan did not allow the servants to serve them.
Song Xuan placed a slice of venison on Shen Qingnian's plate: "Venison is very good for replenishing qi and blood, you should eat more of it."
The imperial physician was very skilled with his knife; the venison was sliced very thinly, like rice paper.
Shen Qingnian took a bite, and the aroma of caramelized venison, unique to venison, filled her mouth and tasted delicious.
She filled two cups with sake and instructed the palace servants to open the window next to her. The cool night air shone in, making the room feel warm and inviting.
"Let's drink together," Shen Qingnian said, raising his wine cup and downing the sake in one gulp.
Song Xuan's eyes were deep as he tilted his head back and drank the wine.
[Tsk tsk, eating venison and drinking alcohol. Things get out of hand after drinking...]
