Upon hearing this, Nan Zhiyun's eyes lit up, and she immediately put the item away.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Nan Zhiyun smiled, her eyes crinkling, which made Yu Jingchen smile along. Nan Zhiyun was truly endearing...
"After you finish this, will you still be able to eat your wontons later?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
"Yes, you can eat it." Nan Zhiyun was no longer as reserved as before.
What could Yu Jingchen do? He could only move on to the next shop. However, he wasn't as focused as Nan Zhiyun. Nan Zhiyun could find her own shop even while eating, and she quickly found a small wonton shop.
"Your Majesty, is it alright here?" Nan Zhiyun asked.
"Sure, whatever you want, let's go." Yu Jingchen said, looking in the direction Nan Zhiyun was pointing. Nan Zhiyun then enthusiastically pulled him along.
Because it was a street food stall, the environment was inevitably a bit lacking, and Nan Zhiyun was actually a little worried that Yu Jingchen wouldn't be happy about it. But to her surprise, Yu Jingchen was actually willing to go with her.
"Your Majesty, this is delicious..." Nan Zhiyun hesitated for a moment, but still felt she should emphasize it.
"Mmm, it's delicious," Yu Jingchen replied casually.
"You haven't finished eating what you have yet, so hurry up and finish it. If it gets cold, you really won't be able to eat it," Yu Jingchen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhiyun stopped talking nonsense and began to eat what she was holding. Yu Jingchen saw how much she was craving the food and wasn't without concern, but it was rare to see her so happy, so he didn't want to disappoint her too much. Besides, it shouldn't be a big problem if it happened once in a while. After all, quite a few people eat these things.
Nan Zhiyun was focused on eating, unaware that Yu Jingchen was watching her. Her cheeks puffed out with each chew, just like a little hamster. And... her mouth was covered in oil.
After she finished eating, she looked up and saw Yu Jingchen's teasing gaze. Nan Zhiyun felt a little flustered; her hands were now covered in oil.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun was embarrassed.
"How old are you? You've got food all over your hands and your mouth is greasy." Yu Jingchen took a clean handkerchief, ready to wipe Nan Zhiyun's face, but Nan Zhiyun shyly took the handkerchief from him. She didn't want Yu Jingchen to wipe her; it was too embarrassing...
"Can you still eat?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
"..." Nan Zhiyun suddenly didn't know how to answer. Should she say yes? Anyway, she always felt that answer was a bit strange...
Just then, the shopkeeper brought out the prepared wontons, two servings in total.
"Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen," the shopkeeper said cheerfully before tactfully leaving. One serving wasn't much, and Nan Zhiyun couldn't resist the sight of the plump little wontons.
She glanced at Yu Jingchen, who immediately understood.
"Eat," Yu Jingchen said.
Upon hearing what Yu Jingchen said, Nan Zhiyun picked up a spoon and ate in small bites. It was a little hot, and Nan Zhiyun opened her mouth slightly and even used her hand to cover it, completely abandoning any semblance of decorum.
"Can't you go slower?" Yu Jingchen increasingly felt that Nan Zhiyun was like a child.
"No rush, eat slowly. It's still early. If it gets too late, we won't go back today. You can do whatever you want." Yu Jingchen always indulged her. Tomorrow was a day off, no morning court session, so Nan Zhiyun could play a little longer if she wanted.
Nan Zhiyun's heart stirred slightly: "Can I really stay outside today?" She had previously thought that Yu Jingchen was exaggerating.
“If you’re willing, of course you can,” Yu Jingchen said.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Nan Zhiyun smiled. Yu Jingchen probably loved seeing her smile like this the most right now. It was like seeing the cheerful girl from before, but... why did it always feel like something was missing?
Nan Zhiyun really liked the wontons from outside, and since she rarely had a good appetite, she couldn't resist eating a few more. After eating several, she remembered to look at Yu Jingchen, who told her she shouldn't eat too much...
Yu Jingchen saw her put down the spoon and look at him, her innocent expression softening his heart.
"Eat up." Yu Jingchen didn't stop her.
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhiyun became delighted and continued eating without even looking up. Perhaps because she was eating so deliciously, Yu Jingchen couldn't resist eating two as well, but didn't eat any more.
This bowl of soup was a bit too much for Nan Zhiyun, who had just finished a plate of pan-fried buns. She drank a couple of sips of the soup, which was the most fragrant she had ever tasted. However, she couldn't finish the wontons inside.
But... she was the one who wanted to eat just now, and now she's the one who can't eat anymore, so Nan Zhiyun was too embarrassed to say anything. However, who was Yu Jingchen? He quickly realized what was going on.
So he took the initiative to ask, "Can't you eat anymore?" Yu Jingchen asked him.
"I'm full..." Nan Zhiyun's face turned red.
Yu Jingchen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I thought you could really eat this much."
"But you have improved, after all." Yu Jingchen changed the subject, leaving Nan Zhiyun confused. She asked, "What?"
After thinking for a moment, she realized that it probably referred to her own appetite, so she made a rare attempt to explain, "I haven't eaten these in a long time, so I might be craving them. Did I... eat too much?" Nan Zhiyun carefully observed Yu Jingchen's expression.
"Heh, is that a lot?" Yu Jingchen chuckled.
"What do you think I mean? I say you've improved because this time you knew you couldn't eat anymore and told me, unlike last time when you ate until you threw up." Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun with a smile in his eyes.
Nan Zhiyun's face immediately darkened. What the hell... why bring this up again...?
"Has it grown better? You've grown a mouth this time." Yu Jingchen even pretended to wipe Nan Zhiyun's mouth, making sure it wasn't dirty.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun also felt that this matter... was over.
"Why can't you say it yet? I just praised you." Yu Jingchen pinched Nan Zhiyun's lips.
“”
Xinglai was speechless. They had called her name so many times already, why was it taking so long to say it? And didn't you say that if she called her name wrong again, she would be punished? I haven't seen you punish her at all. Did you punish Consort Shu by making her eat something?
"If you can't eat it, then don't. Let's go. What else do you want to do?" Yu Jingchen stood up, then reached out his hand to Nan Zhiyun and pulled her up.
“The lamp…” Nan Zhiyun looked at Qianxia, still remembering her lamp.
Qianxia handed the lamp to Nan Zhiyun, who took it and said, "I'll carry it myself."
"You like it?" Yu Jingchen was naturally the happiest.
"Hmm, very cute." Nan Zhiyun has never been immune to cute things.
