Yue Fuguang was telling others to be careful, but she forgot that she wasn't twenty years old, but an eight-year-old girl who had never eaten spicy food.
Even if her soul could eat spicy food, it couldn't stop her body from eating it now.
So when she first tasted the tender beef, an intense stimulation assaulted all her senses.
Ouch! That's really spicy!
"Little Bead, quick, iced cola, I'm dying from the spiciness!"
The sudden roar of the moonlight startled Emperor Mingxi and the others, causing their hands, which were holding meat, to tremble involuntarily.
Seeing his granddaughter's face turn red from the spiciness, Yu Chongshan quickly handed her a glass of warm water.
"Did the spiciness make you feel better? Drink some water to cool down."
【Master, have you forgotten again that this isn't your own body, and you can't eat spicy food! I put two cases of iced cola in your storage room, go get them quickly.】
As soon as Yue Fuguang stood up, she wanted to rush to the storage room. Only an ice-cold Coca-Cola could save her burning mouth.
"Daughter, what's wrong? Do you need to get something? Do you need Daddy's help?"
Old Master Yu was very perceptive. As soon as he saw Yue Fuguang looking anxious, he asked, "With the adults here, why would a young girl need to do such heavy lifting?"
"Father, I have a box of drinks in my storage room. Could you please bring it out for His Majesty and the other officials to have a taste?"
"Okay, you wait here, Dad will go and move it over for you." The father and daughter said as they headed towards the storage room at the back.
Yu Qinchun watched with envy. Zhang Zhongping, the Minister of Rites, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Qinchun, listen to your brother's advice. Although your daughter is with your elder brother, you, as her uncle, should still love her."
You're all family, aren't you? Take good care of yourself…
He wanted to tell you to be a good person, but after thinking about it, he said instead, "You should do your job well. With a young master in your family, you can't go wrong."
That's absolutely right. Zhang Zhongping is a high-ranking official. If it weren't for Yue Fuguang's sake, who would bother with a mere junior official like him?
Yu Qinchun nodded obediently and thanked Lord Zhang.
He suffered the consequences of ignoring advice, and now it's too late for him to regret it...
The Coca-Cola that the system gave Yue Fuguang was the same small glass bottle she drank when she was a child, except that the glass bottle was the same, but there were no words on it.
The group, led by Emperor Mingxi, held the transparent bottle, which was made of the same material as glass, and looked at it repeatedly with great interest.
Ignoring everyone else, Yue Fuguang grabbed the bottle and gulped down half of it.
Ah! That feels so good!
After she felt better, she realized that she had only eaten one bite of meat and was already half full!
There were many others who were hissing and spitting out spicy food just like her, and a few stubborn ones, even though they were sweating profusely from the spiciness, still stubbornly reached for the hot pot with their chopsticks.
Even Emperor Mingxi had to admit that although this stuff was stimulating and caused occasional pain in his mouth, it tasted really good and was irresistible.
You can eat plain hot pot anytime, but with spicy hot pot, you never know when you'll get another chance!
"Fu Guang, are all these vegetables grown in greenhouses? They taste so much better than what we usually eat."
Everyone nodded in agreement with His Majesty's words, wondering if it was because it truly contained the spiritual energy that the Divine Artifact Master had mentioned.
After eating for a while, they all felt warm and comfortable all over.
If Yue Fuguang knew what they were thinking, she would definitely say, "You guys are being burned by spice!"
Because of this mindset, the vegetables on the table were consumed the fastest, followed by the beef, and as for the lamb, no one touched it except for Yueguangfu.
Everyone said that they usually eat too much of it and now they don't want to touch it at all.
Emperor Mingxi ate spicy beef and drank ice-cold sweet water (cola), feeling extremely comfortable.
He couldn't help but ask, "Fu Guang, this sweet water is quite good, does it have a name?"
"Happy water, Your Majesty, don't you feel instantly happy and invigorated after just one sip?"
The system couldn't help but complain, "[Host, that's because of the bubbles in the drink. Don't try to fool the ancients like that, hahaha!]"
"System, you're exactly what I told you, right? It's true that after taking a sip, you feel 'energetic' inside, isn't it?"
Anyway, given the 'golden body' that Yue Fuguang has been constantly building up recently, she believes that whatever she says now, these people will probably believe her.
Sure enough, after taking a sip of the beverage, Emperor Mingxi carefully savored it and nodded, saying, "It really is! One sip not only makes one feel refreshed, but also invigorates the spirit!"
Some adults, upon hearing their emperor's words, also took a sip. Others, after carefully examining the bottle, couldn't bear to drink it and secretly tucked it into their pockets, intending to take it home for their children to try.
After all, anything the Junior Tutor brings out is of high quality; let the children try something new and share in his good fortune.
Yue Fuguang saw it but didn't care. Anyway, each person had a bottle, and it was up to them whether they drank it or took it with them.
After the hot pot meal, it was time for fruit. When a large plate of bright red strawberry cups with a rich fruity aroma was served, everyone present except for Yue Fuguang felt that they had just eaten too much.
We should save some room for these tempting-looking, sweet-smelling, and surely delicious fruits.
"Fu Guang, is this a strawberry?"
Emperor Mingxi was the first to pick one up and hold it up to his eyes for a closer look.
"Creamy strawberry, Your Majesty, please try it, it's delicious."
"sweet!"
"It's so sweet!"
Yue Fuguang watched the adults eating with gusto, their heads bobbing and swaying, their expressions more intoxicated than if they had drunk a bottle of fine wine, and he was very satisfied.
The strawberries she grew were much tastier than the small boxes of strawberries she had eaten in modern times that cost hundreds of dollars each; they truly were fruits nurtured by divine rain.
Emperor Mingxi is now very self-aware. He brings the Crown Prince to Yue Fuguang's place to eat and drink, but never brings the tasting eunuchs. One reason is that he is afraid of being turned away by Yue Fuguang, and the other is that he feels it is completely unnecessary.
If Yue Fuguang wanted to harm him, she could kill him without even poisoning him; Emperor Mingxi was confident of that.
Conversely, if someone else wanted to harm him, with Yue Fuguang there, she would definitely save him, so what did he have to be afraid of?
After eating a strawberry, Emperor Mingxi secretly exclaimed, "So delicious!"
Emperor Mingxi sighed inwardly, thinking how happy he would be if he could eat a few of these sweet strawberries every day, and he could also finish reviewing all those piles of memorials in one go.
He raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Crown Prince, who was happily eating strawberries, thinking that the Crown Prince would be getting married next year, and as the heir apparent, he should shoulder more responsibility.
After all, the future of this country belongs to him, so it's only right that he does more work in advance now.
When he got back, he asked the Crown Prince to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with him to review the memorials together. He could go to bed early tonight and even have time to visit the concubines in the harem!
Having figured this out, Emperor Mingxi was in a much better mood. Although the Crown Prince had not yet started helping him review the memorials, he already felt that the burden on his shoulders had suddenly become much lighter.
Indeed, the saying that pressure needs to be shared is true.
