Chapter 340 I'm Not Drunk
"Our... ahem, I was worried that the young lady couldn't cope with it, so I came to check on her." Zhou Yuande said as he looked her over from head to toe calmly. His sharp eyes, which had been immersed in the palace for decades, didn't notice anything wrong.
He blinked, and blinked again.
I took a shower but nothing happened. Is there something wrong with you, Your Majesty?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he immediately raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.
This rotten mouth!
No one can do it, except Your Majesty!
"You..." Chu Liuzheng's eyes widened slightly, looking at him in surprise and suspicion, "Your mouth is itchy?"
"Yeah, I was bitten by a mosquito." Zhou Yuande answered calmly and walked into the house.
"There are mosquitoes in May?" Chu Liuzheng glanced at his lips suspiciously and actually saw a bump. He couldn't help but sigh that the mosquitoes in Tancheng woke up so early.
Chen Xing glanced at the screen where the sound of water continued, then hugged Chu Liuzheng's arm and rubbed it, smiling and asking, "Sister, do you want my help?"
"No need." Chu Liuzheng had just prepared everything and rubbed her head. "You've been busy all day, go and rest for a while."
"Then I'll go next door to see if Doctor Feng has made the antidote." Chen Xing let go of her arm and jumped away.
After hearing the sound of water stop behind the screen, Zhou Yuande suddenly stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to ask. I'll leave it to you, young lady."
"Okay." Chu Liuzheng didn't doubt him and watched him leave.
After a while, Xiao Jingfan came out with wet hair and wearing only a white shirt.
[Tsk tsk, she's got a beautiful face, a nice figure, and a great temperament. Even a midriff-baring top looks like a runway show.]
Chu Liuzheng took the cloak and went over to put it on Xiao Jingfan first.
Even though it was May, the nights were still chilly. With the windows open, it would be terrible if the boss caught a cold.
Xiao Jingfan let her do what she wanted and even bent down to accommodate her.
Chu Liuzheng felt that things had gone smoothly today, so without giving it much thought, he took out a dry towel to dry his hair. As he did so, he thought, "It would be nice to have a hair dryer."
Xiao Jingfan was accustomed to the strange words popping up in his mind from time to time, and he didn't care.
He ran his fingers through his cool, smooth hair, and only when he felt it was almost dry did Chu Liuzheng pick up the sandalwood comb. As he combed his hair, he asked, "Master, would you like to have dinner in the lobby or in your room?"
"Lobby." Xiao Jingfan said with his eyes closed, "It's still early. We can go for a walk on the street after dinner to help digest the food."
Chu Liuzheng was delighted.
[It's better to leave the palace after all. Not only are there fewer rules, but you can also wander around.]
"Are you happy?" Xiao Jingfan suddenly turned his head, but his scalp hurt and his eyebrows immediately frowned.
[Frog Fun! Why did the Tyrant suddenly turn his head? ]
Chu Liuzheng was so scared that he quickly let go and was about to kneel down to apologize, but was stopped by Xiao Jingfan.
He said, "Continue."
"Yes." Chu Liuzheng gathered his hair loosely and combed it more carefully than before. While combing, he stared at the back of Xiao Jingfan's head, afraid that he would suddenly turn around again.
Xiao Jingfan didn't say anything else, closing his eyes as if he was resting.
The chef of this inn is really good. Not only does he cook the signature dishes deliciously, but he also cooks dishes that Chu Liuzheng added on the spur of the moment that are not on the menu. Perhaps his ancestor was really an imperial chef.
While everyone was eating, the waiter stood at the door and bowed to the regular customers who came to the inn to eat at lunchtime. "I'm sorry, everyone, our inn has been booked by the young master inside. Please come back tomorrow."
Hearing this, many people stretched their necks to look inside, and asked the waiter, "Where did this rich young man come from? He's not from our town, is he?"
The guy just smiled and didn't answer.
The shopkeeper came out and said, "The situation today is special. Please eat somewhere else."
He asked his waiter to pack some melon seeds and peanuts for his regular customers to take away.
"This shopkeeper is quite good at business." Feng Jing retracted his gaze and recommended to Chu Liuzheng, "This lotus leaf steamed pork with rice flour is very good. Can we really go out for a walk after we finish eating it?"
"That's what the young master said." Chu Liuzheng picked up a piece of steamed pork with rice flour and put it into the bowl, then tilted his head to look at him, "Didn't you just come back from shopping?" Why are you so happy?
"It's different." Feng Jing drank half a cup of the inn's homemade green plum wine and said with a smile, "It's more lively when there are more people."
Looking at his rapidly red face, Chu Liuzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, held up two fingers, and asked, "What's this?"
"I'm not drunk." Feng Jing drank the remaining plum wine in the glass. Although his face was red, his tone was very firm.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[People who usually say this are drunks, and surprisingly, they were drunk after just one drink.]
She hurriedly asked Chen Xing to take his wine glass. Feng Jing subconsciously tried to grab it back, but he was not as fast as Chen Xing.
With a flicker of the afterimage, the wine glass was thrown onto the counter in the distance.
The shopkeeper who was counting on an abacus behind the counter was so frightened that he rubbed his chest. He picked up the wine glass and looked at it from left to right. He didn't see any cracks, so he didn't ask Chu Liuzheng and others for compensation.
At the table, Feng Jing pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered, "I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
"Yes, yes, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk." Chu Liuzheng poured him a bowl of egg drop soup and coaxed the doctor along with the words.
Feng Jing was about to list his glorious deeds again when he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if something was staring at him.
He instinctively turned his head and made eye contact with Xiao Jingfan.
Xiao Jingfan lowered his gaze to the bowl of soup in front of him.
Feng Jing was indeed a little drunk, and he spoke without thinking, "If you want some soup, just pour it. Why are you glaring at me? Are you trying to snatch it?"
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
"Eat yours." Chu Liuzheng grabbed Feng Jing's chopsticks, picked up a piece of ginger and stuffed it into his mouth, then smiled at Xiao Jingfan, "He's drunk, young master, don't bother with him."
"I'm not drunk." Feng Jing chewed the ginger slices and swallowed them with his mouth open. It was unclear whether he was hurt by the spiciness of the ginger or waiting for Chu Liuzheng to continue feeding him.
Judging from his condition, he was obviously quite drunk.
Xiao Jingfan frowned slightly and said to Chu Liuzheng, "Come here."
Chu Liuzheng immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked to the next table.
I thought the emperor was going to ask her to serve the dishes, but instead I saw Xiao Jingfan raised his chin towards the seat opposite and said gently, "Sit down and eat."
Chu Liuzheng: “Ah?”
"Sit down." After saying these two words, Xiao Jingfan picked up the chopsticks again and started eating.
Chu Liuzheng first looked at Lu Fei who was sitting on the right, and then looked at Zhou Yuande who was sitting on the left.
Seeing Zhou Yuande nodded at her, she let Chen Xing hand over her bowl and chopsticks and sat down to eat.
As for Feng Jing, who was half drunk and half awake and still opening his mouth waiting to be fed, Chen Xing stuffed a chopstick of fried tofu into his mouth and he was chewing it honestly with a frown.
Chu Liuzheng had never eaten at the same table with the emperor before. Compared with Lu Fei and Zhou Yuande, even the way he picked up the food seemed careful and cautious.
[Wow, I can actually dine at the same table with the emperor. If I tell anyone about this, how many local officials will be envious?]
She raised her eyes and glanced carefully at the person opposite her.
When she was in the palace, she had eaten several meals with King Xiao, and the dining atmosphere was always relaxed and pleasant, completely different from now.
At least King Xiao's expressions were much richer than the person opposite him. He was also talkative and had a smile on his face when he spoke, appearing particularly kind.
As for the person opposite... Chu Liuzheng was busy eating, so it was better not to mention him.
After the meal, some people stayed in the inn, while others accompanied Xiao Jingfan out for a walk to help digest the food.
Chu Liuzheng wrapped two pieces of sugar-coated cakes in oil paper, intending to eat them when he got tired of walking.
She was thinking that there wouldn't be any accidents during her shopping trip... Before she could finish the thought, an out-of-control carriage rushed straight towards them.
