Chapter 100 Consort Liu's Viciousness
Ling Xiao has a seven-year-old sister whom he found. She is currently at a lively and adorable age.
Originally, a red bean bun was nothing special, but Xiao Xingyuan was a little reluctant to part with it, after all, it was made by Meng Yanzhi herself!
"Your Majesty?" Ling Xiao looked at Xiao Xingyuan in disbelief. He never expected that this person would be so stingy as to not even give him a red bean bun.
"Ah Yuan, you're being too stingy! My sister is your sister, and you won't even give her a red bean bun?" Ling Xiao looked at Xiao Xingyuan in disbelief: "Could you be any more miserly?"
Xiao Xingyuan lowered his eyes and didn't say anything, just ate his food in silence.
It's already quite remarkable that he allowed Ling Xiao to eat here for free.
Seeing that Xiao Xingyuan didn't answer his question at all, Ling Xiao was speechless. He could only eat heartily, trying to teach Xiao Xingyuan a lesson in this way!
Soon, they finished eating, and looking at the clean plates and bowls, Meng Yanzhi felt a sense of satisfaction.
A slight smile played on her lips as she hummed a little tune and handed the small bottle of sweet water to Wang Huanhai: "Father-in-law, thank you for your hard work!"
Wang Huanhai was sometimes really curious and couldn't understand what Meng Yanzhi was so happy about every day in the small kitchen. Why did she always look so cheerful?
"I had long heard that His Majesty had a good cook, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."
"Look how well this sweet soup is made!"
Consort Liu walked over, looking at Meng Yanzhi with a half-smile, and reached out to stir the sweet soup in Wang Huanhai's hand with a spoon.
"Your humble servant, Meng Yanzhi, pays her respects to Consort Liu."
Meng Yanzhi knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully.
"It seems that Miss Meng is not only a good cook, but also a very well-mannered person."
"Would I have the honor of tasting your cooking?"
Consort Liu looked coldly at Meng Yanzhi kneeling on the ground.
"This humble woman dares not accept such praise. Your Majesty, please feel free to give your orders whatever you wish to receive."
"Shuanghuan, take Miss Meng back. I want to have a good taste of Miss Meng."
Consort Liu withdrew her gaze, a hint of ruthlessness in her tone!
Meng Yanzhi had long known that Consort Liu would come knocking, but she never expected it to come so quickly and so suddenly.
She didn't say anything else, but obediently followed behind, walking together towards Hanliu Palace.
"What does Your Majesty like to eat?"
Meng Yanzhi remained meek and obedient, not daring to look directly at Consort Liu.
"Shuanghuan, take her to the small kitchen and talk to her properly."
Consort Liu smiled slightly, but her eyes flashed with malice.
Shuanghuan snorted coldly, then took the person directly back to the small kitchen. She looked at Meng Yanzhi coldly and began to recite the names of the dishes.
This was clearly meant to make things difficult for Meng Yanzhi, since these dishes were all very difficult and time-consuming to prepare.
However, the small kitchen contained nothing but ingredients, meaning that Meng Yanzhi had to do all of this herself.
Meng Yanzhi knew she couldn't refuse, so she didn't say no. She just smiled gently, lowered her eyes, and agreed. She sat on a small stool and began peeling potatoes.
Seeing this, Shuanghuan was somewhat surprised. She had thought that Meng Yanzhi would make a fuss about this, but she never expected that she would be so compliant.
She snorted coldly and turned to walk in the other direction.
"Your Highness, she didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and started working."
"This girl is really good at keeping her composure."
Shuanghuan looked at Consort Liu with some worry, fearing she might not be so easy to deal with.
Consort Liu casually blew on the tea in her hand and said indifferently, "Very well, I also want to see how composed she can be."
The Imperial Study.
Wang Huanhai brought over a small bottle of sweet water, placed it on the table, and then secretly glanced at Xiao Xingyuan, clearly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Miss Meng's ideas are too ingenious! She even has a dessert drink after the meal?"
"Your Majesty, you are living a very comfortable life."
Ling Xiao immediately stepped forward, took a spoonful, and squinted his eyes happily.
"Your Majesty, I beg you, please lend me Miss Meng. I want her to cook something nice for my sister to cheer her up."
This time, Ling Xiao spoke very seriously, clearly impressed by Meng Yanzhi's culinary skills.
"No."
Xiao Xingyuan held the sweet drink and drank it down sip by sip.
"Your Majesty! I beg you, Your Majesty, I beg you!"
Ling Xiao looked at Xiao Xingyuan pitifully, but it was obvious that Xiao Xingyuan didn't care about his pitifulness at all. He just rolled his eyes and continued drinking his soup.
Wang Huanhai, who was standing to the side, was extremely anxious. He glanced at Xiao Xingyuan again, but hesitated to speak.
Now, Xiao Xingyuan finally realized something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
“Your Majesty, Miss Meng…” Wang Huanhai glanced at Ling Xiao subconsciously before speaking, “Miss Meng has been taken away by Consort Liu.”
Xiao Xingyuan subconsciously tightened his grip on the spoon in his hand, his face darkening: "What do you mean by 'taken away'?"
"Consort Liu said she wanted to try Miss Meng's cooking, so she brought her to Hanliu Palace."
"This servant dares not stop you, I can only come to inform His Majesty."
Wang Huanhai sighed helplessly and looked at Xiao Xingyuan.
Everyone knows exactly what kind of temper Consort Liu has. If it weren't for the fact that she is the Jade King's person, she probably wouldn't have survived to this day!
Everyone knows that Consort Liu has a powerful background, so none of them dare to provoke her. In this palace, it seems that only Xiao Xingyuan can suppress Consort Liu.
"Your Majesty, are you going to Hanliu Palace?"
"Then I will eat this sweet soup first."
Ling Xiao didn't take this matter to heart at all; a mere Consort Liu was nothing to him.
Xiao Xingyuan rolled his eyes at him: "I'm not going, you go."
"Should I leave?"
Why?
Ling Xiao blinked, looking at Xiao Xingyuan in disbelief, not understanding why this matter still needed to be handled by someone else.
Xiao Xingyuan spoke as if it were perfectly reasonable, saying calmly, "Didn't you want to borrow someone?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ling Xiao nodded immediately, turned around and strode towards Hanliu Palace.
After finally cleaning everything up, Meng Yanzhi started chopping vegetables.
Ling Xiao arrived at Hanliu Palace and went directly to Consort Liu. Instead, he secretly went to the small kitchen. He was very curious about what Meng Yanzhi was doing.
Meng Yanzhi was so engrossed in cooking that her hands were swollen from the previous movements, and she could barely hold the knife.
But she remained steadfast, showing no other expression, which shows that she is a person who endures humiliation and hardship. She is indeed quite interesting.
Ling Xiao turned around and went to the main hall to see Consort Liu.
