The lecture lasted the entire morning, and there was a long break in the middle.

Master Xun was still not satisfied and wanted to continue teaching.

The princes' stomachs were rumbling below the stage, but they dared not disobey the Master.

At this moment, Wu Qing suddenly stood up and stretched in a way that could not be ignored, interrupting Master Xun's lecture.

"Your Highnesses, it's lunch time, let's go!" she shouted happily.

Then, Wu Qing picked up his belongings and rushed out the door in a hurry, leaving only a chic back.

The princes glanced at Master Xun, who was on the verge of a rage.

They didn't dare to stop for even a second. After a simple greeting and farewell, they hurriedly caught up with Wu Qing.

I'm sorry, Master, but you can have food to eat if you follow Concubine Ji!

In the past, at lunch time, the princes would all return to the princes’ residences, one to eat in the dining room while the other ate behind closed doors.

Wu Qing rushed into the dining room, extremely curious about the princes' lunch.

The eldest prince and the second prince stood at the door of the dining hall, their eyes locked, as if they were engaged in a silent contest.

After a while, the two of them snorted coldly and stepped over the threshold together.

We eat breakfast together anyway, so what’s wrong with having another lunch?

It was the time when the servants were changing shifts. A group of palace servants gathered in a quiet corner of the open space, gazing at the dining room from afar.

The princes were sitting around a table, while Concubine Ji was sitting beside them, talking with them.

Palace maid number one said enviously, "I really envy Lady Ji for having such a blessing to be able to teach the princes personally."

Palace Servant No. 2 nodded and agreed, "That was an opportunity that Concubine Ji got because she has a photographic memory. The Empress allowed her to enter the upper study room, which shows how much she values ​​her. I believe Concubine Ji's teaching method must be very unique and beneficial. Oh, it would be great if I could learn a thing or two from her."

Palace Servant No. 1 suddenly frowned and looked towards the dining hall in confusion: "... Wait, what is Concubine Ji doing?"

Wu Qing stood up and divided the food on the table into three portions.

The second prince pursed his lips and said unhappily: "I don't want to eat chicken legs, I want to eat tofu."

The eldest prince frowned as he looked at the mountain of vegetables in front of him. He obviously didn't have much appetite.

Three lunches, each with its own characteristics.

The eldest prince's portion was mostly made of vegetables, and was lush and green.

The second prince's bowl was filled with all kinds of meat, so he didn't know where to start since he didn't like meat.

Wu Qing’s dish included both meat and vegetarian dishes, each of which was carefully selected and had great color, aroma and taste.

Wu Qing chewed and chewed, scolding the two: "At your age, how can you be picky about food? This is all made specially for you by the imperial kitchen. You should cherish it and don't waste food."

The second prince was not convinced, "Why is your lunch so rich? I want one too!"

Wu Qing continued chewing: "I'm a counselor. I have to worry about your studies and life. It's hard work, so naturally I need to eat more to replenish my energy."

The second prince pointed at Wu Qing and said dissatisfiedly: "How dare you say that? You clearly only slept for the whole morning! How can you say you are tired? We are the ones who are tired!"

Wu Qing shrugged: "I fought with Master Xun for you. If it weren't for me, you would still be listening to his lectures now."

"I don't care. I just want to eat vegetarian food now. I feel sick when I smell meat." The second prince looked at the food in front of him with disgust.

The eldest prince also looked embarrassed: "My lord, eating only vegetables is probably not good for your health."

Wu Qing complained inwardly: [So one of you will be too fat to walk and get diabetes, and can only eat vegetarian food every day. The other will be a weak and sickly prince who will die after being stabbed by someone.]

Wu Qing said calmly: "You want to eat? Sure, just take it from your own bowls. I can't share mine with you anyway."

She ate voraciously, finishing the food in the bowl, completely ignoring the strange looks from others.

"You, you, you...are you still a woman?!"

This way of eating, which was completely different from that of the concubines in the palace, made the princes lean back.

Does the emperor like this now?

Wu Qing raised his eyebrows, "You are still a man, how come you don't even have the courage to talk to your eldest brother and ask for some vegetarian dishes?"

The second prince's eyes widened and his face turned pale and blue.

Want him to eat vegetarian food from his eldest brother’s bowl?

How can we still eat things that big brother has touched?

The eldest prince touched his nose and suddenly felt a little guilty: "..."

He just likes to eat meat, and he does exercise. Will he become so fat that he can't walk in the future?

The eldest prince frowned, slowly picked up his chopsticks, and endured the discomfort in his heart and ate most of the bowl of vegetables. This action won Wu Qing's approval.

[Yes, the eldest prince can still be saved. ]

Seeing the eldest prince surrender soon, the second prince was dumbfounded.

"Brother, don't you always hate eating vegetarian food?" the second prince asked stutteringly.

The eldest prince kindly reminded: "Second brother has always been in poor health, so he should eat more meat to nourish his body."

The second prince was silent.

He understands the truth, but...

The second prince was very hesitant.

[The eldest prince didn't persuade the right person. The real reason why the second prince didn't eat meat was actually because of Concubine Mu. He thought Concubine Mu liked thin people, so he kept controlling his weight.]

After eating and drinking his fill, Wu Qing silently explained the reason.

[That day, after Concubine Mu rescued the Second Prince, she chuckled in his ear and said, "So gentle," which made him faint.]

[I told you that, didn't I? Concubine Mu doesn't like the Second Prince, but his mother - Concubine Shu! If the Second Prince wasn't Concubine Shu's biological son, how could Concubine Mu risk exposing her martial arts skills and fly out to rescue him? ]

[If you take the other person's casual exclamation as a love word, you will be too sentimental. ]

The second prince likes Concubine Mu.

Noble Lady Mu likes Concubine Shu.

Shufei is also my father's concubine.

"puff--"

The eldest prince, who was eavesdropping on the conversation, accidentally sprayed out the water in his mouth.

The spray hit the food in front of the Second Prince right in the middle of the place, completely freezing it.

Wu Qing was also dumbfounded.

[What happened to this child? Did he choke? ]

The Second Prince endured for a long time before squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth: "...Brother, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, there is no need to hide it, just say it directly. I will go to another place to eat so as not to bother you."

The eldest prince sincerely expressed his apology to the second prince: "Second brother, I am really sorry."

He just suddenly felt that his father's harem was in such a mess...

The second prince rolled his eyes at him.

To make amends, the eldest prince gave his only meat dish, chicken drumstick, to his younger brother and said, "Don't go on a diet for others. If your health breaks down, it will all be worthless."

Wu Qing nodded and agreed very much.

"Eat now." She said, "We still have physical education class in the afternoon."

She asked the Queen Mother to invite Fang Rong'an to be the physical education teacher.

The second prince stared at the chicken leg in the bowl hesitantly.

His brother couldn’t possibly poison him in public, right?
