Forced to wake up, Wu Yanmeng leaned lazily against the palace maid's chest, letting the maid wash and dress her while enthusiastically introducing Qingyin to the delicious food she had invented.
"Ruyu, let me tell you, I might be a genius. I can see something and immediately know how to make it taste good. Even my mother and father have praised my cooking."
Qingyin smiled and nodded, "That's right, you big glutton, you do know what you should and shouldn't forget."
The chattering little princess didn't stop talking until they reached the dinner table.
Qingyin also enjoyed some rare delicacies from ancient times, such as fried chicken legs and milk tea, along with the other table.
Qingyin couldn't help but squint her eyes happily at this point.
...
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Chongzhao, having just finished processing a stack of memorials, put down his pen and stretched his slightly sore wrist.
Upon seeing this, Li Yuanzhen immediately offered a cup of cold tea. His Majesty does not like to drink hot tea; this habit was formed from childhood. Previously, a eunuch had violated His Majesty's taboo, and Li Yuanzhen had not seen that eunuch since.
It seems he didn't end up well.
Li Yuanzhen carefully handed over the tea and asked, "Your Majesty, it's lunchtime now."
Emperor Chongzhao took a sip of tea, the cool, refreshing tea stimulating his tired mind and making him more alert.
It's lunchtime again.
"Alright, have someone prepare the meal."
Upon hearing that His Majesty had agreed to the meal, Li Yuanzhen's face lit up with joy.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
His Majesty is good in one thing, but he is too diligent. He often forgets to eat because of official duties, so Li Yuanzhen sometimes worries that His Majesty is ruining his health because of his excessive diligence.
In this way, even a high-ranking eunuch who serves His Majesty will not benefit from it.
As he lowered his head to leave, he heard a hesitant voice: "...Wait."
Li Yuanzhen waited quietly for His Majesty's instructions.
Emperor Chongzhao stood by the window, his fingertips lightly tapping the edge of the bed. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Go to Changchun Palace for a meal."
Li Yuanzhen was surprised, not expecting His Majesty to attach so much importance to Changchun Palace.
In reality, Li Yuanzhen was just overthinking things. Emperor Chongzhao had simply suddenly remembered his little daughter who had a sweet tooth. The last time he saw her eating, he felt quite hungry. Emperor Chongzhao didn't have much of an appetite now, and since Xiao Shi had taken Qingyan out a few days ago, he thought he might as well go and see her.
It would be nice to have a meal while we're at it.
Emperor Chongzhao's idea was only temporary, but Changchun Palace had to make preparations for it.
