When the emperor learned from Shura that his beloved was actually a widow, it was a truly indescribable situation.
So many young ladies from prominent families in the capital wanted to marry Shura, but he didn't fancy a single one of them.
Now he's actually interested in a widow?
"Does your matriarch know about this?" the emperor couldn't help but ask Shura.
The old lady of the Xiu family was someone the emperor respected.
Shura remained silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
No one in my family knows about this.
"You brat..." The emperor snorted coldly. It seemed that Shura also knew that the identity of the woman he had his eye on was not to be revealed.
Otherwise, given Old Madam Xiu's eagerness to hold her grandson tomorrow, Xiu Luo should be even happier to have found someone he likes.
"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to put in a good word for me at that time." Shura was quite frank.
The emperor couldn't help but shake his head, laughing and scolding Shura, "You little rascal, you sure know how to find loopholes."
He became curious about which woman possessed such charm that even Shura was captivated by her.
However, as the emperor, he was in a good mood.
Even if Shura were a perfect person, he would still be wary of him.
However, the fact that Shura has a weakness is good news for him.
As soon as the emperor stepped off the carriage, he smelled a strange fragrance.
He couldn't help but sniff a few times; the smell seemed to penetrate to the core, and his mouth watered uncontrollably.
A long line of people stood outside the shop, each craning their necks to look inside, eager to see when they would get a picture taken.
If you're just looking for skewers, you can eat them outside.
Just put down a small stool, and there are free cold drinks outside.
However, many people still want to go inside the store. They don't know how the owner managed to make it so cool inside, and they wonder how many ice cubes were used.
Besides skewers, there are many other dishes to order.
For example, that cold skin noodles, I don't know what they're made of, but once you mix them with the sauce, they're absolutely delicious.
Some people are less concerned with formalities; seeing that there were no seats in the store, they ordered food and ate outside.
Qifei had already had a foldable table made overnight, but it hasn't arrived yet, so they'll have to make do with what they have.
There was nothing she could do; she hadn't expected the barbecue business to be even better than the hot pot business, and she hadn't prepared enough.
Qifei waved her fan, not wanting to go to the front to join the fun at all.
She piled up ice blocks in the backyard.
She was dying of heat and missed the days when she could have air conditioning.
The only advantage is that she knows how to make ice and has no shortage of ice.
Shura led the emperor directly to the private room.
This private room is now his exclusive room, and almost everyone in the restaurant knows that.
A blast of cold air hit you as soon as you opened the door to the private room.
Please have the emperor sit down. Only then did Shura go to the backyard to find Qifei.
Upon hearing that the emperor had arrived, Qi Fei was somewhat surprised, wondering how such a large Buddha statue could have been summoned.
"Are you sure it's okay for the emperor to eat this?" Qi Fei looked at Xiu Luo hesitantly, as she had heard that the emperor's stomach was very delicate.
Although she uses freshly slaughtered meat, she seasons it heavily.
It is said that the emperor never ate more than three bites of food at a time, so that no one could tell what he liked to eat.
She's terrified that if you eat at her shop, you might get food poisoning and your life could be in danger.
"Don't worry, just come up," Shura reassured him.
Since he dared to bring the emperor along, he must be confident that there won't be any problems.
Since Shura made a guarantee, Qifei naturally didn't care, but she prioritized sending it to them first.
We baked some of almost everything from the store and sent it over.
Qifei personally carried the chilled wine to the private room.
"This humble woman greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace." Qi Fei smiled and bowed to the emperor, placing the wine in her hand on the table. "Hearing Lord Xiu say that Your Majesty has arrived has filled this humble woman with trepidation."
The emperor looked at the person who spoke, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
No wonder that kid Shura was willing to become her devoted follower; isn't she an absolute beauty?
Upon meeting the woman, the emperor believed he understood Shura's thoughts. If he hadn't known that the woman had a relationship with Shura, he would have been happy to bring her into the palace.
However, since Shura has found someone he likes, he won't take what belongs to her.
After the emperor tasted the wine and ate a few bites of skewers, his eyes lit up.
That's impressive, no wonder business is so good.
He initially thought they were exaggerating, but now that he's tasted it, he realizes they were being too mild.
Once you start eating this, you can't stop.
Standing to the side, Eunuch Liang hesitated to speak. He wanted to help the emperor taste the poison first, but he accidentally ate the first one when he was testing it.
I was so embarrassed at the time, I wished I could disappear into the ground.
At this moment, Eunuch Liang was swallowing hard, and his stomach was rumbling.
Qi Fei glanced at Eunuch Liang and said with a smile, "This humble woman will not disturb His Majesty's meal. I think this eunuch is fine standing here, so why don't you wait outside with me?"
With Lord Xiu accompanying the Emperor, he can also have some intimate conversations.
The emperor found it quite strange that someone would speak to him like that.
However, he was in a good mood after eating the delicious food, and he waved his hand to let Eunuch Liang and Qi Fei leave the house.
Qifei had someone grill some food and put it in the backyard. There was a small stone table in the backyard, which could not seat many people, but it was enough for two people.
She invited Eunuch Liang over to have some food, and Qifei drank a few cups with him.
Eunuch Liang immediately felt a bit more favorably disposed towards Qi Fei.
It wouldn't have been a problem for him to serve on an empty stomach, since in the palace the masters had already eaten, and they would just squeeze in a bite whenever they could.
But the taste was so overpowering that his stomach started to rumble, and he was drooling more than usual.
With the emperor in the private room accompanied by Lord Xiu, Eunuch Liang was indeed not worried.
They started eating and drinking without any hesitation.
He thought that Master Xiu had excellent taste; the landlady's judgment was far superior to that of the young ladies in the capital.
The noble ladies of the capital are all ambitious but incompetent. Although he receives courteous treatment as someone in the emperor's presence, he is well aware of the true nature of the situation.
Those who can gain a foothold in front of the emperor are no naive or innocent fools.
Eunuch Liang chatted idly with Qi Fei, repeating the same things over and over, both of them playing coy.
"You've come at just the right time. We just started making braised peanuts. When you leave, Father-in-law, you must take a box with you."
If this suits your father-in-law's taste, please send someone to deliver a message, and we will have someone take it back.
Food is certainly inappropriate for the emperor, but it doesn't matter as much for those who serve him.
After all, Grandpa Liang was just a working man.
Qifei had someone bring up a plate first, so that Eunuch Liang could have a taste.
Braised peanuts are the kind of food that gets better and better the more you eat them; once you've had the first one, you can't stop eating them.
