The emperor looked different when he came today. He used to wear a dragon robe, but today he wore a graphite blue casual suit and a jade crown.
Under the pouring moonlight, Emperor Xuan Jing stood tall and graceful with handsome features. He looked more like an elegant nobleman than an emperor.
Bai Susu was outside to welcome the emperor, and her face turned red when she saw the emperor like this. The emperor used to be cold and majestic, but today... he was very different.
Emperor Xuan Jing leaned over and helped Bai Susu up. He held her cold fingertips in his hand and said, "It's a chilly night. Don't wait outside anymore."
After the fall, the nights did become much cooler, so Bai Susu added a light golden silk shawl with water shadow patterns over her clothes.
Emperor Xuan Jing didn't say anything. He just walked over from afar and saw Bai Susu's graceful figure under the lamp, her shawl fluttering in the wind, like a palace maid on the moon, elegant and beautiful.
Bai Susu smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling under the light, as if filled with thousands of stars: "I will obey the emperor."
Wang Fuhai was secretly complaining in the narration, saying that Master Bai was really good at taking advantage of the situation.
Emperor Xuan Jing laughed out loud, Su Su was still so frank and cute.
Bai Susu originally felt that Emperor Xuan Jing was particularly gentle today. Now that he smiled, his phoenix eyes were bright and his eyeliner was dark, and his originally cold face became much more lively.
Bai Susu's useless face turned red again. She lowered her head to cover up her mistake, but her hands moved hurriedly as she pulled the emperor inside.
"Your Majesty, I have prepared a table of delicious food. Please come and taste it."
Then, Emperor Xuan Jing had a meal with Bai Susu's careful preparation and arrangement. The meal was not particularly sumptuous, but surprisingly to his taste.
"Your Majesty, please try this crystal shrimp dumpling."
Emperor Xuan Jing saw that the dumpling skins were different from the previous ones. The skins were as white as snow, as thin as paper, and crystal clear. They were placed on the plate one by one, looking delicate and cute, and they really looked a bit like crystal.
He picked one up with chopsticks and tasted it. It was indeed delicious. The skin was more elastic than ordinary dumplings, and there was a whole shrimp wrapped inside, which was fresh and chewy.
"Well, not bad." Emperor Xuan Jing nodded, and Bai Susu was happy.
"Your Majesty, please try this fried quail. The skin is crispy and delicious!"
"This ham and tofu soup is also good, fresh and fragrant, and it warms my stomach so much."
Wang Fuhai watched Concubine Bai's every word and gesture, and arranged exactly what the emperor would eat.
The key point is that the emperor dotes on him and he is obedient. He eats whatever Concubine Bai asks him to eat without even refusing.
While eating, I heard Concubine Bai say, "Your Majesty, please don't eat too much. There will be dessert later."
Wang Fuhai thought: How dare you! You don't even let the emperor eat enough! If you tell anyone about this, you'll get beheaded.
But what did the emperor do? He really slowed down his eating speed and responded with a "good".
Emperor Xuan Jing felt comfortable and at ease when eating in Qixiang Hall, especially when Bai Susu was circling around him, watching him eagerly as he tasted a dish and expecting her to give him praise.
These dishes are delicious, but what makes Emperor Xuan Jing feel comfortable is not the dishes, but the thought that Bai Susu puts into preparing meals for him.
For example, the snail in my hand. Listen to the strange name given by Bai Susu, this snack looks very strange in appearance, with pointed ends and a round middle. It really looks like a conch.
"Your Majesty, please eat quickly. It's delicious." Bai Susu stared at Emperor Xuan Jing eagerly as he tasted the food.
Emperor Xuan Jing put the snail in his mouth and took a light bite. He was immediately conquered by the magical taste.
The shell of the snail is crispy, but the inside is fluffy and soft, extremely sweet, and melts in your mouth.
Emperor Xuan Jing had eaten all kinds of snacks, but he had never eaten one with such a magical taste.
He nodded and said, "It's really delicious."
Then he pointed at the milky white filling inside and said, "What is this filling? It tastes like milk."
Bai Susu was so amused by the word "filling" that she couldn't stop laughing. She suppressed her laughter and replied, "Your Majesty, this is made from milk. If you leave the milk to sit for a while, a thick layer of milk skin will form on top. Then, you collect the milk skin, beat it, knead it, and stir it repeatedly until it becomes this frosting. I... I call it Milk Skin Frosting."
Bai Susu finally did not choose to use the word "cream", but chose the easy-to-understand milk skin cream. After all, if Emperor Xuan Jing asked why it was called "cream", she would not be able to answer at all.
Emperor Xuan Jing looked at the flawless white cream, which indeed resembled the frost of autumn, and couldn't help but laugh: "I really wonder if you have used all your cleverness on food, otherwise how could you think of such a complicated meal."
Bai Susu was dissatisfied and said angrily, "Isn't it delicious? Lady An loves it. She's completely obsessed with it."
Emperor Xuan Jing put half of the cream in his hand into his mouth. He ate very properly and had good dining etiquette. He was graceful and had elegance engraved in his bones. Bai Susu was still worried about what to do if the cream got on the emperor's face.
It seems that she was completely overthinking it. Not only did it not get on her face, but not even on her lips.
"It's really good." Emperor Xuan Jing put the remaining piece in his hand into his mouth and gave his approval. Bai Susu then became happy and started eating it in small bites like a little mole.
However, Emperor Xuan Jing only ate one piece and was wiping his hands with the towel Wang Fuhai handed him when he suddenly said slowly, "Has Lady An already eaten this? Are you close to her?"
Bai Susu was stunned. Emperor Xuan Jing's tone was calm, but Bai Susu could sense a sense of accusation.
The subtext seems to be: "Aren't you the best in the world with me? Shouldn't you be the first to share delicious food with me?"
Wang Fuhai, who was standing by, was also surprised, thinking that his emperor was really... really childish.
"Lady An has a straightforward personality... I really enjoy interacting with her. I asked Deng Sanguan to develop this cream for a long time, and it only took shape yesterday. Lady An happened to be here, so I tried it."
"However," Bai Susu chuckled, "The version your majesty is eating today is the most perfect version. I specially asked Deng Sanguan to adjust the consistency and sweetness to the most perfect level. The version your majesty is eating now has three points less sugar."
She spoke very quickly and was very eloquent.
Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes grew darker and darker, as if the wrinkles in his heart were smoothed out, and his brows gradually softened.
With a slight move of his hand, he brought Bai Susu onto his legs.
Under the light, his eyes were slightly deep, with a faint smile on his lips, and he was extraordinarily handsome.
Bai Susu saw Wang Fuhai and Nan Chun tactfully retreat out of the corner of her eye, and her face felt slightly hot.
Emperor Xuan Jing smiled, scratched the edge of Bai Susu's mouth with his fingers, looked at the cream on his hand, and chuckled, "Little dirty cat."
Bai Susu felt like she couldn't breathe, and Emperor Xuan Jing's gentleness was a bit unfair.
There was an itch in his ears. Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes darkened slightly, and a deep and hoarse voice rang in his ears: "However, compared to these, I would like to eat something else."
