Jiang Jingyu's voice was swallowed by Mingyou's heavy breathing, not giving her a chance to finish her sentence.
Boom——
The rumbling thunder outside the hall formed a sharp contrast with Mingyou's surging desire at this moment.
The thunder drowned out Jiang Jingyu's sweet moans, and the raging wind blew in through the window, directly extinguishing the candles in the hall.
As thunder roared, lightning followed as expected. The dazzling lightning cut through the silent night sky and shone into the dark hall.
The moment the lightning came in, the two overlapping figures inside the bed curtain were instantly hit against the wall.
Fingers intertwined, bodies rising and falling, clinging to each other until death.
Although the thunder covered up Jiang Jingyu's moans, they actually did not stop at all, so much so that Jiang Jingyu's throat became hoarse in the second half of the night.
“Water, water…”
Jiang Jingyu stretched half of her arm out of the bed curtain, her throat hoarse.
After hearing this, Mingyou finally moved away from her, walked barefoot in the dark towards the table in front, and poured a glass of water for Jiang Jingyu.
Gulp gulp——
Jiang Jingyu took the teacup and drank the water in it in one gulp, but her throat was still very dry and sore. Mingyou returned to the table and poured her a glass of water.
It was not until Jiang Jingyu drank three glasses of water that the dryness and pain in her throat were relieved a little.
She thought the storm had finally stopped and was about to drag her tired body to sleep, but the next moment her waist was pinched by a rough big hand again.
Jiang Jingyu, who had turned over, was startled and shouted hoarsely, "Mingyou, you beast!"
——
As the shameless days passed, the Celestial Empire welcomed an important festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the past, banquets were held in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, with the emperor and his ministers gathering together to drink and chat happily.
But this year Jiang Jingyu did not order a banquet to be held in the palace. Instead, she gave the ministers a day off so that they could go back and reunite with their families for the holiday.
Although there was no banquet, the Mid-Autumn Festival still had to be celebrated. The imperial kitchen began to get busy early in the morning. Dozens of figures walked back and forth in the room, some preparing dishes, some making Yuanxiao. There was not a single idle person in the huge imperial kitchen.
Jiang Jingyu also showed interest today, and came to the imperial kitchen hand in hand with Mingyou.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
When they saw the two figures, everyone who was busy put down their work and bowed to greet them.
Jiang Jingyu looked around the imperial kitchen and said to everyone, "Everyone, get up. Go about your business and don't bother with me."
"yes!"
Although everyone responded like this, it would be strange if they were not nervous with the two most honorable people in the entire Celestial Empire right in front of them!
With the arrival of Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou, everyone in the kitchen was busy with their work with trepidation, doing every move carefully and not daring to make any mistakes.
Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou came to the side of the imperial chef who was making Yuanxiao. The imperial chef was frightened and quickly lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, does the Queen have any instructions?"
"My wife and I would like to see how Yuanxiao is made. Please, chef, demonstrate it to us."
"I will demonstrate it to your majesty and the queen right away!"
The chef breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the two of them wanted to learn how to make Yuanxiao, and he demonstrated it to them on the spot.
"Your Majesty, this is how Yuanxiao is wrapped. If Your Majesty wants other shapes, I can make them too."
After the chef finished the demonstration, he respectfully held the Yuanxiao in front of Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou so that they could see it more clearly.
"Well, you can go and do your work elsewhere. I will leave this to you and the Queen."
After the cook was sent elsewhere, Ming You and Jiang Jingyu took her place and imitated the cook's movements to make Yuanxiao.
Making Yuanxiao is similar to making dumplings, but the steps are more complicated.
At the beginning, the rice dumplings made by Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou either had the filling exposed or the skin was thick, or they just looked ugly, but they got the hang of it after trying more. Later, the two of them even made rice dumplings of different shapes.
For the chefs who often deal with the kitchen, doing this is simply completing daily tasks and getting the monthly salary they deserve through their labor.
Doing one thing all the time can even be boring.
For example, when it comes to making Yuanxiao (Chinese glutinous rice dumplings), chefs have to make thousands or even tens of thousands of them on the Lantern Festival, and they have long been numb to the process.
But Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou enjoyed it because they had each other by their side.
Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou spent a full hour making Yuanxiao in the imperial kitchen, and then they took the Yuanxiao and put them into the boiling hot pot.
Watching the round Yuanxiao floating to the surface one after another, a sense of satisfaction suddenly arises.
"Your Majesty, Queen, the Yuanxiao are too hot right out of the pot. Please let me serve them."
The chef who was waiting on the side was afraid that the two of them would get scalded, so he took the initiative to take charge of the matter before the Yuanxiao came out of the pot.
Looking at the steaming pot, Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou took two steps back and asked the imperial chef to help them serve the Yuanxiao.
As the saying goes, the more you cook, the more you love cooking. Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou, who had just learned how to make Yuanxiao, tried all kinds of ways to make the Yuanxiao look different. Although the Yuanxiao looked a little different from what they had imagined after they came out of the pot, no matter how ugly it was, they made it themselves and it was edible.
Mingyou took the bowl handed to him by the imperial chef, scooped a Yuanxiao with a spoon, put it to his mouth and blew on it, and then put it to Jiang Jingyu's mouth after it was no longer hot.
"Try it."
Jiang Jingyu opened her mouth and took a bite of the soft and glutinous Yuanxiao. Although it didn't look pleasing to the eye, it had skin and filling when she bit into it.
"It's delicious, try it."
Mingyou ate the remaining Yuanxiao that Jiang Jingyu had bitten, nodded, and served Jiang Jingyu another Yuanxiao in the shape of a little rabbit.
