Chapter 30 I Want to Eat Meat
After Emperor Yongping returned to his study last night, he couldn't remember what he did after the Empress came to his study.
I only remember what happened after I heard Chu Qinshu's voice on the way to Anren Palace.
Lin Fu only said that after he sent Chu Qinshu to the side hall, he saw him hugging the empress.
Lin Fu learned everything from leaving the study to what happened on the road afterwards, but he still had no impression of it at all.
The queen has been with him for so many years, and he has never doubted her.
But thinking about what happened last night, I feel horrified.
"Your Majesty is thoughtful. Just let Lin Fu bring the bird's nest in. You should return to Fengming Palace quickly. I will come to see you after this period of time."
Emperor Yongping sighed, but still had to be patient and coax the empress away.
"Your Majesty~~"
The Queen didn't care that she was still standing on the steps outside the palace and started to act coquettishly.
When Emperor Yongping heard this tone, he wanted to cover his face.
The late emperor had warned him in his past that he should be moderate in everything, including the harem.
He refused to believe in evil and insisted on being stubborn.
Now I’ve lost all my face.
"Your Majesty, I have walked all the way to Yu's study, my hands and feet are frozen. How can you bear to let me go back like this?"
The queen continued to act coquettishly and play pitiful.
Emperor Yongping: “…”
Why does he like such a woman?
How can you be a model for the world if you are so pretentious and artificial?
"Your Majesty, I was sick with cold when I returned to the palace last night. Today, I am still stewing bird's nest for you despite my sick body. If you don't taste it, I will be very sad~~"
The queen was indeed feeling a little cold, her face had turned blue from the cold, and the red lip balm on her lips looked odd.
She came dressed up specially, wearing only a layer of gauze under her thick cloak, in order to take down Emperor Yongping as soon as she entered Yu's study.
He no longer has time to care about the good reputation that he had spent so much effort to maintain.
Emperor Yongping: “…”
Yue~
Lin Fu is not very capable. He can't even handle a single person.
Just shoot her away, and I promise I won't chop off your head.
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
The Queen fainted, of course she was pretending.
Lin Fu: “…”
Isn't your acting... a bit too much?
This old servant, this group of guards, and your two senior palace maids are not blind.
"Red leaves and green lotus, why don't you help the Empress get on the sedan chair and go back to Fengming Palace? It's very cold today, and you must not let the Empress's phoenix body freeze and get damaged."
Lin Fu only regretted that he was not a palace maid, otherwise he would have rushed over to help her.
The sooner he leaves, the easier it will be for him to return to the palace and warm up.
The emperor clearly said he didn't want to see her, but how could she not understand what he said? What a pity.
"Your Majesty, I am fine. I just haven't recovered from my illness last night. It's nothing to worry about. Ahem... "
The Empress thought that since she had fainted, Emperor Yongping would finally come out, and was reciting the words of the self-torture tactic.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fu actually arranged for someone to help her return to the palace.
"Your Majesty, you should quickly ask someone to help you back to the palace. The Emperor is really busy, and praying for blessings is no joke. I hope Your Majesty will understand and care for the Emperor."
Lin Fu had no idea what Emperor Yongping was thinking and did not dare to say anything harsh to the Empress.
He was afraid that if the queen regained favor one day, he would lose his head.
Queen: “…”
When did this old man, Emperor Yongping, develop such a heart of stone?
Ten years of doting, was it all fake?
Old men are really unreliable.
But...what about her medicine?
Forget it. Now that things have come to this, we can only let those old maids in the study take care of it.
When Empress Yuan was alive, there were palace maids serving in Yu's study, and occasionally there would be female officials to help grind ink and organize memorials.
After ascending to the throne, she instigated Emperor Yongping to replace all the palace maids serving in Yu's study with maids.
The female official was not even allowed to enter the door of Yu's study.
"Eunuch Lin, I am not in good health, so please take this bowl of bird's nest to the emperor."
The queen took the food box from Hongye and handed it to Lin Fu.
The medicine was put into the bird's nest in advance.
To ensure that everything goes well, she specially asked the imperial teacher to refine the medicine into a colorless and odorless potion last night, which could not even be detected by a silver needle.
It wasn't that she didn't want to use the pills she used before, but she couldn't send them to Yu's study.
Although she lied to Emperor Yongping and said that it was a health-preserving pill, she always took it under such circumstances.
And she also said that not taking it will not affect the body.
Given Emperor Yongping's fondness for her, he would certainly not doubt her.
"Hey, don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely present the bird's nest you cooked yourself to His Majesty."
Lin Fu took the food box with both hands, responded with pretended courtesy, then bowed and extended a hand to show that he was seeing the guest off.
Alas, he didn't want to make himself look like a waiter.
But that's not the case, he was afraid that the queen would continue to nag.
The queen finally left, and Lin Fu returned to Yu's study with the food box.
"You old bastard, you are becoming less and less useful."
Emperor Yongping pretended to be angry.
"Alas, Your Majesty, you are right. I am useless. If I go out to deal with this, my legs and feet will be frozen."
Lin Fu knew that Emperor Yongping was joking with him, so he quickly made a joke as well.
"Come on, go warm yourself by the stove. I'm counting on you, an old man, to serve me."
Emperor Yongping said no more. He decided to explain some things to Lin Fu in private, so that he wouldn't be so hesitant next time the Empress came.
[Bones? Shu'er wants to chew on bones, ah wu ah wu. ]
Chu Qinshu heard someone talking about bones in her dream, and she started eating meat and bones.
Then, an unknown liquid flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Emperor Yongping: “…”
This child, he knows how to eat braised meat at such a young age?
Alas, he also has to be a vegetarian for 100 days, so the two grandparents and grandchildren can keep him company.
"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."
After Lin Fu put away the food box brought by the empress, he looked at the hourglass and reminded Emperor Yongping.
"Well, serve the food."
Although Sheng'an Kingdom attached great importance to agriculture, due to the scarcity of species and limited farming technology, edible grains, vegetables and meat were not abundant.
As an emperor, the standard lunch for Emperor Yongping was nine dishes, two staple foods and a bowl of soup.
The meals were delivered to Yu's study in lunch boxes.
When the food box is opened, the first layer is a round plate divided into nine compartments, each containing a different dish.
The second layer is a bowl of rice, a plate of hotpot stickers, and a bowl of vegetable soup.
There is not a trace of oily smell in the food, it is truly vegetarian.
Although Chu Qinshu was chewing meat and bones in her dream, it was just a dream after all.
As soon as Emperor Yongping held her and sat down at the table, she smelled the food and opened her eyes instantly.
[My Lord, I want to eat some meat, suck~]
Chu Qinshu moved her arms and legs, trying to see if she could grab something to taste.
Although she couldn't sit up and could only lie in Emperor Yongping's arms, it couldn't stop her desire to eat meat.
"Shu'er, are you awake? Can you let Aunt Yao hold you to pee and feed you?"
Emperor Yongping pretended not to hear her.
Not to mention that she is still young and can't eat meat at all.
Even if I want to eat, there must be meat on the table.
Since he told the Queen that he wanted to be a vegetarian, he must only eat vegetarian food on the surface.
[The girl went to pee and came back to eat meat. ]
Chu Qinshu looked towards Emperor Yongping with eyes full of anticipation.
Emperor Yongping: “…”
He avoided looking at her and quickly handed her over to Aunt Yao.
But in my heart I was thinking that next time I carry her to the study I have to make sure it’s during meal time.
Otherwise, if he couldn't resist and really fed her something, it would probably cause trouble.
"Your Majesty, would you like to use the bird's nest that the Queen sent?"
Lin Fu thought of the lunch box that had just been brought in.
He opened it and took a look. The bird's nest was kept warm on a warming plate, so it was just right to use it now.
Another thing is that Emperor Yongping was too vegetarian, and bird's nest could at least provide some nutrients that vegetables don't have.
