Xuan Ling placed a plate of rosy pork elbows in front of Sheng Xiyan.
The Imperial Kitchen Manager bowed and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, Madam Chenfei, this is a new dish I've created: 'Sea Cucumber Elbow' with sea cucumber.
Carefully selected skinless and boneless pork elbows are boiled, deep-fried, and steamed with sea cucumbers. This dish is rich in nutrients, fatty but not greasy, and melts in your mouth.
Xuan Ling praised:
"The Imperial Kitchen has done a good job this time, there is a reward.
This pork elbow has a beautiful shape, and it must be soft and glutinous, with a mellow and non-greasy taste.
My beloved, don't just stand there, start eating."
Sheng Xiyan picked up the enamel knife and fork, cut a piece and ate it.
Squinting his eyes, he said intoxicatedly:
"Mm, it's soft and delicious. Your Majesty, please try it too."
Xuan Ling picked up the sea cucumber,
"I eat sea cucumbers, and the pork elbows are all yours."
Just eat. After being hungry for a day, you should replenish your energy.
No matter how delicious the food is, one bite is fragrant, two bites are greasy, and three bites will make you vomit all over the floor.
After finishing the first dish, Xuan Ling used a handkerchief to wipe the braised sauce from the corner of her mouth.
"My dear, you are doing very well. Keep going."
Sheng Xiyan burped and covered her mouth shyly.
Unpleasant, mouth full of pork taste.
After calming down, he took Xuan Ling's hand.
"Your Majesty, I can't eat anymore. Can I stop eating?"
Xuan Ling picked up a big piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
"My dear, you dared to jump into the Taiye Lake in the middle of the night. Such courage is unmatched by the spirit of a heroine. How could a small pork elbow faze you? You can definitely eat it all."
"Your Majesty, do you know what comes after one bite... two bites... three bites...?
The four of us will send me off to the west, and the five of us will meet again in the next life.
I will say goodbye to you first, lest I die from eating too much. Please take good care of me."
Xuan Ling remained unmoved and ate the Longjing shrimp elegantly.
The more Sheng Xiyan chewed, the more nauseous she felt.
Xuan Ling said coldly, "Don't vomit. This is only the second dish. You've lost a lot of weight recently. I don't like it. Hurry and gain some weight back."
Sheng Xiyan ate while muttering and feeling nauseous.
She stuffed the last piece of the second plate into her mouth.
Chewing while crying, this is torture, eat it until you die in front of you.
She was burping and vomiting. Xuan Ling looked at her and saw that her face was red and she just refused to swallow.
Her cheeks are bulging like two big red peaches.
He quickly took the plate and put it on, "He vomited."
Sheng Xiyan turned her face away and continued to vomit, crying and chewing.
Xuan Ling forced her over and placed his palm on her chin.
He said in a gentle tone, "I'm about to throw up."
Sheng Xiyan looked at him tearfully, her eyes sparkling with resentment and anger.
Xuan Ling pinched her jaw with his other hand, forcing her to open her mouth, and spit the chewed elbow meat into his palm.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly brought a lotus porcelain bowl and took out the vomit. Two palace maids quickly washed Xuan Ling's hands.
Sheng Xiyan cried and felt nauseous and vomited.
Xuan Ling wiped his hands and patted her on the back.
Taking the tea and letting him rinse his mouth, Sheng Xiyan turned away.
"Just rinse your mouth quickly and it won't hurt."
"No... Since the Emperor is so cruel to punish me... why do I still feel bad?"
Xuan Ling said: "All of you go down."
Eunuch Fu and his men quickly took their leave.
The hall became quiet. Xuan Ling stood up and walked around in front of the carved window before coming back.
Sheng Xiyan was still crying, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Her red lips were pursed, her face was red and white from crying, and her eyelashes were covered with tears.
The beauty's tears are like pearls, crystal clear and endearing.
Xuan Ling hardened his heart.
"You still think you're right? Do you want me to call the general over and let him know what you did tonight?
As a mother, when you jumped into the river in anger, did you ever think about your children?
Even if I love him more than I can, it can't make up for your role."
He knows best that the pain in the heart of a child without a mother's love is incurable.
Sheng Xiyan choked up and said:
"From childhood to adulthood, my father, mother and brother never scolded me. The most scolding I received was at the Prince of E's Mansion, where I was bullied by the Princess and the Crown Prince's Consort.
I thought the Emperor was different from them, but he has been insulting me these past few days...
Everything I do is wrong..."
Xuan Ling was about to speak when Sheng Xiyan spoke first:
"You must be saying I'm a fool and deserve to be scolded.
I am your dog, and as a slave I must be obedient and cannot disobey your orders..."
Tears streamed down her accusing face, like pear blossoms in the spring rain.
Xuan Ling thought back to what happened in the past few days, and she felt that she had indeed put too much pressure on him.
Sitting beside me, wiping my tears with a handkerchief,
"What did I scold you for? I didn't scold you, I just expressed some expectations..."
Sheng Xiyan sobbed, her delicate shoulders twitching.
"You said I was a dog, that I was unworthy of this and that, and that I was a weird thing..."
He held her in his arms with his slender arms, caressing her soft black hair.
"I won't say these words again in the future. I'm not sad anymore."
She rested her forehead on the pulse point in his neck, and her mind gradually calmed down.
"Your Majesty, please stop scolding me, okay?"
"No more scolding."
Xuan Ling touched her head with his big hand and pressed it into his arms.
The failure of education,
Deeply saddened.
I can only silently say: My beloved...
If he wants to train Sheng Xiyan into the person he wants, he needs to think of other ways.
In fact, he had no requirements for her, he just wanted her to have only him in her heart.
Let her know that there is no room for a third person in love.
"Is your stomach still upset?"
