Chapter 148 The Queen helped to cover up the lie and even prayed to Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth...
Shen Chuwei paused while pouring the water, and when she looked up, she saw the Empress staring at her with curiosity, making her feel like she was caught cheating.
Well, she was indeed cheating.
"Your Majesty, I am eating instant noodles."
The queen was originally out for a walk, and when she saw Shen Chuwei acting suspiciously, she followed her out of curiosity, not expecting that she was stealing food.
She leaned over and took a closer look. She had never seen this kind of food in her life.
"What is instant noodles?"
Shen Chuwei explained: "Instant noodles are a type of noodle and they taste good."
"Well, would the Queen like a bucket?"
Forget it, whoever sees it gets a share!
No, that's called bribery.
The queen looked at the dry noodles and the dark stuff inside and questioned, "Is this edible?"
Shen Chuwei answered affirmatively, "Of course you can eat it."
The queen asked again, "How does it taste?"
Shen Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "I think it tastes good."
The Queen was so sure when she saw Shen Chuwei speak. She was hungry at the moment, so she decided to try it. It didn't cost any money anyway.
"Really? How about letting me taste it?"
The queen reached out to take the instant noodle bucket, but Shen Chuwei stopped her in time, "Your Majesty, you can't eat now."
The queen asked in confusion, "Why?"
It's not dry noodles, you can eat it dry~
Shen Chuwei explained: "Instant noodles need to be soaked in hot water for a while before eating."
The queen suddenly realized, "So that's it."
"Your Majesty, please sit down and wait for a moment. I will go first."
"Okay." The queen sat down on the stool and waited patiently.
Shen Chuwei poured hot water in and then covered it.
The queen was very patient and never urged her to eat.
About six minutes later, Shen Chuwei opened the lid, stirred it with a fork for a while, and then placed both hands in front of the empress, "Your Majesty, you can eat now."
Then he handed the fork to the Queen.
The queen held a fork and stared at the steaming noodles for a while. Out of curiosity, she picked up the noodles with the fork, blew on them to cool them down, and then put them into her mouth to chew.
It was a flavor she had never had before, but it was surprisingly delicious.
But she wasn't used to using a fork, so she wanted to use chopsticks.
But I couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so I just had to eat it.
Shen Chuwei watched the Empress eating with gusto and felt even hungrier. She licked her lips.
While the queen wasn't paying attention, she turned and ran out.
When the Queen saw Shen Chuwei suddenly run away, she wanted to ask her where she was going, but she was eating noodles and couldn't spare the time to ask.
Shen Chuwei suddenly ran away in order to secretly take instant noodles from the space; she also wanted to eat them.
When she came back, she had a bucket of instant noodles in her hands, the packaging of which had been torn open on the way.
The Queen finally found time to ask Shen Chuwei, "Where have you been?"
"I'll go get the instant noodles." Shen Chuwei put the instant noodles on the table, took out the seasonings with ease, tore them open and put them in one by one, then poured hot water on them.
The Queen praised: "The instant noodles taste good, better than vegetarian rice."
"Of course." Shen Chuwei was not exaggerating, instant noodles were a favorite of most people, especially those who were eating it for the first time, who found it even more delicious.
After waiting for a few minutes, Shen Chuwei also started eating.
The two of them didn't say anything else because they were both hungry and eating was the most important thing.
The queen was wiping her nose with a handkerchief while eating. At this moment, she was a little different from her usual aloof appearance. In front of the delicious food, she didn't care whether her behavior was elegant or not, proper or not.
Shen Chuwei also held a handkerchief and wiped her food while eating, with a very rhythmic sense.
After eating and drinking enough, Shen Chuwei touched his stomach with satisfaction.
The queen was also very contented as she slowly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. She found that she was a little cold just now, but after eating the instant noodles, her whole body began to feel hot.
She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei who was sitting opposite her and said, "Shen Liangdi, it's time to go back."
Shen Chuwei also felt that it was time to go back, otherwise Xiao Jinyan would be worried.
"good."
The queen stood up and walked ahead with dignified steps.
Shen Chuwei followed behind slowly.
After finishing his lunch, Xiao Jinyan sat and waited for Shen Chuwei to come back, but she didn't see her. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Chang Liang Di came over slowly with a cup of fresh tea in her hand and offered the tea, "Your Highness, please drink some tea to warm yourself up."
How could Xiao Jinyan have the mood to drink tea at this moment?
He refused coldly, "No need."
Chang Liang Di saw Xiao Jinyan looking outside from time to time, so she comforted him, "Your Highness, Shen Liang Di is not a child anymore. She will know when to come back after going out."
But in my heart I was thinking, it would be better if I could not come back after going out.
When Xiao Jinyan's cold gaze swept over Chang Liangdi, she couldn't help but shudder.
In Xiao Jinyan's eyes, Shen Chuwei is just a child.
I thought, the White Horse Temple is so big, could Xiaojiu be lost?
Thinking of this possibility, he walked out quickly.
As soon as I walked out, I saw the Queen and Shen Chuwei walking towards me one after another.
He then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When the man came closer, he asked in a low voice: "Why are you back now?"
Shen Chuwei glanced at the Queen and said, "Your Highness, I met the Queen on my way back, and we came back together."
The Queen went out to have an affair with Shen Chuwei, so naturally she had to help cover up the lie.
"Shen Liangdi is right. We just happened to chat for a while and delayed the conversation for a while."
Chang Liangdi was unhappy when she saw the Empress and Shen Liangdi coming back together. Shen Chuwei seduced the prince to compete for favor, and now she is trying to please her aunt?
Her aunt is there to support her, and she can't let Shen Chuwei snatch her away.
Chang Liangdi walked forward with a smile and took the empress's arm, reminding her gently: "Aunt, it's windy outside, you should go in first."
The queen nodded guiltily, "Yes, we go in first."
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Shen Chuwei and the Queen, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
After lunch, the Queen took the Prince, Chang Liangdi and Shen Chuwei to worship Buddha.
First, pray for the emperor's safety.
Another thing is to have a grandson as soon as possible so that she can have a chance to show off.
It takes about an hour to worship Buddha and chant scriptures.
The queen knelt upright, beating a wooden fish in her hand and muttering something.
Xiao Jinyan also knelt straight.
Shen Chuwei is a modern person, how could she endure kneeling for a long time? Her legs were already numb.
She rubbed her legs in agony.
Xiao Jinyan noticed Shen Chuwei's actions and asked in a low voice: "Does your leg hurt?"
Shen Chu nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Well, I can't kneel any longer."
Xiao Jinyan soothed him, "Just bear with it, it will be over soon."
Shen Chuwei was about to break apart.
You shouldn’t say that. If it hurts, don’t kneel!
Xiao Jinyan, where is your domineering CEO style?
Just when Shen Chuwei was about to give up, the Empress stood up.
Shen Chuwei couldn't even get up because her legs were numb.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan reached out and lifted her up. She was very light and was easily lifted up.
Shen Chuwei put all her body weight on Xiao Jinyan.
The Queen said, "Come on, I will take you to worship the Goddess of Childbirth."
Shen Chuwei's legs went limp. What? Still want to pray to Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth?
