Chapter 305: She refused to leave? Wu Tan actually guessed her past

Hearing the Queen's voice, Shen Chuwei gave up the idea of ​​supporting Wu Tan. She turned around and looked behind her, and saw the Queen's guard of honor standing in a large area.

I feel that my humble home is a place of glory.

She stepped forward and bowed, "May the Queen be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Get up." The queen swept around Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which was even more shabby than Xiyun Pavilion. Both the house and the environment were much worse.

Maybe it's because of being in the cold palace, which makes people feel depressed.

The queen retracted her gaze and looked at Shen Chuwei. Her fair little face had a slightly flushed look and she looked pretty.

"Just stay here and relax. We'll let you out after a while."

"Thank you, Queen, for your concern." Shen Chu glanced at the bushes. Afraid that the Queen would find Wu Tan here, she took two steps forward and said, "Queen, I have some fresh fruits here. Would you like to try some?"

The queen nodded, "Okay."

Shen Chuwei took the empress into the house. There were no decorations inside, even the furniture was very old.

But after cleaning up, it became much cleaner and fresher. With the popularity, the sense of perception also changes.

The queen sat down on the couch with her skirt lifted. Before Chunxi brought the fruit, she pointed at the things in the palace maid's hand and said, "These are some daily necessities, and some cakes."

Shen Chuwei looked in the direction of the empress's finger and saw the palace maids placing things on the table one by one, including rouge, powder, hair oil, hair cream, Sichuan brocade bedding, soft jade pillow... and six plates of various cakes.

She suddenly felt a little flattered. Why was the Queen suddenly so nice to her?

The Queen Mother said, "I see that you don't like gold or silver jewelry, and your makeup is light. Even though you are imprisoned in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, you should still be elegant and decent. So I will give you some rouge and powder."

The Queen was afraid that if Shen Chuwei stayed in Xiaoxiang Pavilion for too long, she would become like those women in the cold palace.

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your kindness." Shen Chuwei touched her face secretly. She usually ignored it after washing it. Could it have become rough?

Chunxi brought fresh cherries, peaches, and plums, placed them in front of the empress, and then stepped back.

When the queen saw Cherry, her beautiful eyes lit up.

After eating it last time, she had been thinking about it ever since. Only the prince knew where it was, but because of the issue of offspring, she was too embarrassed to ask.

"The cherries were given to you by the prince, right?" the queen said, and she couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in her mouth to taste it. The taste was the same.

Shen Chuwei thought of the last time Xiao Jinyan had someone send some to her, so she agreed with a guilty conscience.

There are three cherry trees in total, and they are full of cherries. We can’t eat all of them even if we eat them every day.

Before she knew it, the whole plate of cherries had gone into the queen's stomach. When she saw that it was empty, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Shen Liang Di, if you need anything in the future, please let me know and I will have someone send it to you."

"I will." Shen Chu nodded. "I want to eat hot pot. Can the Queen ask the kitchen to send some beef, mutton, and meatballs?"

Eating hot pot in summer makes you sweat profusely, but it is refreshing.

"It's not difficult." The Queen instructed Eunuch Ren, "Ask the kitchen to bring over everything that Lady Shen Liang needs."

Yes." Eunuch Ren took the order and went to the kitchen.

The Queen then asked curiously, "What is a hot pot?"

Uh! Shen Chuwei explained: "My Queen, it's similar to a soup pot, very spicy, with sliced ​​beef and mutton eaten in hot pot."

The queen nodded, not quite understanding, "I have never eaten hot pot before, so it's a good opportunity for us to try it together."

"Okay." After Shen Chuwei agreed, she suddenly remembered that Wu Tan was still in the bushes. It was very sunny outside. What if he got a fever?

She suggested, "Isn't the Queen busy? How about we have hot pot together next time?"

"Not busy. I've been a bit free these past two days." The queen waved her hand. Even if she was busy, she would take some time out to try the new hot pot.

Shen Chuwei failed to convince the Empress and was worried about Wutan in the bushes.

The kitchen sent a lot of beef and mutton. Chunxi had eaten hot pot many times, so he knew the process of making hot pot very well.

It didn't take long for the hot pot ingredients to be prepared.

The hot pot base is ready-made, just boil it with water.

In the soup pot, red oil is boiling.

Shen Chuwei picked up some mutton and beef and put them in. Then he added some enoki mushrooms, kelp, and rice noodles, put them in a bamboo basket and put them into the soup pot.

The queen quietly watched Shen Chuwei's actions, then looked at the soup pot. Just one glance and she knew it was spicy and delicious. She picked up the chopsticks impatiently.

Shen Chuwei is an expert at eating hot pot and knows when the meat and vegetables are cooked.

After she was done, she put some mutton and beef into the bowl in front of the queen, as well as some vegetables.

Without waiting for Shen Chuwei to say anything, the queen picked up the mutton in the bowl, blew on it, and put it into her mouth. It was a little hot, but it tasted good, so she ignored it.

Shen Chuwei hadn't eaten for some time, so she was extremely hungry. The presence of the Empress did not affect her eating speed.

The Empress had originally let Qingying serve the dishes, but this time she did it herself, picking up whatever she wanted to eat, and doing it quickly, fiercely and accurately.

How could Shen Chuwei, a veteran hotpot eater, be slower than the queen? After a short while, the mutton and beef in the pot were almost all eaten.

Chunxi was adding more dishes with chopsticks.

Not wanting to be outdone, the queen tried it a few times until she became proficient at it.

The two ate while wiping their noses with handkerchiefs, and praised: "So spicy, so delicious."

After eating the hot pot, both of them were full.

After the queen was comforted, Qingying called for the phoenix chariot.

When you come, you walk; when you leave, you are carried out.

Before leaving, the queen said, "I'll come back next time."

Shen Chuwei: “…” Is this an addiction?

As soon as the queen left, Shen Chuwei immediately ran to the backyard.

When she came to the bushes in the backyard, she saw a monk with a red face, which was caused by being exposed to the sun.

Sweat was pouring down his forehead from his handsome eyebrows.

Hai Qing was already soaked in sweat while serving, and was wet.

But Wu Tan sat as still as a bell, with his hands clasped together and his eyes closed.

It looks like meditation.

Shen Chuwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up. She really admired his determination. In order to avoid suspicion and not let the queen find out, he could sit for more than an hour~

"Wutan, get up. The Queen has left."

Wu Tan slowly opened his eyes, sweat dripping from his long eyelashes, and saw Shen Chuwei's pretty little face.

"Let me help you up." Shen Chuwei said as she went forward to help him up. She found that he was soaked and walked a little unsteadily.

"Don't do such dangerous things next time. I'll let him serve you food."

Wu Tan declined: "No, I should go back now."

Shen Chuwei was a little worried, "But you are in this state now. What if you fall down while climbing the wall?"

"The poor monk will be more careful." Wu Tan leaned against the wall and hesitated for a moment. He asked, "Has Shen Liangdi ever lost her memory?"
