"Since you find it convenient to use, there's no need to change it. But remember to bring the medical records to me for review every day."
"This servant understands. I will go and inform Physician Hu on the way."
"Wait!"
"Your Majesty...do you have any further instructions?"
Emperor Wei Xian's gaze inadvertently fell on a bowl of peach blossom chicken soup across the table. From a distance, the chicken looked white, tender, and plump, with a silky and tempting appearance, and even the soup was a pale pink color, just like peach petals.
For some reason, he thought of the beautiful sight he had seen on Chu Yuan that day, which was just as irresistible.
Li Gonggong thought that Emperor Wei Xian wanted to eat chicken, so he quickly signaled Xiao Luzi to bring the chicken closer.
Emperor Xian of Wei picked up a piece with his chopsticks, slowly put it in his mouth, and found it to be refreshing and not greasy at all, melting in his mouth.
A faint smile instantly crept onto his tightly pursed lips. "This peach blossom chicken will surely be of interest to Consort Yuan. You may give it to her as a gift."
Father-in-law Li smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Yes, sir."
Walking down the street, Father-in-law looked at the two dishes on his godson's tray and said meaningfully, "Little Lu, your godfather has a question for you. Let's see if you can answer it correctly."
Xiao Lu raised an eyebrow. "Alright, Godfather, just tell me."
"Of the two dishes you have here, one is roast pigeon, and the other is peach blossom chicken. Which one do you think His Majesty truly prefers?"
"Huh?" This stumped Xiao Luzi.
He looked at the dish containing the pigeon, then at the dish containing the peach blossom chicken, and finally patted his head. “He should like them both. The pigeon is nourishing, and the peach blossom chicken is delicious. They are both good for your health. In my opinion, His Majesty is unlikely to favor one of these two dishes over the other.”
Father-in-law Li chuckled, "You're still too green."
"How so?" Xiao Luzi stared intently at Grandpa Li, humbly seeking his advice.
Li Gonggong liked his willingness to learn the most, so he immediately shared his knowledge without holding back, and ordered two dishes. "If these two dishes are just two simple dishes, then they are no different from what you said."
The emperor was never picky about what he ate.
But now the two dishes have been given to different people. Think about it: who got the roast pigeon, and who got the peach blossom chicken? Why were they chosen this way? Is there any particular reason or significance to it?
After taking a few steps, Xiao Luzi suddenly realized what he meant and excitedly stopped in his tracks: "Godfather, I understand!"
"What do you understand? Tell me." Eunuch Li smiled but didn't say anything, testing whether this adopted son was a good deal or not.
Xiao Lu chuckled, "Your Majesty prefers Peach Blossom Chicken!"
Because the Peach Blossom Chicken is beautiful and looks exactly like the Kite Lady, it's pleasing to the eye.
As for squab, its greatest benefit is its nourishment. When people eat it, they don't care whether it looks good or not; as long as it achieves its intended effect, that's enough.
This is similar to the case of Consort Xin, who was pregnant. When the Emperor thought of her, it wasn't because he was thinking of her as a person, but only because he was thinking of the child in her womb.
