When Jiang Jingyue received these items, she took a look at them and was relieved to find that they contained everything she needed.
"Do you have a knife? Take a little of these things, chop them up, add some salt, sesame oil, and small chili peppers, and mix well."
As soon as Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, an old woman next to her immediately pulled out a knife from somewhere and began to act.
Seeing that she had prepared everything quickly and efficiently, with only one last thing left, Jiang Jingyue took action herself.
She first added a little salt, then some sesame oil, diced chili peppers, and other pre-cut ingredients.
After everything was prepared, Jiang Jingyue stirred it. Once it was stirred, the dipping sauce was ready.
Jiang Jingyue dipped a little in the water first, then placed it next to Tuoba Zheng's mouth and spoke to him.
"Tuoba Zheng, you should try this, it's delicious."
This was Tuoba Zheng's first time trying something so novel, so he hesitated, unsure whether he should speak. However, seeing that the little woman had already brought the food to her mouth and was looking at him expectantly, he was quite taken aback.
At that moment, he simply didn't want to eat!
Because he didn't want to disappoint the young woman's kindness, Tuoba Zheng finally opened his mouth and ate what Jiang Jingyue handed him.
After chewing a few times, his eyes lit up instantly. It was a very unique and delicious flavor that gave the meat, which originally only had its natural aroma, an even richer fragrance.
Seeing that Tuoba Zheng had already swallowed it, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but ask him a question.
"Tuoba Zheng, how is it? Is it delicious?"
Seeing the little woman looking at him expectantly, Tuoba Zheng nodded.
"Granny Li, please prepare one for them and let them try it. This mutton, paired with this dipping sauce, really has a unique flavor."
Xiao Hua is the younger sister of Tuoba Zheng, so whenever she has time, she often comes here to eat with Tuoba Zheng.
Just then, she arrived. When she heard Tuoba saying that the dipping sauce Jiang Jingyue had made was delicious, she rolled her eyes with a hint of disdain.
"Your Majesty, do you think that because she is someone you like, you think everything she does is good?"
Xiao Hua's words made Tuoba Zheng feel very uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but yell at Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, what nonsense are you spouting? If you keep doing this, don't come here again. You're not welcome here."
Tuoba Zheng's words made Xiao Hua collapse instantly. She glared at Jiang Jingyue, realizing that her condition was all Jiang Jingyue's fault.
The king had never spoken to her so harshly before, but this time, he not only yelled at her but also told her never to come again. How could she accept that?
"Your Majesty, why have you become like this? You weren't like this before. You never used to yell at me like this. Isn't it because this woman came that you've changed?"
Tuoba shook his head as he looked at her angry face.
"Xiaohua, you're too obsessed with Yueyue. After today, don't come to this place anymore. Yueyue is quite delicate, and I'm afraid you might upset her unintentionally."
Upon hearing these words, Xiaohua's tears instantly streamed down her face. She had never imagined that the king would treat her like this.
"Your Majesty, no...you can't treat me like this. I love you so much, I really can't bear it if you treat me like this."
Your Majesty, can't you take me in too? In our land, what man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Are you really going to live your life with just this one woman?
Is she really that good, a woman from the Central Plains, so good that you'd give up everything for her?
Xiaohua really couldn't imagine what it would be like if a man only had one woman.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Xiao Hua wanted to say something more, but Tuoba Zheng waved her away.
"Stop talking and get out of here! I don't want to hear anything you say right now."
Since Tuoba Zheng had said that, Xiao Hua had no choice but to back down, even though she felt helpless.
Seeing that the annoying person had finally left, Tuoba immediately spoke to Jiang Jingyue.
"Yueyue, eat quickly, eat more. In the future, I will definitely not let people you don't like bother you anymore."
"If you don't like someone, you can just have the soldiers kick them out, understand?"
Hearing Tuoba Zheng say this, Jiang Jingyue nodded.
"I understand, Tuoba Zheng. Are there any fun places to visit around here? After we finish eating, will you take me around to see the sights?"
Actually, Tuoba Zhenggang still has a lot of things to do after returning, but since Jiang Jingyue has already asked, he certainly won't refuse.
"Of course! I'll show you around in a bit; I'm sure you'll love it here."
Tuoba Zheng was right; she would indeed like it here. The air was exceptionally fresh, making one feel comfortable just by smelling it.
"Yueyue, this is where we usually train. If you need something and can't find me, you can come here to find me, understand?"
Jiang Jingyue nodded. Although she felt that she would definitely not be able to find this place if she came alone, she could only nod since Tuoba Zheng had said so.
Spring has passed and autumn has come. Jiang Jingyue has been here for a year now, and her belly has remained flat. The ministers in Tuoba's palace are not happy about this.
They all urged Tuoba Zheng to remarry the Queen, but Tuoba Zheng simply wouldn't listen. He only wanted to marry Jiang Jingyue in his entire life; he didn't need or care for any other women.
"Your Majesty, a country cannot be without an heir! My Tuoba Dynasty has such a vast territory, will it eventually fall into a situation where there is no one to inherit it?"
"I hope Your Majesty will fill the harem more often, so that our dynasty may have many descendants as soon as possible."
Tuoba Zheng wouldn't listen to a single word these people said, and it was simply impossible for him to take another woman.
"There's no need to say more about this. I will not take any more concubines. No matter how much you say, it won't make a difference."
As soon as Tuoba Zheng finished speaking, he left without looking back. This large group of people said the same thing every day. They weren't annoyed, but he was.
It's more comfortable to go find a little woman. Tuoba Zheng couldn't wait to think of Jiang Jingyue and immediately went to Jiang Jingyue's place.
