My Lady is well

Chapter 91 Meal

Jing Ruzhang frowned and looked at her with sullen eyes, as if he didn't expect her to be so rude.

Does she really want to eat?

I'm afraid you want to make things difficult for the imperial chef?

He always followed the rules when eating, and he would eat whatever dishes were custom-made by the imperial kitchen.

If there are any special dishes you want to eat, just add one or two.

She was quite good, adding almost twenty items in one breath.

It's really hard for her to name so many dishes.

But when he saw the sparkling eyes, his heart softened inexplicably, and he unexpectedly agreed.

When Luo Zhong saw that he didn't say anything for a long time, he knew that he had agreed.

He was slightly startled and thought to himself, Oh my god.

I was secretly worried about Shen Yueyao just now, but I didn't expect that the emperor would agree.

This Shen Cainu is truly no ordinary person. She can dine with the emperor in the imperial study, a treatment that even the empress does not have.

It’s worth it for the royal chef to work hard today.

Shen Yueyao was a little dumbfounded when she saw the two tables piled high with dishes in front of her. She didn't expect that these were additional dishes on top of the emperor's meal.

However, she was thinking about her last meal, so she didn't care.

She picked up the chopsticks and started picking up food, and Luo Zhong quickly stopped her.

"Shen Cainu, the poison hasn't been tested yet."

Shen Yueyao sneered in her heart, thinking that having a meal was such a hassle.

She said calmly, "It doesn't matter. I will test the poison for the emperor today."

When she picked up a shrimp, her wrist was pinched, and the chopsticks shook, and the shrimp fell into the bird's nest.

She looked at him with frowned brows. His features were calm and contained a hint of majesty.

"Follow the rules."

Shen Yueyao's wrist slowly left his palm and she put down her chopsticks.

The young eunuch moved very slowly. He took a small bite and waited for a while to see if the poison had taken effect before trying the next dish.

Shen Yueyao felt uncomfortable with this kind of rule.

She looked a little anxious, and suddenly heard him speak coldly.

"You don't even know how to serve food?"

Shen Yueyao's breathing stagnated and she looked at him in confusion. When their eyes met, she felt a little confused.

Eunuch Luo hurried forward and spoke softly.

"Shen Cainu, you will dine with the emperor, and you will need to serve the dishes."

Shen Yueyao looked at the young eunuch blankly.

"Isn't he trying?"

Eunuch Luo choked, picked up the serving chopsticks and put a dish of ginger fish fillet that the young eunuch had just tried into the porcelain bowl in front of the emperor.

Shen Yueyao secretly complained in her heart, wondering if he didn't have hands? He even needed others to help him pick up some food.

I felt contempt in my heart and wanted to play a trick on him.

The salted beef was really salty, maybe the royal chef was in a bad mood today.

She kept serving him this dish, and sure enough, his face turned visibly darker.

Jing Ruzhang saw through her little thoughts and ordered the dishes himself.

Shen Yueyao felt that this was her last meal and was unwilling to accommodate him, so she deliberately picked the wrong dish.

"Shen Cainu named so many dishes in one breath, how come she doesn't even recognize them?"

Shen Yueyao pretended to be innocent and smiled, "Really? Did you pick the wrong one?"

The two of them chatted back and forth, competing with each other secretly as they finished their meal.

After rinsing her mouth, Shen Yueyao sat quietly for a while, seeing that he was reluctant to talk about how to deal with her affairs.

I wondered in my heart, was I wrong?

Jing Ruzhang looked at her meaningfully and wondered what was wrong with this woman?

Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, he raised his eyebrows.

"Can't you serve tea?"

Eunuch Luo walked up to her and explained with a smile.

"Shen Cainu, you are a concubine, and you are with the emperor. You have to do things like this personally."

Listen, is this human language? Her foot is still injured.

It seemed that he really had no intention of killing her.

Forget it, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

The palace maid brought the teacup and teapot to her. Shen Yueyao forced a smile and poured her a cup of tea, then handed it to him respectfully.

Pretending to be well-behaved and docile.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Jing Ruzhang didn't appreciate it and said sarcastically.

"You can't serve food or tea, what else can you do?"

Shen Yueyao's smile froze on her lips.

"I am stupid and I really don't know how to serve the emperor. The emperor should send a consort who is close to him to serve him. I think Concubine Wen Shu is a good one, and Concubine Wei is willing to do it on purpose."

Jing Ruzhang's eyes were slightly cold, and although his voice was cold, it did not contain any anger.

"You just addressed me, why did you change it now? Since you know your identity, these things are your responsibility. You have been in Yingxiu Palace for so long, didn't the housekeeper teach you these things?"

Of course she did, but she felt at that time that she would never have anything to do with him again in this life.

I didn't take any of the details about how to serve and please him seriously.

Later, he often went to Lady Meng's place to play mahjong, so he simply asked for leave from Aunt Shang frequently.

"Or...you didn't study seriously at all?"

Feeling her thoughts being seen through, Shen Yueyao gave him a perfunctory smile.

"My brain is not very good, I didn't remember it."

"Oh? Really? I see you're pretty good at remembering the names of dishes."

Shen Yueyao choked and lowered her head, unable to refute.

Seeing that she looked depressed, Jing Ruzhang stopped teasing her and just looked at her in men's clothing, frowning thoughtfully.

Shen Yueyao looked herself up and suddenly thought of a question. She bit her lip and thought about it, then decided to speak.

"Well...I'd better go back to Yingxiu Palace first."

"What? Still want to escape?"

His voice became a little colder.

Shen Yueyao's heart trembled when she heard this. She knew he had misunderstood and hurried to explain.

"No, I dare not. I just... I just feel that it is a little inappropriate to stay in this Zelu Palace, right?"

Jing Ruzhang's tone softened a bit.

"First, take care of your wounds. I will make arrangements for the rest."

Shen Yueyao originally thought that he should let her go back no matter what, but she didn't expect that he would let her stay here and face such a cold face every day.

this......

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

Jing Ruzhang turned his head and looked at her quietly, his expression intimidating without anger.

"What did you say?"

Shen Yueyao swallowed and dared not speak any more.

The young eunuch lowered his head and walked quickly towards him, bowing.

"Your Majesty, the Empress and Consort Wen Shu request to see you."

Jing Ruzhang was silent for a moment and said, "Let them in."

Shen Yueyao stood up and limped to the side.

"You don't even bow to me, and now you're afraid of them?"

"..."

Just now she thought she might not survive, so she dared to be so bold. Now she felt that she could still struggle, so naturally she had to try hard.

When the Queen and Concubine Wen came in and saw Shen Yueyao wearing men's clothes with her long hair loose, they were both shocked and looked at each other for a moment.

Everyone thought that Shen Yueyao died in a fire last night, but the Queen had her doubts.

She knew that there was more than one body in Luhua Pavilion.

When she heard today that the emperor had brought someone back from the palace, she guessed that it was Shen Yueyao.

But she didn't expect Shen Yueyao to be so bold as to fake her death and leave the palace.

What was even more unexpected was that the emperor actually went out of the palace himself and brought the person back.

She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. Putting aside the slight jealousy, she seemed to see that Shen Yueyao's value was far greater than she thought.
