Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 76
Wei Yan propped the bed to the ground, and with some effort, opened the crumbling wooden door. Looking around, it seemed as if she had entered a small farmyard, not a palace.

There was a rake piled up at the corner of the wall, and there was a large flat stone beside it, on which a few unnamed grasses were spread out to dry.

She raised her hand, trying to support the door frame to go out, when she inadvertently touched a braid of garlic.

Still fresh.

There was no one around, but when she listened carefully, she could hear a slight voice of conversation. She searched for the sound and walked through the arch, and her voice became clear.

"Your Majesty, this fish can't be flipped right now, it needs to be fried for a while, or else..."

Dongyue couldn't speak as fast as Nan Zhen's movements. She held the spatula innocently, pointed at the carp that was broken into three pieces in the oil pan, "It's rotten."

Dongyue: "No, it's okay, let's eat by ourselves, and we won't lose face in front of others."

She didn't dare to let Nan Zhen touch the spatula again, so the two switched positions, and Nan Zhen went to add firewood instead.

"Your Majesty, turn down the fire, the fish will soon be mushy."

"Your Majesty, don't burn that pile of firewood, it's not dry yet!"

"My lady..."

A dish of braised carp was stuttering, and Dongyue poured the remaining soup in the pot and sprinkled a handful of green onions to complete it.

She took out four crabs from the ice bucket as if offering treasures, scrubbed them clean and steamed them in a steamer.

Nan Zhen poked her head next to her and looked at the crabs tied up with five flowers and groaned, "It's not the best season to eat crabs yet, and even the crabs that can be distributed to each palace are very few, where did you come from?"

"Xiaoguizi forced it to me."

Dongyue chuckled, and answered quickly, "I said no, no, but he didn't listen, and I have no choice."

Nan Zhen raised her eyebrows, why didn't she believe it?

The two were cooking while talking—Nan Zhen said the words, and Dongyue cooked the food. The kitchen was full of heat for a while, until Dahei barked twice, and Nan Zhen turned her head to find that Wei Yan was already standing at the door of the kitchen.

She froze for a moment, then walked out.

"Wake up, do you feel any discomfort?"

Wei Yan shook her head and smiled at her, "Thank you, Empress Li, for saving her last night, Wei Yan will remember it in her heart."

If not, I'm afraid she woke up this morning in a different situation.

Nan Zhen smiled back, as if she didn't regard this as a big deal, "It's okay, it's just a matter of convenience."

Wei Yan had a good impression of her during the brief contact in Qingfeng Hall. Since she had already knocked on the door of the cold palace last night, why not help?
When she looked at Wei Yan, Wei Yan was also looking at her calmly, very surprised in her heart.

I have heard for a long time that there is a lady in the Leng Palace who has an empty skin but is rotten inside. Now that I see it, I feel that it is quite different from the rumors.

She was only wearing a simple white dress, without any makeup, let alone a slanted red hairpin, only a sky-blue ribbon around her waist, which was enough to attract people's attention.

Wei Yan nodded slightly, "Mother, there was a lot of trouble last night. I didn't return all night. My family should be worried. Let's take a step first and come to thank you when I have time."

After all, he was going to go out.

Nan Zhen called her to stop, "It's time for lunch now, let's go after eating. If you haven't returned all night, it's not too late for half a stick of incense."

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking it was the same reason.

She didn't eat much last night, and after taking the medicine, she struggled a lot. There was nothing left in her stomach, and it was still a question of whether she could last until she went home.

Her face was slightly red, "Since that's the case, I won't be polite to your empress."
