Your Majesty, please come quickly

Chapter 697 She Doesn’t Understand The Pampering 2
At the round table, Ling Zimo sat on top, Xilan and Chu Qianqin sat on one side on the left and one on the right.

Compared with the past, the dishes tonight are not rich.Because Ling Zimo's internal injuries were not healed and his body was weak, the Tang doctor repeatedly told him not to give him too greasy food, and porridge and side dishes were the best.

But even if it's just porridge and side dishes, after being cooked by the imperial chef in the palace, it can still easily arouse people's appetite.

A plump grain of rice, stewed just right.In order to prevent the porridge from being tasteless, the chef specially added large prawns and shrimps, and supplemented with chopped green onion, shredded ginger, and coriander to enhance the deliciousness.

Fresh shrimp porridge served with a few refreshing side dishes made this dinner with only a few dishes, without the slightest drop in grade.

"Sister Yan has been with the emperor for the past few days, and it's a real treat." Chu Qianqin said casually while stirring the porridge with the spoon in her hand.

"Indeed." Xilan replied with a smile, "But it is also Xilan's good luck to have dinner with the emperor."

"That's not true." Chu Qianqin raised her eyebrows and smiled, "We can't eat the emperor's imperial meal every day."

The hierarchy in the palace is strict, and people of different levels have different living environment, attendants, clothing, and meals.

Being able to sit at the same table with the emperor and eat imperial meals together is not a good thing that can happen every day.

Looking up at the two of them, Ling Zimo said calmly, "So do you think the food in the harem is too bad?"

"I don't mean that." Chu Qianqin hastily explained, "I just want to say... there are not many chances to share dinner with you..."

Speaking of the second half of the sentence, her tone was already tinged with a little sorrow.

It seemed that because she hadn't seen each other for many days, she missed the emperor very much.However, the emperor did not remember her.

"Uh... Concubine, to be honest, the food in the harem is good, but the food here in the emperor's place is even better." Compared with Chu Qianqin's sympathetic performance, Xilan's answer can be said to be straightforward.

"Oh?" Ling Zimo raised his eyebrows, "Since that's the case, there's still a lot of porridge left, why don't you pack it up and take it home to continue drinking tomorrow?"

Can I take it home and continue drinking?
Xilan was slightly taken aback, then lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

In fact, taking food from Ling Zimo back to eat is already a routine for her.

Sometimes, he would even personally take the food box to Qiyan Pavilion, and bring one or two of her favorite side dishes to satisfy her hunger.

Packing her favorite porridge for her and letting her take it home to eat is his expression of doting on his wife.

But such a conversation fell into Chu Qianqin's ears, but she couldn't hear any meaning of petting.She just felt that the emperor was mocking the talented man who knew nothing about the sky and the earth.

The emperor's imperial meal has always been endless.Then the rest is usually given to the slaves in the palace to eat.

Or, it was transported back to the imperial dining room together with the food boxes and plates, and was shared by the palace members of the imperial dining room.

But now, he directly rewarded Xilan with the remaining porridge.

The palace concubines enjoy the same treatment as those in the Shangqing Palace and the imperial dining room. No matter how you look at it, Chu Qianqin doesn't think it's a real reward.

In her opinion, Yan Xilan's words must have annoyed the emperor just now, and the emperor deliberately embarrassed her.

Thinking of this, Chu Qianqin couldn't help showing a smug smile on her face.
