The Empress Wants To Be Deposed! - Chapter 20

Li Chengxuan looked at the fried brown tofu cubes in the plain white plate with a face, and he refused in his heart.

Song Jinning didn’t seem to see the tension on his face, and was still persuading with a diligent smile.

“You are welcome, Your Majesty, eat it while it’s hot. Otherwise, it won’t be crispy when it’s cold.”

Li Chengxuan did not move. I wonder if this thing is really edible? Isn’t Song Jinning teasing him on purpose?

But if he doesn’t eat, will Song Jinning look down upon him?

Just now when Song Jinning told him that stinky tofu might not smell very delicious, and most people in this world were afraid to take the chopsticks, he proudly said that he is the son of heaven, and there are a few people in this world who can compare with him.

Song Jinning also thought of his second second sentence at this time, and compared with his now hesitant expression, she was already smiling and stunned.

A smile was naturally inevitably revealed on the face.

“Your Majesty will not dare after all~”

She prolonged her tone and spoke deliberately. He even made a thoughtful look to “comfort” Lee Seung-hsun.

“But this is excusable. After all, most of the world is…”

Before he could say a word, he saw Li Chengxuan suddenly grasping a piece of stinky tofu with ebony-inlaid silver chopsticks in his hand, and then threw it into his mouth quickly.

Sure enough, the radical method is very effective for this majesty.

While holding back a smile, Song Jinning said, “Your Majesty, don’t swallow it directly. We have to chew slowly and understand carefully.”

Li Chengxuan thought, chewing slowly! Also carefully understand! If it hadn’t been for what I had said before, I would just retreat from a distance when I smell it.

He felt that he was clearly in the trap Song Jinning had set a long time ago.

Everyone will be allies in the future, even if they can’t be a couple, they can be cousins, but she will definitely want to leave a portion for him if there is something delicious, and in the end, that’s how he is!

Is this stinky tofu really for people to eat?

Li Chengxuan was very angry, and there was a bit of gnashing his teeth for a while.

But he accidentally bit the stinky tofu in his mouth.

Then the sullen expression on his face stiffened for a moment.

Then he tentatively took another bite of the stinky tofu.

Song Jinning sat cross-legged across a table with red sandalwood kang that was not too wide.

She had been looking at Li Chengxuan, and naturally saw the changes on his face. Naturally, I also knew that Lee Seung-hsun finally tasted the delicacy of stinky tofu.

With his left hand supporting Yi, Song Jinning tilted his head and smiled triumphantly.

“Your Majesty, how is it, I didn’t lie to you, this stinky tofu smells good, right?”

The chopsticks in his bare hand tapped the small plate on the kang.

“Don’t eat it like this. This is hot sauce. Dip it a little, and keeping it will give you a different experience.”

Li Chengxuan hesitated looking at the red hot sauce in the small dish.

But in the end, according to Song Jinning’s words, he took a piece of stinky tofu and lightly dipped it in the spicy sauce.

Indeed, as Song Jinning said, it gave him a different experience.

Quietly, he ate half a plate of stinky tofu. In fact, there is not much, probably just around the corner. Li Chengxuan finally put down the ebony chopsticks in his hand, raised his eyes and asked Song Jinning, “What is the lunch in your palace today?”

Song Jinning was beckoning to let Gu Yu take the mouthwash that he had prepared earlier, and said: “What are you asking about this? Didn’t you just say that you will go back to the Imperial Study Room to read the book later?”

Today is a day off, and Li Chengxuan has a rare leisure time, so he went to sit in the palace of the Empress Dowager Song in the morning.

The two mothers spoke for a while, and the Queen Mother Song hinted that Li Chengxuan was busy with government affairs recently, and Song Jinning was somewhat neglected, so Li Chengxuan came to Weiyang Palace after coming out of Shoukang Palace.

As a result, I saw that Song Jinning was making wine in full swing, and he was clearly enjoying himself.

When making wine with her, Li Chengxuan did say that there were still books to be read, but it was actually just an excuse.

Even though Song Jinning had opened the skylight with him a few days ago, Li Chengxuan still didn’t want to get along with her much.

It’s just that after eating this stinky tofu, I suddenly want to know what she is going to eat for lunch.

Involuntarily asked this sentence.

I don’t want to be asked by Song Jinning so bluntly…

Where can Lee Seung-sun’s face go? A handsome face tightened involuntarily.

“I just asked casually.”

Having said that, we must get up and stand up. Obviously meant to leave.

He fell in Song Jinning’s eyes like this, and he felt like a snowball with blown up fur, and the milk was fierce.

Song Jinning is very experienced in raising snowballs these days.

Moreover, for Li Chengxuan’s thoughts, I don’t know why, she always seems to be able to guess it easily.

“It’s nothing. It’s just claypot rice, roast goose, pigeon, boiled cabbage heart, snow clam and white fungus stewed papaya, chicken feet in black bean sauce, double skin milk, etc.,”

Song Jinning continued to support the food with his left hand, and after submitting the menu without delay, she asked with a smile, “Your Majesty, do you want to stay for a meal?”

Li Chengxuan: …

I really want to turn around and leave. But the dishes that Song Jinning reported were so exciting. There were even one or two dishes he had never heard of before, and he didn’t know whether it was delicious or not.

It should be delicious, right? She is such a person who likes to eat food, how can she see ordinary dishes?

But if she stays, will she be looked down upon…

In Li Chengxuan’s heart, heaven and man are at war.

Song Jinning didn’t have to let Li Chengxuan stay for dinner. She thinks it’s good to eat alone. But don’t know why, she found that she liked to tease Li Chengxuan.

Especially seeing that he was clearly shaken in his heart, but in order to maintain his emperor’s majestic face still with a solemn look, he felt that it was special and cute.

Song Jinning thought for a while, and felt that she might be addicted to the usual snowball teasing.

Right now, she wanted to laugh when Li Chengxuan wanted to stay, but it was hard to say because of the face.

“But since your Majesty has something to do, I’m not good to force it. Your Majesty…”

Song Jinning held back a laugh, and was about to continue teasing Li Chengxuan when he heard Li Chengxuan snorting softly.

Don’t say it, the hum is pretty nice, it’s very awkward and arrogant.

“Since you are sincerely asking to stay, how can I give your mind? No matter, I don’t think there is much to do with those few folds. It’s the same when I have lunch at your place.”

After finishing speaking, he held his chopsticks again and clamped a piece of stinky tofu, dipping the spicy sauce into the plate in a calm and elegant manner.

Song Jinning wanted to laugh out loud. But she also understood that if she really laughed, she would be irritated according to Li Chengxuan’s temperament.

I had to endure it with all my strength. Then Huan Gu Yu approached and ordered: “Your Majesty will stay for lunch. Go and talk to the small kitchen. Arrange all the dishes I just said.”

In fact, the original menu only consisted of claypot rice, roasted goose, pigeon, boiled cabbage heart, and white fungus stewed with papaya. The other dishes were only temporarily reported by her to play with Li Chengxuan.

Gu Yu agreed and turned around.

When the people in the small kitchen heard that the emperor would eat here at noon, it must be full of horsepower.

They have already started to make time-consuming desserts such as roast goose, pigeon, and white fungus stewed papaya with snow clams. The rest of the dishes are not quick dishes, but they are not very time-consuming.

Everything is ready in less than two sticks of incense.

Gu Yu led the maidservant over to serve food.

In addition to the dishes placed in the center of the table, Song Jinning and Li Chengxuan each had a black casserole and a white lid.

The maidservant stepped forward and lifted the lid, but it smelled tangy.

It is the claypot rice and snow clam and white fungus stewed papaya that Song Jinning mentioned earlier.

But see snow clams and white fungus stewed papaya with milky white color. Among them, the white white fungus and the yellow papaya rise and fall, and there are also a few vermilion goji berries.

Claypot rice is a combination of sauced duck, Chinese sausage and bacon. The white rice has a slightly browned rice crust on the edge.

In addition to the three kinds of wax goods on the rice surface, there are also a few green cabbage hearts and asparagus lying on the side.

Not to mention, this looks really good.

As for the smell, Li Chengxuan would say that when the maidservant lifted the lid, did he move his index finger when he smelled the scent?

No, he definitely can’t say!

He is the emperor of the rich world! What kind of precious mountain and seafood he hasn’t eaten before, how can he show such a small family spirit that has never seen the world?

He lowered his eyes and said nothing.

At this moment, Gu Yu picked up a small bowl with half a bowl of black soup in it. Li Chengxuan didn’t know what it was. Seeing Gu Yu tilted his wrist, all the dark brown soup inside was poured onto the claypot rice.

This claypot rice must have just left the fire, and this casserole is extremely heat-preserving, so when the maidservant lifted the lid of the casserole just now, Li Chengxuan could even see the oil on the edge of the casserole soaking slightly. At this moment, as soon as the soup was poured on, Li Chengxuan even heard a squeaky voice in his ears.

Just listening to this sound made people move their index fingers involuntarily.

Song Jinning was already holding the spoon in his left hand and the chopsticks in his right hand, ready to start. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Chengxuan sitting still, so he raised his eyes and smiled at him: “Your Majesty, please.”

There is a smile on the face of a delicate Begonia.

Li Chengxuan pursed his lips slightly. But he also learned Song Jinning’s way to hold the spoon in his left hand, and start with the chopsticks in his right hand.

Speaking of this claypot rice, Song Jinning thinks that the crispy and fragrant kang rice is the best. And in some places, there are some special soups poured in, which is especially delicious.

As for Li Chengxuan, as the Ninth Five-Year Lord, who dared to eat crispy rice for him before? It is estimated that the rice that I ate is also worthy of bijang rice, rouge rice and other steamed rice. I don’t even know that there will be a layer of rice under the steamed rice.

Now that I see it with my own eyes, I think it’s already very strange, not to mention that the crust of this claypot rice is obviously different from the crust of ordinary rice…

Song Jinning doesn’t have a big appetite. A casserole of claypot rice can’t be eaten after half a pot.

Only when she put down the spoon and chopsticks in her hand, she saw that the rice and rice crust in the casserole of Li Chengxuan on the other side were about to bottom out.

Song Jinning was slightly proud of it.

My cuisine in Greater China is so extensive and profound! So your Majesty, follow me in the future, let you see what it means to open the door to a new world.
