Chapter 1298 Observation
“Take a look yourself and pick up the food.” He said in a deep voice.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu looked at the food on the table and picked up some food, placing it on a larger plate. She offered them to him and said: “Try these.” She had picked some mild tasting food first. She saw that he only took a bite of each dish then moved them to the side. He pointed to the pork shank in the middle and said: “Pork shank, bring some to me.”
“All right.” She smiled and picked out the dish he pointed to.
Soon, she realised that he was very picky in eating. He only took a bite of everything and he only ate two pieces of the pork shank. He didn’t seem to have eaten much of the large table of food before he put his chopsticks down.
“Your Majesty, freshly brewed spirit tea.” She served the tea.
He glanced at her and took the tea. After taking a sip of the tea, he gently moved the lid over the tea cup. His deep voice was majestic as he spoke: “Tomorrow morning you will collect flower dew for me to make tea for me. You have to collect them by yourself and not get other people to do it.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” She responded with a smile. Was he testing her? Seeing that he is Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s father, she will do what he says!
Upon seeing her agreeing without saying much more, the Your Majesty didn’t say anything but just got up and walked out.
Feng Jiu blinked her eyes as she watched him leave then looked at the palace servant who was waiting at the side: “Is Your Majesty going back now?”
“He’s going back.” The palace servant responded with a smile. The next moment, he saw the beautiful woman sitting down at the long table and she started eating without a care. Seeing this, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch upwards in surprise.
She actually dared to sit down to eat the Emperor’s royal meal? Her courage was outrageous.
“What is this dish?” She asked, picking up a piece of pastry shaped like a lotus flower. Other than the dishes she had picked out for the Emperor to eat, the rest had remained untouched. Therefore, she had sat down to eat. Besides, it would only go to waste otherwise.
“This is lotus cake, it is made using fresh lotus flowers. It is fragrant in the mouth and has the effect of cleansing the heart and reducing heatiness.” The palace servant stepped forward hurriedly and replied.
“Oh? What about this one?” After she ate the lotus cake, she picked up another dish and asked.
“This is….”
Feng Jiu sat there eating while the palace servant stood next to her explaining and watching her eat. She seemed to have a great appetite and ate quite a lot of food, as if she had come over here for a meal, the sense of ease about her and the palace guards couldn’t help but look at her secretly.
When the Emperor learned about what had happened after he left, he was slightly surprised. He smiled and said: “That silly girl has no worries at all, just let her be!” What sort of family clan had produced and taught such a woman? Apparently the Scarlet Water Crown Prince’s hands were still swollen and the doctors couldn’t figure out the reason behind it. This made him look at her with some admiration.
Even Scarlet Water’s accompanying doctor couldn’t figure out the reason, it seemed that this woman had some skills!
Xuanyuan Mo Ze was waiting in the courtyard when he heard about Feng Jiu eating the royal meal and he couldn’t help but smile. Finally, he was able to relax and he returned to his room to rest. It wasn’t until the sky had gone dark when he heard her talking to Gray Wolf in the courtyard outside.
He walked out of the room and saw her smiling face. He walked towards her and asked: “Are you full?”
“Oh? You know about it? Hahaha, the food in your Imperial Father’s palace is more abundant than the food in your residence. There was a whole table full of food, there were so many that I have never eaten before either, I’m afraid I ate a bit too much.”
