<--> The sound of the door opening startled Banxiang, and he turned around to look. Seeing that the emperor was coming, he immediately stepped aside and saluted: "Slave, please see the emperor."
"What's wrong, Queen?" Jun Qianche strode over, came to the edge of the bed, sat down, and looked at Mo Qiqi, who was stunned.
His face was pale and bloodless, his eyes were dull, his silky long hair was spread behind him, and his forehead was wrapped with a circle of white gauze. He sat in front of her, and she seemed not to notice. His appearance was very distressing. .
Banxiang quickly reported what she knew to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, the empress had breakfast early in the morning, then went to various toilets, and ran around in each toilet for a long time. She didn't stop until noon, had lunch and rested. After a while, she continued to go to the toilet in the afternoon. Later, the empress went to the toilet in the rose garden and asked the slave to wait outside. She went in alone, but she didn't come out. The slave was worried that there would be an accident, so she rushed in and went in. Later, I found that the queen was injured on her forehead and bleeding a lot, so she quickly helped her out and called the imperial doctor."
"What did the imperial doctor say?" Jun Qianche asked nervously.
"Back to the emperor, the imperial doctor said that the empress's injuries were not serious, her body was fine, and the fetus was fine. However, since the empress was helped back, she has been in a daze, not talking or paying attention to anyone." Banxiang He looked at his master worriedly.
Jun Qianche looked at Mo Qiqi at this time, very worried and scared, but he hid his emotions very well, and said calmly: "You all go down! Let me talk to the queen. ."
"Yes!" Banxiang and Eunuch Lin retreated.
Jun Qianche looked at Mo Qiqi and said warmly: "Qiqi, what's wrong with you? What happened? Tell me."
Mo Qiqi remained silent.
Jun Qianche took her hand and said warmly: "Qiqi, if you have anything to tell me, I am the king of a country. No matter what you want to do, just tell me and I will definitely help you achieve it. What are you doing these days?" Are you looking for something when you put so much effort into the toilet? Just tell me and I will send someone to help you find it."
Mo Qiqi listened to what Jun Qianche said, but shook her head and murmured: "No one can help me, no one-"
"What do you want to do? Tell me? I will help you achieve it." Jun Qianche held her hand tightly and looked at her promise.
His words penetrated her heart word by word, making her dead heart feel a little warmer. When she looked at him, her empty eyes became a little brighter. Looking into his eyes, they were as deep as a deep pool that made people unable to see. In the end, it shone brightly and dazzlingly like obsidian, confusing people's hearts. She was unconsciously confused by him, looked into his eyes and murmured: "I want to go home, can you help me?"
Jun Qianche was shocked when he heard what she said: What did she mean when she said she wanted to go home? Did she want to tell him that she was tired of life in the palace and wanted to leave here, hoping that he would let her go
Jun Qianche said firmly in his heart: No, I can't let you go. You are my queen and my wife. I can never let you go back to the Zhenguo Palace.
So he chose to answer her with the most superficial meaning: "It turns out that the queen is homesick! If the queen wants to go back to the Zhenguo Palace, can I accompany the queen to stay for two days tomorrow?"
Mo Qiqi shook her head: "No, that's not what I meant. Your Majesty, when I said go home, I meant -"
"Queen!" Jun Qianche interrupted her. He was afraid that she would say she would leave the palace forever. He held her hand tightly and said, "I know that the queen is pregnant now. It is very hard and she likes to think wildly, but I Promise you, no matter when the time comes, I will protect you. No matter what happens, I will protect you and your children.
You are a pregnant woman now and will be a mother in a few months. You must take good care of your fetus and don’t think too much. If you are really homesick, can I send someone to bring your father and mother into the palace to see you? "Mo Qiqi, don't blame me for being selfish. You are my woman and I will never let you go.
Mo Qiqi gradually came out of her inner world and returned to reality. As she recalled Jun Qianche's words, her heart suddenly felt warm.
He is the king of a country, he is superior, many women want his favor and tenderness, but he ignores them, and he often contradicts him and angers him, but he never punishes himself, and even says this to himself If it's warm, I'm really touched. If I really can't wear it anymore, wouldn't it be a good idea to just stay with him? oops! What am I thinking! How can it be good? There are so many women around him, so I don't want to share him with so many women!
"Queen, what are you thinking about?" Jun Qianche saw her big black eyes rolling around and worried that she was thinking wildly, so he couldn't help interrupting her.
Mo Qiqi came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "I didn't think about anything."
Jun Qianche looked at her, his eyes full of distress and doting, and suddenly stretched out his long arms to take her into his arms.
Mo Qiqi was startled, and was about to reach out and push him away, but listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling his body temperature, it was so warm. His strong chest made her feel so safe. She stretched out her hand , suddenly stopped on his chest, reluctant to push him away.
In this other world, what she lacked most was warmth and security, but she suddenly found these in Jun Qianche. Although it felt strange, at this moment, she just wanted to follow her heart and didn't want to think so much anymore. . So she snuggled into his arms quietly, listening to his strong heartbeat, a trace of sweetness slowly rose from the bottom of her heart, and then she kept his waist, tears flowed down unsatisfactorily, she really wanted to Modern parents.
Jun Qianche felt the moisture on his chest. He lowered his head and raised her face. Looking at her crying face, his heart felt like being pricked by needles.
Jun Qianche spoke again: "Qiqi, if you are homesick, I will send someone to invite the Duke and his wife into the palace tomorrow."
Mo Qiqi shook her head: "No need, Your Majesty, I'm fine. Just like the Emperor said, I just had too many random thoughts during pregnancy, and I'm fine now."
"What is the queen thinking about?" Jun Qianche hugged her tightly and asked curiously.
Mo Qiqi quickly shook her head: "It's nothing! It's just some strange worries!"
"Then Queen, can you tell me where you got the injury on your head?" This was what he wanted to know most. Who dared to be so bold and dared to hurt the Queen? He simply didn't want to live anymore.
Mo Qiqi raised her little head, looked at him, and asked in a questioning tone: "Your Majesty, if I say that this injury was caused by myself and that I was possessed by evil spirits, will your Majesty believe it?"
Jun Qianche stared at her displeased, disbelief clearly written in his eyes.
Mo Qiqi knew Jun Qianche's temper. If you didn't give him an explanation for something he wanted to know, he would never give up. But she didn't know how to tell him the real reason of the matter, so she could only make it up for him. A story: "Your Majesty, I found a big mouse when I was in the toilet. I was scared and wanted to run out. Unexpectedly, my foot slipped and I rushed forward. Then I bumped into the washbasin and hit my forehead. It was broken. The knock was quite serious at that time. I almost fainted from the knock. I felt like stars were rising in my head and my vision was blurry. Fortunately, I had a strong willpower and worked hard to maintain my consciousness without fainting. After passing by, Banxiang came in and helped Chen Concubine out. Chen Concubine was frightened. She felt scared just thinking about it. That rat was really big and scary. And Chen Concubine’s kick helped her. Fortunately, she didn’t fall down. , I just hit my forehead, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, so I was so frightened afterwards that I didn’t come out, and was so scared that I was stunned. Fortunately, the emperor is here. Your Majesty, I am so scared." He hugged Jun Qianche, Acting coquettishly in his arms. Although she didn't know Jun Qianche very well, she also knew that he was always helpless when faced with her coquettishness. Although he sometimes disdained a woman's coquettishness, she still had to use it when necessary.
Although Jun Qianche didn't quite believe what she said, he really had no choice in the face of her coquettishness. Since she didn't want to say it, he didn't want to force her. Maybe the trust between them wasn't enough, and she didn't dare to tell her. Tell him your secret.
Jun Qianche gently patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, I will send someone to catch that big mouse and punish those palace servants who clean the toilets for letting a rat in the toilet and scaring them." Queen."
Mo Qiqi was startled and said with a silly smile: "Your Majesty, you are just a mouse, why bother to mobilize so many people! In fact, it is not easy for mice. They have to hide so pitifully in order to survive! And those palace people are also very pitiful. Every day Cleaning toilets is already very miserable, but the emperor wants to punish them, how can I bear it!"
"Since the queen is kind and unwilling to punish them, I will have the newly renovated toilets smashed down and replaced with the previous ones! Maybe the current toilets are too gorgeous and the mice also like them, so replace them with the old ones. If you look like this, the rats won't come again." Jun Qianche said warmly, but Mo Qiqi had already guessed the meaning of these words.
Mo Qiqi raised her little face to look at Jun Qianche and asked, "Your Majesty, are you blaming me for running to the toilet every day and focusing on the toilet?"
Jun Qianche smiled lightly and said: "I didn't expect the Queen to be quite self-aware. Queen, I haven't given you a title yet! Why don't I just give you the title of Toilet Queen!"
Mo Qiqi was about to jump after hearing this: "What? Toilet Queen, Your Majesty, how did you come up with this? Why didn't you call me the Shell Beetle Queen! Is Toilet Queen a title? If it is written down in the annals of history, wouldn't it mean that it will be infamy for thousands of years? , I don’t want this title, I don’t want this title, the emperor will bully me, wuwuwu—” Mo Qiqi left his arms and glared at him angrily.
Jun Qianche looked at her coldly, with a condescending and domineering air and said: "The queen also knows that this title is not pleasant! Seeing that the queen likes the toilet so much, I thought you would like this title! If you are the queen in the future, If you continue to study in the toilet every day, I will definitely tell the world and give you this title."
Mo Qiqi looked at him seriously and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never focus on the toilet again. The reason why I went to the toilet to study before was because I wanted to transform the toilet in the palace into a new one." It must be clean and hygienic, so that you will no longer smell the bad smell in the summer. Now that the toilet has become a look that I am satisfied with, why would I study it again!" I really don’t need to study the toilet anymore in the future. Because she had tried all the methods and could not find a way to go back through the toilet, it seemed that the way back was not in the toilet. Since it was not there, she had no interest in studying the toilet anymore.
"Is what the queen said true?" Jun Qianche looked at her dubiously. Although he didn't know why she liked to study toilets, he always felt that she was hiding something from him. She went to study toilets not simply hoping to Toilets become cleaner and hygienic.
"Of course it's true." Mo Qiqi looked back at him with sincere eyes.
Hearing what she said, Jun Qianche breathed a sigh of relief, took her hand and put it in his big palm, and said softly: "Qiqi, you are pregnant now. You should take good care of yourself and don't let yourself be too tired. , it’s too hard, I’ll be worried.”
Mo Qiqi lowered her head and promised: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will give birth to the child obediently."
"I'm more worried about your health. Pregnancy is very hard. I hope you can get more rest." Jun Qianche looked at her distressedly.
Mo Qiqi felt warm in her heart and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I understand."
"After a long day of hard work, you must be hungry! Ask the palace servants to bring the dinner in, and I will have dinner with you." Jun Qianche said considerately. I really want to spend more time with her.
Mo Qiqi suddenly raised her head to look at her, rolled her big black eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I don't want to eat the dishes cooked in the imperial kitchen tonight. I want to cook some side dishes myself, but don't you?" Can?"
"No." Jun Qianche refused simply.
"Why?" Mo Qiqi pouted in displeasure.
"Have you forgotten what I just said to you, Queen? You are pregnant, and I don't want you to have to work so hard. If you want to eat anything, ask someone to tell the imperial chef, and have them prepare it for you immediately. Why bother yourself? Do it yourself. There are knives, fire, and water in the kitchen, which is very dangerous." Jun Qianche's tone was very strong, and there was no room for maneuver.
Mo Qiqi pouted her lips in frustration and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, when I am in a bad mood, I want to cook a delicious meal myself, and then eat it happily, so that I can take care of everything. All the troubles and displeasures are put into the stomach, digested, and then everything will be fine. Even this bit of fun will be deprived by the emperor, because the emperor is so arbitrary."
"I am worried about your health. As my queen, if you have any troubles or dissatisfaction, you can tell me and I will help you solve your troubles and dissatisfaction. Why do you have to swallow these in your stomach? I The Queen does not need to suffer such grievances." Jun Qianche said displeasedly, as her husband, there is nothing she can't tell herself! As the king of a country, he can solve the world's problems, so can't her problem be solved
Mo Qiqi weakly shrugged her shoulders and said: "Your Majesty, some dissatisfaction and troubles come from the heart. They are inexplicable and cannot be solved by others. Pregnant people often have some inexplicable problems. I was upset and unhappy, so I wanted to solve it by my own means, but the emperor did not allow me to do this. I was so sad. This would only deepen my displeasure and troubles.
And the food you make yourself feels different from the food made by others. If you cook it yourself, you will have a sense of accomplishment and you will be very happy when you eat it. If someone else cooks it, no matter how good it tastes, you will still feel like you are eating it. It just fills your stomach and cannot comfort your soul. "Jun Qianche, I'm sorry! It's not that I don't tell you my troubles and dissatisfaction, but I don't know how to tell you, and I don't know if you can accept this fact. After all, this is a very bizarre thing. , if I had not experienced it myself, I would not believe it. And for you ancients with traditional thoughts and superstitions, this kind of thing is even more difficult to accept. In case you think I am lying to you, or If you think of me as a monster, I will die.
Seeing her persistence, Jun Qianche said calmly: "Do you have to go to the kitchen in person?"
Mo Qiqi nodded firmly: "Yeah! I really want to go to the kitchen in person."
"Okay, I'll go with you." This was Jun Qianche's only condition for compromise.
Mo Qiqi looked shocked: "What? The emperor wants to go with the concubine? Hehe, as the saying goes: a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and the emperor goes with the concubine, isn't it good! What if the Queen Mother finds out, who should say I don't You know the rules.”
"Don't worry, if the queen is to blame, I will say that I insisted on going and it has nothing to do with the queen. If the queen doesn't let me go, then the queen won't go either." Jun Qianche's tone was very strong.
Mo Qiqi pouted and said, "Okay then! Since the Emperor doesn't think the kitchen is boring, let's go."
So the emperor and empress went to the kitchen together again.
Mo Qiqi wanted to make her best mandarin fish, so she walked into the kitchen and walked towards the fish tank. There were several mandarin fish swimming happily in it. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and prepared to catch fish.
Seeing this, Jun Qianche nervously took her hand and asked, "Queen, what are you going to do?"
Mo Qiqi looked at Jun Qianche helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, I want to make steamed mandarin fish, so of course I need to catch a fish first!"
Jun Qianche said with a worried look on his face: "No, you are pregnant, how can you catch fish in the water tank yourself! What if you don't catch the fish and you fall into it yourself? It's too dangerous."
Mo Qiqi sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, you think I'm made of paper! I'm just catching a fish, how could I fall in it? Is the fish heavier than my concubine?"
"Okay, let's just make a fish! I'll help you do it, and you can direct it while I do it, okay?" Jun Qianche really didn't trust her. She was usually very carefree, and accidents always happened. He had heard about what happened in the Queen Mother's palace a few days ago, and almost destroyed the Queen Mother's palace. This time he came to such a dangerous kitchen, and he didn't know what accidents might happen! So for the sake of her safety, he decided to go into battle himself. Although he couldn't do it, she could dictate it and do it herself.
After hearing his words, Mo Qiqi was so surprised that her jaw dropped: "Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"
"Am I joking?" Jun Qianche looked at her seriously.
Mo Qiqi smiled: "Your Majesty, can you cook?"
Jun Qianche coughed lightly and said, "Although I don't know how to do it, I think it's not difficult. You dictate and I'll do the operation. We'll cooperate with each other. That's all."
Mo Qiqi nodded: "The emperor's method is indeed feasible, but I am worried that-"
"Okay, since it's feasible, let's implement it quickly! If we waste any more time, this dinner will become a midnight snack." Jun Qianche rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fish.
Mo Qiqi raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay! Since the emperor is so elegant, I must cooperate well. The emperor will catch a fish first."
Jun Qianche immediately reached down into the water tank and caught a fish.
Mo Qiqi immediately clapped in surprise: "Your Majesty, you are so amazing. You caught such a slippery fish in one go."
Jun Qianche said arrogantly: "It's just cooking! Why is it so difficult?"
Seeing his stinky fart, Mo Qiqi felt unbalanced and said, "Your Majesty, don't be too happy too early. Being able to catch fish has nothing to do with cooking." What's so proud about, other than catching fish? Fish! I don’t believe that you can do whatever you want. If that’s the case, then God must be too partial to him!
"What to do next?" Jun Qianche asked confidently.
Mo Qiqi pointed to the knife on the cutting board and said, "First kill the fish, scrape off the scales, then disembowel it and take out the internal organs."
Jun Qianche confidently took the knife on the cutting board and prepared to kill the fish.
But the fish became disobedient, as if it knew it was about to die, and began to struggle desperately.
Jun Qianche put the fish on the cutting board and prepared to kill it.
The fish suddenly jumped off the cutting board and fell to the ground.
Jun Qianche was unhappy and bent down to pick up the fish on the ground.
But as soon as he caught it, the fish slipped out of his palm again. Jun Qianche hurried to catch it, but he didn't see the spoon and shovel on the shelf next to him. As a result, the spoon and shovel fell to the ground with a loud noise. .
The fish jumped upright, ran away when it touched his palm, fell to the ground, and flopped on the ground.
Mo Qiqi smiled when she saw this.
Jun Qianche felt that he was losing face, so he grabbed the fish angrily, threw it on the cutting board, picked up the knife and prepared to chop the fish's neck.
When Mo Qiqi saw this, she immediately stopped her and said, "Your Majesty, don't chop it. I want to make a whole fish. You can't cut it in half."
"How can I kill him without cutting him in half?" Jun Qianche asked. He has been pampered since he was born, receiving the best education, enjoying the most exquisite clothing, food, housing and transportation, and being served by many people. He has never seen him kill fish for cooking, let alone kill fish, so he is asked to kill fish. Even though he knows martial arts, But I don’t know where to start when killing a fish.
Mo Qiqi sighed helplessly and said: "Forget it, Your Majesty, let me do it as my concubine!" After saying that, she walked to his side and prepared to take the knife in his hand.
But Jun Qianche raised the knife in his hand and said, "No, this knife is too dangerous. You can't touch it. You tell me how to kill, and I will do it."
Mo Qiqi smiled and shook her head: "Okay then! My concubine said. Your Majesty, first knock the fish out with the back of your knife. Knock here, but don't use too much force. Don't break the fish head." He pointed at the head of the fish. Location.
Jun Qianche suddenly realized: "So that's it." He quickly raised his hand and struck the fish on the head: "Bang, bang!" After two blows, the fish, which was struggling just now, immediately became honest.
Jun Qianche said proudly: "It's quite easy."
Mo Qiqi curled her lips and murmured: "I'm sorry to say, but I don't know who made Yu'er escape again and again just now."
Jun Qianche looked at her.
Mo Qiqi immediately shut up. Who made her husband the king of a country? The tiger's butt couldn't be touched. Even if he made a mistake and was embarrassed, he couldn't tell the truth, otherwise he would be the unlucky one, so she quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, you can remove the scales from the fish now."
Jun Qianche picked up the knife and prepared to scale the fish.
Mo Qiqi opened her mouth in shock and immediately stopped her: "Stop. Your Majesty, this is not how fish scales are removed."
Jun Qianche looked confused and said, "How did you get there?"
At this time, he no longer had the usual majesty and aloofness of an emperor, nor did he have the innate arrogance and domineering. He was like a child who didn't understand anything, curiously looking at the fish in his hand, not knowing How to start, it looks so cute.
Mo Qiqi was admiring him with some selflessness. She was glad that only she could see his cute appearance. Thinking about it, she felt so proud and satisfied.
Jun Qianche didn't hear her answer and couldn't help but look at her curiously. Seeing that she was in a daze, he frowned displeased and asked, "Mo Qiqi, what are you thinking about?"
"Uh! No, I didn't think about anything!" I won't let you know that I am admiring your cute appearance at the moment!
Jun Qianche didn't bother to argue with her. His eyes returned to the fish and asked, "How to remove the scales from this fish?"
Mo Qiqi proudly stretched out her hand to hold her bangs in front of her forehead and said: "Your Majesty, you are asking the right person when you ask me. I have a unique knack for removing fish scales." Hehe, in modern times it is very She likes to eat fish, so she searched online for a quick way to remove fish scales. She would use this method every time she cooked fish. She never expected that this time in this ancient time, in front of this stinky and arrogant emperor, she would be able to show off her hands. It’s so cool, hahaha—
Mo Qiqi walked to a bamboo basket, picked up a radish inside, looked at Jun Qianche and said with a proud smile: "We will use this radish to remove fish scales today."
Jun Qianche looked puzzled. He looked at the radish in her hand and then at the stunned fish. He said in disbelief: "Remove fish scales from radish, are you kidding me?"
Mo Qiqi wrinkled her nose arrogantly and said, "Huh! Then just open your eyes and watch. First, we cut out the head of the radish at an angle and cut it into an oblique shape." He took the radish in Jun Qianche's hand. He quickly cut the radish with his knife, and a large radish was cut into the shape Mo Qiqi wanted. Picking up the piece of radish and shaking it in front of Jun Qianche, he continued: "Then we use this cut radish head and slowly push it upward starting from the tail of the fish. It becomes the best tool for removing fish scales. Just like this, all the fish scales were scraped out easily, without any effort at all." He proudly raised his eyebrows at Jun Qianche, letting him see the fish scales he had scraped off.
Jun Qianche was surprised: "That's okay."
"Of course!" Mo Qiqi finally found a sense of accomplishment at this moment. I feel that since I came here, I have always been suppressed by him. In front of him, it seems that I can't do anything well. I feel that he is omnipotent and can do everything. Unexpectedly, when he gets to the kitchen, he becomes a person who doesn't understand anything. A young apprentice has become a teacher himself, hahaha, this feeling is so great.
"Let me give it a try." Jun Qianche's curiosity was aroused. He took the carrot head in Mo Qiqi's hand and began to imitate the actions she had just taken to remove the fish scales. The fish scales were removed really easily, and it was hard to hide. Excited, a smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing his smile, Mo Qiqi also smiled happily and commanded: "Your Majesty, this carrot head has no lethality. It's okay if you push it faster."
Jun Qianche nodded and sped up. Soon all the scales on the fish were removed. Looking at the fish on the cutting board, Jun Qianche suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
Jun Qianche asked: "What should you do next?"
Mo Qiqi said mischievously: "Take out the fish's internal organs! You can do it through the mouth, under the gills, or by slitting the fish's belly."
Jun Qianche looked at it carefully and saw that she was talking about the mouth and under the fish's gills. He felt that it was difficult to do it well, so he chose the last method and planned to cut open the fish's belly.
So Jun Qianche took the knife and was about to cut into the fish's belly, but when the knife in his hand just touched the fish's belly.
The fish suddenly fluttered and fell to the ground again.
Jun Qianche was stunned. He stared blankly at the fish that fell to the ground. He couldn't believe it and murmured: "Isn't it already knocked unconscious? And the fish scales have been removed, and it is still alive."
But Mo Qiqi was not surprised and said: "It's normal! Sometimes you cut its belly open and it can still move!"
Jun Qianche was simply unbelievable because he had never been in the kitchen, so he didn't understand this.
Seeing that he was at a loss, Mo Qiqi took the knife in his hand and said handsomely: "Okay, Your Majesty, I see that you are someone who has never been in the kitchen. It is really difficult for you to do such a thing. I'd rather be my concubine." Bar!"
Mo Qiqi picked up the fish on the ground, put it back on the cutting board, knocked it unconscious, and then began to process the fish's internal organs. Her movements were smooth and easy, as if this kind of thing couldn't be easier for her.
In the blink of an eye, she had finished cleaning the fish's internal organs, then scratched the fish twice, cleaned the fish, marinated it, and then put it on a plate to be steamed.
Jun Qianche stood aside, looking dumbfounded. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Queen, you are the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, how can you do this?" I just asked casually.
Mo Qiqi was shocked in her heart, how could she forget that she was now the pampered and pampered young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's palace, and now she was so high above the queen that she could do these things easily, which would definitely arouse his suspicion. I only blame myself for liking fish so much in modern times, so I cooked fish myself whenever I had time, and that's how I developed such a good skill.
My mind was working rapidly, thinking of how to answer him.
Jun Qianche's eyes were all on the fish, and he didn't notice the panic flashing in Mo Qiqi's eyes at this moment.
He quickly calmed down and said: "Because I used to be bored when I was at the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, I would secretly go to the kitchen to watch the chefs cooking. In fact, I was afraid that bad people would sneak into our Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. In our He often tampered with the food, so he would often hide in the dark and observe. Later, I thought the chefs were very handsome when they were killing fish, so I practiced secretly when no one was around, and learned this skill.
But I know that my parents don’t want me to cook, so I only dare to use this skill secretly. They don’t even know it. The emperor is in a good mood today! My concubine is great at cooking fish. "Quickly change the subject.
Jun Qianche raised his lips and smiled: "So that's it. In this way, this is a little secret of the queen."
Mo Qiqi nodded like a fool: "Yes, yes, I will tell the emperor this secret now. The emperor must keep it secret for me and not let my parents know, otherwise they will think that I have been wronged in the palace." , I didn’t have anything to eat, so I learned to cook by myself!”
Jun Qianche shook his head and smiled: "The Duke of Zhenguo will indeed think so. Queen, don't worry, I will help you keep this secret."
Mo Qiqi smiled happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Then let's make a fire and cook!"
When it came to making a fire, the two of them thought of the first time they cooked in the kitchen of Yujing Palace and made a fire. It was a nightmare!
Mo Qiqi was still frightened when she thought about it. In order to prevent such a good dish from being scrapped, she suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you find someone from the palace to come in and light a fire?"
But Jun Qianche immediately refused: "No, since the Queen and I are cooking here, no one else can come in." Only she can see the way he is busy in the kitchen, and no one else is allowed to see him, otherwise he is a The dignity and dignity of the king of the country are gone.
Mo Qiqi sighed helplessly, looked at the earth stove in front of her, and murmured: "What if it happens again like last time—"
Jun Qianche said disdainfully: "Hasn't the Queen heard that one learns from one's mistakes? The reason why you didn't do it well the first time is because you have no experience. But after you have experienced making a fire once, you will definitely be able to do it well the second time. The Queen is right I don’t have confidence?”
Mo Qiqi didn't dare to offend him, so she shook her head and said, "No, no, I am mainly afraid that the stove will not cooperate well, and I am also afraid that the fire will not be obedient."
But Jun Qianche said in an aired voice: "Queen, don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again. I will light a fire now." He walked to the stove, squatted down, and started to light a fire.
Mo Qiqi looked at Jun Qianche who was concentrating on lighting the fire, and a smile appeared on his lips. At this time, he was holding dry straw in one hand and a fire stick in the other, lighting the fire seriously. Suddenly I felt that this scene was so warm, just like an ordinary couple. The wife was cooking, the husband was helping to light the fire, and the couple were cooperating in cooking in a tacit understanding. I really liked this feeling.
Soon Jun Qianche raised the fire and it went smoothly.
Mo Qiqi clapped happily: "Your Majesty, you are so awesome. You made a fire for the second time and succeeded so quickly."
Jun Qianche raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "You only know now. Put the fish in the pot quickly!"
"Okay! Mo Qiqi walked to the stove and started cooking the first dish.
Next, stir-fry shredded potatoes, which she also likes to eat.
Seeing this, Jun Qianche said: "Queen, I will deal with this potato. You can just watch the fire. I put the wood and it won't go out."
Mo Qiqi looked at the round potato in her hand and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to get this potato? This is not easy to get."
Jun Qianche said arrogantly: "Is it more difficult to get than fish?"
Mo Qiqi nodded seriously and said, "You can say that."
Jun Qianche, however, said with determination and reluctance: "I don't believe it! Tell me what to do."
Mo Qiqi commanded: "Your Majesty, first peel off the potatoes, then wash them and cut them into shreds."
Jun Qianche followed the steps taught by Mo Qiqi.
After a long battle, I finally succeeded in removing the skins of two potatoes.
Mo Qiqi looked at the two potatoes gnawing like dogs, feeling funny and helpless at the same time. There was really nothing that could be done about this guy who refused to admit defeat.
After Jun Qianche washed the potatoes, he started to cut them on the cutting board.
Mo Qiqi quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, cutting potatoes is not easy, you must be careful."
Jun Qianche said disdainfully: "It's just a potato! What's the problem?"
Mo Qiqi wrinkled her nose: "Tch! Don't be happy too early."
Next, Jun Qianche started to strike.
Mo Qiqi looked at him intently from the side.
Jun Qianche held the potato with one hand and cut it with the other hand. When the knife went down, he thought he would successfully cut the potato. Who knew that the knife was not obedient at all on the round potato. The knife tilted and almost cut it. Jun Qianche's hand.
Mo Qiqi was too frightened to breathe.
Fortunately, Jun Qianche reacted quickly and dodged the deflected knife.
Mo Qiqi immediately stood up and rushed towards him: "Your Majesty, let me do the cutting! Your knife skills are really scary. If I hurt you, the Queen Mother will not let me go lightly."
But Jun Qianche said stubbornly: "It's just a potato. I don't believe that I can't subdue it." Jun Qianche said seriously not wanting to lose face in front of her.
Mo Qiqi said with a pleading look on her face: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. These things are not your responsibility, so no one will laugh at you if you don't do well. If you get hurt, you will be unlucky. My concubine, just for my own good, can you let me do the cutting? Your Majesty -" looked at him with big clear and bright eyes, begging him pitifully.
Seeing this, Jun Qianche's cold heart softened instantly, and he sighed helplessly: "Forget it, do it!"
Mo Qiqi smiled happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."
Mo Qiqi took the knife and started cutting the potatoes.
Just listen to the snapping sound, and in the blink of an eye, the two round potatoes turned into thin threads.
Jun Qianche was dumbfounded, picked up a shredded potato and said, "You have to cut it so finely!"
Mo Qiqi nodded: "Of course! The potato shreds must be very thin to be delicious!"
Jun Qianche was very glad that he had let go just now. If he had let him cut it, it would have been difficult to cut it into pieces, let alone cut into such thin strands.
"I didn't expect the Queen to be so powerful." Jun Qianche said sincerely in admiration.
Mo Qiqi smiled happily, but said humbly: "I have only this ability, how can I compare with the wise and powerful emperor! Hehe -"
Jun Qianche walked to the stove with some shame and lit the fire obediently.
Mo Qiqi raised her eyebrows proudly, finally feeling a sense of superiority in front of him. This feeling was great.
With the tacit cooperation of the couple, the four side dishes were successfully brought to the table. Two meat and two vegetables. Although simple, they were full of warmth and warmth.
The aroma of the food fills your nostrils, making people unable to help but pick up their chopsticks and want to eat in large chunks.
Jun Qianche looked at the dishes they made together, and suddenly understood why she had to cook it herself. The food made by others felt different from the food she personally participated in. The food she made by herself , I feel a sense of accomplishment just looking at it, and I feel even more satisfied when I eat it.
Mo Qiqi looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, please try our cooking."
Jun Qianche couldn't wait and immediately picked up his chopsticks to taste the first dish, fish.
After putting it in his mouth, he nodded immediately: "The meat is fresh and tender, fragrant and refreshing, very delicious."
Hearing his praise, Mo Qiqi felt infinite satisfaction and sweetness in her heart: "If the emperor likes to eat, just eat more."
"Queen, you should eat more, don't you like fish? Come, eat this piece." Jun Qianche personally helped Mo Qiqi pick up a piece of the best fish.
Mo Qiqi looked at the fish in the bowl, and the sweetness in her heart flowed like a river.
The two of them sat together and tasted the delicious food leisurely. They both liked this feeling.
As an emperor, Jun Qianche never dared to long for warmth and sweetness, because he kept telling himself in his heart that as an emperor, he had to be a loner, without feelings or love, so that he could be undistracted and not be worried about. But after meeting her, his thoughts slowly changed, and he suddenly discovered that there was actually someone he loved by his side, accompanying her, looking at her, and even just eating with her. I feel very warm and satisfied. There was a voice in his heart telling him that as long as she was willing, he would be willing to have dinner with her every day, love her, pamper her, and be infatuated with her all his life. Although he had put down his imperial airs, he was still embarrassed to say these sweet words. The machismo in him restricted what he wanted to express in his heart.
And since Mo Qiqi came here, although she met Jun Yuehen's friend, the loneliness and loneliness in her heart have never dissipated. Here, she has no sense of security, no support, no warmth, and she feels like a dandelion The same, wandering everywhere, unable to find a place to stay, without a sense of belonging, but at this moment, this feeling suddenly disappeared.
Looking at him in front of him, the once aloof, cold and serious emperor had put away all the coldness and domineeringness in his body. At this moment, he was just like an ordinary husband, having dinner with his wife and helping himself. My wife was picking up vegetables and saying gentle words, feeling so happy and warm.
Although I have repeatedly told myself that I cannot fall in love with Jun Qianche, because the emperor's love is short-lived and he will not only love one woman forever. There are too many women around him, so don't expect his love or his favor, but this For a moment, she didn't want to suppress the feeling in her heart. She wanted to indulge herself just once, just once, and quietly enjoy the sweet world of two people with him tonight, even though all this should not belong to her.
After dinner, the two of them walked to the steps in the courtyard and sat down side by side. They looked up at the stars and found that the stars were so beautiful tonight. Why hadn't they realized that the night sky was so beautiful before
Jun Qianche glanced at her who was staring at the night sky beside him, slowly stretched out his long arms, gently hugged her shoulders, and hugged her into his arms.
Mo Qiqi did not refuse his approach and gently snuggled into his arms. After reading, remember: it will be easier to read next time, or.
