Ye Jun didn't have breakfast, so he prepared some more.
There was a tray of steamed dumplings with mushrooms and shrimps, a tray of longan buns, as well as vegetarian spring rolls, egg custard, and sesame cakes, and the staple food was lily and lotus seed porridge.
Apparently, she still underestimated the appetite of a 20-year-old young man. Also, because the food in the palace was cooked in small and exquisite ways, she had to serve another tray of steamed dumplings to fill the dragon's stomach.
But he ate a little too much this time, and Ning Chen felt a little embarrassed holding the digestive tea.
"It's rare that there's no sun today. Your Majesty, would you like to accompany me for a walk? I heard there's a koi pond next to the Zhaixing Pavilion. I want to feed the fish."
Ye Jun is very well-behaved.
She also heard from Lu Yan that the two tanks of koi in the Zhaixing Pavilion were caught from the pond.
"Then go ahead." Ning Chen pretended to be understanding.
The two of them got up and went out.
It’s not far, it only takes a stick of incense to get there.
This place should be designed for nobles to play. The lake is not big, with a nine-curve flat bridge across it and a pavilion in the middle.
Naturally, there are the most fish in the center of the lake, so the servants came to make arrangements early in the morning.
The pavilion was laid out with mats, refreshments were laid out, and small bowls of fish food were placed on the table.
"The fish here are more lively. The tank in my yard is too small and the fish are suffocating. I'll ask someone to release those into the lake later."
Ye Jun was eating and chatting at the same time.
"It's just a small matter, just ask the servants to do it." Ning Chen stood beside him, silently admiring the little concubine's hands.
After watching for a while, he grabbed a handful and sprinkled it down.
"Oh, I'm so envious of these fish. The emperor feeds them himself!" Ye Jun suddenly became mischievous.
Ning Chen paused, not knowing what to say. Could it be that I also fed you myself
Although he is the one who provides this woman with food, clothing and other necessities, it is really... strange to say this.
So he changed the subject, "You're hungry right after breakfast? I don't think you can eat."
As he spoke, his eyes moved to the woman's waist, which was slender and delicate like a willow tree.
Ye Jun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your Majesty is so boring. Is it possible that I can't eat more?"
After saying this, he turned around and went to the other side to feed the fish, turning his back to the emperor without any scruples.
The servants all took a deep breath, lowered their heads and dared not speak, for fear that Ye Wanrong's bold and disrespectful behavior would implicate them.
Ning Chen just found it funny, and suddenly had a bad idea. He walked over, grabbed the slender waist from behind, and spoke in the tone of a playboy.
"Why are you angry, my dear?"
Ye Jun never expected that this blockhead would come to his senses so quickly, and his body stiffened.
But after all, she is a thousand-year-old vixen, how could she be taken down by a fool
She turned around and hooked her arms around Ning Chen's neck, her eyes full of coquettishness, and her body softened and fell down.
Although he knew she would not fall, Ning Chen's pupils shrank rapidly and he subconsciously tightened his hands around her.
At this moment, the two of them were pressed tightly together.
On the painted bridge over the green lake, the handsome young emperor embraced the beautiful concubine with a slightly nervous look in his eyes, just like a couple of gods who walked out of a painting.
The two looked at each other, Ye Jun curled her lips and smiled, playful and cunning. Ning Chen reacted and immediately let go, then began to blush.
Her face turned red from the tips of her ears all the way to the base of her neck, and she quickly turned her head away.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "I have never seen you so unruly!"
"Didn't the Emperor tease me first?" Ye Jun blinked.
She turned around and went to the pavilion to pour a cup of tea. "I was wrong. Your Majesty drank this cup of tea, so please don't blame me."
At this moment, Ning Chen felt that her mouth really was on her body and she was so good at talking.
But he drank the tea anyway.
The two of them sat in the pavilion and chatted. Not long after, Huiyue came over and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Ye Jun's eyes turned a little colder.
"What's wrong?" Ning Chen frowned.
"What else can I do? Someone is trying to snatch the emperor from me!" snorted the little bamboo spirit.
Ning Chen felt a little funny and looked up at Yuan Jiu.
The latter understood, "Your Majesty, I see that it is Yi Wanrong who is here."
Now I understand.
Ning Chen naturally had no interest in Wu. She acted like a lady from a wealthy family, but she was not as interesting as the person in front of him. Now he found it more and more interesting to be with Ye.
Just looking at Ye Jun like a puppy guarding its food, he suddenly wanted to see how powerful she was, so he waved to Yuan Jiu to call people over.
Yi Wanrong was naturally happy, as she had come here to steal the deal.
Before, Ye Shi was not favored, but she dared to snatch it from Lady Li. Now she is favored by the emperor, how could she be defeated
She still holds a grudge against me for what happened last time!
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Yi Wanrong walked closer, first paid her respects to the emperor, and then exchanged greetings with Ye Yun.
Before she could speak, Ye Jun said directly, "The scenery here is really beautiful. Yi Wanrong lives so far away and she came all the way here. Look at the sweat on her head. I'm afraid she has been walking for two incense sticks, right?"
Yi Wanrong was not panicked, she just smiled and said, "I was just strolling around, I didn't expect to meet you, don't be angry, sister, I mean no harm."
This made it seem that Ye Jun was judging others by his own standards.
But, this person is such a mean person, you can't tolerate it and you just step on others. We are all Wanrong, who is afraid of who
"I'm not angry at all. I just feel sorry for you because you're tired. Sister Yi, please sit down. I won't be polite. I'm afraid that you still took what Empress Xiuyi said this morning to heart. Otherwise, why would you come out to hang out and relax for so long in such a hot day?"
As Ye Jun spoke, he sat down on the left side of Ning Chen and instructed the maid to add more tea.
This made Mrs. Wu feel embarrassed and angry.
The seat of honor in Nanqi State is on the left. Ye had no title but sat on the left, so she could only sit on the right, which made her look inferior to others.
She glanced at the emperor and saw that Ning Chen was just drinking tea, so she didn't dare to say anything and had to sit down holding her breath.
"Sister Ye is joking. Empress Xiuyi's words are just a warning. I just listened to them. Why would I feel uncomfortable?"
"Really? Then Sister Yi must find a royal physician to see her when she returns!" Ye Jun suddenly became serious and said solemnly.
Yi Wanrong's face turned bad, and her tone was also a little angry, "Ye Wanrong is cursing me for no reason? Even if you are dissatisfied, you shouldn't say that!"
Ye Jun hurriedly shook his head.
"Look, you misunderstood. This morning in Wutong Palace, I saw that Sister's face was red and blue when she was talking to Empress Xiuyi. Sister, you can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor!"
"I… "
Before Yi Wanrong could say anything, Ning Chen couldn't help laughing first. However, he couldn't laugh out loud, so he felt uncomfortable holding it in and quickly took a sip of tea.
"Alright, alright. Since Yi Wanrong is feeling unwell, go back and rest quickly. It won't be good if you get too tired."
"Your Majesty, I am not sick!" Yi Wanrong was a little anxious.
Ning Chen nodded seriously, "I know, you must be tired these days, I'll come to see you another day."
Once these words were spoken, it was like an order to leave. Even if Wu was unwilling, she had to swallow her anger and leave.
As soon as she left, she heard Ye Jun burst into laughter.
