Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

She first poured herself a small bowl of lychee, grape and jasmine tea, ate the lychee flesh in the bowl, and with a satisfied smile on her face, she immediately praised: "Your Majesty, these lychees have just been delivered to the palace, they are fresh, paired with grapes and jasmine, and chilled in the well, it is so refreshing. In this hot summer, it is the best time to drink some after you have dealt with a pile of anxious memorials."

"But Your Majesty surely doesn't like this refreshing, sweet and sour summer delicacy." Shen Yanyan said, blinking her eyes at Xiao Jingzhan.

Xiao Jingzhan already wanted to eat it, and now that she mentioned it, he wanted to eat it even more. He had tasted the food she cooked before, and each one was very novel and delicious.

"Give me some," Xiao Jingzhan said, looking at the remaining empty bowl.

"Okay." Shen Yanyan diligently served him fruit tea.

After Xiao Jingzhan tasted it, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and it was obvious that his taste buds were captured by the delicious food. Shen Yanyan looked very satisfied. Just eat it. Haha.

"Your Majesty, these dishes are all different delicacies. Please try the rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice, the watermelon and taro dumplings, the melon dumplings, and the peach and yogurt dumpling jelly." Shen Yanyan introduced them to him one by one.

Shen Yanyan watched Xiao Jingzhan eat everything he had, and was very pleased with the satisfied expression on his face.

He was also eating some sweet soup, but the portion was quite large and he couldn't finish it all by himself. On a hot summer day, you should eat something cool and delicious.

Seeing that he had almost finished eating, Shen Yanyan looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, how is it? It tastes good. If you want to eat it, I will make it for you every day in the future."

Xiao Jingzhan enjoyed the meal very much. Her cooking skills were really good. The wine she brewed and the food she cooked were exactly what he liked. He couldn't help but like it. Hearing her say that she would cook for him every day, he said, "Is it okay? Will it be hard?"

The smile on Shen Yanyan's face paused, and she instantly became angry and said in a sarcastic tone: "Is it okay? Of course not. Not only will you not be able to eat the food, but your Majesty will also not be able to drink wine in the future. Oh, especially your favorite pear blossom wine."

"You actually took advantage of me last night when I was drunk, and you still want to eat delicious food every day, impossible. Xiao Jingzhan, you are a despicable villain, you took advantage of others, you said you would not force me, oh, that's great. Turn around and drink a little wine and you forget what you said."

"Look, my neck, my..." Shen Yanyan pulled open her clothes and pointed at her neck, and paused as she was about to continue. Her chattering mouth stopped for a few seconds, and her face turned red.

Then he said:

"I can't even go out to see people. Do you know how thick my makeup is? You don't know, hum!" Shen Yanyan said angrily, holding her hands and turning her head away, not wanting to even look at him. Despicable villain.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at her as she kept talking, saying disrespectful things, but he didn't get angry. He looked at her lovingly.

Seeing her pause, her face turned a little red, and she instantly recalled some scenes from last night and felt a little hot.

"You probably forgot that you were drunk and it was you who took the initiative." Xiao Jingzhan said gently, with a hint of grievance in his tone.

"How is that possible? I took the initiative. You're not a male model in that KTV bar. Do I have to take the initiative and spend money to find you?" Shen Yanyan was really angry. This villain was now pushing the blame onto her.

Xiao Jingzhan's eyes condensed. Hearing this, she seemed to have done this before. Although he didn't know what KTV, bars, and male models were, it must be related to men. Has she done this to other men? When Xiao Jingzhan thought of this, his face darkened instantly.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shen Yanyan turned to look at him and saw that his face was still very dark. I want to ask, he is still angry, what is he angry about, he is the one who did something wrong.

"You are still angry, but I should be angry. Brother, can I ask you a question?" Shen Yanyan rolled her eyes, speechless.

"Have you ever gotten drunk in front of another man?" Xiao Jingzhan asked nonsensically.

What the hell is going on here?

"First of all, I've only been drunk twice in my life, once in the Lakeside Courtyard, and once last night. I can't drink that badly, okay? Besides, what do you mean I've been drunk in front of other men? Does this have anything to do with what I'm asking you this time?"

Shen Yanyan looked at him with a question mark on her face.

When Xiao Jingzhan heard that she had never been drunk in front of others, his expression instantly eased a lot. That meant that he was the only one who had seen her like that. The anger in his heart also dissipated.

"It was really you who took the initiative. Last night you said you wanted to pay me and you said something I couldn't understand. Then you said you wanted more money so that I could touch my abdominal muscles. Shen Yanyan, you're really good at turning the tables. It was clearly you who took the initiative, and now you blame me." Xiao Jingzhan listed her crimes one by one.

Shen Yanyan was stunned. She now believed it. She could really do things like touching the abdominal muscles. And she said something strange. What did she say? About modern times? Shen Yanyan's face turned pale.

"I said something," Shen Yanyan looked at him with a pale face and a frightened tone.

Scared? Why would she feel scared? Xiao Jingzhan's eyes darkened. She seemed to have a secret that he didn't know.

"That is to say, you want to spend money to click me, and you keep calling yourself sister, that's all." Xiao Jingzhan looked at her slowly recovering complexion, his eyes becoming even darker.

Shen Yanyan let out a breath, and her expression became much calmer.

"Forget it, I was the one who took the initiative. Why didn't you push me away? How could you do such a dirty thing to me?" Shen Yanyan spoke in a low voice, mainly because she lacked confidence.

"You didn't do anything else to me last night, did you?" Shen Yanyan glared at him again.

"Hmph, you think too much. If I did anything to you, you wouldn't even be able to get out of bed today." Xiao Jingzhan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at her saying obscene words in the most calm tone.

Shen Yanyan's face turned red. Everyone can talk nonsense.

"Oh, really? I thought your Majesty was not capable of that. There are so many beautiful women in the harem, but your Majesty didn't touch any of them. This is not something that ordinary people can do." Shen Yanyan said stubbornly while looking at Xiao Jingzhan. Fortunately, he didn't do anything else, which scared her to death.

"Shen Yanyan, don't challenge my patience. If you don't believe me, I don't mind demonstrating it to you." Xiao Jingzhan's face was a little dark. If it weren't for respecting her wishes, he would keep her in bed every day.

He doesn't touch other women because he is emotionally clean and doesn't want to have a relationship with someone he doesn't like. Even if he is the emperor, he will feel disgusted if he touches someone he doesn't like.

But if the target is her, he can accept it and will be very satisfied.

Shen Yanyan wisely shut up. Usually when he said "I", he was a little angry. Considering his behavior last night, if she really angered him, she would be the one who would suffer, so she should shut up when it's time to do so.

"OK, I'll shut up." Shen Yanyan made a zipper-like gesture on her mouth, indicating that she should shut up.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at her strange movements, behaviors and words. Sometimes he really wanted to know what kind of place the Divine Doctor Valley was that raised her so strangely. She couldn't understand what she said, and what she did was different from ordinary women. Who would drink all day and flirt with people when she was drunk? And what was the matter with her habit of touching people's abdominal muscles?

If Shen Yanyan could hear Xiao Jingzhan's inner monologue, she would say that I am not one of you feudal ancient people. If the conditions and environment did not allow it, I could find myself a handsome boy, a cute one, a domineering one, a little wolf dog, tut tut tut. She dared not think about how great it would be to have money to change a man every day!

There was a lot of smoke inside the hall, and even more so outside.

Eunuch Li looked at the young eunuch kneeling beside him, his eyes cold and his aura terrifying.

"You dare to stop Concubine Yan? Our family has been too indulgent to you, allowing you to be so bold. The Concubine is of noble status, how can a eunuch like you and me stop you? You are really ignorant. You have worked in the Imperial Study for a few days and you don't even know who you are." Eunuch Li said in a cold tone.

"Drag him away and deal with him according to palace rules." Eunuch Li glanced coldly at the man kneeling on the ground and gave the order softly.

The two eunuchs at the side hurried forward, covered Eunuch Lu's mouth and dragged him away.

Normally, Eunuch Lu relied on his position as a servant in front of the emperor to act arrogantly, and often made things difficult for the palace servants who were just serving him. Today, seeing him in big trouble, everyone was happy to see it happen.

"Listen to me, don't let this happen again. Remember your identities. Look at what happened to him today. Also, when Concubine Yan comes, report directly to His Majesty. Don't stop her." Eunuch Li ordered in a deep voice. He disturbed His Majesty today and stopped her. He will apologize for it later.

Everyone outside the palace was secretly shocked. It seemed that His Majesty doted on Concubine Yan. Many concubines had come to the imperial study in the past, but they were all sent away by His Majesty. Today, not only did Eunuch Li personally apologize to Concubine Yan, but even Eunuch Lu was sentenced to death for merely stopping Concubine Yan. It seemed that they had to serve Concubine Yan well in the future.

"Okay, everyone go away and do what you should do." Li Defu waved his hand and dismissed everyone.

Inside the hall, Shen Yanyan looked at the empty bowls and plates on the table. Thinking that there was no one else in the hall, she wanted to pick them up. But as soon as her hands touched the bowls and plates, Xiao Jingzhan pulled her hand and walked out.

"You don't have to do these. The palace maids will come to clean up." Xiao Jingzhan held her hand. Her soft little hands were white and tender. He was reluctant to let her do these.

"Okay, where are we going?" Shen Yanyan watched him holding her hand and walking out of the hall. She didn't think it was a big deal, it was just something that happened conveniently.

"Yangxin Palace, let's have dinner there today. I'll ask Li Defu to prepare more of your favorite dishes." Xiao Jingzhan said gently.

"Okay," Shen Yanyan said happily. The food cooked by his chef was much better than that of other chefs in the imperial kitchen. She originally wanted to eat for free, and now that he took the initiative to ask for it, of course she would not refuse.

Outside the door, everyone saw His Majesty coming out and quickly knelt down to salute.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at Li Defu beside him and said, "Let's go back to the Yangxin Palace. Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare it again." After that, he took Shen Yanyan's hand and left.

All the palace servants were surprised to see His Majesty holding the hand of Concubine Yan. Some of them who had served in the imperial kitchen for a long time were even more shocked, because no empress had had this honor in the past, not even the imperial concubine.

Li Defu quickly ordered someone to go to the imperial kitchen to serve new meals. When the queen arrived, all the meals in the Yangxin Palace were replaced with the ones the queen liked. His Majesty was really nice to the queen.
