“Husband, can we start eating now?” Lan Ling’er asked softly, noticing the ministers hesitating to touch their chopsticks.
“Mm!” Dong Fang Che picked up the chopsticks, served some dishes into her bowl, and said: “Eat quickly; this is the surprise I prepared for you!”
Lan Ling’er was stunned by the plate of flowers. She leaned close to his ear and whispered: “Husband, is this dish cooked wrong? Please have the maids take it away! How embarrassing!”
“My lady, this is the surprise I prepared for you! Wasn’t it because of these flowers that you were captured by bandits last time? I’ve sent people to remove all the flowers in the forest, and today I boiled a big pot of flower vegetable soup to avenge you. Your husband loves you so much!” Dong Fang Che secretly kissed her in front of everyone, admiring her fragrance and pure face.
“Husband, stop it! I know you love me, but the flower vegetable soup doesn’t taste good! Can’t we skip it?” she exclaimed, suddenly being kissed again, her face blushing.
“Okay! But aren’t these flower vegetable soups a waste?”
Father Emperor said every dish and soup is the blood and sweat of the common people. “Does my lady want her husband to become a criminal?” he asked, his gaze somewhat strange, but he laughed softly and pulled her back into his arms.
“I know the ministers will definitely finish it! Husband, let’s go to the Hongyan Pavilion! Xi’er mentioned that Yan’er has made several new dishes. We can go taste them!” She tried to push away Dong Fang Che, but he held her tightly, unable to move. She hurried to leave to avoid being seen in an intimate pose.
“Okay!” Dong Fang Che stood up, still holding Lan Ling’er, and turned to leave.
The ministers quickly spat out the flower vegetable soup, hurriedly rinsing their mouths, wondering if it was fit for human consumption.
“Oh, by the way!” Dong Fang Che suddenly turned back. The ministers quickly picked up their chopsticks, pretending to savor the food. “Be sure to finish the flower vegetable soup. I’ve given it a nice name – ‘Snow Spirit’. Don’t say I didn’t treat you well!” With that, he vanished.
All the ministers collapsed!
