This way, it couldn't be considered as a mistake. The Hong was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stop one person, so she made the other two female servant follow a different path, just in case.

After Liu Ruyan finished giving orders, she went to find Lian Chengming to talk. After all, she was the emperor.

”I wonder what caused Your Majesty to be held up in his steps today, and he actually came over here at this time. This chenqie thought that the Emperor had some important matters to take care of today, so she didn't come! ”

Liu Ruyan was unable to find any more topics to talk about.

”What, is beloved consort treating us as if we haven't seen each other in a long time?” It was rare for Lian Chengming to not be serious.

Liu Ruyan's face had already turned red from his teasing. This topic was not suitable for him to answer at all.

If that was the case, then Liu Ruyan herself would be extremely embarrassed.

If she were to say that it wasn't the case, wouldn't she be asking for trouble if this unpredictable fellow were to change his mind?

Just as Liu Ruyan was feeling embarrassed, Jane and the Hong brought the female servant back from the kitchen.

When they finished setting up the dinner, Liu Ruyan immediately invited Lian Chengming over for a meal to ease the awkwardness of the situation.

The Royal Kitchen had been paying particular attention to the food within these two days, as if it was responding to every request given. As long as Liu Ruyan wanted to eat something, that dish would definitely appear on her table that day.

”The dishes today are pretty good. Your majesty, please let chenqie prepare the dishes for you!”

Liu Ruyan suddenly remembered that when he was eating, Lian Chengming never let her pick his dishes.

It was only today when she had free time that she remembered that there was indeed a rule in the palace that the emperor should be treated as a priority when dining with the emperor, and that the imperial concubines should wait on him.

”No need, sit down and eat together!” Lian Chengming obviously liked the way the two ate.

”All of you can leave now. If you need anything, I will naturally summon you.”

Lian Chengming always especially liked being with Liu Ruyan alone. Even though it was just a simple dinner, he still felt that it was exceptionally easy to have two people together.

Liu Ruyan was really hungry now, as she looked at the table full of delicacies, her hands unconsciously moved faster.

”beloved consort, eat slower, no one is going to steal it for you.”

Lian Chengming jumped up in shock. Could it be that the people in the palace had treated her badly and made her look like a reincarnated hungry ghost?

Lian Chengming poured her a cup of tea, worrying that she would choke on himself.

However, when he saw that she didn't hold back in front of him, he felt that she was a bit cuter and a lot more lively.

”Your consort has lost her composure. Your majesty, please forgive me.”

Liu Ruyan was embarrassed, it was disgraceful, it was disgraceful.

”No problem.” Lian Chengming passed over the teacup for her to take a breather.

”Chenqie thanks Your Majesty.”

Lian Chengming saw that there was indeed a high grade Red Carp Soup on the table, and he scooped up a small cup and placed it in front of Liu Ruyan.

Seeing the bowl of soup, Liu Ruyan suddenly remembered what Jane had said when she first came in.

Jane said, ”When this servant went to Royal Kitchen today, I did not ask for this carp soup, but the chef insisted that this servant bring it back. He even said that this thing was the most nourishing for the Consort Fangyi. They also specially brewed this cup of soup to nourish Consort Fangyi according to the emperor's instructions. ”

Liu Ruyan had heard of the effects of the red carp before, now that she saw this cup of soup, she felt an inexplicable blush.

”Thank you, your majesty.” But he had to thank the saint for his kindness with a smile.

”beloved consort doesn't need to be so courteous. If you truly want to thank us, then I should pay more attention and fix my body …”

Lian Chengming's words seemed to have some sort of hidden meaning, at least, Liu Ruyan was able to hear some other meaning.

Liu Ruyan's entire body suddenly turned red.

She had a feeling that Lian Chengming had just taken liberties with her.
