Chapter 1089 It's delicious, don't bake it next time.
In the end, Liang Chongyue still got to taste the plum blossom fish, although he didn't find the plum blossom flavor particularly strong.
It was even a little bitter.
But looking at Xiang Zheng's expectant eyes and her hands, blackened from grilling fish for him...
Liang Chongyue, against his conscience, praised it:
"It's delicious. Don't bake it next time. Let's cancel this event in the plum garden. I don't want others to have the same treatment as me."
"Really? Your Majesty?"
Liang Chongyue nodded helplessly, but fortunately, she often did things against her conscience throughout her life.
They can lie without even blinking.
"Then Your Majesty, please eat more. From today onwards, the activity of fishing for and eating mullet is exclusively for Your Majesty. No one else is allowed to participate. No one can do it."
Liang Chongyue silently turned her face away, refusing to look at Xiang Zheng's excited expression.
She really brought this on herself.
"It's not that bad. If Minglang and the other children come, it would be nice for them to try it out."
"If I like something, it's hard for children not to like it too."
She couldn't bear to suffer alone, so Liang Chongyue forced Xiang Zheng to share the grilled fish with her.
Liang Chongyue ate bitter food, but Xiang Zheng enjoyed it very much.
Liang Chongyue sometimes wondered if Xiang Zheng had some kind of problem with her sense of taste.
"How does this fish taste to you?"
Xiang Zheng told the truth.
"It smells quite nice, but it's not very salty. Next time, bring more seasonings from the restaurant, and it should taste even better."
Liang Chongyue was speechless again; Xiang Zheng's sense of taste did indeed have some problems.
Liang Chongyue firmly believed this.
"Promise me that you will invite the children to come before they set off. I would like you to personally grill two fish for them."
"Minglang's return date is uncertain; we don't know when she'll be back. After eating the fish you grilled, she'll definitely miss you."
Xiang Zheng ate the fish she had grilled herself, avoiding the parts that had been charred.
She wasn't stupid; His Majesty didn't really like the fish she grilled.
She saw it.
But she really thought it tasted pretty good.
Just avoid eating the parts that are charred.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I promise you, I will definitely do it."
Before Minglang set off, Liang Chongyue wanted to give her an unforgettable day.
Just imagining how Minglang would react when he ate this fish, Liang Chongyue couldn't help but smile.
He Xiangzheng lay in the small house in the plum garden, and with each breath, the tip of her nose was filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms.
Liang Chongyue had to admit that, apart from having somewhat unique tastes, Xiang Zheng knew how to enjoy herself in every other way.
This place is truly beautiful. I wish I could stay here until the plum blossoms fade after winter sets in.
It's going to be a great winter.
"It's getting late, Sheng'er and Yu'er should be back by now."
Looking at the darkening sky outside, Liang Chongyue nudged Xiang Zheng, who was lying next to her.
Xiang Zheng then turned her head to look.
It is indeed getting late.
"Then Your Majesty, let's go back."
Xiang Zheng has asked everything she wanted to know today.
He also heard His Majesty's support for him.
There couldn't be better than this.
Liang Chongyue stepped out of the small house; the wind outside had picked up considerably.
A mere gust of wind can set a tree full of petals ablaze.
Plum blossoms flitted freely around Liang Chongyue and Xiang Zheng.
Some even hid inside Liang Chongyue's cloak.
"Have you ever brought Sheng'er to such a beautiful place before?"
When Xiang Zheng talks about her daughter, her eyes and brows are filled with a proud smile.
"Of course she's been here. She loves it here, and she also loves my grilled fish. It's just as good as His Majesty's taste."
Liang Chongyue could not judge this point.
The ingredients in the standard are more complex than those in the fish that Xiang Zheng grills.
It's best if she doesn't express her opinion.
"Bring the child to the palace tomorrow, and I will take you to my private treasury to choose a New Year's gift."
Liang Chongyue still remembers this incident, while Xiang Zheng herself has almost forgotten about it.
If I didn't know His Majesty wasn't the type to joke around so easily.
If it were anyone else, Xiang Zheng would have thought the other person was joking.
“Alright, if Your Majesty the Empress Dowager returns to the palace tonight, I would like to have lunch at Cining Palace tomorrow.”
Liang Chongyue sometimes felt that Xiang Zheng's background was quite complex.
Just like now, she knows that the food in her mother's palace is delicious, and she has her own standards for what is considered good.
Yet he still loved his charred grilled fish to bits.
Liang Chongyue only ate two bites; the rest was all eaten by Xiang Zheng.
Indeed, people with good appetites are born optimists.
"That's fine. I imagine the Empress Dowager would be happy if you brought the child with you."
As Xiang Zheng and His Majesty strolled through the sea of flowers, she added:
"Yu'er, that's enough. Don't make Her Majesty's head ache from crying."
Thinking about her son, who was naturally at odds with the puppy, Xiang Zheng's head started to ache.
She gave birth to a daughter who combined all the best qualities of herself and Chai Shuo.
Unexpectedly, her son inherited most of the shortcomings of both her and Chai Shuo.
Indeed, no one can have a smooth life all the time, and she understood this better than anyone.
Fortunately, she has enough assets to last until Yu'er grows up.
If all methods have been exhausted and nothing works, she will give up.
As long as they don't get addicted to eating, drinking, gambling, and prostitution, feel free to take the children.
She can't possibly follow her child around and worry about them her whole life.
Liang Chongyue wanted to laugh whenever he thought of Xiang Yu. The system stood in front of him, and Xiang Yu started crying without any warning.
He just blurted it out.
"The child is adorable; the Empress will not mind."
Xiang Zheng thought about it and decided against it.
She couldn't possibly ask His Majesty to lock up the puppy and keep it away from Yu'er.
That puppy came to Your Majesty's side when Your Majesty was a child.
He spent more time with His Majesty than Minglang did.
To put it bluntly, Xiang Zheng sometimes felt that His Majesty was raising the puppy like a child.
They're all children, and children often bump into each other when they meet, so she couldn't really interfere.
It would be better to just let it go. Xiang Yu started crying, and since Chai Shuo wasn't there, she really didn't want to comfort her.
"Let's see tomorrow then. Yu'er loves to sleep in."
Xiang Zheng laughed it off and moved on from the matter.
After the two boarded the carriage, Liang Chongyue leaned against the inner wall for a short rest.
Xiang Zheng looked at His Majesty as he rested, and noticed the faint frown lines between his brows.
Your Majesty has worked too hard for the Great Xia over the years.
It was clearly agreed that after His Majesty ascended the throne, she would stay by his side and be his right-hand woman.
Now everything is different from what it used to be.
Xiang Zheng looked at His Majesty, feeling extremely guilty.
She failed to do what she was supposed to do, but His Majesty understood the difficulties she had faced.
They didn't take the matter to heart.
Even though His Majesty was busy with state affairs later on, she was too embarrassed to keep coming to the palace to disturb him, and they could only see each other once in a while.
His Majesty has never distanced himself from her.
"His Majesty......"
"Don't make a sound. If you don't sleep, I want to sleep a little longer."
