I don’t know why, but this time, Gong Huiyu did not refuse.
She completely ignored Wan Jiaojiao's wary and dissatisfied gaze. After sitting down opposite Li Chen, she looked at the three light dishes and one soup on the table with some surprise.
A dish of hibiscus tofu, a dish of cucumber braised with lotus seeds, a dish of steamed lion's head with rice flour, plus a bowl of eight-treasure clear soup, this is the lunch for the majestic prince of the Qin Empire.
Although these dishes look exquisite and delicious, compared to Li Chen's status, they look very shabby.
"The food doesn't need to be extravagant, it just needs to be delicious enough to satisfy you."
Li Chen took the rice that Wan Jiaojiao had served, picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites, and said to Gong Huiyu: "Let's eat some together. If you are not used to it, just tell me later and I will ask the kitchen to follow your instructions."
Make a few dishes based on your taste.”
Gong Huiyu hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and took off the veil.
After all, no matter how high her martial arts skills are and how cold her temperament is, she cannot put food into her mouth through the veil.
Gong Huiyu's beauty appeared in front of Li Chen again.
Not to mention Li Chen, even Wan Jiaojiao, who was also a woman, felt a little ashamed when she saw Gong Huiyu's appearance. She felt that the woman in front of her was simply too beautiful to be in the world.
But then, she spat in her heart.
Vixen! She’s so good-looking, you can tell at a glance that she’s here to seduce my prince!
After picking up a lotus seed and putting it into his mouth, Gong Huiyu suddenly asked Li Chen: "Is it like this today or every day?"
"You want to ask if I am putting on a show for you?" Li Chen asked with a smile.
Gong Huiyu said calmly: "Am I being sentimental?"
"No."
Li Chen asked Wan Jiaojiao to serve him soup, and took the filled soup bowl. Li Chen didn't drink it himself, but brought it to Gong Huiyu. This action immediately made Wan Jiaojiao's pouted mouth fit for a soy sauce pot.
"The kind words and words at this moment are deliberate for you to get used to it as soon as possible since you are new here, but everything else you see today is my normal daily life."
Gong Huiyu saw Li Chen's bold eating style and couldn't help but ask: "I heard that you dignitaries don't have to use chopsticks to eat. If you look at any dish, the maid next to you will bring it to you."
"Yes, there are such rules in the palace."
Li Chen said while picking up the rice: "But it depends on people. I don't like that kind of service. In other words, don't I have any hands or feet? It's like having an itchy nose. After all, it feels better to be poked with my own fingers. Others'
Will it feel good if you force your fingers in?"
These words almost broke Gong Huiyu's heart, which had never seen any ripples in the past twenty years.
Who would have thought that the dignified Prince of the East Palace Supervisor could actually say such vulgar but irrefutable words?
After Li Chen finished speaking, a voice came from outside.
"My lord, Hu Pi, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
The current Minister of Civil Affairs, Hu Pi, can be regarded as a veteran of the Zhenglong and Daxing dynasties. He is over seventy years old and can be regarded as highly virtuous and respected.
Although his ability is mediocre, he is very good at riding a wall. He never leaves the house or takes a step forward and never participates in political struggles.
It is precisely for this reason that in the fierce competition between the Eastern Palace and the cabinet, the extremely critical position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was compromised by the two parties and fell to Hu Pi, who did not belong to either party but had a transcendent status.
