Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

Chapter 537 The spring night is short and the day is rising

An idea flashed through his mind, but he didn't think much about it. He saw Xia Baozheng sleeping messily on the other side, and he came over, leaned over and kissed her.

Then he reluctantly got up and went to court.

The spring night is short and the day is high, and since then the king will not go to court early.

He kind of understood what it was like.

The beloved woman is lying on his couch. If possible, who wouldn't want to spend the spring night in the warmth of the hibiscus tent.

After putting on his clothes and walking out, he glared at Eunuch Jixiang resentfully.

This guy is the one who urges him to go to court every day...

Eunuch Jixiang: "..."

He knew that as long as Empress Xia stayed in Longquan Palace, the emperor would not want to go to court.

The emperor is full of blood, and it is normal and understandable to be greedy.

Eunuch Jixiang had a aunty smile on his face, but he did not condone it. He called to the attendants and escorted the emperor to the Golden Palace.

Xia Baozheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the people leaving.

Fortunately, the emperor's appearance at court was not delayed.

Turned over and went back to sleep.

When she woke up, the Queen Mother's ceremonial guard had already gone to Shangjiang Palace, taking away all the concubines, leaving the entire harem empty.

Concubine Shu had been waiting at Jinxiu Pavilion for a long time. When she saw Xia Baozheng coming back, she said loudly: "The Queen Mother is not here, we can do whatever we want. I'll ask the kitchen for some deer legs later, how about we have a barbecue?"

Concubine De rolled her eyes at her and said angrily: "Can't you think of anything else besides eating?"

Concubine Shu glared at her and said, "What's wrong with pretending to eat? Food is the most important thing for the people!"

Concubine De was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Xia Baozheng smiled and said: "Barbecue is not enough, I want to eat hot pot."

Concubine Shu immediately beamed: "Sister Xia still understands me, I also want to eat hot pot!"

The two hit it off immediately and immediately ordered the maids to get busy.

After a while, red hot pot pots and barbecue racks were already set up in the courtyard of Jinxiu Pavilion. Various side dishes were also neatly placed on two large tables.

Concubine Shu turned into a little cook, rolled up her sleeves, and shouted that she wanted to grill the lamb chops herself.

Xia Baozheng ate hot pot hotly.

Put the duck intestines, tofu, and duck blood in the pot and roll it for a few times. It will be delicious and spicy when you pick it up, and it will be very exciting to eat.

Liu Jieyu came after smelling the fragrance.

When I saw there was hot pot to eat, I didn’t read the script and immediately joined the shabu-shabu operation.

Liang Fei walked here out of boredom and saw the fireworks in the yard, so she also walked in and wanted to eat the pot.

But she was too weak to eat these strong flavors, so Fengxian brought a bowl of water, scooped it up from the pot and soaked it in the water before giving it to her mother-in-law.

Xia Baozheng smiled and said, "Why don't you give me a clear soup pot for my sister?"

Liang Fei waved her hand: "No, what does the clear soup pot smell like? After soaking it in this way, although it is a bit bland, at least you can still smell some spiciness."

He is also a model of being both good at cooking and loving food.

Concubine Xian was busy managing the harem, so she did not follow the Queen Mother to Shangjiang Palace. When she heard that Jinxiu Pavilion was eating pot, she quickly threw away her abacus and hurried over.

Before I even came in, I smelled the hot spicy pot. My mouth was filled with saliva and my stomach was rumbling with hunger.

He stepped in with one foot and said with a pretty face: "You don't even call me here to eat spicy hotpot. Do you girls still care about me?"

Concubine Xian is a serious lover of spicy food.

People in the palace eat stew every day. She maintains her identity and seldom turns on the small stove. She is really greedy at this moment.

Xia Baozheng smiled and said, "This platter of mutton hasn't been touched yet. It's all left to sister. Sister, sit down quickly."

"Sister Xia is still kind-hearted and understanding."

Concubine Xian praised, immediately picked up the chopsticks, and started eating anxiously but gracefully.

It was so spicy that the wind whistled in one hand, and the chopsticks in the other hand kept shaking.

Anyway, the emperor is not here, so there is no need to pay attention to appearance.

Just as this thought flashed across my mind, a familiar calm voice sounded from Dou Tou: "You all seem to have enjoyed your meal very much."
