Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 828 Dinner with the Emperor

The moment I walked out of the hall, from the corner of my eye, I saw the emperor looking up at me. He first looked at my face for a moment, then slowly moved his eyes down to the chest I was stroking, his brows were raised high, as if he had thought of something.I subconsciously glanced back, just as I met the thoughtful gaze of the emperor, my eyelids twitched, and I quickened my steps a few steps before escaping from the terrifying sight.

God, in the end it's my guilty conscience, I always feel that the emperor's black eyes are unfathomable, as if they can penetrate people's minds.When I came to the kitchen, the two head chefs were very busy, and they had already made several dishes and placed them next to them.

I called Xiaoqing and asked her to bring the dishes to the dining room, and I also helped carry a dish to the dining room for decoration.The large mahogany table was set aside, supplemented by a tablecloth, and a layer of cushions was added to the emperor's seat.I used all the etiquette for entertaining state guests I learned from books, and took a few vases with flowers in the backyard and placed them in the center of the dining table and around the dining room.It was already dark, in order to increase the light, a few more candles were lit in the room to brighten the room.

While I was busy making preparations, I suddenly heard the emperor's satisfied voice saying: "The layout is not bad, it is very romantic." Turning around, the emperor and Ting Lu were standing at the door and looking around, I rushed forward, "The emperor , dinner is ready."

The emperor nodded, stepped in and took the seat prepared for him.Because I was nervous, I didn't have any appetite for this meal, but I ate without raising my head when I saw the emperor. I tasted every dish, and he didn't say a word, and I didn't know if he was satisfied.I looked at Ting Lu worriedly.The two chefs waiting next to them also waited anxiously, for fear that any dish would not suit the taste.

"Mulan, why don't you eat?" The emperor asked me, looking up at me.I hurriedly made some side dishes and put them on my plate, and laughed with me: "Yes, Mulan doesn't have a good appetite."

The emperor raised his brows lightly, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Is it because I was too scared to eat it?"

"That's not true. Mulan's appetite has always been small, and she will be full after eating a little."

The emperor turned his head to look around, and praised: "Mulan is very good at living, I can see it as soon as I enter the courtyard, you are a good housekeeper. The small dining room is so elegantly arranged!"

Ting Lu laughed and said, "Mulan likes to tinker with small decorations when she has nothing to do, like the flowers in a vase that are changed every few days, so they are fresh every day." The emperor noticed that the plum blossoms placed everywhere were indeed simple and elegant. Elegant.

He nodded frequently, "That's right, putting some flowers in the room in winter does look lively and interesting, the only thing lacking in the palace is this kind of vitality."
