Of course it was to serve him for meals.
Was it possible that he would also let her eat with him?
She couldn’t help laughing in her heart. Also, she didn’t know if she was laughing at herself or why she was laughing. She stretched out her hand to take the box and put the meals on the small table within the carriage to prepare.
When the preparations were completed, she presented the bowl and chopsticks.
“Your Highness, you may eat.”
“……”
Zhu Feng looked at the single pair of tableware, then glanced at the appearance of Nan Yan bowing to offer him this bowl and chapsticks. He couldn’t help but silently curse in his mind that the head chef in the imperial kitchen couldn’t do things right. But how would the imperial chef know that there was one more person on his imperial carriage. Thus,only his own meal would be prepared.
He said coldly, “Eat!”
Nan Yan was stupefied, looking up at him.
Zhu Feng said, “You taste first!”
“……”
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, only dimly understanding.
This is to let her – try for poison?
After all, this was outside the palace. Many things were not as convenient as inside the palace and there was no absolute safety.
Moreover, since leaving the capital border, their actions should not draw too much attention, clearly meaning to “travel in disguise”.
This kind of situation, it was in fear of someone with bad thoughts.
She was silent, slowly moved to the small table, and began to eat what things.
It tasted really good.
In particular, there were several pickled and cool dishes, which were probably specially prepared by the imperial chef for the Emperor, to stimulate the appet.i.te and relieve the summer heat. Poor Nan Yan was rumbling with an empty stomach. After eating the appetizing food, her stomach was even hungrier. While eating, her stomach, at the same time, grumbled.
She wished she could dig a hole in the carriage and let herself fall in.
She looked back secretly. Fortunately, Zhu Feng was sitting on the other side of the carriage with his eyes closed and pulling a long face, as if he hadn’t heard.
She took a little of every dishes and tasted it.
Nan Yan turned around and said softly, “Your Highness, this servant has tried everything.”
Zhu Feng did not even lift his eyelids. Then, he said “Taste it again.”
“……”
Nan Yan was surprised and looked at him, was he afraid that she hadn’t tasted it carefully enough?
Let it be, these dishes were so delicious that even if they were poisonous, it was worthy of her life.
Therefore, she lifted the chopsticks again and ate everything in each dish.
Although she did not eat much, however, there were many dishes sent by the chef. She took a bite of everything and soon, she was full.
She turned her head again and presented the bowl and chopsticks to Zhu Feng: “Your Majesty, this servant has tasted it again.”
Zhu Feng just opened his eyes and did not look at her. He only stretched out his hand and took the chopsticks. Then, he looked at the dishes on the small table. There wasn’t much left. To be honest, some of them were leftovers.
However, he didn’t dislike it, let alone his food and clothing have been very simple since he became the emperor. Long before when he was Prince Yan, he often lived in the barracks and had insufficient food.
As a result, he ate up two or three mouthfuls of Nan Yan’s leftovers.
At this time, the attendants tidied up things.
Nan Yan put the empty dishes back into the food box and handed them to the attendant outside. Zhu Feng leaned against the side of the carriage and suddenly said, “There are too few dishes. Send more next time.”
Hearing this, the attendants all got a frightened.
Didn’t this mean they had let the Emperor be hungry?
However, looking at the redness at the tip of Nan Yan’s ears, he seemed to understand something again and quickly replied, “Yes!”
While Nan Yan lifted the curtain to pick up things and looked out, she saw the carriage behind the golden carriage. Someone heard the noise and lifted the curtains to look here. It was none other than Jian Ruocheng, who had been inside the imperiage carriage before.
He saw Nan Yan at a glance.
Those gentle and bright eyes glimmered slightly.
