"New Year!"
Li Chen raised his wine glass and grinned at the beautiful woman opposite him.
The person opposite him was not Su Jinpa or Zhao Rui, but... Zhao Qinglan.
When he saw Li Chen appearing in front of him again, Zhao Qinglan's expression was quite wonderful.
"You...shouldn't you be in the East Palace now?" Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but ask.
"I'll have the New Year's Eve dinner with you first, otherwise it would be pitiful for you to be alone and deserted." Li Chen took a sip of wine, picked up a chopstick and put the dish into his mouth, and chewed it.
"I've long been used to it."
Zhao Qinglan's tone was calm, without the slightest hint of self-pity, but instead conveyed a sense of coolness that only I can feel good about.
"You are only in your twenties, and you won't turn thirty until next year. You look like an old woman who has seen through the world of mortals." Li Chen said.
These words stung a hornet's nest.
Zhao Qinglan's phoenix eyes were full of evil, and she said angrily: "Who do you think is the old woman!"
"This is the right thing to do now."
Li Chen chuckled and said: "There is more smoke and fire in the world, and there is less sadness and loneliness. Don't be sad about spring and autumn. I always feel how sad my life is and how miserable I am. It's completely
I was so full that I had nothing to do. I went out and saw how many people had to run around day and night just to have a full meal, and endured the unhappiness of their stomachs and kowtowed to others."
Zhao Qinglan was a little unhappy after hearing this, but she couldn't say the rebuttal when it came to her lips. She lowered her head and silently picked up the chopsticks.
Between the two of them, there were only six dishes.
And there are four vegetarian dishes, one meat dish and one soup.
As for the meat dish, it was added after Li Chen arrived.
This kind of food is definitely enough for Li Chen to eat on weekdays, but today he was a little unhappy.
"Come here." Li Chen put down his chopsticks and shouted.
Immediately, a palace maid came in and knelt in front of Li Chen.
"Queen, do you usually eat these things?"
Li Chen said calmly: "Now that my mother is weak, it is time to take supplements. How do you take care of my mother!?"
The palace maid was frightened. Now Li Chen's status and power in the palace were completely the same as that of the emperor, except that he was not wearing a dragon robe.
The palace maid turned pale and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, please forgive me, slave. I will go and change now..."
"I blame her for what she did. These are my favorite dishes on weekdays. Today I specifically ordered no extra preparations. If you want to eat well, go back to the East Palace to eat." Zhao Qinglan frowned and stopped.
"Whatever you like!"
Li Chen lectured with a straight face: "From today on, your diet must be specially prepared, nutritionally balanced, and mainly tonic. Even if you don't like it, you must eat it, otherwise how will your body recover?"
After speaking, Li Chen turned to the palace maid and ordered: "From now on, the Queen's diet must be approved by the Taiyuan Hospital. She does not need to use extravagant, exquisite and expensive dishes, but it must be nutritionally balanced. Do you understand?"
The palace maid hurriedly said: "I know this."
After waving his hand for the palace maid to leave, Li Chen looked at Zhao Qinglan and said nothing.
Zhao Qinglan also looked at him, using silence to show his dissatisfaction with Li Chen's interference in his diet.
The silence lasted for a while, and then Li Chen stood up.
Zhao Qinglan lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Are you going back to the East Palace?"
Li Chen didn't answer, but he didn't leave. Instead, he walked to Zhao Qinglan's side.
Zhao Qinglan gripped the chopsticks tightly, her body tense.
He wants to belittle himself again?
Zhao Qinglan just felt cold and sad in her heart.
