Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 199 Card Fight

Zhao Mingyuan had revealed to Xiao Wan in advance that he was about to leave and might go to the battlefield. Xiao Wan was extremely reluctant to let him go, but she could not stop Zhao Mingyuan. Her beloved wanted to achieve great things, and she should be proud of him.

Therefore, before leaving, Xiao Wan took great pains to prepare various delicious foods, and asked Zhao Mingyuan to take various supplies. She prepared crispy pork, boiled fish, pickled fish, pancakes and other delicacies in different ways, which made Zhao Mingyuan's face look rounder.

Fu has been staying with the imperial concubine all this time. Seeing how attentive Xiao Wan is to her son, she feels only relief and happiness. Although the imperial concubine has also eaten a lot during this period, seeing how attentive Xiao Wan is to Zhao Mingyuan and how smart and beautiful she is, she can't help but secretly feel sorry for her son for missing out on such a good girl.

Unfortunately, human feelings cannot be forced, just like her and the emperor.

Because of Xiao Wan, the daily meals of Emperor Mingde and Concubine Zhao were not delicacies from land and sea, but they were also exquisite and delicious. Concubine Zhao fell in love with crispy pork and potato chips, which were paired with fried chicken and a sip of Xiao Wan's homemade red wine. It was simply too delicious.

Emperor Mingde liked to eat dishes with strong flavors. In the past, the imperial kitchen prepared mostly light dishes for the emperor's health. Emperor Mingde paid attention to health preservation and was used to it. Until he picked up a boiled fish with chopsticks and was sweating from the spiciness, Li Quanfu was so scared that he wanted to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Mingde stopped him, glared at him, and continued eating, leaving Li Quanfu stunned.

Zhao Xian had already returned to the capital to preside over state affairs and to meet the second prince, so he had no chance to see Emperor Mingde eating heartily.

From then on, Emperor Mingde and the Imperial Concubine started ordering food. Xiao Wan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, as she had actually become a cook. However, the two most noble people in the world were living in her house, so what else could she do? If she didn't behave well, her parents would glare at her.

Because Xiao Wan was about to part with Zhao Mingyuan, and for Zhao Mingyuan's health, she added extra spiritual spring water to the food she served to him, which made Bai Tuantuan laugh at her.

Xiao Wan didn't care. She knew that Bai Tuantuan was bored because he couldn't go out to play because of the emperor's arrival. She promised to take it with her every time she went out after the emperor and the imperial concubine left. Only then did Bai Tuantuan nodded proudly.

Zhao Mingyuan ate the food Xiao Wan prepared for him. Xiao Wan asked him to finish it all and added some tonics to it. Zhao Mingyuan had a vague guess in his mind that it might be the same water Xiao Wan gave him to drink last time in the mountains.

Zhao Mingyuan never asked Xiao Wan about her secret, and he was afraid that if she told it herself, it would be disadvantageous to her if others knew about it, so he never mentioned it.

This time, Wan'er must have taken it out because she was going to the expedition, and she was willing to expose herself. Zhao Mingyuan didn't know what it was. He was waiting for the day when Xiao Wan was willing to tell him. Even if she didn't say it, Zhao Mingyuan was willing to believe Xiao Wan unconditionally.

Sure enough, after eating the meal, Zhao Mingyuan's spirits were getting better and better. Fu even joked, "I think Wan'er's food has magical powers. Not only have you gained weight these past few days, but you've also become more energetic."

Zhao Mingyuan smiled shyly, and then, in order to make his mother feel more favorable towards Wan'er, he said, "Mother, Wan'er specially added some supplements to my food. After eating it, I really feel much better, and some of my hidden injuries have also healed."

Fu had just said it casually, but she didn't expect it to be like this. She felt much softer in her heart and was more grateful to Xiao Wan.

My son has fought many battles before, and he must have many hidden injuries on his body. These cannot be cured for the time being. I didn’t expect Xiao Wan’s supplements to be so effective.

Tian Shouzhong and Zhang Liang vaguely knew the identity of Mr. Yuan and were extremely excited. They cooperated with the emperor's secret guards and attendant guards to do security work. Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Tian were also reminded of this, so they acted extra carefully.

Emperor Mingde and the concubines were having a great time, especially Concubine Zhao, who became addicted to the game of poker. Sometimes she even forgot to eat because of playing cards.

This is the poker made by Xiao Wan. In ancient times, there were very few things for women to do for entertainment. Xiao Wan saw that Liu and Fu were talking with Concubine Zhao until their mouths were dry, so she thought of this little modern entertainment.

Originally it was just to kill time, but unexpectedly Liu and Fu also became addicted. The only difference was that Xiao Wan changed the name of Dou Dizhu to "Dupai". Funny sounds like "three to one" and "I can't afford it" could be heard from their room from time to time, which made Xiao Wan often think that she was still in the prosperous world of modern times.

Although Emperor Mingde was in the countryside, his life was not so easy. After all, although he had suspended court, important government affairs and memorials from the court were still transmitted here urgently from eight hundred miles away.

While reviewing memorials, Emperor Mingde listened to Concubine Zhao's rare cheerful laughter and felt very relieved. As long as Concubine Zhao could relax and be happy, he himself was working hard and enjoying it.

I just don’t know how the second brother is doing with his investigation. It would be nice if he could just finish it so I could have a rest.

Before receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Mingyuan went out early and came back late to investigate the private casting of weapons with Li Mingyue. Xiao Wan made some snacks and desserts for Zhao Mingyuan to take to eat with Li Mingyue, and also added spiritual spring water to them.

When Li Mingyue ate the dried pork, her body was filled with strength and a familiar feeling, as if she had experienced this feeling somewhere before.

He was stunned for a long time before he vaguely remembered that Xiao Wan saved him when he was being chased in the mountains. He was unconscious at the time and seemed to have been fed water mouth to mouth. He felt better after drinking it.

That figure and movement remained in Li Mingyue's mind, lingering, as if stuck.

Could it be that he was really fed by someone's mouth, and was that person Xiao Wan?

Li Mingyue's face flushed red, and the joy in her heart seemed to explode. It turned out that he had fallen in love with Xiao Wan a long time ago. Li Mingyue was stunned, not knowing whether to be happy or cry.

Zhao Mingyuan was confused and looked at his brother in a daze and pushed him. Li Mingyue came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Mingyuan's worried eyes, and his mind immediately returned to normal.

No, I can't think about it anymore. Wan'er and my brother have already fallen in love with each other, and I have also secretly arranged a marriage. If I continue thinking like this, I will be unfair to my brother.

Li Mingyue shook her head, suppressed the thoughts in her mind, and continued to talk to Zhao Mingyuan with a smile. She did feel regretful in her heart, but some things were more important than regret.

While Mingyuan and Wan'er don't know, I have to give up this idea as soon as possible. I hope that I can use my abilities to protect Wan'er and Mingyuan in the future.
