"The emperor has arrived!"
When Zhao Zheng arrived at Earth Tranquility Palace, Xiao Yuzhen, who had received the news in advance, was already there to welcome him.
"ChenQie welcomes the Emperor."
"Get up, Yu Zhen. There's no need to be so polite when you see me in the future.”
"That won't do!" Xiao Yuzhen shook her head and said firmly,"I know that the Emperor dotes on me. Courtesy cannot be abandoned. There are many people in the harem. If everyone follows suit, where will the Emperor's dignity be?"”
Zhao Zheng smiled helplessly and changed the topic.""Yuzhen, have you eaten dinner?"
"Not yet!"
"Knowing that the Emperor is coming today, ChenQie has already ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare."”
"Alright, then Yuzhen, drink two cups with zhen.”
"ChenQie obeys."
Soon
, the delicacies of the imperial kitchen were placed on the table.
It wasn't very sumptuous, just six dishes, one soup, and some snacks.
Every dish was Zhao Zheng's favorite. Obviously, Xiao Yuzhen had been paying attention to what Zhao Zheng liked to eat and had secretly memorized it.
Zhao Zheng smiled and waited for Xiao Yuzhen to pour him a glass of wine. He picked up his glass and said,"Come, Yuzhen, drink a cup with me.”
"ChenQie salutes the emperor."
The husband and wife clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Yuzhen rarely drank alcohol. After downing a glass of white wine, her pretty face quickly blushed, making her look beautiful and charming.
However, Zhao Zheng did not notice this.
At this moment, Zhao Zheng was holding a wine glass in a daze.
The wine he drank just now did not look clear enough. The alcohol content was very low, and it even had a slight sourness.
Zhao Zheng, who had studied chemistry before, knew that this was a problem with the brewing process.
Zhao Zheng couldn't help but think of the high-alcohol white spirits from the Earth. Compared to those real white spirits, the wine on the table was at most rice brew.
It seemed that most of the wine in the future was distilled wine, and the purification process was not complicated, nor did it require any cutting-edge equipment. It could be produced at this moment.
He should be able to make a fortune by bringing white wine to this world!
Zhao Zheng was so desperate for money that he could even think of ways to earn money just by having a meal.
Seeing Zhao Zheng in a daze, Xiao Yuzhen couldn't help but ask,""Emperor, what's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"
"Oh! No!"
Zhao Zheng finally came back to his senses.”
"It is ChenQie's duty to serve the emperor.”
Just as the couple was eating, a kitten suddenly barged in and crawled under the table.
"Meow! "Meow!" The
kitten was obviously attracted by the fish fragrance on the table. It kept rubbing against Zhao Zheng's calf and meowed, wanting to eat.
"Where did this kitten come from?" Zhao Zheng was stunned.”
"Your Majesty," Xiao Yuzhen hurriedly said,"this is a wild cat that I adopted this afternoon. It disturbed Your Majesty. I am guilty…"
As she spoke, Xiao Yuzhen was about to kneel.
The reason she was so nervous was naturally because of the previous fatuous ruler. He liked large and ferocious animals like tigers and leopards and had no interest in kittens and puppies…
Zhao Zheng quickly supported Xiao Yuzhen and said with a smile,"Yuzhen, don't worry. Zhen actually likes kittens.”
As he spoke, Zhao Zheng picked up a piece of fish and placed it on the plate before placing it on the ground.
When the kitten saw the fish, it was so hungry that it immediately pounced on it. It bit the fish and even made a sound to protect its food.
When Zhao Zheng heard this voice, he frowned slightly.
Before he transmigrated, although Zhao Zheng had never owned a cat, some of his classmates opened a pet shop. Under the influence of his classmates, Zhao Zheng had some understanding of pets such as cats and dogs.
Pets that ate and protected their food like this had a certain degree of ferocity and needed to be raised carefully.
This was because such a pet might bite its owner if it was not careful.
Zhao Zheng had wanted to ask the Empress to give up on this kitten, but seeing the Empress's doting eyes, he knew that the Empress liked this kitten very much. Thinking of the Empress's cat being killed by someone in the past, coupled with the desolation of the harem, and that he could not often accompany the Empress, Zhao Zheng could not say any heartless words.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Zheng could only change the topic to persuasion."Yuzhen, it's a good thing to raise a cat to make you happy, but you have to be careful to prevent the kitten from hurting its owner. In the future, try not to hug the kitten when it's hungry!”
"ChenQie remembers the emperor's words and will definitely pay attention to safety.”
Xiao Yuzhen wasn't a person who didn't know any better. Naturally, she wouldn't allow a cat to disturb the Emperor's mood.
"Chun Lan!"
A palace maid outside heard the sound and quickly walked in.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Your Majesty…"
Chun Lan was the palace maid who had "discovered" the little wild cat in the afternoon.
Xiao Yuzhen saw that Chunlan was quite caring, so she let Chunlan be in charge of feeding the kittens.
"Chunlan
, Goldie (the kitten's name) has come in. It's probably hungry and attracted by the smell of fish here. Bring Goldie to the imperial kitchen and find some fish for it." Xiao Yuzhen said.”
Xiao Yuzhen didn't realize that something was wrong.
"This servant will obey."
Chun Lan got up from the ground and walked towards the kitten.
As he walked, he called out,""Goldie, come here…"
Everything looked normal.
However, Zhao Zheng realized that something was wrong.
Zhao Zheng was now an expert with twenty years of cultivation. His eyesight was not very good, but at least he could see that something was obviously wrong.
The palace maid lowered her head and bent over to approach the kitten.
For ordinary people, walking like this would inevitably cause them to lose their balance.
However, the palace maid in front of him grabbed the ground tightly with every step she took, as if she was rooted to the ground.
This was the performance of an expert or a person who had specially trained in the lower part of martial arts.
In addition, this palace maid had her left hand hooked in her bosom as she walked. She only used her right hand to attract the kitten.
Shouldn't a normal person use both hands together to make a hugging gesture?
These two points made Zhao Zheng uncomfortable.
To be cautious, Zhao Zheng immediately activated the Emperor's Eye.
[Target Loyalty: -33%]
This palace maid's loyalty to the Emperor was actually negative!
What did this mean?
It meant that she hated the Emperor!
Zhao Zheng's alarm bells immediately went off and he wanted to call Feng Zhong in.
At this moment.
A sudden change occurred!
After the palace maid walked to the side of the kitten, she didn't hug it. Instead, she took a big step forward and rushed towards Zhao Zheng.
A sharp dagger popped out of her left sleeve and stabbed straight into Zhao Zheng's heart.
"Foolish ruler, hand over your life!"
After
a while, the two of them looked at each other.
