Chapter 182: Autumn Radishes Are Better Than Ginseng

It was almost dusk when we left Liangyi Zhai.

Su Nuan did not go home directly, but went to a pharmacy.

Of course she didn't buy any contraceptive pills, she bought some moisturizing herbs.

The purpose of going to the pharmacy is to show it to others.

She was not afraid that Ying Shu would come to check what medicine she bought. Even if he knew that she only bought spices, it would not matter. She wanted to make a gesture as if she was already wavering.

It didn't matter whether someone was really following her or not.

However, out of her sight, the person who was monitoring her actually told the owner behind the scenes that she had entered the pharmacy.

The man was not as cautious as Su Nuan thought, and did not go into the pharmacy to verify what she bought.

That night, Ying Shu came to see Xun Zheng.

"I have done what you asked me to do. She went to the pharmacy and will not let Dong Jingshu give birth to the prince's child. Are you satisfied now?"

"Okay, as long as she can do it, I promise not to touch her."

Xun Zheng smiled and continued, "Don't blame me for being cruel. I did this for you. You are the only one left in the Xun family. Even if Yun Ting overturns the case for the Xun family, the Xun family has no power or influence. Even if the Xun family is rebuilt, how can you support it alone?

But it would be different if my child could become the eldest grandson of the emperor. I could use him to become the empress, and you would be the emperor's uncle. Even if you have no achievements, no one would dare to bully the Xun family. "

"Whether you are doing this for yourself or for the Xun family, you know it clearly in your heart."

"Ying Shu, how can you talk to your sister like that? All these years, everything I have done was to redress my father's injustice and overturn the case for the Xun family. Don't you know best what I have lost for this?"

"Okay, I don't want to talk about this anymore. Let's talk about what to do now. The prince has been confined to his house for a month, and Cheng Ji's case will be put on hold for a month. Is there any way to get the emperor to lift the confinement?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll find a way."

"You still want to ask him for help? When Daddy was framed, he couldn't even stand up and say a word for Daddy. Why do you think he will really help now?"

Xun Zheng said coldly: "It's just that each of us takes what we need."

Ying Shu snorted coldly, "I'm afraid you are trying to get the skin of a tiger."

"Don't worry about my business. Take care of yourself. Don't come to me again until the Xun family overturns the verdict."

"No, then no."

The two parted unhappily.

Su Nuan had no idea that in some corner of the imperial city, Ying Shu would be angry with her and his sister.

She was concentrating on watching Lady Wang cook in the kitchen. Watching people cook is a good way to relieve stress. In the past, she felt very comfortable watching some cooking videos on her mobile phone. Now she can watch it live and participate in it, which doubles her happiness.

"You can add some coriander, but forget about the meat."

"My queen, would you be unhappy if I were just Her Majesty the Radish?"

"I don't think so. I saw him at noon and he didn't seem angry. If he didn't want to eat, he would tell me. It wouldn't be too late to change it after he told me."

"So do you want to eat radishes yourself at night?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I eat radishes?"

"Didn't you say that autumn radishes are better than ginseng?"

"I have ginseng, so I don't need to eat radish."

Madam Wang was a little confused. She didn't understand why the concubine said that radish was better than anything else, but she herself refused to eat a single bite.

"Are you sure the dishes for dinner are not the same as those for lunch?"

Su Nuan looked at the table full of dishes made from radishes and asked Madam Wang with half belief and half doubt.

"No, I can guarantee that. The dishes at noon are heavier in flavor, mostly braised dishes or sauces. The dishes at night are lighter, mainly steamed or blanched."

Su Nuan gave Madam Wang a thumbs up. Wow, two radishes were used to make eight dishes. They were all delicious and different from what they had at lunch.

I don’t know if Mu Yunting and Dong Jingshu noticed anything. If it were me back then, I would definitely not find myself being treated harshly after eating two such radish banquets. I might even praise the chef.

It seems that Kang Dahong's cooking skills are far inferior to those of Lady Wang.

Su Nuan left the task of delivering the food to herself. She wanted to hear Mu Yunting's feedback on lunch, and also wanted to see how he and Dong Jingshu got along.

When they arrived at Lanyue Pavilion, Mu Yunting was the only one sitting in the yard.

He still looked very happy when he saw Su Nuan, and didn't mention whether the food was delicious or whether he wanted to add some meat or anything.

I only cared about what Su Nuan did in the day and whether she was tired.

Su Nuan felt that Mu Yunting seemed to have changed since he rescued her from the Dali Temple's prison cell. He was no longer as cold and noble as before, but became much gentler.

She guessed that this man probably felt sorry for her. After all, he was having a good time outside while she suffered for him.

I feel much more at ease when I think of giving him a radish feast.

"Your Highness, is Concubine Dong used to the food I cook? If not, I will try something different tomorrow."

"She eats well, leave her alone."

"No matter what, she is your Highness's woman after all. It would not be my fault if she starved. I specially made a bowl of soup for her. Your Highness, please let her drink it later."

This was really specially made by Su Nuan.

I went to the pharmacy today and specifically asked the doctor on duty what I could eat to pass gas quickly.

The doctor told her that boiling radish, yam and tangerine peel together would help expel gas.

So she specially cooked radish, yam and tangerine peel soup.

"You only make soup for her, but no share for me?"

Mu Yunting asked pitifully.

Su Nuan suddenly remembered how Mu Yunting asked her for cake, and her heart softened.

"How can there be no Your Highness? I cooked a big bowl and you two can share it."

Only after hearing her say this did Mu Yunting smile.

Su Nuan handed over the food box, and watched Mu Yunting return to the house with a smile before leaving.

Back at Duiyueju, the rich aroma of meat could be smelled in the yard.

Su Nuan asked someone to bring a jar of Drunken Immortal Wine.

If there is meat, there must be wine. The meat cooked by Lady Wang should be paired with Drunken Immortal Wine.

She was eating meat and drinking wine in her room, but in Lanyue Pavilion, Dong Jingshu frowned at the table full of radishes.

"Your Highness, what does Sister Xia mean by this? Why is the only dish sent to you radish?"

Mu Yunting replied calmly: "There is still soup."

Although Su Nuan used radish in this soup, when she served it into the bowl, she only put a few pieces of yam in the soup and sprinkled a few wolfberries in the soup, so that people could not tell that radish was included in the ingredients of the soup.

Mu Yunting served himself a bowl of soup and savored it carefully.

Seeing that he was drinking with gusto, Dong Jingshu also served a bowl.

This is the only dish on the table without radish. We had a bowl each and we finished the whole bowl of soup in no time.

Dong Jingshu also ate all the yam in the soup.

After drinking the soup, she felt warm in her stomach and felt quite comfortable.

I felt less resentful about the table full of radishes.

Besides, these radishes were not bad to eat, so she ate many of them with rice.

She even fought with Mu Yunting for the last piece of blanched radish strips.

With the joint efforts of the two, there was little left of the eight dishes.

If they knew what would happen at night after eating so many radishes, they probably wouldn't have eaten them so happily.
