Chapter 206.1
Yaoniang didn’t assume a lot when Emperor Jin’an mentioned it was nothing necessary.
Xiao Shunzi returned from Qianqing Palace and mentioned that the Emperor Emeritus loved his dinner. Nevertheless, the meals had been a bit greasy these previous two days, so His Majesty wished to have one thing refreshing for breakfast the subsequent day.
Yaoniang nodded repeatedly, already pondering what refreshing dishes to arrange for breakfast.
Emperor Jin’an was considerably dissatisfied and mentioned, “Let the kitchen deal with these items. You don’t must fuss about it.”
Yaoniang strongly disagreed and mentioned, “How can this be thought-about fussing? It’s uncommon for the Emperor Emeritus to need to eat one thing. Physician Liu additionally mentioned that meals is healthier for nourishing one’s well being than drugs. Whenever you eat fortunately and are snug, your well being naturally improves.”
Erbao, who was oblivious to the scenario, instantly made his calls for, “Mom, I need to eat candy potato bread tomorrow, and I additionally need inexperienced bean rolls and eight treasures lotus seed soup.”
“The eight treasure lotus seed soup is simply too candy in your grandfather to eat. Let’s make shrimp and vegetable porridge for him. If you’d like the eight treasures lotus seed soup, I’ll have Mom Xue make it for you.”
“No, I need to eat what you make, Mom. Your cooking is probably the most scrumptious.” The chubby little youngster leaned over, wanting as if he would cry if his request was denied. Though Erbao not often cried now, he had 100 methods to make one cater to his each whim.
Identical to now, he nestled into Yaoniang’s arms, tugging at her garments with a infantile voice, pleading. He was cute and exasperating on the identical time, making it unimaginable for anybody to refuse him. One would even need to give him their coronary heart and soul.
“Then I’ll make it for you now. The eight treasures must be soaked prematurely, so tomorrow’s porridge can be smooth and tender.” Saying that Yaoniang grew to become enthusiastic and wished to go to the small kitchen, however she was held again by Xiaobao.
“What’s the matter?”
The officers earnestly pleaded for the sake of the court docket and the nation. However in actuality, how might the Emperor Emeritus, who had spent his life battling and outwitting these officers, not perceive what they had been pondering?
What he actually couldn’t determine was what the individuals behind these officers had been pondering.

“However…”
Earlier than these officers might say a lot, Li Dequan stepped ahead, gently escorting them out, and softly mentioned, “This servant hopes all of the ministers can think about His Majesty’s scenario. The Emperor Emeritus’s well being is already frail, and he’s at the moment recuperating. The imperial doctor has repeatedly warned towards overexertion.
