Chapter 478: The Starving Ghost Who Hasn’t Eaten for 8 Years
Chaoxi Palace.
It's late at night now.
"Gu Xi" who was lying on the bed suddenly sat up.
With the faint light coming in from the window, she got up from the bed, fumbled for a while, and turned on the light in the room.
She looked around. What a luxurious room!
She shouted:
"Here comes someone!"
There was no movement outside.
She walked to the door, opened it, and shouted:
"Here comes someone!"
Liu Erdan was on duty today. He was patrolling near the emperor's bedroom. When he heard the noise, he hurried over.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
His Majesty?
She narrowed her eyes slightly, trying her best to hide the ecstasy in her heart.
"I'm hungry, go get some midnight snack!"
Liu Erdan was stunned. His Majesty never had the habit of eating midnight snacks, so the palace did not prepare midnight snacks except for some food for the two little princes.
Even when Her Majesty was pregnant, she only asked the imperial chef to prepare roasted sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes during the day and put them in the space for easy access at any time.
"Your Majesty, what would you like to eat? I will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare it."
"Gu Xi" originally wanted to say, take two steamed buns, or cook a bowl of noodles.
But suddenly she thought, she is the emperor now, why should she still eat that kind of thing?
So I started to think about the names of the dishes:
"Spicy pork elbow, crispy pigeon, braised beef, steamed fish..." He listed more than a dozen dishes in a row, and then added:
"As for vegetables, just make a few more and send them over as soon as possible!"
After saying that, she swallowed her saliva first.
Liu Erdan looked at her in surprise and asked:
"Your Majesty, do you need to do so much?"
This is not just a midnight snack, a banquet wouldn't require so many dishes.
Gu Xi frowned.
"What? No?"
Seeing that His Majesty looked cold and unhappy, Liu Erdan hurriedly said:
"Okay, okay, I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare it right away!"
After saying that, he trotted to the imperial kitchen.
He thought that His Majesty might be going out, so he prepared more dishes and put them in the space.
As for why she had to cook in the middle of the night, Liu Erdan couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, Her Majesty must have her reasons for doing this.
As soon as Liu Erdan left, "Gu Xi" turned around and went back to his room, closed the door, and excitedly jumped onto the bed.
He rolled over, then stood up and opened the wardrobe next to him.
The clothes inside are of very good quality and look really good!
"Ha! These are all mine!" Gu Xi turned around happily.
She looked around here and there, found a book in the bedside table, opened it, and quickly flipped through the pages to take a quick look.
Then he chuckled:
"I see!"
Just as I was about to read it carefully, Liu Erdan came over with the dishes.
She looked at the table full of steaming dishes and her mouth was watering.
"All of you go out and close the door!" Gu Xi ordered.
Liu Erdan took his men out.
"Gu Xi" sat down, grabbed an elbow and started to chew it with big mouthfuls!
Fragrant, so fragrant!
While she was eating, the door suddenly opened and she turned back unhappily:
"Who is it?"
Liu Erdan stood in front of the door, holding a bowl of soup.
What did he see?
His Majesty was stuffing food into his mouth with both hands without any manner.
No need for chopsticks even.
He looks like a starving ghost who hasn't eaten for 800 years!
Seeing His Majesty staring at him, Liu Erdan hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, there is another soup."
"Gu Xi" pointed at the table: "Put it down and get out!"
Liu Erdan immediately put down the soup and rolled away quickly.
After leaving the door, Liu Erdan was still confused. Has His Majesty been possessed by evil spirits?
Normally, His Majesty was always kind to him, but today he was ordering him around.
Since His Highness was not at home, Liu Erdan felt timid and did not dare to ask.
"Gu Xi" in the room ate everything in a flash, and his stomach was about to burst. He stood up with the help of the table, and shouted with his belly sticking out:
"Someone, come and clean up!"
When Liu Erdan came in, he was totally shocked.
There were more than twenty dishes, and I ate most of them and finished every plate.
You know, usually, His Majesty and His Highness only eat four dishes and one soup.
If it is said that Your Majesty put the dishes in the space, that is not right. In the past, when Your Majesty wanted to put food in the space, he always put it together with the plates.
Liu Erdan looked around quietly. He suspected that there were a few big men who had not eaten for three days hiding in the emperor's bedroom.
But there was nothing, only His Majesty pacing back and forth, holding his bloated belly, looking like he was full.
Liu Erdan had no choice but to take people to clean up the table and leave.
"Gu Xi" took out the book again and flipped through it while pacing back and forth to digest his food.
She wanted to remember the stories in this book as soon as possible.
She didn't go to bed until it was almost dawn.
early morning.
Gu Xi woke up in Chaoxi Palace.
"Why is my stomach so bloated?" Gu Xi rubbed his stomach.
I didn’t eat much last night, and it took all night. Couldn’t you digest it?
Gu Xi took some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets from the space.
And released Chu Zhao from the space again.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes came running in:
"Mom, Dad, we want to have breakfast with you."
Qi Lan'er and Ren Xiangjun followed behind.
The two mothers often lived in the palace, and the family would occasionally have breakfast together.
Gu Xi rubbed his stomach:
"I can't eat anymore, you guys eat it yourselves."
Chu Zhaocai had just eaten at Lin Xiaoxuan's wedding and was not hungry. He said:
"I can't eat it either."
Potato looked at them with a suspicious look:
"Did Daddy and Mommy sneak some snacks?"
Sweet potato shouted: "I want to eat snacks too, not breakfast!"
Gu Xi started to lie with his eyes open:
"Nonsense, mother doesn't like snacks. Snacks are bad for the body, and children won't grow taller if they eat too much."
Potato raised his little face and questioned:
"You said before that skipping breakfast is bad for your health, so why didn't you eat breakfast today?"
Huh, this brat is using her words to confront her!
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to eat breakfast. It's just that I'm not hungry now and I really can't eat. I'll eat naturally when I'm hungry."
Liu Erdan, who was bringing breakfast to several masters, looked at their Majesty with complicated eyes.
I thought to myself, I just ate more than twenty dishes two hours ago, it would be strange if I was hungry!
Gu Xi looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, rubbed his stomach and said:
"It's strange. Why do I feel so bloated so early in the morning? I don't have any appetite at all."
Qi Lan'er and Ren Xiangjun looked at each other, both with anticipation in their eyes.
Qi Lan'er was fine, as she had two daughters, but Ren Xiangjun dreamed of Gu Xi giving birth to another little princess.
"Xi'er, are you pregnant?" Ren Xiangjun asked tentatively.
Gu Xi thought it was unlikely. She didn't really want to have a baby now, so she had been using contraception.
But nothing is absolute, so she took her own pulse.
Well, it's impossible for her to get pregnant. The pulse diagnosis she made showed that she had eaten too much and had food accumulation.
