Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 475 Drunk

Liu Yuechu was dizzy and lightheaded after a busy day of trade affairs. Since the discussion was about trade, she naturally wouldn't only consider Daqi. In any case, the four-nation alliance was a foregone conclusion, so she also included Meng and Yan.

The four countries were in a state of trade, and the negotiations were indeed quite exhausting, as it required that each country benefit from the agreement.

Having used up so many brain cells, she needs to replenish them drastically.

Have a good meal.

The Chu Emperor's attendants were not dismissed, and instead served Liu Yuechu.

There are people serving food, helping with makeup, massaging legs, and telling stories... Safety is a given, and even the people folding clothes and wiping the floor are handsome young men.

Liu Yuechu only dared to use this person who made delicious food; all the others were sent away on vacation, waiting for the Chu Emperor to return.

Anyway, with Hou Lai protecting her, she doesn't need anyone else to ensure her safety.

But when it comes to food, Hou Lai is really not good at it. Apart from roasting a pigeon, everything he makes is burnt.

Liu Yuechu, being a glutton, indulged herself this time and used the Chu Emperor's handsome chef.

Good skills, and a good person.

It is indeed pleasing to the eye.

"Madam has been working too hard these past two days, so I have specially prepared a fresh fish soup for you. This dish uses the brains of forty-nine fish, and is carefully prepared with tonics such as goji berries and longan. Since it is all fish brains, I have also added a little century-old Shaoxing wine to remove the fishy smell. It melts in your mouth."

The servant brought it over, and Liu Yuechu drooled.

Her eating manners were not as elegant and dignified as those of the Chu Emperor; instead, she ate with great relish.

She finished the bowl in one gulp, then asked for another. If the servant hadn't said they were all gone, she definitely would have asked for a third bowl.

“It’s not appropriate for you to eat too much of this at once, since it’s been mixed with wine. There are also some mild porridge and side dishes here to soothe your stomach, please try them, Madam.” Although the servant knew that Liu Yuechu had a good appetite, he didn’t expect her to eat so much.

Liu Yuechu didn't mind and ate a few bites.

The aroma of Shaoxing wine in the fish soup made her feel slightly tipsy, and she became increasingly drunk. Soon her face was as red as a peach, and she had a touch of coquettishness. Even her voice was soft and sweet. "...This porridge reminds me of the noodles my husband makes."

"Although his noodles are very ordinary, they are pleasant to eat, and the side dishes retain a fresh and refreshing taste with a sweet aftertaste."

"Even the fish balls in the noodles were made by his own hands, and they are very bouncy."

"Unfortunately, I can't eat it anymore."

Liu Yuechu suddenly found the food in her mouth didn't taste very good; she really missed Yuancuo...

The servant slowly stepped forward. "Madam, please tell me in detail what the texture of that dish is like. I will try to make it for you."

Liu Yuechu turned to look at him. His handsome features were indeed alluring, especially his long eyelashes, which fluttered and were even more beautiful than her own.

"Although you are more handsome than my husband, you can't make the noodles he makes for me."

"Because he is my husband, and you are not."

"This humble servant dares not compare himself to Madam's husband, but is willing to serve Madam..." The servant dared not touch Liu Yuechu's hand, but knelt obediently in front of her, waiting for her favor.

Liu Yuechu gasped and swallowed hard. She never imagined that such a day would come.

"I suddenly understand why His Majesty has three thousand beauties in his harem..."

"Cough cough cough."

Liu Yuechu also felt that these words were a bit excessive. "Alright, get up. I only like the food you cook, and you are His Majesty's person, so I dare not touch you. Of course, whether you are her person or not, I will not touch you either, because I have a husband." She was still sober at the last moment.

The servant was not disappointed; he bowed respectfully and quietly withdrew.

Liu Yuechu smacked her lips, genuinely feeling a little drunk.

"Why did he suddenly get drunk?" Liu Yuechu rubbed her temples and instructed, "Tell them that from now on, no matter how fishy the food is, they are not allowed to put alcohol in it."

Alcohol is something that can easily make people impulsive.

Moreover, it's very difficult for her to sober up when she's drunk, and she still has a lot of things to do.

"Fine, no alcohol. From now on, no alcohol will be added to any of the dishes." A voice rang in her ear, magnetic and husky, with a hint of anger.

Liu Yuechu was taken aback; why did that voice sound a little familiar?

She turned her head toward the direction of the voice, her vision already blurry. "Are you new here? You do look somewhat like my husband."

She hadn't expected the century-old Shaoxing wine to have such a strong aftereffect, and she even drank two bowls of fresh fish soup in a little too quickly.

Hou Lai watched from the shadows, his heart pounding in his chest.

What do you mean he resembles your husband? This is clearly your husband.

But Yuan Cuo certainly didn't want him to make a sound to remind him. After all, someone who had traveled a long way and even neglected the enthronement ceremony would not be happy to come in and see his wife flirting with a handsome servant.

Fortunately, this ancestor managed to restrain himself and didn't actually favor the cook, otherwise who knows what terrible things might have happened!

Yuan Cuo looked at her, feeling both angry and amused. He imitated the servant and squatted down in front of her. "Really? So similar? I don't think so. Why don't you touch it and see?"

He grabbed her hand and stroked it against his face.

Liu Yuechu instinctively struggled and immediately shook off his hand. "How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you lay a hand on me?!"

"Of course I know, but I'm audacious enough to hope for your favor, madam. What do you say?" Yuan Cuo embraced her, deliberately getting close to her.

Liu Yuechu couldn't break free.

There was a "pop" sound!

She slapped him hard across the face, so hard that her hand ached.

Yuan Cuo was intrigued by the slap, so he grabbed her hand and picked her up in one scoop!

"I'll see what else you're capable of. If I want your favor, you must have it!"

"Waaah, someone come here..." Liu Yuechu's mouth was also gagged!

The two left and went straight into the house.

Hou Lai rubbed his forehead, realizing he had no choice but to come out and clean up the mess, chasing away everyone who had heard the noise.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, you'd better plug your ears and pretend you're mute, or you'll have to bear the consequences."

No one knew who this man was. Who could be so daring as to enter the Chu Emperor's palace and forcibly take Lady Liu as his own?

A name popped into their heads, and then they stared in disbelief, their eyes wide with shock.

Shouldn't that person be in the State of Yan?

Isn't today his coronation ceremony?

What will happen to the State of Yan if he appears here?

Everyone considered the most likely possibility: the other three kings had been stood up...

After being tossed and turned around, Liu Yuechu was covered in sweat and naturally saw clearly who was next to her.
