After Being Forced to Marry a Tyrant of the Enemy Nation - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: She Can Accept A Kiss

The eunuch’s expression stiffened when he heard this. He immediately overlapped his hands before his chest and said, “Alright. Your Majesty, please wait here. I will prepare it right away.”

This little Empress is really extraordinary.

Su Nuan did not take a look since it was too bloody.

She squatted outside the cage and watched happily as the rabbits ate fresh vegetables.

Zhen Zhu followed after, not the least bit surprised.

I thought that our Empress had changed, but looking at her now, she’s still the same as before.

“Your Majesty, are you going to order the Imperial chefs to prepare these rabbits and make you some rabbit soup?” Zhen Zhu asked with a straight face..

To her surprise, the Empress widened her eyes and stared at her. “Zhen Zhu, how can you be so cruel?”

???

Su Nuan continued seriously, “The little rabbits are so cute, how can you eat them just like that? You have to wait till they’re big before eating them.”

Zhen Zhu laughed awkwardly. “You’re right, Your Majesty. You should eat them when they’re older.”

They were still talking when the Imperial chef had finished killing and cleaning the rabbit. He said respectfully, “Your Majesty, the rabbit has been prepared. Do you want to stew it whole or cut it into pieces to stew?”

Su Nuan immediately imagined a rabbit feast. She thought about it carefully. Unfortunately, there were only a few dishes that she could make today: mala rabbit head and Sichuan spicy rabbit. At most, she could also make some rabbit stew on top of that.

Hence, she instructed, “Cut off the rabbit’s head. Half of the remaining parts will be diced into pieces the size of your fingernails. The other half will be chopped. Gauge the size based on what you usually use for soup. After you chop it up, just leave it there. I’ll take over later. Oh right, make me a plate of chili too.”

Su Nuan was afraid of bloody things, but if the cute rabbit was chopped into pieces, it would look no different from ordinary meat. Then, she would not be afraid anymore.

As Su Nuan had instructed him detailedly, the Imperial chef chopped the meat effortlessly and quickly.

Su Nuan then poured the meat into the water to remove the blood.

After the blood was removed, she washed the meat in warm water and started to stir-fry it.

She deliberately placed a rag over the spatula to prevent scalding herself.

Su Nuan wanted to eat her favorite rabbit meat immediately. She was exceptionally happy even while cooking it.

She sautéed some scallions, ginger, and garlic in oil. Then, she poured the diced rabbit meat into the pan to stir-fry. After stir-frying, she added some soy sauce into the pan and continued to stir-fry. Finally, she poured more than half a plate of chili. She also sprinkled salt and some other ingredients from the supermarket. Finally, the Sichuan spicy rabbit dish was ready.

As for the other pot, it was already boiling with rabbit soup. The rabbit head had also been cooked after the Sichuan spicy rabbit was completed. When these dishes were done, it was already dinner time.

Feng Junyi was already waiting in the warm room.

He was curious about what the little girl would cook for him tonight.

He ate more during lunch and seemed to understand why she could eat so much.

As the nation’s ruler, he could not be too consumed with desire for anything, so he had always restrained himself and only ate until he was 70-80% full.

After waiting for a long time, he could no longer continue reading the book in his hands. He put the book down and paced around the room.

Two servings of the dishes were served after she finished cooking.

After all, it was a huge rabbit that weighed around two kilograms. Su Nuan knew that the units of measurements used in ancient times were completely different from those in modern times. The rabbits raised in the Imperial kitchen were exceptionally plump and beautiful. The rabbit was probably about four kilograms in reality.

Therefore, it was not a problem to cook two servings.

One serving was for her and the Emperor, while the other was for the Empress Dowager. No matter what, the Empress Dowager was still the Emperor’s biological mother.

Moreover, she didn’t think the Empress Dowager was that evil after interacting with her for some time.

She even wondered if the Empress Dowager was being held hostage by the Regent.

But before she could expand on that thought further, she was drawn to the table of delicacies she made.

Of course, she had prepared more than just these three dishes. The Imperial kitchen never lacked any supplementary food, so she also prepared fruits and noodles. In addition to these, she also prepared a plate of cabbage stir-fried in vinegar sauce and poached egg in rice wine soup.

If the Emperor could not eat spicy food, he could relieve his taste buds with sweet food.

As for her, she used to be fond of spicy food.

The food was placed on the table. Feng Junyi frowned at the dishes, and in particular, the rabbit head.

“This head is…”

“Mala rabbit head. It is so delicious! This is my first time making it, but it looks pretty good. Big Brother Emperor, do you want to try it?”

Feng Junyi did not move, but he was almost having a mental breakdown.

Isn’t “mala rabbit head” essentially just a rabbit’s head? Can a rabbit’s head be eaten?

When Feng Junyi refused to eat, Su Nuan took her chopsticks, picked up a piece of spicy rabbit, and put it into her mouth. As she chewed, she put on a blissful expression and said, “It’s really delicious. Big Brother Emperor, look, there’s no poison.”

“Mhm.”

Feng Junyi took a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of rabbit meat. As expected, it tasted completely different from the food he had eaten before. The only drawback was that it was too spicy.

Feng Junyi felt as though his mouth was on fire after eating two pieces of meat. However, he could not stop eating despite how spicy it was.

Su Nuan felt like laughing when she saw this.

Feng Junyi’s usually pale face became a little flushed due to the spice, and a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead.

As Su Nuan watched him, she thought he looked more attractive than usual for some reason.

The way the little tyrant looks right now is such a blessing to my eyes.

He looks gentle and delicate, his skin so pale it’s almost transparent. It almost makes me want to make him cry.

Eh?

Su Nuan quickly dismissed this thought. She was really too perverted.

Someone like the little tyrant would probably rather shed blood than tears.

Feng Junyi sensed that she was staring at him and stopped eating. “Why aren’t you eating?”

Su Nuan replied for no particular reason, “Watching you eat is enough for me.”

“Hm?”

Su Nuan hurriedly continued gently, “What I meant was that I’ve gained weight, so I need to eat less! Big Brother Emperor, you should eat more!”

Why does it sound different from what I just heard?

Wait…

Feng Junyi stared at Su Nuan suddenly, his body not moving at all.

Su Nuan felt a little shy under his stare, her heart thumping wildly.

I just prepared some food for him. Is he touched?

Maybe I reached his heart. If he finds me beautiful and virtuous, he might not be able to resist kissing my cheek.

Oh, but I would be okay with it even if he kissed me on my lips instead.

When Su Nuan thought of this, she immediately pouted shyly and moved closer to Feng Junyi…
