Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 146 Imperial Dining Room

Night fell quietly, and the entire Star-Picking Tower became exceptionally peaceful.

At this moment, apart from the two guards standing outside the door, only Su Yue and Qiao Yun remained.

After delivering the vegetables, Qiaoyun hurriedly returned and immediately began preparing dinner.

In recent days, everyone else has been busy with external affairs.

Qiaoxia went to work at the shop, Chuntao went to work at the orphanage, and even Dali, who usually clung to Su Yue, went with Shen Lerong to the manor in the suburbs.

After dinner, Su Yue and Qiao Yun went together to the jujube tree in the front yard.

Just as Su Yue arrived under the jujube tree, an amazing scene unfolded. The jujube tree suddenly began to shake violently, accompanied by a rustling sound, and large, red jujubes fell to the ground like raindrops.

It almost stripped the entire jujube tree bare.

Faced with this scene, Qiaoyun's already round eyes widened instantly like copper bells, and her mouth opened wide in surprise, unable to close for a long time.

However, despite her surprise, her hands moved swiftly.

She quickly squatted down and deftly picked up the scattered red dates on the ground. In no time, her hands were full of red dates.

Then, she jogged all the way to the back courtyard and soon returned carrying a small, exquisite bamboo basket.

Back by the jujube tree, she continued to bend down and pick up the fallen jujubes without stopping, putting them one by one into her bamboo basket.

"Oh dear, look! I told you before, this jujube tree must have become a spirit!"

When other people come to ask for dates, it's quite arrogant. Not only do they have to beg it politely, but it might not even give them any.

Who would have thought that, you've only just arrived, and it's already generously dumped a whole basketful of fruit!

While Qiaoyun was busy picking up dates, she couldn't help but tease Su Yue.

At this moment, Su Yue closed her eyes slightly, mobilized the spiritual energy in her body, and carefully approached the jujube tree.

Then she felt the joy of the jujube tree.

Believe it or not, this jujube tree actually developed a bit of intelligence; it originally grew up in Su Yue's space.

After planting it, Su Yue was afraid it would die, so she poured out too much spiritual spring water. In addition, people came and went from the Star-Picking Tower every day, and the tree also received the incense offerings from the people.

It has developed a sliver of intelligence, though not much. If it can be watered with spiritual spring water a few times in the future, or wait here for a hundred years, it might really become a spirit.

The jujube tree could still sense Su Yue's presence, so when she arrived, it acted as if presenting a treasure, wanting to drop all the jujubes from the tree.

Su Yue walked to the jujube tree, poured some spiritual spring water for her, and infused her with some spiritual energy.

The jujube tree shook even more violently, and Su Yue could clearly feel that it was very happy.

It would be nice if the jujube tree in the front yard could become a spirit; even if I'm not around, the Star-Picking Tower would still have someone to protect it.

After Qiaoyun finished picking the dates, she happily brought the basket to Su Yue to look at.

"This jujube tree is amazing! Look how many jujubes it has grown, and there are still so many on the tree. How are we supposed to eat all of them?!"

"Fairy Envoy, have you ever tried honey dates? They're so delicious! I'll go buy some honey tomorrow and make some as soon as I get back." Qiaoyun was as happy as she was picking them earlier, but now she was just as worried.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. This jujube tree has already developed some intelligence, so remember to water it from now on," Su Yue said to Qiaoyun.

Then he returned to the Star-Picking Tower to continue his cultivation.

However, those powerful and influential people in Kyoto did not sleep very well.

Especially Mu Yuqing, ever since he ate the vegetables that Su Yue had Qiaoyun send over.

He ate too much that night, and even the two extra peaches that were given to him were devoured in one go.

He originally had two peaches, intending to enjoy them himself, but things don't always go as planned!

His empress was more than two months pregnant and in a very unusual condition, vomiting constantly no matter what she ate.

Seeing that the Empress was getting thinner and thinner, the imperial physicians repeatedly urged her to eat more nutritious food.

After all, the palace had all kinds of delicacies, but to everyone's dismay, the empress had absolutely no interest in them.

Just then, Qiaoyun arrived, holding a token.

They were given a basket full of fresh vegetables and two particularly tempting peaches.

He then informed Mu Yuqing that these were gifts specially sent by Su Yue.

At first, Mu Yuqing thought to himself: It's just a few vegetables, why bother sending someone to deliver them?

But then I thought, since it was sent by the celestial messenger, it certainly shouldn't be neglected. Even if it's just for show, it can't be thrown away casually!

So that evening, he ordered the imperial kitchen to cook the vegetables and serve them on the table.

Because he needed to accompany the pregnant and unwell Empress, the prepared dishes were sent directly to the Empress's residence, Yongshou Palace.

When these delicious-looking dishes were served, the queen, who had initially felt nauseous, suddenly found herself with a good appetite.

Mu Yuqing watched as the Empress wolfed down her food, only taking two bites before she couldn't stop eating.

She looked as if she had been starving for a long time, which made people feel sorry for her.

Seeing the Empress's good appetite, Mu Yuqing finally felt relieved.

After all, the Empress was carrying their first child, and with such a strong appetite, the fetus should be safe and sound.

Relieved, Mu Yuqing smiled slightly and picked up his chopsticks to eat heartily.

The moment he put the food in his mouth, Mu Yuqing couldn't lift his head anymore.

For a moment, the two were vying for it, neither willing to give in.

Just as the Empress picked up a piece of bok choy and put it in her mouth, Mu Yuqing quickly reached out with his chopsticks and snatched the stir-fried lettuce next to her.

They ate back and forth like that, neither of them looking up.

Where is the dignified demeanor that a ruler and mother of a country should have?

At that moment, they were like two refugees who had been starving for three whole days, with only the food on the table in their eyes.

Before they knew it, the plate, which had been full, gradually became empty, but the two of them showed no sign of stopping.

Finally, after the last bite of food was put into their mouths, the two straightened up with satisfaction.

However, because they ate too much and too quickly, their bellies were already bulging like small hills.

The two subconsciously reached out and gently stroked their round bellies, feeling the fullness of their stomachs.

When their eyes met, both of them wore awkward yet slightly shy smiles.

This is probably the first time in their lives that they have ever been so unrespecting and so shameful!

Looking at the empty table in front of her, all the dishes that Su Yue had brought had been eaten clean.

Even the edges of the plate were wiped clean; they practically licked the plate clean.

However, apart from those dishes, the other dishes on the table remained untouched.

Soon, these untouched delicacies were returned to the imperial kitchen by the eunuchs.
