108 ways to die for supporting characters

Chapter 179 The Prince of Bo's Mansion 2
But today, the flattery and timidity in his eyes disappeared, replaced by calmness.

"What kind of fragrance did Lord Ning use? It smells quite fresh."

How would Ning Yan know what kind of fragrance the original owner used?

She raised her sleeve to smell it, but it was nothing. "I don't usually use perfume, maybe the servants fumigated my clothes with perfume.

When I go back today, I will ask them to stop fumigating them."

Xiao Li closed his eyes. No, it wasn't incense at all. Instead, it seemed to be emanating from his body. But, do men also have body odor?
Smelling this fragrance, even my headache seemed to be relieved.

"No need. Keep reading."

Ning Yan resigned herself to her fate and continued to read the memorials. Si Xi's pressing seemed to have no effect. Xiao Li sat back down and marked the memorials that Ning Yan had read.

It was noon, time for the emperor to have lunch, and the eunuchs entered the side hall carrying a row of food boxes.

"Come here and have lunch with me."

Xiao Li was already certain that the fragrance from Ning Yan's body could indeed relieve his headache, so, let him stay with him all the time.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor started to eat only after the eunuchs had tested the food for poison. Someone was also helping Ning Yan pick up dishes. Ning Yan looked at the food in the bowl, her mind racing.

The original owner was knocked unconscious by Prince Su today and thrown into Taihu Lake where he drowned.

Does she want to lead the emperor to the plum forest and expose Prince Su to the emperor, or does she want to avoid the plum forest herself and save her life?
The emperor obviously had a poor appetite today. He ate like he was swallowing medicine, and his speed was extremely slow.

"Your Majesty, do you dislike these dishes?"

Xiao Li raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Ning Yan had really become bolder. He even dared to speak while he was eating!
"No, I have had a poor appetite in the past two days."

Ning Yan said, "I heard from people that eating too many foods together will cause anorexia. Your Majesty, would you like to try changing the diet?"

Xiao Li's chopsticks had already stopped, "Oh, how do I change it?"

Ning Yan immediately climbed up the pole: "I would like to ask the emperor to forgive me for my innocence first."

Xiao Li: "Well, I forgive you. But if you can't satisfy me, watch out for your head."

Ning Yan immediately smiled at the emperor in a flattering manner, "Your Majesty, my head is still useful, you should keep it for now."

Xiao Li: ...You're so talkative!
"Come here, leave these dishes behind and remove all the others. Go to the emperor's small kitchen and get some white steamed buns. Also, bring in a stove for cooking."

There are seventy or eighty dishes, and the presentation is so exquisite, with green and red. At first glance, they are beautiful, but if you look at them every day, you will really get aesthetically fatigued.

The key point is that the dishes are picked by the servants, and you have to eat whatever is put in the bowl whether you like it or not.

Normal people naturally don’t feel it, but for someone with some psychological problems and a little anorexia, wouldn’t he feel even less like eating?

Xiao Li simply put down his bowl and chopsticks to see what Ning Yan could come up with.

Soon, all the dishes except those left by Ning Yan were taken away.

The small stove was also brought in. Ning Yan directly put the steamed chicken, stir-fried mushrooms, and stir-fried green and red peppers on the table into the pot one after another. Soon, the aroma of the chicken, the taste of the mushrooms, and the taste of the green and red peppers were all stimulated. Especially when the green and red peppers were fried with garlic, the smell was particularly tempting. The emperor's throat slid up and down visibly.

The fire was almost ready. Ning Yan quickly put the dishes back on the plate, and then heated the casserole lamb and carrot soup directly on the stove. "Your Majesty, please try it. It tastes really good."

As she spoke, she served herself a bowl of rice, put some vegetables into the bowl, mixed them with chopsticks, and started eating.

The taste of green pepper is really tempting, and the texture of chicken is absolutely delicious. The bowls in the palace are small, so a bowl of rice can be finished in just a few bites.

Just then, the mutton and radish in the casserole were bubbling. Ning Yan scooped a spoonful of the soup and drank it. It tasted really good.

The emperor was attracted by the way she ate and became greedy.

"Why don't you pick some food for me?"

Si Xi hurried forward, "Hey, the servant is here."

Ning Yan stopped him immediately, "Your Majesty, let's not have anyone serve us today. Just eat by yourself. There are only these three dishes on the table anyway. It won't be tiring."

On the table now there was a hodgepodge she had made, a piece of braised pork cut as thin as paper, and the lamb and radish still on the stove.

Xiao Li: "...Si Xi, you should go have lunch too. You don't need anyone to serve you here."

Si Xi: ...Okay, Lord Ning is going to take away his job.

However, as long as the emperor likes it, he will be happy too.

He waved his hand and all the servants in the hall retreated.

Ning Yan immediately picked up a big steamed bun, broke it open, put a few slices of braised meat in it, and also put some dried tofu and green peppers in it, then closed the two slices of steamed buns and took a bite, "Hmm, delicious, Your Majesty, please try it!"

Xiao Li: I am the emperor, and not only do you ask me to eat only three dishes, you even want me to eat the steamed buns with my hands?
My upbringing and etiquette do not allow it!
He picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. It tasted really good. At least it was hot and slightly spicy, and the aroma of the food went straight into his nose.

Seeing Ning Yan serve another bowl of rice and mix it with vegetables, Xiao Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This kid looks thin, but I didn't expect he can eat so much. In his whole life, he has never seen many people who dare to eat like this in front of him.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Li took a sip of mutton soup and took a bite of a steamed bun with meat. Although he was still eating in a gentlemanly manner, he looked nothing like an emperor!
Ning Yan turned her head away and didn't look at the emperor. She was afraid that she would laugh out loud. The emperor's anorexia was because he was too pampered. So she tried a rougher way and cured his bad habit!
This is similar to what happens in modern times: if she is inexperienced, take her to see the world's prosperity; if she has experienced vicissitudes of life, take her to ride a carousel.

"belch".

In the quiet side hall, the burp was too obvious.

Ning Yan: ...Should I laugh or not?
"Your Majesty, when I came on duty this morning, I heard someone say that the plum blossoms in the Plum Garden have bloomed. I would like to invite Your Majesty to appreciate them. I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to do me the honor."

Xiao Li glared at her, then stood up and walked out, but his steps were not fast. When he passed Ning Yan, he snorted, "Follow me."

Ning Yan hurriedly followed in small steps.

Whenever the emperor moves, Si Xi must follow. Although there are only three of them in public, the secret guards are all hiding in the dark, always paying attention to the emperor's safety.

There's nothing we can do. It's because the emperor is such a jerk. He kills people every day for no reason. He has offended a lot of people, and some of them are plotting to seize his throne. He is assassinated almost every few days.

He hasn't been stabbed to death yet, he's lucky!

The Plum Garden is located in the southeast direction of the Shengji Palace and also to the east of the Imperial Garden. The location is a bit remote, otherwise Prince Su would not have chosen there for his tryst with Concubine Wu.
