On the other side, after learning that the person on the flying boat was Moxi's confidant and the head of the East Sea Crystal Dragon Palace delegation, Chen Yuze also demonstrated his hospitality as the head of the family and warmly entertained them.

For example, having them come down for lunch together would be a pretty good option.

Although Ruiyun and Baihui had already abstained from grains, this was, after all, an invitation from their own queen, so they naturally wouldn't refuse.

Green Bean, of course, couldn't refuse Moxi's request. He didn't want to return to the Crystal Dragon Turtle with only half a shell left.

The only thing that puzzled Green Bean was that the Tushan Empress seemed to have become much kinder than when she last met her.

Looking at her smiling face, she looked exactly like my cousin who had just started dating... Wait, dating?

With her gaze fixed on Chen Yuze, Green Bean seemed to suddenly understand something!

187. Simple meals

Green Bean is a sensible person.

It was precisely because he knew how to read people's expressions and say the right thing at the right time that he was able to firmly hold his position as one of the three chief stewards of the Crystal Dragon Palace under the rule of two generations of dragon kings.

Therefore, upon first seeing Chen Yuze, Green Bean had already guessed his identity—the future male master of Tushan.

Although, given the harsh bloodline exclusionary nature of Tushan, the vast majority of Tushan citizens would probably oppose this marriage.

But after all, the Tu Shan Empress is the true master of Tu Shan. In addition, given the extraordinary talent and cultivation speed of this Tu Shan Empress, even if the previous empresses who had long since retired came, they probably wouldn't be able to shake her mind in the slightest.

Green Bean is certain that as long as Empress Tushan is alive, no one can harm this man.

After all, both the Tushan Red Fox and the Qingqiu White Fox are known for their deep affection. Once they've chosen someone, they'll never easily change their minds.

So, after performing the grand ceremony to Moxi, Green Bean, in full view of everyone, also performed the same kneeling ceremony to Chen Yuze.

"Green Bean, Chief Eunuch of the Ministry of Rites, pays respects to Queen Tushan from the Crystal Dragon Palace of the East Sea!"

"???"

When Baihui and Ruiyun brought the mung bean here, they were completely baffled by the turtle.

Damn it, didn't you see that Her Majesty was completely embarrassed?

Do you, the Grand Eunuch of the Ministry of Rites, even understand the meaning of "seeing through something but not saying it"?

His Majesty hasn't even had a chance to make an official announcement about the Queen yet, so what are you shouting about here?

At that moment, Baihui and Ruiyun almost simultaneously felt as if their entire bodies were about to split apart.

They are almost able to

One can imagine how furious Her Majesty must have been about this.

However, to their surprise...

After a brief silence, Moxi not only didn't get angry, but instead looked at the mung bean with a rather appreciative expression.

"Alright, get up."

Without denying Chen Yuze's status as queen, Moxi simply warned Green Bean: "But you must remember, what happened here today, after we leave, you are not allowed to tell anyone except your master, understand?"

"Of course I know!"

Nodding emphatically, Green Bean stood up and obediently stood to one side.

She seems to be more of a confidante of Moxi than Baihui and Ruiyun.

Chen Yuze didn't say much about it. After all, strictly speaking, Green Bean hadn't really misunderstood his relationship with Moxi.

However, it's uncertain whether Chen Yuze will marry into Tushan or Moxi will marry into the family.

"Everyone, thank you for making the long journey. I've just finished preparing lunch. It's just simple food, but I'm quite confident in my cooking skills. If you don't mind, please sit down and eat with me."

"Absolutely not!"

Before anyone else could respond, Baihui shook her head with a hint of fear: "Your Majesty is of such noble status, how can you dine at the same table as us? Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for us."

"This is my home, and my rules are my rules. Everyone is equal to my guests, regardless of status or wealth." As he said this, Chen Yuze glanced at Moxi and asked, "Is it alright if I say this?"

"Of course, Young Master Chen's home is naturally his own domain."

Her eyes held a hint of doting affection, though it was only fleeting, but Moxi's reaction still took Green Bean, Baihui, and Ruiyun by surprise.

They truly hadn't expected that Moxi would dote on Chen Yuze to this extent.

Furthermore, since Chen Yuze had already made his point and Moxi had agreed, the three of them naturally dared not make any further excuses.

However, I still feel a little awkward when sitting at the dinner table.

Compared to them, the girls in the Chen family courtyard seemed much more natural.

You Rong even tilted her head curiously and stared at Green Bean's bean-like eyes for a long time.

"Uncle, your eyes are really small."

"..."

If this happened outside, and some brat dared to talk to her like that, Green Bean would beat him to tears in no time.

But this wasn't outside, and Green Bean didn't know the exact relationship between the little guy, Empress Tushan, and that Young Master Chen, so naturally she didn't dare to speak carelessly.

Left with no other choice, he could only manage an awkward, dry laugh.

Compared to Green Bean, Baihui and Ruiyun received much better treatment.

After all, who doesn't like pretty older women?

As a result, the tension in their hearts was greatly relieved through their interactions and affectionate moments with You Rong.

"Dinner's ready!"

A little while later, with a shout from Chen Yuze, a sumptuous feast was served one by one.

It has to be said that with the added bonus of being a part-time food god, there are indeed few people who can resist the delicious dishes made by Chen Yuze.

Even Baihui and others who had been fasting for a long time couldn't help but feel their mouths watering after smelling the aroma of the food.

Especially after tasting the food, one couldn't help but widen their eyes in amazement.

Even Green Bean's eyes were so wide open it looked like she'd had her eyes widened.

They couldn't understand why these dishes, while being so delicious, were also rich in spiritual energy.

This feeling of being gradually filled up is just too irresistible!

"His Majesty."

Setting down her chopsticks, Momoe's eyes were filled with emotion: "These precious ingredients should have been enjoyed by the Queen and you. Now we have to share them with you... How could we possibly accept this!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing Baihui's terrified expression, Moxi's expression also became subtle: "Didn't Young Master Chen say that today's meal would just be simple tea and plain rice?"

"Simple meals?"

You call this simple food?

Ruiyun and Lvdoudou, who were standing nearby, patted their ears in perfect unison.

If this is just simple food, then what we usually eat is worse than swill.

"Compared to usual, today's dishes are indeed a bit bland."

As if she hadn't seen the expressions on Ruiyun and Lvdoudou's faces, Meixi calmly explained, "However, it's probably because your arrival was rather sudden that Young Master Chen didn't have time to prepare anything. Otherwise, if there were guests at home, he could have prepared a few more meat dishes."

"No, Your Majesty, do you usually eat this?" Looking at the huge pile of food on the table, Ruiyun still looked incredulous.

With the spiritual energy contained in these dishes, let alone the Empress of Tushan, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't have the ability to eat them every day, right?

However, faced with this repeated questioning, Moxi was getting a little impatient.

She first frowned, and then an immense pressure was applied to Ruiyun and the other two.

On the human body:

"Young Master Chen already said it's just simple food, are you all deaf? Besides, 'one should not speak while eating or sleeping,' even You Rong understands this principle, I don't want to repeat it a second time."

188. Keeping fish? You'd be better off keeping a dragon king instead!

After nervously finishing their lunch, Baihui, Ruiyun, and Lvdoudou each huddled in a corner of the yard, each entering their own secluded mode.

There was nothing they could do; they had upset Moxi during the meal.

Seeing how cautious they were even when eating, Chen Yuze felt a pang of heartache.

To help them regain their spirits, Chen Yuze even brought out the highest-grade tea to entertain them.

"Don't huddle in the corner, come and have some tea."

"Uh……"

Ruiyun carefully took the cup from Chen Yuze's hand. After realizing that Moxi seemed to be no longer in the courtyard, she gratefully took a sip of hot tea and asked softly, "Your Majesty, where did His Majesty go?"

"If it's Meixi, she should be washing the dishes right now, right?"

Refilling the still-empty cup with tea, Chen Yuze thought for a moment and then replied, "It just so happens that it's her turn to be on duty at home today."

"Ahem... Wash, wash the dishes!?"

Runyun choked and almost sprayed the tea she had just drunk all over Chen Yuze's face.

Ruiyun has been by Moxi's side for five or six hundred years, but this is the first time she has heard that His Majesty can do housework.

Moreover, it was for washing dishes for others.

"What's the big deal?" Amused, Chen Yuze patted Runyun's back as she choked on her tea. He then said matter-of-factly, "I not only treat her medically for free, but I also provide for her food, clothing, and other necessities. It's only natural that she helps with housework at home, right?"

"You, you're absolutely right!"

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Ruiyun suddenly realized that she couldn't quite see through the queen in front of her.

It's one thing to have superb medical skills and excellent cooking abilities.

Unexpectedly, the Queen was also incredibly skilled in the art of controlling her wife.

You must know that since Her Majesty ascended the throne, she has never yielded to anyone.

In this small courtyard, they were actually manipulated in such a way.

If Ruiyun hadn't witnessed all of this with her own eyes, she would never have believed that His Majesty had this side to him.

"But speaking of which, has Moxi always had such a bad temper when she's with you guys?"
