Qi Yejing still had a lot of memorials to review, so after getting the incense he returned to the imperial study. Watching him leave, Yun Zhining completely relaxed.

"Qingzhu, what are we having for dinner?"

"Whatever your majesty wants to eat, I will send someone to the imperial kitchen to get it. If it is not available in the imperial kitchen, I will ask Xiaokui to cook it in the small kitchen."

"I want to eat spicy chicken wings, mapo tofu, spicy fish, Dongpo pork, Kung Pao chicken and four-happiness meatballs."

Her diet was very light during her pregnancy and confinement. Now that she is finally out of confinement, she wants to indulge herself a little. If she continues to eat like this, her mouth will almost become dry.

"Don't eat any of it."

As soon as Nanny Qi arrived, she heard Yun Zhining saying that she wanted to eat these heavy-tasting things and immediately stopped her.

"Qingzhu, go to the imperial kitchen and get some donkey hide gelatin mushroom soup, boiled shrimp, wine lees brown sugar egg, old duck soup, and a serving of golden soup fish fillet."

Yun Zhining's face suddenly fell.

"Mammy, I've finished my confinement. Please let me eat a little bit of different flavors, please."

"You just finished your confinement and your body hasn't fully recovered yet. You can't eat spicy, stimulating, meaty or greasy food for the time being. Take good care of yourself for another month. Then let Doctor Chen check your pulse. If your body has recovered, you can eat some to satisfy your cravings."

Doctor Chen?

Yun Zhining's eyes lit up and she instantly came up with an idea.

"If Doctor Chen says now that I'm fully recovered, can I eat the dish I just ordered?"

"Yes, Qingzhu, go and ask Doctor Chen now. If he says that the queen has recovered, the queen can order one of the dishes I just mentioned. If Doctor Chen says that the queen needs to rest for a while, then you should listen to my instructions."

"Okay, it's a deal. Qingzhu, go get Doctor Chen right away."

She is determined to eat this meat dish today!

Doctor Chen came quickly and said with a smile after taking the patient's pulse.

"Don't worry, Madam Qi. Madam Ming has recovered almost completely. It's okay for her to eat spicy, greasy, and meaty food. If you are really worried, just ask the imperial kitchen to be more careful when cooking and not use such strong flavors."

Nanny Qi looked at Yun Zhining with suspicion.

"My lady, could it be that you bribed Doctor Chen in advance?"

"how is this possible?"

After she gave birth, she drank several cups of spiritual spring water every day. All the impurities in her body were excreted, and the trauma she suffered during pregnancy and childbirth was also mostly healed. She didn't have to worry about being examined by Doctor Chen at all.

Seeing her looking at her angrily, Nanny Qi nodded.

"Okay, since Doctor Chen has said you're fine, I won't meddle in your business anymore."

"Hey, Qingzhu, why don't you go to the Imperial Hospital and bring me some food."

"Wait a moment!"

"Madame Qi, you are not going to regret it, are you?"

"how is this possible?"

Aunt Qi glared at her and said speechlessly.

"I just want to remind you, Madam, that you have just finished your confinement and are still recovering. You can eat something delicious, but you must control the amount and don't overeat, otherwise it will harm your body."

"Okay, Mammy, I know that everything you do is for me. You are strict with me because you are worried that I will have a baby at such a young age and it will be easy for me to lose my health. I understand all this. I promise you that I will take good care of myself and will never make you worry."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and go to the imperial kitchen to get the food, eat something early and rest."

"Okay, Qingzhu, what are you still standing there for? Go quickly!"

At the same time, in the imperial study, Dong Ling also brought the meal.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

"You go and set the table first. I'll go after I finish reading this memorial."

"Yes."

Half a minute later, Qi Yejing finally finished reading the memorial, washed his hands, sat down at the table, glanced at the meal, and frowned slightly.

Dong Ling's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this meal?"

"No."

Qi Yejing came back to his senses, shook his head and chuckled.

"I just suddenly remembered that Mingpin seemed to like eating these dishes very much. However, she just gave birth to a child and her body has not fully recovered. Madam Qi will definitely not let her eat anything she wants. She must feel very uncomfortable watching others eat her favorite dishes to their heart's content while she can only eat plain soup."

"Your Majesty, do you want to send one or two dishes to Concubine Ming?"

“Dong Ling, pack some of each dish and deliver it to Qingning Palace in person.”

"If Concubine Ming sees this, she will definitely be very happy."

"No, no, I asked you to send these dishes to Qingning Palace not to satisfy Mingpin's craving, but to have you eat them all in front of Mingpin."

Dong Ling's face wrinkled instantly.

"Your Majesty, there are so many dishes. Even if I only take two chopsticks of each, it's not enough. How can I finish them?"

"If you can't finish it, share it with the people in Qingning Palace. Isn't there a maid named Xiaokui beside Mingpin? Although she looks skinny, she is a big eater. With her around, we will definitely finish these dishes."

"The food issue is not a big deal, but isn't Your Majesty worried that Concubine Ming will have someone beat me to death?"

It’s already uncomfortable not being able to eat what I want, and you even ask me to eat so many delicious foods in front of others. Don’t you feel any pain in your conscience?

It is obvious that Qi Yejing has no conscience. If he has no conscience, how can he feel pain?

"Hurry up and go. If you are late, Mingpin will have finished her meal and the effect will be greatly reduced by then."

Dong Ling had no choice but to go.

When he arrived, Yun Zhining had just finished the meal that she had obtained with great difficulty from Aunt Qi, and was drinking soup without any appetite. When she saw him coming, she lost interest too.

"It's so late, why are you running to Qingning Palace instead of having a good meal?"

Dong Ling smiled awkwardly.

"I am here on the orders of the Emperor to deliver food to you, Madam Mingpin."

"If it's something like donkey-hide gelatin, red dates, and wolfberry chicken soup, don't take it out. I don't want to eat it."

"Empress Ming has misunderstood. These meals were taken from the emperor's dinner. How could the emperor eat donkey-hide gelatin and red dates?"

"What did he have for dinner?"

"Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, spicy chicken, Maoxuewang, boiled fish fillet, fish-flavored eggplant, Dongpo pork, pearl dumplings, spicy beef, garlic crayfish, stir-fried pork with pepper, chopped pepper fish head, crispy duck, Dong'an chicken, steamed cured meat, ..."

Every time Dong Ling read out a name, Yun Zhining's eyes brightened a little. When he finished reading, the light in Yun Zhining's eyes was comparable to sunlight.

The more she acted like this, the more guilty Dong Ling felt.

"However, the Emperor said that Your Majesty has just given birth to the little princess and her body has not fully recovered yet. She cannot eat these dishes for the time being."

"Since he knows I can't eat these dishes, why did he ask you to deliver them?"

"The Emperor said that Your Majesty has been eating bland food for several months in a row, and her mouth must have no taste. But your body has not fully recovered yet, so I can only let Xiaokui eat it for you to see. Your Majesty and Xiaokui are in tune with each other, so I'm sure you can feel her feelings, so this way you can kill two birds with one stone."

Yun Zhining almost vomited blood.

Qi Yejing, you are a real dog. Calling you the Dog Emperor is absolutely not unfair to you.
