This time, it was Xia Ruqing's turn to be at a loss for words.
"Emperor, this servant doesn't eat rabbits; I'm raising them!"
Zhao Junyao asked again, "What about others?"
"There are others?"
Xia Ruqing suddenly remembered that Little Zhuzi mentioned there were several large cages. Apparently, there were chickens and deer, and those would be tasty, but she hadn't seen them!
Zhao Junyao thought for a while, then ordered Li Shengan to inquire at the Imperial Kitchen.
Li Shengan acknowledged with a response and hastily sent Little Zhuzi on the errand.
Watching Little Zhuzi's retreating figure running quickly, Li Shengan heaved a deep sigh.
Although Lady Xia's status isn't high, her place in the Emperor's heart is truly not low! That day, outside the palace, the Emperor was busy all day. Nearing dusk, he even took the Seventh Prince hunting, all for a deer. Now it looks like it was specially for Lady Xia?
After a short while, Little Zhuzi came back.
