"I'll call Zi Yue to have it delivered right away!"
With that, she quickened her pace, her slender legs carrying her small, pregnant form swiftly out the door.
Zhao Junyao rubbed his forehead.
Qingqing, can't you slow down a bit? She really isn't afraid of any danger!
After the items were delivered, the Small Imperial Kitchen was quick to act. They managed to prepare eggplants in three different flavors, no less delicious than the dishes from the Grand Imperial Kitchen. Each dish was served on a small plate.
Li Shengan then said with a smile, "The chefs mentioned that it's been a long time since Xia Jieyu came to Zhaochen Palace for a meal, so they made two extra flavors. It's not much, just for you to try!"
Xia Ruqing looked at the eggplant dishes on the plates and was very pleased. There was steamed eggplant with minced garlic, fish-flavored eggplant, and braised eggplant. She tasted each one, and her eyes shimmered with delight.
