Li Xiaoran glanced at Luo Cheng and looked at him inquiringly.

One had to know that many high-ranking officials and nobles in the government didn’t eat pork. Generally, the only people who ate pork were commoners.

Moreover, most of the ingredients used to make braised dishes were pig guts. In the modern era, even the commoners despised these things.

What if the emperor couldn’t take the truth and vomited?

After Luo Cheng received Li Xiaoran’s pleading look, he put down the bowl and chopsticks.

“This is pig ears, this is pig mouth, this is pig liver, this is pig heart and lungs, and this is pig intestine…”

When the emperor heard Luo Chengs introduction, he was stunned for a moment before he continued to eat without changing his expression.

“No wonder you didn’t answer my question. Are you afraid that I won’t be able to eat it after knowing what the ingredients are? Hmph, you’ve underestimated me! I’m someone who has suffered ordeals back then. It’s just some pig

internal organs. As long as they can fill my stomach, I can eat them!”

Actually, there was something the emperor didn’t say. To be able to make those internal organs so delicious, it was no wonder that this girl had previously boasted that she was a foodie expert.

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at his son, Luo Cheng. “You like these things too?”

Luo Cheng knew what the emperor was asking and nodded.

“Before I met my wife, I didn’t even get to eat these things! It was only after I met Xiaoran that started to enjoy such delicious food!”

For some reason, the emperor suddenly envied his son.

How lucky was he to be able to enjoy such delicious food every day?!

Suddenly, the emperor despised his son.

His son was lucky to have met such a good wife.

“Then you have to treat her well!” For some reason, the emperor suddenly changed his attitude. It was as if Luo Cheng wasn’t his son, but was Li Xiaoran’s elder instead. “Tell me, what sort of husband are you? Why don’t you buy some good clothes and beautiful jewelry for your wife? In the capital, those noblewomen are all very spendthrift. Other people are willing to spend money on their wives, but as a prince, why are you so stingy?”

When Li Xiaoran heard the emperor’s words, her eyes widened.

She had not misheard. The emperor was actually defending her!

When Luo Cheng heard the reprimand, he immediately rolled his eyes disapprovingly.

“Father, do you think I’m like you? Am I an irresponsible womanizer? Don’t treat Xiaoran like those noblewomen in the capital. Li Xiaoran is extraordinary! She likes simple outfits. Firstly, she won’t let herself suffer, and secondly, she won’t cause trouble by showing off too much.”

When the emperor heard this, he was enraged.

“That’s because you don’t have the ability to protect your own wife!”

When Luo Cheng heard this, his expression darkened and he immediately retorted, “You make it sound like you have the ability to protect your own wife? Father, think about how many women who have been doted on by you in the palace have died. Instead of reflecting on yourself, you despise me for not protecting my people well. I advise you to reflect on yourself first!”

“Not only did you talk back to me, but you also exposed my sorespot!” The emperor was so angry that his beard was trembling.

“You exposed my sorespot first. Double standards? Father, don’t blame me for returning the favor!” Luo Cheng retorted.

The two of them started arguing.

When Xiao Dezi, who was eating, saw this, he quickly went forward to stop the argument, but Li Xiaoran stopped him.

“This is what father and son should be like! How can a father never be angry with his son?! Let’s ignore them and just eat. Don’t disturb the communication between the father and son!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

When the others heard Li Xiaoran’s words and saw that the father and son had begun to bang on the table while arguing in a childish manner, they were enlightened and quickly left to eat elsewhere.

Li Xiaoran was full at this moment. Seeing that the father and son were arguing, she simply went to the kitchen to prepare some tea and drinks.

After making a pot of sweet tea with lemon and honey, Li Xiaoran poured herself a cup. Then, she sat in a chair and drank it while watching the father and son argue with relish.

Before long, the childish father and son’s mouths were dry from the quarreling, so Li Xiaoran sent two cups of lemon honey tea to them at the right time.

They instantly felt much better after drinking this glass of lemon honey tea.

“What’s this drink? It tastes very good!” The emperor asked after drinking it in one go.

‘The method of making boney lemon water is actually very simple_ You can slice the lemon directly, remove the seeds inside, and pour honey in to soak. When you need to drink it, you can soak it in warm water or cold water. In this warm weather, it tastes better when its soaked in cold water!” Li Xiaoran smiled as she told him how to make honey lemon water.

The emperor froze for a moment, then asked, “It’S that simple?”

The emperor froze for a moment, then asked, “It’s that simple?”

“Is there a need for it to be so complicated? In terms of food, the simpler it is, the better you can enjoy the original taste of the food! Some people like the refreshing taste of mint, so you can also soak mint in this water. The taste will be different!” Li Xiaoran nodded as she said.

Li Xiaoran’s words enlightened the emperor.

Thinking of what he had been struggling to deal with in the palace for a long time recently, he suddenly had an idea.

“That’s right. The original taste of food needs to be brought out in a simple way!” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the thought of this, the emperor laughed heartily.

“You’re indeed very smart! You easily solved the problem that has been bothering me for a long time!”

With that, the emperor reached out and patted Luo Cheng’s shoulder happily.

“You’re luckier than me! Treat this girl well! If only I had met a woman as good as Li Xiaoran back then! You’re really lucky!”

With that, the emperor waved his hand to summon Xiao Dezi and strode away. The emperor came and left so suddenly that Li Xiaoran was baffled.

“What’s wrong with him?”

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran with amusement in his eyes.

“You were like a god in the sky that day!”
