Without needing Luo Cheng to call him, the emperor followed the aroma and headed towards the inner residence.

When Zi Cheng heard that Luo Cheng was back, he quickly ran out and whispered that Yan Xiaoqiao had come to the residence to find trouble today and was ordered to be thrown out by Li Xiaoran.

“Young Master, you didn’t see how decisive Madam was today!” Zi Cheng didn’t forget to add.

Luo Cheng glanced at Zi Cheng and said with a smile, “Xiaoran protected you guys, so you guys have to protect her too! Don’t worry! How could I blame my beloved?! Besides, I think Xiaoran did a good job. As expected of my wife!”

With that, Luo Cheng chased after the emperor and appeared in front of Li Xiaoran before he could.

“Husband, you’re back? My roasted meat is ready, so you came back at the right time. Let’s eat together!” When Li Xiaoran saw Luo Cheng, she smiled as she walked over with a skewer of roasted meat.

A smile appeared on Luo Cheng’s face. When Li Xiaoran handed over the skewer, he opened his mouth.

Luo Cheng bit a skewer of meat off the bamboo stick. As he ate it, his mouth was filled with the taste of the delicious meat.

“You’re getting better and better at roasting meat!” Luo Cheng praised as he ate.

“Cough! Cough!” At this moment, a cough sounded.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, who had been acting lovey-dovey, came back to their senses.

After Li Xiaoran looked behind Luo Cheng, she immediately saw the emperor, who had a teasing expression on his face.

“Why are you here?”

“Why? I can’t come to this place?” the emperor asked.

“Yes, yes! The world belongs to the emperor, so this is your territory. You can go anywhere you want!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

“In that case, I can eat this food too?” the emperor teased.

“Yes, but it’s better for you to eat less of it! After all, eating too much of this kind of thing is not beneficial to your health!” Li Xiaoran explained with a smile.

“I haven’t even eaten yet but you’re already despising me for eating too much!” The emperor walked to the grill unhappily and picked up a skewer of roasted meat.

It had to be said that the skewers tasted delicious!

Seeing this, Luo Cheng smiled and pulled Li Xiaoran to sit down.

After that, the three of them ate together.

There were also many ways to eat roasted meat.

Meat could be skewered or roasted on a roasting net. They could also be roasted on an iron plate as well.

There were three ways to eat it and it gave them three different experiences.

Most importantly, when Li Xiaoran saw that the emperor was eating with relish, she encouraged him to try putting garlic slices in the cabbage leaves and wrapping them with meat.

Despite being an emperor, he was a foodie.

This way of eating roasted meat won over the emperor.

After eating his fill, the emperor stopped and said happily, “No wonder you said that you’re a foodie. You weren’t bragging!”

Over the years, he had been busy with government affairs and had rarely been able to enjoy delicious food.

The food made by the imperial chefs was very delicious, but after tasting the same food for decades, even the emperor, who wasn’t a foodie, got sick of it.

Every time he thought about how his officials could enter and leave various restaurants in the capital and eat all kinds of delicious food, the emperor was very envious.

It was also for this reason that the emperor would occasionally sneak out of the palace with Xiao Dezi to try the delicacies that others talked about.

However, after eating so much food outside the palace, only the food made by his seventh son’s wife was the most to his liking.

Luo Cheng was young and strong, so even after the emperor was stuffed, he was only half full.

Li Xiaoran was almost done eating, so she roasted more meat for Luo Cheng.

When the skewer of roasted meat in her hand was ready, Li Xiaoran immediately saw the tofu not far away.

“Sigh, how could I have forgotten that there’s a large piece of tofu here?! You have to know that the taste of roasted tofu is the best!” Li Xiaoran said as she brought the tofu over. “There are many ways to eat tofu, but roasted tofu tastes very delicious. When it’s fried on an iron plate, it’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I guarantee you guys will like it!”

Li Xiaoran took a knife and quickly cut the tofu into pieces.

Half of the tofu was roasted on the griddle, and the other half was fried on a hot plate.

As Li Xiaoran kept flipping the tofu and scattering various condiments, the unique fragrance of tofu wafted out.

The emperor had great self-control, but after smelling the aroma of roasted tofu, he suddenly felt that he could eat a few more mouthfuls.

Luo Cheng also stared at the food in Li Xiaoran’s hand and planned to eat some later.

Soon, the roasted tofu and fried tofu were ready.

The emperor and Luo Cheng each got a share. Li Xiaoran started eating her share.

Because it was a little hot, Luo Cheng waited after taking a bite.

As the saying went, more haste less speed meant less speed, so it was best to wait.

“Why aren’t you eating?” When the emperor saw that his son was sitting there without eating, he thought that he was full already.

“There’s a saying in Sichuan that says more haste less speed! I plan to leave it there and eat it when it cools down, so it won’t burn my mouth!” Luo Cheng replied.

When the emperor heard this, he quickly put down the roasted tofu in his hand and waited for it to cool down before eating it.

While waiting, Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran.

“Li Xiaoran, you did very well today! The next time I leave the residence and any ignorant people barge in, you can get someone to throw those people out like today!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately smiled.

“Husband, don’t worry! I’m not someone who suffers in silence! The people outside think that I’m easy to bully just because I’m from the countryside!

Little do they know that I, Li Xiaoran, can deal with them with my own brains! Just wait and see. Some people are going to suffer!”

When the emperor heard their conversation, he immediately remembered something.

Previously, when Zi Cheng reported to Luo Cheng, the emperor had actually heard their conversation.
