Chapter 159 Love Collided

"Brother, the barbecue is ready."

Soon, Tan Qingyun brought a plate of barbecue in front of Lu Changjing.

These barbecues are made of the flesh and blood of monsters and demons above level ten. Although there are not as many seasonings as in the previous life, the deliciousness alone is enough to make people salivate.

Lu Changjing smiled and sat on the blanket. He picked up a string of monster pork and tasted it. It was fat but not greasy, and the taste was excellent. It was more delicious than any barbecue he had eaten in his previous life.

It can also nourish the body and help with body training.

"Delicious!"

Lu Changjing exclaimed. He is worthy of being a royal chef. Even if he has never made barbecue before, he can make it quickly.

It seems that he has practiced before, otherwise the taste would not be so good, and there are almost no flaws.

Seeing that Lu Changjing liked it, Tan Qingyun smiled and fed him a mouthful of spiritual grapes: "Brother, try this. I specially asked someone to buy the flame grapes from the Flame Country. Compared with other grapes, they have a unique flavor."

"So sweet." Lu Changjing leaned over and bit off the flame grape. The juice quickly burst in his mouth, with a fiery breath, and the taste was quite wonderful.

Lu Changjing also picked up a string of barbecued meat and fed it to Tan Qingyun's pink lips: "You should also try the barbecued meat. It is definitely unique."

Tan Qingyun started eating from Lu Changjing's hand, and soon her bright eyes narrowed with satisfaction: "Brother is so amazing. He actually knows so many delicacies."

A moment later, there were more demon kidneys, wings, spiritual vegetables... roasted, and a copper furnace hot pot was placed in front of the two.

Lu Changjing and Tan Qingyun feasted on the food, and they ate quite happily. From time to time, they fed each other imported food and wine. The taste was really enjoyable.

However, the naughty Tan Baobao was always restless. There were so many people around him, but he deliberately dropped the spiritual grapes into his collar, forcing Lu Changjing to look for them.

Fortunately, the imperial chefs and palace maids around were quite tactful. When they saw the emperor and his beloved concubine looking for grapes, they turned their backs and did not dare to look at them.

The imperial garden was full of palace maids and eunuchs. Even the guards were female guards, or in other words, the guards in the palace were basically female guards. There were almost no male guards, and they were all arranged in places where they could not spy on the privacy of the emperor and concubines.

This was naturally done to avoid any entanglement between the male guards and the women in the palace. After all, in the harem, whether it was concubines, beauties, beautiful women, palace maids, female guards... all belonged to His Majesty the Emperor. If anyone dared to touch them, they would be courting death.

Whether for the sake of the cleanliness of the harem or for the lives of these male guards, they would not be allowed to get too close to the places where the women in the harem were active.

Even the number of eunuchs is not large. After all, this is a world with extraordinary power. Many things do not need eunuchs and men to do, and women can handle them.

Guards, escorts, royal chefs, gardeners... these female warriors are fully capable of doing these things, unlike the ancient times in the previous life, where many jobs can only be done by men or need eunuchs to do them.

The women in this world are not inferior to men at all. In the Jianghu, you can often see many strong women who marry multiple concubines.

"Brother, Bao Bao didn't mean it. Don't look for it again. Bao Bao doesn't dare to do it anymore."

Facing Lu Changjing's hand and mouth attack, Tan Bao Bao soon couldn't stand it and began to beg for mercy.

And she really didn't mean it just now, but she was used to doing it before, and accidentally dropped a spiritual grape into her collar.

Originally wanted to take it out immediately, but it was too late, Lu Changjing had already pounced on her.

At this time, Lu Changjing also realized that although Tan Baobao was a little naughty, he was not so out of line that he actually did such a thing in front of more than a dozen female imperial chefs and palace maids.

He had no choice but to smile bitterly, take the spiritual grape, and continue to be a qualified emperor, enjoying this barbecue and hot pot meal, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden.

While the emperor and Concubine Zhen Baobao were enjoying the first meal of spring and the scenery of the imperial garden, the imperial concubine Rong Xiyao and the concubine Tang Qingyi were walking in the blooming imperial garden with a group of sisters, also enjoying the fun of outing.

"Every spring, the Imperial Garden is full of flowers, which is really beautiful. Even compared with the magnificent scenery of Baihua Mountain in the southwest, it is not inferior in the slightest."

"Baihua Mountain is famous in Daning. Many of the exotic flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden were transplanted from there. It's a pity that I have never had the chance to go there. If I have the chance in the future, I can go with Sister Rong to see it."

"I heard that the Imperial Garden was more beautiful before, but because there were not enough resources to take care of some rare and exotic flowers and plants, these exotic flowers and plants withered. It's a pity."

"Your Majesty doesn't even have money for disaster relief. He can only sell the royal property. How can he have money to take care of the Imperial Garden."

...

As he talked, he talked about Lu Changjing, which was also of interest to many concubines and was particularly concerned about.

"Your Majesty has been practicing harder these days. I have hardly seen him step out of the imperial study. I don't know when he will be able to complete the practice of Cang Yang Shu and then he can rest for a while."

"I heard that Your Majesty rests for less than an hour every day in order to improve his practice. It's really too hard. He doesn't even have time to go outing. It's really sad to think about it."

"I went to see Your Majesty a few days ago, but Your Majesty was still in seclusion practicing and didn't even know that spring had arrived. I feel so sorry for Your Majesty."

"When I think of your majesty still practicing in the imperial study, I have no mood to play, and I don't know when it will end."

...

Just when a group of concubines said this, they heard the familiar voice of the emperor not far away: "Listen, baby, since you want to hear poetry, then brother will recite a poem for you now, so that you can see my literary talent."

"This poem is called Tanhua, Tan is Tan Fei Tan, and Hua is the flower that is more beautiful than flowers. Peach blossoms compete for red and deep, and plum blossoms are light white and bloom by themselves. The sun is green and astringent, and this morning the broken jade is scattered high. The warm wind helps more flowers bloom, and the remaining gloomy flowers are still few. The sky is clear and there is no worry that it will not be blooming, and the flowers will be old when they bloom later."

As soon as the words fell, Tan Qingyun clapped his hands repeatedly: "Good poem, good poem, brother is so amazing, this poem is really good, thank you brother for writing a poem for me."

The surrounding imperial chefs and palace maids also applauded repeatedly, and were deeply impressed by the emperor's poem.

"Your Majesty is so talented in writing, why not write another one."

"This is the best poem I have ever heard. Your Majesty's poem is truly a masterpiece that will be remembered for ages."

"Your Majesty's poem is simply the best among poems about flowers. There has never been a better poem about flowers before, and there will never be a better one in the future."
