her identity without speaking the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she stammered and couldn’t explain clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she simply tossed her head and said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, anyway, this is a kind of flower specially used for brewing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This wine is called beer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you haven’t heard of it, just assume it’s something I invented myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing hugged his arm and smiled coyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao coughed lightly, feeling helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t mind, as long as you like it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he casually took the cup she handed over and took another sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, it seems... there’s something about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a second sip because, after the first taste, there was a hint of sweetness lingering in the aftertaste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like Qingqing said, bitter first and then sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very different from the usually spicy wines he drank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second time, it was still bitter at first, but it seemed his palate was adjusting, not as bitter as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the sweetness was even richer, making it hard to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he tried a third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One sip after another, and soon the small cup of wine was finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao looked at the empty cup in his hand, his eyes full of incredulity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I never thought I’d like this so much?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s like he adapted instantly!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it be that there really is something called beer in this world?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingqing, did you grow this flower?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could be a hundred percent sure he hadn’t heard of or seen this flower before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t grow it, it’s a kind of traditional Chinese medicine called Fragrant Snake Hemp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw it in an ancient prescription, so I had someone pack some dried flowers to try, and it worked!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Xia Ruqing spoke, the quieter her voice became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt guilty — if she hadn’t worked in a Chinese medicine shop in the modern times, how would she know such an odd name for a traditional medicine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for brewing wine, she was just idly experimenting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had been a small brewery in town that brewed beer, and she had somewhat learned some of the steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But understanding doesn’t mean having the conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, things like vacuum compression and carbonation require professional equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had nothing but a few wine jars at hand, so she didn’t have much hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the taste turned out quite passable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it couldn’t compare to modern beer, she was already very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao smiled and praised it as not bad, and wanted another cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing quickly stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, overindulgence isn’t good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve been drinking a lot at the banquets these past few days, better to drink less!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how worried she was about him, Zhao Junyao felt a warm happiness in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, let’s not drink anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that she wouldn’t let him drink, she just didn’t trust her own skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If something happened to the Emperor because of it, what would she do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t afford to lose her life over this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, you should have tea instead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, she called someone to clear the dishes and personally poured him a cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao smiled as he sipped the tea, and breakfast was finally over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the nice weather outside, Xia Ruqing wanted to go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Junyao stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not well, it’s cold outside, better not go out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With winter almost over, catching a cold would be troubling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing was still somewhat reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sun is so nice, it shouldn’t be too cold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t believe me, try it?\" Zhao Junyao raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened the window by the bed and reached out her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of northwest wind blew by, chilling her fingertips to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dull ache spread through her bones and lingered for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly withdrew her hand and closed the window tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect it to be so cold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said this, a cold wind sneaked down her neck, raising goosebumps all over her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t go out, better stay inside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, she quickly snuggled back under the covers on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s better if I just stay put!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao seemed to have expected this, smiling gently without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up his tea to drink again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted idly, discussing the Lantern Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing was very much looking forward to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been a long time since I’ve been out of the palace, why not take Yue Er out this year!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao pondered for a moment and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This girl hasn’t been out since she was born!\" It’s good for the precious daughter to see the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing was very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows how gleeful the girl will be when she finds out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl was quite spoiled and couldn’t stay indoors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter the ice and snow, or the cold and freezing weather of this long winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room never seemed to hold her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day she found ways to sneak out at least once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the New Year, her brothers returned to accompany her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl was even more adventurous, playing wildly in the Imperial Garden with Yellow Bean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not showing herself for the entire day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Chenchen was older and reliable, with a trusted wetnurse and Sister accompanying her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, she would never rest assured!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao laughed and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yue Er is my legitimate daughter, naturally different from the rest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princesses from concubines could be less grand, but the legitimate princess must not be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were like ordinary women, only knowing the virtues of managing a husband and teaching children, wouldn’t it be a waste of her birth in the Imperial family? It would give the world a reason to laugh at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, I get it!\" Xia Ruqing pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just worried about her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s my only daughter; I’d be heartbroken if anything happened to her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao was exasperated but amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, I will protect her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one can lay a finger on her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s true; unless someone doesn’t want to live, who would dare touch the Emperor’s precious gem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly they heard giggles from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Yue Er came running in, laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, Mother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, the little girl saw her Father too, and immediately ran into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao, caught off guard, put down his cup and was enveloped in a warm hug from his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, he saw the little girl’s clothes were wet, and her nose and cheeks were red from the cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pretended to be serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er wasn’t scared at all, proudly saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I brought Yellow Bean to the Imperial Garden!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, all the flowers in the Imperial Garden have bloomed, I liked them so much I stayed a bit longer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl sniffled as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wetnurse and Sister quickly helped her wipe her nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er eagerly pointed at Yellow Bean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, Mother, look, these are flowers I picked from the Imperial Garden!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following her little pointing hand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao and Xia Ruqing immediately saw Yellow Bean with a few pitiful little yellow flowers in its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaves were mostly chewed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little yellow flowers were soaked with dog saliva, dripping wet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short... the fate of these flowers was quite tragic.\u003C\u002Fp>",1280,"2026-05-30T07:41:33.085Z","2026-06-01T04:30:40.316Z",1,"novelbin.me","636881fec40f56286edea8ba4e49b1dd58bd3dd0ecd317dac573d7eec6f52773","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1177","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1176",1204,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-cover.jpg"]
