Imperial Doctor Zhang has ordered that you mustn’t decide on your own!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing smiled helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go ahead and ask!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lamb, being red meat and warm in nature, yet not too greasy, should definitely be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still had this bit of confidence in herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Zi Yue made a trip and returned smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Imperial Doctor Zhang said you can eat it, and he’s written several diet recipes. I’ll send these to the Imperial Kitchen to have them prepared right away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing was thoroughly satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Zi Yue had left, she stretched lazily in bed and sighed contentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having my Emperor husband in the palace feels so good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one to bully me, and I’m back to living like a freeloader!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just... so comfy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she thought this, she quietly rejoiced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a good thing I’ve managed to cling to this powerful backer. Otherwise... if someone else had latched onto him, I’d be in a terrible state!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was pondering, the babies in the nearby cradles began to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children are like that—one starts crying, and the other is prone to follow suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the two babies were outdoing each other in wailing volume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wetnurse nanny quickly came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying her respects to Xia Ruqing, she quickly picked up one child in each arm and carried them out to be fed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing didn’t even have to move a lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being stunned for a moment, she turned over and muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In modern times, I often heard people complain about how hard it is to raise children! Actually... it seems quite simple! Then again, of course! With a team of over a dozen nannies at my disposal, taking care of all the babies’ needs from eating and drinking to peeing and pooping, how could it not be worry-free?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing once again realized the power of wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were modern times, and I was the only one looking after the kids, then... Ugh... I couldn’t even begin to imagine how hectic I would be. Thinking it over, I still felt fortunate. Thank goodness this is ancient times! Sigh, I’m really so easily satisfied!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She indulged in her random thoughts for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mutton was served.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Kitchen had cooked clear stewed mutton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow they had managed to stew the mutton until it was tender and flavorful, without a hint of gamey smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing was very pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ate two small bowls of meat with her rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she was about to eat a third bowl, Zi Yue stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, please slow down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you wait a bit? If you really want more, I can add another bowl for you after you wake up from your nap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing thought about it and agreed, so she put down her chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, she tidied up and prepared to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she wasn’t sleepy, but she wasn’t troubled by any worries either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying in bed and reading for a while, she began to feel sleepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon, she slept soundly for over two Shi Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she woke up, her stomach felt empty and was growling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing her face, she grew somewhat impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zi Yue, where’s my mutton?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yue quickly came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll have Xiao Xizi warm it up right away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because her body was weak, she found she couldn’t bear to be hungry at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yue acknowledged her command and hurried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she left the room, a little palace maid rushed towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bumped right into Zi Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OUCH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Who is that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both fell to the ground after bumping their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little palace maid was the first to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, Sister Zi Yue, what’s the rush?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yue, recognizing her as a newcomer from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let her guard down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brushing the dust off her clothes, she quickly stood up and said, \"I’m preparing food for my master; you should be more careful when walking in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little palace maid hastily acknowledged the rebuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will take to heart Sister Zi Yue’s teaching!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, Sister Zi Yue, I work in the small tea room, where I saw Xiao Xizi making strong brown sugar water. If the master is hungry, why not have a bowl of that first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s well known that brown sugar water can stave off hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lightbulb went on in Zi Yue’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, eating so much mutton can cause heatiness! It’s better to drink a bowl of brown sugar water first to fill the stomach a bit, which would lessen the hunger and prevent eating too much. Good idea, yes, that’s the plan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zi Yue didn’t show her approval outwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared coldly at the little palace maid and said, \"You work in the small kitchen; you’d better mind your own business about the master’s affairs. If there’s a next time, I won’t be so forgiving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little palace maid quickly curtsied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! I will remember the lesson!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yue, no longer interested in speaking further, hurriedly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, a bowl of thick brown sugar water appeared on Xia Ruqing’s table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Shouldn’t it be mutton?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, mutton is warm in nature. Eating too much can cause heatiness, whereas brown sugar water is highly nutritious. Please have some to fill you up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brown sugar water?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something feels off...!\u003C\u002Fp>",1454,"2026-05-30T07:41:20.852Z","2026-06-01T04:30:40.316Z",1,"novelbin.me","1bb9f909c01369c01d1ec35a6273bc4dba8a28c6b497b5148e922947eb09a39b","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-753","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-751",1204,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-cover.jpg"]
