Chapter 337: Married woman sitting at the same table with me!
When Ye Chen saw Mo Rou again, his gaze stopped on her.
Tall, slim and mature.
Even if it is just a piece of cloth, it is particularly tasteful.
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth rose slightly.
Even the concubines in his harem did not have this strong smell of a woman.
"Mo Rou, are you cooking fish?"
Ye Chen walked forward and asked.
Mo Rou, who was putting seasoning into the pot, shuddered all over and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her delicate face.
She suddenly looked up and looked at Ye Chen in shock.
And then, she saw the clothes on Ye Chen.
The bright colors and the five-clawed golden dragon on the clothes.
Even though Mo Rou was just a commoner girl, she still had some knowledge and naturally recognized the dragon robe.
Immediately, Mo Rou's legs went limp and she was about to kneel on the ground.
However, the next moment, a pair of warm big hands suddenly supported her.
"No need to be so polite."
Ye Chen had a smile on his face and his tone was very gentle.
"Master Ye, are you a prince or an emperor?"
Mo Rou's lips trembled slightly. Whether it was a prince or an emperor, they were definitely not something a commoner like her could achieve.
The disparity in status is really too great.
"Ok?"
Ye Chen also noticed what he was wearing at this moment, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
He was so eager to see who was cooking the fish that he forgot to change his clothes.
"Mo Rou, you misunderstood. The clothes I'm wearing were specially given by the Emperor."
Ye Chen still didn't want to scare Mo Rou, and if Mo Rou really knew his identity, she would definitely seem alienated when interacting with him in the future.
He doesn't like this feeling.
This is very boring.
"Oh, really, really?"
Mo Rou was quite suspicious, but asked in a low voice.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can ask my colleagues."
Hearing this, Mo Rou looked at the imperial guards behind Ye Chen.
"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right!"
"Miss Mo, the master did not lie to you."
"The commander-in-chief is the emperor's trusted confidant!"
The imperial guards behind Ye Chen are all worthy of being movie stars.
Seeing this, Mo Rou couldn't find any flaws, so she had to believe it.
"Mo Rou, what on earth are you cooking?"
Ye Chen looked into the pot curiously.
"Sir, I cooked fish soup."
Mo Rouze replied.
"Fish soup, Mo Rou, is it because someone in the palace treated you badly that you had to cook it yourself?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked.
"No, sir, the palace people have not treated me badly. They send me food every day. It's just that I'm too far away from where they send the food. When it's delivered, a lot of the food is cold. And it's hard for the sirs in the palace to send me food every day."
"I thought it would be better to ask those people to send fresh ingredients, and I would keep them and cook for a few days at a time. This way, it wouldn't cause any trouble for others, and it would still taste good."
"Because of my insistence, the palace officials agreed. Even the stove was set up for me by the palace staff."
Mo Rou smiled a little embarrassedly. He was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the people in the palace working so hard to bring her food.
"Ah."
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
He also had a stronger liking for Mo Rou.
She is definitely a qualified good wife and mother. If such a woman were to live in later generations, the people chasing her would line up for several streets.
"Mo Rou, are you cooking too much?"
"A lot. These fish usually weigh three or four pounds. If we don't use them quickly to cook, they will go bad. Tong'er and I can't finish them all. Sir, have you eaten yet?"
Mo Rou asked.
"I haven't eaten yet."
Ye Chen smiled slightly. He really wanted to taste Mo Rou's cooking skills. After all, the smell of fish soup wafting from the pot brought back memories of West Lake vinegar fish in later generations.
Moreover, it did not have the earthy smell of the West Lake vinegar fish he had eaten.
This made him want to try it.
After all, he himself didn't know how to cook West Lake Vinegar Fish, and the dishes he instructed the imperial chef to make were just ordinary dishes in later generations that didn't require high craftsmanship.
If you eat too much of this kind of food, you will eventually need to change your taste.
"Sir, the fish soup is almost ready. Please sit down for a while."
Mo Rou led Ye Chen to sit on a stone bench nearby.
The stone benches and stone tables in the yard were originally there, but they had obviously been wiped many times by Mo Rou. The surface of the stone table was so shiny that it could be used as a mirror.
"By the way, where is Miss Tong?"
Ye Chen suddenly asked with some doubts.
"Your Majesty, Tong'er has been enjoying going to the imperial kitchen lately, saying he wants to learn some cooking skills. However, he's always been blocked by someone, not allowed to peek. So far, he hasn't learned anything."
Mo Rou covered her mouth and smiled. She knew where Tong Le had gone.
Moreover, the imperial kitchen is divided into many areas.
There are also special chefs to cook for the cold palace.
Tong Le definitely could not see the core area of the imperial kitchen. Even the place where food was cooked for the cold palace was not accessible to Tong Le.
Tong Le repeatedly said that he would never trespass and was just trying to peek.
And no matter where Tong Le went, there would always be soldiers of the imperial guards following him.
Therefore, Mo Rou is still very confident about Tong Le's safety.
"Looking at the time, Tong'er should be back soon."
"Oh."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, and saw Mo Rou rolled up her sleeves and began to scoop fish soup from the pot.
When he bent down to do something, his body outlined a clear arc. It was really a small branch with great results. Ye Chen couldn't help but look at it carefully.
After a large bowl of fish soup was served, Mo Rou brought a bowl of millet rice and a large pot of rapeseed soup.
"Sir, you eat first."
"My cooking skills are not as good as those in the palace. If it's not tasty, I hope you will forgive me."
Mo Rou felt a little embarrassed and twisted her fingers.
"That's fine, that's fine. I can wait a little longer and eat when everyone is here."
Ye Chen smiled and pointed to the seat next to him.
"Mo Rou, come and sit with me."
"Ah, this, I dare not."
"There's nothing to be afraid of. I don't care about all the formalities. Please sit down quickly, or I won't be happy."
Hearing this, Mo Rou felt uneasy, but she finally sat down.
