Loving the Naughty Empress

Chapter 23 - The Jealousy Part 1



Ni Qing told everyone to gather for their food. The kitchen crew is going to serve the food for the soldier in the barrack. Their face is smiling happily to see their goddess cooking for their dinner. At least, they will have homemade food for dinner tonight.

The king of Bai Lan and his subordinates are sitting in the common tent with Jin Yu and the others. Ni Qing is coming with an apron on her waist and sits down on her usual table in between Jin Yu and Lin Yue. Eunuch Li is coming inside the room to serve the food with Eunuch Wang. Xiao Nie is handing the baby to Ni Qing before she serves the food. Ni Qing is feeding the baby some plain porridge. He is cooing happily on her lap and playing with her chest clothes material.

Jin Yu sees the view in front of him and it makes him jealous of the small baby action. He promises himself not going to share her with their son yet. She can have the baby in the future, but she needs to spend more time with him. He wants to replace their missing time together by a stupid mistake. She is the daughter of concubine and not the first daughter of Ni.

In the tent, Ni Qing is making no soldier near the tent except Wang Bo and trusted subordinate by Lin Yue and Ni Qing. She needs them to reach out to the treaty again and demolish Yu Tian. She believes with her black-bellied emperor, he will able to defeat Yu Tian.

"Your highness Yu Hong, I am apologizing for my impudent act to make you some porridge instead of rice. I believe you still need to recuperate, and porridge will be the best option. However, there is still accompanied dishes and some dessert later," Ni Qing is telling him politely.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I feel indebted to your country for all the trouble that created by my brother," King Yu Hong is clasping his hand together to tell his gratitude.

"It is my duty as the subject of the Emperor of Dayu Kingdom…" Ni Qing is bowing her head to accept it. Meanwhile, she is going to Lin Yue table to move the radish pickles when he almost put them to his mouth.

"Carry this baby… I am hungry," Ni Qing is handing the baby to Lin Yue, and give the radish pickle plate to Xiao Nie. Jin Yu is looking at every detail of her acts toward Lin Yue. Meanwhile, Lin Yue is carrying the baby with his left hand while he eats with his right hand.

"What is your plan, Yu Hong?" Jin Yu is asking the King of Bai Lan. He does not have any appetite to eat his food to see Ni Qing and Lin Yue.

"Jin Yu… I want to use your hand to defeat my brother… I believe all my general will not support his crazy idea to expand our territory… As our treaty, war is never good for both sides. We are better off having economic cooperation rather than war to take over the territory. What is in your mind?" Yu Hong is busy eating his food. As expected, Yu Hong already hears about Ni Qing reputation from the Dayu Kingdom. Many kingdoms want her as their empress, and he can find the reason for her reputation. Ni Qing is a beautiful, smart, good heart and a good cook. If he has the chance, he will ask her hand to become the Empress of Bai Lan kingdom later on.

"I will think about the strategy with Ni Qing. Later, I need you to come to my tent and we need to discuss the plan," Jin Yu is instructing her to come to his tent.

"Do you need general Lin Yue to come also, your highness?" Ni Qing looks at him.

"No Need… I have something else to talk with you about to confirm my idea. We can invite him after all the idea has been tested with you," Jin Yu is getting his forehead crest up because of her idea.

"Your Highness, you are not touching the food cook by Miss Ni. Do you want me to tell Eunuch Li to cook you something else?" Eunuch Wang is asking his master when he realizes that the food still intact in front of him.

"Ah… I am sorry if my cooking is too humble for your majesty liking. Xiao Nie, take all the food from His Majesty Emperor table, so Eunuch Li can serve him another food," Ni Qing told to her loyal servant.

Jin Yu stops her servant to get the food rather than pick up his chopstick. Eunuch Wang is assisting his majesty to put the food in his bowl. Jin Yu put it to his mouth and feel the warmth and love of home cooking. He understands the soldier reason to ask her to cook. She is really put her soul and heart into her cooking. Jin Yu stops his eunuch and scoop all the food until it finished. It has been a long time since his mother died, he tastes such delicious food.

The servant comes and serves some dessert to them while Xiao Nie is serving the Bai Lan king and his subordinates the concoction and the candies. Jin Yu is looking at the candy and pout his mouth. There is some concoction for Lin Yue and Ni Sheng which also get the plate of candies.

"Why everyone in here got candy and I do not get any? I want the caramel candy," Jin Yu is telling his Eunuch about the different treatment for the dessert serves. Eunuch Wang asks Eunuch Li to get a plate of candies for his majesty which straight away answered with the finish and no more candy available. The soldier who drinks the cold concoction from Ni Qing finish all the candy. It is the way for them to get the delicious candy even though the cold concoction is really bitter and not tasty.
