“I’m a bit hungry now.”
Li Hongyuan reached out to grab the wine pot and poured himself a cup.
“Your Highness really makes yourself at home.”
“This is my children’s grandparents’ house. Why would I feel like an outsider?”
“…Fine, then eat.”
“Did you cook all these dishes?” Li Hongyuan glanced at the few dishes on the table.
They certainly looked unique and he had never seen them before.
He suddenly remembered what his concubine mother had said.
Many people, including Emperor Father and Xiaoqian, had praised Jiang Ning’s cooking skills, saying that even the Imperial Chef from the Imperial Kitchen couldn’t match her taste.
It wasn’t just the taste; her methods were entirely different.
Such highly acclaimed culinary skills, and as her husband, he had never tasted them.
From this, it could be seen that Jiang Ning was indeed full of disdain and disgust for him.
Li Hongyuan drank half a cup of wine in one breath, picked up his chopsticks, clipped a piece of bright red fish and put it in his mouth.
“What is this?” he asked.
“Squirrel fish.”
“Squirrel?”
“Don’t worry about the details; it’s just a cooking method.” Jiang Ning’s cooking, while unremarkable in modern times, could be considered masterful in the eyes of these short-sighted ancient people.
From the moment he took his first bite, Li Hongyuan’s chopsticks barely stopped.
He was not a greedy person, but rather, he had a bit of a defiant attitude.
His concubine mother said she couldn’t eat Jiang Ning’s dishes, so he insisted on eating them.
He even had a feast.
In the end, he not only finished the dishes on the table but also all the wine.
The wine was brought by Jiang Yi, a strong liquor with a powerful aftertaste.
Li Hongyuan’s face was flushed, and he was clearly drunk and unable to walk.
The sky was already dark, and the wind and snow were strong and bone-chilling.
There was no way he could ride back on a horse in this state.
Jiang Ning called Xiaoman and two maids to help him to the front yard, where the housekeeper would arrange a guest room for him.
After making an elaborate feast, she hadn’t eaten much herself.
Fortunately, every day, Lin Zizi would have the kitchen prepare Bird’s Nest Porridge for her as a late-night nourishment.
After eating a bowl of porridge and checking on her children, Jiang Ning prepared for bed.
In the middle of the night, she vaguely sensed some movement outside.
Sitting up, she could faintly see a shadow.
Thinking of her children, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but put on a coat, pick up her cane by the bedside, and slowly shuffle to the door, carefully opening it.
A gust of wind blew in.
A tall figure stumbled in.
Jiang Ning was startled and instinctively backed away, but was caught by the person.
“You–”
Her voice was muffled as her mouth was covered.
Hot lips pressed tightly against hers.
Intoxicating alcohol filled her nostrils.
Jiang Ning was shocked and furious, struggling against the man, her cane falling to the ground.
Unable to support herself, she was tightly embraced.
She couldn’t exert any strength or make a sound; fear and anger intertwined in her heart.
The next moment, the man lifted her by her waist and placed her on the bed.
A low murmur reached her ear: “Jiang Ning, you damn woman…””
It was Li Hongyuan’s voice!
Jiang Ning was surprised, but her fear subsided somewhat. She raised her hands to push him away: “Your Highness, calm down!”
Li Hongyuan ignored her, pressing both her wrists above her head and kissing her deeply.
How could Jiang Ning’s strength compare to his?
Huang Ying and Xiaoman were not around, and even if she wanted to scream, she couldn’t. Her muffled cries of resistance were stifled by his mouth.
Though she had given birth, Jiang Ning had never really experienced such intimacy..
