A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 170 Medicinal Diet

"Father, Brother Junyang, you must not tell anyone else that we are here. Only those in this hall should know about it, to prevent the martial artists from investigating whether anyone has been to the Yongning Palace during this period of time. They may cause disaster to you in the future." Qiqi said.

Liu Junyang quickly went out and gathered everyone who knew about Qiqi and the others' arrival. He then asked Zhou Jingze to go and erase everyone's memories of the past period. When they woke up, it was as if they had just had a dream.

The eunuch chief shook his head, unable to recall what had happened yesterday. No one was allowed near Qiqi and the others' quarters. Liu Junyang took care of everything himself. He brought a large amount of beef, mutton, and vegetables from the imperial kitchen and delivered them to Qiqi and the others' quarters.

The old emperor was also chatting with Yun Jizi. He attended court on time every day, and afterward he would come to Qiqi and the others. He chatted with Qiqi, played chess with Yun Jizi, and watched Zhou Jingze and Liu Junyang practice.

Liu Junyang had also been practicing some magical techniques during this time, and was even able to fly with a sword. He was now learning the Lingbo Weibu technique. He had seen Zhou Jingze teleport to many places, and he was envious. He pestered Zhou Jingze to teach him.

Zhou Jingze knew that it would be better for him to learn on his own if he taught him proactively. His little trick succeeded. He chuckled secretly. "It's only when you beg me that you will learn with all your heart. I'm actively teaching you, but you still don't practice seriously."

These days, Zhou Jingze, eager to help Liu Junyang accelerate his training, would occasionally demonstrate other cultivation techniques in front of him. Envious, Liu Junyang became like a little follower, watching Zhou Jingze's practice intently and imitating him. Yun Jizi also praised his intelligence, and both of them were eager to teach Liu Junyang more cultivation techniques.

The old emperor was filled with joy as he watched his son progress so rapidly. He never asked Qiqi how many days she would stay in the imperial city, to avoid any sadness. He gifted Qiqi's baby with a large amount of gold jewelry and a piece of warm jade to her future daughter, as a gift to his niece. He also gave his nephew a sword. Qiqi saw that the sword had an extraordinary origin.

The old emperor told Qiqi that this sword was given to him by his master, and it was useful when he was young and traveling around. But after taking over the dynasty, he had no time to touch the sword. The sword was covered in dust.

When the old emperor learned that Qiqi was pregnant, he wiped the sword and waited for Qiqi to give it to her baby when she arrived.

The old emperor's martial arts skills were not low, and Liu Junyang's first enlightenment teacher was the old emperor. His master was a martial arts master. When Liu Junyang first took over the dynasty, his master came to protect him for several years. Seeing that the dynasty was stable, he left and traveled. To this day, he has no news of his master.

He wanted to find his master, but the dynasty couldn't exist without an emperor. The search was delayed. Liu Junyang was now eligible to inherit the throne, and he wanted him to follow Qiqi. The old emperor sensed that Qiqi was hiding something from them. He watched Yun Jizi and Jingze tirelessly teach Liu Junyang. He knew they might not have time to come again after this time. He taught Junyang all the cultivation techniques. He saw it all, but didn't question them. He knew Qiqi wouldn't tell him, fearing he'd worry.

"Thank you, father, for giving such a precious sword to your nephew. I would like to thank you on his behalf." Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, you and I are welcome to be polite."

It was noon, and Qiqi was making hot pot with the beef and mutton Junyang had brought. Master's wife sliced the beef and mutton and washed the vegetables. Qiqi then took out the seasonings from her space. There was a lot of charcoal in the bottom of the pot, and it was burning brightly.

Qiqi taught her father how to eat hot pot while Liu Junyang watched from the side.

The old emperor rinsed a piece of mutton with his chopsticks, dipped it in the seasoning, and put it in his mouth. The aroma of sesame paste, the flavor of the seasoning, and the freshness of the mutton all burst into his mouth. It was so delicious. The old emperor fell silent, chewing quickly, picked up another piece of mutton with his chopsticks, put it in the pot, and when it was cooked, put it in the bowl of seasoning. Then he ate it.

Liu Junyang wanted to ask his father if it tasted good. He knew what his father was eating from his expression and the way he ate. He followed his father's example and put the mutton in the pot for a few seconds. When the meat was cooked, he dipped it in the seasoning bowl and put it in his mouth.

"It's delicious, so delicious, Qiqi, you are so nice. This is the most delicious meal I have ever eaten in my life. Father, you used to only eat one bite of each dish, but this time you ate several bites. It's delicious, I will eat it again tomorrow." Liu Junyang said loudly.

The old emperor was reserved. Qiqi, understanding him, gave her father a few pieces of cooked beef and asked him to taste it.

"Qiqi, what you cooked is delicious. While you're here, make some more for Father that he hasn't eaten yet, so I can also enjoy a feast."

"Okay, Father, we'll grill some skewers tomorrow. You'll definitely like it."

Qiqi has been cooking medicinal food for her father these days to help him regulate his body, better absorb the medicinal effects of the elixir, and make his body stronger.

Today, I made him pork ribs and corn soup, which contains ginseng, angelica, astragalus, bupleurum, gorgon fruit, yam, poria, white atractylodes, etc., which strengthen the spleen, eliminate dampness and nourish the liver. Qiqi has also been giving her father acupuncture these past few days to eliminate the hidden illnesses in his body from his youth.

Qiqi knew in her heart that the old emperor was better than her biological parents. She didn't know why this happened.

I've been here for seven or eight days, but I just can't bring myself to leave. Let's eat kebabs today. Early in the morning, Liu Junyang had his guards take him to the market where cattle and sheep were slaughtered. He bought dozens of kilograms of mutton and beef. Qiqi was delighted to see so much meat.

"Brother Junyang, I'll let you eat grilled lamb skewers today. You won't be able to stop eating them. Believe it or not?" Qiqi teased.

The master's wife came over to help carve the mutton. Zhou Jingze and Liu Junyang washed the mutton and cut it into chunks. Qiqi was in charge of threading the skewers. Yun Jizi was chopping the lamb ribs and beef ribs into pieces. They were then cleaned and marinated. They were grilling or boiling the lamb chops, grilling or boiling the steaks. In ancient times, there were no refrigerators or freezers. Meat spoiled quickly. They used copious amounts of salt to cure the bacon.

When they were not looking, Qiqi put some beef and mutton into the space and placed them in the freezer and refrigerator of the supermarket.

Qiqi took out the barbecue ingredients. Zhou Jingze had already lit the charcoal on the grill. Qiqi brought the barbecue ingredients over. The lamb skewers were all placed on the grill.

The old emperor smelled the aroma of barbecue and came over. He couldn't wait to try the barbecue. Qiqi said the barbecue was delicious.

Liu Junyang cleaned the stone table and put cushions on the stone benches, fearing that Qiqi would get cold.

The nurse and Qiqi were skewering fish and shrimp. Qiqi had taken them out of the space. She told Liu Junyang that she had the secret guards buy them.

The old emperor didn't ask anything, he knew Qiqi was extraordinary and had many secrets.
