Chen Yi found a way to ask Wu Tuaner to send someone to inform his entourage, Chen Ming, Chen Liang and others who were waiting outside the palace, and told them that he would stay in the palace tonight and could not go back, so that they would not have to wait, and they would go back and rest first, and wait for news to be outside the palace tomorrow.

This is something that happens frequently. Many times, officials are summoned by Empress Li Zhi or Empress Wu Zetian. Their entourages are waiting outside the palace, and they don’t know when their master will come out. It’s very hard to wait. Although it is rare for Chen Yi to be left in the palace for a night, there are still some. There is no way to notify the entourages waiting outside the palace, and these people can only wait. Chen Yi is polite to his servants, and in order to avoid their worries, he begged Wu Tuaner for this matter. Wu Tuaner agreed readily and told Chen Yi that the Empress still has a lot of things to deal with, and she will come to talk to him when she has time.

Life in the palace is actually quite uncomfortable. At least Chen Yi feels that way, without any freedom, he has to obey others' instructions in everything. This is his least favorite lifestyle, but since he has to stay in the palace, there is no way, so he can only obey the instructions. Fortunately, Wu Tuaner takes special care of him and will whisper to him if he has something to do, which comforts Chen Yi.

Sun Simiao stayed in the palace, monitoring Li Zhi's application treatment, avoiding unexpected situations, and monitoring the treatment situation at any time. Old Dao Sun was reluctant, but because he was treating the emperor, and he had just made this application, the effect was not guaranteed, and there was no way to predict the side effects, so he could only keep guarding. He could deal with any situation at any time. Chen Yi, the "first actor", was idle and did not need to stay in the palace. This was because Sun Simiao took care of him. Chen Yi knew this, but he also knew that he was responsible for something. Therefore, after observing Wu Zetian's instructions and stayed in the palace for the night, he immediately asked someone to take him over to see what was going on with Sun Simiao. Fortunately, everything was in the best expectation. After Li Zhi used the application, he did not react abnormally, and even the redness and swelling of the applicator was not serious, and the effect was quite good, which made Chen Yi relax.

There was nothing unusual in the palace, and no one came to spread Chen Yi. It originally meant that Li Zhi would not have any situation. After confirming, Chen Yi was no longer worried. He followed the palace servant who led the way back to the Xianju Hall.

Today, Wu Zetian has to deal with a lot of things, and because Li Zhi needs to rest these days. At night, Wu Zetian doesn't go to accompany her, but she just checked out during the treatment period. She spent most of her time in Xianju Hall. In a few days, she will go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat. The matters of Chang'an must be held accountable. Many things must be explained, and some major matters must be handled first. Li Zhi cannot handle things, and Wu Zetian has a heavy burden on her shoulders.

When Chen Yi returned to Xianju Hall, it was already dinner time. Wu Zetian's dinner was preparing, and the busy Wu Tuaner instructed the palace servants to tell Chen Yi that the empress had just given instructions and let him have dinner with the empress later.

Wu Zetian's unexpected decision surprised Chen Yi. To be honest, he did not like to eat with Wu Zetian, so he would definitely feel uncomfortable. But he knew that this was a rare honor, and only those who were seen by Wu Zetian differently could have this honor. He wanted to cherish it. He knew that Wu Zetian would definitely ask him what he asked during the meal, so he was carefully preparing and thinking about some of the questions that Wu Zetian might ask!—

The dinner in the palace was not as good as Chen Yi's appetite, but because he was hungry and the food was quite delicious. When he was eating, he was still savoring Ning Qing's dishes. This little girl was deeply influenced by his "true teachings", and it was a bit better than blue than blue. Chen Yi felt that his appetite was stuck by her. He also hoped that more chefs in more places could learn how to cook, so that he could eat delicious dishes in many places. Originally, Helan Minzhi was going to let the chefs of Zuixianlou come to learn cooking techniques, but because Sun Simiao came back, Ning Qing had something to do, and they lived in the inn, so it was not realistic to really cook on a large scale, so it was still put on hold.

The ancients usually didn't speak when they were eating, especially reserved women like Wu Zetian. The same is true today. When they started eating, they also focused on eating and did not talk to Chen Yi who was sitting on the other side.

However, in the dining room, Wu Zetian still looked at Chen Yi from time to time. Chen Yi's performance surprised her a little. Logically speaking, Chen Yi, a former member of the Chen Dynasty royal family who was in Jiangnan, received an honor today and was fortunate to eat with her, the queen of the dynasty, should have been trepidated, but she did not see any discomfort on Chen Yi's face. This guy seemed to have not taken the honor of dining with her seriously. He ate casually, as if he was a little disgusted with the dishes cooked by the imperial kitchen in the palace. He frowned from time to time, and some dishes did not even move.

Chen Yi was careless and unrestrained, and he was similar to Helan Minzhi. He always did this when he was dining with her. However, Helan Minzhi was her nephew, and it was normal for her aunt to act so well. However, Chen Yi's identity was completely different. He shouldn't have eaten with peace of mind. Thinking of this, Wu Zetian had strange thoughts in his heart and could no longer remain silent.

"Chen Yi, I see that you haven't touched many of the dishes. Do you dislike the dishes cooked by the imperial chef in the palace that are not delicious?"

"Empress, it's OK, but it can't be said to be delicious. These days, Xiaomin has eaten too many delicious dishes and has a bit of a bad appetite, so the taste of some dishes cannot be recognized!"

"Oh?! Have you eaten too many delicious food?" Wu Zetian was a little surprised, put down his chopsticks, and asked with interest: "Where did you eat delicious food? Is it better than the dishes cooked by the imperial chef in the palace?"

"It was my companion Ning Qing who cooked me, and it was indeed better than the dishes cooked by the chef in the palace!" Chen Yi also put down his chopsticks and said slowly: "The main reason is that the cooking method is different. The dishes cooked by Ning Qing are fried, but cooked. The dishes cooked by high heat are much better than such dishes in terms of color and taste. The taste is really reminiscent! Hehe, Brother Changju that day... Oh, Mr. Helan and Mrs. Helan also enjoyed it. After eating it, they praised it. Mr. Helan even asked Ning Qing to teach cooking skills so that the chefs in Zuixianlou could also learn to stir-fry... "

"What happened?" Wu Zetian was very surprised. She had never heard Helan Minzhi say this, so she had no way to know. "You said this, I really became interested in this. I want to try the delicious food that made Minzhi and Minyue fall in love with him! Chen Yi, you won't mess with me, right? I don't really believe that there is such a delicious food!" She was full, and those who had full were not very interested in the so-called delicious food, so she was not very curious. She expressed her curiosity and doubted it even though she expressed her curiosity.

"If the Queen is interested, I will make you what you want, and I will never forget it after you eat it!" Chen Yi said, pointing to the dishes on the table in front of him, "You will definitely not be interested in most of the dishes cooked like this, hehe!" Chen Yi laughed subconsciously, expressing his pride, but immediately found that it was inappropriate, so he immediately shut up.

Wu Tuaner's strange gaze on the other side made him know that this was not a joke, and that he was facing Wu Zetian!

However, Wu Zetian didn't care, and a smile appeared on his face: "Chen Yi, what you said really makes people interested. Well, when will you let me enjoy the delicious food you mentioned? But I will also tell you today that if you use words to scare people, don't blame me for being angry at that time!"

"Definitely not. If you don't believe it, please ask Mr. Helan and Mrs. Helan first. They will definitely not lie to you. After listening to what they said, you should be most of the time. If you taste the dishes of different styles that Xiaomin said, you may think that what Xiaomin said is too conservative. The taste of those dishes is better than what Xiaomin boasted!" Chen Yi spoke these jokes in a serious tone. His serious look was so funny that Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing, and Wu Tuaner on the side was also smiling.

After a few jokes, Wu Zetian seemed to have a lot to say to Chen Yi, and asked Wu Tuaner to clean up the dishes and prepare to review the remaining memorials later, and then asked Chen Yi and her to go to the side hall, and she had something to ask.

Chen Yi stood in front of Wu Zetian and waited for inquiries. However, Wu Zetian's first inquiry surprised him!

"Chen Yi, I asked you, have you ever been married in Yuezhou?"

"Ah?!" Chen Yi couldn't help but scream, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and looked at Wu Zetian in confusion.

The jokes that I said during the meal just now seemed to be "unrelated to the wind and horses". No matter how much he reasoned, he would never have imagined that after the meal, Wu Zetian started a new conversation with such a topic.

Seeing Chen Yi's appearance, Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile and asked again: "I asked you if you have ever married? Has the marriage been settled?"

"Have I married? Have I settled for a marriage?" Chen Yi frowned and thought for a while. There should be no, otherwise Chen An, Piner and others would definitely talk to him. If they didn't say it, then there would be no. He shook his head at the moment: "Go back to the Queen, there shouldn't be... I didn't expect the Queen to ask Xiaomin this question just now, and I didn't react at once!"

Chen Yi is a person who is good at summarizing. Through several contacts with Wu Zetian, he roughly understood what kind of people Wu Zetian admired and liked, so he also showed this. But he didn't know that Wu Zetian "liked" him, but it was not because of these, or because he didn't think of them at all.

"It's good if you haven't married, that's good!" Wu Zetian smiled again, and he leaned his head closer to Chen Yi, and said softly: "My niece Helan Minyue is already an adult and can get married. We are all worried about this. Min had said a few days ago that you have a very good relationship with Minyue. Minyue has a good impression of you and you like her very much. I ask you, if I plan to betroth Minyue to you, will you agree to this marriage?"

"Ah!" Chen Yi opened his mouth wide in surprise again!

A huge pie hit him down and knocked him unconscious! (To be continued. If you like this work, please
