A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace

Chapter 1317 - 1315: Sweetness Overload (2)

He got goosebumps all over his body, but they quickly subsided."So... Madam, what do you want to learn?"

"Right, you mentioned earlier about your nightmare. What did you dream about? Tell me."

Tang Xun didn’t know where to start answering, so she simply didn’t.

"Nothing much, we were just chatting for fun, and you eavesdropped!"

Xia Jingfeng looked very innocent.

"When did I eavesdrop? You guys were so loud, I heard everything clearly through two layers of gauze and a wall."

Tang Xun looked a bit uneasy, twisting a handkerchief and speaking with her head down.

"Let’s not talk about it anymore!"

After a moment of silence, she cautiously asked.

"My husband, have you read a lot of books?"

Xia Jingfeng nodded, puzzled as to why she suddenly asked that.

A moment later, Tang Xun asked again.

"Are there any that are simpler? Ones that women can read too?"

Xia Jingfeng finally understood, and quickly asked.

"Madam, do you want to read books?"

Tang Xun nodded, looking down as she spoke.

"Yes! I don’t know anything. I’ve grown so much and learned nothing!"

"Isn’t it too late to start learning now? Can you teach me, my husband?"

"I have no talent and might embarrass you in the future, make others look down on you, and mock you!"

"I don’t want to see that happen, so I want to learn to read and write!"

Xia Jingfeng saw her guilt-ridden appearance and felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

His resolve grew stronger, determined not to let Tang Jincai get away!

The Tang Family has run their business for years, often cheating customers, causing people to frequently complain!

Previously, he only sent people to warn them, never taking harsh actions.

But now... it seems he can settle both new and old scores together!

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind made up, the plan set.

Returning to the present.

He tenderly held Tang Xun in his arms and softly asked.

"Rest assured, you have a kind heart and are intelligent, you’ll definitely learn it!"

"And even if you can’t do anything, no one will dare to laugh at you!"

Tang Xun quickly shook her head.

"That’s not right! Even if others don’t say it to my face, they’ll still talk behind my back, won’t they?"

"And if I don’t have any knowledge!"

"Even if others don’t mock me, eventually I’ll make a fool of myself!"

"Alright, alright!"

Xia Jingfeng, having no way to refuse her, finally agreed to everything.

"I’ll teach you, won’t that do?"

Tang Xun’s eyes sparkled with happiness.

"Really? Really?"

Xia Jingfeng gave her a sidelong glance.

"When have I ever lied to you, my dear wife?"

Tang Xun smiled and looked down, not saying anything more.

"Alright, Madam!"

"It’s getting late, time for lunch!"

"Even if you’re in a hurry, you still need to eat before anything else!"

Tang Xun laughed with embarrassment.

"My husband, please!"

Xia Jingfeng held her by the shoulder.

"Madam, please!"

Hand in hand, they went to the main hall.

Over there, Xiao Shan and the others had long prepared lunch.

The large round table, made of yellow rosewood, was covered with a brown brocade cloth, with a small, intricately carved ice sculpture in the center.

The surrounding space was filled with all kinds of dishes, the table was packed full.

Tang Xun was dumbfounded.

"This... so much?"

She thought the morning meal was already lavish, but didn’t expect lunch to be like this...!

Braised pork, clear stewed meat, stewed fish, sweet and sour fish, roasted chicken, stewed chicken, white cut chicken, salt-baked chicken, goose webs, duck tongue, and other meat dishes were all available.

The vegetarian dishes were no less impressive, seasonal fresh vegetables, mountain mushrooms, dried tofu, and more.

The large table was filled with a variety of dishes from light to rich, savory to sweet, salty to spicy, from all over the place.

She had never seen such a lavish spread in her life, some even she couldn’t recognize by name, and she was momentarily entranced.

Xia Jingfeng pulled her to sit down and smiled.

"You’ve suffered before, but now with me, you won’t have to endure those hardships anymore!"

"You’re the mistress of this house, whatever you want to eat or need, just tell Xiao Shan!"

"Also, you’re too thin, you should eat more to nourish yourself!"

After washing their hands and face.

Xia Jingfeng kept putting food into Tang Xun’s bowl.

The bowl in front of her was soon heaping.

"I don’t know what you like to eat!"

"So I had them make a bit of everything. If you like something, have the kitchen maid make it often for you!"

Tang Xun couldn’t help but laugh.

"Husband, are you trying to fill my bowl completely?"

Seeing it couldn’t hold any more, Xia Jingfeng finally stopped.

"Xunxun, you need to eat more!"

Tang Xun repeatedly nodded.

"Alright!"

"Since you’ve given me so much, husband, if I don’t eat it, wouldn’t it let you down?"

Saying this, she picked up a piece of dried tofu and tasted it carefully.

"How is it? Is it tasty?" Xia Jingfeng asked nervously.

Even though there were so many dishes, he was still worried she wouldn’t find one she liked. Really...

Who could blame him, when this was his beloved wife in front of him!

Tang Xun tasted a bit and her eyes lit up.

"It’s delicious. I think this dried tofu is salty and chewy, it’s tasty! I like it."

Xia Jingfeng quickly noted it down in his mental little red book.

Tang Xun then tasted a piece of spicy chicken.

Never having eaten spicy food before, she started coughing immediately, her face turned red, and tears welled in her eyes.

Xia Jingfeng patted her back while secretly noting down the spiciness in his mental little black book.

After the meal.

The little red book and little black book were filled to the brim, clearly recorded.

Nice, he figured out pretty much what his wife likes.

...

After lunch.

They took a nap to digest the food.

Tang Xun had another nightmare.

This time, it wasn’t about being laughed at or disliked by Xia Jingfeng.

Instead... although her husband kept teaching her, she just couldn’t learn.

"This character... this character!"

She was so anxious, her head was sweating, mumbling indistinctly.

"This character, I just can’t write it out!"

"My hand!"

Tears were streaming from her eyes as she desperately waved her arm.

Xia Jingfeng woke up instantly.

"Xunxun?"

He patted her back, soothing her while waking her up.

"What did you dream of?"

Tang Xun blurredly dabbed her eyes, opened them to see Xia Jingfeng, and cried as she rushed into his arms.

"Am I too stupid?"

"I can’t learn anything!"

"What should I do? I can’t learn."

Xia Jingfeng was at a loss for words.

"How can that be? You haven’t even started learning yet!"

"You will definitely learn it!"

"Come, sleep a little more, I won’t do anything this afternoon, just stay with you, how about that?"

"I’ll teach you later, hand in hand, okay?

Tang Xun, hearing this, nodded off sleepily.

Before Xia Jingfeng could say more, she was back asleep in no time.
