Chapter 1553

"Come, Chuan 'er, have a taste of this dish."

Empress Dowager Zhou had a smile on her face. Her brows were filled with happiness as she personally placed a dish into Mo Chuan's bowl.

Mo Chuan was also filled with happiness. He rarely saw this kind of heartfelt smile on Empress Dowager Zhou's face. He said with a smile, "Your son has already said that the dishes in mother's palace are the best and they are all your son's favourite."

He was speaking the truth.

Empress Dowager Zhou liked to eat light vegetarian food and this table was mostly filled with fragrant meat dishes. Out of ten dishes, nine of them were his favourite, it was clear they were specially prepared for him.

"Since you like it, then eat more. This widow has seen that you've become skinnier over the past few days and your eyes are completely red. This widow has also heard that you spent the entire night in the royal study. Emperor, the country's politics are important, but your body is also important. If you tire yourself out, aren't you afraid this widow will be worried about you?" Empress Dowager Zhou looked at him with a pained expression as she turned to give orders to Su Jin.

"Quickly stew a bowl of bird's nest for the emperor to nourish his body."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Su Jin bowed before turning to leave.

She had watched Mo Chuan grow up, so her love for Mo Chuan was no different from Empress Dowager Zhou's.

Mo Chuan said with a smile, "Mother is worrying too much. Your son is a martial artist, so I need less sleep than normal people. Your son only needs to meditate for a bit and it will be comparable to a normal person sleeping for two hours. Mother can be assured, your son will take care of his body."

He saw that Empress Dowager Zhou still wanted to say something, so he quickly said, "Mother, this dish is really good. I wonder where mother found this chef to actually make such a delicious dish."

Empress Dowager Zhou said with a faint smile, "If you didn't mention it, this widow would have forgotten. That's right, this widow invited you to dinner today because this widow has found a good chef. The dishes on the table are all made by this chef and this widow feels that they are not bad. I never thought that even the emperor would like to eat the dishes made by this chef."

Mo Chuan praised, "Congratulations mother, it's rare for a chef to receive mother's praise. This person's cooking skills are not ordinary, so your son will definitely heavily reward him, making him do his best to cook for mother."

"There's no need to congratulate me, this chef's dishes do not suit this widow's taste. This widow likes to eat vegetables, the simpler the better. This chef's skills are not ordinary, leaving him here for this widow is a waste of talent. How about this widow send this chef to the emperor's Guan Yu Palace, you can always eat the delicacies this chef makes, how about that?" Empress Dowager Zhou said with a smile. Empress Dowager Zhou nodded.

Empress Dowager Zhou said with a smile, "Then wouldn't it be your son stealing mother's people?"

"Silly child, why are you talking about stealing. If mother has something good, she will think of you first. If you are willing, this widow will send someone to send this chef to your palace." Empress Dowager Zhou said.

Her words filled Mo Chuan's heart with warmth and he replied with a smile, "Since it's like this, it would be disrespectful for this minister to refuse. Your son thanks mother."

He did not care about the chef's cooking skills, he only cared about Empress Dowager Zhou's care for him.

As for the Guan Yu Palace, having a chef with good cooking skills was not bad. Ning 'er would definitely like the dishes made by this chef.
