The variety of dishes was dazzling, overwhelming the senses. It made Le Yao Yao's mouth water.
After all, she hadn't eaten anything since waking up that morning! Her stomach was currently protesting with an empty growl, and now, seeing so many delicious foods before her, it completely awakened her appetite.
However, Le Yao Yao dared not reveal her thoughts too openly; after all, there was a large Buddha statue standing beside the Large Round Table!
She noticed that the Chief Eunuch had been waiting here for some time. Upon seeing Leng Junyu enter, he respectfully greeted him in a low voice.
"Did you sleep well last night, Your Highness?"
"Yes, it was fine."
Hearing the Chief Eunuch's words, Leng Junyu nodded slightly. Then, with a flick of his robe, he sat down and picked up his chopsticks to begin his breakfast.
Le Yao Yao stood at a distance, feeling that since everyone was already eating, there was no need for her to intrude. Plus, her stomach felt like it was about to collapse from hunger. She feared that if she got too close and caught a whiff of the fragrant dishes, she wouldn't be able to help herself.
As she quietly stood to the side, feeling bored, her gaze wandered around, taking in her surroundings.
Suddenly, a crisp sound startled Le Yao Yao, snapping her back to reality as she turned toward the source of the noise.
She saw that Leng Junyu had set down his bowl and chopsticks. His expression was calm and unreadable, making it difficult to discern his thoughts.
However, glancing at the dishes before him, she noticed he had only taken a small taste before stopping altogether.
Upon hearing this, the Chief Eunuch immediately stepped forward, expressing concern.
"Your Highness, is the meal not to your taste today?"
"Mm."
Listening to the Chief Eunuch's words, Leng Junyu merely nodded lightly while elegantly wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
Seeing his response and glancing at the table filled with dishes that had barely been touched, Le Yao Yao could hardly contain her frustration.
This man was truly wasteful!
Just for himself, he had ordered over a dozen dishes for breakfast, each made with expensive ingredients. Delicacies like bird's nest and shark fin—if it were an ordinary person, the cost of this meal could last them for several months.
Yet here he was, not even touching any of the food, simply declaring it unappetizing. She wondered what kind of stomach he had.
Le Yao Yao grumbled inwardly, her eyes fixated on the lavish spread before her.
If only she could eat this feast right now...
Just as she was lost in thought, the Chief Eunuch's voice broke through again.
"What kind of dishes would Your Highness like? I will have them prepared immediately."
"Mm, what should we eat?"
Upon hearing the Chief Eunuch's words, Leng Junyu propped himself up with one hand while his other long hand rested on the table, lightly tapping as if he were deep in thought.
After a long moment, he finally spoke.
"I want to eat something sour and spicy today."
"Understood, Your Highness! I will take care of it right away!"
The Chief Eunuch bowed and quickly turned to leave. Before long, hurried footsteps echoed from outside the door.
Accompanying the sound of footsteps was an enticing aroma that made one's mouth water and fingers twitch with anticipation—sour and spicy fish!
Just by smelling that fragrance, Le Yao Yao knew exactly what dish it was without needing to look. After all, since childhood, her favorite had always been dishes that were both sour and spicy; she could never get enough of them.
