Chapter 104: The Cute Empress Wearing an Apron to Cook

Chu Qingyue was wearing a simple yet elegant white dress at that moment.

However, she had put on a light yellow apron over it.

The light yellow apron was something that only married women would wear after their wedding, and it was considered quite “rustic” in the eyes of young women.

But when Chu Qingyue wore it, the apron seemed to have risen to a whole new level.

It wrapped around her beautiful figure, outlining a perfect curve.

Chu Qingyue was holding a pot that was emitting hot steam.

Her face had a few black spots on it, which made her snow-white skin stand out even more, and she looked adorable with a hint of contrast.

“Wife, the surprise you told me about is actually this.”

Nie Chen was stunned, as he had thought of many possibilities, but he never expected it to be this.

Oh no, his nose was bleeding!

“I specifically asked others, don’t you men like capable women? So, I, the Empress, tried to wear an apron and cook, isn’t that a reward for you?”

Chu Qingyue’s cheeks were flushed, and even her ears had turned red.

She had prepared for this day for a long time.

Not only did she ask what men liked, but she also bought an apron and learned how to cook.

But when she faced Nie Chen, she still couldn’t help but feel shy.

“Wife, are you sure you understand the meaning of ‘capable’?”

Looking at Chu Qingyue’s slightly clumsy yet adorable appearance, Nie Chen finally couldn’t help but laugh.

Although he didn’t get to see the scene he had imagined, he didn’t feel any regret.

After all, only he could see the Empress’s clumsy yet adorable appearance as she cooked for the first time.

“Don’t you like it, husband?”

Chu Qingyue looked at Nie Chen with a hint of disappointment, and she seemed a bit pitiful.

“How could I not like it, wife? You’re so capable, and this dish must be more delicious than anyone else’s, you’re the best!”

Nie Chen immediately praised her and stood up, walking towards Chu Qingyue without hesitation.

He lifted the lid of the pot, but his expression froze instantly.

A black fog rose, and the pot was filled with a dark green liquid that was bubbling constantly.

The liquid seemed to form a ferocious face, like a demon whispering, “Come and eat me! If you eat me, you’ll be able to say goodbye to your troubles and become an immortal, hahaha!”

It turned out that his wife could only cook dark cuisine!

“Husband, don’t you want to eat it?”

Chu Qingyue looked at Nie Chen with a pitiful expression.

“I…”

Nie Chen’s face was covered in tears, and he felt like every cell in his body was resisting.

But…

“I’ll eat it! I’ll do it!”

Suddenly, Nie Chen’s fighting spirit was ignited.

If he couldn’t even eat his wife’s dark cuisine, what kind of man was he?

He scooped up a large spoonful of the unknown liquid and stuffed it into his mouth.

【System detected that the host has ingested a highly toxic substance, whether to perform emergency detoxification?】

“Really delicious, wife, you’re too good at cooking.”

Nie Chen praised her with a thumbs up, but his mouth was bleeding.

“If it’s delicious, then I’ll eat it too.”

Chu Qingyue nodded proudly and scooped up a spoonful, but she stopped when she smelled the aroma.

Then, she suddenly dropped the spoon.

“Wife, what’s wrong?”

“I’m not eating it.”

“Why not?”

“It’s obviously dark cuisine, only a fool would eat it.”

“…”

Nie Chen was speechless.

It turned out that his wife had this kind of self-awareness, but why didn’t she say so earlier!

Looking at Chu Qingyue’s slightly guilty expression, Nie Chen felt a bit sorry for her, so he rolled up his sleeves.

“Wife, I’ve received your reward, and now it’s my turn to cook for you.”

“Hmm?”

Before Chu Qingyue could react, Nie Chen took the pot of dark cuisine and walked out.

“System, use three skill points to upgrade my cooking skills to the highest level.”

【Upgraded, host’s cooking skills have reached the highest level.】

With his pure and skilled cooking techniques, Nie Chen used his spiritual energy to control the heat.

In no time, he had cooked all the ingredients into delicious dishes and brought them into the bedchamber.

When Chu Qingyue saw the food, her eyes lit up instantly, and she had already forgotten about her own dark cuisine.

Those things were not for human consumption!

“Come, wife, eat more rabbit meat, it’s good for your skin and beauty.”

“Wife, eat more of this dish, it’s my specialty.”

“Wife, have a chicken leg, it’s delicious.”

Nie Chen kept putting food into Chu Qingyue’s bowl.

Chu Qingyue hummed, “I suspect you have ulterior motives.”

“Ulterior motives? Why?”

Nie Chen was taken aback.

“You’re using the chopsticks to feed me, isn’t that an indirect kiss!”

“Indirect kiss? I’ve already kissed you so many times, why would I need to use an indirect kiss to take advantage of you?”

Nie Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

“You!”

Chu Qingyue’s face turned red instantly.

…

This meal was truly too satisfying.

After eating, Chu Qingyue let out a comfortable sigh and lay down on the bed.

“Wife, can I get on the bed?”

Nie Chen suddenly approached her.

“Of course not…”

Chu Qingyue stopped mid-sentence.

She remembered that she hadn’t fulfilled her promise, and she had even made Nie Chen eat her dark cuisine, which made him bleed.

She felt a bit guilty.

“Hmm, the Empress will temporarily allow you to get on the bed, but don’t think about touching me.”

Chu Qingyue hummed.

“Really? Wife, you’re so open-minded today!”

Nie Chen had just asked casually, but he didn’t expect Chu Qingyue to agree.

This was an opportunity given by heaven, and no man would let it slip away!

Nie Chen didn’t hesitate and lay down on the soft bed.

The fragrance of Chu Qingyue’s body filled the air, and the scent was even more intoxicating at such a close distance.

Nie Chen lay quietly on the bed for about half an hour, then he looked at Chu Qingyue.

He saw that her beautiful face was calm and peaceful, and her breathing was even.

It seemed that she had fallen asleep.

“Wife, are you asleep?”

“Wife, I’m going to touch you now!”

“Wife…”

Nie Chen’s voice grew louder, but Chu Qingyue remained still, her long eyelashes fluttering with each breath, looking extremely adorable.

“It seems she’s really asleep.”

Nie Chen stretched out his wicked hands.

But before he could touch her beautiful body, he was kicked out owith a loud “bang”.
