Palace Fighting Naive Concubines’ Ascent to Power

Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Roast Chicken Can Be Nutritious

He walked slowly past the roasted chicken, drooling and heartbroken, turning his head back every three steps, slower than a turtle. He simply couldn’t bear to leave; the roasted chicken smelled too good, getting a few extra whiffs wasn’t a wasted trip…

Da Zhuang’s eyes were filled with silent complaint. Master Lian had filled half the meal box and then ran off to look at clothes, assigning a namesake once he had finished. Da Zhuang had been left holding the meal box by himself, and no matter how strong he was, his hands were getting sore.

Lian Hua chuckled awkwardly, “Oh, Xiao Linzi, come give Da Zhuang a hand with that.”

Oh dear, she had completely forgotten how heavy the meal box was.

Xiao Linzi came to his senses with a start, “Oh,” as he had also forgotten, having been distracted by Brother Xiao Ji’s new clothes. He hurried over to lift one side for Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang immediately felt much lighter.

Lian Hua was relieved, and as she resumed her earlier task of selecting dishes to include in the meal box, she comforted him, “Da Zhuang, are your arms sore? Wait a bit, I’ll leave you two roasted chickens to replenish your strength.”

Da Zhuang brightened up and loudly said, “Thank you, Master Lian, with those words, my arms don’t feel sore at all.”
