HRPM – Chapter 517 The Old Man’s Achilles’ Heel

That old man looked positively radiant. His face was as plump as the God of Longevity’s, yet he had the nerve to claim he was exhausted from overwork.

He was obviously just trying to avoid her.

Hmph. Since I, Jin Luoluo, have come all this way, there’s no way I’m leaving empty-handed.

Jin Luoluo put on a pitiful expression, pretending to wipe tears from the corners of her eyes despite there being none. She looked every bit the dutiful daughter.

“Your Majesty, how could you say such a thing? Are you saying that every time I come to the palace, I only bring you trouble? How could you think of me like that? My heart is so broken~~”

The Emperor thought to himself, At least she has some self-awareness. Every time she comes, trouble follows. And heartbroken? I don’t see a single trace of sadness on her face.

“Then go on being heartbroken, Luoluo. I’m old now—I can’t stand being tossed around anymore. You young people should handle your own affairs.”

The Emperor was absolutely determined not to get dragged into whatever scheme she had this time.

Smiling sweetly, Jin Luoluo helped him sit up.

“Your Majesty, what are you saying? This time I came to bring you something wonderful. Once you’ve tasted it, I guarantee you’ll never forget its heavenly flavor.”

The Emperor’s dull eyes immediately lit up.

Then, just as quickly, he became wary again.

This girl must be trying to lure me into helping her with something.

Otherwise, why would she suddenly be so filial and bring me delicious food?

I can’t fall for it. I absolutely can’t.

“I’m not feeling well today. I really don’t have much of an appetite. You should just…”

He suddenly sniffed the air.

“Hmm? Where is that aroma coming from?”

A rich, mouthwatering fragrance drifted into the Emperor’s nose.

It was unlike anything he had ever smelled before—even more enticing than the finest dishes he had tasted in his entire life.

One sniff cleared his mind.

Another seemed to invigorate his entire body.

After breathing in the aroma a few more times, his appetite was completely awakened.

“Hurry and find out where that smell is coming from! Which consort has sent me such exquisite delicacies?”

The Emperor hurriedly ordered the chief eunuch.

The old eunuch immediately rushed outside to investigate.

Jin Luoluo secretly grinned.

That crafty old Emperor has two fatal weaknesses: beautiful women and delicious food.

She had heard that he was an unrivaled gourmet who had sampled famous cuisines from every corner of the world.

In his entire life, nothing delighted him more than beautiful women and exceptional food. Practically every renowned dish under heaven had already passed through his mouth.

But this time, the modern-style dishes she had carefully prepared would surely conquer this gluttonous old fox.

“Your Majesty, it wasn’t one of the imperial consorts who sent you food—it was me. I heard you’ve been in low spirits lately, so I specially prepared an absolutely unbeatable feast. I guarantee that once you’ve tasted it, you’ll feel refreshed, your mood will brighten, your energy will return, and you’ll instantly feel years younger.”
