Capítulo 149: Chapter 148: The Empress helps cover up lies, and also wants to pay homage to Guanyin for gifting a child…

Shen Chuwei's motion of pouring water halted as she looked up and saw the Empress staring at her with a curious face, giving her the false impression of being caught sneaking food.

Well, she was indeed sneaking a snack–

"Replying to Your Highness the Empress, this concubine is eating instant noodles."

The Empress was originally just out for a stroll, and upon seeing Shen Chuwei's furtive actions, she curiously followed her, not expecting to catch her sneaking a snack.

She leaned over for a closer look, as she had never seen this kind of food in all her years.

"What are instant noodles?"

Shen Chuwei explained, "Instant noodles are a type of noodle, and they taste quite good."

"Would you like to try a bowl, Your Highness?"

Let's just share, since she saw it anyway!

No, this would be considered bribery.

The Empress eyed the dry noodles and the dark stuff inside with skepticism, "Can this be eaten?"

Shen Chuwei assured her with certainty, "Of course, it can be eaten."
