Golden crispy fried chicken legs.
It makes people very hungry just by looking at it.
Concubine Ping originally had no interest in any food, but now she was already salivating.
There was a palace maid next to her, who picked up a knife and wanted to cut the fried chicken legs into pieces.
"Mrs. Toffee, the beauty of this fried chicken leg is that you can eat it directly with your hands. Uh, you can also pick it up with chopsticks. Although the way of eating it is a bit rough, it is also part of the fun." Lin Che reminded carefully.
The Concubine Ping nodded, not caring too much about the palace rules. She picked it up with chopsticks and said:
"When I was a child, before I entered the palace, my father would cut off the lamb legs and roast them for food. When I was practicing, I would eat three or four large lamb legs."
After saying that, Concubine Ping started eating.
"Mm, it smells really good."
Under the leadership of Concubine Ping, everyone tried it.
Only Jiang Li, who was sitting in the main seat, did not move.
Jiang Li was quite satisfied: "Lord Lin, you really know how to cook. Can you teach Concubine Ping how to cook fried chicken legs?"
"Of course, it's my honor."
Lin Che had no intention of hiding his secrets. After all, everyone was watching him make fried chicken. This kind of thing didn't require much skill.
If he wanted to sell it, other hotels and inns would have learned how to do it in less than three days.
"This talented man helped Sister Pingfei eat and even provided the recipe. We should also reward him with something."
Concubine Li stood up quietly, reaching into her arms and swaying as she walked towards Lin Che.
She exuded an extremely mature charm, and her exposed skin was white and tender, like a ripe peach.
He came to Lin Che and handed her a small box.
Because Lin Che was frying chicken legs, he was now facing everyone inside. Seeing that Concubine Li was coming over to reward him, he immediately bowed.
Li Fei came in front of him, blocking everyone's view.
"It's just a small gift, please accept it, Earl Jing'an."
When Li Fei placed the object on Lin Che's palm, she actually stretched out her fair little finger and gently drew two circles on Lin Che's palm.
Lin Che's palm trembled and retracted like lightning.
"It's for you, just take it."
Li Fei smiled brightly, her eyes were charming, her dimples were deep, and her eyes were almost thread-like.
Oh shit.
This Li Fei, how hungry she is.
Goblin... big, goblin!
My Double Skin Milk Majesty is still here. You are too bold.
I am a kind person by nature, but what you are doing is sexual harassment in the workplace!
No! Stop!!
"Thank you, Concubine!"
After Lin Che took it, he tried to keep his voice calm. After accepting the reward, he obediently stepped aside.
As for what was inside the palm-sized box, Lin Che did not open it to see.
Finished the meal.
Lin Che finally followed His Majesty Jiang Li out of the harem again.
Jiang Li spoke again, "Empress Li has also given you a reward. Naturally, I cannot leave it behind."
"I have issued an edict that the beast-subduing ring on your hand belongs only to you. Anyone who dares to take it will have his head chopped off."
"Lin Yaoguang broke into your residence and attacked you, showing disregard for the law. This year's military promotion quota will be revoked, he will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane, and he will be ordered to pay you one hundred thousand taels of silver in compensation. This will be reported to the Zhenyuan Army!"
Lin Che was overjoyed upon hearing this, but also surprised at the same time.
I didn't expect that His Majesty's punishment would be so severe this time.
You know, if Lin Pojun wants to pass on his legacy smoothly and let Lin Yaoguang take over, it's not just the title of "Duke of the State".
It's just a name, it's useless.
The most important thing is the military power. The Zhenyuan Army and the 100,000 tiger soldiers should be handed over to Lin Yaoguang. That is what the true hereditary successor wants.
Therefore, Lin Yaoguang has been mixing up military ranks in the Zhenyuan Army over the years, and has been promoted like crazy every year.
One day, when Lin Yaoguang becomes a deputy general, Lin Pojun will take him out to fight a few small battles, and he will be promoted to a general.
All of this is in preparation for hereditary succession.
But what about now? Jiang Li had directly canceled his promotion quota for this year and even informed the entire army. This had severely damaged Lin Yaoguang's prestige within the army.
Even if Lin Yaoguang is able to lead troops in the future, many soldiers will think that Lin Yaoguang has a dark history.
That glorious image collapsed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice for this humble subject."
Lin Che was so excited that he could even imagine Lin Yaoguang being so angry that he vomited blood.
Didn't you feel great when you kicked my door? You deserved it!
"I originally wanted to reward you with some gold, silver, and jewelry, but I remembered that Lord Lin doesn't like money, so I've been having a headache..."
No!
Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. This is a huge misunderstanding!
I like it, I like it very much!!
Don't be fooled by my donation of one million silver taels.
I am just a minister who loves money more than his life!
Lin Che felt a groundhog scream in his heart.
I can't keep pretending. If I continue, I'll lose everything.
"Your Majesty's gift, I dare not refuse it again and again. I will be on a diplomatic mission to Yanyun Kingdom in two and a half months. With my current level of cultivation, I might lose face in front of Da Gan. Therefore, I dare to ask for some body-building exercises..."
Jiang Li glanced at Lin Che and smiled slightly:
"Is it really for Da Gan's face?"
"Of course... but, I also have a selfish motive. I am afraid of death, and I want to learn some skills to save my life. Of course, I am definitely not a coward. I just feel that if I die early, I will not be able to share your majesty's worries in the future, and my death will be a bit unfair."
"Hahaha, it turns out that our fearless Jing'an Earl also has times when he is afraid of death."
When Jiang Li heard that Lin Che was also afraid of death, she felt relieved and a smile unconsciously spread across her face.
It was the moment when the last rays of the setting sun were setting, and Lin Che was following closely, a body length behind. From this angle, he could just see Jiang Li's beautiful profile.
The faint sunset fell on her face, as if covering it with a ray of glow.
The evening breeze blew, and Jiang Li's long hair fluttered, caressing Lin Che's face, with the fragrance of lilac lingering, refreshing the heart.
At this moment, Jiang Li seemed to have noticed something.
She immediately suppressed her smile, smoothed her long hair, looked forward, and regained her domineering demeanor.
"I promise you! The Dagan Library contains the most comprehensive collection of cultivation techniques in the world. You can go in and choose one to practice."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
"Don't be so anxious to thank me. It will only take seven days. Practice as quickly as possible. The Body Tempering Stage is very simple."
"In seven days, the envoys from Yanyun will arrive in Dagan. I appoint you as the deputy director and Fei Sanzhu as the chief director. You will jointly preside over the relevant reception matters."
What?
The envoy from Yanyun Kingdom is coming?
Isn't he going to be sent on a diplomatic mission to Yanyun Kingdom in two and a half months?
This enemy country has now sent an envoy. What is it doing?
Suddenly, Lin Che thought of the secret order Jiang Li gave him.
He immediately felt restless, as if a thorn in his back was on his side.
