Emperor Yuan Ming suppressed his laughter. "Yangyang wants to try so many dishes today?"
Shang Yangyang nodded with a smile. "Yes, yes, I've been wanting to eat that for a long time."
"Yangyang, I'm worried that the royal chef might not be able to cook well for the first time."
Shang Yangyang frowned and thought. "Dad said that the imperial chef is the best chef in Xiling Country."
The corner of Manager Wan's mouth twitched. He didn't expect Lord Shang to think so highly of them. However, they had never seen these dishes before, and they were really worried about making them for the first time.
Chief Steward Wan still looked at Emperor Yuanming with a worried look on his face, and heard Emperor Yuanming continue to say: "Yangyang Imperial Chef is really good at cooking. How about ordering these and adding some of the Imperial Chef's specialties?"
Shang Yangyang thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay."
Manager Wan breathed a sigh of relief, at least there would be edible food for lunch.
Emperor Yuan Ming ordered: "General Manager Wan, take the recipe back and make arrangements. Try to follow the recipe as much as possible."
"Yes." Manager Wan hurriedly took the thick book and left the imperial study.
Emperor Yuanming walked forward, picked up several other encyclopedia books on the ground, and sat down. "Yangyang, these clothing stores have already started preparing, you can also choose a few styles and ask the embroiderer to make them for you."
Shang Yangyang nodded vigorously. "Uncle Emperor, I have already chosen."
Shang Yangyang flipped through the picture albums and ordered a few ruqun styles that were modified from small skirts.
Emperor Yuan Ming: "Well, our Yangyang has a very good vision."
Emperor Yuanming looked at Li Defu. "Go and ask the embroiderer to make the clothes according to Yangyang's measurements."
"Yes." Li Defu took the order and left.
Emperor Yuan Ming continued to flip through the books. Ever since Shang Yuanshan sent him the copied books that day, he had been particularly interested in the encyclopedia of carpentry contained therein.
Shang Yangyang sat beside Emperor Yuan Ming and read books with him, and also exchanged views with him.
Emperor Yuan Ming looked at Shang Yangyang curiously: "Our Yangyang knows a lot of words now?"
At this point, Shang Yangyang put his hands on his hips in anger and said, "Uncle Emperor, I have to tell you this. Grandpa Luo is really cunning and sly, even more cunning and sly than my father and grandfather."
Emperor Yuanming couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "Why do you say that?"
"Ah~" Shang Yangyang sighed and said: "Grandpa Luo asked me to accompany Yunyun every five days, but I have to go almost every day. Sometimes I accompany Yunyun to class while I play with things on the side.
Then Grandpa Luo made me a toy, a piece of paper with a sentence on it, saying that if I completed the task, he would take us out for a delicious meal, so I became interested. "
Emperor Yuan Ming listened and nodded. "This is indeed a good arrangement."
Shang Yangyang: "Well, I feel good too. If I ask Grandpa Luo about words I don't know, he can tell me, so I can eat delicious food smoothly.
But later I found that I knew a lot of words, and that knowledge inexplicably entered my brain. Uncle Emperor, do you think Grandpa Luo is too cunning? "
Emperor Yuan Ming laughed out loud, and pinched Shang Yangyang's nose. "It's mainly because our Yangyang is smart. She learned to read while playing."
Shang Yangyang thought about it and nodded. "Uncle Emperor, you are right about this. I am the smart one."
"Yes, our Yangyang is the smartest." Emperor Yuan Ming suddenly became curious and asked, "Yangyang, now that you can read, has Luo Chuansheng changed something to teach you?"
"Ah~ I'm worried when I talk about this. Grandpa Luo actually started to explain the Three Character Classic to me, saying that it's not enough to just recite it, but you also have to understand what it means. But I have to say that Grandpa Luo is indeed a good teacher. I'm quite willing to listen."
Emperor Yuan Ming was still worried about finding an enlightenment teacher for Shang Yangyang, but he didn't expect that Luo Chuansheng would come to him and make Shang Yangyang interested in learning.
Emperor Yuan Ming smiled and rubbed Shang Yangyang's little head, and the two continued to read the encyclopedia of carpentry.
The two were so engrossed in reading that they only came back to their senses after lunch was served in the imperial kitchen.
Shang Yangyang looked at the table full of delicious food. When she saw the golden fried pork with crystal clear sauce, her mouth was watering.
Shang Yangyang looked at Emperor Yuan Ming expectantly.
Emperor Yuan Ming smiled and said: "Try the food~"
Several eunuchs were seen picking up dishes with serving chopsticks and starting to eat piece by piece. Shang Yangyang frowned when she saw this. She was too familiar with this procedure. After the procedure was over, how could she eat the dishes when they were cold?
Shang Yangyang looked at Emperor Yuanming and said, "Uncle Emperor, have you taken the pills I sent you before?"
"have eaten."
Shang Yangyang ran to Emperor Yuan Ming's ear and whispered, "That's the Hundred Poisons Invulnerability Pill. You won't be afraid of being poisoned."
Emperor Yuan Ming immediately understood Shang Yangyang's little thoughts. He didn't say anything more. Shang Yangyang ran back to his seat and picked up the silver chopsticks.
I saw her jumping and skipping to the location of the sweet and sour pork, picked up a piece of it and was about to put it in her mouth.
"Little Princess~" Li Defu was about to step forward to stop her.
Emperor Yuan Ming: "No problem."
Li Defu looked at Emperor Yuan Ming worriedly, but was finally defeated by the look in Emperor Yuan Ming's eyes. He just watched Shang Yangyang put the sweet and sour pork into her mouth.
Shang Yangyang's eyes lit up immediately. "Wow~ Delicious~"
Then she ran to pick up the hot and sour noodles beside her and took a sip. "This is the taste, hehe~"
Shang Yangyang immediately let himself go and started eating.
Emperor Yuan Ming, standing by, had eyes full of doting. His appetite was aroused as he picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in his mouth.
Li Defu broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this. The time for tasting the food had not even started yet, but the emperor had already started eating. What if something went wrong?
Emperor Yuan Ming finished eating a piece of sweet and sour pork and then picked up another piece.
With the presence of Shang Yangyang, the little foodie, lunch ended half an hour earlier than usual.
Shang Yangyang sat there rubbing his belly and burped loudly. "Burp~"
"Uncle Emperor, this imperial chef is indeed worthy of his reputation. The restaurant will surely be a big hit once it opens~"
【Then I can go there and eat there every day. 】
Emperor Yuan Ming suppressed his laughter. He did not expose Shang Yangyang's little thoughts. He nodded. "Okay, I will ask them to prepare for the opening of the restaurant as soon as possible."
"Yeah, yeah~"
Shang Yangyang stayed in the palace until the sun set, and she left the palace before the students handed in their papers.
Half an hour later, the students who participated in the imperial palace examination walked out of the palace one after another.
Inside the palace, officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy were busy. They had to complete the review of all the test papers before tomorrow morning and select ten for Emperor Yuan Ming to review.
As the morning light began to rise, ten test papers selected by officials from the Ministry of Rites were neatly placed on the desk of Emperor Yuan Ming.
