However, looking at the dishes in front of her, they looked very good. She was not a wasteful person, and the eunuch had left a good impression on her.
So, she kept the bill from the kitchen in mind first, and as for the present, she decided to eat first.
The hot and sour crystal vermicelli soup base in front of you is bright red, the vermicelli is crystal clear, the taste is spicy and rich, and it is garnished with golden crispy soybeans. At least it looks very good.
Bai Susu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of vermicelli, put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly for a few times, and then her eyes lit up, the delicious spicy hot pot. All five flavors, this is the taste!
In fact, Bai Susu had already prepared herself for the fact that this bowl of vermicelli might not be so delicious, but it was not until she put it in her mouth that she felt a familiar feeling coming over her, and she wanted to cry for a moment. It was not because this bowl of vermicelli was so delicious that it was earth-shattering, but because the taste was exactly the same as what she had eaten in modern times!
As soon as she tasted it, she knew that it was made exactly according to the recipe she gave, and it was simply a replica of modern hot and sour noodles!
And because the ingredients in the palace are all top-notch, the taste is even better than before because of the familiarity!
Bai Susu sampled several dishes in succession: the roasted lamb was delicious, the tiger dish was refreshing, and the Longjing shrimp was incredibly fresh! Every dish was delicious and perfectly seasoned!
Could a chef who can make such a dish have a poor sense of taste?
Bai Susu had a question mark in her mind, and remembered the look of the little eunuch who refused to accept the reward. She thought, maybe this Master Deng was treated coldly and had a very hard time, so he was trying to be nice to him, a little-known eunuch.

Because the meal was unexpectedly delicious, Bai Susu ate too much as expected.
While walking around in circles in the room to digest their food, Nanchun and Manxia propped up the screen windows in the room for ventilation.
Most of the dishes today are heavy in flavor, especially the spicy and sour crystal ones, whose fresh and spicy taste lingers for a long time.
Just as he had put up the screen window, he saw Xiao Shunzi coming in from outside in a panic. He knelt down and said, "Master, the Holy King is coming to us!"
Bai Susu and the people below were all shocked because they thought the emperor would not come. In addition, there was some smell on the emperor from the meal just now. Bai Susu had already bathed and changed clothes. At this moment, her black hair was loose and she didn't even wear a hairpin or ring.
How can she meet the emperor when she is like this?
Nanchun was almost crying with anxiety. She said, "Master, please put on your coat quickly. I will ask Ling Qiu to come and do your makeup for you."
Bai Susu saw her panic, but she didn't think it was a big deal. She comforted her, "Don't panic. There's nothing wrong with this."

When the emperor arrived, Nanchun could only put a white jade hairpin on Bai Susu. There was really no other way. The emperor came too quickly and there was no time to tie a complicated bun. Bai Susu was quick-witted and thought that since she had to keep it simple, she might as well keep it simple. After all, she had this face to support it.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Bai Susu hurried over. When she lowered her head, a pair of court boots with black satin base and gold thread patterns appeared in front of her. In addition, the coiled dragon pattern on the hem of the dragon robe looked like a flying dragon in the sky, adding a bit of momentum.
Bai Susu half-knelt down, her voice sweet and crisp: "Greetings to the Emperor."
Emperor Xuan Jing felt a ripple in his heart, he had already realized that something was wrong with him today.
For some reason, he always thought of this woman occasionally today, thinking of her delicate body and gentle eyes. By the evening, he couldn't even concentrate. He used to be able to concentrate on reviewing memorials until midnight, but today, he was distracted several times!
Until Wang Fuhai brought the green card, he still came to Qixiang Hall as if possessed by a ghost.
This feeling of not being in control is very bad.
However, when he heard this crisp and sweet voice, his discomfort melted away completely like the first snow in spring.
Looking down at Bai Susu's shiny black hair, he raised his eyebrows. He was used to seeing concubines wearing a head full of jewels and jades when seeing him, but today Bai Susu was simple, with her hair simply tied up and pinned with an inconspicuous white jade hairpin.
It's really too simple.
"No need for formalities." Emperor Xuan Jing showed no emotion on his face, and even his voice was calm and restrained. Even though this was his second time in Qixiang Palace, he did not reveal the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Bai Susu bit her lip, raised her head and glanced at Emperor Xuan Jing quickly, then bowed her head and apologized: "My clothes are not in order, and I haven't had time to dress up yet. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The woman's voice had the sweetness of a young girl and the gentleness of a woman, and Emperor Xuan Jing felt a tingling sensation throughout his body. Adding to this was the subtle fragrance emanating from her body, perhaps because she had just bathed, which made the scent even purer.
Thinking of this, his brows relaxed and he said, "It's okay."
Bai Susu immediately raised her head, no longer nervous, her eyes overflowing with joy, and she thanked him sweetly.
Emperor Xuan Jing rubbed the ring on his finger a few times and thought to himself, what a sweet smile.
He strode to the seat at the head of the table. Bai Susu took the teacup presented by Nanchun and moved closer to Emperor Xuan Jing, even leaning slightly closer, and said delicately, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
As she got closer, the fragrance became stronger. However, besides the fragrance, there seemed to be another smell in the room, like... chili?
