Chapter 751: Cooking
Rong Zhixiao said hypocritically, "Then I don't want it. I only want the one embroidered by my beloved concubine."
Shen Hanqing took the sachet back and said, “Then don’t take it.”
Rong Zhixiao looked at Shen Hanqing's reaction and thought that it was impossible to ask Shen Hanqing to embroider for him.
He even imagined what Shen Hanqing would look like when she embroidered the sachet… He couldn’t imagine it.
Well, Shen Hanqing really doesn’t look like someone who can embroider.
Then I can only settle for the second best. The sachet given by Shen Hanqing is also good.
So Rong Zhixiao reached out and took it back, "This one is also good."
Then he carefully hung it around his waist and said, "I will always carry it with me. After all, it is a token of my beloved concubine's love."
Shen Hanqing's expression was one of disgust.
Rong Zhixiao pretended not to notice Shen Hanqing's disdain and asked, "My beloved, is your meal ready?"
Shen Hanqing replied coldly: “No.”
Rong Zhixiao pretended to be surprised, "That's perfect, I don't have any either, why don't we have dinner together?"
Shen Hanqing didn't refuse.
Until the meal was served, the smell of medicine that hit Rong Zhixiao made his expression blank for a moment.
Shen Hanqing has already picked up the chopsticks.
Rong Zhixiao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why are these meals?"
Shen Hanqing raised her eyebrows, “Medicinal food, what’s wrong?”
Rong Zhixiao said sheepishly, "My beloved concubine's body really needs to be taken care of. Medicinal food is also good."
So Rong Zhixiao also picked up the chopsticks and carefully picked up a piece of chicken.
He had thought it wouldn't be that hard to swallow, but he was overthinking it.
The chicken tasted like medicine, which was extremely weird.
Well, medicine is not something that tastes good.
333 suddenly spoke up, "Host, if I remember correctly, there's a villain in that world who seems to be very good at making medicinal food?"
Shen Hanqing's movements were minimal, and he paused for a moment before replying, "Really? I forgot."
As she spoke, she glanced at Rong Zhixiao.
Rong Zhixiao was eating other things with a fearless attitude.
Shen Hanqing retracted her gaze and ate other dishes calmly.
Rong Zhixiao hadn't eaten much when his mouth was already full of the taste of medicine.
He asked, "My dear, how long will it take for me to eat?"
Shen Hanqing replied: “I don’t know, I won’t eat it until my body is well.”
Rong Zhixiao looked at Shen Hanqing's very thin body and felt that it might take a long time to eat.
If you eat like this every day, you won't be able to taste anything after your body is in good shape.
Maybe we should change the cooks.
So the palace began to recruit royal chefs again.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and many chefs have come to the capital hoping to become imperial chefs and bring honor to their families.
After hearing that the imperial chef this time had to be able to prepare medicinal food, many people came to cram at the last minute.
However, without a chef, no medicinal food can be made delicious.
Many chefs complained that this was simply a hassle, and that medicine was never delicious.
Even if it is made into medicinal food, it won’t taste much better.
Because of this incident, those who are concerned have something to say.
The reason why the chef was given so much trouble was because Shen Hanqing's affair was leaked.
As a result, Shen Hanqing's reputation leaned more towards that of a demon concubine.
Many people also complained that such a big fuss was made just for a small medicinal food.
If it were anything else, that would be fine.
Others say that it’s actually quite good not to be able to enter the palace.
The emperor dotes on Concubine Shen so much. If she enters the palace and something she cooks is not to her liking, she might even be beheaded.
As a result, there were fewer chefs who wanted to enter the palace.
So in the end, we were unable to find a chef who could make delicious medicinal food.
And Rong Zhixiao has already accompanied Shen Hanqing to eat several medicinal meals.
Even the tea he drank tasted like medicine.
Rong Zhixiao felt that this really wouldn't work.
So, Rong Zhixiao decided to try it himself.
There really isn't such a thing as the emperor cooking.
To others, the emperor has a dragon body.
How could a dragon's body touch such a thing?
Rong Zhixiao found it funny. What dragon body? Isn’t he an ominous body?
When did it become a dragon body?
So no one could persuade Rong Zhixiao and they could only watch him cook.
Rong Zhixiao in this world had indeed never cooked much, but he still managed to cook a few dishes decently.
Then someone brought it to Shen Hanqing.
Moreover, Rong Zhixiao had specifically instructed that the food made by other imperial chefs should also be brought over, so that they would not tell Shen Hanqing what he had made.
While eating, Rong Zhixiao stared at Shen Hanqing and asked, "My beloved concubine, what do you think of today's medicinal meal?"
As the emperor cooks, how could Shen Hanqing not have heard of it.
She glanced at Rong Zhixiao lightly, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Rong Zhixiao discovered that Shen Hanqing picked up the dishes he made accurately.
For some reason, Rong Zhixiao felt a sense of satisfaction.
But he didn't show it. Maybe it was just a coincidence. How could it be so accurate?
Among so many dishes, I just happened to choose the one he made.
But the next few times, Shen Hanqing was accurate in picking up the dishes he made.
Then he said, "The others should withdraw."
Rong Zhixiao asked knowingly, "My beloved concubine, don't you like it? Why did you ask them to leave?"
Shen Hanqing glanced at him and said, “It’s unpalatable.”
Rong Zhixiao couldn't help coughing, then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Then the few medicinal dishes that my beloved concubine left behind are not unpalatable, right?"
Shen Hanqing replied calmly: “It’s indeed not that bad.”
Rong Zhixiao automatically filtered out "not so bad" and changed it to "delicious".
Then he said as if to take credit: "My beloved concubine is really good at choosing. These dishes were made by me personally."
Shen Hanqing: “Oh.”
Rong Zhixiao waited for a while and found that Shen Hanqing was really going to say only one oh.
This made Rong Zhixiao a little hurt, so he asked again: "What do you think, my beloved concubine?"
Shen Hanqing said without even raising her head: "It's not bad."
Rong Zhixiao felt a little unhappy.
Although he could understand that this was not unpalatable as delicious, it would be even better if Shen Hanqing could say it was delicious in person.
Rong Zhixiao looked at Shen Hanqing eagerly, thinking that he didn't believe it and couldn't let Shen Hanqing say the word delicious.
So Rong Zhixiao began to study every day how to make medicinal food delicious.
Of course, Rong Zhixiao did not neglect state affairs because of this.
After all, Rong Zhixiao is not a tyrant.
But even so, it could not stop those ministers from using this as an excuse.
Then naturally, the topic came to Shen Hanqing.
It is said that Rong Zhixiao is not doing his job properly because of Shen Hanqing.
As a king of a country, you should care about the world. How can you be like a chef, just focusing on the stove?
After all, it still means that Shen Hanqing cannot be kept because she is a disaster.
Prime Minister Su finally found an opportunity and asked Su Qingcheng to convey his desire to meet her.
Shen Hanqing did not refuse and chose to leave the palace to meet Prime Minister Su.
In this world, Shen Hanqing has not been able to go out for a walk, by the way.
