"Oh?" The Queen Mother was surprised again, "Who did it?"
Yuan Jing replied: "It's Miss Jin."
Jin Suting?!
The Queen Mother's eyes were full of disbelief. How could Jin Suting cook such delicious dishes?
She was the most notorious noblewoman in Funing City and even in Fuding State. Unexpectedly...
"Did she really do this? You didn't lie to me?"
Yuan Jing bowed deeply and knelt on the ground: "Your humble servant dare not, these three dishes were indeed made by Miss Jin."
The Queen Mother looked at the three dishes on the table, not knowing whether to eat them or not.
She had been so disparaging and dismissive of Jin Suting before eating, but now she was praising her food endlessly. This was too...
She didn't want to eat it, but she also wanted to eat it. After all, she finally came across a dish that suited her taste.
But in the end, she still didn't eat it. She planned to ask the imperial chefs in the palace to learn how to make this dish, but later, no imperial chef could make it taste like Jin Suting.
Not to mention the hot and sour lotus root slices and sour plum soup, even when it comes to cold cucumber salad, they can't get the ratio of vinegar and sugar right, so the dish ends up being either too salty or too sour or too sweet.
These are all things that happened later. The Queen Mother never imagined that one day she would be so obsessed with the dishes cooked by Jin Suting.
The Queen Mother left after finishing her meal, and Jin Suting was taken to the study by Helan Ruizhe.
Jin Suting said she wanted to talk.
Helan Ruizhe picked up his brush and continued the painting he hadn't finished yesterday: "What do you want to say?"
Jin Suting obediently helped Helan Ruizhe grind ink. She asked, "Can you tell me more about the Queen Mother's past? I want to know more, understand her better, like what she likes. If I can cater to her preferences, maybe she won't hate me so much."
Helan Ruizhe raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Grandma likes me the most. Are you trying to please her?"
Jin Suting wanted to roll her eyes: "I'm serious!"
Helan Ruizhe stopped smiling, afraid that his beloved would be drawn crookedly. He said, "Grandma, she loves to eat the most."
"Ah?" Jin Suting was a little surprised. "Does the Queen Mother like the three dishes that Yuan Jing sent over for me?"
Helan Ruizhe was outlining the lips of the person in the painting, looking up from time to time. He said, "I like it. Yuan Jing said that the Queen Mother likes it very much."
Jin Suting breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
After the outline of the red lips was completed, Helan Ruizhe said, "Grandma is actually a princess who was exiled by the late emperor. She wandered for many years and was not brought back until she was sixteen."
