The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

"How can this be possible?" The Queen Mother waved her hands quickly.

She is a girl in the boudoir, how can she be as professional as those people in the small kitchen.

not.

"Yes, Wan'er, the Queen Mother has had a poor appetite in recent years. Maybe she likes to eat heavy flavors, but the Emperor doesn't allow her to eat them, so the three meals a day in the small kitchen tend to be light."

"Empress Dowager, although I don't have a professional kitchen, my mother has always praised my good cooking skills. I see that you look pale, which must be because you don't eat much. I will cook a meal for you today. It can be regarded as an opportunity for me to be filial to you." She liked the Queen Mother.

She had so much kindness towards her.

No matter whether it was because of Prince Qi or because of Concubine Xu, the look she showed towards him was always kind.

The Queen Mother couldn't persuade Fang Shiwan, so she had to agree.

Fang Shiwan wrote down the necessary ingredients on a piece of paper and asked the palace maid to prepare them.

She and Ziyun went to the small kitchen to prepare other things.

The Queen Mother and Concubine Xu looked at Fang Shiwan's serious performance and both smiled and shook their heads.

The two agreed that even if the food she cooked was not delicious, they would still praise it.

About a quarter of an hour later, it was lunch time.

After a while, the palace maids came over one after another carrying dishes.

The Queen Mother looked quite competent and winked at Xu Zhaoyi.

Xu Zhaoyi smiled and nodded.

Not until all the things were ready did Fang Shiwan finally come over.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Xu, the dishes I prepared are simple, please bear with me."

"It's okay." Xu Zhaoyi didn't take it seriously at all.

The Queen Mother turned around and looked back at the dishes on the table, a little surprised, "Wanwan, this dish... is it raw?"

"Yes, raw."

Queen Mother: ? ? Can it be eaten raw?

Seeing the Queen Mother's suspicious expression, Fang Shiwan smiled and introduced, "Queen Mother, I have prepared something fresh for you two, it's called hot pot."

"The soup base is chicken soup, and the charcoal fire next to it is called a grill."

"These small bowls contain seasonings for grilling meat."

"Whatever you like to eat, just put it in the hot pot and cook it for a while and you can eat it. And this, this slightly larger bowl has several flavors. This one has a light salty flavor, this one has a slightly stronger sauce flavor, and this one is spicy."

Fang Shiwan said as he picked up a piece of beef from the table, dipped it in the hot pot for a few times, then dipped it in the seasoning, and then placed it in a new bowl.

"Queen, please try it."

The Queen Mother was so shocked by her miraculous movements that she had not yet recovered from her shock. When she heard that she could eat, she swallowed her saliva.

She had just smelled a fragrance and her saliva was almost flowing.

She then picked up the chopsticks from the table and picked up the piece of meat that Fang Shiwan had just cooked.

As you take a bite, a salty and fragrant taste fills your mouth, and when you bite it, there is a hint of juice, which is rich and sweet.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Fang Shiwan asked expectantly.

Conditions in ancient times were limited, but fortunately her space still had the seasonings prepared by Ziyun and Ziyue a few days ago.

She whimpered a few times, moving the chopsticks a few times, swallowed hard and said, "It's delicious."

Xu Zhaoyi swallowed her saliva, and upon hearing the empress dowager's exaggerated expression, she also picked up the chopsticks and, imitating Fang Shiwan, picked up a piece of meat.

She took a sip of the sauce in the middle and put it into her mouth.

The aroma of soy sauce made her forget about anything else and she picked up another piece and continued to brush it.

"It's... so delicious. I've never eaten such a meal before." She mumbled.

The palace maids standing not far away were all drooling at the smell, looking at this side with salivating eyes.

"Is this wine?" Xu Zhaoyi asked, pointing at the wine jug on the table.

"Well, how can we eat hotpot without drinking? Xu Zhaoyi, we won't go home until we are drunk today!" Fang Shiwan rolled up his sleeves and sat down.

Xu Zhaoyi glanced at the Queen Mother, and she nodded.

Several people began to eat without any scruples, especially the Queen Mother. She was wolfing down the food, so how could she have a poor appetite?

There were laughter and joy in Shoukang Palace, and the imperial carriage happened to pass by Shoukang Palace.

"Stop!" The emperor waved his hand, "Eunuch Li, did you hear any noise?"

Eunuch Li pricked up his ears, and soon put them against the palace wall.

"Your Majesty, it was from the Queen Mother's palace. I heard the voice inside."

"What makes the mother sound so happy? Let's go and take a look."

"Your Majesty, didn't you agree to dine with the Empress?"

"Go see the Queen Mother first, and then go again." It wasn't far away.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li responded and walked to the door and knocked.

Knock knock knock!

The door to the bedroom was opened, and the maid saw that it was the emperor and knelt down hurriedly, "This servant greets the emperor."

"Get up." The emperor said and walked inside.

Suddenly, a fragrance came to his nose. The emperor took a deep breath and quickened his pace.

"Hahaha, good. There is nothing better in this life than fine wine and delicious food. Wanwan is right. I can die without regrets today if I can eat such delicious food."

"Queen Mother, you will surely live a long life." Fang Shiwan took a few sips of wine and his face turned slightly red.

"What are you doing?"

At the door, the emperor's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation of several people.

Xu Zhaoyi stood up hurriedly and said, "I pay my respects to His Majesty."

The emperor looked at Xu Zhaoyi and his heart trembled for no reason. Today, Xu Zhaoyi's face was slightly rosy, her eyes were a little blurry, and she looked shy.

How come he had never noticed this side of her?

"What are you eating?"

"Hot pot." Xu Zhaoyi couldn't help but say.

"Hot pot?" The emperor was a little confused. He had just smelled a fragrance, and now when he walked into the room, he found that the smell was getting stronger.

He walked to the table and looked at the pile of lettuce and raw meat on it. He was shocked. "You...eat this raw meat?"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, you have the same idea as me, right? I tell you, this is a hot pot, so you have to put fresh raw food in and eat it while it's cooking. It tastes better than what your imperial kitchen makes."

There were two pots, one with soup and the other with charcoal fire, with hot steam rising from it, which made the emperor salivate.

Looking at the palace maids around, they were all wiping their saliva.

"Is it really that delicious?" the emperor asked doubtfully.

His imperial kitchen is staffed by famous chefs from the Qian Dynasty, who have been selected through layers of selection.

How could it be better than the food in his imperial kitchen?

"you try."

The empress dowager picked up a piece of mutton with new chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce that Xu Zhaoyi liked, and stuffed it into the emperor's mouth.

The delicious taste spread in his mouth, the aroma of the sauce was something he had never tasted before, the heat burned in his mouth, and he didn't want to spit it out even though it burned his mouth.

"Mmm, it's delicious." He gave a thumbs up.

"Mother, I didn't know that your small kitchen has such a great chef?"

The Queen Mother laughed twice, "This was all prepared by Wanwan."

She stretched out her hand and pointed at Fang Shiwan.
