Quickly wear the heartthrob: Peach Blossom Beauty Fululai

Shen Qingjiao was very modest and smiled faintly, "I am just completing an important step in the Long March. You must always remember that the final opponent of this mission is Ye Junchen, the King of Anling."

The system calmed down instantly and sighed, "Yes, it's too early to be happy. Ye Junchen easily defeated the five taskers. As of now, the outcome is still unknown."

Suddenly, a eunuch's sharp shout came from outside, "The Emperor has arrived—"

Shen Qingjiao suddenly looked at Huo Haochu. Huo Haochu had already reacted. He jumped lightly and jumped onto a big tree with lush branches and leaves next to him.

Emperor Ye Junhong got off the sedan chair.

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Shen Qingjiao's unparalleled beauty, and his irritability caused by the busy government affairs was immediately reduced by half.

"No need to be so polite, my dear." He took a few steps forward and helped her to stand up.

Shen Qingjiao took a close look at Ye Junhong and easily discovered that his brows were still slightly furrowed. She guessed that he must be worried about government affairs.

She smiled slightly and opened her red lips.

"How about I tell Your Majesty a joke? I hope Your Majesty will be relieved of your sorrow after listening to it."

Ye Junhong nodded appreciatively.

Roupin was truly a gentle and eloquent woman. Knowing that he was in a bad mood, she took the initiative to help him relieve his worries.

Huo Haochu, who was on the tree, felt a little sad in his heart.

This witch really has some abilities. He has never seen His Majesty laugh so happily.

I just don’t know what kind of image he would have in the witch’s mind?

Would she think that he was a brave but foolish warrior?

Shen Qingjiao's clear voice was as sweet as an oriole singing out of a valley, as she told the story in her heart.

"Once it was raining, and a talented man named Xie was walking on the road. He accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. People saw him and gathered around to laugh at him."

"But the talented scholar was neither humble nor arrogant. He stood up and sang a poem, which embarrassed those who laughed at him."

"Oh, what poems did he write?" Ye Junhong suddenly became interested.

Shen Qingjiao's eyes flashed with a sly smile, "The poem goes like this: Spring rain is as precious as oil, it flows all over the street. Scholar Jie slipped and fell, and a group of cows laughed to death."

Hearing this, Ye Junhong couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, this talented scholar is really eloquent and quick-witted!"

"He compared the spring rain to oil, cleverly exonerating himself. After all, no matter who it is, if the soles of his shoes are stained with oil, he will easily slip and fall. It is a natural thing, so there is no need for people to make a fuss."

"And oil is a precious thing, which is to remind others that he fell in the spring rain which is as precious as oil, not in the stinking ditch, so it is not shameful at all."

"After that, he made another incidental attack by comparing those who laughed at him to cows, implying that they were ignorant and boring."

Shen Qingjiao smiled and said with relief, "Seeing Your Majesty smile, I am already satisfied."

Ye Junhong's heart was filled with tenderness. He lovingly took Shen Qingjiao's hand, only to feel her skin as smooth as milk, and his heart softened again.

He patted the back of her hand gently and said in a gentle voice, "I heard that my beloved concubine went to the Queen's place today. Did you suffer any injustice?"

Shen Qingjiao smiled and shook her head, her voice charming, "Your Majesty cares about me, I am overjoyed, but the Queen and my sisters treat me very well, I feel as comfortable as if I were back home."

"You are so sensible that it makes me feel distressed." Ye Junhong sighed slightly, and hugged her involuntarily, with his big hands loosely around her slender waist.

He had already heard reports from his subordinates that the Queen invited all the concubines to Kunning Palace under the pretext of flower viewing, but in fact she was taking the opportunity to suppress and isolate Concubine Rou.

But when he asked, Concubine Rou said nothing, and even forced a smile, saying some nice words to gloss over the situation, because she didn't want him to worry about these things.

How could he not be moved by such a considerate and charming woman?

Ye Junhong felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen and knew that he was aroused, but the timing was not right.

He could only reluctantly let go of Shen Qingjiao and sighed slightly, "My mother is not feeling well. Even with the beauty in my arms, I can't do anything. I can only let you go for the time being. I will go back to Yangxin Palace to handle government affairs first, and come to see you when I have time."

"As long as Your Majesty has me in his heart, it is enough." Shen Qingjiao bowed slightly, her posture graceful and elegant.

"You are not greedy, which is very much to my liking." Ye Junhong laughed loudly, turned around and walked out of Yongshou Palace.

"Farewell, Your Majesty." Shen Qingjiao said with a smile.

After seeing the emperor off, she looked up at the big tree where Huo Haochu was hiding, and found that he was not there. She didn't know when he left.

Shen Qingjiao ignored him.

Next, she needs to make a lot of money to complete the system tasks.

Because, if she really had a military conflict with Ye Junchen, then she would have to earn enough money to ensure the supply of food and fodder for the army's rear.

However, before the plan is officially implemented, she wants to make a small attempt first.

So, she wrote down a list and asked Zhu Ling to go to the imperial kitchen to get the ingredients according to the list.

Not long after, Zhu Ling came back.

She said respectfully, "My Lady, the ingredients are ready and placed in the small kitchen. What do you want to eat? I will make it for you."

Shen Qingjiao smiled and shook her head, "I will cook for you myself, you can just help me."

"Yes, your majesty." Zhu Ling replied.

But she was puzzled. The queen had never done any cooking before, so how could she learn how to cook?

Your Majesty, are you joking?

When she followed the Empress into the kitchen, she realized how wrong she was.

This is because the Empress's knife skills are not inferior to those of the famous chefs in the palace, and are even slightly better.

Just like now, when processing bamboo shoots, the empress easily cuts the bamboo shoots into slices of even thickness.

The next moment, she cut the bamboo shoots into evenly thin strips.

Zhu Ling took a closer look.

The bamboo shoots are as thin as silver threads and are neatly stacked on the chopping board.

She couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed, "Madam, your knife skills are truly amazing."

Shen Qingjiao looked at her surprised expression with her mouth half open, and smiled, "That's nothing. I'm going to debone the yellow croaker next. If you learn how to do it, you can do it yourself."

"Deboning yellow croaker?" Zhu Ling was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out. "Just hearing the name, it sounds difficult."

Shen Qingjiao laughed and shook her head, "You just need to master the steps and tricks, it's not difficult at all."

After cleaning the yellow croaker, Shen Qingjiao first removed the scales and gills, and then asked Zhu Ling to bring her a pair of chopsticks.

Zhu Ling was obviously startled.

What are you doing with chopsticks at this time? Is the Queen going to start eating fish? But the fish is still raw and will give you diarrhea if you eat it!

But since the Empress had given the order, she could only obediently hand over a pair of chopsticks.

Then, Zhu Ling saw that the queen inserted the chopsticks into the belly of the yellow croaker through the gills, twisted the chopsticks twice, and then pulled them out with force.

At this moment, the chopsticks actually brought out the fish's internal organs!!!

Zhu Ling then understood that the Queen wanted chopsticks not to eat the fish, but to use the chopsticks to skillfully remove the internal organs from the fish belly.

"Your Majesty is so awesome." Zhu Ling couldn't help but applaud.

Shen Qingjiao smiled faintly, took a knife and cut the yellow croaker in half, placed the blade on one side of the yellow croaker bone, placed it flat against the lower end of the bone, and cut all the way from head to tail, successfully removing the bone.

"Deboning yellow croaker looks simple, but it is not easy at all to make. Your Majesty's cooking skills make me deeply impressed." Zhu Ling praised.

After processing the yellow croaker and putting it in the steamer, Zhu Ling saw that the queen actually put a handful of sesame seeds into the lard.

Is this still possible? Zhu Ling was shocked.

She thought about it and couldn't figure it out, so she couldn't help asking, "Madam, why is this?"
