Quickly wear the heartthrob: Peach Blossom Beauty Fululai

Shen Qingjiao patiently explained, "I am frying sesame oil. With it, the vegetarian dishes will taste especially delicious."

Zhu Ling nodded, not quite understanding.

It turns out that there is such a thing as sesame oil in the world. She had never thought about it before.

Shen Qingjiao demonstrated it to Zhu Ling personally.

When the vegetables were almost done, Shen Qingjiao poured a little sesame oil into the pot and explained, "Sesame oil not only adds flavor, but also brightens the color of the dish."

Sure enough, a unique sesame aroma wafted over, and the vegetables turned green and shiny.

Zhu Ling sincerely sighed, "My queen can do anything!!!"

Shen Qingjiao smiled sweetly and did not refute her.

About half an hour later, she prepared a table full of delicious dishes and told Zhu Ling to put the dishes into food boxes and send them to the Yangxin Palace.

Emperor Ye Junhong had been reviewing memorials for a long time and was just about to call Wang Mingqing to serve the meal.

Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, he saw Wang Mingqing walking in with a large food box.

Wang Mingqing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou sent a maid to bring the food. According to the maid, these were all made by Concubine Rou herself."

Ye Junhong looked surprised, with a doting smile on his face, "Roupin can also cook? How many more surprises does she have waiting for me to discover?"

At Ye Junhong's signal, Wang Mingqing took out the dishes from the food box and placed them on the table one by one, filling the entire table.

Ye Junhong looked down at the steamed yellow croaker closest to him.

Just looking at its appearance, it feels similar to what the imperial chefs in the palace make, or even... the presentation is even more exquisite?

The yellow croaker was shining with golden light, with cuts on both sides. The fish meat on both sides was rolled outward at the same time. At first glance, it looked like a golden banana fan, with a very novel shape.

What surprised him even more was that all the yellow croaker bones had been removed.

Ye Junhong was very interested and picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

After he tasted it carefully, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that the yellow croaker made by Concubine Rou was more delicious than that made in the imperial kitchen.

This fish has no fishy smell at all, it is sweet and delicious, and the fish meat is just the right tenderness. Just a light sip of the tongue and the fish meat melts away, and the fish fragrance fills the air.

Ye Junhong was very pleased and tried a few more dishes. He found that each one was better than any he had eaten before, with richer flavors.

"Not bad!"

He laughed out loud, looked at the table full of dishes, and thought it would be a waste if he couldn't finish them all by himself, so he called Wang Mingqing, "Go and ask General Huo to have dinner with me."

After Huo Haochu arrived, Ye Junhong pointed at the dishes on the table and praised, "These dishes were all made by Roupin. They taste good. Come and try them."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Huo Haochu answered while his eyes were scanning the table full of dishes.

He was shocked and confused: he never expected that the enchanting woman with fingers as soft and white as green onions could cook, and the dishes looked quite tasty, but he wondered how they tasted.

With a skeptical attitude, Huo Haochu picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth.

After just a few bites, he was petrified.

This chicken is really delicious, with delicate meat, moderate fat, and juicy taste. It is neither greasy nor hard when chewed, and has a rich and fresh flavor that goes straight to the bone marrow.

Looking at Huo Haochu's dazed look, Ye Junhong was also amused and came to his rescue.

"When I tasted the fish just now, I felt the same as you. Concubine Rou's cooking skills are beyond my expectations."

Huo Haochu came back to his senses, looked at the delicious food on the table, and nodded in admiration, "Madam Roupin's cooking skills are really great. I am impressed by her."

Ye Junhong smiled and asked him to taste the steamed yellow croaker.

The dish was some distance away from Huo Haochu's location.

Therefore, Huo Haochu had no choice but to stand up and pick it up, with a slightly larger movement.

Unexpectedly, something slipped from his arms and fell on the dining table.

Ye Junhong glanced down and found that it was a navy blue sachet with an exquisite peach blossom embroidered on it. The peach blossom was delicate and pink, glowing brightly, and emitting a pleasant medicinal fragrance.

He immediately perked up, looked at Huo Haochu and smiled mischievously, "Which noble lady gave you this sachet?"

Huo Haochu was startled and quickly picked up the sachet and put it in his arms.

His face was hot, and he tried to defend himself, "The other party forced it on me, and I didn't want it in the first place."

Ye Junhong's lips curled up, and the smile in his eyes could no longer be hidden. "Oh, that's strange. If the general didn't want it, why didn't he throw away the sachet, but carry it with him instead?"

Huo Haochu felt inexplicably guilty.

He couldn't help but think of Concubine Rou's graceful and charming body, and his mouth went dry.

After thinking for a while, he finally found a legitimate reason and bowed slightly, saying, "Your Majesty, this thing can repel mosquitoes, so I will leave it here."

Ye Junhong glanced at Huo Haochu with a half-smile.

I remember that every time he went on a secret visit, Huo Haochu, with his tall and handsome figure, was always the most popular among the girls.

Whenever they went out, the girls would surround Huo Haochu and compete to give him handkerchiefs, sachets and other gifts.

But Huo Haochu always refused with an expressionless face. If the girls didn't take the things back, he would just throw them on the roadside, without exception.

But now, Huo Haochu hid the sachet in his arms, which showed that he had special feelings for that woman.

Huo Haochu felt quite uncomfortable when Ye Junhong looked at him, but he couldn't explain it properly, so he could only bury his head in his food.

At this time, the eunuch Wang Mingqing stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, Prince Anling has arrived and wants to report to you on the progress of the water conservancy project."

"The second brother has arrived at the right time. Let him in and add another set of bowls and chopsticks." Ye Junhong ordered with a smile.

Ye Junchen came in from outside and saw Ye Junhong's beaming face. He couldn't help but feel curious, "Royal brother looks in a good mood, is there something happy going on?"

"Come sit down and try it. These dishes are all made by Concubine Rou herself." Ye Junhong smiled softly.

Ye Junchen took the chopsticks from Wang Mingqing. Even though he tried his best to suppress his surging emotions, the shock in his eyes was still evident.

Shen Qingjiao can cook? Why has he never heard her mention it?

After a few seconds, he gradually came back to his senses and smiled faintly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The dish closest to him is braised sea cucumber with scallions.

Ye Junchen put the scallion segments and sea cucumber pieces into his mouth.

After he tasted it carefully, he was suddenly so shocked that he was speechless.

The sea cucumber pieces were fresh, soft, glutinous, tender and soft, the green onion segments were crisp and had a rich aroma. It was the most delicious food he had ever tasted.

"This dish is delicious." Ye Junchen sighed, his eyes dim.

Ye Junhong smiled and agreed, "When I first tasted it, my expression was exactly the same as yours. I didn't expect Concubine Rou's cooking skills to be so outstanding."

"Empress Roupin is multi-talented. She can recite poems, dance, and cook very well. I envy my brother the emperor for having such good fortune."

Ye Junchen complimented him half-heartedly, but he felt a dull pain in his heart.

He began to doubt whether Shen Qingjiao was really fond of him when she first met him.

If she really loved him, why did she have such great cooking skills but never revealed a word about it or showed off her cooking skills in front of him?
