My subjects are too rebellious!

On the other hand, Zhang Rang personally supervised the cleaning work. He required the chefs to use the purest water to repeatedly rinse the duck intestines until there was no impurities or odor inside.

After a busy period of intense work, finally, plates of jade-white and crystal clear duck intestines were placed on the chopping board.

Zhang Rang looked at the carefully prepared ingredients in the Shangshenjian with satisfaction. Each one was strictly selected and processed according to Qin Chuan's requirements, and he personally checked them over and over again.

After confirming that everything was correct, he ordered his eunuchs to pack the ingredients into exquisite food boxes one by one. Each food box was sealed tightly to keep the ingredients fresh and warm.

Everything was ready. He coughed lightly and then said loudly, "Thank you for your hard work. Follow me to deliver these ingredients to the Qianqing Palace. Be careful and don't make any mistakes."

Zhang Rang pointed at a few young eunuchs and said.

Upon hearing this, several young eunuchs immediately stepped forward and respectfully took the food box. They knew that this was a meal prepared for the emperor, so naturally they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Zhang Rang walked in front, passing through one palace gate after another and heading towards the Qianqing Palace.

Along the way, they walked fast and steadily, fearing that anything might happen to the delicacies in the food boxes.

Zhang Rang looked back from time to time to ensure that the team was in order.

Finally, they arrived in front of the Qianqing Palace. Zhang Rang signaled the young eunuchs to stop and he went forward to report.

Soon, he was summoned and he slowly walked into the hall with the young eunuchs.

Then he placed the food boxes in front of Qin Chuan one by one.

As Zhang Rang and the young eunuchs opened the food boxes one by one, the dishes immediately filled the table.

Qin Chuan's eyes were attracted by the steaming copper hot pot in the middle. The soup in the pot was boiling and the aroma was overflowing.

He smiled slightly and motioned for the palace maids to come forward and serve him.

Two palace maids walked lightly to Qin Chuan's side. One of them held a long pair of chopsticks and was responsible for taking the ingredients out of the food box and gently putting them into the hot pot.

The other one held an exquisite porcelain bowl and a silver spoon, ready to scoop the cooked food for Qin Chuan at any time.

He first picked up a piece of beef slice as thin as a cicada's wing and gently put it into the hot pot. After it changed color, he quickly took it out, dipped it in a special sauce, and put it into his mouth.

Then, he tried various ingredients such as lamb slices, duck intestines, and beef tripe. Each one was carefully selected and processed, with different tastes but all extremely delicious.

Two palace maids stood beside Qin Chuan with skillful movements.

They always pay attention to Qin Chuan's needs, whether it is adding soup, adding dishes or delivering tableware, they do it just right.

After tasting all kinds of delicacies in the hot pot, Qin Chuan's taste buds seemed to be completely awakened, and he suddenly remembered another delicious crab.

These are the fish caught from the seaside and sent to the capital by fast horses. They are all fresh and big.

He smiled gently and said to the maid beside him: "I want to taste the crab today, but peeling the shell is a bit tedious."

When the palace maid heard this, she immediately understood what he meant and her face flushed, but she soon regained her composure.

She replied softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will prepare it right away."

After saying that, she turned and left, and soon returned to Qin Chuan with a plate of carefully selected crabs and a set of clean tableware.

The maid first washed her hands carefully to make sure there was no trace of dust, then she picked up a crab and began to peel the shell skillfully.

I saw her first cut off the crab's legs and claws with scissors, then gently opened the crab shell, and carefully picked out the crab roe and crab paste with special tools and placed them in a porcelain plate beside her.

Then, she carefully peeled the crab meat from the crab, trying to keep each piece intact.

Soon, a plate of golden crab roe and crystal clear crab meat appeared in front of Qin Chuan, exuding an enticing aroma.

Qin Chuan looked at the crab meat in the palace maid's hand. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of crab meat and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully.

The crab meat was so tender and juicy, and the richness of the crab roe made him close his eyes and indulge in the deliciousness.

Seeing this, the palace maid beside her was also filled with joy.

It is a great honor to be able to serve the emperor.

So, she peeled the crab more carefully...

........

After Qin Chuan carefully savored the crab meat peeled by the palace maid, he closed his eyes contentedly, then slowly opened his eyes, picked up the white silk handkerchief beside him, and gently wiped the corners of his mouth.

Then he took the warm tea handed to him by another palace maid, took a sip, and used it to rinse his mouth to wash away the food residue in his mouth.

After rinsing his mouth, Qin Chuan put down the teacup. He raised his hand and said to Zhang Rang beside him, "Zhang Rang, order someone to take these away."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rang immediately bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and winked at several young eunuchs in the hall.

The dishes and cutlery on the table were removed quickly and orderly, but Zhang Rang had other plans in mind.

Life in the palace was not easy, and every serving of food was hard-earned, not to mention that these dishes were very clean and had not been fully eaten.

So he quietly instructed the eunuch beside him to carefully preserve the leftovers and prepare to reward them to the eunuchs and palace maids who worked hard every day.

The young eunuch nodded and left with the food box.

..........

After lunch, Qin Chuan sat upright in a chair, holding a book in one hand and a teacup in the other.

Tea not only helps digest food, but is also an indispensable element in Chinese culture.

Afterwards, Qin Chuan fell into a nap. This short rest was an important way for him to adjust his state.

But for some reason, he had a dream...

In Qin Chuan's dream, he traveled to a bizarre world of cultivating immortals.

This world is shrouded in clouds and mist, with magnificent mountains and rivers, and is full of mystery and unknown.

Qin Chuan found himself in an ancient cave, surrounded by all kinds of magic weapons and elixirs. The air was filled with a faint spiritual energy, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

At this moment, a cultivator in a long robe and with a stern face slowly walked into the cave.

The immortal cultivator looked Qin Chuan up and down, and with a sneer on his face, he said, "You are lucky to be able to break into this place. However, your bloodline is quite interesting. If I can refine you, the level of my bloodline will definitely be able to reach a higher level."

Qin Chuan was horrified when he heard this. He tried to struggle, but found that his body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and he could not move.

He could only watch the immortal cultivator approaching step by step, his heart filled with despair and unwillingness.

However, just as the immortal cultivator was about to take action, he suddenly stopped and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He murmured to himself, "The Immortal Venerable regrets, but I do not. For power, I am willing to pay any price, including sacrificing the lives of innocent people."

This sentence exploded in Qin Chuan's mind like thunder, and he seemed to see the struggle and contradiction deep in the heart of the immortal cultivator.

At the same time, he also realized that in this world of cultivating immortals, power and desire can often distort people's minds and make them become cold-blooded and heartless.

Just as Qin Chuan was immersed in this complex emotion, the dream suddenly changed.

He found himself enveloped by a powerful force, and his body began to undergo subtle changes.

It turned out that at the critical moment, a mysterious power hidden in his body was stimulated, helping him to break free from the restraints and successfully escape the clutches of the immortal cultivator.

After waking up, Qin Chuan still felt a lingering fear.

"Interesting, so interesting."
