Chapter 508 I really want to take it away and keep it for myself

Qi Yizheng was really hungry after hearing what Concubine Tao said. He wanted to ask Concubine, since you know so many ways to cook, why don't you arrange it? It's not impossible to open a barbecue restaurant!

The King of Northern Yan did not expect that a concubine in the inner palace who had never done any housework would know all these things, and he became even more curious about Concubine Tao.

Qi Yizheng frowned deeply when he saw that the Yan official was becoming more and more enthusiastic. Why did he feel that this man had some ill intentions towards his concubine?

Just when he was about to urge her again, Eunuch Zhang came.

Eunuch Zhang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has not seen you and is very worried, so he sent me to ask you to go back."

Tao Yanyan hummed, and helped Qingfeng stand up, "Lord Mu and General Qi, let's go back together. There will be a dessert at the end of the palace banquet, which is a new one I have researched. You two lords should go and try it."

The King of Northern Yan was delighted: "Your Majesty actually knows how to cook? That's really rare!"

I thought to myself, no matter how bad it tastes, I have to try it to please the beauty.

Qi Yizheng's eyes lit up. Nothing his concubine cooked was bad. So he had to go back and eat it quickly. Even a double portion!

After they returned to the main hall, the palace maids served the last dessert one after another.

It was a soft and fluffy egg cake baked into the shape of a small fish, symbolizing "abundance every year."

People who had never eaten this kind of snack were naturally attracted to it. Everyone tried it. The fragrant, sweet and soft taste after taking a bite made people want to eat the second piece after eating the first one.

It’s a pity that each person only had one piece, so I couldn’t really enjoy it.

A lady asked shyly, "I don't know how to make this dessert. Can you give me the recipe so we can make some to entertain our guests?"

He Linzhang also thought it was delicious. He looked at Tao Yanyan and said, "This is a new way of eating snacks that the imperial concubine has researched. It's called egg cake. It seems to be made of flour and eggs."

Tao Yanyan nodded and said, "I have given this recipe to Xiang Man Yuan. If you want to eat it, you can go to Xiang Man Yuan to buy it. Xiang Man Yuan also has different shapes to choose from."

Qi Yizheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had been too busy recently and hadn't been back to see his sister and future wife for almost half a month. He didn't expect them to launch new products.

The King of Northern Yan ate the cake, but it became more and more sour.

He couldn't help but look at the Great Zhou Emperor, thinking that they were all emperors, so why was your concubine so talented? Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a lovely personality. Not only did she have a lovely personality, but she could even cook?

Well, I really want to take it away and keep it for myself!

The seed of King Bei Yan's obsession with Tao Yanyan was planted here. He secretly swore in his heart that he must strengthen the State of Yan and annex the Great Zhou in the future. By then, not only would the Great Zhou be his, but Concubine Tao would also become his!

The palace banquet was coming to an end, and the empress dowager had already returned to Changchun Palace with several concubines.

He Linzhang stood up, said a few words, then came to Tao Yanyan and helped him up: "Let's go, I will go back with you."

The two of them walked out hand in hand, with everyone looking on respectfully.

Princess Qinghe glanced at Prince Yong standing beside her, and then at her royal brother who was in the Yan State delegation. She saw that both of them seemed to have their eyes on Concubine Tao, and she was furious.

She really couldn't understand why her royal brother, knowing the true identity of Concubine Tao, still looked at her like that?

Suddenly an idea popped up in her mind, and Princess Qinghe couldn't help but be shocked!

"Could it be that my royal brother has also fallen in love with that vixen?" she thought to herself.

Although this idea was incredible, her heart instantly sank to the bottom when she thought that her royal brother was the kind of person who was unconventional and had no taboos.

After He Linzhang and Tao Yanyan washed up and lay down, He Linzhang asked casually, "You seemed to have talked a lot with the Mu from Yan State tonight."

Tao Yanyan looked at him with amusement: "It was just a few words, Your Majesty, are you...jealous?"

He Linzhang looked away: "He is not as handsome as me, why should I be jealous?"

He Linzhang put a quilt behind her, helped her to lie down, and massaged her feet to reduce the swelling.

"But then again, Your Majesty, Mu Chenfeng always gives people a strange feeling." Tao Yanyan said seriously: "Tonight is the second time I have seen him. In fact, the last time I saw him at the wedding banquet at Prince Yong's Mansion was the first time. He has a kind of looming domineering aura..."

Before she finished speaking, He Linzhang came forward and gently bit her lips: "Domineering? I don't like you praising other men like this."

Tao Yanyan: “…”

She put her arms around He Linzhang's neck and said coquettishly, "Oh, Your Majesty, please listen to me and finish what I have to say. This is my intuition. I always feel that there are some things about this person that are quite similar to Your Majesty, that kind of noble demeanor that only an emperor has."

He Linzhang frowned slightly: "Yan Yan, are you saying that he might be a member of the Yan royal family?"

Tao Yanyan nodded: "Yes, could it be that a prince from Yan State sneaked into the delegation and came to Da Zhou specifically to gather information?"

He Linzhang became cautious: "Although the Yan Kingdom sent a princess to marry, their King of Northern Yan is a warlike person. I think he is submitting now in order to compete with the Great Zhou in the future. He is sleeping on straw and eating bitter food."

Tao Yanyan did not want a war to happen. She advised, "Your Majesty should be prepared for danger in times of peace. Since Your Majesty has already thought of this, I will not say much. As for Mu Chenfeng, whether he is a prince of Yan or an ordinary official, Your Majesty should send someone to keep an eye on him privately. As long as he does not cause trouble in the Great Zhou, he can go back after the New Year."

He Linzhang nodded and stroked her belly with both hands: "I will definitely maintain a peaceful and prosperous era so that you and your child can live a stable life in the future."

On the first day of the New Year, Qi Yizheng was summoned by the emperor to the palace to discuss matters in the imperial study.

Qi Yizheng looked sleepy and complained, "Your Majesty, you can't use even cattle and horses like this. Today is the first day of the new year, and everyone is on holiday. Why was I summoned? I have been busy with court affairs and have not even had time to prepare for my wedding. I was supposed to take my fiancée back to her hometown today to pay tribute to her parents."

He Linzhang raised his eyebrows slightly: "How about I give you a long vacation? Is one year enough? Or two years? Didn't you see that I am also working today?"

Qi Yizheng rubbed his hands and softened all of a sudden: "No, no, forget about the long vacation. If I take a long vacation, I won't have any salary, and without salary, I won't be able to support my family. My fiancée who loves to eat needs a lot of money just for food!"

He Linzhang then said unhappily, "Don't worry, you won't work for nothing. The Imperial Concubine has prepared a large food box for you, and it will be given to you after you receive the task."

Qi Yizheng's eyes lit up, and he said hastily, "I wish I could help Your Majesty every day. Your Majesty, please rest assured and leave the matter to me."

So, He Linzhang expressed his suspicion about Mu Chenfeng's identity and asked Qi Yizheng to deploy the surveillance mission.

When Qi Yizheng heard this, he also became cautious. After receiving the order, he took two large food boxes and hurried away.
