After chewing it twice, the emperor's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "I've never eaten this way before. How come it's so unique? The meat is soft and tender without being greasy, and it has its own unique fragrance. The flour on top is very granular, very sweet and delicious, and it can also relieve greasiness."

The emperor's eyes lit up immediately after he finished speaking. He looked at Wanpin curiously and asked, "Who is the chef who prepared today's dishes? Is he your personal chef in the palace?"

Seeing this, Wanpin hesitated for a moment and explained, "Your Majesty, this is not my personal chef in the palace. This is the chef in the imperial kitchen named Su Zhizhi, the girl who won the chef competition some time ago."

The emperor was slightly stunned after hearing this, and blurted out subconsciously, "Oh, it turned out to be her."

When Concubine Wan heard the emperor's words, she immediately became suspicious and felt that the emperor seemed to know Su Zhizhi.

"Your Majesty, do you know this chef?" Concubine Wan couldn't help but ask tentatively.

The emperor nodded and answered truthfully, "Yes, I have met her several times before. She is a clever and skillful girl."

After hearing this, Wanpin felt very upset. She immediately felt that she was being used. According to her guess, Su Zhizhi had met the emperor and learned that she was the emperor's favorite concubine, so she deliberately made so many delicious foods to bribe her and then took the opportunity to show her presence in front of the emperor, and finally replaced her and climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed.

Thinking of this, Wanpin immediately became angry. She had lived for so long and never thought that one day she would be used as a gun by others.

She would never let Su Zhizhi go, Wanpin secretly made up her mind.

Although she thought so in her heart, Wanpin pretended nothing happened and replied to His Majesty with a smile, "So that's how it is. Since Your Majesty likes it, then I will ask her to cook a few more dishes for you."

The emperor nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, then let her be responsible for my diet."

The emperor waved his hand and said without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Wanpin immediately revealed a forced smile and said, "That's quite good. Your Majesty will arrange it. I will serve you dinner."

After saying that, Wanpin hurriedly picked up a few pieces of food with chopsticks to draw the emperor's attention back.

Upon hearing this, the emperor nodded quickly and continued to concentrate on tasting the food.

At the same time, Su Zhizhi didn't know that she had been targeted by Wanpin.

Early the next morning, in the imperial kitchen.

Eunuch Li suddenly arrived at the imperial kitchen. Everyone in the kitchen immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Eunuch Li."

Seeing this, Eunuch Li nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone, get up. Where is Miss Su?"

Eunuch Li took a look around and spoke.

Su Zhizhi was extremely surprised when she heard Eunuch Li calling her name. She didn't know what was going on, but she still pretended to be calm and walked forward and replied, "Eunuch Li, I'm here."

Eunuch Li saw Su Zhizhi nod with satisfaction, "Okay, Your Majesty has spoken. From today on, you will be fully responsible for His Majesty's meals."

Su Zhizhi was slightly startled when she heard the voice, but she quickly reacted and agreed excitedly, "I understand. Thank you, eunuch."

"Okay, then you must remember to pay attention to His Majesty's meals and don't be careless."

"Thank you for the reminder, eunuch. I will definitely put my best effort into cooking for Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi quickly agreed.

Su Zhizhi makes a living with her own ability, and she is honest and doesn't seem to have any plans, so Eunuch Li has a very good influence on her.

Eunuch Li nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, then smiled and gave Su Zhizhi a few instructions before turning and leaving.

After seeing Eunuch Li leave, Su Zhizhi began to prepare the dishes seriously. She stewed the big bone soup and then cut a few side dishes for herself.

Just when Su Zhizhi was busy, Cui'er, Wanpin's personal maid, appeared.

"Miss Su, is the soup our queen ordered ready?" Cui'er looked at Su Zhizhi and asked.

Su Zhizhi quickly pointed to the location of the soup, "It's right there, next to your majesty's pork rib soup."

Cui'er's eyes lit up when she heard the word "Your Majesty". Isn't this God's help to her?

Cui Er didn't show anything on the surface, but nodded lightly and said, "I understand."

After saying this, Cui'er saw Su Zhizhi busy cutting vegetables with her head down, so she quietly took out the powder from her sleeve, and then poured it into the emperor's pork rib soup without anyone noticing. After doing this, Cui'er pretended nothing had happened and took Wanpin's soup away. Su Zhizhi had no idea what had just happened and was still concentrating on cutting her own vegetables.

At noon, Chef Su came to the kitchen to check.

Soon after he entered the door, he was completely attracted by the food cooked by Su Zhizhi. He stood beside Su Zhizhi and watched her cook.

After a while, the aroma of the pork rib soup in Su Zhizhi's pot instantly attracted the attention of Chef Su.

"This soup smells so good." Chef Su couldn't help but say.

Su Zhizhi was slightly startled when she heard the words, then without hesitation, she took out a spoon beside her, scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to Chef Su, "Since Chef Su likes it, then try it."

Chef Su was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously said, "This is not very appropriate, right? After all, this is food for the Emperor."

Su Zhizhi smiled and said, "What if I ask Chef Su to taste the food and see if it suits Your Majesty's taste?"

When Chef Su heard this, he immediately understood what Su Zhizhi meant. Since Su Zhizhi said so, he would not be polite.

"Okay, then I'll try it for you." After saying that, Chef Su took the bowl from Su Zhizhi's hand and tasted it carefully.

In an instant, Chef Su was conquered by Su Zhizhi's soup. "The bones are stewed until soft and tasty. It's really good. The soup is also very delicious. Very fresh and just right."

Chef Su couldn't help but praise.

However, just a moment after Chef Su tasted the soup cooked by Su Zhizhi, he immediately felt a cramp and discomfort in his stomach.

This frightened Su Zhizhi, who was standing by. She quickly asked Chef Su with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Chef Su waved his hand in pain to indicate that he was fine. The next second, Chef Su rushed to the toilet without hesitation with a pale face to relieve himself.

After a while, Su Dachu, who had already eaten a lot, came out of the kitchen with a satisfied look on his face.

"It's okay, I just have diarrhea." Chef Su explained to Su Zhizhi.
