As for where to send the letter, the Dark Guard Battalion knew.

When Eunuch Zhang carried the sweet potato vermicelli to the imperial kitchen, Imperial Chef Liu had indeed not seen it before.

When he heard that this thing was actually made from sweet potatoes, his surprise was no less than Eunuch Zhang’s when he first heard about it.

Imperial Chef Liu asked uncertainly, ” Eunuch Zhang, is this really something made from sweet potatoes?

Eunuch Zhangs face darkened, and he said sternly, ” Imperial Chef Liu, are you doubting His Majesty’s words?”

Imperial Chef Liu’s face turned pale, and he immediately replied in fear, ” I wouldn’t dare!”

Indeed, Eunuch Zhang had already said just now that this was the sweet potato vermicelli that the Emperor had mentioned. In the end, he was still questioning these words. This was a crime of treason and heresy.

Eunuch Zhang sighed lightly and said, “Chef Liu, please prepare this dish well tonight. His Majesty has invited the Empress and Imperial Noble Consort to have dinner together!”

Chef Liu replied, ” Yes, I understand!”

After Eunuch Zhang left, Imperial Chef Liu’s face was still slightly pale. The letter in his hand was almost soaked in sweat.

When he realized it, he panicked again. When he opened the letter and saw that the handwriting was still clear, the stone in his heart finally fell.

Although Chef Liu had never made sweet potato vermicelli before, he had the recipe in his hands. With his skills, it was easy for him to make a dish that looked, smelled, and tasted good.

That night, the emperor, empress, and concubine ate very happily.

“Emperor, what dish is this? Why haven’t I eaten it before?” Imperial Concubine Zhou asked in a coquettish voice.

In fact, the chef only made pork stewed vermicelli with sweet potato vermicelli for dinner.

The Emperor immediately smiled and asked, Beloved Consort, how do you think this dish tastes?”

Imperial Noble Consort replied, The meat is tender and not greasy. This strip is elastic and chewy, and it’s salty and fragrant. I have never eaten it before, but I feel that it is very delicious!”

When the Emperor heard this, he nodded and said, ‘i Yes, my beloved consort is right. This dish is indeed delicious. However, today is also the first time I’m eating it!’

Imperial Consort Zhou was stunned at first, then she said happily, ” Your Majesty, is this your first time eating this dish? That would truly be my honor!”

The Emperor smiled and nodded. Then, he asked Empress Chen, who had been silent and eating quietly, Empress, how does this dish taste?”

Empress Chen said lightly, ” It’s good!”

Hearing the Empress’s reply, the Emperor immediately picked up his chopsticks happily and put the vermicelli into her bowl. ” Since Empress thinks it’s good, then eat more! Look at your body. You’re so skinny that you don’t have much meat left. In a while, I will have Eunuch Zhang go to the imperial kitchen to bring some to the Palace of Earth Peace. Oh, no, in the future, when there is this dish, the Empress can share it with me!”

Empress Chen replied with neither joy nor anger, Thank you, Your Majesty!’

As she spoke, she picked up the vermicelli from the bowl and put it into her mouth.

The Emperor was delighted to see this.

The Empress’s appetite was shockingly small. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so thin.

Now that the Emperor saw she had eaten two more mouthfuls of this sweet potato vermicelli, he immediately made up his mind to get the Empress more.

Imperial Consort Zhou watched the interaction between the Emperor and Empress and was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief under the table.

However, the expression on her face did not change. She still had a smile on her face and looked very happy.

As soon as Noble Consort Zhou returned to the Moon Palace, she threw the things in her hands and smashed several vases in anger.

She gritted her teeth and said, ” Chen Wanyue!’

When Imperial Concubine Zhou’s nanny, Nanny Wang, saw this, she immediately shot a look at a young eunuch.

After Noble Consort Zhou vented for a moment, Granny Wang looked at the things that had been thrown on the ground and went forward to ask, ” Your Highness, weren’t you accompanying the Emperor to eat? Why are you so angry?” Moreover, it seemed to be related to the Empress.

For this dinner, Noble Consort Zhou had dressed up for several hours.

Granny Wang didn’t expect that her master would come back in anger after going there in high spirits.

Noble Consort Zhou said angrily, ‘i Not only did the Emperor ask me to accompany him, he even called that slut Chen Wanyue!’

Granny Wang immediately exclaimed, ” Aiyoyo, my lady, be careful that the walls have ears!” Scolding the Empress as a slut was a serious crime. Even if her master were favored by the Emperor, she would still be reprimanded and punished by the Emperor..
