Chapter 349: Food Shows Its Power

"Your Majesty, I'm serving you food. ”

With that, He Jingjing pushed the door and instructed the subordinates to start serving.

"This dish is called 'clear water out of hibiscus', and it uses the freshest rice field fish of the day, paired with fresh lotus seeds and lotus roots, which is the most fresh and sweet. ”

"This dish is called 'Pearl Jade White Jade Soup', although it is only Chinese cabbage soup, but it uses the most refined old hen soup, which brings the umami of Chinese cabbage to the extreme. ”

Every time a dish came up, He Jingjing explained it again, and the last dish was served for most of the day, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prefect Ye Haixuan, who watched it, were overwhelmed, and their index fingers moved.

"Okay, the dish is finished, please use it, the emperor. After finishing the dishes, He Jingjing waved her hand to the servants, and all the subordinates left according to the rules, leaving only a few palace maids who served the emperor's cloth vegetables.

Looking at the more than forty dishes in front of him, the emperor felt that his stomach had never been so hungry.

Thinking about it for more than an hour, He Jingjing couldn't make any delicious dishes, and the emperor was ready to eat steak to deal with a meal, but he didn't expect He Jingjing to make a table of good dishes, there were forty-three dishes.

This is simply a big surprise, the emperor feels that he has nothing to do after a tiring journey, if he can eat this kind of good meal in a carriage for a day and a night, then the emperor has no objection.

"Now that the dishes are ready, let's get started. The emperor said that he was going to have a bowl of pearl jade and white jade soup, and just as the emperor instructed the palace maid to serve the soup for himself, He Jingjing spoke up.

"Slow, Your Majesty, you are particular about eating these dishes. He Jingjing's words made the emperor a little irritable.

"What's important, you can finish it all at once. The emperor's impatient attitude made He Jingjing very satisfied, and now the more the emperor feels impatient, the greater the significance of this meal.

"Your Majesty, this table of dishes is called 'Manchu and Han Banquet', which integrates all the essence of all the cuisines in the north and south of the river. Of course, it takes a bit of effort to eat such a grand dish. ”

He Jingjing praised the Manchu Han banquet first, and everyone was amazed.

"First of all, you have to tie this bib so that it looks formal, and secondly, the order of eating the dishes is also particular, you have to eat cold dishes first, then hot dishes, and finally stir-fried vegetables. ”

After He Jingjing finished speaking, the emperor frowned, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the side was a little stunned.

"The stir-fry is so fast, why don't you eat the stir-fry first and eat it last?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really couldn't figure it out.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know that the hot stir-fry juice was insufficient, and only when it was a little cooler, the soup in the dish would seep out, and at that time the dish would taste enough wrapped in soup. ”

He Jingjing was simply talking nonsense with her eyes open, but her expression was very serious, and everyone present believed what she said.

"What do I want to eat, I have to follow your rules?" the emperor asked with some displeasure.

"Your Majesty, yes. He Jingjing nodded and said firmly.

"Even I have to eat according to your rules?" the emperor continued to squint and asked He Jingjing.

"Yes, even if you are the emperor, you have to follow the rules of the Manchu and Han banquets, so that you can eat smoothly and eat well. He Jingjing continued to talk nonsense with her eyes open.

"Hmph, what rules are not in order, this whole country is mine, I can eat as much as I want, where can I tolerate others to set up any rules for me!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he instructed the palace maid to continue to serve chicken soup to himself, but He Jingjing took a step ahead of the palace maid and picked up the spoon in the chicken soup.

"He Jingjing, what do you mean?" the emperor frowned, and asked He Jingjing in a slightly threatening tone.

"Your Majesty, you have to follow the rules when you eat the full banquet of the Han Dynasty. None of the people present thought that He Jingjing was so stubborn, but they only thought that He Jingjing was pursuing the ultimate in cooking, so they didn't say anything.

"I have already said that the whole country is mine, and I am the rule!" The emperor didn't want to get angry before eating, so he patiently warned He Jingjing.

"Rules, you can't even protect your own people, what rules do you need!" He Jingjing was not to be outdone, and said in the same tough tone.

As soon as He Jingjing said this, the audience was shocked, and the prefect closed his eyes, thinking about how to give this impulsive daughter this time.

He Jingjing's words are disobedience to the emperor, in other words, it is a great rebellion, if the emperor investigates it, He Jingjing may not be able to save his life.

After all, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, in this feudal society, the imperial power is supreme, and he dared to speak out to provoke the emperor to disobey the emperor, He Jingjing is simply impatient.

"Jingjing, why don't you apologize to the emperor soon?" the prefect sighed and stood up to mediate.

"Your Majesty, my goddaughter is usually negligent in discipline, and she also pursues the ultimate in cooking, so it's a little rude, and please don't punish the emperor, if you want to be punished, just punish me for being a godfather." ”

The prefect pleaded with the emperor again, and he was regarded as a peacemaker.

In fact, whether this matter is big or not, whether it is small or not, it depends on what kind of attitude the emperor has.

Everyone's palms sweated for He Jingjing, and the emperor was silent.

The emperor understood the meaning of He Jingjing's words, in the matter of the envoys of neighboring countries, it was indeed the other party who was making trouble.

In fact, before coming to the state capital, as soon as the envoys of neighboring countries complained, the emperor arranged his secret guard to investigate the matter, so the emperor understood the ins and outs of the matter very clearly.

But he couldn't hold back the other party's reluctance, so he had to give an explanation, so the emperor came to Linzhou Mansion to see what kind of attitude Ye Haixuan and He Jingjing had, and by the way, he would make a private visit and do a public opinion poll.

Who knew that He Jingjing was so impulsive, and she directly picked out the matter, it was really a headache, it was exactly the same as her father, and they were all masters who couldn't afford to lose.

"Father, the imperial sister just likes cooking too much, and accidentally fell into the devil, so she spoke impulsively, and asked my father not to blame. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also stood up to intercede with He Jingjing, and the prefect, Ye Haixuan, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sang and harmonized, all regulating the emperor's emotions.

Seeing these people pleading for themselves, He Jingjing was still very moved, but He Jingjing was not afraid.

Because He Jingjing knows that the emperor will never punish himself, if he punishes himself, the emperor's pattern will be too small, and it will be difficult to achieve a big thing.

But judging from the previous emperor's acting style, he is indeed a good emperor who is affectionate, righteous and capable, so He Jingjing is not afraid.
