Chapter 160: Dragon's Face
As soon as he heard that the person in charge was about to announce the ranking, He Jingjing's heart was about to be raised.
Of course, all the players present were very nervous, after all, this was the crucial last moment, just like the college entrance examination in the previous life, and the fate of the last hammer was in the hands of the emperor.
"The first place He Jingjing, the second place Yan Ruyu, the third place Cai Shishi. After the announcement, the heart of the person in charge was finally relieved, and he could finally sleep well when he went back tonight.
He Jingjing was relieved, she had finally done it, and she could finally be exempted from the death penalty!
He Jingjing didn't know that Ye Haixuan was also coming over today, but she just glanced at the crowd, and saw Ye Haixuan beside the prefect, very surprised and very happy.
Seeing He Jingjing looking at him, Ye Haixuan also responded with a smile, wishing He Jingjing a successful start to the competition.
Your happiness is shared with you, which will undoubtedly magnify your happiness many times, and He Jingjing really feels this now.
Before seeing Ye Haixuan, He Jingjing's heart was still at the level of "it's finally over", but after seeing Ye Haixuan, it became a real joy.
Did it yourself!
Looking at He Jingjing's "triumphant" face, Yan Ruyu and Cai Shishi's teeth were about to be crushed, and they couldn't wait to put He Jingjing into the oil pot and fry it now.
"Isn't it just a clown who makes eighteen dishes, what is there to be proud of, see how I fix her in the future. Yan Ruyu thought in her heart.
Just when several families were happy and a few worried after He Jingjing won the championship, the eldest princess stood up.
"Your Majesty, this kid has prepared another dish that will surely surprise you. The eldest princess came to the emperor and said to the emperor.
As soon as he heard that He Jingjing had actually prepared other dishes, the emperor suddenly reacted.
That's right, according to the rules of the game, each player must prepare two dishes, and although there are eighteen small bowls, this "eighteen bowls" is indeed one dish.
Everyone present also reacted, and they all watched the emperor's reaction with amazement.
"I thought that these eighteen bowls were eighteen dishes, and there was no need for another dish. The emperor nodded at the eldest princess, and then said.
The eldest princess was a little surprised to see that the emperor was not curious about another dish at all, and then she thought about it and understood, after all, the ranking of the competition had been decided, if He Jingjing suddenly had an extra dish, wouldn't everyone have to work again again?
But His Majesty the Emperor must see this dish so that He Jingjing's identity can be proven.
"Your Majesty, this is what He Jingjing did to honor you alone, just take a look. The eldest princess recommended He Jingjing's second dish to the emperor again.
Seeing that the eldest princess was so persistent, the emperor couldn't afford to save the eldest princess's face, so he finally nodded.
"Then He Jingjing, bring your second dish to me to see if it is worth the eldest princess's recommendation three times or twice. The emperor summoned He Jingjing over, and then said to He Jingjing.
The eldest princess nodded at He Jingjing, He Jingjing took a deep breath, took the order, and then came to the kitchen to start frying the steak she had prepared early in the morning.
That's right, in order to ensure that the emperor can eat the steak at just the right temperature, He Jingjing is now freshly cooked in the imperial dining room.
But fortunately, the steak and ingredients He Jingjing had already prepared in advance, and now they only needed to be put in the pot, so it didn't take long for He Jingjing to make them.
"Why haven't you come yet, don't you say it's ready?" Concubine Yan asked impatiently on the side.
"Concubine Yan is a little restless, and she will come in a while. The eldest princess said to Concubine Yan.
At this moment, the Mid-Autumn Festival feast has been held normally, and of course the dishes of the contestants cannot be eaten well by so many ministers and emperors, so the imperial dining room has prepared other food.
From dessert soups to various dishes, they are now served one after another, and they all taste very good.
The prefect on the side was very happy to eat, but Ye Haixuan, who loved food, felt very tasteless.
First, these dishes are not as brilliant as He Jingjing's eighteen bowls, and they are always dull when they eat by themselves. The second is that He Jingjing didn't know why he was called by the emperor just now and then disappeared, and he hadn't appeared until now, Ye Haixuan felt very worried.
"Why don't you eat it, how delicious is this?" Seeing Ye Haixuan's absent-minded face, the prefect was a little curious, what could make Ye Gongzi, who was a good delicacy, ignore the delicacy of the imperial dining room?
"Eat it, I'm a little worried about Jingjing. Ye Haixuan shook his head, and then explained to the prefect.
The prefect looked in the direction of the eldest princess, then at the emperor, and then smiled at Ye Haixuan.
"Don't worry, everything over there has the eldest princess, and you can only worry about it now. As he spoke, the prefect sandwiched a steamed bun for Ye Haixuan, and then patted Ye Haixuan on the shoulder.
Seeing that the prefect said so, and personally sandwiched the dishes for himself, Ye Haixuan also sat up straight, and then began to taste the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room.
After a short time, He Jingjing made a steak and came to His Majesty the Emperor with the steak.
"He Jingjing serves!" The person in charge of the imperial dining room was still very dissatisfied with He Jingjing's appearance, he should have eaten happily below, but he had to bring up the heart he had just put down for the sake of He Jingjing.
Hearing the voice of the person in charge of the imperial dining room, everyone became very curious, and hurriedly straightened up to look in the direction of He Jingjing.
The emperor was also very curious about what the eldest princess highly recommended.
When the emperor saw the contents of the plate clearly, his brows furrowed and his face became very ugly.
Seeing that the emperor actually reacted like this, He Jingjing's heart was in her throat, and she was afraid that the Son of Heaven would be angry and her life would be guaranteed.
But the eldest princess cast a reassuring gaze again and nodded at He Jingjing.
Here, Ye Haixuan also felt His Majesty the Emperor's suddenly cold face, as well as his frowning brows, and his heart also raised his throat, and the prefect on the same side also patted Ye Haixuan's shoulder, asking him to calm down a little.
But after a while, the emperor suddenly began to laugh.
"Hahahaha!" The emperor looked at He Jingjing and smiled very happily, which made everyone present wonder.
Looking at He Jingjing, His Majesty the Emperor brought another piece of steak to his mouth, and after tasting it carefully, the Emperor nodded.
"Yes, that's the taste, hahaha!" The emperor looked at He Jingjing with a happy face.
