Everyone praised one after another, and the emperor and queen couldn't help but nod when they saw this situation, and the person he fancied was naturally not bad.

"Thank you, gentlemen, for your compliments!" Hearing this, Sheng Zhiyao responded humbly.

"Okay, now that you've tasted it, it's time to go back, right?" The emperor said.

"Yes! Resignation!"

When the ministers heard this, they got up and left.

"Grandpa Huang, you brought them here on purpose, right? I also made a point to ask the guards to avoid the route you took."

"You girl, always so smart, your imperial grandfather and I are here for you to think about it in the future." The queen laughed and joked with Sheng Zhiyao.

Sheng Zhiyao pursed her lips: "Grandpa Huang, I think you want to show off your granddaughter-in-law's cleverness!"

"Haha...... This kid is boasting about yourself." The emperor smiled heartily.

The queen smiled and shook her head, "This kid is getting naughty and naughty."

"She's a mischievous master, I love it! The palace should also be lively."

"You're the one who knows how to protect your shorts!" The queen said with a smile.

The queen looked at Sheng Zhiyao, her eyes full of pampering.

"Okay, Grandpa Huang will sit here with Grandma Huang, I'll go prepare dinner, and they should come later." Sheng Zhiyao said to the emperor and queen with a smile.

The emperor looked at her and nodded, "Go ahead."

Sheng Zhiyao left with a smile, leaving the queen and the emperor in place.

As soon as Sheng Zhiyao walked into the imperial kitchen, he saw Li Yi busy around the stove.

Seeing Sheng Zhiyao walking in, he hurriedly greeted him.

"County Lord, you're here."

Sheng Zhiyao nodded: "Li Yi, have you practiced the recipe I gave you recently?"

When Li Yi heard this, he immediately nodded: "Don't worry, the county lord has serious practice every day, and even the queen mother praises me for my good skills!"

"Well, that's good." Sheng Zhiyao nodded.

"But...... County lord, today's queen's birthday, in previous years, it was a big banquet, but this year is different just a family banquet, the slave is a little uneasy, and the slave is afraid of ......" Li Yi wanted to speak and stopped.

Sheng Zhiyao knew what Li Yi was worried about: "Don't worry, just make some home-cooked dishes."

"That slave understands, please feel free to command!"

Sheng Zhiyao looked at Li Yi and smiled, "Okay! I'm going to teach you a few new dishes today."

After speaking, Sheng Zhiyao stepped aside, picked up the board, and began to prepare dinner.

"County Master, do you need the help of a minion?" Li Yi walked to Sheng Zhiyao's side and spoke.

"No, I'll do it today, and you'll be in charge of doing it."

When Li Yi heard this, he immediately nodded.

"Li Yi, hasn't Grandpa Yuan come to the Imperial Kitchen recently?" Sheng Zhiyao asked suddenly.

Li Yi shook his head: "Although Manager Li is the head of the imperial kitchen appointed by the emperor himself, Manager Li does not often come to the imperial kitchen, unless the emperor has any special orders."

"Really?" Sheng Zhiyao frowned.

Li Yi looked at Sheng Zhiyao's expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, County Lord?"

"It's nothing, so now you're in charge here?"

"Yes, since you promoted me to be in charge, the emperor has ordered that the servants will be in charge of this place while Lord Li is away." Li Yi replied respectfully.

"It's good that you're in charge here! The one who cooks food just has to keep a pure conscience."

Sheng Zhiyao said with a smile, and then continued to handle the materials with his hands and feet.

"The minion understood." Li Yi replied respectfully.

"The main thing is to clean this place and not pollute the environment."

Sheng Zhiyao continued to admonish.

When Li Yi heard this, he hurriedly agreed, "Yes, the slave knows."

Dinner was ready, and Sheng Zhiyao and Li Yi brought the dishes to the table respectively.

"Imperial grandfather, imperial grandmother, you can have dinner~" Sheng Zhiyao said with a smile.

The emperor and queen smiled and nodded.

"Sister, I said why did you and Yuanchen go out so early, it turned out that they came here to make a banquet for the queen's mother." Sheng Hangu walked up to Sheng Zhiyao with a grin.

"Third brother, what are you talking about, Grandma Huang is a birthday star today, isn't it normal for me to cook a meal for her!" Sheng Zhiyao glared at Sheng Hangu unhappily.

"Yes, yes, yes~ The queen is a birthday gift from our three brothers, I wish the queen a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity better than Nanshan." The three brothers of the Sheng family knelt down and kowtowed together and handed over the brocade box.

"Oh? What is this?" The queen opened the brocade box and saw a golden necklace lying quietly in the box, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I've never seen this style before, it's really beautiful!"

"This is the Golden Phoenix Necklace, which was jointly created by our three brothers, although the drawings were drawn by Zhi Yao, but the actual operation was made by our three brothers." Sheng Hangu explained with a smile.

The emperor looked at the golden necklace and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really beautiful."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." The three brothers of the Sheng family said in unison.

"Lanvain, I'll put it on for you." The emperor picked up the necklace in the brocade box and put it on the queen, "This chain looks good on you."

"Really?" The queen said shyly, "Then I will wear it often."

"You~" The emperor patted the queen's hand dotingly.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother, this is a gift from the ministers and the lady, please accept it." Sheng Zhengye and Qi Xinyue presented the gifts.

"You have a heart." The queen nodded.

Sheng Zhengye and Qi Xinyue looked at each other and smiled.

"Now that everyone is here, let's eat and sit down." The emperor greeted.

"yes, okay!" Sheng Zhiyao responded.

As soon as he sat down, the old marquis Sheng took out a small brocade box and put it between the emperor and the queen.

"It's ......"

"This is a little bit of the minister's heart."

"You old man, you are just stingy, you want to send us away with such a small box?" The emperor pretended to be displeased and looked at Sheng Zhengye.

"It's not for you, what are you anxious about!" Sheng Zhengye replied disdainfully.

"Hey! You stinky old man, you can't hold back if you don't scold you for a day, right?" The emperor glared at Sheng Zhengye dissatisfied.

"Humph!" Old Marquis Sheng snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore the emperor.

"Hehe~~" Sheng Zhiyao looked at the two of them with a smile, then picked up the brocade box and opened the lid of the box, and saw a jade bracelet lying inside.

The jade bracelet is snow-white, the jade is delicate and flawless, crystal clear, as if it has just been cut.

Sheng Zhiyao looked at the jade pendant, and then at the old marquis Sheng.

Seeing this, Old Marquis Sheng hurriedly explained: "This jade bracelet was opened from a stone I saw when I was collecting medicine in Jiangbei back then, and the best part was made into this jade bracelet, and it is a rare piece of beautiful jade, I will give it to the two of you, I hope you will never lose your heads."

As soon as Old Marquis Sheng's words came out, the emperor also looked at Old Marquis Sheng happily: "You still have some eyesight."

As he spoke, the emperor snatched the jade bracelet from the old marquis's hand and stuffed it into the queen's hand: "Lan Wen, put it on and try it."
