A rich fragrance wafted over.
Old Li, who was originally only 80% full, instantly became 30% full, and his stomach began to rumble.
He craned his neck and looked in the direction of the kitchen.
Under Li Chengqian's command, the servants of Yiqiu Palace served the dishes on the table.
There were only six dishes and two bowls of rice.
"Imperial Father, quickly eat. Your son is about to faint from hunger!”
Li Chengqian called out to Old Li and started eating heartily.
In the Cheng Manor, he had casually eaten a few pieces of beef and waited for those old fellows to drink for a long time.
At this time, he was already extremely hungry.
One had to admit that the cooking skills of Yiqiu Palace's chefs had improved greatly under Li Chengqian's guidance.
Although he could not compare to the chefs of the hotel in the future, it was not a problem for him to cook a few home-cooked dishes.
Moreover, to be able to be a chef in the palace, one's knife skills and fire control were top-notch existences.
When they became familiar with cooking, their progress would naturally be considerable.
Old Li also picked up his chopsticks at this time. In fact, when he smelled the fragrance just now, he was already hungry.
However, as the Son of Heaven, he still had to be reserved. After all…
"Hiss! Isn't this too delicious?"
Just now, he was still thinking about being reserved and not losing his composure in front of his little rascal.
However, when Old Li picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth, his expression immediately became surprised.
When he was at the Cheng residence, he had wondered why his little rascal was not interested in a table full of delicious food.
Now, Old Li finally understood.
It turned out that this little rascal often ate such delicious food. After getting used to eating good food, of course, he would eat the dregs no matter how bad it tasted.
If it were Old Li, he would probably not have much of an appetite for Cheng Yaojin's family's food.
Just as Old Li was in a daze, Li Chengqian had already finished a bowl of rice.
As for the six dishes on the table, he had also eaten half of them.
"Men, bring over half a bowl of rice for bengong!”
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Old Li finally let go of his reservations.
What kind of joke was this?
If he had been more reserved, perhaps this table of dishes would have been finished by Li Chengqian.
Old Li didn't have time to wonder why his little rascal would have such delicious food. He also joined the ranks of those who were hungry.
The only sound left in the palace was the sound of rice being eaten and the crisp sound of chopsticks touching plates.
After a while.
Old Li and Li Chengqian put down their bowls and chopsticks comfortably. The food on the table had long been swept clean.
"Rascal, when did you have such delicious food here?”
Only then did Old Li have the time to ask about this matter.
Li Chengqian blinked his eyes and said,"Not long. It's something that happened recently."”
Old Li had a look of disbelief as he glared at Li Chengqian and said,"
"Not long? You brat actually didn't think of coming over to show filial piety to zhen and your mother. How preposterous!”
"And…Haha, Father, it was actually made in the past two days.
I was just about to go over to show my filial piety to you and Imperial Mother, but you discovered me first!”
Li Chengqian laughed and said.
Old Li didn't believe this kid at all.
When he came over just now, this guy was still urging him to leave. He was clearly planning to eat it all for himself!
Thinking of this, Old Li smiled maliciously and said,
"Chengqian, since you are already prepared to be filial to your mother and zhen, then choose a day that doesn't come.
Today, I'll hand over the chef from Yiqiu Palace to Imperial Father to bring back.
When the time comes, Imperial Father will arrange a few chefs from the imperial kitchen for you. What do you think?”
Since you want to eat alone, then I will take away your chef.
Hmph, you're still far from being petty with me!
Li Chengqian really did not expect Old Li to make such a request.
He was stunned for a while before he said,"
"Father, this…"
"Alright, you don't have to say anything more. It's getting late, so zhen will go back first.”
Seeing his little rascal's stunned expression, Old Li's mood was indescribably comfortable.
He directly interrupted Li Chengqian's words and instructed the old eunuch beside him,
"Bring all the chefs back. Remember to send a few more people from the imperial kitchen tomorrow.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After making some arrangements, Old Li left with the chefs of Yiqiu Palace.
Li Chengqian was left standing alone with a strange expression on his face.
After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Ignoring the essentials and pursuing the trifles, buying a drop in the bucket and returning the pearl, I guess that's the situation now!
There wasn't even a wok. What was the use of bringing Chef back?”
Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he thought of Old Li's smug look as if he had taken a huge advantage.
"When the old man understands the whole story, his expression will be extremely rich!”
Li Chengqian thought so.
And the truth was just as he had expected.
The next morning, Old Li returned to Li Zheng Hall after the court session ended. He ordered the chefs he brought back from Yiqiu Palace last night to start working.
However, after waiting for a long time full of anticipation and even bragging to Empress Zhangsun for a while…
When he realized that the food served was no different from usual, Old Li was instantly furious.
What are you guys trying to do?
You can make delicious food for Li Chengqian, that brat, but when it comes to this emperor, you're starting to be perfunctory?
When the chefs who were brought over saw Old Li's ashen face, their legs went weak in fear.
However, they did not know what they had done wrong.
It wasn't until Old Li's face was filled with anger as he asked his doubts that the chefs started to feel wronged.
"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to cook for you, but the imperial kitchen doesn't have a wok!”
Stir-fry? Wok?
Hearing these two words, Old Li was stunned and said in a deep voice,
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Why can you do it with the Crown Prince?”
The chefs quickly grabbed onto their life-saving straw and said,"
"Your Majesty, that wok was made by His Highness the Crown Prince.
However, the stir-fry can only be cooked with a wok. Without a wok, there's nothing we can do!”
It was Empress Zhangsun who couldn't stand it and whispered,"
"Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for these servants. You might as well call Gao Ming over and ask him.”
Old Li grunted and waved the chefs away impatiently.
However, when he thought of calling that brat over for questioning, Old Li's expression became a little awkward.
Last night, he thought that he had caused trouble for that brat, but it seemed that was not the case.
"That brat definitely knows the truth, but he just kept it to himself. This brat is too bad!”
Old Li thought to himself.
