Chapter 555

Outside the empress' bedroom, beautiful court ladies holding all kinds of exquisite dishes were lined up, waiting to enter the palace.

The head of the imperial kitchen stood anxiously by the side, waiting for the summoning of the Empress of the Red Dust, in his heart he did not have too much expectation for this dinner, he only hoped that the Empress of the Red Dust would scold him at most, and not to do anything else punish.

After waiting for a while, the door of the sleeping hall opened, and the woman in Tsing Yi walked slowly outside the hall, glanced at the chief cook who was standing by the side, and said, "Let's serve the meal."

The chief cooker immediately asked the maids to put the dishes in their hands into the bedroom one by one, but he didn't go in. In his capacity, if the empress summoned him, he absolutely couldn't step into the empress's bedroom without authorization.

"God bless you, Your Majesty, please don't be too angry this time." The plump head of the imperial kitchen waited silently in his heart.

In the sleeping hall, the Empress Hongchen was still sitting cross-legged in the curtain, as if she was in a state of cultivation, and the woman in Tsing Yi directed the maids to place the dishes on the long table.

There are a total of eighteen dishes, which are the minimum standard for the meal of the Red Dust Empress.

According to the rules of the royal family in the past, the emperor had at least 80 dishes for a meal, and sometimes it would reach more than [-] dishes.

Because the Empress Hongchen didn't care much about meals, she allowed the imperial dining room to prepare meals with minimum standards.

The woman in Tsing Yi stood in front of the curtain and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, dinner is ready."

The Red Dust Empress opened her eyes, and the woman in Tsing Yi immediately stepped forward and opened the curtain.

The Empress of the Red Dust was wearing a slightly loose golden robe, her bare feet were smooth and white, her long hair was scattered behind her back like a waterfall, and her expression was a little lazy.

All the court ladies present lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the Red Emperor, and the woman in Tsing Yi also lowered her head slightly in front of the Red Emperor.

Lian Hongchen stepped on the slightly cold ground with bare feet, and walked slowly to the long table, glanced indifferently at the eighteen dishes on the table, but didn't say a word.

The atmosphere in the dormitory was a bit dignified and depressing. The Hongchen Empress didn't speak, so everyone naturally didn't dare to speak.

Lian Hongchen's eyes finally fell on the sauced pig's trotter that looked out of place in the corner.

Almost all of these eighteen dishes are exquisite and pleasing to the eye, but the sauced pig's trotters are the only ones that are too eye-catching among these dishes.

It's really that the sauced pig's trotters are too ugly. As long as you are not blind, you can tell at a glance that the sauced pig's trotters are completely different from the other seventeen dishes.

But Lian Hongchen stared at the sauced pig's trotters in a daze. Although she hadn't tasted it yet, she already felt the kindness and familiarity from the sauced pig's trotters.

But immediately Lian Hongchen's face darkened, and the atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became extremely depressing.

"Qing'er, where is the head of the imperial kitchen?" Lian Hongchen asked with a very cold tone.

Qing'er, that is, the woman in Tsing Yi said immediately: "Your Majesty, the head of the imperial kitchen is waiting to be summoned outside the hall."

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

Qing'er immediately walked out of the sleeping hall and brought the chief cook in.

After the head of the imperial kitchen came to the bedroom, he didn't dare to look at the Hongchen Empress at all, so he knelt down on the ground and bowed to the Hongchen Empress: "My humble minister sees Your Majesty!"

Lian Hongchen didn't speak yet, but just snorted, and the head steward of the imperial kitchen trembled all over, kowtowing to Empress Hongchen again and again.

"As I said, Ning Heng prepares the dinner alone. Among the eighteen dishes, how many were cooked by Ning Heng?" Lian Hongchen asked in a deep voice.

Hearing the words, the head chef of the imperial kitchen groaned secretly, he was really afraid of something.

"Um, I dare not expire Your Majesty. Among the eighteen dishes, only one is made by Ning Heng, and the others are all cooked by me." The head chef did not dare to lie at all, he knew that lying in front of the Hongchen Empress What happened, I can only tell the truth.

"Bold!" Qing'er sternly shouted, looking at the head of the imperial kitchen with sharp eyes, as long as the Hongchen Empress gives an order, she will take the head of the imperial kitchen and behead her.

The head of the imperial kitchen was so frightened that he repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, and explained: "Your Majesty! It's not that I disobeyed the holy orders on purpose, but that Ning Heng first came to the imperial dining room and his cooking skills became more refined. I was afraid that what he made would dissatisfy His Majesty. , and this is for him.”

Lian Hongchen frowned: "You should do what I tell you to do. Even if I am not satisfied, Ning Heng is the one who will be punished. What does it have to do with you?"

The head of the imperial kitchen said yes again and again.

"Retract all the other dishes, and leave the dish that Ning Heng made." Lian Hongchen said.

Qing'er immediately ordered the maid to send the other seventeen dishes back to the imperial dining room intact. As for the head chef of the imperial dining room, he couldn't really escape the punishment, and was ordered to be punished thirty times by the empress of the world.

Although it was said that he was punished, but not only did the head chef not feel any distress, on the contrary, he went to accept the punishment happily.

The stick duty is only thirty, which is nothing to him at all. Although he is the head of the imperial kitchen, his cultivation level is not bad, and his physique is not inferior to ordinary warriors, even if he cannot use the kung fu to resist the stick duty. , the executioner will also use aura to carry out the stick punishment, but the strength of the body is here, and the thirty stick punishment is at most a flesh injury.

After the dishes were removed, Lian Hongchen looked at the only dish left on the table, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, completely ignoring the greasy sauce, and directly grabbed it in his hand.

Qing'er was dumbfounded by the side, is this still the mortal empress who is spotless and looks like a holy goddess?How dare you hold such a crude thing in your hands?

What the Empress of the Red Dust did next left Qing'er stunned even more.

Seeing Empress Hongchen bite on the sauced pig's trotter, tore off a large piece of meat in a very ugly way, and swallowed it like a jujube, even if her face was stained with oil, she didn't care, and looked intoxicated.

"That's what it tastes like!"

Empress Hongchen was in a great mood, ignoring Qing'er, who had already looked dumbfounded, and kept gnawing on the pig's trotters with both hands. In a short time, a large plate of sauced pig's trotters was completely wiped out by Empress Hongchen. The plates were licked.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Qing'er felt dizzy and rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was hallucinating?Is this still the empress of mortals that I fear and admire the most?

After Lian Hongchen ate the sauced pig's trotters, he looked at the sauce on the plate with unsatisfied interest, and really had the urge to lick the plate.

However, considering that he was already very imageless just now, if he hugged the plate and licked it again, Qing'er beside him would really faint.

"Qing'er, tell me to go down, and Ning Heng will reward you in the imperial dining room."
