Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

Black Hawk frowned as he stared at the food on the table, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.

Damn it, he couldn't control himself when faced with the food made by this vixen.

It must be sorcery, sorcery.

Black Hawk hurriedly took two steps back: "This subordinate dares not."

"Why wouldn't I dare? I brought you here specifically to sample this. You'll know how I feel once you try it. Come on, come on, don't be shy!"

The emperor said as he stuffed shrimp dumplings into his mouth, completely absorbed in the delicious food.

As for the Song family army and the Liao dynasty, they were completely forgotten.

Black Hawk wanted to continue refusing, but he had a premonition that if he tried it, his reason would be gone forever.

"Your subordinate..."

"Dog, help Black Hawk." The Emperor interrupted Black Hawk.

Black Hawk was taken aback, not understanding what the Emperor meant.

But Zhao Gou understood. He picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling and placed it near the black eagle's beak without saying a word.

"Commander Black Hawk, I'll personally feed you, just open your mouth." Zhao Gou's tone was somewhat obsequious.

Black Hawk's face darkened, and he wanted to continue refusing, but a fresh scent rushed into his nostrils, mixed with a very faint wheat aroma.

Gollum—

He couldn't help but swallow.

My mouth opened instinctively, accepting the crystal shrimp dumpling.

The crystal-clear skin is smooth and chewy, with a tender texture. The filling inside is extremely fragrant, with dense and smooth shrimp paste, tender and bouncy shrimp pieces, and melted pork fat, adding a rich, oily aroma to the shrimp dumplings.

Meanwhile, the crisp and refreshing bamboo shoots and water chestnuts complement the sweetness of the shrimp. Each bite is clean and refreshing, making you want to have another bite.

"Hey, Commander Black Hawk, well done! Shall I feed you another bite?" Zhao Gou said from the side, coaxing him like a child.

Black Hawk blushed and snatched the chopsticks from Zhao Gou's hand: "I don't need yours."

The next moment, he started stuffing crystal shrimp dumplings into his mouth with his chopsticks.

He was still mumbling incoherently, "Delicious, delicious, so delicious."

"So there really are such delicious things in the world."

"What kind of magic is this? This tastes delicious!"

He actually tried to hand over the beautiful and kind-hearted Lady Shen to the enemy; he deserves to die!

Black Hawk stuffed crystal shrimp dumplings into his mouth one after another, which shocked the emperor. He quickly protected his plate, afraid that Black Hawk would snatch it away.

Although he is the emperor, this is food made by Lady Shen herself. There's no guarantee that Black Hawk won't go crazy over it.

"The sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes and oil tea are also delicious. Commander, you can eat slowly," Shen Qing said.

Black Hawk felt inexplicably embarrassed, and his gaze towards Shen Qing carried a hint of shame.

I regret it so much. He shouldn't have said those things this morning.

Why didn't he meet Lady Shen sooner?

"Thank you, Madam Shen, thank you very much."

Black Hawk blushed and took a big gulp of the oil tea beside him.

Occasionally, you'll bite into crushed peanuts or walnuts, and the aroma of roasted nuts bursts in your mouth, creating a crisp texture that contrasts sharply with the smooth, creamy texture of the oil tea paste.

One bite and it felt wonderful.

Black Hawk's eyes lit up. This stuff was like porridge but not quite. He swallowed it in one gulp, and his mouth was still oily and delicious. It was absolutely amazing!

Then, he turned his gaze to the sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes on the white porcelain plate.

click-

The caramel crust crumbled, releasing a sweet aroma. My teeth touched the glutinous rice cake inside; the outer layer was crispy, while the inside was soft and chewy.

Take a bite and you can pull out extremely fine glutinous rice strands, and the aroma of roasted sesame seeds is unforgettable.

"It smells so good, really good," Black Hawk couldn't help but exclaim.

The emperor said with a hint of smugness, "How about that? I didn't lie to you, did I? Now you understand how I feel, right?"

He said that absolutely no one could resist Madam Shen's delicious food.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I shouldn't have suggested the terrible idea of ​​sacrificing Lady Shen. Can our Great An not function without Lady Shen?"

Black Hawk looked regretful. Such delicious food was so good that he wanted to eat it again after just one meal. If he couldn't eat it anymore, he would really be craving it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing raised an eyebrow: "Sacrifice??"

Why must she be sacrificed?

The emperor sighed: "You dog, tell Lady Shen this."

Zhao Gou nodded and explained the current situation and Black Hawk's previous analysis to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing frowned: "So, at this critical moment when the Great An Kingdom is teetering on the brink of collapse, you all came here specifically to eat??"

The emperor was embarrassed: "...I just wanted Black Hawk to have a taste of the food."

"Lady Shen, rest assured, we will never sacrifice you!" the emperor added.

Shen Qing: "..."

It's really hard to give a proper evaluation.

The emperor was truly incompetent beyond belief.

If that's the case, wouldn't Da'an's rule be overthrown very soon? There would be no need for her prayer candle at all?

That seems quite convenient, so why doesn't she just use delicious food to lure the emperor and let him wait to die on the spot?

But if that happens, the royal family will be overthrown, but the world will be thrown into chaos.

The Song family and the Liao people are probably all bad news.

Shen Qing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he pondered the matter.

Sigh, I don't understand.

She was just a cook, and her best skill was cooking. As for fighting and vying for power, she really had no talent for it, let alone experience.

worry.

She misses the modern world a little, where everyone is equal and there are no class distinctions, and she can just focus on cooking without worry.

Ugh.

Shen Qing let out a long sigh.

"Alas!" The emperor also sighed deeply.

Zhao Gou sighed, his face long and sullen.

"Sigh!!" Black Hawk also let out a long sigh.

Eating is a happy experience, but once you're full, you still have to face reality.

Leaving aside the Liao Kingdom, the Song army has been advancing towards the capital. While they are eating, the Song army may have already captured another city in Da'an.

It's distressing, truly distressing.

"His Majesty."

Just then, Black Hawk spoke up.

"I have a desperate measure."

Hope ignited in the emperor's eyes: "Speak, speak quickly!"

"To catch the thief, first catch the king. Madam Shen is highly skilled in martial arts. Why not let her lead the Black Hawk Guard and kill the Song family father and son directly? Without the Song family father and son, the Song family army will be in chaos. In this way, we may have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

Shen Qing: "???"

What?

Send her to fight in the war?

She's just a cook.

This is a terrible idea. It would be better to send her to the Liao Kingdom and let her quickly conquer the princess who was married off to the Liao Kingdom for political reasons.
