I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 896: Feast your eyes before you eat

Following Old Madam Xue, First Madam Huo Chanyu, and Second Madam Zheng Suyao, they came to the yard where the big kitchen was located.

The closer we got, the stronger the aroma coming from the big kitchen became.

The people in Qingyi stayed in the courtyard diligently all the time.

At this moment, seeing the Empress and Madam Xue walking into the courtyard, they all knelt down and saluted, "Greetings, Empress!"

The three of them spoke in loud voices, which was equivalent to informing Leng Rongyue in the kitchen.

Leng Rongyue naturally heard it.

She quickly walked to the large rectangular table in the kitchen and with a wave of her hand, she transferred all the dishes that had already been prepared in the space from the space to the large rectangular table;

She then extinguished the fires on the stoves and quickly walked out of the kitchen. She greeted the approaching Empress with a deep bow and said, "Your Majesty, your servant greets you!"

Before Leng Rongyue could bend her knees, Empress Luan Xiying had already taken a few quick steps to support Leng Rongyue, holding her hand. "Good child, we are at home, no need to be so polite!"

Queen Luan Xiying saw Leng Rongyue wearing a light and playful apron, which made her look particularly cute. She couldn't help but smile and said, "What delicious food did our little cook make?"

"Your Majesty, please come in with me and take a look!"

Leng Rongyue tilted her little head and said with a sweet smile.

"Okay!"

Queen Luan Xiying followed Leng Rongyue into the big kitchen and saw more than a dozen dishes on the table, all in double portions.

Except for the four dishes placed on one side of the table, which were obviously cold dishes, the rest were still steaming hot, obviously freshly prepared.

"smell good!

Yue'er, why did you do so much!

Are you exhausted?

Queen Luan Xiying patted Leng Rongyue's little hand and asked with concern.

Leng Rongyue smiled and shook her head, "Your Highness is not tired.

All I can cook are some home-cooked dishes. I hope Your Majesty will like them!"

"luv't!"

The Queen said hurriedly.

"Don't even mention tasting it, even just smelling it makes me love it so much!

This fragrance is so tempting!"

"Your Majesty, these dishes were just prepared by me. If they get cold, the taste will be worse.

Now, shall we let them serve the food?"

"Yeah!"

Queen Luan Xiying nodded quickly.

Seeing that the Empress had nodded in agreement, Leng Rongyue immediately ordered Qingyi, "Bring them in and send the dishes here to the second hall's flower hall to prepare the meal for the Emperor and the Empress!"

"Yes, young lady!"

As Qingyi responded, the shadows of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum around Mrs. Xie;

The beginning of spring, summer, autumn and winter around Madam Huo Chanyu;

Hongxia, Caixia, Yunxia and Wanxia, ​​who were beside the second wife Zheng Suyao, walked in one after another from outside.

He first bowed deeply to the Queen Mother, and then placed the dishes on trays one by one and carefully carried them to the flower hall in the second hall.

The four people in blue, green, and purple accompanied and protected him all the way...

Even the first and second wives apologized to the Empress first, and personally followed the maid who delivered the meal all the way to the flower hall in the second hall.

The guests invited to the banquet in the palace today are the current emperor and the empress, and there is no room for any mistakes!

In the flower hall of the second hall.

Today, there is a large round table on each side of the hall.

The maids placed the dishes on two large round tables and then carefully retreated.

Leng Rongyue accompanied Queen Luan Xiying and Old Madam Xue to the second hall.

Entering the flower hall, Leng Rongyue first bowed deeply to Emperor Hongde, "Your Majesty!"

"Forget it, Rongyue, please stop being so polite!"

"Your Majesty, thank you!"

Leng Rongyue was pulled by Queen Luan Xiying and stood up.

"I heard that you made all the dishes today yourself. Thank you for your hard work!"

Emperor Hong De said in a gentle voice.

"Your Majesty, you are too serious!

What I prepared today are just some home-cooked dishes. I hope Your Majesty and Your Majesty will not dislike their simplicity!"

"how come?

Just by smelling this flavor... I can't wait to taste it myself!"

Emperor Hong De said with a smile.

"In that case, Your Majesty, the Empress, and Prince Yi, please take your seats quickly. The food will taste bad if it gets cold!"

"well!"

Emperor Hongde smiled and nodded, and accompanied by Xiao Jingyu, the father and son of Duke Anguo, and the brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu, he sat down at the table on the east side;

Old Madam Xue, First Madam Huo Chanyu and Second Madam Zheng Suyao sat at the round table on the west side with Queen Luan Xiying.

Seeing that everyone had taken their seats, only Leng Rongyue was still standing, Emperor Hong De asked in confusion: "Rongyue, why don't you sit down too!"

Leng Rongyue knelt slightly and replied, "Your Majesty, today's main dish - roast duck - has not been served yet!

This dish needs to be prepared by me on the spot!"

"Oh?

Rongyue, to be honest with you, your mother and I came here today just to try the roast duck you made!

Since you're going to make it right in front of us, doesn't that mean... we can feast our eyes before we feast our mouths?"
