“In reply to the Grand Empress Dowager, it’s pretty good. Great Ming’s delicacies are much more varied than those of the Northern Continent. I’ve gained a few pounds after eating these few days.” Princess Zhi Shan smiled.
“Alright, alright, as long as you like it. If you need anything, just let the people from the Ministry of Rites know. They will help you prepare everything.” The Grand Empress Dowager looked at her lively and innocent appearance and replied with a smile.
After that, she asked Mrs. Liu to prepare tea and snacks for them.
As for Princess Jiarou, she only smiled the entire time and didn’t say anything. She sat down with Princess Zhi Shan and started drinking tea.
The Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager looked at Princess Jiarou with a lukewarm expression and were somewhat displeased.
However, no one said anything.
Instead, they asked them about the situation in their hometowns, including the local customs.
The Emperor even introduced them to the Great Ming’s situation.
As they talked, they talked about wine and finally brought up the Grassland Taste Restaurant.
Zhi Shan’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “The dishes at Grassland Taste Restaurant are great, especially the beef and mutton. They’re even more delicious than the beef and mutton we usually eat.
“Oh right, that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup is really too delicious. Unfortunately, there’s no preferential treatment at all. I even had to send people to queue for two days to get one.”
“Haha, to tell you the truth, even if we wanted to eat it, we would have to order it a day or two in advance.
“Their boss is doing this for fairness.
“Otherwise, with so many officials in the capital, wouldn’t it be chaotic if the high officials suppressed the low officials and the low officials suppressed the commoners?
“So I feel that this reservation method is great for everyone.”
“Why won’t they make more?”
“It is said that there are two reasons. One is because of the ingredients. There are a lot of sea products inside, and there is a shortage of them in winter. Without a reservation limit, it will not be enough for everyone.
“Also, it takes half a month to prepare that pot of soup from start to finish. If they need to prepare too much, they won’t be able to handle it.”
“Oh, it’s that troublesome?”
“Yes. It’s said that dozens of ingredients are needed for one pot of soup.”
“Oh my god, the person who invented this dish is really amazing.”
“Indeed. If Miss Zhou dares to claim that she’s second in terms of food, no one would dare claim that they’re first. Even the royal chef can’t compare to her.” “Miss Zhou, who is it? She doesn’t sound very old.”
“She’s Marquis An Le’s wife and also the Empress’s cousin-in-law. I’ll introduce you to her if there’s a chance in the future.”
“Really? That’s great!”
The two of them chatted for more than two hours. After the Grand Empress Dowager asked them to stay for a meal, she let them out of the palace.
After they left, the Grand Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor and Empress and asked, “What do you think of them?”
“Princess Zhi Shan looks innocent and passionate at the moment. In my cousin-in-law’s words, she’s a foodie with no bad intentions.
“Princess Jia Rou is very unpleasant. She always has a cold and indifferent look on her face, as if someone owes her a million taels of silver.” Gu Wanning replied.
“Indeed, Jiarou is obviously against the marriage alliance. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so cold to us.” The Grand Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor. “Pay more attention to the Western Continent. Don’t let them cause any more trouble.”
“Don’t worry, Imperial Mother. I’ll keep an eye on them.” The Emperor nodded.
After that, he instructed the Grand Empress Dowager to keep an eye on the consort selection and went to the study to get busy.
When he was almost done, the Emperor asked Eunuch Qian to invite King Ning over to dinner.
“Seventh brother, do you remember Princess Jiarou?” The Emperor asked after the meal.
