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

After going to several places, Zhao Gou finally learned that Gao Quan Hong was serving in Chenghua Palace at that moment.

Chenghua Palace was a palace that the emperor used specifically for amusement, and he spent most of his time there on weekdays.

At this moment, Chenghua Hall was filled with singing and dancing, and was bustling with activity.

The sounds of their playful antics even reached outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, come and arrest me!"

"Here, here, Your Majesty, I'm here."

"Beauty, don't run away!"

"..."

Without a doubt, that foolish emperor was playing his favorite game—blindfolded catching of beautiful women.

Zhao Gou quietly approached the palace gate and saw that Gao Quan Hong was indeed standing to one side, waiting for orders at any time.

He walked up cautiously and lowered his voice: "Grandfather, your son has returned."

"Is the task completed?" Gao Quan Hong asked in a low voice as well.

The hall was filled with the sounds of musical instruments and laughter; the two men's conversation was barely audible.

"It's all set, it's all set. I've selected the five most beautiful women from Ping'an County for the palace. I guarantee His Majesty will be pleased." Zhao Gou smiled cautiously and obsequiously.

"Moreover, my son also acquired quite a few good things on this trip to Ping'an County, which I will send to our ancestor later."

Zhao Gou amassed a considerable amount of wealth in Ping'an County.

Some people wanted their daughters to enter the palace, some didn't want their daughters to enter the palace, and some wanted him to speak well of them to the Emperor.

Anyway, a bunch of people gave him gifts, and he made a fortune.

But he couldn't keep all these things for himself; the vast majority of them had to be given as tribute to Gao Quan Hong.

Otherwise, let alone his property, his life would be in danger.

Therefore, when Zhao Gou returned, he didn't talk about anything else first, but instead brought up the beauty pageant and filial piety matters.

Gao Quan Hong nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you're quite sensible."

"Grandmother, I discovered a wonderful food in Ping'an County. The moment I tasted it, I was reminded of you. I brought this food with me on my way back to the capital today."

Zhao Gou waved his hand, and the little eunuch at the door came in carrying a tray.

Just now, to make it easier to talk, he handed the tray to the eunuch at the door when he entered.

Gao Quan Hong showed little interest in food.

This is the imperial palace. He is the emperor's most trusted eunuch. He tastes all of the emperor's meals first to make sure there are no problems.

He had already tasted all the imperial cuisine, and the chefs in the imperial kitchen were all famous chefs from various regions. Without skill and qualifications, one simply could not enter the imperial kitchen.

In his view, the imperial kitchen had gathered all the wonderful foods in the world.

What amazing delicacies can come from a small county like Ping'an?

Gao Quan Hong: "You certainly have a filial heart."

"Take it to my place; I'll come eat it when I have time."

His expression was indifferent, clearly indicating that he had no intention of eating.

Zhao Gou was a close confidant of Gao Quan Hong, so how could he not see through Gao Quan Hong's thoughts?

If this thing were actually brought to Gao Quan Hong's residence, it would most likely be casually given as a reward to the eunuchs who served him.

Wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

"Grandmother, this food can't wait any longer, it won't taste good if it's left too long. Your son is just trying to be filial, please have a taste."

"Moreover, I'm not bragging, but this food is absolutely wonderful. I've lived in the palace since I was a child and have never even tasted such delicious food before."

Gao Quan Hong became somewhat interested at this moment.

He had taken Zhao Gou as his godson for many years and would often reward Zhao Gou with plenty of food.

Moreover, the people in the imperial kitchen treated Zhao Gou with utmost respect.

In other words, Zhao Gou has eaten a lot of good food in the palace over the years.

There are probably very few foods in the world that could surprise Zhao Gou so much.

"Open it, let me take a look."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou immediately beamed with joy.

To avoid attracting too much attention, he had just covered the small bowl with a small plate.

He quickly took the small plate down and placed the small bowl in front of Zhao Gou.

Gao Quan Hong took a closer look and saw that it contained a chicken foot and a chicken wing tip.

The chicken feet are plump and stretched out, the skin has a semi-transparent and moist texture, and the veins under the skin are faintly visible. The bright red and oily soup coats the chicken feet, and white sesame seeds are scattered everywhere.

The chicken wing tips have a slightly yellowish skin, and you can vaguely see the thin layer of gelatin and delicate texture under the skin. They are covered with chili oil, making them extremely tempting.

After just one glance, Gao Quan Hong couldn't take his eyes off him.

He had eaten so many delicious foods, but he had never seen anything so beautiful and tempting.

Just looking at it makes your mouth water.

He had no other thoughts in his mind. He picked up the small bowl with one hand, without even using chopsticks, and picked up the chicken feet in the bowl with the other hand.

The moment it was taken out, the red oil slowly dripped down, and a few drops even dripped onto Gao Quan Hong's clothes.

But he was completely unaware and opened his mouth to bite it.

The first thing you feel is coolness.

The chili oil is served cold, and the chicken feet are served cold.

Then came a spicy sensation, but not the scalding spiciness I usually experience; it was a cold spiciness.

It's very refreshing.

The chicken skin is wrinkled and melts in your mouth. The gelatinous substance spreads across your tongue, sticky and moist. With a gentle suck, the meat and bone separate.

It smells so good!

Great!

How wonderful!!!

Gao Quan Hong felt like he was about to ascend to heaven on the spot. He never expected that a chicken foot from outside the palace could be made so delicious.

His calculations were tricky, but I have to say, these chicken feet were absolutely perfect.

Moreover, there was a wonderful flavor that he couldn't quite discern, and he didn't know what seasoning it was.

"Good son!!"

Gao Quan Hong gave a thumbs-up, then took a second bite. His eyes lit up, and his expression was full of enjoyment; it was clear he was having a great time.

Seeing this, Zhao Gou felt relieved.

Sure enough, no one can resist Bo Bo Chicken, not even our ancestors.

After the matriarch finishes eating, he will take the opportunity to suggest to her that Lady Shen be appointed as the head of the imperial kitchen.

In that case, he might be able to enjoy Shen Niangzi's delicious food every day.

Zhao Gou was making his own calculations.

But just then, the sounds of laughter grew closer and closer to them.

"Beautiful lady, don't run away!!"

"Hehe, beauties, hehe, I will definitely catch you!"

"Hehe, beautiful!"

"..."

Zhao Gou looked up and saw that the emperor was so engrossed in playing that he had become obsessed with capturing beautiful women and had gotten very close to them without them noticing.

At this moment, Gao Quan Hong was completely immersed in the deliciousness of Bo Bo Chicken, oblivious to everything around him.

Zhao Gou instinctively wanted to speak up and remind Gao Quan Hong.

After all, eating at the entrance is somewhat against the rules.

However, before he could utter a sound, he saw the blindfolded emperor standing before him.

"My beauty! I've arrived!!"

The emperor reached out and hugged Gao Quan Hong's waist.

Zhao Gou: "..."

I'm scared, and I feel like running away.

Why did this have to happen?!

Oh my god, oh my god, we're doomed!
