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

Gao Quan Hong: "..."

Didn't we agree to do it secretly?

Why did His Majesty suddenly appear?

This is so unreliable.

Yan Wenli was taken aback and stared intently at it.

The person in front of me had an oily face, puffy eyelids, large bags and dark circles under his eyes, and a lifeless gaze. He was truly old and ugly.

"This, this, this," he stammered a few times.

Upon closer inspection, good heavens, these features, these contours, aren't they none other than the current emperor?

His Majesty hasn't attended court for four or five years, and he hasn't seen His Majesty's face for four or five years. He never expected to see him here.

Moreover, the emperor is becoming increasingly ugly, clearly showing signs of excessive indulgence.

Suppressing his shock, Yan Wenli hurriedly tried to kneel down and kowtow.

The emperor stopped him abruptly: "Don't make a fuss. Now you must keep this a secret and not tell anyone else."

Yan Wenli nodded with a bitter face.

Oh no, so incredibly unlucky.

The emperor is really going too far.

If something bad were to happen, the country would be in turmoil and the nation would be unstable.

"It's not safe outside. You'd better return to the palace as soon as possible, otherwise it will harm your health..."

"You don't need to worry about that, just remember to keep it a secret," the emperor waved his hand.

What else could Yan Wenli say? In front of the emperor, he couldn't say anything; he could only nod and agree respectfully.

Gao Quan Hong sighed.

Well, he was exhausted, and the truth still found out.

If Yan Wenli finds out, Pei Yuan will definitely find out too.

Keep it a secret? What secret can be kept forever? Yan Wenli told Pei Yuan that Pei Yuan could just come over and have a chance encounter, and the trouble wouldn't involve Yan Wenli.

Sigh, I have to say, the emperor is getting more and more stupid.

"What are you staring at? Hurry up and buy some Bo Bo Chicken!" The emperor only had Bo Bo Chicken in his eyes and mind.

Helpless, Gao Quan Hong walked up to Shen Qing.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"

It's almost like it was triggered automatically.

Gao Quan Hong's lips twitched, and he frowned as he glanced at the lofty plaque. He spoke in a rather sarcastic tone, "Shen Qing is the most beautiful woman in the world."

The shrill voice paired with the sarcastic tone was truly disgusting.

This person seems to be mocking her.

Shen Qing frowned.

Although the system's punishment was somewhat outrageous, most of the diners answered happily after their initial shock.

This was the first time she had ever heard someone mock her.

I'm feeling a little unwell.

"Your tone is a bit strange, please answer again."

Shen Qing refused to waste time and spoke directly.

Gao Quan Hong was taken aback; he hadn't expected Shen Qing to make such a request.

Upon seeing the emperor's expression, he took a deep breath and repeated, "Shen Qing is the most beautiful woman in the world."

This time, there was no sarcasm, but there was a hint of frustration and reluctance in his tone.

"Are you very unwilling? If you are unwilling, you don't have to force yourself. You can try other restaurants," Shen Qing said indifferently.

Gao Quan Hong's face immediately darkened.

This young lady is far too rude!

He's already said "things shouldn't happen more than three times" twice.

They're just as annoying as Yan Wenli and Pei Yuan's group.

"Quickly, say it again, say it properly." The emperor chuckled from the side, as if watching a play.

Normally, the eunuchs and maids in the palace treated Gao Quan Hong with utmost respect, and the ladies of the harem also treated him with courtesy.

Therefore, the emperor had never seen Gao Quan Hong suffer a setback.

This is because Gao Quan Hong is his dog, and no one else dares to let him suffer.

Now that they are outside the palace, this young lady is unaware of their identities, and her demands of Gao Quan Hong are quite amusing to the emperor.

Novel and interesting!

A hint of humiliation flashed in Gao Quan Hong's eyes.

But soon, a smile spread across his face.

With a look of heartfelt admiration, he said, "Madam Shen is the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Shen Qing is the most beautiful woman in the world!!"

Having served the emperor for many years, Gao Quan Hong was still very shrewd, and his ability to change his expression was superb.

At this point, there was no need for Shen Qing to continue making things difficult for him.

She said coldly and indifferently, "What do you want?"

"Yellow throat!!" Gao Quan Hong exclaimed quickly.

Shen Qing took one and handed it to Gao Quan Hong.

Gao Quan Hong swallowed hard, held back his saliva, and turned to give it to the emperor.

"Another skewer of lotus root slices, please!"

The emperor took it and hurriedly addressed Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou sighed. Needless to say, there was absolutely no chance of getting any food today.

This is probably punishment for his gluttony yesterday.

After a series of questions and answers, Zhao Gou received the lotus root slices.

She gave Shen Qing another meaningful look, her expression tinged with resentment.

Waaaaah, he took 10,000 points of damage.

So it turns out that Madam Shen really had no feelings for him!

That enormous plaque is the cruel proof!

What can he do? He has already come to regard Madam Shen as a sister from the bottom of his heart!

"It smells so good! I've never tasted anything this delicious in my life. Compared to this, all the delicacies I've eaten before taste like dog poop!"

"I still want to eat the beef tripe, and I also want to try the seaweed, as well as the wood ear mushrooms, broccoli, tofu skin, and beef tripe—I want to eat them all!"

The emperor's excited voice rang in my ears.

He's had his fun, watched the show, and laughed his fill; now it's time for him to feast.

Just kidding, purchase limits?

He's the ruler of all people, restricting purchases from him? That's practically asking for trouble.

Upon hearing this, Gao Quan Hong became even more agitated. He had been feeling incredibly frustrated earlier, and he immediately added fuel to the fire.

"The purchase limit is completely unreasonable. We've already queued up, so we should be able to buy as much as we want. Master, you're not short of money." Gao Quan Hong's mouth was practically stretched to his ears.

If he had a tail, it would definitely be wagging incessantly right now.

"Give me two skewers of each of these, and hurry up!" The emperor's tone carried a hint of charity.

It was as if it was an honor for Shen Qing that he could eat this pot-boiled chicken.

Gao Quan Hong casually tossed a silver ingot over.

Unfortunately, it ended up falling directly onto the ground.

"Madam Shen, the silver is on the ground. Give me two strings of each, and hurry up."

It was very ill-intentioned.

Shen Qing remained calm, as if she hadn't seen Gao Quan Hong's actions at all.

"One per person, you may leave now."

"Purchase restrictions? Do you know who this person is? Let me tell you, it's someone you wouldn't even dare to dream of!" Gao Quan Hong said in a low voice.

"If this man gets angry, not only will your Zhiwei Restaurant be in trouble, but the entire Ping'an County will be doomed!!"

Gao Quan Hong was absolutely certain that these words would make Shen Qing submit.

After all, this Lady Shen was just an ordinary commoner. If she saw the emperor, she would definitely be terrified.

He's given such a clear hint, Madam Shen must be terrified.

"Oh..." Shen Qing said indifferently, "Everyone who comes will have to be subject to purchase limits."
