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

It didn't just fall off.

One corner was chipped off.

The entire room was silent; everyone stared in disbelief, no one daring to utter a single word.

It was as if the world had suddenly been put on pause.

Gao Quan Hong's mind went blank.

This is a capital offense, a truly capital offense.

His body went limp in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground, his hands gripping the imperial seal tightly. His eyes darted around on the ground, trying to find the missing piece.

It was an extremely embarrassing situation.

"The Imperial Seal of the State! That's the Imperial Seal of the State!!"

"The Imperial Seal of the State is shattered!!"

"That dog eunuch deserves to die! He must die!!"

"We beg Your Majesty to issue a decree to execute this dog of a eunuch!"

"..."

In an instant, all the ministers pleaded earnestly, and even many common people joined in the clamor.

You must know, that's the Imperial Seal of the State, passed down through countless generations, a symbol of imperial power.

For superstitious people in ancient times, the breaking of the Imperial Seal was a very ominous sign.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and his eyes held a hidden anger.

He didn't want to deal with Gao Quan Hong. Over the years, Gao Quan Hong had proven to be very capable and had many good ideas for having fun.

But then, he smashed the Imperial Seal of the State...

"In that case..." The emperor gritted his teeth, "Gao Quan Hong smashed the Imperial Seal of the State, which is a capital offense. He shall be executed immediately."

"Your Majesty!" Gao Quan Hong disregarded the Imperial Seal and grabbed the emperor's trouser leg. "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I didn't mean to!"

"It's all because of these ministers; they're the ones who scared me. Otherwise, my hand wouldn't have been so unsteady."

"Your Majesty, I have served you faithfully, and this imperial seal also belongs to you..."

"Get out!" The emperor kicked Gao Quan Hong directly in the mouth.

"Take him away immediately and execute him!"

Seeing this, Pei Yuan waved his hand, and soon a large group of people took Gao Quan Hong away from the ground.

The plan was executed perfectly, except that the Imperial Seal of the State was an unexpected event.

The Imperial Seal of the State being broken is truly not a good thing.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

In an instant, shouts erupted from all sides.

Pei Yuan then addressed the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, please return to the palace to preside over state affairs."

If we bring the emperor back to the palace, then Madam Shen can continue her business smoothly.

Presiding over the government?

He didn't want to at all.

But given the current situation, he has no choice but to go back.

After all, so many people are watching.

What about his sausage and chicken pizza?

After a long pause, the emperor hesitated and said, "Otherwise... let's finish our Bobo Chicken and pizza first before going back."

He hasn't even tried the pizza yet; it would be a waste for him to go back home.

"Your Majesty is right. Since we're already here, let's try the pizza first."

"Yes, yes, it smelled really good just now."

"I want pizza!"

"..."

For some reason, the topic suddenly shifted from serious politics to food, and the atmosphere became relaxed.

And so, the decision was made happily.

The emperor sat down at the Zhiwei Restaurant and ordered two pizzas, two skewers of Sichuan-style boiled chicken, two grilled sausages, and two sparkling drinks.

Zhao Gou then stood behind the emperor to serve him.

God knows how scared he was just now.

That was our ancestor, a figure second only to the emperor, and he died so easily.

Whose heart can take this?

"Zhao..." The emperor seemed unable to recall Zhao Gou's name.

Zhao Gou smiled ingratiatingly: "Zhao Gou, this servant's name is Zhao Gou."

"dog?"

"No, it's the character '苟' with the grass radical."

"The 'gou' in 'gouqi' (苟且, meaning 'to live a life of ignominy' or

Zhao Gou: "...Yes."

That doesn't sound like a compliment.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Change it. From now on, you'll use the character for 'dog' (小狗)."

"You may take the position of Grand Eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial."

The emperor was very casual, as casual as deciding what clothes to wear tomorrow.

Zhao Gou's eyes widened in disbelief: "Me???"

"Yes, it's you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have discovered Lady Shen's culinary skills. You're quite remarkable!"

"I don't know anything, how can I be the chief eunuch?"

Zhao Gou was completely bewildered.

He was a little scared.

"There's nothing you can't do. Take your time. I believe in you!"

Zhao Gou: "..."

For no apparent reason, he became the ancestor.

So, does that mean he's now second only to the emperor?

It's just that the name is a bit awful. Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou, is really insulting.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Zhao Gou said, expressing his gratitude.

Fine, let him be a dog. Anyway, everyone in the palace can only call him Ancestor, and even the ministers outside the palace have to respectfully call him Eunuch Zhao.

As for dogs, only the emperor can bark at them.

"The pizza is ready!" Shen Qing's voice rang out.

Zhao Gou quickly stepped forward and brought over two plates of pizza.

The freshly baked bacon, potato, and cheese pizza was placed on a wooden cutting board, steaming and emitting an enticing aroma.

The edges of the pizza are puffed up high, and the cheese is spread on the surface in a pattern of golden and milky white. The edges of the bacon are slightly curled up, and the oil seeps out, forming a shiny layer on the surface of the pizza.

Coarsely diced potatoes are nestled between cheese and bacon, baked to a very thin, crispy crust, giving them a slightly golden-brown color.

The aromas of caramel, smoky meat, cheese, rosemary, and wheat from the crust all blend together, filling the nostrils and making one's mouth water.

The emperor couldn't resist the smell alone.

Zhao Gou was cutting the pizza into triangular pieces with a rolling cutter.

The emperor immediately picked up a piece, and instantly, the cheese stretched into long, thin strands, trembling slightly in the air.

Put it to your mouth and take a bite.

The first thing you touch is the crispy outer shell, followed by a soft and chewy center.

Then, the cheese surged up, rich and creamy with a milky aroma.

The bacon releases a concentrated meaty aroma between your teeth, which is quite unique, and the potatoes are soft and fluffy, making for an excellent texture.

"It smells so good! I'm so curious! What kind of pizza is this? It's amazing!" the emperor couldn't help but shout.

Especially the bacon; it tasted like cured meat but not quite, which was quite peculiar.

God.

The emperor couldn't help but be amazed.

Grilled sausages are delicious, and so is Sichuan-style boiled chicken, but this bacon and potato pizza is something else entirely—uniquely delicious.

He couldn't control his hands at all, eating one piece after another.

Soon, her belly became round and bulging.

Gollum—

A sound of swallowing saliva was heard.

The emperor turned his head and saw Zhao Gou.

He patted his round belly and then looked at what was left on the table.

"Here's a piece for you!"

Zhao Gou was overjoyed and quickly took the hard-won pizza.

One bite, and oh my god!

The pity and sadness I felt for Gao Quan Hong's fate completely disappeared.

It's delicious, so delicious!

What makes him so special that he gets to eat such delicious food?

The emperor patted his belly, looking completely satisfied.

But the thought of returning to the capital filled him with sorrow.

"How can I eat this every day..." the emperor murmured, frowning.
