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

In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Stir-fried snails! Stir-fried snails!!"

"I want stir-fried snails!"

"Stir-fried snails, here I come!"

They couldn't wait for the palace maids to serve the food; everyone rushed to the door, afraid that their stir-fried snails would vanish into thin air.

After all, there are so many foodies here, and if you're not careful, your share might get snatched away.

Of course, the main reason is that they themselves are not innocent either, and they are always thinking about robbing others.

Yelü Qi looked at it and thought, "Good heavens, this time we'll have to resort to robbery."

Turning his head again, he saw that the envoys he had brought were still trembling and drooling, looking completely dumbfounded.

"You guys, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and grab some stir-fried snails!"

"I, we... insane, I don't..." It was all incoherent rambling.

Yelü Qi: "To hesitate like this when faced with delicious food is utterly shameful! Look at the people of Da'an, how fast they run! You are all completely useless, only good for making a fool of yourselves!"

"I, the prince, now command you—right now, immediately, go and seize the stir-fried snails!!"

After saying that, Yelü Qi took off running and charged ahead.

Liao Dynasty envoy: "..."

Are they shameful?

They are clearly among the few normal people.

"Run! Let's get the stir-fried snails back for the Third Prince first, otherwise, who knows what he'll do to settle the score later."

"That, that, madness..."

"If we don't eat it, we won't go crazy."

The Liao envoys exchanged glances, and the next moment they mustered all their strength and rushed straight towards the entrance of the main hall.

The entrance to the main hall was already in complete chaos, with people grabbing and eating like madmen.

"Snails, snails, stir-fried snails!"

"No, don't take mine!"

"Give me a plate, give me a plate!"

"..."

Each snail shell is coated with bright red chili oil, minced garlic is stir-fried until golden brown and fragrant, dried chili pepper pieces are scattered around the snails, and a few peppercorns can also be seen.

The bottom of the plate is a layer of soup made of red oil and sauce, with some chopped green onions scattered in the soup, and a few bright green perilla leaves on top.

The rising steam carried the aroma straight upwards.

After a long struggle, the Liao envoys finally managed to each grab a plate.

Holding the stir-fried snails, the aroma wafted towards my face, my throat bobbed involuntarily, and saliva streamed down my face.

"I, I, I can't take it anymore, I can't hold back..."

"No, so be it. Being crazy isn't so bad, since so many people are going crazy with me. A bunch of people being crazy together isn't really crazy!"

One of the envoys couldn't resist any longer. He convinced himself and then picked up a snail with his hand, feeling perfectly justified.

Suck hard with your lips on the screw head.

babble-

The broth flooded my mouth, mixing with the red oil of fermented bean paste, the freshness of snails, and the spiciness of scallions, ginger, and chili peppers. All the flavors exploded on my tongue, and for a moment, my mind went blank.

The snail meat is firm and chewy, and the fragrance of perilla and the sweetness of the snail meat alternate as you chew. After swallowing a bite, your mouth is still tingling and spicy, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

"Stir-fried snails!! Amazing, so amazing!!"

"Stir-fried snails are the most delicious food in the world!"

The envoy shouted at the top of his lungs.

Other envoys: "..."

"No, I can't hold back anymore."

"Let them go crazy, they seem genuinely happy doing it!"

"My God, how can there be such delicious snails on earth!"

"..."

Everything is in complete chaos.

The emperor above looked on helplessly, extremely anxious. He was obese and rarely moved, so he couldn't run even if he wanted to.

Fortunately, Zhao Gou was perceptive and led a group of eunuchs to rush over and snatch several plates.

"Your Majesty, please try this stir-fried snail dish!"

"Dog, good dog, thank goodness for you, my stir-fried snails..." he said, and began to eat them without caring about his image.

Zhao Gou chuckled, stepped aside, and began to eat heartily himself.

The palace maids and eunuchs who came to serve the food were terrified. They had never seen such a scene before and were extremely frightened.

Some eunuchs even took advantage of the chaos to start eating themselves.

"Next dish—Waxberry Iced Rice Balls," the eunuch's voice rang out.

The chaotic hall fell silent for a second, then the crowd's emotions intensified.

"What? Tangyuan? I want some!"

"Hurry, hurry, they'll be gone in a minute!"

"You dog, hurry and snatch it for me!"

"..."

A huge crowd surged toward the door.

Just then, a cold yet familiar voice rang out:

"queue."

Everyone: "???"

My mind was still wondering, but my body had already subconsciously started queuing up.

Almost instantly, a long queue formed.

Everyone felt as if they were standing at the entrance of Zhiwei Restaurant.

"Sister Shen!!" Gu Qionghua's eyes lit up, and she rushed to Shen Qing, eagerly grabbing Shen Qing's hand.

"Sister Shen, I'm so glad I can finally see you! I've missed you so much!"

She came to the palace banquet with her mother today. Besides enjoying the delicious food, she also wanted to see her sister Shen.

She had never seen Sister Shen again since she entered the palace.

In fact, she had begged her mother several times to come to the palace to see Sister Shen, but her uncle, the emperor, refused.

The emperor uncle seemed very afraid that they would abduct Sister Shen.

"Oh, it's Princess Qionghua! She looks even more beautiful now. But let's talk about catching up later, shall we serve the food first?"

"Okay!" Gu Qionghua smiled brightly.

She spotted the iced glutinous rice balls from afar; they seemed to be a dessert, but they looked unusual.

Gu Qionghua jogged back to the Princess's side. The Princess smiled and nodded to Shen Qing from afar.

The character above is Consort Li, Su Jiao'er: (´へ`)

When did Aqing and Gu Qionghua become so close?

I'm feeling a bit uneasy!

"Madam Shen, why did you come in person? Aren't there still many dishes to come?" the Emperor said hurriedly from above.

He didn't care about anything else right now; he was only concerned about whether he could eat the next five, six, seven, or eight dishes.

"I heard the palace banquet was in chaos, so of course I had to come," Shen Qing said calmly.

Her main goal at this palace banquet was to win over all the members of the royal family.

Now that everyone is scrambling for it, what if some members of the royal family don't get any? Wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?

The emperor quickly pretended to scold them, "Look at you all! What a mess you've made! Doesn't this interfere with Lady Shen's cooking?"

"Especially you Liao people, although Liao doesn't really have much good food, you can't act like this at our Da'an Palace banquet..."

Liao envoy: "???"

They weren't the ones who went crazy first, were they?

Third Prince, how can you tolerate this?

Their third prince will certainly not tolerate this!

The envoys began to exchange glances with Yelü Qi.

Yelü Qi stared intently at Shen Qing and asked, "Lady Shen, are you willing to come with me to the Liao Dynasty?"
