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

"The sixth dish—roasted gluten!"

The grilled gluten was neatly arranged on a white porcelain plate, with a layer of dark red sauce brushed on the surface. Cumin seeds and chili powder were scattered unevenly in the gaps between the gluten, giving it an overall glossy appearance.

With one bite, the spiciness of the chili powder spreads from the tip of the tongue to the back, the gluten is chewy and has a smoky aroma from being grilled, mixed with the savory flavor of soy sauce. The lingering fragrance after swallowing is unforgettable.

"The seventh dish—hand-pulled pancakes!"

As soon as the scallion pancake is served, a smoky aroma fills the nostrils. This is the aroma of the oil released when the pancake is half-fried and half-cooked on the griddle, followed by the fragrance of eggs, the savory aroma of sweet bean sauce, and the spiciness of chili sauce.

Upon first bite, the first sensation is the crispy crust. With a snap, the crust crumbles, revealing tender egg, fragrant ham, and crisp, juicy lettuce. As you swallow, the aroma of the sauce and the crispy crust linger.

The eighth dish – Sizzling Tofu

The tofu was pan-fried until it developed a tiger-skin-like golden-brown pattern, with the edges slightly curled up. Chili powder and cumin seeds were scattered on the surface of the tofu, and the steam carrying the aroma of soy sauce and scallions rose upwards.

Take a bite, and the crispy outer layer has a chewy texture. The savory sauce and the flavors of chili and cumin liven up your tongue. Inside is a tender white tofu core that melts in your mouth, with a unique sweetness.

The ninth dish – fruit salad

The large, transparent glass bowl was filled with all sorts of colorful fruits: golden mangoes, red-fleshed watermelon chunks with black seeds, peeled lychees, halved strawberries, deep purple mulberries, and so on.

The colorful fruits soaked in the milky white yogurt looked especially appealing.

One bite and it's icy cold, with a milky and fruity aroma that's refreshing and delightful.

"The tenth dish - Lychee Rose Sparkling Drink"

The transparent glass contains a pale pink sparkling drink. At the bottom of the glass are a few peeled lychee pieces, round and white. Rose petals float on the rim of the glass, and a thin slice of bright green lime sits on the edge.

Fine bubbles rise continuously from the bottom of the cup, and a bamboo straw is inserted diagonally into the cup.

The initial taste is intensely cool, with countless bubbles bursting on the tongue, followed by the sweetness of lychee and the subtle fragrance of rose, along with a hint of lime's tartness.

Extremely crisp and clear.

"Amazing, absolutely amazing! To be able to eat ten different dishes from Madam Shen in one go! Heaven is so kind to me!!"

"Delicious, absolutely delicious! Madam Shen must be a celestial being!"

"Waaaaah, I really want to take Lady Shen back to the Liao Dynasty."

"Why can't we eat this kind of delicious food every day? Why?!"

"..."

The crowd ate and shouted, and some even cried because the food was so delicious.

Trying ten new dishes at once is unprecedented.

He pulled out banknotes one by one and wrote IOU after IOU, without feeling any remorse for the money.

Towards the end of the meal, some people even started snatching food from others, showing no regard for etiquette. It was a chaotic scene of people grabbing and protecting each other's food, fighting and scrambling for it.

Shen Qing did not stop them again. After the previous actions, all the royal family members present should have eaten.

Maybe when she opens the system tonight, her task will be completed on the spot.

Just think about it!

Just then, a shocked shout rang out:

"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!!"

"Protect His Majesty! Quickly, protect His Majesty!!"

"Ahhhhh—"
