Ch 119: Satisfying Her Majesty Empress Jiang Li

On the table.

The spicy hot pot has been served.

The grilled meat next to it is also ready, with various marinated meat slices.

“Your Majesty, you are accustomed to various delicacies. You must try this hot pot. Also, you have five flavors in front of you. But I have gathered flavors from all over the country… please try them.”

Jiang Li, also interested, simply followed Lin Che’s suggestion and began to try.

“This meat is very tender. The boiling time in the hot pot is very important; you need to silently count fifteen numbers in your heart. That’s the most delicious way.”

“Hmm… it seems to be good.”

Jiang Li ate very delicately, her small mouth slightly open, savoring slowly:

“Not spicy enough.”

“Then try this second sauce.” Lin Che immediately pointed to the second sauce bowl.

Jiang Li tried it again, and her eyes lit up immediately.

“Hmm, this is good—although this method is a bit wasteful of beast meat. Making pills is more helpful for cultivation, but your current method tastes pretty good.”

“Haha, Food is the priority of the people. Your Majesty, what you are trying now is the most common food for the commoners. They cannot pursue cultivation.”

Jiang Li paused, as if savoring Lin Che’s words: “Food is the priority of the people. That’s right—the common people only pursue food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.”

Lin Che smiled, and he himself began to try.

Jiang Li was clearly not used to eating face-to-face with others, especially seeing Lin Che also reaching for chopsticks into the hot pot.

However, seeing that Lin Che was using public chopsticks, she didn’t say much.

Lin Che naturally noticed this small detail.

There are many rules in the Imperial Family, so Jiang Li’s reaction is normal.

“Try this grilled meat; it’s definitely crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.”

Lin Che said, and then clipped a piece of grilled meat to Jiang Li.

“Grilled meat, so-so. The Imperial Kitchen’s grilled meat is also okay. If there is a chance, I will also invite you to try it.”

Although Jiang Li said so, she became more and more addicted to eating.

The feeling was that she couldn’t let go at first, but the more she ate, the happier and more comfortable she felt, and she couldn’t forget it.

Unknowingly, Jiang Li’s mouth was already full of juice.

Lin Che asked, “Are you full?”

“Yes. Very full.” Jiang Li finally let go and answered simply.

“Does it feel very comfortable?”

“Unexpectedly, you have this kind of skill.” Jiang Li praised him with satisfaction.

“You rest, I’ll give you some ice cream now.”

Lin Che immediately went to get the prepared ice cream.

This is his ultimate weapon.

“This is ice cream. Have you ever eaten it?”

“This? Why is it so white and creamy? Is it really delicious?” Jiang Li looked at the thing extended to her, full of doubts.

“It’s delicious, you’ll know when you try it. You’ll get addicted after eating it. Hold it with your hand.”

“Okay then…”

Jiang Li held the ice cream in front of her, and for a moment she didn’t dare to take a bite.

“Don’t bite, just lick it.”

“Hmm.”

Jiang Li was surprisingly obedient, and stuck out her little tongue and gently licked the ice cream.

“Hmm?? Such a strange feeling. But it’s quite delicious.”

“Don’t talk, just eat quietly.”

Jiang Li probably had never been treated like this before.

Dining in the Imperial Court, how to sit, how to eat, even how many bites to take of something, there are rules.

Even if it was a favorite food, she couldn’t eat an extra bite, for fear that someone with ulterior motives would guess her preferences and poison her.

Later, with busy government affairs, she simply got into the habit of taking pills.

Unexpectedly, Lin Che’s meal today gave her an unprecedented satisfaction.

“Write down the recipe for this ice cream. When I get back, I will let the Imperial Kitchen make some.”

Lin Che immediately shook his head: “Your Majesty, aren’t you making it difficult for your humble servant? This is my latest invention. Your humble servant is relying on it to become big and strong, to make a fortune.”

“Your humble servant has a family to support, and I am really poor. I can’t afford it.”

Jiang Li clearly enjoyed herself, wiped the white ice cream from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked insightful:

“Okay, okay. In view of your hard work in making this meal, I will give you some more military funds.”

“However, these military funds cannot come from the Ministry of War. I will reward you.”

Jiang Li finished speaking and took a small cloth bag from her sleeve, took out a stack of silver notes, didn’t count them, and directly placed them on the table.

“Just consider it meal money.”

“Thank you for Your Majesty’s great kindness.”

Lin Che was very polite and reached out to take them.

【Ding…】

【Congratulations, Host, you have gained 50 skill points.】

Hmm?

Good heavens, these silver notes don’t look like much, but unexpectedly, it’s five million.

Your Majesty truly loves me.

With so much money, I won’t have to worry about future development and expansion.

Jiang Li glanced at Lin Che, slowly stood up, her waist slender, and said softly:

“The road ahead is long and dangerous, I hope you will take care!”

After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.

Lin Che followed for a few steps, watching Jiang Li walk far away, looking at her beautiful back, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

This highly placed Your Majesty, she seems to be bearing an unusual burden.

…

After Jiang Li left.

Lin Che immediately ordered Yu Huadian: “Go, pass my order. Tonight at twelve o’clock, we will set off on time.”

“Yes, Master.”

Lin Che put away the silver notes and immediately returned to his room.

At this time, he must break through first; having power is the truth. The Nine Turns True Essence Pill given by Jiang Li should not be a deception.

Fifth Rank, True Essence Realm, I’m coming!
