Chapter 455= I’m ^Her Master

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Sigh, I hope this chef is tactful. Otherwise, Ttn afraid I won’t be able to open that elegant abode in the future.

The Empress asked again, “I’ll give you another chance. Does your sect own these recipes, or did Princess An’ning create them herself and teach you how to cook today?”

It was as if all the guests present would lose their memories if Furong changed

her words.

Everyone complained in their hearts, but there was only the usual coldness on their faces.

It seemed like no matter how Furong answered, Xiaoxiao’s reputation that she had just established recently would plummet.

The Emperor’s good mood instantly disappeared. He was glad that he had eaten quickly and had filled his stomach early, but he also regretted coming today. Couldn’t he find an excuse to say that he was busy with government affairs and reject it?

Now, what should he, the emperor of the country, do?

Whether it was asking the Xiao Family’s girl to take back her previous words or asking this chef to change her words, it did not seem appropriate.

Furong was also very conflicted when she had a headache. Master told her to listen to the Empress, so what should she answer now?

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao could tell that she was in a difficult position and took the

initiative to speak up for her. “Let me speak for her.”

Xiaoxiao propped her chin on her hand and looked at the Empress’s hand that was pressed against her abdomen unconsciously. She was all smiles. “I taught her.”

The Emperor sighed in his heart-the Xiao Family’s girl was usually quite smart. Why did she make a mistake today?

However, the Empress was very happy. She knew that the daughter raised by the farmers was short-sighted. As expected!

Because she was too happy, she even ignored the obvious discomfort in her stomach. She said to Furong with a straight face, “In that case, it’s you, an unruly person, who is trying to lie to us.”

-What a joke. How dare you spout nonsense in front of so many of us? Would a dignified princess be greedy for your mere recipes and frame you?”

She planned to use Furong to frame Xiaoxiao, but after using her, she did not plan to protect this chess piece. On the contrary, she wanted this matter to blow up as much as possible. It would be best if the entire Imperial Capital knew how arrogant and despotic the only daughter of the General’s Residence was and how she treated human lives like grass!

This way, neither the Xiao Family nor the Third Prince, who was about to marry Xiaoxiao, would pose a threat to the Yan Family.

This chef was unlucky. If she had to blame someone, she could only blame those people for praising the Third Prince too much recently and disturbing her.

The Empress raised her fingers with sharp nail guards and said with a dignified expression.

“Guards, drag this lying commoner down. Kill…”

“Hey, wait!” The Empress looked at Xiaoxiao unhappily. This wild girl from the Xiao Family was indeed uneducated to dare to interrupt her!

Xiaoxiao said, “She’s not lying.”

The Empress frowned. At the same time, she felt an urgent pain in her stomach.

“What do you mean?”

Xiaoxiao deliberately slowed down. “It’s not a lie when Furong said that the

recipes were taught by her sect.”

“She didn’t lie, so there’s no need to be punished, right?

The Empress really could not help but want to laugh. She did not expect this daughter of the Xiao Family to be so stupid. Did she think that she could be a good person just because she turned back at the last minute? Little did she know that going back on her word would only make her fall into an even more awkward situation.

Sure enough, someone immediately asked, “Then… Princess, did you remember wrongly?”

The Empress glanced at that person and added this person’s name to the list of people to be promoted next time.

However, Xiaoxiao said, “No.”

“I indeed figured out these dishes from reading books.” Everyone was confused, but Xiaoxiao said happily, “Because I’m her master.” The Empress’ hand that was holding the wine glass trembled. “What did you say?”

The Emperor relaxed his brows. “An’ning, is what you said true?” Xiaoxiao raised her chin at Furong. “Your Majesty, you can ask Furong-” Furong said respectfully, “Your Majesty, I’m Master’s first disciple. I’ve already acknowledged her as my master when I was in Xijiang County. Master taught me to make the snacks and drinks in the elegant abode.”

Good lord, this Princess An’ning was too low-key!

Someone asked curiously, “Since the princess has such ability before she returned to the Imperial Capital, why didn’t she do it herself?”

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. “I’m young and short. I can’t reach the stove.’

Everyone was speechless.

They actually… could not refute her…

The Emperor laughed. “You’re smart, humble, and polite. The Ning Family and the Xiao Family have taught their daughters well. I’m very satisfied with this meal. An’ning, Furong, what reward do you want?”

This was originally a conventional pleasantry. Usually, when the Emperor asked this, others would answer that it was up to His Majesty to make the decision. However, Xiaoxiao did not. She said, “Since His Majesty asks, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

The Emperor panicked and regretted speaking too quickly.

Recently, the Imperial Court had focused on planting food and refining iron.

The treasury was a little tight…

The Emperor couldn’t make empty promises. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he couldn’t take out any rewards after opening his mouth?

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao made a very sensible request—

“I heard that Your Majesty has good handwriting. I wonder if I can boldly ask for your calligraphy treasure for the elegant abode?”

This flattery made the Emperor beam. “How difficult is that? Dezi, prepare the Four Treasures of the Study!”

Not only did she fail to frame Xiaoxiao, but she also gave her a chance to become famous. The Empress was already angry enough. Seeing that the Emperor really started writing, she was even angrier.

This anger ran rampant in her heart. It darted around and suddenly went to a place it shouldn’t go…

There was a faint “pfft” sound, accompanied by an indescribable smell. As she was close, Xiaoxiao could see the Empress’s pupils tremble and her face turn pale.

Without batting an eyelid, she retreated a distance far enough to express her reverence and secretly held her breath.

The Empress felt like dying on the spot right now.

With all her strength, the Empress’s face turned red. She tightened her body and gave her nanny a look.

The nanny did not follow the Empress for so many years in vain. She immediately turned around and glared at the palace maids. “What’s going on? Hurry up and get down!”

The palace maid was puzzled when the nanny said to the Emperor, “Your Majesty, actually, Her Majesty didn’t sleep well last night. I’m worried that Her Majesty will be exhausted. Why don’t you persuade her and get Her Majesty to go back to rest early?”

Since it was the palace maid who farted, Eunuch De was relieved to fan the Emperor in exchange for fresh air.

The Emperor calmed down for a while and said with difficulty, “Your health is more important.”

However, every word was short, as if he was afraid of inhaling the stench again.

Eunuch De’s wrist strength was outstanding. The Emperor felt that the air was fine so he planned to persuade her again. However, at this moment, the usually talkative and stubborn Empress had already stood up. “Yes, I’ll take my leave.”

Without even saying goodbye to Noble Consort Ji, she hurriedly left.

At first, when everyone was in sight, the Empress’s footsteps were still neither fast nor slow. As soon as she walked away, she wished she could fly. Fortunately, the banquet was held in the Empress’s palace. It was only a few steps back to the inner hall. The Empress trembled as she was helped down by the nanny. However, her clothes were destroyed.

After an unknown period of time, the Empress asked, “What happened?”
