Chapter 27: Li Shimin's Bitter Regret Opposite him, Wei Zheng stood clad in scarlet robes, holding two rolls of official documents. His eyes, keen as a demon-revealing mirror, fixed intently upon the poorly concealed fake mustache on Li Shimin's chin. "Fang Xuanling... no, Xuancheng." Li Shimin wanted to rip the fake mustache off, but felt it would be too undignified. He could only force an awkward laugh. "What a coincidence! I... I am out for a stroll." Wei Zheng did not take the bait. His…- 59.3 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 28: Making Beggar's Chicken! The sun slanted toward the west, casting a long shadow along the mottled red wall of the Imperial Kitchen's backyard. Su Mu squatted in the corner, three freshly slaughtered and plucked Sanhuang chickens laid out before him, alongside a pile of yellow mud freshly dug from the lotus pond. The mud was sticky and free of gravel, making it the perfect material for this dish. A row of jars and bottles sat on a small wooden table nearby. Soy sauce, yellow wine,…

- Chapter 70: Supernatural Classroom The black shadow rushed out so suddenly that Xie Sui had no time to react. Xie Sui had passed this classroom earlier when he went to check the door of the utility room. However, he hadn't sensed the presence of any living person then... and it was the same now. Although he had been dragged into the classroom by a humanoid black shadow, he sensed absolutely no aura of a living human. The shadow let go of its grip after dragging Xie Sui into the room. Xie Sui…

- Chapter 29: Beggar's Chicken: Dripping with Savory Juices, Rich Without Being Greasy! "Is this... done?" Li Lizhi panted, slumping onto a nearby low stool without a shred of decorum, staring at her ruined hands in utter dismay. "Just wait," Su Mu said, fetching a bucket of water from who knows where. "Wash your hands first. Anyone seeing you would think I hired two child coal miners." The two of them gathered by the bucket to wash their hands. The clear water instantly turned into a murky…

- Chapter 30: What?! What I Ate Was Beggar's Chicken?! "We weren't digging ditches..." Li Lizhi's face flushed so red it looked ready to bleed. She subconsciously hid her unsightly hands behind her back, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum. "We were... we were cooking." "Cooking?" Empress Zhangsun let out an exasperated chuckle and pointed at the still-damp clump of yellow mud on Xiao Sizi's skirt. "Are you telling me the Imperial Kitchen has started using mud as an ingredient now? Or did you…

- Chapter 31: Roujiamo! In the afternoon, aside from the cicadas tirelessly wailing away, a new sound stirred in the backyard of the Imperial Kitchen. Thud, thud, thud! It was not loud, but it had a steady rhythm, like someone beating a thick rawhide drum with a wooden mallet, dull yet resilient. Su Mu stood before the cutting board, the thick-backed cleaver in his hand rising and falling. On the board lay a slab of pork belly fresh from the pot. This was not the usual neatly cubed braised…

- Chapter 32: Why Is It Called Roujiamo and Not Mojiarou? Xiao Sizi stuffed the last bite of flatbread into her mouth, swallowed it with effort, and corrected him in all seriousness, "It's cleawly mo-jia-rou! Not rou-jia-mo!" Su Mu's knife paused in his hand. This was a question practically everyone asked the first time they ate roujiamo. "This is called an ancient grammatical inversion," Su Mu made something up on the spot. "People in ancient times spoke with refinement, saying 'meat…

- Chapter 33: What an Overpowering Aroma, the Fang Family Heiress Is Stunned! The sun had just tilted westward when the battered wooden door in the backyard of the Imperial Kitchen met with misfortune once again. With a creak, the door hinge let out an agonized groan. Li Lizhi poked half her body in. She was not carrying a food box this time; instead, she reached back, tugging along a sleeve of smoky teal. "Hurry up! What are you dawdling for? Any later and there won't even be soup left." The…
