A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 171 Delicious food in the world

Zhou Jingze grilled a handful of lamb skewers and sprinkled them with seasoning. The aroma could be smelled from afar. The guards outside the door didn't dare move when they smelled it. They just knew that the old emperor had entered the courtyard.

Jingze handed a few skewers of mutton to the old emperor. A few to the chef. The rest to Liu Junyang. The boy was so happy.

Qiqi and his wife were still skewering the food, and fearing there wouldn't be enough, he even took out a few crabs and put them on the grill. There were also a lot of chicken wings skewered.

Liu Junyang ate a skewer. His eyes widened. It was so delicious! He hadn't realized meat could be eaten this way. He finished it in a few bites. The aftertaste was unforgettable.

He also came to the grill and asked Zhou Jingze to teach him. He learned it in a short while and grilled on the side.

The old emperor took a bite of the skewers, which were no worse than hot pot, and even more appealing than hot pot. He also finished the skewers in his hand. Yun Jizi asked the old emperor, "Your Majesty, how do the skewers taste? Are they delicious?"

"The mutton tastes delicious. With the seasoning, it is simply a delicacy. It tastes great." The old emperor exclaimed happily.

Seeing her father enjoying his meal, Qiqi no longer felt tired. Zhou Jingze came over with another skewer.

Qiqi hurried over and took it. She handed a few skewers to her father, a few to her master, and a few to her mistress, saving one for herself. Liu Junyang also took the grilled fish and placed it on the plate in front of the old emperor and Yun Jizi. He went back to grilling.

Qiqi picked up the grilled fish and took a bite. It was a little salty, but quite delicious. "Brother Junyang, you've made great progress. You can grill fish now. It's delicious. Keep grilling it and use less salt."

Qiqi also went over to teach Liu Junyang how to grill chicken wings and shrimp. He knew the right temperature and soon they were cooked. Qiqi took a bite and tasted it. It was delicious.

"Father, Master, Master's Wife, and Brother Junyang grilled delicious chicken wings and shrimps. Please try them."

Liu Junyang put some on a plate on the stone table. The old emperor picked up a string of shrimp and took a bite. It was very delicious.

"It's Qiqi's guidance that makes Junyang's grilled food so delicious."

"Father, you are biased. Qiqi is the best in your heart. She is also the best in my heart. I have a sister like this, it is a gift from God."

"You're right, young man. This is what I gave you." A middle-aged man stood in the heavens, looking into a mirror. "Old Emperor, you are my reincarnation, here to love Qiqi on my behalf. It seems you've done it. I wasn't wrong about you. You have your own thoughts. When you're old, I'll take you back. Let's see if you still remember Qiqi then."

Well, your lifespan has been extended. It's the longevity elixir Qiqi made for you. Qiqi is truly amazing now, and she's also clear about what she loves and hates, and decisive in her decisions. It would be so much better if you could be like Qiqi in the immortal world. You wouldn't have to go through so many reincarnations before becoming the person I hoped for in Qiqi's life.

Qiqi, don't let me down. Practice as soon as possible, so that all the things I have arranged will be worthwhile.

The middle-aged man waved his hand and the scene disappeared.

The old emperor's mouth was full of oil. Qiqi took out a pack of wet wipes and distributed them to everyone. Zhou Jingze and Liu Junyang roasted all the mutton, chicken wings, shrimp, and other items and placed them on plates.

Qiqi took out the fruit wine she brewed and poured a glass for each person, then started eating. Everyone had a very happy meal.

Qiqi stayed in the palace for a few more days, cooking grilled lamb chops and steak for her father and Liu Junyang. The old emperor was content these days. With Qiqi by his side and delicious food to eat, his life was worth it.

The old emperor discussed with his son that Qiqi was about to give birth, so he asked Liu Junyang to accompany her to protect her. He also asked him to bring a lot of gifts for Qiqi.

Liu Junyang also left the secret guards he trained to his father and others, asking them to swear to protect the emperor to the death.

On that day, Qiqi proposed that she would return to Da Zhou the next day, and the old emperor readily agreed.

"Okay, Qiqi, we will have a reunion dinner today, and your father will send you away tomorrow." The old emperor said with pretended joy.

"Okay, father. I'll go prepare it. I'll ask my master's wife to cook her specialty and we'll have a big meal. We've been eating beef and mutton these past few days, so we won't have beef and mutton today. Let's have stir-fried dishes." Qiqi said and walked out quickly. She didn't want to see her father's reluctant look.

Qiqi got up early and they arrived at the secret guard's residence. They saw many carriages parked there. Liu Junyang was waiting for Qiqi at the first carriage.

Qiqi stepped forward and pulled Liu Junyang's hand, which was cold. She knew that Junyang had been waiting for them for several hours. At this time, the old emperor also got off the car.

"Father, why are you here too? Didn't I tell you not to send me off?"

"Qiqi, I've decided to let Junyang go to Da Zhou with you. After you give birth to your baby, Junyang will represent our Yongning Kingdom and me. Junyang has also left me many secret guards, so you can go without worry."

Qiqi saw that the old emperor was decisive and resolute. If she disagreed, she would leave as soon as Liu Junyang followed.

"Okay, Father, I agree." Qiqi said. She turned around and glanced at Zhou Jingze. Zhou Jingze understood what Qiqi meant.

He made a gesture, and the leader of the secret guards quickly landed in front of Zhou Jingze. "Master, what are your instructions?"

"You arrange for six experts to stay by the old emperor's side as secret guards to protect his safety."

"Yes, I swear to protect the emperor until my death."

The old emperor was very moved, "Jingze, Qiqi thanks you,"

"Father, you have done so much for Qiqi. I should do this." Zhou Jingze called him "Father" and the old emperor's eyes were filled with tears. This was the first time Zhou Jingze called him that, which meant that Zhou Jingze recognized him as his father.

It wasn't that Zhou Jingze didn't want to call him, it was just that sometimes he couldn't bring himself to do it. He also wanted to see how good the old emperor was to Qiqi, and he would call her after he approved. He had seen how good the old emperor was to Qiqi these past few days. He treated her even better than his father did, so he accepted this father as well.

Zhou Jingze didn't expect that the secret guards he arranged saved the old emperor several times, but that's a story for later.

Qiqi got into the carriage and set off under the old emperor's reluctant gaze.

The old emperor escorted her for more than ten miles. Qiqi got out of the carriage and told her father not to continue escorting her. She watched as the old emperor's carriage turned and drove towards the imperial city. Six secret guards followed.

Qiqi's carriage began to move quickly. Unaware that another carriage was following them from a distance, they drove for another dozen miles. Finally, persuaded by the chief eunuch, they returned to the city.

Qiqi discussed with Zhou Jingze and Liu Junyang that it was inconvenient to have so many carriages following, so they asked the many guards who came to Yongning Kingdom to protect the things sent by the old emperor back to Da Zhou first, and they would go their separate ways, which would be more convenient.

They agreed, and they left behind two carriages.
