Everyone present was startled by Rong Fei's shriek, and Leng Qiyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, "These are lobsters!"

It turned out that there were two foot-long lobsters in the box. One of them crawled to the side of the box and held up a pair of large pincers in a demonstration.

Dongfang Haotian looked at the lobster and said, "My beloved concubine, can you eat this?"

Leng Qiyue nodded. "It's edible, the taste is very delicious."

The Minister of the Left said, "Just now, the Imperial Concubine called it a lobster. Since this thing could eat, it shouldn't be called a lobster. The Emperor is the Son of the True Dragon, how can he eat it? That is a great disrespect. "

Leng Qiyue's face was filled with black lines. "Then let the Minister of the Left reward his talent and give him a name."

The Minister of the Left actually puffed up his chest with a proud look on his face, "Since the Empress thinks highly of this old official, then I shall make a fool of myself."

When Leng Qiyue saw his expression, she couldn't help but silently curse, "No wonder consort Rong is so arrogant, it's all learned from a narcissistic father like her."

Zuo Xiang looked at the lobster and thought for a moment before stretching out his hand to touch it. In the end, the lobster immediately clamped onto his palm, causing him to cry out in pain. He did not forget to say, "Reporting to the emperor, this prawn has a pair of giant pincers."

Leng Qiyue covered her mouth and secretly laughed. Dongfang Haotian nodded and said, "Okay, let's call it Claw Prawns."

The eunuch at the side opened up the lobster pincers for the Minister of the Left. His palm was dripping with blood and he was in a very sorry state.

Dongfang Haotian saw the situation and said: "Minister Zuo, go down and bandage your wounds. We'll come back to take a look later."

The Minister of the Left walked towards the pharmacy helplessly. He hated that lobster to the bone.

"My beloved concubine, let's go and see what's in those boxes." Dongfang Haotian was in a good mood. He pulled Leng Qiyue towards those opened boxes.

Leng Qiyue didn't even let him guess and directly introduced him. "This case is pitch-black and filled with thorns, called sea urchins. The gallbladder inside is very delicious, but the most delicious and raw ones are not ripe well. This case is a sea ear, it looks like an ear, doesn't it? " Actually, that box was abalone. She didn't want to be questioned about why this thing looked like a shellfish but was called a fish.

"Big sister, big sister. There's a box of black bugs here. " She was as excited as if she had found a new continent.

Sister, this is not a black insect, it's a sea cucumber. Because it's as nutritious as the ginseng on the land, it's called a sea ginseng.

"My beloved concubine, the crab is here." Dongfang Haotian pointed to another box.

Leng Qiyue looked over. There were eight crabs tied up there. They weren't small and were all alive. Leng Qiyue took a look and said, "That's right. We're all alive. Why don't we have a seafood feast today?"

Dongfang Haotian faintly smiled and said: "Then I'll have to trouble you with your beloved concubine."

"Big sister, big sister. Come and see what this is! It's so soft and smooth, so much fun! " She had discovered a new world.

Leng Qiyue walked over and saw that the box was four times bigger than the other boxes. There was a large squid lying quietly inside. This is something from the deep sea. How did the fishermen catch it? Could the net go that deep?

"My beloved concubine, what is this?" Dongfang Haotian was also very curious about this.

Leng Qiyue replied, "These are squid, and can also be eaten."

"Men, take these inside." Dongfang Haotian couldn't wait to give the order, he really wanted to have a taste of these strange things.

"Your majesty, did you throw away these seaweed?" A eunuch stepped forward to report.

Leng Qiyue saw that there was a basket behind him, and that it was filled with large pieces of kelp. She took the lead and said, "Don't throw them away. They can also be eaten."

Rong Fei covered her nose and said, "What a smelly taste, can these things really be eaten?"

She sniffed twice and said, "It doesn't smell bad, but it does smell a little weird."

Leng Qiyue said helplessly, "It smells like fish."

"Oh, that's right, it's the smell of fish, hehe …"

Leng Qiyue ignored them and walked into the imperial kitchen. She instructed the chefs to start cooking the seafood dishes. Steamed, steamed, braised, fried. It took him more than four hours to finish.

Dongfang Haotian was already sitting at the table, waiting. There was also the empress dowager, concubine, and several ministers. The Minister of the Left was also present, and from the way he was staring at the lobster, it was obvious that he wanted to take revenge.

As the crabs were steamed, no one dared to make a move first. They didn't want to embarrass themselves.

Leng Qiyue first picked up a crab and used a shears to cut off its crab claws. Then, she opened the crab shell and scooped out a piece of crab yolk with a spoon before stuffing it into Dongfang Haotian's mouth.

Dongfang Haotian tasted it and said, "Mm, not bad. It smells delicious."

After digging up a crab, Dongfang Haotian hadn't had enough to eat yet. He could only look on helplessly. There weren't many crabs this time, just enough for everyone on the table today. Leng Qiyue also cut off the ends of the crab claws, using her thinner claws to cut out some of the crab meat. After soaking it in the ginger sauce, she fed it to Dongfang Haotian.

As for the others, the Minister of the Left had his hand pierced by the claws of the crab. The empress dowager had only eaten the crab's yellow yellow yellow, and her claws hadn't touched it. She was probably afraid that this servant would make a fool of himself.

Some of the ministers just chewed on the food. This kind of deliciousness was enough to make people forget about etiquette.

As Leng Qiyue served the emperor's meal, she observed the expressions of the others. All the ministers, including the Minister of the Left, were enjoying their meal. The concubines were reserved and ate slightly less, but they all ate a few mouthfuls. Her Majesty seemed particularly fond of abalone sea cucumbers and ate quite a bit.

Dongfang Haotian ate until his stomach swelled. He couldn't eat anymore, so he said: "Very good, little princess, you can celebrate by entering the palace and making a seafood feast!"

The ministers echoed, "The Emperor is wise."

Dongfang Haotian patted the back of Leng Qiyue's hand and said, "My beloved concubine has a wide range of knowledge. In the future, you will often have to help me manage national affairs!"

By her side, the empress dowager said, "Does the emperor intend to make Imperial Concubine Leng his successor?"

Dongfang Haotian laughed, "Since the empress dowager also thinks that Lady Leng is the empress's choice, then Zhen …"

The empress dowager abruptly spoke up to interrupt him. "Your majesty, the loss of the Phoenix Seal isn't a secret. From what I can see, how about we make the person who found the Phoenix Seal the empress?"

Dongfang Haotian didn't expect the empress dowager to say this. Earlier, he had sent a message to the empress dowager through consort Rong, causing her to mistakenly believe that Leng Qiyue had found the phoenix imprint. Could she be forcing Leng Qiyue to hand over the Phoenix Seal?

Leng Qiyue lowered her head in silence, Rong Fei'er rolled her eyes and said, "Is the seal elder sister obtained a phoenix seal? If you do, take it out quickly. Jun Wu Yi will make a joke and the Emperor will bestow you the title of Empress. "

Leng Qiyue raised her head and looked at Rong Fei, feigning innocence as she said, "I'll give that seal to someone else."

As she spoke, the women in the seats all changed their expressions.
