After whipping up a meal and guiding those cooks how to prepare a few more dishes, only then did Ren Baqian leave the imperial kitchen.
He recalled that the empress asked him to finish with his story. Since he didn't have anything to do at the moment, he had better go and meet the empress.
These days, he was also somewhat more familiar with the interior of the palace. At the very least, he was familiarized with the route from Pingle Park to Yangxin Palace Hall where the empress resided. Also, he was more or less familiar with the route from Qingxin Palace Hall to the imperial kitchen.
Inside the palace, the empress was twirling her hair with her fingertips. After a short while, she released her hand and her hair returned to its original state. Hearing that Ren Baqian wanted to seek an audience with her, she was stunned for a while as according to the date, he was supposed to return to Earth.
"Summon him in," the empress sat up straight and instructed.
