Chương 227: Chapter 227 - A Ball of Fire

The scholars and masters of Bailu Academy were present, along with the head chefs and two shopkeepers from Jiwei Residence and Zuixian Building.

After hearing about Qiao Xiaomai's current situation from Yang Ye, Bai Zhi became even more resentful.

Was it acceptable for a country girl who came up with two recipes to enjoy recognition in front of the Emperor?

Wasn't this childishly ridiculous?

Many dedicated officials who served Daqi until their death didn't have such honor!

Why should Qiao Xiaomai, a mere country girl, earn this?!

She was determined to trample Qiao Xiaomai into dust, to prove that Emperor Yongan had made a mistake!

Thus, she announced the competition, intending to make a big deal out of it.

As a princess, she invited everyone from the Academy to watch the competition, and of course, people had to give her face.

Hence, everyone was present.
