On the second day, Zhao Qingzao woke up early, and after the palace maid helped her comb her hair, Zhao Qingzao found that the palace maid was going to help her change her bedclothes, so she hurriedly said: "I'll change it myself, you can retreat first." ”

What Zhao Qingzao couldn't stand the most was to let others serve her to change her clothes, even in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't let Xiaoyu enter the house when she changed her clothes.

It is estimated that because of the irritability, Zhao Qingzao did not sleep well all night, after changing his clothes, Zhao Qingzao walked to the bronze mirror, looked at himself in the bronze mirror with a tired face, and said helplessly: "I don't know when I will be able to leave this ghost place." ”

"Young Lady Shen, have you dressed up? The queen mother is already waiting, you better hurry up. At this moment, Xiao Tianzi suddenly shouted outside the door.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao stretched his waist, then opened the door and went to Chaofeng Hall with Xiao Tianzi to meet the queen.

"Empress Qiqi, Mrs. Shen is already waiting outside. Xiao Tianzi walked into the hall and said to the queen.

"Well, let her in. The queen said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Qingzao took the initiative to walk into the Chaofeng Palace, and there was no need for Xiao Tianzi to pass back and forth.

The queen was eating breakfast, and there were a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas on the table, just eating so well for breakfast, and the queen just ate one or two bites before letting people take it down, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help frowning, thinking that the queen was really a waste.

"Queen Mother, the women dare to ask, do you have to eat so much for breakfast every day?" Zhao Qingzao suddenly saluted the queen, and then asked.

Hearing Zhao Qingzao ask, the queen was stunned, and then put down the spoon in her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said: "This palace has eaten these breakfasts for many years, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with breakfast?"

"Queen Mother, there is indeed a problem with these breakfasts, and it is very likely to cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, if the queen wants to save the emperor's heart, it is best not to eat such a hearty breakfast. Zhao Qingzao pointed to the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table, and then said to the queen.

Hearing this, the queen looked curious, and immediately urged: "Qingzao girl, if you have anything to say, just say it, what am I going to do, tell me quickly!"

The queen looked anxious, it seems that she really wants to capture the emperor's heart, and now the situation of the harem competition for favor is intensifying, if the queen can't save the emperor's heart, she will be trampled on the head by the favored concubine, how can she, as the queen of the dynasty, endure this kind of thing.

"The queen mother, the emperor is a person who loves the people, the war has just ended in recent years, and now the treasury is empty, many people are still worried about their livelihood, and the queen mother, as the mother of a country, is still eating such a hearty breakfast, if the emperor sees it, he will definitely be unhappy. Zhao Qingzao said directly to the queen, and did not hide the thoughts in his heart, but said everything in his heart.

Zhao Qingzao's words made the queen wake up, no wonder the emperor left angrily before, it turned out to be because of this, thinking like this, the queen showed a look of chagrin, only blamed herself for why she didn't think of this at the time, so that other concubines would take advantage of the opportunity to win the emperor's favor.

"Qingzao girl, what should I do now? The emperor must be angry with this palace, and this palace will go to the imperial garden to face those annoying concubines later, and they will definitely show off the emperor's favor in front of this palace again. When it came to the other concubines, the queen's expression was a little hideous, and it could be seen that she really hated those concubines who competed for favor.

"Queen Mother, from today you will change all the breakfast, the women will guide the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room, let them prepare some delicious porridge and side dishes for the queen mother, if the queen mother thinks it is delicious, then you can invite the emperor to have breakfast together, and dispel the emperor's prejudice against the mother. "Zhao Qingzao has good cooking skills, so she will definitely not waste her good cooking skills this time.

Hearing this, the queen didn't seem to believe that Zhao Qingzao could cook, and asked rhetorically: "Miss Qingzao, do you really know how to cook?"

"Queen Niang, when the woman first came to Biancheng, she was the proprietress of the shop, and she usually made some pastries to get to the Zuiyue Building, if the queen didn't believe it, the woman would go to the imperial dining room to make some pastries now, and after the queen mother tasted it, she would naturally know whether the woman was telling the truth or a lie. Zhao Qingzao said with a confident smile, not worried about his cooking skills regressing at all.

Since Zhao Qingzao said so, of course the queen will not stop her, it just so happens that the queen is going to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers later, so after thinking for a while, she said to Zhao Qingzao: "Then you go to the imperial dining room to make pastries now, the palace will let Xiao Tianzi accompany you, and when you make the pastries, you will send the pastries to the imperial garden with Xiao Tianzi, and the palace wants you to know the concubines in the palace." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Qingzao agreed, and then followed Xiao Tianzi to the imperial dining room, Zhao Qingzao has not seen what the imperial dining room is like, she has only seen it on TV before, so this time she has the opportunity to see it with her own eyes, and she is also looking forward to it.

"Mrs. Shen, this is the imperial dining room, the imperial chef Zhang in it has a very bad temper, you don't care about the villain, don't worry about him, let alone quarrel with him, otherwise with his bull temper, maybe he will drive both of us out of the imperial dining room." Xiao Tianzi took Zhao Qingzao to the door of the imperial dining room, and then whispered.

Zhao Qingzao couldn't help frowning, thinking that his temper was very bad, if this Zhang Imperial Chef's temper was worse than her, then he would definitely quarrel later, after all, Zhao Qingzao hated others pointing fingers on the side when cooking, and the nagging was endless.

"Father-in-law, if this Imperial Chef Zhang goes too far, I will definitely quarrel with him, if you can, you let him wait outside now, I will make the pastries soon, and then leave as soon as possible." Zhao Qingzao thought for a while, and then said to Xiao Tianzi.

Hearing this, Xiao Tianzi looked embarrassed and was about to speak, but he didn't expect a sneer to come from behind him, and as soon as Zhao Qingzao and Xiao Tianzi raised their heads, they saw Imperial Chef Zhang standing at the door of the imperial dining room.

"I'm the boss of the imperial dining room, who are you? You dare to let me wait outside and tell you! Even if the queen mother comes over in person, she can't let me leave the imperial dining room one step!" Zhang Yuchu glared at a pair of bull's eyes, pointed at Zhao Qingzao's nose, and scolded loudly.

"Imperial Chef Zhang, be careful to speak, what does this matter have to do with the queen's mother? Mrs. Shen is the daughter-in-law of the prime minister and the sister-in-law of General Chu, where can you accuse casually?"

Imperial Chef Zhang was originally a cow temper who didn't eat oil and salt, so he didn't pay attention to Xiao Tianzi at all, but looked at Zhao Qingzao, and continued to scold: "What is the prime minister's daughter-in-law, General Chu's sister-in-law? These are my? The imperial dining room is my decision, I'm not happy now, so don't think about entering the imperial dining room for the two of you!"

Xiao Tianzi is estimated to be the first time to meet Zhang Yuchu's temper, and he doesn't know what to do for a while, is it really necessary to invite the queen mother here, so that Zhang Yuchu can be obedient? I'm afraid that with Zhang Yuchu's temperament, even if the queen mother really comes, he can't let him compromise.

"Imperial Chef Zhang, don't make trouble, the queen mother and the concubines are still waiting in the imperial garden, Mrs. Shen Da Young Lady should make the pastries as soon as possible, and then send them to the imperial garden. Xiao Tianzi was dying, so he could only continue to whisper to Imperial Chef Zhang, hoping that Imperial Chef Zhang would be reasonable and let them enter the imperial dining room to make pastries.

"I don't care about the of those harem women, anyway, I won't let you enter the imperial dining room, you better go back to Chaofeng Hall and make your own fire to cook." Imperial Chef Zhang snorted coldly, and after finishing speaking, he turned around directly and wanted to go back to the imperial dining room.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao, who had not spoken all this time, finally couldn't help it and said, "Stop! If you don't let me enter the imperial dining room, you are afraid that my cooking skills are better than yours, and you will lose face as the boss of the imperial dining room." ”

As soon as the words fell, Imperial Chef Zhang was immediately stunned, and after a while, he slowly turned around, then looked at Zhao Qingzao coldly, and said: "Not old, not small, just because you still want to win me?" Okay, since you said so, I will let you enter the imperial dining room to make pastries now, if your cooking skills are indeed better than mine, the imperial dining room will come and go with you in the future, but ...... If your cooking skills are not so good, then you are not allowed to go one step closer to the Imperial Dining Room in the future. ”

Zhao Qingzao said this on purpose, she just wanted to try to provoke the law to work, but she didn't expect Zhang Yuju to really take the bait, and agreed to let Zhao Qingzao enter the imperial dining room to make pastries, but although Zhao Qingzao's cooking skills are very good, it is still a question whether Zhang Yuchu can be convinced.

"Young Lady Shen, don't promise Imperial Chef Zhang, if you really lose, he will definitely not let you get one step closer to the imperial dining room. Xiao Tianzi knew what kind of character Zhang Yuchu was, so he immediately leaned on Zhao Qingzao's ear and muttered in a low voice.

"Xiao Tianzi, what are you chirping crookedly, are you making pastries, or is this Young Lady Shen making pastries?" asked Zhang Yuchu unhappily.

Although he didn't know the bottom of his heart, this was the only way to let himself enter the imperial dining room to make pastries, so Zhao Qingzao just thought for a while, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's do it, you let us enter the imperial dining room now." ”

Zhao Qingzao agreed so simply, which made Zhang Yuchu and Xiao Tianzi feel very surprised, and after reacting, Zhang Yuchu asked Zhao Qingzao and Xiao Tianzi to walk into the imperial dining room together.

As soon as he entered the imperial dining room, Zhao Qingzao was attracted by the bursts of fragrance and all kinds of ingredients, there are many things that cannot be found outside the palace, Zhao Qingzao is such a person who loves to cook, seeing where these precious ingredients can bear it, he has already walked over to take a closer look.

"Hmph, do you know these ingredients?" Zhang Yuchu found that Zhao Qingzao looked like he couldn't put it down, and snorted coldly, so he asked.

"How can you not know it? This is truffles, snow clams, and eight treasures......" Zhao Qingzao pointed to the ingredients and said directly.

"Okay, what are you doing after talking so much, you better hurry up and make pastries!" It is estimated that Zhao Qingzao really knew, Zhang Yuchu hurriedly interrupted.
