Tuoba Lei straightened up, then stared at Zhu Nian and said, "How is Tianxiang Pavilion doing lately?"

"Thanks to the emperor, everything is fine. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info," Zhu Nian replied with a smile.

"Oh, how did I hear you were in some trouble some time ago?" Tuoba Lei stared at Zhu Nian with sharp eyes.

"Hehe, it's just a little family matter, I didn't handle it properly before, and now everything has been resolved. Zhu Nian nodded appropriately.

"Hmm. My imperial chef just needs to be smart. Tuoba Lei nodded with satisfaction, "If you are really defeated by the wicked woman, it seems that I have no vision." ”

"Emperor Xie trusts. Zhu Nian bowed slightly.

"What events have you been hosting lately?" asked Tuoba Lei.

"The emperor also heard about it?" Zhu Nian was a little surprised.

"The publicity of your event is huge, I can't understand the people's feelings if I am the emperor!"

"Hehe, I just wanted to recruit a few more cooks, so I prepared a competition, and by the way, I also gained some fame. Zhu Nian smiled.

"Do you need me to sit in charge for you?" Tuoba Lei said jokingly.

"If the emperor goes, how can I show my strengths. Zhu Nian replied easily.

She was a little moved in her heart, although she knew that the emperor would not really go through the motions for her, but as far as he quipped, there were few people in the world who had this kind of honor.

"Okay, if you need my help in the process, as long as it doesn't damage our royal honor, I can consider helping you. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Zhu Nian bent his body slightly and saluted Tuoba Lei.

"Okay, you can go down too, I still have a fold to review. ”

"Yes, the mind retired first. ”

After speaking, Zhu Nian saluted again and left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Ahem... cough!" It didn't take long for Tuoba Lei to cough again.

"Your Majesty!" Shen Gonggong stepped forward nervously and poured a glass of water for Tuoba Lei.

"Hey, it's good that the disease brought out of the mother's womb can be suppressed so far. Tuoba Lei shook his head helplessly.

"Don't say that, the emperor, with the Linghu divine doctor, your illness will definitely be cured. Shen Gonggong comforted.

Tuoba Lei shook his head and waved his hand, and said: "I don't care about this now, the most important thing at the moment is to set up the crown prince as soon as possible, the position of the prince has been hanging, and I can't let go of it in my heart." ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the current princes are all very good. ”

"Hey, it's because they're all good that I'm more worried about them killing each other and causing open and secret fighting. Tuoba Lei said helplessly, "If a country wants to prosper, it needs their concerted efforts!"

"Hmm. Gonggong Shen also frowned slightly, a little worried about Tuoba Lei.

On the other side, Zhu Nian was wandering around the palace, and this time she was alone, which seemed more leisurely.

She came to the back garden of the palace from memory.

Walking through the promenade on the lake, Zhu Nian came to a small pavilion in the middle of the lake and sat down.

As far as the eye can see, the surface of the lake is calm and sparkling, and there are ten miles of flowers and trees planted on the shore of the lake, pink, yellow, purple, various colors, purple and red.

The breeze slowly blew through the ends of Zhu Nian's hair, and she slowly closed her eyes to feel the fresh breath of nature.

I can't remember how long it has been since I've had this kind of comfort.

In modern times, smog is everywhere and sunny weather is rare.

In ancient times, she was busy fighting Tao and Zhu Yanran, running Tianxiang Pavilion, cooking for the emperor, and was busy almost every day.

"Girl!" a clear female voice came, interrupting Zhu Nian's pleasant time.

Zhu Nian opened his eyes abruptly and looked in the direction of the pavilion.

A beautiful girl in a pale pink palace dress stood there.

Zhu Nian frowned without a trace, this girl had high eyebrows and a pair of red phoenix eyes, leaving her with a sour and mean feeling.

And she didn't know if it was her own delusion, but she felt that this little palace maid raised her chin slightly, and she had a sense of domineering and arrogant.

"Who are you?" Zhu Nian asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"My mother has invited a girl. The little palace maid said.

"Niangniang?" Zhu Nian felt strange, she didn't know any Niangniang!

"My mother is the most noble woman in the palace today. The little palace maid said proudly.

Zhu Nian thought for a while, nodded, and promised to meet this "most noble" lady.

On the way, Zhu Nian finally learned that the palace maid's name was Luluo, and the mother in her mouth was the emperor's concubine - the precious concubine.

The queen died early, and the queen mother also died a few years ago, so now the precious concubine has become the highest status among the women in the harem.

Coming to the dormitory where the precious concubine lived, in front of the gate of the Nagato Palace, Zhu Nian paused.

She thought about it all the way, but she didn't think that this precious concubine might be looking for her for something.

"Let's go!" said the pothos impatiently.

Zhu Nian ignored her, and walked directly past the side of the pothos and walked in front of her.

"You!" pothos had never been so ignored before, and she was angry for a while.

Zhu Nian rolled his eyes behind him: Hmph, the dog fights people!

The pothos trotted a few steps, came to the door before Zhu Nian, and then pushed the door open directly.

"Let's go in!" said the pothos in a strange way, and then stepped in first.

It's still a luxurious and stylish decoration, and after seeing too much, Zhu Nian feels weird.

She followed the pothos into the inner hall and met the precious concubine who invited her to come.

Dressed in a graceful and luxurious outfit, with a plump figure and outstanding appearance, some charming and enchanting.

Looking at the age, he is twenty-five or sixteen years old.

If it weren't for the high status and strong power of her maiden family, a concubine of her age like a precious concubine would only be able to sit in the status of a noble concubine at most.

However, seeing the precious concubine, Zhu Nian shook her head, with her understanding of history, a concubine with a high status and a hard background like this will generally end up miserable.

"Are you Zhu Xinnian?" said the precious concubine in a disdainful tone.

But if you look closely, you can see the fire of gas in her eyes.

She didn't expect that this woman who made the emperor make an exception and was named the third-grade imperial chef was so young, and she also had a peerless beauty.

"Exactly. Zhu Nian replied.

"I didn't see anything good, why did the emperor take a fancy to you?" the precious concubine did not hide her disdain.

"I'm just a little bit better at cooking than anyone else. Zhu Nian replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

She snickered in her heart, it turned out that she came to her because she was afraid of being threatened.

Sure enough, where there are women, there will be wars, not to mention this kind of woman with super combat effectiveness in the palace.

She could already smell the strong smell of vinegar from a long distance.

Zhu Nian's attitude towards the precious concubine made the precious concubine feel very angry, but the noble aura made her endure it.

"Since you are good at cooking, show your hands to this palace, and let this palace see what skills you have to catch the emperor's stomach. The precious concubine said.

"Niangniang, the emperor also ordered me some things, I don't have time now. ”

"You!" "You!" the precious concubine's eyes were on fire, "Do you dare to disobey the words of this palace?"

"Niangniang's status is noble, how dare I not listen, it's just that after weighing, I think the emperor's orders will be more important. Zhu Nian replied with a smile.

"Or does Niang Niang think that I should abandon the emperor's orders and obey your dispatch?" Zhu Nian added.

"Smack!" the precious concubine was furious, and slapped her palm on the table fiercely.

"You little cook, you dare to talk like this to this palace!"

"Don't dare, please check it out!" Zhu Nian said.

"You!" the precious concubine moved, trying to call the guards in.

"Mother!" "Niangniang!" the green pothos tugged at the corner of the precious concubine's sleeve.

When the precious concubine turned her head, she shook her head and made a look, reminding the precious concubine that they were secretly invited by Zhu Xin, and they should not make too much noise.

Only then did the precious concubine think about it, and her heart trembled.

If she really called the guards and alarmed the emperor, wouldn't her image in the emperor's heart be greatly reduced.

"Zhu Xinnian, this palace has no other meaning, in fact, I just want to tell you that you will come to this palace here in the future and teach this palace to cook. The precious concubine calmed down and said to Zhu Nian.

The precious concubine is planning to let Zhu Nian teach her to cook, and she can cook for the emperor herself in the future, where do you still use Zhu Xinnian and the like.

"Niangniang, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I have a Tianxiang Pavilion to run, and I have to go into the palace from time to time to cook for the emperor, I really don't have time. Zhu Nian said.

"You, that means you don't want to?" said the precious concubine viciously.

"Actually, to be honest, cooking really requires talent. Zhu Xinnian was not afraid of death, and added.

The precious concubine did not speak, but gritted her teeth angrily.

"Or, Niangniang, you will discuss with the emperor again?" Zhu Nian said.

She knew that it was impossible for the precious concubine to do this, so she boldly blocked her words.

“......”

"If there is nothing to do, I will leave first, the things ordered by the emperor have not been done yet!" Zhu Nian said arrogantly, "It will be good to inform me after you discuss it with the emperor." ”

After speaking, Zhu Nian left the Changmen Palace without looking back.

There was a "crackling" sound from the inner hall behind him, and the porcelain fell to the ground and shattered.

Zhu Nian's attitude towards the precious concubine is estimated to be the first case in the history of Daxuan.
