Tomorrow is the day of the showdown, and Concubine Ruan never appeared, so she couldn't help but worry again.

But fortunately, they still came over after lunch, and when they saw Ruoshui's anxious appearance, Concubine Ruan couldn't help but smile, and it didn't seem that there were any problems that were difficult to solve, and even looked a little easier than a few days ago.

"Master, why haven't you come to see me lately?"

After a long time, Ruoshui asked in a low voice.

"What? Did you miss me? I thought there was only my precious son in your heart~"

Concubine Ruan quipped, but then thought of Luo Liangsheng, who was thousands of miles away, and his life and death were still unknown at the moment, and his face suddenly darkened again.

Ruoshui saw that her face was a little unpleasant, and knew that she must have remembered Luo Liangsheng, so she hurriedly changed the topic.

"How is the matter of the kitchen showdown, is there any trouble on the envoy's side, and ...... There's nothing wrong with me, is there? ”

In the last sentence, Ruoshui asked really carefully. What she is most afraid of now is being replaced at the end of the day, and this feeling of kicking the door in the air must be ten thousand times more painful than not having a chance in the first place.

In the face of Ruoshui's anxiety, Concubine Ruan did not sell Guanzi, but answered directly.

"Your matter, the emperor has indeed never mentioned it, so our affairs should not be affected, but those envoys are really making a lot of trouble. Bai Xiang didn't know if it was because he was reprimanded by the emperor in front of the civil and military ministers that day, and he has been saying that he is sick at home for the past few days. So in the face of those tricky envoys, the emperor couldn't cope with it, and seemed to have suffered some losses. It may not be so happy lately. ”

"Hmm...... Is it meant to show off~ This kind of behavior is really normal, since this is the case, I will let them taste the feeling of slapping their faces. ”

"A slap in the face?"

Such modern words still occasionally come out of Ruoshui's mouth, and Concubine Ruan naturally can't understand them. Ruoshui's interest was not bad, so he explained, and Concubine Ruan laughed when she heard it.

"It's kind of interesting. A slap in the face? Very apt~"

……

The next day, in the morning, it was the decisive match of the kitchen move, and in the afternoon, it was time for the envoys to face off against the leaders of the Daling Dynasty.

Kitchen tiebreaker. It has always been one of the most important events of the Daling Dynasty, and naturally the masters of the entire palace have been dispatched, and they are all in attendance. Ruoshui dressed up as an ordinary palace maid and followed behind Mama Lin with her head down. Fortunately, the palace is now full of people walking around. No one paid attention to her whereabouts.

Of course, there are still people who have a heart, but under the close attention of Concubine Ruan and Mama Lin, no one has been able to find a chance to start until they walked to the competition venue.

By the time Concubine Ruan arrived, everyone had almost arrived, and even the Empress Dowager had already achieved her position, only the emperor's seat was still vacant. But. The most important figure naturally appeared last, and it is not uncommon for the emperor not to come now. If she has already come, it is Concubine Ruan who is late.

However, according to the ranking, the Queen Mother should be one level higher than Concubine Ruan, and she came earlier than Concubine Ruan at this time, so she is naturally qualified to educate Concubine Ruan. Even Concubine Ruan herself had already thought of it, just waiting to have a verbal battle with her~ but was surprised to see that she just looked at herself, and she didn't say a word.

Concubine Ruan is not a person who finds fault, not to mention that this matter was originally her own fault, so the queen mother didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything, and the two were safe for a while, and the little emperor also came.

When the little emperor came, Ruoshui almost hid her body behind Mama Lin, however, she still felt the little emperor's hot eyes sweeping over her.

However, this look was just swept away, and it was so short that Ruoshui almost thought it was his own illusion. When Ruoshui raised his head again, the little emperor was already sitting in his place, looking at the ministers below with his head held high, with a majestic temperament in his eyebrows and eyes, and he looked much more mature than when he met him before.

As soon as the emperor sat down, the ministers below all knelt down, except for the two empress dowagers and Concubine Ruan on the side who were elders and did not need to salute, everyone else knelt down.

Among them, a few envoys from the small affiliated countries were extremely abrupt.

They were originally different from other Da Ling people in terms of dress, and at this time they were arrogant, although they knelt down, they were not satisfied at all, and others only needed to take a look at them, and they could see that their disrespect was coming.

The little emperor's brows immediately furrowed, and he looked like he was about to get angry, but he still endured it and nodded at the small circle, and the small circle shouted.

"Zhongqing is flat."

Well~ I actually learned to endure it, and there is progress!

Ruoshui, who was standing aside, couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the time for you to leap into the dragon gate, I won't say much else, try to use all your kung fu~ I want to see how much ability my people have!"

The little emperor said this quite skillfully, and he quietly instigated all the people present. After hearing these words, the lifters said that they would definitely be able to show their skills, and there were so many people next to them who understood that they were outsiders, so they were even more geared up.

"Let's go!"

As soon as the small circle announced, everyone in the audience began to get busy. For a while, the sound of chopping vegetables, the sound of shouting, and the sound of spatulas colliding became one, and so many top chefs gathered in this place, so that Ruoshui, a person who knows how to cook, was really pleasing to the eye.

Among so many participants, Ruoshui soon saw an acquaintance.

Jia Yunwei!

Jia Yunwei of Meimeixuan, as she expected, passed the battle all the way and walked to this palace test, but I don't know if this Daling Dynasty Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, he can still hold on to the last moment.

Ruoshui has no chance to participate, so, as a former representative of Xiangnan County, she still hopes that Jia Yunwei can win the first place in this competition, after all, this is also to add glory to their Xiangnan County.

However, Jia Yunwei looked absent-minded, his eyes always seemed to be glancing at Concubine Ruan, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was looking for someone.

Ruoshui quickly understood this, he must be looking for himself~ It seems that Jia Yunwei must have discovered himself after a fuss in the preliminary competition that day. It's just that he has been following Concubine Ruan's side, and he shouldn't have a chance to meet him, so he ran to the test site in this palace, and he couldn't help but look around.
