"What does the second prince think of my Yuan Chu's pastry chef's skills?" What a shrewd person the Empress Dowager was. Seeing that it was almost time, he wiped the corners of his mouth, sat upright, looked at Hua Yuebai with a smile and asked.

In terms of this taste alone, the pastries made by Feng Gao and Jian Ning have their own merits, and there is a reason to say that either one wins. Looking at the modeling, Feng Gao's painting on top of pastries has not been tried before. And the simple cake method is unprecedented.

If it is really for the Empress Dowager to say, it will naturally not let Yuan Chu lose. But if it is really said by her mouth, it will inevitably end up in the name of favoritism. So he simply threw this problem to Hua Yuebai.

Hua Yuebai listened to the words of the Empress Dowager, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart, what a cunning old woman!

Although I think like this in my heart, I am definitely not rude to others on my face. Hua Yuebai adhered to her usual elegance, stood up, arched her hand at the Empress Dowager and Long Zeye, and said with a smile: "This competition is really an eye-opener for Zaixia, but Feng Gao is my Lingsui person, if he is allowed to judge Zai, it will inevitably make people feel unfair."

"Indeed, this is a competition between Ling Sui and Yuan Chu, if you let the relevant people judge, I am afraid that it will be discussed. In my opinion, it is better to have Prince Yan to make a judgment, what do you think? Long Zeye obviously had an unkind look at Xiahou Yan.

Xiahou Yan naturally felt Long Zeye's eyes, although he felt a little puzzled, but Xiahou Yan still didn't care.

For Long Zeye, letting Xiahou Yan evaluate it definitely outweighs the disadvantages. The relationship between Xiahouyan and Jian Ning is definitely not simple, and Xiahouyan is obviously different from Jian Ning. Long Zeye didn't feel that at this time that was very important to Jian Ning, Xiahou Yan would not help her.

And it was just this opportunity to take a look at Jian Ning's reaction to Xiahou Yan.

"The main hall also thinks that His Majesty's mention is very good, so it will be annoying to Prince Yan." Hua Yuebai looked at Xiahou Yan. also gladly said.

Xiahou Yan put down the wine glass, glanced at Long Zeye and Hua Yuebai with a smile, and didn't say a word. Only faintly spit out three words: "Jian Ningsheng." ”

Xiahou Yan's straightforwardness simply made Long Zeye and Hua Yuebai slightly stunned. Originally, they thought it would take a lot of effort, but they didn't expect such a competition. It's going to end after Xiahou Yan three words.

"Prince Yan, what do you say about this evaluation? Isn't it because you Dongshang is about to marry Yuan Chu, so you deliberately said this? "If Feng Gao loses, Ling Sui loses. Lingsui's group of old antiques were naturally unconvinced, and they were full of dissatisfaction with Xiahou Yan one by one, and even began to question Xiahou Yan regardless of it.

It stands to reason that Hua Yuebai should have stepped forward to stop it, but Hua Yuebai also wanted to know how Xiahou Yan would deal with it at the moment, so he also turned a blind eye. Nothing was done.

The people of Lingsui were so rude, and some people on the side of Dongshang couldn't sit still for a long time. But because the prince didn't say anything, they really didn't dare to speak at will.

Xiahou Yan glanced coldly at the ministers of Lingsui, and said with disdain in his eyes: "Look at the plate in front of your prince, can't it explain the problem?" It's just stupid! ”

After saying this, Xiahou Yan instantly stood up and said to Long Zeye above: "Your Majesty, since the results of the competition have been released, the main hall is not strong enough to drink, so I will leave first." ”

I barely waited for Long Zeye's answer. Xiahou Yan walked out like this. Many people felt that Xiahou Yan's move was too arrogant, and he didn't put Yuan Chu and Ling Sui in his eyes at all.

Long Zeye looked at the figure of Xiahou Yan leaving, and his eyes were slightly deep. Look at the people on Ling Sui's side just now. Obviously, they were all stunned on the spot, and they were powerless to refute Xiahou Yan's words.

Because the fact in front of them was that their second prince only used one bite of the pastry made by Feng Gao, but the pastry made by Jian Ning was all used up.

Hua Yuebai looked at such a result, and couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart. I only ate one bite of Feng Gao's longevity peach because I was too familiar with Feng Gao's craftsmanship, and I didn't like sweets very much. And after eating the pastry made by Jian Ning, it was because I was surprised and couldn't believe it. The quality of the taste in this middle is very small, because both pastries are rare and good.

But what I didn't expect was that Xiahou Yan used this as a term. And he can't make more excuses, otherwise Ling Sui will definitely end up with a notorious reputation of losing and not admitting his account.

"What a Xiahou Yan!" Hua Yuebai looked at the back of the one who left. Said silently in my heart.

And for such a result, Long Zeye was obviously very satisfied, looking at Xiahou Yan's back. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he thought in his heart: "It's worthy of Xiahou Yan!" ”

The results of the competition are out. Jian Ning wins. In fact, when she heard Xiahou Yan's sentence "Jian Ningsheng", she was still in a state of disbelief. She thought that Xiahou Yan would not help herself because she had refused his request before, but she didn't expect him to let herself win.

Although Feng Gao lost the competition, he didn't make a big fuss. It's just a pair of eyes staring straight at Jian Ning, maybe Feng Gao will never believe that he will actually lose, and he will lose to a little girl.

After the banquet, Jian Ning followed Long Zeye into the imperial study for the second time.

"I don't know, you're quite capable! You can actually say that King Xiang will help you enter the palace. Long Zeye sat on the dragon chair and looked at Jian Ning and said word by word.

Looking at Long Zening who was standing on the side again, Long Zeye said lightly: "Don't you think Brother Wang should give me an explanation?" What a crime to bring someone into the palace without permission and sneak into the imperial dining room! ”

Long Zening just wanted to explain, but he didn't want Jian Ning to suddenly kneel on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, King Xiang was also forced to be helpless in this matter, if you want to blame it, then blame the people's daughter!" ”

"Forced to be helpless? You're bold enough! Just picked up a life, so anxious to go to the prison of the Criminal Department again! Long Zeye looked at Jian Ning and said coldly.

"The folk girl didn't dare. But the food garden is of great significance to the people's daughters, and the people's daughters have to get it back no matter what. Otherwise, even if he died, he would have no shame to see his father. Besides, the life of the people's daughter is all in the emperor's thoughts, and now that God has given the people's daughter a chance, how can she not gamble! Jian Ning raised her head and looked into Long Zeye's eyes.

Long Zening couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, it really seemed like something that Jian Ning could do. sighed, stepped forward and saluted Long Zeye and said, "Brother Huang, this time it was the brother's negligence, if the brother wants to be punished, the brother will never complain." ”

"Brother Wang, I'm very curious about where this 'negligence' of yours is?" After listening to Long Zening's words, Long Zeye actually thought a little higher of Jian Ning, after all, it was not easy to make Long Zening compromise.

"Brother Huang, this matter is difficult to explain, I implore Brother Huang not to ask again." Long Zening glanced at Jian Ning and said helplessly.

Although Jian Ning bowed her head and knelt there at the moment, when she talked about this matter now, it was obvious that the whole person was even more nervous than Long Zening.

When Long Zeye heard Long Zening say this, he was even more curious. But Long Zening didn't want to say, so he really couldn't ask anything. Then he turned his gaze to Jian Ning.

Jian Ning felt Long Zeye's gaze, and suddenly lowered her head, eager to disappear directly.

"Condensation"

"Your Majesty, the people don't know anything about King Xiang." Before Long Zeye could speak, Jian Ning had already spoken. Not to mention that Long Zening didn't want to say it herself, she couldn't say much. Even what happened last night, it's really inconvenient for people to know anymore, otherwise she would really have no face to live.

"You're just that, ah!" Long Zeye glanced at Jian Ning and snorted coldly.

"Brother Huang, no matter what, this time Jian Ning won, it can be regarded as winning glory for Yuan Chu, it is meritorious, Brother Huang, don't pursue it again!" Long Zening really didn't want to dwell on that topic anymore, so he immediately changed the topic and helped Jian Ning speak.

Long Zeye looked at Jian Ning quietly for a while, and suddenly said: "Jian Ning, you are bold and have a bit of ability, but you didn't win this bet."

Hearing this, Jian Ning's heart almost sank to the bottom, but before she had time to sigh her sad fate, she heard Long Zeye continue: "But it can't be regarded as you lost the bet, although you won the competition and won glory for Yuan Chu, but you designed to be the prince of the dynasty, and you entered the palace privately, so the merits and demerits are offset, and the unsealing of the Food Taste Garden will not be mentioned for the time being." ”

"Leave it aside? Wouldn't that mean risking your life in vain! Jian Ning roared in her heart, "What a Long Zeye, it's purely to unload the mill and kill the donkey!" I have done so much by myself, and I have risked my life to enter the palace"

Looking at the obvious unwillingness and anger in Jian Ning's eyes, Long Zeye pretended not to know and said, "What, is there any problem?" ”

Jian Ning, who was almost submissive, immediately shook her head quickly, not daring to think about it anymore.

"If it's okay, just step down." After Long Zeye finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Jian Ning.

After Jian Ning left, Long Zeye pushed away the recital in front of the table, leaned back against the dragon chair, and slowly closed his eyes. Jian Ning, is that you? Or did I recognize the wrong person? If so, why don't you know me at all?

Jian Ning, do you know that the Food Garden is not important to me at all. But if you return the food garden, you won't stay in Kyoto for long. Then I really won't be able to catch you anymore

Jian Ning walked towards the palace gate under the leadership of Long Zening. Seeing Ruan Zijin and Jiu'er waiting at the gate of the palace from a distance, Jian Ning suddenly stopped, looking a little hesitant.

After Long Zening took a few steps, he found that Jian Ning hadn't followed, and suddenly turned around and stared straight at Jian Ning twice.

Jian Ning was already nervous, but when she found that Long Zening was looking at her, her cheeks were even redder, and she said a little unnaturally: "This time I entered the palace, no matter what the purpose of the prince is, I still want to thank you." ”

"Oh? This king is very curious, why don't you think that this king is being persecuted by you? Or do you think this king will have some purpose? Long Zening said as he approached Jian Ning little by little. (To be continued) R466
