Long Zeye's eyes deepened as he looked at Jian Ning, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

Long Zening watched it from the side, and immediately stood up and said: "Hehe, the imperial grandmother is very concerned about this wedding, and I think Miss Jian should go to Ningshou Palace to see if the imperial grandmother has any special instructions." ”

Long Zeye turned his head to look in Long Zening's direction, and said lightly: "In this case, let's go quickly, so as not to disturb the imperial grandmother's rest if it is late for a while." ”

Hearing this, Jian Ning frowned, judging from the situation just now, if he couldn't talk about a result this time, he would never have a chance again. But looking at Long Zeye's face, she already knew that he didn't want to talk more about it.

Jian Ning was still hesitating, but Long Zening was already ready to take her away. After hesitating for a long time, Jian Ning finally chose to leave. Since it doesn't work here, you have to try somewhere else.

After leaving the imperial study, Long Zening really took her to the Empress Dowager's Ningshou Palace, and after the report, Jian Ning followed Long Zening and walked in.

The Empress Dowager obviously liked Long Zening very much, and as soon as she saw him enter, she kept asking him about his recent situation.

Jian Ning had been standing quietly to the side, until the Empress Dowager noticed her, and then stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

The Empress Dowager is still the same as before, still so graceful and luxurious, and inviolable. The only difference is that because of Long Zening's relationship, the Empress Dowager has a little more love for her grandmother than Jian Ning has ever seen.

The Empress Dowager looked at Jian Ning for a long time with a little doubt, then looked at Long Zening and said, "Isn't this the daughter of Jian Baiwei?" Why did I enter the palace with you? ”

Although Jian Ning failed to win the final God of Food Competition, her various deeds have long impressed her, even the Empress Dowager is no exception. After all, Jian Ning had insulted her proudest grandson like that.

Long Zening immediately smiled and said to the Empress Dowager: "What the imperial grandmother said is right, she is Jian Ning. The royal brother ordered her to be in charge of the big wedding banquet in a few days. So I came here to greet the imperial grandmother, and by the way, asked the imperial grandmother if she had any special instructions? ”

"Nonsense!" As soon as the Empress Dowager heard Long Zening's words, she stood up all of a sudden, and shouted angrily with a calm face.

"Imperial grandmother, don't be in a hurry to get angry, it's not good for your health, sit down first." Long Zening had already guessed that the Empress Dowager would object, and he didn't want the Empress Dowager's anger to be even higher than he had expected.

"How can the mourning family not be angry. How important is the ceremony of marrying the queen. It's not just civil and military officials. There are also envoys from various countries, and such an important banquet is still not at ease when it is handed over to the imperial chef mourning family. How can such a little girl be in charge now! The Empress Dowager looked very excited.

She was very fond of the emperor's wedding this time, not only because it was a great joy for Yuan Chu to marry the queen and celebrate with the whole world, but also because the envoys of various countries would be invited to attend. It is just the time to show the prestige of Yuan Chu, how can there be the slightest difference.

"No, I can't. The mourning family wants to ask the emperor in person, what he thinks, how can such a big event be child's play! "The more to the end. The more the Empress Dowager could not calm down, she was even ready to go to the imperial study.

When Long Zening saw it, he immediately stopped: "Imperial Grandmother, you wait a minute." Wait for the grandson to finish speaking, if he still feels inappropriate. It's not too late to go to the royal brother again! ”

Jian Ning watched quietly from the side, and did not say a word, at this time, she had no chance to speak.

Long Zening reluctantly held the Empress Dowager steady, helped her sit back in the position she had just placed, and then slowly explained: "Imperial grandmother, the imperial brother does have his reasons for doing this. First, Jian Ning's cooking skills are indeed excellent, which must be very clear in your heart, and you don't need to say more about grandchildren. Second, this time she married Princess Leling of Dongshang Kingdom, and Prince Yan of Dongshang is particularly fond of Jian Ning's cooking skills, if Jian Ning is responsible, he will definitely make Prince Yan satisfied with the banquet. ”

The Empress Dowager also fell into deep thought when she heard Long Zening's words, but she still didn't agree with this approach, and then said: "If you really think that her cooking skills are good, it's a big deal to let her help cook the dishes, why let her be responsible?" ”

"Although the wedding banquet of the imperial grandmother is grand, with more than 100 tables, not every table has to be done by Jian Ning herself, a large part of which she only needs to draw up the menu, and the rest is the matter of the imperial dining room, and there are only a few main tables that she really needs to be responsible for."

Long Zening continued to spare no effort to explain: "As for the menu, many dishes are customized, and there is no need to bother with any effort, besides, although Jian Ning is fully responsible for this matter, but the people in the imperial dining room have to assist from the side, how can there be a mess?" ”

"If the imperial grandmother is not at ease, it is a big deal to send Aunt Bi to the imperial dining room every day to see, if there is anything wrong, immediately point it out."

The Empress Dowager was indeed loosened by Long Zening's words. Jian Ning's cooking skills really made her unforgettable. And Xia Houyan also attaches great importance to her cooking skills

After thinking about it again, the Empress Dowager finally relented and said lightly: "That's it, since you two brothers think it's good, and the holy decree has been issued again, let's do what you say." However, the mourning family has a condition, the daily progress and the dishes at the main table must be seen by the mourning family first, and the mourning family feels that it is okay. ”

When Long Zening heard this, he immediately pulled Jian Ning to kneel down, and said happily: "Grandmother Emperor Xie." ”

Jian Ning was pulled down suddenly, and her knees really hurt a little, but she was still a little surprised in her heart, a person like the Empress Dowager could accept such a ridiculous behavior, how much she loved Long Zeye and Long Zening!

The Empress Dowager glanced at Jian Ning and said lightly: "Such a grand banquet, how important it is to Yuan Chu is that there is no need to say more about the mourning family. The mourning family only said one thing here, if you do a good job of this banquet, the reward is indispensable, but if you don't do it well, and you have a business trip, no matter who pleads for mercy, you can't save you, can you understand? ”

"The people's daughter understands, thank the Empress Dowager for her grace!" Jian Ning immediately kowtowed and thanked her.

She was still thinking about how to get the Empress Dowager to agree to give her a grace, but she didn't expect the Empress Dowager to open her mouth first. At that time, it is best to think of a way to let the Empress Dowager reward her with this grace on the spot, so that in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys of various countries, Long Zeye can't rely on it!

Thinking like this, Jian Ning's heart suddenly ignited a fighting spirit.

After leaving Ningshou Palace, Long Zening wanted to take Jian Ning to the place where he lived, but was rejected by Jian Ning.

Jian Ning is full of what to do this time and how to get it back to the Food Garden.

"Lord Wang, let's take me to the imperial dining room first!" Jian Ning couldn't wait to say to Long Zening.

"Brother Huang has ordered, you can only go to the imperial dining room tomorrow, so now I will take you to the place where you live first, and then let someone lead you to familiarize yourself with the road of the palace, so as not to break in and collide with people when you get there." Long Zening said lightly.

"Tomorrow? I don't mind getting started sooner, what else does he mind? Jian Ning muttered.

"Sometimes, you have to learn to do it in moderation."

Jian Ning glanced at Long Zening, and finally obediently followed to the place where she lived. Indeed, it is unexpected to have such a result today, after all, this is the palace, and you can't do everything casually, so as not to lose your wife and lose your army.

After passing through the Imperial Garden, Long Zening stopped. A little eunuch was already waiting there, and when he saw Long Zening coming, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The slave has seen the prince." ”

Long Zening replied lightly and let the little eunuch get up. Turning his head to Jian Ning, he said: "He is Xiaofuzi, let him follow you in the next few days, you can tell him anything." ”

"The minion Xiaofuzi has seen Miss Jane." Xiao Fuzi immediately smiled and saluted Jian Ning.

Jian Ning was extremely unaccustomed to this feeling, so she hurriedly helped Xiaofuzi up and said to Long Zening: "I don't need someone to serve me, I don't have to arrange this." ”

"Miss Jane, this is the palace, not your house, you have to understand this. And, are you sure you don't get lost in the palace? Although Long Zening had a smile on his face, he had a majesty that could not be refused.

Jian Ning immediately understood that these people were not so much here to serve him, but rather sent by Long Zeye to monitor him! In fact, according to her memory, how could she forget the road she had walked.

"Xiaofuzi, take Miss Jian to Yuqing Xiaozhu."

Xiao Fuzi immediately made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully to Jian Ning: "Girl, please come with the slave." ”

Although Jian Ning was puzzled, she still didn't ask Long Zening after all, and continued to walk forward with Xiao Fuzi. And Long Zening never followed.

"Xiaofuzi, what is Yuqing Xiaozhu?" Jian Ning asked Xiaofuzi as she walked.

"Yuqing Xiaozhu is just south of the imperial dining room, very close to the imperial dining room. It is very convenient for the girl to live in Yuqing Xiaozhu. Xiao Fuzi smiled lightly and explained to Jian Ning.

"Then those cooks in the imperial dining room also live in Yuqing Xiaozhu on weekdays?"

"There are high-grade imperial chefs in the imperial dining room, and they are all men, so naturally they don't live there. As for the ordinary cooks, their status is low, not as good as girls, and naturally they can't live in Yuqing Xiaozhu. ”

"Who lives in Yuqing Xiaozhu now?"

"Yuqing Xiaozhu has never lived in people."

"Who have lived there before?"

"This minion doesn't know."

Jian Ning didn't ask anything more, it was just a place to live, at most it was only a few days, so there was no need to care too much.

I don't know how many corridors I passed, how many paths I walked, Jian Ning finally arrived at Yuqing Xiaozhu.

As soon as she entered the door, Jian Ning felt that she liked this place very much, it was not big, but it was very quiet, and it really lived up to its name.

There is a patch of bamboo planted in the yard, and even though it is winter, the green can still be seen.

Before Jian Ning could finish looking at the scenery of the entire courtyard, she saw a very iconic little girl standing at the door of the main house, looking at her with a smile.

"Slave Qingzhi has seen Miss Jane." (To be continued) R580
