At the time of the lantern in the Changxi Palace, a scream made all the servants in the palace stop moving, and they all looked at the dormitory of the Changxi Palace, but such attention was only for a moment, and in the next second, everyone lowered their heads and continued to do the work in their hands, without stopping for a moment, as if the sharp scream just now was an illusion.

In the dormitory of Changxi Palace, Fu Dong stood in front of the phoenix bed with a lamp and candle, looking at Liang Xi, who was awakened from a nap, sitting on the bed and gasping for breath with a worried face, his eyebrows were full of horror, and the clothes behind him were already soaked with sweat. Fudong's heart is very sad, although she doesn't understand what the princess looks like, but since she started serving the princess nine years ago, the princess's nightmares have not been broken, the princess she rarely sleeps, even if she sleeps, she will be awakened by the nightmares that have been interrupted, the princess has been born prematurely insufficient, and because of the nightmares continue to be difficult to sleep, her health is even worse. In the early years, the princess looked at the imperial doctors, but later the princess stopped letting them speak out, and now the emperor's concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Wu thought that the princess's nightmare had been cured, but in fact, this symptom has continued and has not improved.

"Princess." Fu Dong looked at Liang Xi from afar, his eyebrows tightened, and he called softly, the princess who had just woken up from the nightmare was not allowed to be close to others, and she was almost killed by the princess when she didn't know about it, and since then, the princess's nightmare has become a nightmare for all the palace people in Changxi Palace.

Liang Xi sat on the soft couch, sweat had soaked her hair, wet on her forehead, she gasped for breath, until the rapid breathing finally calmed down, she lightly commanded:

"Bathing, changing."

Fu Dong knew that she had completely woken up, and she was overjoyed, so she answered, and hurriedly ordered the little palace maid to prepare.

Liang Xi sat on the bed for a while, and then helped Fu Dong's hands to the ground, at this time her legs were as soft as two noodles, Fu Dong found that she was trembling, trembling very violently, but she didn't dare to say anything, carefully helped Liang Xi to the bath room, turned a screen, and Zhichun and others helped her take off her dress, and when there was only one petticoat left, the four of them bowed down and retreated.

Liang Xi was the only one left in the bath, she took off her petticoat with trembling hands, quickly stepped into the bath, and immersed her snow-white body in hot water.

She closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment, and when she opened them again, her gaze naturally fell on her arm hanging in the water. The water in the pool is clear, and you can clearly see the pair of lotus root-like arms, which are white and flawless, snow-white and delicate, without a single flaw, but in her eyes, there is a very dirty and dirty scar on the skin that is as white as jade, she scrubs it with water, and it can't be washed off, so she begins to scratch it with her fingernails, and scratches hard, and scratches hard, but instead of being scratched off, the scar is getting bigger and bigger, and she is irritable and disgusted, and she grabs harder until her arm is bloody. But as if she didn't know the pain, she clung harder.

It was not the first time that Fu Dong had seen such a scar, she bandaged the princess without saying a word, and then helped the princess put on the palace clothes one by one, Liang Xi did not speak from beginning to end, she sat on the soft couch, staring quietly at a place of distraction, as if the soul was no longer in this world.

"Princess, His Royal Highness the Martial King has come down." Zhichun walked in quickly and reported softly.

Liang Xi, who was in a trance, suddenly came back to her senses, put on the last outer robe, pulled up the placket, turned her head, and looked at herself in the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror, after a while, she patted her apple-like face, and her innocent smile appeared again, she walked out of the dormitory quickly, ran into the side hall, and sure enough, she saw Liang Ao sitting on a chair in front of the table, holding a book she often reads.

"Second brother!" She called sweetly.

Liang Ao saw that she was in good spirits, laughed, and stretched out his hand to her.

Liang Xi ran over and stood in front of him.

Liang Ao put his hand on her shoulder, looked at her face without a trace, and saw that she was indeed in good spirits, so he was relieved and said with a smile:

"The second brother is here to accompany you for dinner. Are you off your mother again? ”

"The concubine has complained to you?" Liang Xi pursed a pair of red lips, and said disapprerovitically, "The mother concubine is too worried, the palace is too stuffy, I just go out to play, my father and the emperor have already turned a blind eye, and the mother concubine is chattering all day long." ”

"Don't talk about the mother concubine like that!" Liang Ao patted her on the head, of course, the strength was not heavy, "The concubine is worried that you will be in danger." ”

"What's the danger, six Ming guards and twenty secret guards follow, and even the four maids are good at martial arts, like this, I can still be caught by the bad guys, and I'm that kind of life."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liang Ao's face sank, and because of her half-joking words, he suddenly became very angry and scolded harshly.

Liang Xi disagreed, and didn't care about his anger.

Liang Ao was a little embarrassed after scolding her, her expression was sneering, she paused, stroked her hair braid with a slight apology, and smiled gently at her:

"Second brother bought your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs in Dingxinlou, didn't you say that you don't like to eat sweet and sour pork ribs in the palace, and recently you have become obsessed with Dingxinlou's dishes?"

"I just like the feeling of being constantly changing." Liang Xi winked playfully and smiled.

Liang Ao smiled and pinched the tip of her nose.

The two brothers and sisters were having dinner in the side hall, Liang Xi secretly looked at Liang Ao with his eyes while eating, and after a while, said:

"Second brother, tomorrow is the Liangdu final of the King of Chef Competition, will you go?"

"Go."

"Take me along?" Liang Xi asked with sparkling eyes.

"Okay."

"Say yes so quickly!"

"I'm just here to tell you that if you don't have anything to do tomorrow, I'll take you to see the King of Chefs." Liang Ao said with a smile.

"Second brother, why did you suddenly become so good?" Liang Xi asked suspiciously.

"Is the second brother bad?" Liang Ao asked rhetorically.

"Good! The second brother is the best! Liang Xi said with a grin, tilting her head and rubbing her brother's shoulder.

……

As a national-level competition, the venue of the Liangdu finals is not in Huixianglou, this time the venue of the competition is still in the City Gate Square, and the ring has been set down, in front of the West Gate of Liangdu City.

Because it is the Liangdu finals, the scale of the competition is much larger than that of the regional competition, and the facilities and pomp are much more gorgeous than the regional competition.

Whether it is in Liangdu or in the place, there are very many people watching the excitement, which shows that it is indeed a peaceful and prosperous era of national peace and security.

Because it is Liangdu, dignitaries and nobles gathered, and a stone fell from the sky and hit ten people, and nine of them were dignitaries, so the VIP seats lined up. The female dependents of those official eunuchs sent people to the competition to make an appointment for a place from a long time ago, and the seats did not need to be prepared by the organizer, they had drawn up the site, built a pergola, prepared the fence, and a large number of female dependents drank tea under the competition platform on a hot day covered by a veil, just waiting for the start of the King Chef Competition, which shows that no matter how rich they are, there is usually no fun entertainment.

The reason why the competition committee chose to rest the day is so that His Majesty the Emperor can come and watch the first one, which shows that the emperor usually has no entertainment, and a king of chef competition is enough for him to be lively for half a day.

The emperor came and the princes naturally came, and the emperor came and the ministers naturally came, so the large square in front of the west gate of the city was a large area of black pressure, as if it was welcoming foreign missions.

Because the emperor was going to attend the opening ceremony, the time of the opening ceremony was chosen to be at five o'clock in the morning, that is, at five o'clock in the morning, all the staff had to arrive to prepare for the start of the game. Contestants who do not arrive on time are considered to have abstained according to the regulations, so Su Miao lived in Huixiang Building last night, and was woken up by the eldest sister just after a while, and after a period of tossing, she came over in the dark to attend the opening ceremony.

She hadn't gotten up so early for a long time, and rushed to the city gate in pitch black, the city gate had been opened, and in the foggy patch, the common people were huddled together in a mess outside the dividing line, those with heads and faces sat on the fixed seats sold at the game, the more noble ones all built their own sheds, and those who didn't like crowds and wanted to watch the games were all booked in the teahouse a little farther away and watched with a lookout goggle.

The scene was very lively, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly high, which made Su Miao very suspicious that they hadn't had fun for many years.

As soon as Su Miaofu appeared, everyone's eyes looked at her, and she was so sleepy that she immediately woke up. Although she has seen the world, she still feels hairy when she is stared at by so many bright eyes, and she feels like a boxer being forced onto the stage by a group of hungry wolf-like audiences.

Su Miao naturally met the opponent of this game, Dongpingmen, who wore a maroon soft satin robe today, his hair was wrapped in a black hairscarf, his eyebrows were sparse, his appearance was delicate, and he was followed by two fat and one thin three assistants.

Su Miao stared at him with her hands behind her back for a long time, and moved her eyebrows, although it was very rude, she was seriously surprised:

"Why didn't you throw up today?"

Dongping had a straight face, looked at her indifferently for a while, didn't speak, twisted his head, and left.

He actually ignored her, Su Miao glared at a pair of eyes, turned her head, and said to the aftertaste:

"This man is so rude!"

Aftertaste glanced at her, and also ignored her.

Su Miao was speechless.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had set the time for the start of the conference, finally arrived late at the last minute and brought a large group of princes and courtiers.

After Su Miao followed the others to kneel on the ground and shout long live, Liang Shuo sat on the high dragon chair at the front of the opposite stage, and the ministers and princes sat on both sides, and some waiters took a big golden mallet and struck it heavily on the big golden gong hanging next to the stage, announcing the start of the game loudly.

Su Miao and Dongpingmen came to the stage from both sides of the stage, leading the three assistants to stand on both sides of the stage.

A man in the fancy uniform of the Shang Diet Supervisor stepped out from behind the large red screen behind him, smiling and wearing a long black beard, and his expression when he smiled looked like a cross talker.

Su Miao originally thought he was very familiar, but because the uniform of the Shang Shan Supervisor was too bells and whistles, she didn't recognize it for a while, until the man stood still beside her, she tilted her head and looked at him carefully for a while, before she whispered in surprise:

"Master Jiang? Why are you again? ”

"Why can't it be me?" Master Jiang glanced at her with his eyelids, and he was very dissatisfied with her fuss.

Su Miao was choked by his rhetorical question, and flattened her lips in a sneer, she just expressed her surprise, this old man is so impersonal, he didn't feel surprised at all when he met again after a long time, but was so fierce, too much!

"Who do you call 'old man', do I look that old?" Master Jiang whispered with extreme dissatisfaction.

Su Miao puffed out her mouth, tilted her head and whispered to him: "Master Jiang, we haven't seen each other for so long, you should at least be happy to see me again!" ”

Master Jiang snorted from his nose to show that he was very dissatisfied with the reunion of the two, but Su Miao felt that he was completely learning from her by humming through his nose.

This one Su Miao and Master Jiang whispered, the other Dongpingmen and the three assistants looked at them intently, and the fat assistant behind him stepped forward and whispered to Dongpingmen:

"Chef, it seems that the rumors are true, that Miss Su is not small, and the new one is from the Shang Diet Supervisor, looking at him and Miss Su, he should be very familiar with him, this is not very beneficial to our side."

Dongpingmen glanced at Su Miao and Master Jiang, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, was finally dissatisfied with Su Miao and Lord Jiang whispering and not talking about business, put his fist to his mouth and coughed vigorously twice, Lord Jiang and Su Miao parted in a sneer, Lord Jiang stroked his beard, secretly glanced at Su Miao, and blamed her for distracting him. Su Miao flattened her mouth, clasped her hands in front of her, and stood straight.

Liang Shuo glanced at Su Miao, turned his head and whispered to the prince Liang Yi beside him:

"Isn't that girl the girl that Ah Wei brought back?"

Liang Yi smiled and replied in a low voice:

"I heard that Miss Su won the first game when she drew lots yesterday."

Liang Shuo nodded.

On the stage, Master Jiang cleared his throat and began to announce the rules of the game loudly:

"Today is the first game of the Liangdu finals of the King of Chef competition, and I would like to explain the rules of the competition first. First of all, let's introduce the participants in this round of the competition, Su Miao from Qin'an Province and Dongpingmen from Fuquan Province. This round of the competition is divided into three rounds, each game has a theme, please set the theme of your own dishes, around this theme according to their own understanding to make the best dishes that satisfy all the judges. Now I hereby announce that the first game of the Liangdu Finals of the King of Chefs Competition has officially begun! ”

The waiter struck the big golden gong again with a big golden mallet, making a loud "dang" sound! (To be continued.) )
