was scolded by his father, Wan Li pursed his lips, calmly went to the dinner table, and threw a date into his mouth:

"Isn't it the fact that you are talking to everyone about the emperor's youth? I have known the secret of how a deposed prince later ascended the throne and inherited the unification! ”

"You ......"

Wan Zong was speechless, and after a pause, he raised his eyebrows and wanted to be angry with his son.

Wan Li looked disdainful, and raised his hands to make a "stop" gesture.

"Father, when my son listened a lot outside, I realized that you and your seniors had only been arguing for a while, and what you were discussing was still off topic......

"Ignorant karma, what do you know—"

was subdued by his own son in public, Wanzong was of course annoyed, and glared at Wanli with a beard, angry.

Wan Li didn't care about him, picked up the empty wine glass, poured himself full of elixir, drank it all, and said:

"My son's eyes and ears in Beijing brought back some news, Dongchang has been casting a net everywhere recently, ostensibly to arrest the real culprit of the palace dummy, but secretly arrested Shen Kun, Sun Yuan and Ding Qiwei."

The guests were in an uproar.

The three of them were imprisoned, and they all thought of Zhong Siyou, who died unexplained in Dongchang Zhao Prison two years ago.

The secret of Emperor Jingxiao's ascension to the throne is inextricably linked to the destruction of Baishuiguan and Zheng's family back then.

Wan Zong stared at him in a deep voice, and the movement of his fingers brushing his hair suddenly stopped.

The clues brought by Wan Li were simply too timely and useful. Suddenly, Wan Zong's attitude towards his son had to change.

Dongchang took people at this time, but it was those people who took it, could it be the commander of Dongchang......

Shangshu Yang Kang left his seat, leaned sideways to the God King, and said in a low voice:

"Guozhang, what Dongchang is holding is a coincidence, we have to guard against it. Thinking that the long-lived master is in a high position, and he believes in Dongchang, he may not know that Leng Qingtang is so misbehaving. According to the opinion of the lower officials, why don't we look for an opportunity to give a wake-up call to the Lord of Long Live? ”

Wan Zong's eyes narrowed, and a pair of sagging eye bags immediately trembled twice.

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and instructed Wan Li:

"Li'er, for my father's mansion there is a good fragrant mahogany, tomorrow you will find a craftsman to carve a peachwood sword. When you enter the palace to offer to the saint, you can take the opportunity to probe the tone of the saint and listen to what the eunuch said in the saint's ear. ”

Wan Li frowned, looking reluctant:

"It's good for you to ask the eldest sister to do this, why do you want me to come into the palace to see the emperor?"

Wan Zong sneered, sank his old face and said:

Niangniang didn't know anything about the past, and rashly dragged her into the water to provoke the emperor to turn his face, wouldn't it be in vain to waste her hard work in the harem for many years.

You go, if the words are inappropriate, the saint will notice it, and because you are the uncle of the country, I will always give you some face. ”

Wan Li shook his head coldly, and said a few "tsks" between his teeth:

"So the boy will plan tomorrow."

——

In the middle of July, the air was sticky and muggy. Occasional thunderstorms, after which the wet moisture on the face still can't bring people a sense of coolness.

In the past few days, the Chuxiu Palace has been particularly lively.

After the daughter's festival, the weather became more and more sultry, and the concubines could not enjoy the flowers in the garden with the sun on their heads, so they came to visit each other with nothing to do.

During the chat, they talked about the ice product "Crisp Mountain" brought by Concubine Xu when she went to her daughter's meeting that day.

Think about the talented people in Chuxiu Palace, at this time, Concubine Xu must be hiding in the cold pavilion of Zhenbing, fanned by Gong'e, and tasted all kinds of novel ice products that others have not tasted.

The more the concubines chatted, the more energetic they became, and finally they couldn't resist the seduction of the gluttonous insects, and on a sultry afternoon, on the pretext of visiting the little prince, they ran to Chuxiu Palace in groups to greet Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu generously served refreshments to entertain the guests, fulfilling the wishes of the concubines and satisfying their addictions.

In this way, Gu Yunxi will be tired.

In the afternoon of two consecutive days, there were concubines who came to Chuxiu Palace as guests, and the number and patterns of handmade ice products in the small kitchen were naturally not a few.

After serving lunch every day, Gu Yunxi was sent to the small kitchen, and he worked with the cooks until sunset.

After several attempts, Gu Yunxi has successfully improved the "Crisp Mountain" and produced many novel shapes.

She mixed purple, green, red and other colors of flower juice into ghee and feta cheese, mixed well, and then put into different shapes of pastry molds to freeze, making a delicately shaped crispy mountain of flowers, birds, fish and insects.

Then, she developed more delicious refreshing drinks, such as "Snow Bubble Kumquat Drink" which has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the throat, "Ginger Honey White Mash Herbal Tea" which is mainly based on ginger and mash grains and is used to warm the stomach and strengthen the spleen, and "Sand Sugar Ice and Snow Cold Balls".

She also came up with the idea of mashing well ice, or accompanied by fruit puree, or pouring plum wine, coconut milk wine, and sugar ice food "wine fruit ice crush".

These dazzling ice products are beautiful and good-looking, so that the concubines are full of praise for the ice products and the producers of the ice products.

Gu Yunxi quickly became famous, but her beauty in front of people laid a hidden danger for her to work in Chuxiu Palace.

Many of the cooks in the small kitchen are half-old, and they especially love to have two sides and three knives, one set in their mouths and one in their hearts.

Gu Yunxi has her own experience, except for Lan Xin, who sincerely helps her from the bottom of her heart and is willing to be commanded by her, the other mothers-in-law are all Liao Chuniang's people.

They were obedient to Gu Yunxi's words on the surface, and when she walked away with her front feet, they immediately put on an angry face and pierced the root of Chef Liao's tongue:

"I said, auntie, you have to be careful. I see that little hoof is quite important to the mother, and it has only been a few days before I come up with the strength of a kitchen master! ”

Chef Li glanced out the door, his mouth furrowed.

Aunt Wang, who was choosing vegetables, immediately came in and agreed, and her wrinkled old face was full of crampedness:

"Yes, yes! Aunt Liao, don't say we haven't reminded you. Didn't you tell Jinzhu in the first half a year that you were going to leave the palace and return to your hometown? Isn't it going to be a new person looking for someone to succeed you? You didn't realize that since last night, our mother's dinner has also asked her to come over and take care of it. ”

Chef Liao shook off the water in her hands, grabbed the ruffled apron around her waist and wiped her ten fingers, and smiled gloomily:

"At that time, my mother-in-law was sick, and my man wanted me to go back and take care of her. Now that my mother-in-law is no longer alive, I have no worries, and I naturally want to make more money in the palace. A girl who is not good-looking, why should she replace me! ”

Aunt Wang still insists on her own opinion, and she is the murderer in the crowd:

"Make plans early and worry about it early, we can all see that she is working very the stove."

Chef Liao looked around, saw that Lan Xin was not beside her, beckoned mysteriously, motioned for everyone to come closer, and said to them in a low voice:

"Don't worry, the little prostitute won't be happy for a while. In less than a day, she will definitely get out of our Chuxiu Palace. ”

——

In the evening, Concubine Xu took a few palace people to Xiaoyexuan to help Yu Zhaoyi copy the scriptures.

Gu Yunxi, who had been busy all day, only entered the ear room to rest, and he heard a noise outside the courtyard, as if there were many people inside.

"Hey, what kind of wind blew Liu Bingbi to our Chuxiu Palace?"

In the outer garden separated by a wall, Yan Gui, the father-in-law in charge, came out of the palace to greet him, and his greeting voice was soft and tactful. If you don't see people and just listen to the voice, you can make people sketch a flattering and sweet face out of thin air.

The other voice was also sharp, but the tone was solemn and cold:

"Father-in-law Yan has always been good? Today, our family is really in a hurry for business, and we have not asked Concubine Xu to say goodbye, but also asked Gonggong Yan to say hello to Niangniang and His Royal Highness the prince on behalf of our family. In addition, there is another matter, please ask Gonggong Yan to bring the palace man Tu Duxue over immediately. ”

Gu Yunxi heard her talking about her outside in the room, and her heart suddenly went up and down.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Yunxi didn't dare to delay, opened the door to look, but saw Yan Gui with a difficult expression.

"The celebrant is looking for you, go quickly."

Who knew that on the night of July 7, there was a burglary in the palace, and the celebrant was offering a reward for clues about suspicious people.

At present, Liu Bingbi actually led people to break into Chuxiu Palace, and it is not a good thing to ask for Tu Duxue by name!

Whether it was Gu Yunxi himself or Yan Gui, his palms were sweating at this moment.

Gu Yunxi knew in his heart that Dongchang was in full swing to arrest the masked man, and now it was time to touch the line and find her head.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. It should come, sooner or later-

Clenched his fists and followed Yan Gui to the outer garden of Chuxiu Palace, where Gu Yunxi and the celebrant Liu Bingbi met.

"Slave and maid Tu Duxue, I have seen Lord Bingbi."

Facing the black-pressed ceremonial guard of honor, Gu Yunxi suddenly lowered his head and bowed in a proper manner.

Celebrant Priest, isn't that ...... The celebrant of the Lord of the Cold Commander?

Suddenly, her heart was inexplicable, and she was excited, embarrassed, and sad...... For example, the sweet, sour and spicy in the five-flavor bottle are mixed and intertwined, and the taste of each is indescribable for a while.

The sudden silence around was abnormal, and a pair of cold and arrogant eyes fell straight above Gu Yunxi's head, and the old eunuch with a white complexion and thin purple lips at the head of the team shook the dust vigorously, pinched his voice and shouted:

"Come on, take it away!"
