Mr. Fu went to investigate the snake case, but there were no clues, and when he finally found out the clues and suspected Huaququ, a kitchen worker in the kitchen ran out to take the case, saying that he wanted to play tricks on Granny Liu, who was cooking, but he didn't expect to hurt Hua Qing, and asked the prince to send it.

Mr. Fu had no choice but to report the matter back to King Zhao, although King Zhao was suspicious, but it was not good to investigate again, so he punished the kitchen worker with eighty boards and drove him out of the palace, and the matter was over.

Prime Minister Hua Cheng, who was sitting at home, had been in a trance for the past few days, but now that he closed his eyes, what appeared in his mind was Zhen Zhen's resolute appearance back then, which coincided with the face of Huaqing in the palace that day, which made him sad.

He couldn't hold the pen he was practicing calligraphy, and after putting it down, he turned back to the room, but he heard his second daughter Hua Ququ and Yang talking outside the door.

"Mother, King Zhao seems to be particularly interested in that scholar, that day Jin Ye put the snake into the casserole, expected that the scholar would go in, originally just wanted to scare and scare the scholar, but never thought that the scholar was bitten by the snake. The prince was angry and wanted to investigate thoroughly, so I had to spend two silver taels to find someone to top the bag. ”

"In the future, don't come forward for this kind of thing, let Jin Ye do it."

"My daughter understands."

After hearing this, Prime Minister Hua Cheng outside the door trembled with anger. He pushed open the door, and the Yang family and Hua Ququ in the room were startled when they saw him come in.

Hua Ququ just wanted to shout "Dad", but Prime Minister Hua slapped her, she was slapped in vain, and tears fell.

"Dad, why did you hit me?"

"Don't call me Dad, you can do such a degrading thing. I don't have a daughter like you. ”

Yang heard it and stopped doing it.

"Hua Yi, are you crazy? What did Ququ provoke you? How? If you don't recognize our mother, it's hard to think that Zhen Zhen is still thinking about that slut, she and her daughter are dead. Hahahaha...."

Hua Yi was furious when he saw Yang's crazy appearance, he stretched out his hand to hit Yang, but Yang also greeted him with his face and said:

"What, you want to hit me? You beat me, you beat me, and they won't come back. Hmph....."

He felt cold, he didn't want to stay in Washington for a moment, he was worried about Hua Qing at this time, so he left everything and went to Zhaowang's mansion.

Because he is the prince of King Zhao, every time he enters and leaves the palace, he does not need to report, and he comes and goes freely.

"Prime Minister, are you here? I'll tell the prince of our family. ”

Prime Minister Hua waved his hand and said:

"Don't bother, I'm just going to walk around."

The servant promised to leave.

Prime Minister Hua Cheng arrived at the Chengjian Palace, only to see the open window of the west hall, and a woman sitting in the window, she was writing at the desk. Occasionally, she coughed, and the maid beside her poured her tea, and after she finished drinking, she continued to write.

Prime Minister Hua's hand was clenched, he slowly walked to Hua Qing's door, and when he wanted to knock on the door to enter, he was stopped.

"I don't know if the Taifu is coming, forgive Huaijin for being rude."

Prime Minister Hua turned his head and saw Mo Huaijin in a jade-colored brocade robe, standing in front of him, so he retracted his thoughts and said:

"The prince is serious, I am bored in Washington, I think I haven't been in the palace for a long time, so I came to the palace to visit the garden, if it is rude, it should be the sin of the old man, and before the master, I came in to enjoy the autumn light of the garden."

Mo Huaijin smiled slightly, resolved the embarrassment, and said:

"Since it is a garden visit, the students have nothing to do today, and they can accompany the Taifu for a walk."

The prime minister nodded slightly. After the two went out, Hua Qing asked Xiang Zi Kite:

"Someone seems to be talking outside the door, you go and see."

The purple kite walked to the front door, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he had to come back and say:

"There was no one outside the door, maybe the sound of the wind blowing and falling leaves."

Hua Qing was silent.

On the day of the women's moral exam, Mo Huaijin got up early.

"Pothos, purple kite, has your young lady woken up?"

Mo Huaijin saw that the door of the side hall was open, and the green pothos and purple kites were sprinkling water on the flowers outside, and the green pothos was still complaining about the prince in her heart, so she didn't answer. The purple kite pointed to the house and said:

"Wake up, Miss is in the house."

Mo Huaijin walked into the side hall and saw Hua Qing changing into a *** dress today, which was very flattering to her complexion, so it gave people a feeling of brightness.

"Today's female virtue exam, you will enter the palace with me, right?"

Hua Qing nodded.

Mo Huaijin was very happy in his heart, the two of them had just stepped out of the side hall, Hua Ququ also went out, and after seeing the two of them, he said:

"Lord Wang, Miss Hua, are you preparing to enter the palace?"

Mo Huaijin nodded. Hua Ququ said with a smile:

"It just so happens that I want to enter the palace together, and I ask the prince to take me."

Hua Qing didn't speak, Mo Huaijin nodded and said:

"Okay, let's go together!"

Hua Qu bent over and said:

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Along the way, Hua Qing was silent. Hua Ququ said on the side:

"Today's women's moral exam, I heard my mother say that the prince is also one of the examiners?"

"Well, the queen invited, don't dare not disobey."

Mo Huaijin replied politely. Hua Ququ smiled again and said:

"I didn't expect Ququ to be in the same car with the examiner today, it's a great honor. I don't know what kind of taste do you like? Ququ recently learned cooking skills with Bai Yunjian, and Master Bai said that the prince loves a piece of snow soup, I don't know if it's true or not? ”

Mo Huaijin replied:

"Bai Yunjian is a famous chef in the Central Plains, even if the emperor wants to hire him as an imperial chef, he can't invite him, how are you willing to let him accept you as an apprentice?"

"Oh, my uncle Yang Qiji is close friends with him, and my uncle came forward to invite him, so he sold my uncle's face and promised to accept me as an apprentice."

"I see."

Mo Huaijin coughed lightly twice, but Hua Qing ignored it. She was used to Hua Ququ's quiet show-off, and she was really not interested in participating in the conversation between them.

After entering the palace, I met with the emperor and queen, and when the princess and the daughters of the various provinces arrived, the queen announced that the exam topic of the palace examination was "autumn". That is, today's cooking dishes, regardless of the selection of materials or shape, the taste must reflect the characteristics of "autumn".

This is a generalized question, which coincides with autumn and the ingredients are suitable. So for the referencer, this question couldn't be simpler.

However, this question seems simple and not simple, because it is a bit difficult to integrate the taste of autumn into the dish and stand out from the crowd.

The exams were held in the arena of the Imperial Palace, and there was a partition between each candidate, but each candidate had an invigilator, who was the imperial chef from the Imperial Dining Room. Before the exam, the queen also conducted an identity investigation on the imperial kitchens of these imperial dining rooms, and there was no need to avoid suspicion of kinship. So, the exam is absolutely fair.

As for the selection of food, it is not directly placed in the partition room of the candidates, but the candidates themselves think of the dishes, inform the invigilator, and then the invigilator instructs the imperial dining room to send the ingredients into the examination room. However, candidates should pay attention to the fact that the ingredients can only be delivered once, so when reporting the name of the dish, it is better to report more than less, and the exam time is two hours.

Hua Qing stood in the partition room, looking at a clay pot in front of her, remembering the scene of opening the lid in the kitchen that day and seeing a snake, and she didn't have the courage to open the pot at this time. The proctor asks:

"Miss, you can ask the examiner what ingredients you need, and the imperial dining room will send the ingredients according to the needs of the young lady."

"Okay. Thank you. ”

When Hua Qing didn't know what to do, suddenly two light coughs came from behind.
