The chief eunuch said to the emperor, "Why don't you let them make a dessert by themselves?" ”

The Emperor pondered and remained silent.

The queen looked very happy, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks this is a good idea." ”

The emperor looked at the five people standing in front of him: "Do you want them to make the same dessert or ......?"

The chief eunuch smiled, "The old slave has an idea. ”

"Tell me."

The chief eunuch: "It's better to write the names of a few more desserts and let them draw lots." ”

The Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, "Okay." ”

The chief eunuch immediately asked people to send pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and sent people to write the names of more than a dozen desserts, and then showed them to the emperor and empress.

After the emperor nodded, the chief eunuch put the notes into a teacup.

"You guys come here." He said arrogantly to Ai Qiaoqiao and the others, "One person takes out one." ”

The other four people all reached out and took out a note from the cup, but Ai Qiaoqiao didn't reach out immediately.

"I didn't have the utensils and ingredients ready." Ai Qiaoqiao said seriously.

Without the kitchenware and fresh ingredients at hand, even Daluo Immortal has no way to make desserts out of thin air.

The emperor was just about to speak, but the chief eunuch smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Night, we have kitchen utensils and ingredients here...... For the sake of fairness, we have prepared the ingredients for each of you, even the fruits. ”

Ai Qiaoqiao thought about it, so he reached out and took a note from the cup.

Since everyone's ingredients are the same, there's no problem.

She wasn't used to it, and neither would these four people.

When she got the note in her hand, she opened it and looked at it, stunned.

The note reads Cherry Roll.

Cherry......

Somehow, looking at the name of this fruit, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

What's going on?

Just as she hesitated, the chief eunuch had already had what she needed delivered to her.

The fresh cherries are all tributed from the palace, all of them are big and red, and there are kitchen utensils at hand.

The other four had already started to make desserts, but she stood there thinking.

She hadn't made cherry rolls, but her father's recipe described how they were made.

Father's recipe? That's right!

She suddenly remembered the missing page from the recipe she had found...... This is exactly how cherry desserts are made.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

She stood there hesitantly, and the people around her couldn't help but talk.

"Why didn't the Night Lady do it?"

"Could it be that she only cooks vegetables, not desserts?"

"It's hard to say......"

"Hahaha...... Lady Night is afraid that she will lose face today. ”

Prince Xiao sat under the awning and looked at the night.

Ye Liyan shook the paper fan lightly in his hand, as if he didn't hear the discussion around him at all.

"Hey, Lady Night is starting to make dim sum." I don't know who in the crowd said anything.

Everyone turned their eyes to the venue.

Ai Qiaoqiao lowered her head and began to make desserts in an orderly manner.

Looking at her skillful movements, people quickly dispelled their previous speculations.

There wasn't a lot of time to make desserts on site, so she changed her plan to make cherry sauce first, mashing the cherries and adding sugar directly to make a fresh sauce.

The emperor and the empress waited under the awning for another half an hour, and Ai Qiaoqiao and others served the prepared dessert.

The chief eunuch asked people to bring new tea again.

The emperor took a sip of water, and then looked at the five desserts in front of him with a careful view.

A small bean and lotus seed cake, a cup of grapes, a plate of crispy apples, a plate of jujube soft cake, and a plate of Ai Qiaoqiao's cherry rolls.

The queen was the first to taste Ai Qiaoqiao's dessert.

The fresh cherry jam is sweet and sour, and the fluffy pastry underneath gives it a great taste.

The queen smiled at Ai Qiaoqiao after taking a bite.

Ai Qiaoqiao was also very happy when she saw the queen smiling.

She really doesn't care much if she can win the first place, as long as the things she makes are liked by people, that's enough.

The emperor tasted the dessert of the other four first.

"The azuki bean and lotus seed cake is too sweet." The Emperor frowned, "The grape cup is too sour. ”

The queen tasted the crispy apple, "This is also a good craft, but it is much worse than what is made in the palace, and it has no characteristics." ”

On the last plate of small jujube soft cake, the emperor only took a bite and spit it out, "The jujube pit didn't go?" ”

The person who made this dessert fell to his knees in fright.

"Back to ...... When I went back to the emperor, I went...... Can...... There may be a leak. ”

The emperor didn't say anything, pushed the plate of dessert aside, and didn't let the queen taste it, and finally he took the cherry roll made by Ai Qiaoqiao.

The chief eunuch handed over the tea with his own hands, "Your Majesty, you clear your mouth first." ”

The emperor took a few sips of tea and then put the cherry rolls in his mouth.

"That's good." The Emperor's brow furrowed.

"Delicious, right? The concubines also liked this. The empress looked at the emperor with a smile, "It's not too sweet, it's a little sour." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao said, "If you want to eat something cold, you can also put it in the ice jian, it will be more refreshing at that time." ”

The queen nodded with great satisfaction, "This method is good, it is much more refreshing than the cherry jam made in the palace." ”

The Emperor ate the cherry roll and stood up.

Everyone knew that the emperor was about to announce the final result, and they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

As soon as the emperor stood up, his body suddenly shook, and then he stopped moving.

The crowd was puzzled.

What's the matter, why didn't the emperor speak?

Ai Qiaoqiao stood very close to the emperor, so she could clearly see the emperor's face.

The emperor held the table with one hand, his mouth half open, and his breath was short.

The queen also noticed something strange at this time, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

The Emperor stood there without moving, his cheeks twitching slightly.

He tried to speak, but the tip of his tongue was numb, he couldn't speak, and he felt it was hard to breathe.

Gradually, the emperor's face showed an abnormally bright red, and he suddenly fell backwards and fell to the chair.

"Your Majesty!" The queen screamed and pounced.

The scene was in chaos.

"Escort! Escort! "Huai'an City Mansion Yin's legs are weak.

If something happens to the Emperor here, he doesn't want to think about it.

Guards rushed up to protect the Emperor in the middle.

The chief eunuch hurriedly ran up and called out in the emperor's ear, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Imperial Doctor, please come quickly!" ”

Lord Xiao also stood up at this time.

The scene was chaotic, and even if he was worried about the emperor, he couldn't come forward at this time.

"What kind of doctor please, isn't the night god doctor here!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

The queen suddenly came to her senses, "Yes, yes, yes, the night doctor is here, please!" ”

"Queen, I'm afraid you can't ask for a night doctor." The chief eunuch said with grief on his face.

"Why?" The queen was puzzled.

"The emperor is afraid that it was because he ate the cherry roll just now...... It's just like this, the emperor is like this, it seems that he has been poisoned! ”

That cherry roll was made by the Night Lady, how could they ask the Night Doctor to come and see the Emperor.
