Ai Qiaoqiao heard that Aunt Ji was coming, so she hurriedly greeted her out.

When she first returned to Xiaofang Village, Aunt Ji took good care of her and the Lan family, so to speak, without Aunt Ji, she would not be where she is today.

When she was bullied by the stupid son of the Wang family in the village, it was thanks to Aunt Ji's adoption.

"Qiaoqiao, do you want to participate in the world's freshest cooking competition?" Aunt Ji saw her and asked.

Ai Qiaoqiao was stunned, she didn't understand when Aunt Ji was so concerned about this matter.

"No, I don't want to go." Ai Qiaoqiao said, and told her about going to the emperor's palace and cooking for the emperor and queen before.

"You saw the emperor?" Aunt Ji's expression was a little grim.

"yes."

"Your Majesty...... How's it going......" Aunt Ji said in a leisurely tone.

These words made Ai Qiaoqiao even more confused.

This is the first time she has seen the emperor, what is going on?

She was completely confused by Aunt Ji.

Aunt Ji quickly came back to her senses, "It's nothing, it's better if you don't participate in the cooking competition, anyway, your business here in Jinghonglou is good, and there is a night god doctor to take care of it, even if you don't take this name, you can live well." ”

Although Ai Qiaoqiao was confused, he still responded with a smile.

No matter what, Aunt Ji is for her good, and she still knows this.

She invited Aunt Ji into the house to sit, if it was the past, Aunt Ji would definitely not stay, but this time she really followed Ai Qiaoqiao into the house, and the two sat down and gossiped.

After a while, Ai Qiaoqiao found out the clue, and Aunt Ji asked all she about when she went to see the emperor that day.

After thinking about it again, it was rare for a person like Aunt Ji to have a topic of interest, so no matter what the other party asked her, she tried her best to answer.

The two chatted for an hour, and Ai Qiaoqiao's voice was about to smoke, so Aunt Ji said goodbye.

Three days later, the world's freshest cooking competition officially began.

In the streets and alleys of Huai'an City, people rushed to tell each other.

In this cooking competition, the emperor and the queen actually had to preside over it in person.

After hearing the news, I don't know how many restaurant owners and shopkeepers couldn't sleep excitedly.

If the dishes they cook can get the nod of the emperor, even if they don't win the gold medal in the first place, it will be a glorious thing.

On the day of the cooking competition, Ai Qiaoqiao also dragged the night away to watch the excitement.

Originally, Ye Lidi had no interest in this kind of thing.

But he knew that Ai Qiaoqiao was going to see it, and he didn't want her to go alone, even if he sent someone from Yicaotang to stare at him, he wouldn't feel at ease.

On the first day of the cooking competition, more than half of the contestants were eliminated, and at the end of the second day, there were only four people left.

"Tomorrow is the last day, and I don't know who will win." Watching the lively crowd was full of discussions.

"Why don't you see the people from Jinghonglou?" Someone asked puzzled.

"Jinghonglou's proprietor, Mrs. Night, is a superb cook, if she comes, these people will definitely not be opponents."

"Not necessar......ily," someone was still skeptical, "Mrs. Night is too young, she may have stage fright on this occasion, and she can't cook good dishes if she doesn't play well." ”

"You know what!" I don't know who laughed, "You really were the cowardly lady of the night, you forgot that she was still trapped outside the city during the rebellion, and finally escaped safe and sound." ”

"I heard that the emperor summoned her a few days ago......"

"No, isn't it that this cooking competition has already been decided?"

"It's hard to say...... If the emperor is really optimistic, this competition may be just a trick. ”

Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard people's discussions.

Can the emperor condemn her? Even she didn't believe it, they were really uncomfortable.

Ye Lixian also heard these discussions, but there was still no emotional fluctuation on his face.

"Will you come back tomorrow?" He asked her in a low voice.

"Of course it's coming, tomorrow is the last one." She didn't want to miss out on the best competition.

Ye Liyan said casually: "What's so beautiful, the dishes they cook are not as delicious as yours." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao reached out to cover his mouth with a "whoosh", and half-jokingly said, "Brother Night, if you say this kind of thing here, you are not afraid of being beaten." ”

Ye Liyan looked serious.

He really thinks so.

He didn't have to taste those dishes, he didn't feel like he had an appetite just by looking at them.

How can the dishes made by his lady be delicious, and even looking at the back of her cooking is pleasing to the eye.

The dignified night doctor is completely unaware of his own short-term mentality: his own things, no matter what, are good!

On the last day of the cooking competition, when Ai Qiaoqiao and others came to the competition site, they were also taken aback by the momentum of the crowd here.

There were so many people who came to watch the excitement.

Huai'an City Mansion Yin was in full array, and there were officers and soldiers every two steps, and the innermost layer was guarded by the imperial guards beside the emperor.

Under the golden awning, both chairs were empty, and it was clear that the emperor had not yet come.

The weather was hot, and the people were sweating.

Ye Liyan got out of the carriage, looked around, and frowned slightly.

He didn't like this kind of occasion very much, but he couldn't leave, so he could only stay by Qiaoqiao's side.

Ai Qiaoqiao stretched her neck behind the crowd, they came late and did not occupy a good position.

At this moment, a guard came up to them and said, "May I ask if you two are the Night Doctor and the Night Lady?" ”

Nightfall looked sideways at the man, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Lord Xiao ordered to come down and invite the Night Doctor and Mrs. Night to sit in front, and Prince Xiao has reserved a seat for the two of you."

Ai Qiaoqiao was overjoyed.

Ye Liyan glanced at the chaotic crowd and did not excuse himself.

The two followed the guards through the crowd, and the officers and soldiers dodged to the sides, and they came to the front row.

Xiao Wang Ye and Tong Tong were waiting there.

Seeing Ai Qiaoqiao, Tong Tong raised his little hand excitedly and wanted to pounce directly.

But the maid who was waiting beside her lowered her head and didn't know what to say to her, so Tong Tong had to stand honestly in place, bend her knees to Ai Qiaoqiao, and make a blessing.

Ai Qiaoqiao looked a little sad.

Everyone in the world is familiar with the scenery of a wealthy family, but she only sees the helplessness in the eyes of the child.

When Tong Tong followed her, she was completely like an ordinary child, but now she has to pretend to be a little adult and play the role she should bear.

Seeing the change in the expression on Ai Qiaoqiao's face, Prince Xiao also realized something, and turned around and sent the maid away.

Tong Tong came over with the courage to come over and hugged Ai Qiaoqiao at once.

"Sister...... Can you move in with me? Tong Tong asked in a low voice.

Ai Qiaoqiao was helpless, "Your father is the prince, you can't live in the mansion casually, and you will have to go back to the imperial capital in the future." ”

"Can I stay?" Tong Tong's eyes flashed wide, full of anticipation.

Ai Qiaoqiao's heart was soft, but she could only say some comforting words.

Xiao Wang Ye stood next to him, and the conversation between them was really heard, and his face was a little ashamed.

In the past, he felt that his daughter was in line with the identity of the daughter of the palace, but since she lived with Ai Qiaoqiao for a period of time, she seemed to have forgotten all the previous rules.

She became more childish, and when she saw him, she either clamored for him to hug or coquettish.

Was he really wrong before?

At that moment, a shrill voice interrupted his thoughts.

"The emperor has arrived! The queen has arrived! ”
