Sun Ying felt a little surprised, Yunyan agreed to her invitation so readily, it was really a little unexpected to her, it was hard to guarantee that Yunyan didn't want to use her as a cover, in fact, there was something else to do.

It's okay, she'll see what this girl wants to do.

On the day of the banquet, Yunyan was freshened up and prepared early in the morning, and the eldest princess's mansion handed over the news the day before, saying that Sun Ying would come to pick up Yunyan in person, and then go to the palace to meet him together.

Yunyan knew that Sun Qi lived in the eldest princess's mansion, and he had never seen this princess before, but when he heard that Her Royal Highness the princess was gentle and polite, generous, and simple and kind, he felt that he should be extremely easy to get along with.

I just didn't expect it to be like this when we first met.

Yunyan had just freshened up and dressed better, and someone came from outside to say that the eldest princess had arrived, so Yunyan hurriedly got up and went out.

She was going to enter the palace today, so she deliberately wore palace clothes, but in order to make it easier for her to go to the imperial dining room to do things, she brought another set of casual clothes.

Yunyan's palace dress is plain, the pale cyan satin is cut by the most delicate hand, the stitches are extremely fine, and there are exquisite embroideries on it, although it is low-key, but it is also very exquisite.

With Hao Xue's simple combed hair bun for her, it can be said to be very beautiful.

As soon as Yun Yan walked to the flower hall, she saw Sun Ying and a woman in a pink palace dress beside her sitting and drinking tea, and Yun Yan stepped forward and saluted: "See Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, see Princess Fangrong." ”

Sun Ying got up and helped him out: "You don't have to be so polite. ”

"Today is a happy event, but you are dressed so plainly?" Sun Qi glanced at Yunyan, only to feel very relieved in his heart, he had heard before, the emperor seemed to be going to give this woman to Zhao Mingsheng, she had been unhappy for a long time in the Huguo Temple because of the news, but now that she is back, Zhao Mingsheng has not married Yunyan yet, so everything still has a chance.

Yunyan was stunned, was there something wrong with his dress, although this color was a little plain, but it was not pure white or anything like that.

"Does Princess Fangrong think there's something wrong with Yunyan?" Yunyan asked, always feeling that this princess Fangrong seemed to be hostile to her from the first time she saw her.

"It's nothing if it's inappropriate, it's just that it's also the princess's reception, the lord of Yunyan is dressed so plainly, if someone looks at it, they think you're unhappy."

This reason is really far-fetched, Yunyan glanced at Sun Qi, and only chuckled in a low voice: "The princess has said it, she is a person with a heart, if you want to deliberately misinterpret Yunyan's respect for the princess, Yunyan has no choice, as long as the princess knows, Yunyan doesn't mean that." Although Yunyan thinks that it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy, this Princess Fangrong has such an attitude when she comes up, which really makes Yunyan feel dissatisfied.

Sun Qi wanted to say something, but Sun Ying directly raised his hand to stop it: "Don't chat, if you delay any longer, the palace banquet will start, let's go." ”

Sun Ying said so, and the two juniors naturally nodded yes.

Along the way, Sun Ying's aunt and nephew took a carriage, while Yunyan chose to take the carriage in his county lord's mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, when Yunyan got off the car, the aunt and nephew had already gotten out of the car, supported by the palace maid beside them, as if they were waiting for Yunyan, Yunyan slowly got out of the carriage: "Let the two of you wait for a long time." ”

"Why is the carriage in the county lord's mansion so slow? It might as well be as fast as the carriage I gave to my servants. Sun Qi's voice was soft and his tone was very gentle, but it sounded really uncomfortable.

"Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't know that Yunyan is not suitable for the carriage, so you always have to let the coachman slow down, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable to be dizzy." Yunyan tried her best to be patient, but the eyes that looked at Sun Qi no longer had the kindness they had before.

Sun Ying naturally felt the spark between the two juniors, but she didn't think much about it, she just thought that she had said in front of Sun Qi that she didn't look down on Yunyan, which made Sun Qi feel that the current Yunyan was still not worthy of Zhao Mingsheng, and only thought that Sun Qi was fighting for herself.

Therefore, Sun Ying's heart is even more sympathetic to Sun Qi.

"Alright, let's go in first." Sun Ying saw that these two juniors were probably going to quarrel if they continued to develop, so he said something out loud.

Then Yunyan and Sun Qi glanced at each other, picked up their shelves and followed Sun Ying and slowly walked towards the palace.

Li Zimo had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, so as soon as Yunyan entered, he saw Li Zimo walking briskly in the uniform of an imperial chef, and he raised his hand and saluted the three women: "I have seen the eldest princess, Princess Fangrong, and the lord of Yunyan." ”

Seeing Li Zimo coming, Aunt Sun Ying and her nephew felt a little strange: "What are you doing here?" "Sun Ying naturally knows Li Zimo, the leader of the imperial dining room, how many imperial kitchens the emperor removed because of the extremely loose taste, he has nothing to do.

Li Zimo raised his hand and saluted again: "Zimo is waiting for the county lord of Yunyan here, the county lord of Yunyan promised Zimo that he would do Zimo a favor at today's banquet, so Zimo is waiting here." ”

"Help?" The corners of Sun Qi's mouth raised slightly: "Is it possible that you still want the county lord of Yunyan to help you cook?" Saying that, she seemed to think of something: "I heard before that this Yunyan County Lord was born as an imperial chef before, and he also cooked for the emperor for a period of time, is it really as rumored?" ”

Yunyan looked at Sun Qi covering her mouth, knowing that she wanted to humiliate herself, but she didn't think there was anything funny about being an imperial chef: "The people take food as the sky, no matter who it is, three meals a day are always inevitable, I think it's very honorable to cook for the emperor." ”

In the final analysis, Sun Ying and the others grew up in fine clothes and jade food, and everything is done by the subordinates, and the subordinates are all slaves in their eyes, so Sun Qi subconsciously feels that cooking is a very low-level thing, but now that Yunyan says this, it seems that she is hypocritical.

Sun Qi was about to say something to refute, when he saw Li Zimo raise his hand: "It's almost time, please come with Zimo the lord of Yunyan." ”

Yun Yan nodded and saluted to Sun Ying's aunt and nephew: "Two princesses, Yun Yan lost her company first. “

Sun Ying didn't care, nodded and said, "You go, just come back early, and you will have to toast the emperor at the banquet later." ”

"Yes." Yunyan didn't pay attention to Sun Qi's angry red face, and turned around directly and followed Li Zimo.

"Auntie, look at her, there are really no rules."

Sun Ying glanced at Sun Qi: "It's nothing, she has already done all the rituals she should do, is there anything unruly?" She sighed slightly, although she didn't understand why Sun Qi didn't like Yunyan so much, she didn't think much about it.

After straightening his clothes, Sun Qi raised his feet and walked forward: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet your father first." ”

Sun Qi listened, looked up at Yunyan's back, and was angry in his heart, but he couldn't help it, so he had to follow Sun Ying with a pout.

Not long after they left, another carriage came from the palace gate.

Zhang Yingqing got out of the carriage with Zhang Yinghan's support, and his face became a little pale.

"Sister, if you're not feeling well, why don't we go back?" Zhang Yinghan frowned, as if he was very worried, when he came out of the house, Zhang Yingqing had been sick, always saying that he was flustered, his chest was tight, and his stomach was still aching.

Originally, Zhang Yinghan thought that since Zhang Yingqing was uncomfortable, she should not come to the palace, and if something happened, she would blame her for not taking good care of Zhang Yingqing.

It's just that Zhang Yingqing thinks that this is the reception banquet after Princess Fangrong returns to the palace, the third prince Sun Yu is still outside, Yun Chan is a person who can't do it, and she is the only one in the entire Three Princes' Mansion who can be the representative, so she insists on coming.

"I'm at the gate of the palace, so naturally I want to go in, you don't need to say it, if I'm still unwell later, it's a big deal to ask the emperor to let the imperial doctor come and take a look." Zhang Yingqing insisted, even Zhang Yinghan had no way to disobey.

"Okay," Zhang Yinghan hugged Zhang Yingqing: "Then sister, you should pay attention to yourself, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me in time." ”

Zhang Yingqing's lips were also slightly white, she really didn't have much strength to say anything, she just nodded and slowly followed Zhang Yinghan into the palace.

Yunyan entered the palace this time to bring Haoxue with him, firstly, to let Haoxue protect himself, and secondly, if he deliberately did not bring Haoxue, it would make Yundaoxu feel that Yunyan was going to get out of his control.

Anyway, Yun Yan didn't do anything to be sorry for the Yun family and the Dao Ruins Sect, so it was a good choice to let Yun Dao Ruins know.

Haoxue followed Yunyan to the imperial dining room, and took the initiative to stand at the door, asking her to protect Yunyan to pass on the news, she was professional, but cooking in the kitchen was really not her forte.

Yunyan walked to the stove, glanced at the ingredients that had been prepared, and chuckled: "Look at this, you should have prepared the other dishes?" ”

Li Zimo nodded: "The emperor has set the theme of this family banquet early in the morning, and the main dishes have been prepared, but in terms of dim sum, the emperor has no requirements, but he hopes to have some new ideas, and the imperial chef who was in charge of pastries before really can't think of any good ideas, so I want to leave this matter to you to complete." ”

Yunyan chuckled, God helped her, originally Yunyan was thinking about what kind of dishes should be used to evoke the memories of these people in the palace?

That's right, the main reason why she agreed to help Li Zimo cook this time was because she wanted to take the opportunity of cooking to use some specific dishes that had been lost on the market to reawaken these people's memories of the Yun family and the extremely loose taste.

If you are making a big dish, you can only make the taste close to the taste, but if you use this method, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not be suspicious.

But now, if I choose to make dim sum, Yun Yan will remind these palace nobles of the Yun family without making the emperor suspicious.

"You help me get some things, anyway, there will be a while before the banquet, I'll prepare well." Yunyan branched out Li Zimo.
