Haoxue was stunned when she heard Yun Chan say this, turned her head and asked her, "What do you mean?" ”

"Zhao Guifei Niangniang wants to cooperate with the Dao Ruins Sect on some things." Yun Chan said, thinking that anyway, the existence of the Daoxu Sect is to protect her, so Haoxue should also be her maid, the master spoke, and there was no need to discuss with the maid, so she strengthened her tone again: "Since the Daoxu Sect belongs to the Yun family, then listen to me, and send someone to meet with the concubine Niangniang later." ”

Haoxue looked at Yun Chan's smug and self-righteous appearance, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Concubine Niangniang, although the Daoxu Sect was established for the Yun family, it will definitely not participate in the battle of the court, let alone the noble concubine Niangniang, even if it is the emperor, he can't let the Daoxu Sect bow down." ”

"I am the main vein of the Yun family! Shouldn't the Daoxu Sect listen to me?! Hao Xue didn't leave any face for Yun Chan, she was annoyed when she heard this, and stood up directly and slapped the table and scolded Hao Xue.

Haoxue originally wanted to use her to hide Yunyan's identity in order to protect Yunyan, but now that the goal has been achieved, naturally there is nothing wrong with Yunchan.

Listening to Yun Chan saying that she was the main vein of the Yun family, Hao Xue only felt ridiculous, she got up and saluted Yun Chan: "In the end, Hao Xue is just a slave, and the Daoxu Sect is not Hao Xue in charge, why should the side concubine be embarrassed by Hao Xue?" After speaking, she sighed slightly: "There are still things for Haoxue to do around the county lord, if there is nothing to do with the side concubine, Haoxue will retire first." ”

Walking out of the gate of the Three Princes' Mansion, Hao Xue sneered contemptuously, Yun Chan is really getting more and more unable to see her identity and status now.

And Yun Chan, who was rejected by Hao Xue, was so angry that she smashed a set of tea sets, a good Hao Xue, a good Dao Ruins Sect, dared to treat her like this, she was the main vein of the Yun family before, but now even Hao Xue's attitude towards her has become so casual, it's really hateful!

Time passed slowly, and it was time for the annual banquet in the palace, Li Zimo pondered for a long time in the imperial dining room, and discussed with many imperial chefs for a long time, but he still couldn't draw up a complete menu.

This palace banquet was attended by all the emperor's grandsons, and the emperor ordered that the dishes this time must be novel and chic enough, but the dishes in the traditional palace banquet rules are always the same, even if a lot of improvements have been made in the efforts of generations of imperial chefs over the years, there is really nothing new in the novelty.

When he was worried, Li Zimo suddenly thought of Yunyan, Li Zimo still remembered that Yunyan had replaced Yunchan to cook for the emperor, and judging from Yunyan's ability to introduce new dishes from time to time in the restaurant, he could definitely come up with any good dishes.

In this way, he took advantage of the time to rest and went directly to Yunyan's restaurant.

"Yo, Imperial Chef Li, it's a rare guest." As soon as Li Zimo stepped into the restaurant, Zhao Mingsheng saw him.

"Zhao Shizi." Li Zimo saw Zhao Mingsheng walking towards him, so he raised his hand and waved his attitude, "I don't know if the county lord of Yunyan is in the restaurant?" ”

Zhao Mingsheng's brows furrowed slightly, this kid, sure enough, he came to find Yunyan, the vinegar in his heart became a little thicker, although there was a kind smile on his face, he had already made up his mind to say that Yunyan was gone.

But before Zhao Mingsheng could speak, Yunyan heard the movement downstairs and went downstairs directly: "Imperial Chef Li, why are you here?" ”

Li Zimo saw Yunyan coming downstairs, his eyes were full of joy, he first saluted respectfully, and then said softly: "His Royal Highness the county lord, I really don't hide it, Zimo came here this time to ask for something." ”

Yun Yan glanced at the curious diners in the hall, and felt that it was really inappropriate to talk about business here, so he chuckled: "Imperial Chef Li come up with me." ”

Li Zimo was overjoyed and followed.

Where would Zhao Mingsheng tolerate Yunyan and Li Zimo being alone in the same room, so he naturally followed.

When he entered the attic and closed the door, when he turned around, he saw Yunyan and Li Zimo staring at him curiously, Zhao Mingsheng's face did not change and his heart did not beat: "What's wrong?" Isn't there anything you can't tell me about that is very secret? ”

For Yunyan, Zhao Mingsheng is a trustworthy person, naturally there is nothing that he can't know, and Li Zimo, since Zhao Mingsheng said so, if he is not allowed to stay here, Li Zimo is afraid that he will be crooked, and it will become a trouble when the time comes, so he didn't say anything.

Yunyan asked Li Zimo to sit down, and then spoke: "What is Imperial Chef Li asking for?" ”

"I wonder if His Royal Highness the county lord can help the officials refer to the dishes of this palace banquet?" Raising his hand, he handed the menu in his hand to Yunyan: "There are still a few big dishes and a few cold dishes missing, but the emperor ordered that it must be novel, and the lower officials really can't pay attention to it for a while." ”

Yun Yan glanced at the names of the dishes on the menu, they were indeed some dishes that had been seen in the palace for a long time, but a few of them seemed to have been improved and slightly new, but it was not enough to achieve the novelty of the dishes that the emperor said.

The Emperor's Banquet...... Yunyan was studying the menu while making a gesture, but he was thinking that the emperor originally had an old disease, and he used to rely on Wei Ji San to suppress it, and Wei Ji San was really a good life-saving medicine if it was used well, if this old disease recurred in the future, the emperor needed Wei Ji San, and it would be just around the corner if he wanted to regain the Yun family.

"Lord Yunyan?" Li Zimo looked at Yunyan and seemed to be in a daze, only to see a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but this smile was very faint, and she couldn't tell it if she didn't look carefully, so Li Zimo thought that Yunyan had already thought of how to make these dishes, so he asked out loud.

Yunyan was pulled back to her thoughts by Li Zimo's voice, and she chuckled: "Imperial Chef Li, as you know, it naturally takes some effort and time to research new dishes, and the most important thing is that new dishes need to be constantly adjusted." ”

She said and slowly stood up: "No matter what I say in this restaurant, it is going to be open, and the back kitchen is very busy, so it would be really bad if I went to make trouble." ”

Li Zimo can mix in this position in the palace, and the basic observation of words and expressions is naturally good, and when he heard Yunyan say this, he immediately said: "The imperial kitchen is big, and the things are complete, and the lower officials will explain everything to the emperor later, and when the time comes, please ask the lord of Yunyan to move to the imperial dining room." ”

Yunyan nodded with satisfaction: "That's fine, I also ask Imperial Chef Li to take care of it." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

They exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Li Zimo left the restaurant.

Zhao Mingsheng listened to Yunyan's conversation throughout the whole process, and didn't speak, until he sent Li Zimo out of the restaurant, he turned around and asked Yunyan: "Do you really want to go to the palace to help him develop new dishes?" ”

Yunyan nodded: "Since she has spoken, there is no reason not to go." ”

Zhao Mingsheng was silent, he always felt that Yunyan would agree to help not because Li Zimo opened his mouth to ask, but the smile on the corner of her mouth always made Zhao Mingsheng feel uneasy: "You actually wanted to go to the imperial dining room in the palace for a long time, didn't you?" ”

Hearing Zhao Mingsheng say this, Yunyan turned her head to look at him, her expression quickly changed from the original surprise to indifference, she chuckled: "What are you talking about, the imperial dining room is not a very good place, I have also been there, where can I yearn for it so much?" ”

After speaking, Yunyan turned around and went back upstairs to continue to take care of things in the restaurant.

On the second day, the palace made a decree, saying that the chef of Yunyan County was skilled, and he hereby invited the lord of Yunyan County to enter the palace and jointly develop the dishes to be used in the palace banquet in the imperial dining room.

Yunyan freshened up and dressed up early in the morning, although she was gorgeous, she replaced those cumbersome jewelry with simple accessories, and it was not rude to the royal family, and it was more convenient to act.

When he arrived at the imperial dining room, Li Zimo and his assistant chef were already waiting for Yunyan, and when they saw Yunyan and wanted to salute, they saw her raise her hand and waved: "Just salute, I'm just here to help, I'm not very familiar with this place, just take care of it when the time comes." ”

"Whatever the county lord says, what the county lord commands, we should do our best." Li Zimo saw that Yunyan was polite, so he was also a lot relieved, after all, his helpers were still worried, what should they do if Yunyan had a big temper and didn't get along.

"I thought of two dishes yesterday, but I haven't had time to make them in a hurry, so I asked Imperial Chef Li to explore and refer to them together." Yunyan smiled at the corner of her mouth, originally she seemed to be a kind person, and this smile seemed to be the warm sun of Sanchun that melted the winter snow, which made everyone in the imperial dining room feel a lot more relaxed.

Li Zimo naturally stepped forward to help without saying a word, and at the end of the day, he decided on several dishes, two cold dishes and one hot dish, but these were far from enough.

"Seeing that it's getting late, you all go back." Yunyan glanced at it, it was already dark, and according to the rules of the palace, except for the imperial chef on duty, everyone else had to go out of the palace and go home before the palace door was locked.

When the cooks heard this, they thanked Yunyan happily, and then took off their aprons and cleaned the kitchen again before leaving.

Yunyan watched the gang go out, pretending to study what kind of dishes, until Li Zimo went out for a while, he looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one around, so he took out a small packet of medicinal powder that he was carrying, and added a little bit to all the spice jars.

Since the emperor's old illness was originally cured by Wei Ji San, Yun Yan knew the principle of Wei Ji San's treatment, and naturally knew how to eliminate the effect of Wei Ji San's body.

If this medicinal powder is eaten by ordinary people, it will naturally be fine, but if the emperor eats it, the old disease will recur, not to mention that in the final analysis, it is not considered a poison, even if you use a silver needle or ask the imperial doctor to investigate, you will not be able to find out why.

After everything was cleaned up, Yunyan continued to develop the dishes seriously.

The day of the palace banquet came soon, and one moment the emperor was still praising the dishes for being novel enough and the taste was really delicious, but the next moment, the emperor, who was originally very cautious, rubbed his temples and shouted that he had a headache.

"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" When Gonggong Zhang saw that the situation was wrong, he hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor.
