Ye Xi glanced at him, "Zhong Licong, I'm too bored to stay in this palace, you send someone to send me a few boxes of medicinal herbs, this girl wants to refine medicine!" ”​

Zhong Licong saw that she took the initiative to talk to him for the first time in a long time, and he was very happy in his heart, so he naturally nodded again and again.

Ye Xi thought that if he wanted to destroy him, the first step was to ease the relationship between the two.

Zhong Licong's face was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll send someone to bring it to you tomorrow!" ”

Ye Xi had a bored expression on his face, "It's not fun at all in this palace, when you go to court tomorrow, remember to inform the ministers and let their daughters enter the palace tomorrow night, I want to hold a fun and delicious food conference!" ”

Ye Xi felt that if he continued to be decadent like this, he really didn't know himself. Since she has nothing to do, then she finds something to do.

Ye Xi reluctantly said, "If you have time tomorrow night, you can also bring those ministers to participate." ”

After Ye Xi finished speaking, he didn't care whether he agreed or not, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you can get out, I'm going to sleep." ”​

Zhong Licong saw that although her attitude was still very bad, it was much better than before.

Zhong Licong got up and left the main hall.

Han Ming was guarding outside, and two female guards were guarding inside the hall, and they stood on both sides of the bead curtain, one on the left and one on the right.

Early the next morning, Ye Xi got up, drew two pictures, and ordered them to send someone from the Shanggong Bureau to do it before today's unitary time, otherwise they would each be beaten with fifty sticks.

Then Ye Xi went to the dance and music workshop, and ordered people to rehearse dances and songs, as well as plays.

Towards the end of the day, she left the dance hall and returned to her dormitory. Ye Xi asked people to invite Shang Gong of the Shang Palace Bureau to come and bring the finished things with them.

After Shang Gong came, she walked into the main hall of Chaohua Palace, knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Xi, "Slave maid to meet the queen mother, mother thousand years old thousand years old thousand years old!" ”

Ye Xi walked over from his seat, "Get up!" Did you send someone to do what I asked you to do? ”

The Shang Palace in front of him was just in office, and the previous Shang Palace was killed by the emperor because he offended Ye Xi. So now this Shang Palace is extremely afraid of Ye Xi, and His Majesty was furious and killed all the stewards of the Shang Palace Bureau and the Inner Servant Province, adding up to more than 100 people.

Shang Gong was respectful, "Back to the queen's mother, the slave has already sent someone to do it." ”

Ye Xi said, "Yes! When you see me in the future, don't add that reply before you speak, I don't like it. ”

Shang Gong nodded and replied, "Return, no, the slave maid obeys the teachings of the queen!" ”

Shang Gong didn't know why she didn't like that word, but she didn't dare to ask, just obey the order.

Ye Xi took a few pieces of paper in his hand and handed it to her, "This is the recipe for tonight's banquet, prepare it for me according to this, remember, no one is missing." ”

The full name of this Shang Gong is Shi Huayun, the age is almost twenty-seven or eighteen, she has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she has been suppressed by the people above before, and she has not been promoted, and suddenly overnight, she has changed from a small female history to today's Shang Palace, just like a dream.

Shi Shanggong held the pieces of paper in both hands and replied, "Yes, the slave obeys!" ”

Then she said goodbye and went down.

Shi Shanggong didn't understand at all that the thing that the queen had sent someone to make this morning was round, with a tower-like thing in the middle, surrounded by a trough. There was another thing she couldn't even describe, and she didn't know what it was for.

Next, Shi Shanggong arranged according to her request.

Then she went to the dining room herself and prepared the main dish.

When she arrived, all the people in the dining room were full of surprise when they saw her, and they all knelt down and saluted, "Slave and maid see the queen mother!" ”

The chef of the dining room stood at the front, respectful, "Queen Mother, why did you come to the dining room in person?" What if we are not thoughtful? Niangniang sent a palace maid to tell the slave maid and the others! You don't have to be there in person! ”

Ye Xi helped them up, "Don't be afraid, you haven't done anything wrong?" I'm here to make the staple food for tonight's feast, so you can help me do it! ”

Si Shan was so frightened that he knelt down when he heard this, and everyone else also knelt down, "Queen Mother, how can the slave let the Queen Mother do it herself, even if she kills the slave and maid, the slave and the maid don't dare to let the Queen Mother do it!" ”

Ye Xi frowned, was she so terrible? Doesn't she just want to make tonight's main course herself? One by one, they were scared and scattered.

It's not that you are terrible, but the emperor's will is terrible, and if you offend you, you will be directly looking for death.

Zhong Licong here came to Chaohua Palace, only to know that Ye Xi went to the dining room, he thought, what did Xiao Nizi do in the dining room? Does she still cook? He was very curious, so he prepared to go to the dining room himself.

Ye Xi looked at them and glanced at Han Ming, "Han Ming, do I look terrible?" They all look like this, I feel like I'm going to eat them! ”

When Han Ming heard what she said, she scolded in her heart, Niangniang, it's not that you are terrible, but that our emperor is more terrifying, and he spoils you so much that the whole palace is afraid of you.

Han Ming replied with respect, "Back to the queen, they are not afraid of you, but afraid of the emperor." ”

Ye Xi heard this, so it was, she smiled.

Han Ming bent down and saluted respectfully, "Niangniang, don't say that the minister told Niangniang about this, otherwise Your Majesty will have to pull out the minister's skin." ”

Ye Xi patted him on the shoulder and promised, "Okay, don't worry, I will never say anything about this!" ”

At this time, a cold voice suddenly rushed in from outside, "Never say anything?" Let me hear it too! ”

When Ye Xi saw the figure coming in, he was thinking in his heart, why did he come?

When the others saw the figure in front of them, they were all shocked and stunned for a few seconds before kneeling down and saluting.

Ye Xi didn't have a good face, "Why are you here?" Are you idle? Don't need to make corrections or deal with national affairs? ”

Zhong Licong looked at her with a displeased expression, and his heart felt a tingling feeling. Hearing this, Zhong Licong forgot what he was about to ask just now.

The palace people who knelt on the ground heard what the queen mother said to the emperor, and the tone, it was simply frightened, the queen mother was too rude, and the tone was too impulsive, just like Her Majesty was her enemy.

The few people around Ye Xi were not surprised, after all, the attitude of the queen mother was usually worse than this, but our emperor didn't seem to mind.

Ye Xi looked at the palace people who were kneeling, "Tonight's main dish, I want to do it myself, you can help, don't say no." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Zhong Licong saw that they didn't answer, so he ordered in a cold voice, "Didn't you hear?" Don't answer yet! ”

Everyone didn't dare to reply, "Slaves and maids must obey the queen's mother's edict!" ”

Ye Xi glanced at Zhong Licong, "Since you're here, don't stand there, do it for me!" ”

Zhong Licong didn't speak, he looked at Ye Xi. Ye Xi saw that he didn't answer, "What, don't you want to?" ”

Zhong Licong thought, he has never cooked when he is so big, isn't this embarrassing for himself?

Zhong Licong saw that she was angry, and he immediately shook his head, "No, no, willing, willing, whatever you tell me to do, I'm willing!" ”

Ye Xi took a few dishes and put them in his arms, "Go, wash these for me!" ”

She glanced at Han Ming, and her face was full of warnings, "Han Ming, don't help him." Because you've got something to do! ”

Ye Xi took two buckets, "Fetch me water!" ”

Then, he commanded the guard next to Zhong Licong now, "And you, don't be there?" Chop wood for me! ”

That person was the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, named Liu Zan, and Han Ming was the orthodox leader.

Liu Zan saw that the emperor was under the command of the queen mother, and of course he had to obey it.

The people in this dining room really saw the world's greatest strange news today, His Majesty entered the kitchen, and the two commanders of the Praetorian Guard were one chopping wood and the other carrying water, and they were both commanded by the queen.

This matter has spread to the people, and even to future generations, and has been talked about by people for a long, long time, but this is a later story.

Zhong Licong looked at these baskets of vegetables, and he really didn't know where to start. Ye Xi saw that he was sitting there and didn't move, he couldn't look at it, walked over, and commanded, "This green vegetable, tear off the leaves one by one and wash them."

For this radish, the front and back ends should be cut, and then the skin should be scraped and then washed.

And this potato, peel it and wash it again.

This bean, you need to pinch the front and back ends, and the above scriptures are sorted out. She showed him as she spoke.

Zhong Licong saw that her mouth was talking non-stop, and he smiled, this was the first time she had said so many things to herself since she came to the palace for so long.

Ye Xi said, "Do you understand? Zhong Licong nodded.

"Then you can do it!" She spoke lightly.

Ye Xi then arranged for others.

After an hour, everything was ready.

Ye Xi said, "Okay, everyone has worked hard today, call it a day!" ”

Everyone looked at the delicate and delicious food on the board, and they couldn't help but want to taste it.

Because there was some food on it, they hadn't seen it, and they didn't expect that the queen mother was not only gentle in temper, but also first-class in cooking.

Although there are only eight types of dishes and desserts combined, each one is delicate and delicious, and it smells good. These eight types of dishes and desserts, each of which has a total of more than 100 plates, can be used by thousands of people.

Ye Xi asked Qingmei, "Qingmei, did they bring the cart made by the Shanggong Bureau?" ”

Qingmei replied, "Hui Niangniang, they have already brought it just now!" ”

Ye Xi really didn't want to correct them anymore, and when they replied, he had to add that reply, or the word "yu".

Ye Xi said, "Okay, now put these prepared dishes and desserts on the cart and send someone to the banquet hall, Zhaoyun Palace." ”

Ye Xi had the cart brought in, and they put all the food on the cart.

Ye Xi glanced at the people in the dining room, "You have worked hard today, and this small part is specially left to you." ”

Everyone thanked in unison, "Slaves and maids, thank you for the queen's reward!" ”

Ye Xi smiled, "You're welcome! ”

Ye Xi glanced at Han Ming and said, "Okay, we can go to Zhaoyun Palace!" ”

Then, they came to the Zhaoyun Hall together.

In the Zhaoyun Hall here, all the officials' families have arrived, looking at the carts rushing in, their faces are full of curiosity, they have never seen this thing.

When the eunuchs who came in opened the white cloth on the cart and saw that it was full of delicate food, everyone swallowed.

Dozens of eunuchs pushed carts and passed in front of those officials and family members one by one, serving eight dishes.

After they served the eight dishes and desserts, they all withdrew. Those people couldn't help but look at these exquisite foods, and they wanted to pick up their chopsticks and taste them.

But everyone didn't dare to do it, after all, the emperor and queen hadn't come yet, who would dare to eat in advance! Isn't that looking for death?
