Xiaobai was carried to the wing room to sleep, and the Empress Dowager also rested in the west hall of Cining Palace.

Xiaoguo looked at the list that Shang Shangfang had prepared and sent over there, and it was the people who would be invited by the Hundred Flowers Society.

She flipped through a few times at random, and had to be depressed to find that in this world she had completely become illiterate, and the charcoal in her hand skillfully turned a few times around her fingertips, she poked her head out of the window, and said to Bi Tao, who was teasing the finches under the eaves: "Bi Tao, help me call the chef of the imperial dining room to come over?" ”

Bi Tao hurriedly put down the rice box in her hand, blessed her body, and said "yes".

Out of the corner of her eye, Xiaoguo caught a glimpse of a shadow moving rapidly at the other end of the corridor, she turned to see Mama Wang holding a big object, and wanted to turn the corner, Xiaoguo shouted loudly: "Mama Wang!" ”

Mama Wang was stunned and turned around.

Xiaoguo greeted with a smile: "Mama Wang, why didn't you lie down and rest, and came out to work again?" ”

Mama Wang had no choice but to walk towards her.

Walking to Xiaoguo's window, she made a big salute and said respectfully: "Thank you, old slave, the Queen Mother's compassion!" ”

Xiaoguo looked curiously at the big wooden box in her arms: "Mama, where are you going?" ”

Mama Wang seemed to remember the business at this time, she put the wooden box in her hand on the table, and said with a smile: "This is the old slave from the hometown, the family used to rely on this to feed, this lump of soil, when it just grows up, the water is sufficient, crisp and sweet, and in this season the water is dry, and it can no longer be eaten, but I still want to get some back to make a thought." Just now, after being reminded by Luru, I remembered that rats also love this, they don't dislike how much water is, in order to avoid attracting these plague gods to the house, I still throw it away! ”

As soon as Xiaoguo heard that it was eaten, she immediately came to her senses, and she put down the roster in her hand: "What is it?" Can you show me? ”

Mama Wang put the wooden box on the table and said, "Niangniang, but it's okay to look at it." ”

Xiaoguo couldn't wait to open the wooden box, and it was a box full of sweet potatoes, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Mama Wang had already heard of what Xiaoguo had done, and when she saw her shining eyes, she hugged the wooden box into her arms again: "Niangniang, this is something for inferior people and livestock to eat, and it is not suitable for people of noble status like Niangniang." ”

Xiaoguo saw that she was about to take it back, so she hurriedly snatched the box over, and said with a mixed smile: "Mama, since you are going to throw it away, why don't you give it to me, and I will help you dispose of it!" ”

Mama Wang seemed to be rummaging around with sweet potatoes at random: "Niangniang, don't embarrass the old slave!" ”

Under Xiaoguo's repeated assurances, Mama Wang finally compromised, she took out a sweet potato, said to take it back and carve a shape to dry, and give the rest to Xiaoguo.

At the end, she sighed: "It's not that the old slave is embarrassed, it's just that the queen mother eats sweet potatoes, and being found out will damage the face of the royal family!" The emperor has gradually grown up, and you don't want him to leave a smear of dust in the history books because of this incident, right? ”

Xiaoguo reluctantly compromised: "I promise you, I won't plaster the emperor because of eating sweet potatoes!" ”

Mama Wang relieved her heart: "That's good, otherwise the old slave's sin will be great!" ”

She was just about to turn around and retreat, her eyes fell on the roster on the table, and she stopped again: "Niangniang is looking up the list of the Hundred Flowers Club?" ”

Xiaoguo nodded: "Yes, the Hundred Flowers Festival is scheduled for the fifteenth of next month, and the invitation letter for the participants in the Flower Festival has been written." ”

Mama Wang asked, "Is there a second lady's name?" ”

Xiaoguo was puzzled: "Which second lady?" ”

Mama Wang slapped her forehead violently: "Look at the old slave's memory!" I should have told you all the things related to the Queen Mother earlier. ”

Xiaoguo looked at her with a confused expression.

Mama Wang smiled and said: "Niangniang, your closest relatives in the world are not only the emperor, but also the master and the second miss, the second miss is five years younger than you, and now she is still waiting to be married!" ”

Xiaoguo was shocked that his jaw was about to dislocate, only to hear Mama Wang continue: "The master had hysteria a few years ago, took the medicine of the miracle doctor, and was close to recovery, but recently somehow, there are signs of recurrence, don't worry, the matter is not very serious, but the second lady is not necessarily willing to leave the master and come to Bian Yang alone." Alas! It would be nice if they could come together, but it's inconvenient for the lord to go far away because of his illness! ”

After a while, Xiaoguo found her voice back, she grabbed Mama Wang's hand, and asked eagerly: "You mean, I still have a father and a sister in this world?" Where are they now? ”

Mama Wang nodded with a smile: "They have always lived in the border city. ”

Xiaoguo stuffed the list into Mama Wang's hand: "Mama, are you literate?" See if there is a sister's name? ”

Mama Wang lowered her eyelids, hiding the light of success, carefully flipped through the list, and when she looked at it for the second time, she pointed to one of the names and said with a smile: "Isn't there a second lady's name?!" ”

Xiaoguo recognizes these three words "Guo Xiaoyang"! That's my sister's name!

She suddenly remembered that Xiaobai had said that her name in this world is "Guo Xiaoma"!

Xiaoguo's heart jumped violently, she was an orphan in the last life, although her adoptive father's family treated her as if she were her own, but after all, there was no intimacy connected by blood, thinking of the desire to have relatives in the previous life, it was realized in this world, her heart beat fast, she finally had relatives!

There is a father, and a sister of a compatriot!

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Mama Wang withdrew, and she slowly walked out of the palace with a mocking smile on her lips.

At this moment, Xiaoguo's excitement has gradually faded, and uneasiness has crept into her heart again: Dad, sister? Am I entitled to this affection? What if they find out I'm an impostor?

Xiaoguo was still tormented in the ice and fire, and the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the hall: "See you in the imperial dining room!" ”

Xiaoguo put away her thoughts, put on the posture of the queen mother, and sat upright.

Not long after she was older, Bi Tao brought a middle-aged man of medium stature and white chubby to Xiaoguo.

He made a standard greeting without hurrying, and said: "The director of the imperial dining room returns to Luan, and I will meet the queen mother." ”

Salmon eggs?

Xiaoguo was almost choked by saliva, and she desperately suppressed her desire to laugh: "Your surname?" ”

Xiaoguo's politeness, the return to the imperial kitchen panicked: "Return, return to the queen mother, return to the surname of Weichen, return to return." ”

Xiaoguo was a little disappointed in her heart, it was not salmon, she let out an "oh", the appearance of salmon eggs appeared uncontrollably in her mind, and even smelled it, thinking of salmon eggs, salmon roe sushi was naturally indispensable, and then all kinds of sushi swirled, appearing in various tempting forms, tuna sushi, eel sushi, shrimp sushi, shiitake mushroom sushi......

When she came back to her senses, she saw that the imperial kitchen was still kneeling on the ground, her white and full forehead covered with beads of sweat.

She patted her head in annoyance: "Look at the brains of this palace, get up quickly!" Bi Tao, come and move a stool for the supervisor to sit down. ”

During this period of Xiaoguo's distraction, Chef Gui's brain was not idle, he searched his stomach and thought about what happened during this time, from the Queen Mother's sudden arrival in the imperial dining room, to the Queen Mother's refusal to start a small stove for the meals in the imperial dining room, to now even the emperor has eaten in a small kitchen with the Queen Mother...

What went wrong? Is the meal not delicious enough? Or did someone say bad things about the imperial dining room in front of the Queen Mother?

What can be done to reverse this situation? Will the Imperial Dining Room be cancelled if this continues?

So where should he go back?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he almost decided that the Queen Mother was deliberately giving himself a dismount.

So Xiaoguo's words made him even more bottomless, he endured his numb legs, and half-sat and half-squatted next to the edge of the brocade stool.

I only heard Xiaoguo say again: "Don't be restrained, this palace came to you this time to discuss some questions about the Hundred Flowers Society." ”

When he heard that it was a matter of the Hundred Flowers Society, he was not going to dismiss him, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his demeanor gradually recovered, and he said respectfully: "Listen to the Queen Mother's orders." ”

Xiao Guo said with a smile: "Director Gui is more experienced in this area, and I don't know if some ideas in this palace are applicable, so I will ask the supervisor for advice." ”

The most proud thing about returning to the imperial kitchen is that he was the main director of the Hundred Flowers Club five years ago, and at this time, when he heard that even the Queen Mother had to deign to ask for advice, his self-confidence immediately returned to his body, and he was the calm director of the imperial dining room: "Please speak." ”

Xiaoguo thought for a while and asked, "What are the drinks provided to female guests at the Hundred Flowers Club in the past?" ”

Gui Imperial Chef said without thinking: "Back to the Queen Mother, the rest drinks before lunch for the female guests include flower tea, green tea and fruit wine, and an extra hawthorn soup will be added after the meal." ”

Xiaoguo said: "This palace wants to add several kinds of fruit soup to the drink, how about returning to the supervisor's opinion?" ”

Gui Yu's face was a little embarrassed, he carefully considered and said: "Please ask the Queen Mother to atone for her sins, Niangniang's order should have been obeyed, but there has never been a precedent for making soup with fruit, in case the taste is unsatisfactory, but it will fold the majesty of Niangniang, why don't you wait for Weichen to go back and try to do it, please ask Niangniang to taste it herself and then make a decision, what do you think?" ”

Xiaoguo smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about this matter to the imperial chef, you can come with this palace!" ”
