Chapter 203: An Accident Within an Accident
This time, the emperor miscalculated, thinking that if Ye Haixuan started as a pawn, the prefect and Ye Haixuan would feel very aggrieved.
After all, the two of them are thousands of miles apart, and the prefect also officially handed over the letter of recommendation in advance, and in the emperor's subconscious, the expected position of these two people should be a general.
Besides, as soon as the prefect met, he praised Ye Haixuan's ability to command the army, what is the role of a commander?
Who knew that the prefect and Ye Haixuan nodded with satisfaction, and then thanked the emperor together.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty. The prefect took Ye Haixuan and saluted and thanked the emperor together.
The emperor had a feeling of indescribable grievance.
"Flatten. The Emperor called them up, and put a piece of candied fruit in his mouth.
I can't live a sweet life without eating something sweet in this world!
"The old minister has one more thing he wants to discuss with His Majesty. The prefect said to the emperor again.
The Emperor half-narrowed his eyes and nodded for him to continue.
To be honest, the emperor didn't want to see Ye Haixuan anymore, He Jingjing was a good girl, but in the emperor's opinion, she could stay in the capital and take charge of the imperial dining room.
As a result, Ye Haixuan was killed, and he was stunned whether he abducted his little niece away, or sneaked away while he was not paying attention.
Whenever he thought of the scene of that day, the emperor felt panicked in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants Ye Haixuan to serve in my Linzhou Mansion, so that the county lord of Pingyang will be closer, so that their newlyweds will not suffer from lovesickness. ”
As soon as the prefect's words came out, Ye Haixuan's eyes lit up with a flame of hope again.
This means that I can still see He Jingjing often, and I can often open a small stove to eat something good?
Hearing this, the emperor paused for a moment.
Ye Haixuan was originally a businessman, and it stands to reason that there is no way to enter the army to serve the country.
Now that he has been strongly recommended by the prefect, it is already a great grace for him to ask for Ye Haixuan, why are you still talking about the conditions?
"No, you can't. After the emperor finished speaking, he felt very happy in his heart, just to make this Ye Haixuan suffer a little!
"Your Majesty, just for the sake of the face of the county lord of Pingyang, you can just agree, right?" The prefect put down his body and moved out He Jingjing to intercede.
The emperor still shook his head, these two people didn't say goodbye at the beginning, and now they have to let them taste the bitterness!
"Your Majesty, the county lord's food academy in Pingyang has been opened, and it is currently recruiting students, and the county lord has asked the old minister to ask you, do you want to add steak to the recipe?"
Of course, the prefect knew why the emperor didn't want to see Ye Haixuan so much, so he used roundabout tactics to persuade the emperor.
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, He Jingjing's gastronomic academy was set up so quickly?
That's really good, and it seems that I will be able to eat the steak I have been thinking about day and night again.
So the emperor thought about it, and finally nodded after a while.
"Okay, for the sake of the face of the county lord of Pingyang, Lone can't let you go too far, then it's gracious, let Ye Haixuan serve in Linzhou Mansion. ”
Seeing that the emperor finally agreed, the prefect and Ye Haixuan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the prefect casually said a few homely words to the emperor, and then left with Ye Haixuan.
As soon as the prefect and Ye Haixuan left, the emperor called his personal eunuch over.
"You go and tell the eldest princess to ask her to transfer a few materials from the imperial dining room to He Jingjing's food academy to study, and emphasize that they must learn how to make steaks!"
The eunuch who got the order hurriedly went to the eldest princess's mansion to explain the emperor's instructions.
The eldest princess here got the emperor's command, so she didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly came to the imperial dining room to look at the list, picked a few good players and handed the list to the eunuch again, and asked the eunuch to take it back to the emperor to see.
The emperor frowned when he got the list, why are they all names that he has never heard of?
Are these people in this dining room?
"None of the top performers in the last cooking contest were on it?" the emperor asked the eunuch as if he had suddenly remembered something.
"Back to Your Majesty, the eldest princess just said that these people have the most experience, the shortest learning time, and the most potential. The eunuch said truthfully to the emperor.
The emperor thought about it, there was still Concubine Yan's little niece in the top few of the last cooking competition, and he was relieved that his family sent him, so the emperor asked for the list of the top few, and then with a stroke of the pen, he added the names of these people.
Looking at this complete list, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then let his subordinates arrange it.
"Call me back to the prefect of Linzhou Mansion and that Ye Haixuan, I have something to tell them. Suddenly, the emperor remembered something, and called the arranger back.
Then let him go and call the prefect of Linzhou Mansion and Ye Haixuan back.
The man didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly went to find the prefect and Ye Haixuan.
After leaving the palace, the two came directly to the eldest princess's mansion and reminisced with the eldest princess.
From the mouth of the eldest princess, the two of them knew that the emperor had sent someone to ask for a list, and the prefect and Ye Haixuan were not surprised at all.
He Jingjing had verbally agreed with the emperor when he proposed to do a food academy before, and when the food academy was established in the future, it would definitely provide talents for the royal family.
Most of the talents in gastronomy are concentrated in the imperial dining room, so it is normal for the emperor to allocate manpower from the inside.
While the three of them were catching up, a eunuch came in.
"The emperor issued an edict to the prefect of the state capital and Ye Haixuan to meet him. ”
Hearing this, the three of them were surprised. Didn't you just come out of the upper study, why are you going to see you again?
But neither the prefect nor Ye Haixuan dared to delay, and hurriedly followed his father-in-law's footsteps back to the upper study.
"Coming?" The emperor saw that the prefect and Ye Haixuan were back, and greeted him casually.
"Lao Chen and Ye Haixuan knocked to see Your Majesty. The two saluted the emperor again.
The emperor flattened the two, and then took out the list that was written to be sent to He Jingjing's food academy.
"Do you know what I'm trying to do with you?" said the Emperor, with a slight smile on his lips.
Both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
"You take this list, and then bring it back to He Jingjing, and I will send these people to study at her food academy in the near future. "The emperor asked the list to be handed over to the prefect and Ye Haixuan.
Both of them broke out in a cold sweat when they saw the list.
This is completely different from the list that the eldest princess said!
There are Cai Shishi and Yan Ruyu on it!
