Entering this courtyard half-hidden in the lush greenery, Bao'er and her party came to the backyard of this courtyard after passing through several green brick walls crawling with moss and green leaves. Along the way, between each of the blue brick walls, there will be several female warriors, holding swords around their waists, guarding the walls.

As Bao'er came to the backyard, the backyard was also half-hidden, and the golden tile hall among the trees and flowers also appeared in front of her. I saw that this gorgeous temple, which was half-hidden among the moonlit grass and trees, was shining through the vermilion lacquered wooden windows at this time, illuminating the courtyard outside the hall. From time to time, there was a sound of laughter, faintly coming from the hall.

The small steps up the stone steps of the temple were about to enter this gorgeous temple that was half-hidden and lush. Several female palace people waiting outside the door of the palace took over the vermilion lacquer food boxes from the hands of the beautiful palace maids who were carrying food boxes. But they didn't need them, and they sent these dishes prepared for His Majesty into the palace.

Looking at the food boxes that he had brought along the way, they were taken away from his hands one by one by the female palace people who came forward. The beautiful palace maids who came with Bao'er couldn't help but wipe a trace of loss on their beautiful faces. After all, I missed such a good opportunity to get close to Your Majesty. But I don't know if there is such a good opportunity. And those of them who served His Majesty in the inner city, who didn't want to be favored by His Majesty, and have always been with the king since then?

The palace maids who were waiting outside the door of the palace took the vermilion lacquer food box in their hands. Under the guidance of a female palace person, they reluctantly left this temple, which they could not enter.

And Bao'er looked as usual, and called to the hall in front of the Zhu Gate: "Your Majesty, Niangniang." The dish has been delivered. ”

"You~ It's a little late on this dish~ The palace has already eaten the side dishes made here with Your Majesty~ Come in ~"

Soft voices came from inside the room. As the words came, Bao'er was behind the two female palace people beside her, one on the left and one on the left and one wide vermilion lacquered wooden window. took the few female palace people carrying food boxes and walked into this brightly lit temple.

Under the bright and large dragon golden candles, I saw that this hall was extremely extravagant! Between the thick vermilion lacquered wooden pillars, there are many tulle curtains woven with gold threads, which show the golden luster of the satin under the reflection of the golden candles in the room. Some of the ubiquitous gilded dragon lamp trees are very exquisitely made, and between the gilded branches of many curved arches, it is natural to circle a number of candlesticks for placing gold candles. The unusually bright golden candles were burning in these, the candlesticks on the lamp tree. Reflecting the candlesticks, plates, dragon lantern trees, they all have a layer of gold shining color.

The vermilion brocade carpet covered the entire temple. It echoes with some of the various exotic objects, and the vermilion slightly faint wooden frame. In the inner part of the temple, behind a huge wall-like screen embroidered with landscape silk faces, from time to time there is a sound of laughter between women and men. Bao'er stepped on the vermilion brocade carpet, and silently led the female palace people carrying vermilion lacquer food boxes behind her to the inner part of the hall, beside the screen where the laughter of women and men was heard.

When she turned the screen and came to the inside of the screen. I saw that in front of the brocade tent bed covered by a veil, there was a man and a woman kneeling on the bright yellow brocade on the left and right in front of a long vermilion lacquer table with carved moire, eating some small dishes on the table, and drinking the fine wine in the golden pot.

A beautiful woman in a gauze dress is accompanying a middle-aged man who is one year old and about forty years old at this time. The middle-aged man has a two-handed, well-groomed beard. The man's complexion is also very fair, although he has gained some weight due to his age, but he can still see that he should also be a handsome person when he is young. The middle-aged man in a bright yellow brocade robe, one arm was stopping at this time, and the beautiful woman in a gauze dress beside him was on the thin waist.

Squinted his slightly drunk eyes, but he didn't pay attention to the approaching Bao'er. Instead, he focused on the beautiful woman who was by his side. The palm that holds the waist on the woman's thin waist is also a little dishonest, not at the time of the slender waist of the beautiful woman, touch it this and that, as if there is not enough.

And the beautiful woman had apricot eyes and giggled from time to time. While still using her white and tender hands, she poured the wine in the golden pot beside her into the golden cup on the table from time to time. Then she sent the gold cup to the man, and waited for the man to drink the wine that he had brought her to her.

"Baby, hurry up~ Give all the dishes to Your Majesty~ This old man eats small dishes and drinks wine, and it is not okay not to eat some main dishes."

When the beautiful woman saw it, she had already come to her and the middle-aged man. said softly to Bao'er.

After listening to the words of the beautiful woman, Bao'er bowed slightly and responded "promise". Immediately, he instructed the female palace people who were carrying the vermilion lacquer food box to bring the dishes brought from the outer city to the long vermilion lacquer table in front of the middle-aged man and the beautiful woman. As the lids on the dishes were opened one by one, the fragrance of the dishes also made the white-faced man, who was slightly drunk from eating and drinking, couldn't help but cheer up. And the female palace people who had served the dishes bowed down and retreated in an orderly manner, retreating silently outside the screen.

"Your Majesty~ Try the dishes made by the chef in this dining room? ~”

"Hmmm! ~”

The beautiful woman laughed softly, and handed the pair of ivory chopsticks in front of the man to the man's hand. The man was smiling, and after glancing at the beautiful woman, he raised his chopsticks and grabbed the dishes that he brought from the outside city.

Looking at His Majesty in front of him, he used chopsticks to pick up a piece of fresh and tender fish in the fish soup. Bao'er couldn't help but feel a little nervous in her heart. But I remembered what I saw when I entered the dining room just now, the young cook who was sweating profusely for His Majesty's cooking, and was shirtless...

Just as Bao'er stared at the black and bright eyes, looking at the chopsticks in His Majesty's hand, holding the piece of fresh fish meat and gradually approaching her mouth. The chopsticks stopped the next moment. Watching His Majesty stop, holding the chopsticks of tender fish. Bao'er's heart suddenly became more nervous. Some chaotic thoughts, go and fill the heart at this time... Your Majesty, Your Majesty how... Why did you stop chopsticks? Could it be, could it be that the cook... Bad cooking? Your Majesty doesn't want to eat? But, these dishes are really fragrant?! Your Majesty how.. Why did you stop chopsticks?

Bao'er, who was still in a panic in her heart, was slightly stunned for a moment, and heard the words of inquiry come to her ears: "These dishes, which room in the dining room is made?" ”

"Yes...."

Bao'er, who came back to her senses from Leng Shen'er immediately, just said the word "yes", but she couldn't take it anymore. But because she saw the scene of the young cook naked and strong in the dining room, she was so distraught that she forgot to ask who was in the dining room and cooked the dishes for His Majesty according to the rules on weekdays...

After His Majesty's fierce question, she immediately couldn't answer. Immediately, the handsome little face turned pale on the ground. Then he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The servant is guilty!" The slave is guilty! Just now, I was in a hurry... No, didn't have time to ask... The one who cooks for His Majesty is the one in the dining room... The slave is guilty! Please punish Your Majesty and Niangniang! ”

"Hahahaha~ I don't blame you~ You get up~ Even if you don't ask, it's not hard for me~"

Yan Tianzi said with a smile, and at the same time, he was still a little ostentatious, and glanced at the beautiful woman who was looking at him. Immediately, he put the ivory chopsticks in his hand, and the piece of fresh and tender fish meat he picked up, and put it into his mouth and chewed it. After eating the piece of fish, he couldn't help but say slightly: "Hmm! This fish is very good~ The white-scaled tail fish in Yuanyi Lake in Yuanzhou, can be burned so well... In the dining room of this outer city, I am afraid that only Chef Mao can do it. But..."

Just got His Majesty's words, and got up in confession. While listening to His Majesty's words of eating the fish, his mind was slightly relaxed, but he also said with His Majesty's "but", and suddenly became nervous.

Shaking his head slightly, Yan Tianzi continued: "But this dish... Although the heat is good, the taste is still a little lacking. But the heat that comes out of this should be Chef Mao... According to Chef Mao's ability, when you shouldn't make this fish, the taste is slightly lacking... Could it be that Chef Mao is really old? ”

Bao'er listened carefully to every word His Majesty said, but she was also a little uneasy in her heart. From His Majesty's words, she could guess something... Your Majesty's ability to taste food is really unmatched. Once you've eaten it, you won't forget what it tastes like.

In addition to the fact that he was just on the way back, he was a little suspicious of His Majesty... The identity of a chef. It stands to reason that no matter how young the cook in the dining room is... It is impossible to have such a young head of the dining room. In addition, as His Majesty said just now, this dish looks like some kind of Mao chef made it. And the pair of Mao cooks are not too old to make this dish taste a little lacking... But he can also guess that the young man who cooks for His Majesty is definitely not the Mao chef that His Majesty said... But Your Majesty's Chrysostom can't be wrong... Since being able to eat this dish is related to Chef Mao, then the young man who cooks must have nothing to do with Chef Mao, who was mistaken for by His Majesty!

"Back to Your Majesty... Over there in the dining room, it seems that the preparation was too hasty... That's why the hour was delayed. Want... The dining room was not properly prepared, so that the food tasted...."

Seeing that His Majesty was slightly puzzled, Bao'er bowed down and whispered. But she couldn't help it, so she made His Majesty taste it, and the cooking man who was slightly lacking in the taste of the dish... Said good things.
