Chapter 22: An Unexpected Tasting

Listening to Lan Hanxian's instructions, Zhong Lijun naturally didn't make any immediate moves, he hesitated, although he understood what Lan Hanxian meant, but did he really want to send these things to the princess of that kingdom......

"Prime Minister, these are what the palace gave to the old lady last time, if you give these things directly to the princess, wouldn't it be against the meaning of the palace?"

Lan Hanxian once again wrote the word "read" on the paperwork, and then said: "Just do what I say, find it, and send it to the main hall now." ”

Lan Hanxian's words fell, but Zhong Lijun still didn't move, he just studied the ink like this to express his protest.

"What, it's not over?" Lan Hanxian finally asked.

Zhong Lijun said aggrievedly: "But Prime Minister, if this is known by the palace, how bad it is, besides, if the old lady knows, she will definitely be unhappy." ”

"Since I let you go, you can go. Lan Hanxian said in a heavy voice.

The first time he heard Lan Hanxian say this, Zhong Lijun was still a little surprised, but he could only put down the ink stick in his hand and walked out of the room reluctantly.

Lan Hanxian secretly raised his head, looked at the back of Zhong Lijun who walked out, and sighed helplessly.

Zhong Lijun closed the door of the room, and the guards standing on both sides outside also hurriedly said, "Hello Lord Zhong." ”

Zhong Lijun habitually didn't say anything, he walked towards the front, he had a black face, what he was going to now was the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but not long after he walked out, he was attracted by a scent.

He looked in the direction of the sound, and the smell seemed to be coming from the kitchen.

He squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully, what he ordered the kitchen to make today were all ordinary meals that the prime minister usually ate, and he didn't ask for any other special meals, so why did this fragrance come out of the kitchen, could it be that someone was secretly cooking the dishes that his subordinates wanted to eat at this time?

Zhong Lijun's brain was hot, and he just had nowhere to vent his anger, so he hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.

Along the way, looking at this angry Zhong Lijun, the servants hurriedly got out of the way, for fear of provoking this Zhong Lijun.

Soon, he walked to the door of the kitchen, where the smell was even stronger, and he didn't care about anything now, so he walked straight into the kitchen, and what he wanted to do now was to catch a wrongdoer and scold him.

Seeing that it was Zhong Lijun who walked into the kitchen, the kitchen steward hurriedly greeted him, and the sweat on his head didn't know if it was too hot or nervous.

"Master Zhong, why are you here!" the steward hurriedly said with a smile on his face at this time.

Zhong Lijun made a straight face, and he looked at the person in front of him: "Where did this fragrance come from?"

The steward hurriedly said: "Lord Zhong, this fragrance comes from the pastries made by that princess, don't really say it, the princess's craftsmanship is not bad." ”

Listening to the steward's words, Zhong Lijun only remembered at this time that An Xuexin, the princess of An Nanguo, was also making pastries in the kitchen at this time, and he didn't expect that it would be her.

"Take me over and see what she can do. Zhong Lijun said, his tone was very bad.

"Yes!" the steward could only agree, although he didn't know what the princess had done to make Zhong Lijun so angry.

In this way, the steward took Zhong Lijun and walked in the direction of the princess's stove.

In the kitchen, seeing that Zhong Lijun was coming, everyone began to concentrate on the work in hand, and they didn't dare to take a second look.

Zhong Lijun followed the steward to An Xuexin's stove with a vigorous attitude, and the attendants of the stove he passed by were also in a cold sweat, in front of Zhong Lijun, but if he was not careful, he would be easily dragged out and beaten, and he would be seriously injured at least or directly killed.

Ling Xiaoxiang was the first to realize that Zhong Lijun was coming, and she hurriedly said with a smile: "Lord Zhong, you are here." ”

An Xuexin also reacted at this time, she looked behind her, and also smiled at Zhong Lijun: "Lord Zhong, why are you here." ”

But Zhong Lijun still had a straight face, if an ordinary servant did his own things without permission at this time that was not the stipulated time, he could already drag the person in front of him down and beat him.

"I'll see if you can make something that can make a scent. Zhong Lijun's words were still very heavy.

Ling Xiaoxiang hurriedly picked up a freshly made pastry placed in the porcelain basin, which was no longer hot.

She took two steps forward, then stretched out her hand to Zhong Lijun, and said to the man in front of her with a smile: "Lord Zhong, you try it, this is our special pastry of An Nanguo, and there is no other place where this craft can be made." ”

Looking at the pastry that Ling Xiaoxiang was holding in front of him, Zhong Lijun hesitated, but now that the princess was there, he still took the pastry.

An Xuexin didn't look at the two of them again, but cautiously continued to make her own pastries.

Zhong Lijun glanced at the pastry in his hand, he was a little puzzled, and repeatedly confirmed the pastry, and after confirming that it was edible, he put it to his mouth and took a bite.

Suddenly, the fragrance seemed to spread from his mouth to his whole body.

The pastry was glutinous, very lubricated in his mouth, like a drop of water, stimulating his every taste bud, and the bite he took was quickly eaten by him.

Immediately afterward, he took another bite.

He had never eaten such a pastry before, and it made him seem to fall in love with it at once.

But he still pretended to be calm, he originally wanted to throw the pastry on the ground in front of Ling Xiaoxiang, but he was a little reluctant, and finally ate a whole piece of pastry.

"How is it?" Looking at Zhong Lijun, whose expression had not changed at all, Ling Xiaoxiang hurriedly asked.

Zhong Lijun frowned slightly, which made Ling Xiaoxiang's heart nervous, only to see Zhong Lijun say: "It's okay, but don't make any small moves for me in this pastry." ”

"Yes, Lady Chung. Ling Xiaoxiang hurriedly agreed.

Zhong Lijun pretended to cough, and then said, "You remember, when you send it to the prime minister later, it will be divided into two plates." ”

Hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiang was a little confused: "Two plates?"

"Yes, don't ask too much. After saying that, Zhong Lijun turned around and walked out.

The steward glanced at the two women in front of him, and hurriedly followed.
