Chapter 80: Keju Conference
Because of the help of the second prince, the matter of finding ingredients was quickly solved, and now Li Chuxia is busy preparing the ingredients needed to deliver the required ingredients on the day of the Keju Conference, and he is also cooperating with the largest pastry shop in the capital that he has cooperated with before, Guiyuefang.
Li Chuxia did not dare to disobey the emperor's order in person, and after a few days of grace, he was also trapped in the palace wall by the emperor's order, and just left from the emperor, and was called to the queen by the eunuch next to the queen. The queen had Baili Qiaoer and Baili Yunzheng there, and the three of them got together as soon as they learned the news that the emperor wanted to take a concubine, and Li Chuxia made it clear to the queen that he didn't want to enter the palace.
Li Chuxia had the help of the second prince, and the ingredients were found quickly, so he also trained a group of people, and when the time came, he was ready to cook on the spot at the Keju Conference, and when the time came, the ingredients would be very fresh.
And with the cooperation of Guiyuefang, the pastries sent up will be freshly baked, the taste will be very good, and everything will be arranged very well, because I am afraid that if something goes wrong, it will be a big crime to kill the head.
Everything is done by himself, Li Chuxia is afraid that those under his hands will do something wrong, and the first person to be held accountable is himself.
"Finally, don't use this shape for the flower pressed by this pastry, but use round lace, and then it will be more appropriate to look at the Keju Conference."
Li Chuxia and the boss of Guiyuefang were discussing what kind of tricks should be used to send the pastries to the banquet at that time, and they didn't know themselves at all, so they asked the second prince for help, and this matter was passed on by some people.
"I didn't expect that vixen to be so powerful, and he followed the second prince to help."
Concubine Jiang hated it so much, but she didn't expect this woman to be so powerful, and she went to hook up with the second prince in a short period of time.
At present, the second prince has not yet established a concubine, and his side concubine may be a concubine by then, but now this flying stomach has not yet landed, and a fox spirit is going to come in, and if this fox spirit becomes a genuine princess, it may be.
"I didn't expect this woman to be so good that she could go to the second prince for help again, and the second prince is now helping her with this." Su Yuelan didn't expect that Li Chuxia would also look for the help of the second prince again, and now that everyone has learned about Li Chuxia and the second prince hooking up, I am afraid that this is to arouse everyone's jealousy.
"We have to think of a way to deal with this vixen, but in just two days, she hooked up with the second prince again, and this vixen can't let her enter the second prince's mansion."
The other woman was also very angry at this time, pinching the handkerchief in her hand, of course, she didn't want another rival in love to come in and take away the favor of the second prince.
"I think it's going to be the Keju Conference in the next few days, and when the time comes, we have to do something at the Keju Conference, after all, there will be the emperor and the queen here, and if anything goes wrong, she will be able to escape death."
Concubine Jiang is now burning with anger in her eyes, and now only this method can make this woman not make mistakes in the public, and she is in the position of being given death by the emperor.
"Let's discuss the countermeasures...... "Su Yuelan was naturally proud in her heart at this time, knowing that the early summer here could be regarded as a suicide road.
On the third day, the Keju Conference officially began, and many officials brought their families to the Keju Conference, and many women in the boudoir were invited to be divided into women's groups to participate in the Kemari.
And many men were originally reluctant to participate in the officialdom now, but because it was the emperor and the Keju Conference held by General Baili, they could only bite the bullet.
Although Chu Yunxiao didn't go to help Li Chuxia's restaurant in the past few days, because he was divided into a women's group at the Keju Conference, he practiced Keju in the courtyard of his home for the past few days, so he couldn't lose the face of his prime minister's mansion, and he still had to fight against Su Yuelan at that time.
"I was so nervous in the early summer, I wasn't very good at juju, but now I can't help it."
Chu Yunxiao's face was flushed at this time, originally she didn't want to participate in this keju, but she was named to let herself play.
"It's okay, you just have to play it, it doesn't matter if you don't play well, you don't know how to do it, and others won't laugh at you." Li Chuxia was busy making pastries in his hands, and seeing that his good sister was anxious, he had no choice but to comfort him.
Chu Yunxiao nodded, thinking in his heart that he wouldn't have been, but now it's just a matter of catching ducks on the shelves, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't play well.
At this time, the Keju Conference was busy doing all kinds of things, Li Chuxia was busy making pastries and snacks in the back kitchen at this time, and Baili Yunzheng, as the planner of the Keju Conference, was just busy with various venue layouts in front of him at this time.
Su Yuelan sat very close to the concubines in the Second Prince's Mansion this time, because everyone was named to participate in Keju, so at this time, a few more people were allies, so now they were discussing whether the people under their hands had done it well.
And the emperor and queen, who were sitting on the high platform, also happened to look at the layout of the Keju conference at this time, plus the officials and relatives of each family were also sitting in their respective camps, but sighed, this Keju conference was well prepared.
"I think General Baili has prepared very well for this Keju Conference, at least much better than the people in our palace in previous years."
The queen was very suitable to praise Baili Yunzheng by the emperor's side, but at this time, Concubine Ling also sat next to her and spoke.
"Naturally, it's just because I received the emperor's order and did my part well." Baili Qiaoer also knows that her Baili family is now on the cusp, and she also knows that the emperor has some scruples about the Baili family, and it is not easy to go now, because a little thing will invite credit.
Mu Jing glanced at Concubine Ling, who was sitting on his right, and just nodded lightly, and then did not speak.
It doesn't matter whether Baili Yunzheng's preparations for the Keju Conference this time are good or not, because this matter is not his main purpose, the most important thing is to see which side the ministers in the officialdom are on.
Because he was the planner of the Keju Conference, Baili Yunzheng originally did not plan to participate in this Keju, but because there were not many officials in the court who could participate in Keju.
Even his own son or daughter was on the field of the Keju competition, and Baili Yunzheng had no choice but to participate in this Keju competition because there were few people in the man's team.
Because it is a Keju competition, so before the official start of a large number of palace maids danced a dance, those palace maids are slender, wearing particularly long water sleeves, and then watching those palace maids in the center of the venue to show their slender posture, the soft waist dancing with a variety of water sleeves, looks very spectacular.
The ministers were also watching those palace maids dance, but they felt that those palace maids were in good shape, and all of them had straight eyes, and even the emperor was attracted by one or two of the palace maids at this moment.
After a palace maid finished the opening dance, a person who looked like a eunuch walked to the center of the venue and shouted to everyone: "The Keju Contest has officially begun!" ”
Because it is a women's juju, it is played as the first half, and many women are wearing relatively simple clothes and preparing to play, and they have tied cloth belts on their hands, so that the clothes do not have so many obstacles, at this time, as the leader of the two parties, Chu Yunxiao led the women of the first team and played against Su Yuelan, the captain of the other team.
Everyone in the noble circle in the capital knows that Chu Yunxiao and Su Yuelan have always been not quite right, after all, their personalities are very different, and Su Yuelan often looks for troubles with many noble girls in the capital, but Su Yuelan has always been wrong with Chu Yunxiao for some reason.
Even in today's Keju competition, two women each brought a team to start the competition.
A woven juju ball was placed in the middle of the two teams, and then Chu Yunxiao stared at the ball and looked at Su Yuelan on the opposite side, feeling a little bottomless in his heart, he had always known that Su Yuelan had a strong personality and was good at camouflage, and he also knew that Su Yuelan's Keju seemed to be much better than herself, but now she has some pressure.
"Let's go!"
With the order, the women of both teams rushed forward and grabbed a ball with their feet, and the women of both teams rushed forward to chase the woven ball like a lion dance, and all the women went up to chase the ball that was kicking around on the field.
Everyone sat in the audience with great interest, watching the group of women grab the ball, and Chu Yunxiao at this time was a little stressed, after all, the situation at this time was very serious, he had never touched the ball, and it was Su Yuelan who was kicking the ball.
Just when he was a little uncomfortable in his heart, he was about to go up to grab the ball, but Chu Yunxiao was suddenly startled by Su Yuelan's feint, and as a result, Su Yuelan fell to the ground.
"Stop!"
As a eunuch of the referee, he hurriedly rushed to the field with a sign at this time, and then sentenced Chu Yunxiao to a foul.
At this time, Chu Yun Xiaohong's face stared at the eunuch and began to explain.
"Princess! I didn't even touch her, she fell on her own. ”
Chu Yunxiao just explained this, but the father-in-law who was the referee didn't listen to her at all.
Then Chu Yunxiao was sent off because of a foul, and Su Yuelan sat on the ground and got up after being comforted and continued to play.
Li Chuxia, as a member of the women's team, is now invited to play as a substitute, and the pastries are ready, so she is also on the list as a substitute, and now she is going to replace Chu Yunxiao.
