Lang Yue's words were clearly still prejudiced against Li Chuxia.

Lang Qi's eyebrows curled, obviously a little unhappy, but before he could speak, Lang Yue added, "Okay, I know what you're going to say, just let you pay attention to proportion, after all, that's Mrs. Baili." ”

What's more, there are already children under his knees, although it seems that the two of them have had some problems recently, but after all, the name is still there.

As a concubine, Lang Yue is not only herself, but also her relatives, including Lang Qi, are also quite concerned, as long as one is not careful, she is likely to be taken advantage of.

Hearing this, Lang Qi turned his head, glanced at Li Chuxia deeply, lowered his eyes and said, "I know...... Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”

Even so, Lang Yue still didn't believe it.

There was no way, she could only sigh lightly, and without saying anything more, she turned around and returned to Emperor Mingde's side.

Lang Qi also followed back to the arena, and when he turned his head to look at Li Chuxia again, he found that Baili Yunzheng didn't know when he would come back, and standing beside Li Chuxia, his smile was very dazzling.

He clenched his fists, he had always been able to grasp the measure, and he would definitely be able to now!

Thinking like this, Li Chuxia didn't know when he came over, "Why are you still stunned?" The games are all on. ”

"Huh?" Lang Qi raised his head suddenly, only to find that the people who came to participate in the competition had already begun to move their hands, and the sound of chopping vegetables kept intertwining.

"What are you thinking?" Li Chuxia looked at him, a face was pure and flawless, like a snow lotus blooming on the top of the mountain, a pair of watery eyes, as if the stars had been crushed and sprinkled in them, full of glowing beauty.

"No, maybe it's because I'm going to hold a cooking competition today, and I couldn't sleep with excitement last night, so I just had an early rest today." Lang Qi avoided her gaze, moved to the side quietly, and pulled a short distance from Li Chuxia.

Li Chuxia looked at Lang Qi, who was a little strange, with a complicated expression, and didn't ask anything more.

Now, as time goes on, the game is heating up.

Yan Ruoxi, who was sitting next to Emperor Mingde, tilted his body and picked on him with some displeasure, "Why is this place so stuffy?" ”

She was not interested in the dishes made by these ordinary people, so she ran out of patience early, and these dozens of stoves lit a fire together, and the smell of oil smoke and the heat of the open flame really made people a little uncomfortable.

Li Chuxia beckoned to the restaurant steward, and asked the steward to find ice cubes and fan the wind beside Yan Ruoxi, which was much cooler.

Yan Ruoxi didn't say anything more.

The game is in full swing.

More people rushed to this side, and when they looked up, they could see that a large place, which had been very empty, was crowded with people, and they kept looking towards the hearth inside the circle.

Yan Ruoxi looked at the crowd that was getting closer and closer to the encirclement, and said, "There are so many people here, Shopkeeper Li usually gives them benefits, right?" ”

Li Chuxia was patient and smiled slightly: "The winner is just a reward for a recipe." ”

"How can one recipe attract so many people?" Yan Ruoxi's willow-like thin eyebrows were raised slightly, and she looked disbelieving, "If the emperor rests for two days, I'm afraid that the hearts of the people in the entire Jiangbei will be collected by Shopkeeper Li, right?" ”

This mouthful of Li's shopkeeper, the yin and yang were so angry that Li Chuxia really couldn't stand it.

So, she simply gritted her teeth, looked up at Yan Ruoxi coldly, and chuckled: "Isn't Concubine Yan cursing the emperor for not protecting the country?" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Mingde's face turned gloomy, turned his head, and looked at Yan Ruoxi coldly.

Yan Ruoxi was a little anxious, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, the emperor, the concubine didn't mean that......"

Emperor Mingde did not change his gaze in the slightest because of her delicate words, and his tone was cold and rusty, "Just watch the game well, don't talk more." ”

In fact, Bu Shi was robbed of the limelight, and Emperor Mingde was also very uncomfortable, so he didn't say anything about Yan Ruoxi's sarcastic words, but he didn't expect that Li Chuxia would choke Yan Ruoxi with just one sentence.

"Yes." Yan Ruoxi responded in a low voice, looking obedient in front of Emperor Mingde, but when he turned his head and looked at Li Chuxia, his gaze was clearly ruthless, like a sharp blade quenched with poison.

Right now, Emperor Mingde's practice of blaming Yan Ruoxi for such a clear and secret protection was seen by Li Chuxia, and he also knew that Yan Ruoxi was most likely a puppet made by Emperor Mingde.

Poor Yan Ruoxi was used like this, and he didn't know it.

She snorted and turned her head, focusing on the contestant.

The sound of the collision of pots and pans was a little noisy, and the sound of the audience commenting was mixed, which seemed a little disorderly, she thought for a while, her eyes turned around the field several times, and finally fell on Qianya who was hiding in the corner, so she walked over, "Xiaoqian, you play a tune to mobilize the atmosphere." ”

Qianya's face was embarrassed, and the corner of her eyes secretly looked in the direction of Emperor Mingde, "No, ......"

Although she hasn't had time to enter the palace to face the saint, it seems that there are a lot of people brought by Emperor Mingde this time, in case any of the eunuchs and guards see her and recognize her, wouldn't it be ......

Thinking of this, her heart tightened and tightened.

Li Chuxia felt a little strange, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Looking a little pale. ”

"No ......" Qianya shook her head, "Sister Chuxia, I can't play ......"

"Why?" Li Chuxia seemed to see something, a pair of eyes stared at her directly, and approached her a little closer.

Qianya subconsciously took a step back, and unconsciously, her forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat, "I...... I'm not in a good place today, I can't play the song. ”

It can be seen that Xiaoqian seems to have something on her mind.

Since this is the case, Li Chuxia is no longer forced, and sighed softly, "Come to think of it, you returned to your hometown this time, you are tired from the journey, I don't blame you, you pay attention to rest." ”

Qianya breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she smiled and nodded again and again, "Okay, Sister Chuxia, thank you." ”

"Thanks for what." Li Chuxia smiled, and asked again uncertainly, "Are you sure you're okay?" If something happens, just tell me and I'll help you. ”

Qianya felt a little complicated in her heart.

Looking at the way Li Chuxia and Yan Ruoxi talked, it seemed that they had known each other for a long time. Right now, she has a special identity, and she can say it at will, but she is afraid that Li Chuxia will not keep herself.

So, she shook her head and said, "I'm fine." ”

"Hmm." Li Chuxia turned his eyes away, but it only took a while, and when he looked at Xiao Qian again, he found that he was no longer by his side, but found a more inconspicuous corner.

She frowned, but didn't pay much attention.

Soon, the contestants were ready to eat one by one.

After all, Emperor Mingde was here, and Li Chuxia still had to respect it, so he saluted slowly and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to taste it?" ”

Emperor Mingde looked at those contestants, most of them were coarse linen, and the fried dishes were definitely not as delicious as the palace chefs, so he waved his hand with some disgust, but there was a spring breeze smile on his face, "No need." ”

"Okay." Li Chuxia had already expected the result, "Well, the selection method is very simple, randomly invite the audience to taste it, and if you think it is delicious, you will stand in line behind the contestant." ”

After speaking, the audience was excited.

In fact, Li Chuxia had already arranged this random candidate, because the selection method of the competition was not public, and those who ate and drank mixed did not have time to prepare, so they easily selected the refugees, and after lining up one by one, they took turns to try the dishes of the contestants.

After a while, some people began to take sides.

Li Chuxia smiled with satisfaction, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Baili Yunzheng's gaze, and saw him with an approving smile, and a floating cloud also flew on his face.

That's when the change happened.

Suddenly, a refugee suddenly covered his stomach and began to roll on the ground, "Ahhh

"What's going on?" Li Chuxia paused, and was about to go up to check, but found that the other refugees also had abdominal pain.

For a while, most of the refugees fell down with their stomachs clutched, and even foamed at the mouth and convulsed, "This...... Poisonous in the dish! ”

All of a sudden, the audience panicked.

Baili Yunzheng's gaze swept over the contestants' faces, and then walked in front of Emperor Mingde, "Your Majesty, please also order the scene to be sealed off and the dishes to be thoroughly investigated." ”

Emperor Mingde glanced at Baili Yunzheng, he naturally understood what to do, so he waved his hand, and the guards around him did so, and the personal eunuch led a group of little eunuchs, checking one dish after another, and finally caught a person from the Western Regions.

The people of the Western Regions originally wanted to escape, but they were dragged by Baili Yunzheng, and during the struggle, they were kicked by Baili Yunzheng again and fell to the ground, but they saw that he pulled out a dagger out of nowhere, and the cold blade was attached to his face, "Hand over the antidote, otherwise, I will cut your throat." ”

"Don't, grandpa spares his life!"

The blade of Baili Yunzheng's knife had already touched the skin of the people of the Western Regions, cutting a slender blood mark, and the people of the Western Regions were trembling with fright.

After feeding the antidote to the refugees, the refugees' poisoning symptoms were somewhat better, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Ruoxi looked at it, but he was gloating, leaning towards Emperor Mingde's side, his voice was delicate, but it was a snake-like speech, "Fortunately, the emperor, you didn't try this dish, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable." I don't know if this shopkeeper Li held this competition, or if he really wanted the emperor to test the poison......"

Hearing this, Emperor Mingde shouted, "Li Chuxia, are you really going to harm me?" ”

Li Chuxia hurriedly knelt down and fell, "The emperor knows clearly, and early summer has no such intention." ”

Seeing this, Baili Yunzheng also knelt down, "Emperor Mingjian, he won't do such a thing in early summer, Weichen, you can guarantee your life." ”

Life?

Li Chuxia couldn't help but turn his head to look at Baili Yunzheng, but saw that his side face was gentle, and his serious appearance made it impossible to doubt his sincerity.

"Huh, life?" Yan Ruoxi sneered, "Your life, but you still have to keep it and kiss the princess of the Bhikshu Kingdom!" ”

At this time, Qianya, who was standing not far away, was stunned when she heard this.

Her and her relatives......

It turned out to be Baili Yunzheng?!
