"Where did you get the alpaca meat?" asked Yan Ruoxi.

"There are no alpacas in the palace, the meat you just ate is an imitation, and you didn't taste it at all, which means that what this meat is, it doesn't matter to you at all, you just want to satisfy your appetite."

Looking up at Yan Ruoxi, Li Chuxia's eyes were full of helplessness, and he explained the ingredients of meat to Yan Ruoxi, but it was simply playing the piano to the cow.

"If you say it's not important, then it doesn't matter? It's my stomach, the pork is cold, the alpaca meat is hot, the two are fundamentally different, the palace is cold, you just want my life with pure heart. ”

Yan Ruoxi, who was wide-eyed with angry eyes, gritted her teeth and said this to Li Chuxia, she wanted to take the opportunity to stir up trouble, Li Chuxia looked at Yan Ruoxi and didn't refute much, Yan Ruoxi was angry all day long, can her liver be hot? It is estimated that the two wolfberries will have nose bleeding.

"Li Chuxia, what do you mean, Li Chuxia, is it the same for the emperor? In this way, you have deceived your superiors and subordinates, and you have neglected the grace of God. Yan Ruoxi saw that Li Chuxia was distracted, thinking that Li Chuxia was despising her, so she opened her mouth to scold angrily.

"Where did I deceive my superiors and subordinates? It's Concubine Yan, you are poor and extravagant, there are no alpacas in the palace at all, it is extremely difficult to find and expensive, and it is the hard-earned money of ordinary people, and they don't pay taxes to support you. ”

The people's money was squandered in Yan Ruoxi's hands, Li Chuxia couldn't stand it anymore, wrote her fists, and warned Yan Ruoxi with righteous words, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she could defend herself by the way.

"You...... Okay, you clever Li Chuxia, I want the emperor to come up and comment on the reasoning, see how you still quibble? Yan Ruoxi was waiting for Li Chuxia to refute, and Yan Ruoxi looked at Li Chuxia with a wicked smile.

This matter must be picked to Emperor Mingde, this is what Yan Ruoxi has been paying attention to today, she wants to borrow a knife to kill.

"I want to see what made my concubine angry?" Emperor Mingde walked inside and asked what happened, and Emperor Mingde came in with a smile on his face.

"Concubine, see the emperor." "The concubine is the emperor." Li Chuxia and Yan Ruoxi respectively saluted Emperor Mingde.

"Get up, when did you call me to come?" Emperor Mingde asked Yan Ruoxi suspiciously, Emperor Mingde is a rare kind face today.

As soon as he looked up, Li Chuxia saw that Baili Yunzheng also came with Emperor Mingde, and the stone in Li Chuxia's heart fell to the ground.

After finishing the salute, Yan Ruoxi's heart trembled, it was too bad, she didn't expect that Baili Yunzheng would also come, and now, today's plan is estimated to be in vain.

"Your Majesty, the concubine was originally cold, and she wanted the alpaca meat to be hot, but Li Chuxia replaced the alpaca meat with cold pork, she wanted to murder the concubine, and the concubine didn't know where to offend her, she usually didn't know how to fool the emperor, she was the crime of bullying the king."

The words were sincere, Yan Ruoxi was about to cry while talking, and the others were sad when they heard it, Yan Ruoxi carefully counted Li Chuxia's crimes, and the stakes seemed to be chiseled.

"Not to mention, is alpaca meat really able to replenish the body, mutton and beef are all hot things, which one to eat is not to eat? Alpacas are expensive and hard to find, and it is unclear whether this thing has medicinal properties when cooked. ”

His eyes flashed, making people's hearts chill, Baili Yunzheng swept Yan Ruoxi with this look, and Yan Ruoxi couldn't speak.

"Concubine Yan, I don't know if you're sick, why don't you find a doctor? You shouldn't be here, let us listen to you, don't you...... Is Concubine Yan deliberately embarrassed? ”

walked in and looked at Yan Ruoxi, Baili Yunzheng's tone was full of questions, debunking Yan Ruoxi's lies sentence by sentence, and throwing out questions to Yan Ruoxi one after another, but every word was sarcastic.

"Okay, okay, Concubine Yan, if you are sick, find the imperial doctor to show you, don't shy away from the disease, and don't believe in those home remedies, this is what you have to do wrong, apologize to Li Chuxia quickly."

With his jaw in his mouth slightly, Emperor Mingde looked at Yan Ruoxi with his eyes open, with a disappointed face, Emperor Mingde was clearly waiting for Yan Ruoxi to apologize to Li Chuxia, and Emperor Mingde unexpectedly stood on Li Chuxia's side this time.

Yan Ruoxi, who was originally attached to Emperor Mingde's life, could not disobey the emperor's order, and now Emperor Mingde has spoken, asking Yan Ruoxi to apologize, Yan Ruoxi can only compromise, and her face turns.

"I'm sorry, in early summer, it's all my fault, I believe in those hearsay, and now the emperor has a word, the concubine is really enlightened, the concubine, don't be confused anymore." Yan Ruoxi cried after speaking, with tears in her eyes, as if she had been wronged and humiliated.

It's night.

"Today is the annual fireworks festival, I have to dress up well, maybe I will become the master in one step." The ladies whispered to each other, each of whom took out their treasured headdresses and clothes.

Today is of great significance to them, the whole world celebrates, everyone can not wear palace clothes, and more importantly, at the same time as the twenty-four salutes are lifted into the air at the same time, Emperor Mingde will come out and have fun with the people.

In this way, those beautiful girls have a chance, and as a result, everyone is more enthusiastic about this activity.

The ladies and palace maids in the courtyard compete for beauty, and a hundred flowers bloom. The cooks and men in the back kitchen are also busy.

The things in the back kitchen were prepared in the first two days, and some pickled items, such as cured meat, had to be prepared two months in advance, and all the ingredients were ready this morning.

In the evening, the big guys began to work separately, and Li Chuxia's busiest task today had just begun, with ten dishes per table.

There are five meat dishes that are very exquisite, namely, East Lake lion head soup, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, roast chicken with oven, palm pearl, locust flower fish sticks, eight treasure rabbit silk, and the main food is a product of dragon beard noodles and golden small nest head.

The big guy looked at these dishes, smelled the taste and was already salivating, but they were all waiting for Emperor Mingde, after a while, Emperor Mingde sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and wanted to pick up the dishes, the big guys were waiting for Emperor Mingde to drop the chopsticks, but Emperor Mingde just didn't clip.

"Li Chuxia, these dishes have different forms and are not common, you can introduce them to everyone." It turned out that Emperor Mingde had never seen these dishes, and he didn't know how to put chopsticks, for fear of causing a joke.

"This is the East Lake lion head soup, and there is a big lion head in the soup, but the lion head inside has five layers of flavor, and the ingredients of each layer are different, and the texture and taste are different." Li Chuxia pointed to Tang Gu in front of him.

Listening to Li Chuxia's introduction of this soup, Emperor Mingde hurriedly asked his personal eunuch to fill a bowl, and dug a big ball with a spoon and put it in the bowl. When everyone saw Emperor Mingde move his chopsticks, they couldn't wait to start eating.

"The first layer of this lion's head is pork, which has a solid taste, and the inside is chicken with egg whites, which has a smooth taste, then the beef is tender and tender, and finally the mutton, wrapped in seafood soup, which is delicious and fragrant, and the final soup comes out, and the taste of the whole Tangguli is from clear to strong."

Li Chuxia looked at the way everyone was gobbling up, and a very satisfied expression appeared on his face.

"Next to it is the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, the shrimp meat is placed in the shape of dragon scales, and the chicken shredded is placed into the phoenix, and the mystery is in the sauce, which is red vinegar and ginger crushed to enhance the umami, and the garlic chili sauce is very spicy."

Li Chuxia introduced this dish, and there was no lack of "hiss" sound at the bottom, everyone was spicy by the sauce, and even drank water in a big gulp, and their faces were flushed.

"The next dish is a chicken roast in an oven, which is a small hand stove, and inside is chicken grilled with charcoal, sprinkled with cumin pepper noodles."

This dish is cooked by hand, baked and eaten, and the taste alone makes people salivate, and Emperor Mingde even took a big bite.

"This dish is the pearl of the palm, and the spicy duck is the red oil scallop on the palm; This dish is the locust flower fish sticks, the fish is delicious, the locust flower is sweet, the combination of the two, surprisingly winning. ”

Li Chuxia, who tirelessly reported the names of the dishes, was very happy, because these were the dishes she carefully made, and some people liked them, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Then there is the eight treasure rabbit shreds, which are pickled with eight kinds of side dishes, although there are only rabbit shreds on the plate, but you will taste the aroma of eight fruits and vegetables if you taste them carefully." This dish is time-consuming and laborious, and you can see Li Chuxia's love for food.

"The staple food is a bowl of dragon beard noodles boiled with seafood broth, which is extremely delicious, and the golden nest head is filled with milk, which is full of milk."

Everyone ate after the name of the dish reported by Li Chuxia, and when Li Chuxia finished reporting the dish, everyone was already on their stomachs, and then Li Chuxia sat down and began to eat.

"Hey, Yunguo is really a big country, and this kind of food is unheard of in our country." Several envoys from neighboring countries happened to be still there today, and when they saw Li Chuxia's cooking, they praised Emperor Mingde even more.

"Reward, hahaha, reward the kitchen with silver." Emperor Mingde was praised by these envoys, and he was so happy that he gave Li Chuxia and others a reward.

Baili Yunzheng, who was afraid that the food would be cold, hurriedly gave Li Chuxia a dish, and he finished eating when Li Chuxia introduced the dishes, Baili Yunzheng was used to eating quickly when he was on the battlefield, and at home, he fed the children while eating, so that he could wait for Li Chuxia.

Li Chuxia, who had just finished being busy, sat down to eat, she was also hungry enough, pulled the rice into her mouth, looked up and saw Baili Yunzheng looking at herself, so she rushed to Baili Yunzheng.

Li had just eaten enough in early summer.

After a while, the palace people raised a flag, and twenty-four fireworks rose into the air at the same time, each with a different color.

They represent the 24 solar terms respectively, all have a beautiful meaning, just lifted into the air like a disc, a while like a big tree, people watch, imagine, the scenery is spectacular, the colors are dazzling, so that the foreign envoys are amazed.

"It's a really beautiful scene, isn't it? Yun Zheng" Li Chuxia quietly stared at Baili Yun Zheng.

After watching this grand scene, Baili Yunzheng and Li Chuxia held hands and got into the carriage home.

was so tired, Li Chuxia fell asleep lying on Baili Yunzheng's shoulder, Baili Yunzheng looked at Li Chuxia's face and smiled, signaled the attendant to be lighter, and when he arrived at the door of the mansion, Baili Yunzheng carefully carried Li Chuxia back to the room.
