King Qi was originally in a bad mood, and was forced to take Liu Xi'er into the palace without saying anything, there was a faint smell lingering on Liu Xi'er's body, which made King Qi really unbearable.

Just now Liu Xi'er told him that he was going to change his clothes, and he agreed, and he dared to breathe a sigh of relief after Liu Xi'er walked away. Who knew that after only a while, Fang Yan's side was noisy, and King Qi looked up and saw that it was not Liu Xi'er who was kneeling on the ground and grabbing Fang Yan's sleeve and begging for mercy?

Listening to Fang Yan's words again, King Qi only felt that there was a wave of anger rising from the dantian and rushing straight to the Tianling Gai, but he didn't care about the emperor's presence, got up and rushed over without asking questions, picked up Liu Xi'er's shoulder, nodded to Fang Yan slightly, and dragged her back to her position. It's just that no one found that Liu Xi'er had a small sachet in her sleeve.

Princess Fangyan was coldly doused with wine, and she was naturally extremely angry, but her seniority was here, and no matter how much she wanted to kill this vulgar woman, she couldn't help but look at the face of the emperor's uncle, King Qi, otherwise the historians outside were likely to put a disrespectful hat on themselves, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

So she only glanced at Liu Xi'er's back fiercely, and then was accompanied by the palace maid to the apse to tidy up her appearance.

Besides, Liu Xi'er was rudely pulled back to her seat by King Qi, obviously in pain, but she didn't make a sound at all, kneeling in her position and bowing her head a little ashamedly, but the corners of her mouth were smiling triumphantly, she got the sachet she wanted, and now she is planning to push this pot on others, and the best candidates are, of course, those who are a pint of incense.

Many people have noticed the matter on Princess Fangyan's side, but the people present are all clever people, the emperor and the queen mother didn't say anything, and they naturally won't be this up-and-coming bird, who would offend the hot Princess Fangyan for a person who doesn't seem to be favored and has a bad reputation? Everyone drank as if it hadn't happened, drinking and talking.

"I watched the performances of the ladies just now, and sure enough, they have their own merits and good demeanor, and this scene of a hundred flowers competing for beauty is only available in our prosperous world!" The Queen Mother smiled and sighed, it was not that she didn't see Fang Cai's farce, it was just that the children were playing, if she made a move, she would lose face, it was better to say a few words to ease the atmosphere.

Everyone below stood up and saluted, bowed and said, "The queen mother is wise, the emperor is wise!" ”

"Queen Mother, it seems that there is still a noble girl who has not performed?" As soon as these words came out, everyone looked up at the source of this voice almost at the same time, and it was Liu Xi'er, who looked innocent beside King Qi.

King Qi's face was pale, and the hand that clamped her wrist increased with force, as if he wanted to crush these hands, and said angrily in a low voice: "Woman! What are you making trouble again! ”

Liu Xi'er endured the severe pain, tried to maintain her composure on her face, and repeated to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, there is still a noble girl who has not performed. ”

At this time, Jiang Xinyue understood, all the girls came to the stage to show their strengths, she has always been a boy's behavior, she can only dance with knives and guns, she has never learned to dance or music, and naturally she doesn't disdain these fat powder vulgar things, the only noble girl who has rank and no performance, isn't it herself?

She raised her eyebrows, and when things found her head, then the soldiers would cover up the water, and she would not let Liu Xi'er have a better time.

Although the Queen Mother, who was sitting in a high position, did not like this woman's behavior in her heart, she did not show it, and her face did not change: "Oh? Who is it? ”

"Lord Jingshu, Jiang Xinyue." Liu Xi'er almost gritted her teeth and said these words, not that she was too resentful, but that her wrist was hurt by King Qi's grasp, which was really unbearable.

"In that case, Yue'er, do you want to perform something?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly, then looked at Jiang Xinyue gently and asked what she meant.

"That's the moon..."Jiang Xinyue was also full of reluctance, she wanted to dance the sword for a while and then find a way to cure Liu Xi'er for a big disrespectful crime, but she didn't want a crisp voice to come from behind her: "Queen Mother, why don't you let the people's daughter perform instead of the county lord of Jingshu, the county lord's daughter is noble, and she doesn't have to work for such a thing in person." ”

It was Ruan Mianmian who spoke, she was sitting behind Jiang Xinyue today, and everyone outside knew that this Jingshu County Lord had a great relationship with Yipinxiang Restaurant, Ruan Mianmian seemed to them to be Jiang Xinyue's right-hand man, and there was really nothing wrong with her coming forward.

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Xinyue's expression, and knew that she agreed, so she nodded and said, "Then Miss Ruan will perform, I don't know what talent Miss Ruan wants to perform?" ”

"Mianmian's knowledge is crude, not as good as your young lady's Lan Xinhui, so she can only make everyone laugh and be ugly with her own little method." Ruan Mianmian smiled and got up and stepped forward, she was not a country and a city, but she was small and small, and she was not cute.

She said something to a few palace maids, and saw the palace maids turn around and go out, and after a while, they carried a few small tables and placed them in the center, and the tables were full of all kinds of delicate side dishes, and even dishes that no one had ever seen. Four tables are enclosed, and in the middle there is an open space where one person can sit, and there are also cushions.

Ruan Mianmian sat in the center and said softly: "Presumably, many people know that Mianmian is a food broadcast in Yipin Xiang Restaurant, but they have never seen how this food broadcast works. Today, I will perform a little bit, and it is not a tribute. ”

"Cut, isn't it just eating, what's so beautiful." Princess Fangyan, who came back from redressing, muttered quietly and wanted to say something, but was stopped by an eye knife from Concubine Lan who was sitting on it.

Concubine Lan sat on it, closest to the emperor, she naturally saw the emperor's expression more clearly, the emperor was full of interest now, if Fang Yan made disrespectful remarks, I was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy. Secretly scolded Fang Yan in her heart, this unsober woman, but she looked at Ruan Mianmian with the same expectation on her face as the emperor.

Ruan Mianmian's face did not change, and he smiled and fished out a plate of boiled beef pieces from the hot pot soup on the small table in front of him, and did not forget to speak with a series of movements in his hand: "Next, Mianmian will introduce to you the newly developed food of Yipinxiang, the raw materials are selected high-quality beef, and the auxiliary materials in front of you are also numerous,"

Ruan Mianmian paused and picked up a small tray with delicate cups of all kinds of powdered spices. "This is millet spicy from the south, it is a kind of red pepper with a smooth color, which is more spicy than ordinary peppers, this is the finely ground pepper brought out of the mountains, this is the fish meal made from the sea fish caught in the East China Sea, fresh and fragrant... This last one, which is the most important part of this dish, is the seasoning that was transmitted to the Central Plains from the Western Regions through Mobei, called cumin, which is also ground into powder and set aside. ”

Ruan Mianmian held the cuffs with one hand, revealing her hands and wrists that were as smooth as jade, and elegantly introduced these spices to everyone one by one.

Hearing this seasoning cumin from the Western Regions, the prince of Mobei and Zhu Engong were a little interested. Zhu En opened his mouth and said: "This cumin Mobei also has it, but it is all when cooking, put a little bit of it, and what can you do when grinding it into powder?" ”

Before Ruan Mianmian could speak, Princess Fangyan picked up the conversation, with a lot of sarcasm: "Yes, the small family is small, and I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the seasonings of the east and west, north and south are mixed together, can they be delicious?" I thought that Yipinxiang was the place of Zhong Ling, but that's it. ”

Fang Yan is just a child's heart, jealous that Jiang Xinyue, an outsider, suddenly occupied her position in the queen mother's heart and shared her favor, so she couldn't help but mock Jiang Xinyue for a while. Talking about Ruan Mianmian's small family, doesn't he mean Jiang Xinyue?

Princess Na Zhuen said with a bit of a straight face: "Princess Fangyan, don't talk nonsense, I'm just curious, and I don't mean anything else." Fang Yan snorted lightly, without arguing.

Their words did not affect Ruan Mianmian, I saw her skewer a few pieces of beef with bamboo skewers, sprinkle these seasonings on each piece of meat, and then show it to everyone: "Although these things come from different places, they can make the food very delicious and have a different flavor." ”

Ruan Mianmiandan's lips opened lightly, she took a bite of beef, and ate it unhurriedly, she was very particular about eating, and she didn't look rude or bulky. Some women look beautiful, but their facial expressions can't be perfect just when they eat, but she is different, her mouth is slightly pursed when she eats, her cheeks move with the rhythm of chewing lightly, and her upright body is a little more beautiful than sitting still, which is why Mu Ruqing noticed her at first sight.

A skewer of beef was eaten quickly, but Ruan Mianmian did not continue, but asked the palace maid to come forward and send the rest of Ruan Mianmian's untouched beef and the seasonings that had been divided a long time ago to the people present. The first to taste it must be the emperor and the queen mother, and the rest of the people also got their own shares according to the rank.

The emperor was already a little moved, he could guess that this might be Mu Ruqing's attention, after all, he had invented so many delicious things, and I heard that he had good cooking skills, and the things he made would definitely not be bad.

After eating a piece of meat according to Ruan Mianmian's method, the emperor's eyes lit up almost instantly: "This... I haven't eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and I think those things are not as delicious as this ordinary beef. ”

Hearing that the emperor gave such a high evaluation, everyone couldn't wait to taste it, and they all echoed the praise of Ruan Mianmian and Yipinxiang.

Princess Zhuen was also amazed, she didn't expect such an ordinary ingredient, and the beef that is almost every meal in Mobei is also so delicious, as if it integrates the characteristics of many ingredients in it. Prince Hemeng glanced at each other, she seemed to think that marrying into the Central Plains was really a good thing, there were so many surprises in a restaurant, what surprises were there in this vast Central Plains that had not been discovered?

There seem to be a lot of untimely voices today, and everyone is praising and tasting, but they hear another cold voice: "Is Miss Ruan really doing her best to eat and broadcast for Your Majesty and the Queen Mother?" ”

It's Liu Xi'er again! The people of Yipinxiang and the king of England all glared at Liu Xi'er angrily, and the disgust on their faces was self-evident.
