Subsequently, Xiao Qiming ordered the voting results to be made public.

There was an uproar in the audience, and there were many unconvinced people clamoring to try again, but the royal majesty, how could anyone be presumptuous here?!

Haigong Gonggong sent Praetorian Guards to surround the people.

When Lin Mei first heard the first prize, she was happy and worried, she was afraid that someone would not accept the opportunity to make trouble, and sure enough, seeing that those people took the lead in making trouble and were surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, she frowned slightly, this good game was made like this, could it be that you still want to kill people? Isn't this a clear way to tell the world that there is something greasy in this game?

"Grandpa Hai, what are you doing here? We entered the palace to participate in the competition, since we have doubts about the results of the competition, can't we still ask? Even if it is above the court, the controversy of hundreds of officials, and the saint allows it, could it be that when he comes to the queen mother, he is like a domineering barbarian who does not explain? Still can't hear the last two sentences? That is to say, the title of "the world's first chef", don't do it, let's go, so as not to lose our lives for this. ”

"Presumptuous, the Queen Mother is extremely noble, how can you and others criticize the people? If you are not satisfied with the results of the game, you can consult the official, but why are you yelling here, if you disturb the queen mother's phoenix body, you will be a big crime of cutting off your head. Xiao Qiming was furious and immediately scolded him.

Xiao Qiming finally got such a beauty difference, naturally he didn't want to mess it up, followed by the fear of affecting Lin Mei, which finally won the first prize, seeing that the title of "the world's first chef" was at his fingertips, how could he let a few rat stir it up.

At this time, there was a sound outside, "The emperor has arrived".

All of them immediately knelt down, prostrate on the ground, Lin Mei lowered her eyes and knelt down.

At this time, the atmosphere was more dignified and majestic, and a few people who were arrogant and domineering just now all clamped their tails, for fear of being rude in front of the hall and losing their heads.

On the ground in winter, it was cold and biting, and after kneeling for a long time, no one shouted, is it different from what is played on TV? Lin Mei muttered in her heart, but she didn't dare to move.

It took about half a pillar of incense before the eunuch passed the decree for the emperor. Lin Mei was so angry that she didn't dare to be angry, but she didn't dare to speak, so she could only hold back her grievances and scold this evil hierarchy in her heart.

"The emperor dictated, the queen mother made a wise decision, after verification, the game is fair and just, reasonable and well-founded, anyone who participates in the competition today and does not win, a reward of fifty taels of silver, to encourage, everyone is not allowed to complain. The top five winners stayed, and the emperor had to meet them in person, and the rest of the idlers left the palace as soon as possible. Chin this! ”

Lin Mei was stunned: Stay? Isn't that still a matter of kneeling? While thinking, I thanked everyone with him.

After getting up, he secretly glanced around, didn't see Xiao Qiming, and said secretly: This emperor is also well-fed, he comes early and not late, but he only comes after the game is over, and he will really step on it. And said you want to meet in person? What's so good to see, isn't it all one nose and two eyes, could it be that he hasn't eaten, his heart is unbalanced, and he wants us to get him a new table?

The eunuch who announced the decree immediately waved his hand, and the Praetorian Guards rushed up, leading the so-called idlers and others to stride away.

"The emperor has an order, the chefs should come with me, and the other guys will stay and wait here." After the eunuch finished speaking, he turned to lead the way.

Lin Mei didn't want to be in the limelight anymore, so she fell last and lowered her eyes and entered Linxi Pavilion.

"My Emperor Sheng'an, long live, long live, long live!"

It was warm in the pavilion, Lin Mei knelt on the ground, felt a familiar gaze, and glanced at it with her afterglow, and the county lord of Jiaoyue was glancing at her.

With the emperor's "everyone flat", the five chefs dared to get up from the ground, pestle like a stake, and let the nobles look at them.

"The Queen Mother loves the people like a son, and is willing to celebrate with the people, so she proposed to hold a cooking competition, but I heard that there were people who were not convinced by today's competition, and almost shocked the Queen Mother's phoenix body, which is really a big rebellion. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's mercy to intercede for those people and give them a reward, I would have punished them heavily. Since this competition has been controversial, I decided that the competition the day after tomorrow will be judged by hundreds of officials, which is always fair, just and open, without the slightest partiality, and so that everyone can be convinced. The emperor said righteously.

The majesty of the tone made several chefs feel a surge in their hearts, and they were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground. "The grass people are frightened and dare not discuss, but the emperor is in charge."

Yes, I have to kneel again, but fortunately, Lin Mei reacted quickly, anyway, she made up her mind, with the four of them, as long as they get up, they will kneel, they will kneel.

Let the hundred officials judge, this is the meaning of the concubine, although I don't know what tricks she is playing, the queen does not want to let her take advantage of it, and smiles faintly: "Back to the emperor, it is fair and just for the hundred officials to judge, but how to judge this, there must be a charter." Take this Tianxiang sea cucumber as an example, there is only one sea cucumber on the plate, the concubine is blessed, and the concubines still have difficulties, not to mention the hundred officials? ”

Concubine Shu was stunned, she didn't expect her to talk about this, her eyes were shy in an instant, and her lips smiled, "The queen mother misunderstood, the concubine was looking at the only dish that no one moved, thinking that it would be fair, and it must be for people to taste it, but I didn't expect the queen to keep it in mind." ”

These two people are swords, fighting for favor, it's just that, they actually talk about dishes, isn't this a disaster for the chef? Lin Mei hung her head, not daring to look around, trying to reduce her sense of presence.

Before the queen could answer, Princess Xianyi stood up: "Concubine Niangniang, don't wronged the queen's mother, and let the mother know that it was my father who took a fancy to that dish first, but my father took the lead, and my father just said it to the queen's mother: It's a pity that there are a few dishes that are too small and I haven't tasted a bite." ”

"Why didn't Sister Xianyi say it earlier, the emperor knew that before the concubine entered the palace, she had been living in Jiangnan, and she also liked seafood in this diet. If Sister Xianyi told her in advance, the concubine would not take away her sister's favor. Besides, Sister Xianyi is afraid that the portion is too small, not enough to share with hundreds of officials, what is so difficult about this, let them make a few more portions the day after tomorrow, what does the emperor think? Concubine Shu smiled.

"What Concubine Ai said is very true." The emperor smiled with satisfaction.

Lin Mei was surprised: Concubine Shu is really favored, the wind blowing on the pillow is really strong, no wonder she can hold this game with the Queen Mother.

"I heard that Concubine Shu is very popular at home, and she must have never even entered the kitchen, otherwise she doesn't know that this is a serving, and a few servings, the time required is different, although it only takes an hour to make three dishes today, but to make each dish a few more servings, an hour, I'm afraid it is not enough. Even the dozens of imperial chefs in the imperial dining room have done enough work two days in advance, let alone relying on the five of them. The county lord of Kyaukyue, who had been silent, stepped forward and said a fair word for the chefs.

As soon as she spoke, the other concubines and ladies immediately began to discuss.

The emperor cast a fiery gaze at her, if Lin Mei looked up at this time, she would definitely know that the relationship between the two of them was extraordinary, there were some unspeakable secrets, and the fiery gaze, flashing with male instinct, was all confessing to the woman.

The county lord of Jiaoyue seemed to be accustomed to it, as if he hadn't seen it, he retreated to the queen mother's side as if nothing happened.

"What my cousin said is very reasonable, since this is the case, then the five of them will live in the palace temporarily, and they will start preparing tomorrow, and it will not be too late to leave the palace after the game is over at noon the day after tomorrow."

After speaking, he turned his head and said to the county lord of Jiaoyue: "My cousin may not have been in the palace to accompany the queen mother for a long time, so it is better to stay with the queen mother this time, accompany the queen mother well, and do some filial piety." ”

The emperor has spoken, who dares to discuss?
