Chapter 245: Drizzle and Ice
"Looking at the drizzle in front of me, my culinary attainments seem to have gone further!"
"Ding, the host can develop its own food!"
"If you have it, it's better to name it Drizzle and Ice!"
"Just do it, Gan!"
"Divine decree?" Someone immediately exclaimed, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone.
But immediately, the brilliant holy decree in the hands of the black-robed man bloomed with a domineering aura, exclusive to the aura of the Ninety-Five Venerable!
"Long live my emperor!"
When everyone saw the majestic imperial power that bloomed, they immediately did not dare to slack off, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting in awe.
And only Su Chen in the audience was still stunned, stunned and unresponsive.
Seeing this, Cheng Song on the side hurriedly pulled the corner of Su Chen's clothes slightly as a reminder.
And Su Chen looked confused, thinking to himself how you say kneel, kneel, even if there is a mighty emperor, can't it be faked?
"What? When Lord Su saw the holy decree, didn't he need to kneel down to show his sincerity? The black-robed man turned his head and said playfully with the holy decree, his voice made Su Chen feel very familiar.
The black-robed man took off his mask, and after turning around, Su Chen saw the man's face clearly.
Let's just say that I am very familiar, it turns out that this person is the chief eunuch in the palace, and the emperor's personal guard eunuch, Li Yingshuang and Li Gonggong.
"Master Su, don't come unharmed!" Li Yingshuang's eyebrows that seemed to be lying on a layer of frost were very eye-catching, and when he saw Su Chen's stunned face, he said with a smile.
"It turned out to be Gonggong Li, don't come unharmed, long live my emperor!" When Su Chen saw it, he hurriedly put on a smile, immediately knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict, said: Recently, the crisp beauty suddenly disappeared, I was very worried, I can't eat every day, but I heard that Su Aiqing's food is well-known throughout the country, and now I immediately prepared more than 100 copies for me and personally sent them to the palace to relieve my worries!"
Then, Gonggong Li read the contents of the holy decree aloud in a sharp voice, "Master Su, can you accept the decree?" ”
"Su Chen takes the order!" After Su Chen said respectfully, he stretched out his hand and took the holy decree.
"Everyone, get up!" Li Gong is fair.
"Emperor Xie!" Everyone said in unison.
"Huh? Father-in-law Li, wait, who is this crispy beauty? Su Chen immediately showed doubts, and whispered in Li Yingshuang's ear, and he clearly remembered that there was no such a concubine in the harem.
"Ahem, the crisp beauty was a few days ago, Lord Su, you paid tribute to the emperor, and she was named a crisp beauty by the emperor a few days ago, but after the third day after your dedication, the crisp beauty disappeared mysteriously, which caused the emperor to sleep and eat."
Li Yingshuang also attached her ears to Su Chen, and her complexion changed slightly.
"Oh? I see, what is the reason for the father-in-law? Su Chen asked tentatively.
"I don't know, now all over the capital are looking for crisp beauties, can you know the whereabouts of crispy beauties?"
"I don't know, since that's the case, I have to wait and see what happens."
Then, Su Chen picked up a roasted chicken wing and asked respectfully: "Gonggong Li, my roasted chicken wings are very delicious, I think you must have understood it, I don't know which cumin flavor or spicy flavor you like?" ”
"It's spicy." Li Yingshuang said slightly.
Immediately, Su Chen handed a string of spicy grilled chicken wings to Li Yingshuang's hand, and smiled slightly, "Gonggong Li, the emperor still needs a few kind words from you." ”
"That's not a problem." Li Yingshuang nodded, took the chicken wings and took a big sip.
And Su Chen's words implied a lot of special charm, and at the same time, he also cleverly responded to Li Yingshuang's intention to woo him.
The meaning is very simple, anyway, if you say a few more kind words for me in front of the emperor, I will join the strength of your side, everyone takes what they need, and it is okay to have nothing to do with each other.
"It's delicious, it's delicious." Li Yingshuang, who was feasting on grilled chicken wings, suddenly exclaimed, gave Su Chen a thumbs up, and praised.
"Does Grandpa Li have a feeling of being as light as a swallow?" Su Chen asked.
"Of course there is, and it's amazing, I'm afraid it's not a problem to get to the clouds!" Li Yingshuang smiled, but the smile was a little cloudy in Su Chen's eyes.
"Okay, Master Su, I still have some important things to deal with, so I won't stay for a long time, but you need to go back to the palace before tomorrow!"
"Okay, congratulations to Grandpa Li." Su Chen bowed his hand and said respectfully.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, Li Yingshuang waved his hand, and suddenly turned into a streamer and flashed out of the inn in the blink of an eye.
"Whew, I'm finally gone." Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief after Li Yingshuang left.
Previously, he used his three-grade golden eyes to probe Li Yingshuang, and found that this person was not simple, and with his strength, he couldn't see this person's combat power and realm clearly, and could only show a series of question marks.
It shows that this Li Yingshuang's strength must be at least a wing-building above Feixi, but for some reason, this person deliberately concealed his strength and never made a move!
After Li Yingshuang left, Su Chen continued to sell in the inn, and then prepared more than 100 copies of Snow King Shaved Ice and Snow King Ice Drink and Roasted Chicken Wings, intending to send them to the palace in person according to the emperor's holy decree.
"Jiang Sheng, I can go back to Beijing alone this time, you can manage the sales of food with Cheng Song here first, if there is anything urgent, I will rush back immediately." Su Chen said before leaving.
"No." Jiang Sheng responded.
Immediately, Su Chen took advantage of the daytime and quickly rushed back to the capital through the teleportation array.
After returning to the capital, Su Chen did not slack off, and immediately rushed to the palace.
"Stop coming, it's not the early morning time, no one is allowed to enter!"
The two guards of the Xiudan period stood proudly at the gate of the palace and said indifferently.
"Special mother, I didn't see it was Lao Tzu!"
Su Chen looked at it, but he didn't expect these two people to be very familiar, it turned out to be Jiang Sheng's subordinates, and he immediately scolded, and he was a big-eared person when he went up.
"Oh, oh, it turned out to be Master Su, his subordinates were clumsy, clumsy......" The guard who was beaten immediately smiled bitterly, with an apologetic face, and got out of the way with another guard.
"It's just that the adult dress is so special that the subordinates didn't ......recognize it for a while," the guard added.
"Hmph, it's obviously good, what kind of vision? Watch out next time! Su Chen lowered his head and saw that he was still wearing a pink Hello Kitty pajamas.
However, Su Chen said that, and rushed to the harem without stopping.
When I came to the gate of the harem, I saw that the palace gate was locked, and there was no one to guard it, and it was deserted.
"What's going on, what's going on today?" Seeing this, Su Chen showed a hint of suspicion.
Although he is now in response to the edict to enter the palace, but the palace door is closed, no one around, if he directly climbs over the wall to enter, it is not good that he will fall for the trick of Nalan Yande's old dog, and he will even be detained for trespassing in the harem and attempting to kill the king and rebel.
"No, I have to go another way."
Immediately, Su Chen changed his path and looked for a way to enter the palace.
......
"Let's go, today's incomparably beautiful Concubine Shu is holding the annual poetry conference on the shore of Jingxin Lake."
"I heard that whoever comes can read a poem will be rewarded with two gold ingots!"
"It doesn't matter what gold is or not, it's mainly to be able to take a look at Concubine Shugui, and there will be no regrets in this life."
On the shore of the lake, the lake is green and beautiful, sparkling, the water color and the sky are reflected, and the little frost on the lake seems to be embellished with a thin layer of brocade for the lake.
There is a jade bridge with nine twists and turns on the lake, leading to an elegant and fresh garden, where the Shuguifei held a duet meeting, and it is also the place where the Shuguifei took refuge from the cold.
Then, Su Chen followed the movement and came all the way to the periphery of the harem, leading to the place by the Meditation Lake.
"Stop, please show your invitation!"
The one who opened her mouth to block Su Chen's way to the shore of Jingxin Lake was a young and beautiful palace maid, and there were several young scholars and several palace guards standing beside her.
"What invitation? This official came to the palace at the emperor's call, and still needs an invitation? Su Chen asked suspiciously.
"Hmph, it's another guy who didn't have an invitation and tried to sneak in and see Concubine Shu's face, on the guard!" The young palace maid looked a little arrogant, and immediately ordered the guards to drive Su Chen away.
"Yes!" The two guards answered, and immediately stepped forward to drive Su Chen away.
"Hey, don't mess around, I really came at the emperor's call." Su Chen immediately shouted while retreating, he didn't want to make a move, otherwise the two first-order guards of the Cultivation Dan would have flown out a long time ago.
However, the two janissaries did not listen, and kept pressing on them step by step.
"Hey, hey, what do you think I'm going to do to get the invitation?" Su Chen immediately bypassed the two guards directly and asked the palace maid.
"The invitation was sent out by Concubine Shugui, as long as there is an official above the sixth grade, you don't even have six grades, and you are embarrassed to say that the emperor ordered you to enter the palace?" The palace maid sneered and said.
After hearing this, Su Chen showed a helpless smile, "Sure enough, it's the frog at the bottom of the well, even I don't know it?" ”
"Hmph, I don't care, in short, you can't go in without an invitation, if you want to get the invitation again, you need to answer the two questions on this pillar, if you are all right, you can enter, and you will be a guest of honor on the shore of the lake of meditation forever, and you will also enjoy the right to enter the lake of meditation at any time."
The young palace maid pursed her lips, snorted coldly, and then pointed to the pillar behind her.
On the pillars are two plaques covered with red cloths.
"Okay, answer and answer!" Su Chen said decisively.
"This is what you said, the topic was set by Concubine Shu herself, if you fail, even if you take out the invitation again, you can't go in again."
"Come on!"
"Bell!"
Seeing that Su Chen was so decisive, a hint of admiration quickly flashed in the palace maid's eyes, and she immediately picked up the gong and drum on the side and knocked it a few times.
"Look, look, someone is going to break through the problem set by Concubine Shu!"
"Hmph, another guy who can't do anything about himself!"
"That is, since the year before last, the famous genius, Wang Xun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites of the Fourth Grade, failed, no one dared to challenge."
"Who is this person, it looks a little raw!"
"Silly 13, you guys, this is obviously Su Chen, Lord Su, haven't you ever gone to Xuzhou County to buy his food?"
"Damn, it's really him, I didn't expect him to bring an invitation, and he came to break through."
"Nonsense, people have been in Xuzhou County before, how to get the invitation."
"Hmph, so what, this person is young after all, even if he has a unique skill in food, it doesn't mean that he must have known people and can pass this level!"
"I also think that young people are young and too confident."
After hearing the sound of gongs and drums, some officials around immediately came to watch with a curious face, and at the same time there was a lot of noise.
"If you don't write the correct answer to this question within ten breaths, you will fail." The palace maid said indifferently.
"Hmph, a bunch of idiots have opened your eyes for me." Su Chen snorted coldly and directly lifted the red cloth of the first plaque.
"Excuse me, there were nine birds in the tree, and one was hunted, but how many are left?"
After reading the title, Su Chen is almost happy, and Emma's topic is too simple, I'm afraid even kindergarten children can't be difficult!
"What! How can the title be so simple? ”
"Even if I had known in advance that it was so simple, I would have answered it too!"
Seeing the title, the onlookers all showed shocked looks.
"Hey, this year's topic is surprisingly simple, there are nine birds on this tree, and if you hunt one, won't there be only eight left?"
"Yes, yes, this question tests the formal addition and subtraction ability of our waiting, but it's too simple."
Immediately, the people around him were talking loudly, which made Su Chen feel funny.
"What a bunch of idiots, no wonder the national strength of the dynasty has been declining recently, it turns out that you are a group of idiots!" Su Chen sneered, shook his head with a smile, and looked teasing.
"What? You repeat? ”
"Hmph, that's bold, isn't it just a hereditary guy? Without your father, you wouldn't know where to play in the mud now! ”
"Arrogant, write your answer and let us open our eyes!"
"In that case, keep your dog's eyes open and see clearly, and you will go out without a brain!" Su Chen let out a deep sigh, and immediately carved the answer on the plaque with his sword!
"Not a single one!"
"Nothing? Do you write such an answer? ”
"That's it, I'm embarrassed to mock me for being stupid, I'm afraid you are."
"That's right, even if the answer I'm waiting for is incorrect, it's at least better than yours."
"Tsk, it's a fool, please prick up your ears." Su Chen sighed twice and said contemptuously.
"That's right, the answer is that there is not a single bird!" After the young palace maid finished checking the answer, Jiao's face showed an incredible look, and she couldn't believe that Su Chen's answer was actually the correct one.
"What? No way! ”
"yes, why is that?"
"That's right, out of nine birds in the tree, one was hunted, shouldn't there be eight birds left?"
After hearing the palace maid's words, everyone showed an expression of disbelief, and when they heard this answer, they were all shocked expressions on their faces that could not be concealed.
"You are really elm heads, as an important member of the court, your brain is so inflexible." Su Chen sneered again, "Although there are nine birds on the tree, after hunting one, won't it create a certain amount of movement?" Since there was all movement, wouldn't the birds in the trees be frightened one by one and run away? ”
"Therefore, after hunting a bird, there are no birds in the trees!" Su Chen said sonorously and powerfully.
"Good, wonderful, admire below!" An inconspicuous person in the crowd immediately said.
Su Chen took a closer look, it turned out to be the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who had been hidden in the crowd, Wang Xun, the talented man who unveiled the list but failed the year before last!
"Look, it's the talented Wang Xun here!"
"It turns out that Lord Wang has already come, and we failed to greet you before, so it's rude, it's rude!"
Immediately, the eyes of the onlookers who ate melons fell on the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Xun alone.
Immediately, Su Chen didn't want to waste time, and no matter who Wang Xun was, when everyone was still responding to Wang Xun, he immediately uncovered the red cloth on the second plaque and started the second question.
"Look, Master Su is about to answer the second question."
"Hmph, he relied entirely on luck in the last question, I'll see if he can answer this question!"
"Excuse me, when you can use cultivation, how can one mouth become three mouths in the fastest time?"
After the content of the second question came into everyone's eyes, everyone was confused.
"How is this possible, it can't be!"
"That's right, people only have one mouth, even if they use the secret method of cultivation or something, how can ordinary people quickly grow three mouths?"
"There must be no solution to this question, and Lord Wang of the year before last also failed in this last question."
Everyone talked about it, saying that it was impossible.
"Damn, it's that simple? This question is almost like a three-year-old child! Su Chen laughed loudly.
"What? How dare you say that I'm not as good as a three-year-old child? It's so arrogant! ”
"Hmph, this official has indeed never seen such a brazen person in his life!"
"Cut, open your dog's eyes to labor and management clearly!" Su Chen let out a deep sigh, and immediately carved the answer on the plaque with his sword!
"I'm done!" After Su Chen finished writing, he put away his sword, looked at the stunned palace maid and smiled faintly.
On the second plaque, there is a word "product" engraved on it!
"What? That's what you're calling the answer? It's not related to the question at all, right? ”
"Hey, it's really young and frivolous, I thought you were going to write some amazing and peerless answer, but I didn't expect this to be it!"
"Heh, I'm afraid it's you this time!"
After everyone saw the answer written by Su Chen, they burst into laughter, with disdain and sarcasm in their eyes.
"That's right, the answer is Pinzi!" The young palace maid's face was full of shock.
"Wouldn't it? This must not work! ”
"yes, does the character he wrote have anything to do with this question?"
"Hmph, a fool is a fool, wait for the official to talk about it for you, listen well!" Su Chen felt even more amused when he saw everyone's reactions, and immediately said jokingly.
"What is the mouth expressing in words?" Su Chen glanced at the crowd and asked.
"A mouth is a mouth, how can there be any other words!"
"Idiot! It's the first time I've seen such a stupid person! Su Chen scolded.
"Ten miles of fragrant breath, what kind of food is Your Majesty researching!"
