It's night.

The snow covers the golden glazed tiles, and the eaves are covered with crystal clear ice skates.

Xie Xiaobai went back to the room where she was now living alone, tied the door, extinguished the candle, wrapped it in a thick quilt, and untied the purse that the Queen Mother gave her.

Through the color of the snow peeping in through the window, she could see that there was a small porcelain bottle in the purse, and in the porcelain bottle was a tasteless powder.

"Ingredient identification." A stream of data crossed Xie Xiaobai's eyes, and a translucent light screen opened in front of her.

【Broken Intestine Grass】It is extremely toxic, paralyzing spinal cord motor neurons, and has medicinal effects such as analgesia and anti-swelling.

Xie Xiaobai closed the lid of the porcelain bottle and put the copper bottle back into his purse.

She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, her fingers clenching her purse, and the porcelain vase hurt her.

……

On the day when King Liang rushed to the capital from his fiefdom, the new emperor set up a reception banquet for him.

The ancestor of this Liang Wang was the founder of the country, handed over the military power and changed the title, and was the only king with a different surname in this dynasty.

People's titles sound very cool, and now the strength in the court should not be underestimated, and he has long since pulled a group of ministers to support him when several princes were vying for the throne and the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and he also secretly raised private soldiers in the fiefdom.

Therefore, today is the first move of the two forces, and it is very likely to be the last move.

King Liang's current strength is really tough, enough to send a song of Liang Liang to the new emperor.

However, Empress Dowager Yuan and they occupy the home advantage, and under the flapping of the butterfly wings of Xie Xiaobai, the fast-wearing tasker, and the fifteenth princess, the reborn person, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

Xie Xiaobai lowered his head and was busy in the food department.

Today they are going to make a hot pot that is said to be Ryooh's favorite food.

"Don't be lazy, wash it all carefully, if anyone makes me find out that she didn't wash the dishes, then she will have no dinner tonight." Miao Fu stared at a few rough palace maids and spoke, feeling a little bit like a palace maid's small head.

Xie Xiaobai listened, shook his head with a smile, and continued to do the matter at hand.

She poured the egg liquid into the copper spoon, shook her hand slightly, and the egg liquid obediently turned around in the spoon, spread a thin layer on the bottom of the spoon, and quickly condensed into a golden egg skin.

She used chopsticks to pick up a small piece of meat sauce and put it in the center of the egg skin, and took advantage of the fact that the egg skin was not completely solidified, folded the egg skin in half, and gently poked the edge of the egg skin with chopsticks a few times, so that the egg skin was glued and wrapped like a gold ingot.

Seeing that Xie Xiaobai's interest was not very high, Miaofu put down the chopsticks that were stuffing meat with fried tofu, and arched Xie Xiaobai's shoulders with her arms.

"Xiaobai, are you worried about today's reception banquet?"

Xie Xiaobai nodded silently, uncovered the pork belly chicken soup on the side, the heat blurred her facial features, and the chicken and pork belly mixed with a medicinal fragrance of wolfberry and mountain ginseng drilled into the tip of her nose.

"Don't worry too much, you're just a chef, even if the sky falls, there are still tall people on top."

Miaofu, who didn't know anything, thought to herself: Although the Empress Dowager Yuan has a different view of Xiaobai, but their group of people are not Empress Dowager Yuan's henchmen after all, the new emperor is really about to fall, according to Xiaobai's current relationship with the Empress Dowager Yuan, at most he is treated coldly by the Shangshi Bureau, and he can't bear any involvement in his life.

The worst result is nothing more than that they will be rude palace maids again, and they will be ridiculed coldly!

These days, she has also seen that with Xiaobai's ability, no matter who becomes in power, as long as she wants to, she can rely on her skills to be reused.

Xie Xiaobai didn't speak, just picked up a clean spoon, scooped up a spoonful of pork belly chicken soup, and tasted the taste.

The flavor of the meat and the unique aroma of the herbs blend on the tip of her tongue to create a unique flavor that doesn't require much salt, and this original soup is delicious enough.

"Xiaobai, you really don't have to worry too much about this."

Miaofu still wanted to persuade again, Xie Xiaobai pointed to Miaofu's unfinished meat, and said sharply: "Talk less and do more, and never make mistakes." If something goes wrong with the hot pot we made today, no one will be able to save your lives! ”

Miao Fu pursed her lips and returned to her workstation without saying a word. The eyes of the other rough palace maids glanced back and forth between the two, feeling that the atmosphere was solemn, and they also focused on the work at hand.

Xie Xiaobai set up round copper pots on the table, and there was a hollowed-out flue in the center of each copper pot for ventilation.

On the bottom of the copper pot, first put the cabbage and radishes. The cabbage is all sweet cabbage with large leaves and small leaves, chopped and spread on the bottom, and the radish slices are cut into thin slices and neatly stacked at the bottom.

On top of the vegetables, meat dishes are served according to the tastes of the masters.

On this hot pot of Liangwang, Xie Xiaobai put the finished egg dumplings, fried tofu stuffed meat, smoked fish, beef slices, fresh shrimp and pork ribs.

A wide variety of ingredients are arranged in a circle around the cylinder in the middle of the copper pot, rich in color, and the waterway is empty.

Xie Xiaobai scooped up a large spoonful of pork belly chicken soup, poured it from the top of the ingredients, lit charcoal at the bottom of the copper pot, covered the pot, and waited for it to cook.

The smoke rises from the curling cooker, and the lid of the pot can't hide the aroma of the meat.

The palace maid who delivered the meal pinched the time, and when the pot was almost cooked, she left the Shangshi Bureau with the warm pot.

When they walked up to the nobles and lifted the lid of the hot pot, the nobles were just right to pick up the chopsticks and taste the deliciousness.

Xie Xiaobai sat on the stool, still hanging out in one breath.

It didn't take long for a palace maid who delivered food to return to the Shangshi Bureau alone and presented the tray in her hand to Xie Xiaobai.

Xie Xiaobai lifted the lid of the pot and found that this was the one she had prepared for King Liang.

She frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The palace maid's body trembled, and she said in a trembling voice: "Before the slave maid came out of the Shang Food Bureau, she met Cui Shangshi, and Cui Shangshi asked the slave and maid to tell the dianshan that your warm pot was not seasoned according to King Liang's preferences, and King Liang would definitely be fine." So Cui Shangshi withdrew the dish made by Dianshan. ”

Why did Cui Shangshi suddenly pop out of nowhere?

Miaofu was stunned by Cui Shangshi's operation, "Can ...... But if the other nobles are on the hot pot, and the warm pot of the guest of honor entertained today has not been served for a long time, King Liang will be fine?

"Even if we make a new one, Cui Shangshi asks other nobles to wait for the hot pot before serving, but the dishes in the hot pot can't afford to wait, and if you cook it for a while, the taste will not be the best!"

Palace maid: "Don't worry, Cui Shangshi has prepared a warm pot for King Liang that meets the taste of King Liang, and it has been sent, and it will definitely not delay the nobles' meal." ”

Xie Xiaobai has long known that like today's Hongmen banquet, Empress Dowager Yuan will not put all her eggs in her basket.

She was just a dispensable part of Empress Dowager Yuan's plan to kill King Liang, and she didn't expect to rely on her dish to poison King Liang, a thousand-year-old fox.

This screw is broken, disobedient, replace it with another good screw, and the machine can still run normally.

But she didn't expect that Cui Shangshi, who was not close to the palaces, turned out to be the secret chess piece buried by Empress Dowager Yuan in the Shangshi Bureau to replace her "good screw".
