Quietly muttered casually, either to be arrested and questioned, or to kill the head, but after finishing speaking, he felt that he had lost his mouth, and immediately corrected, "Xu is a good thing, why don't you go?" ”

"I don't know that thing, it's not a bully to go......"

Lan Hui squinted her eyes, she was thinking, if she went, she would be condemned, if there was a good thing, she was taken by the emperor at a glance, and she was included in the harem as a concubine, and it would be a loss not to go this time.

Why do women who know how to slingshot? Lan Hui really couldn't figure it out.

"It seems that Father-in-law Ping hasn't asked you yet, do you know how to make a slingshot and play with that thing?"

"How could I? Nothing has ever been heard of about a slingshot. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he sighed in pain, then hugged the pillow and closed his eyes.

Although she pretended to sleep, her heart was messy, and she was covered in cold sweat, but after drinking the decoction sent by Liu Zhang, she really wanted to sleep, and not long after closing her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep, pressing her hand on her chest, carefully protecting the book.

In the Jieqi Building of Chuxiu Palace, Gonggong Chen walked in with his waist bent and whispered to the man behind the white curtains.

"Your Majesty, I have searched the entire palace, and there are only five people who can make slingshots and play slingshots, and they are all here."

Gonggong Chen frowned, his face was a little ugly, the five palace maids he found were really not flattering, their appearance was more mediocre than the other, the two in the imperial dining room were also wide-hearted and fat, I don't know what the emperor was looking for such a palace maid to do when he came back.

The five palace ladies knelt there tremblingly, waiting for the fate, and they didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that greeted them.

"Who threw this slingshot?" A hand stretched out from behind the curtain, and in his hand was the small wooden slingshot.

The essence of Imperial Cuisine

Gonggong Chen took it, as if he was holding some treasure, and let the five palace maids look at it one by one, and the five palace maids looked at this slingshot, and they all shook their heads, saying that it was not theirs, they just knew how to play when they were children, and after entering the palace, they never touched this thing again, and if they were discovered, they would be punished. Love to see the flowers

"It's really not yours?" Gonggong Chen showed the slingshot to the five palace maids again, and the five palace maids said with great certainty that it was not theirs.

"Back to the emperor, it's not theirs." Chen Gonggong replied.

As soon as the white curtain swayed, it was picked open, and a pair of slightly squinted cold eyes shot out.

"Let them look up!"

The voice was low, but with a hint of urgency.

Gonggong Chen immediately received the order, turned around and sternly shouted to the five palace maids, "You guys, don't raise your head yet, don't look at your eyes, be careful of your heads." ”

Gonggong Chen's words frightened the five palace maids to raise their heads quickly, but they didn't know where to look, they trembled one by one, looking straight at the sky, and they really didn't dare to look at it.

The five palace maids raised their heads like this, and the eyes in the curtains looked at them in turn, and finally the curtains were lowered with a bang, and after they drooped, they slowly swayed.

Gonggong Chen hurried up, leaned close to the curtain and asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, is there anyone you are looking for?"

asked, there was no response inside, it was very quiet, so quiet that it made people a little uneasy, Gonggong Chen wiped his sweat and continued to ask, "Your Majesty, is there anyone the emperor is looking for?" ”

After reminding him again, a displeased voice came from inside.

"None of them look like them, they don't look like them all, let them all go back."

Gonggong Chen frowned, the emperor just ordered him to look for palace maids in the palace who could make slingshots and play with slingshots, but he didn't say what to do with these palace maids?

Just now, the emperor said in disappointment: "It's not like half a point?" This means...... Could it be that the emperor has seen any palace maids play with this slingshot before?

Gonggong Chen glanced at the slingshot in his hand, and suddenly realized that he understood everything, the emperor was looking for a person, not looking for these palace daughters who could make slingshots.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Gonggong Chen's face, in the palace, almost all women, from top to bottom, big and small, all dreamed of becoming the emperor's woman, undoubtedly, one of the smart palace maids chose a special way to attract the emperor's attention, playing with a slingshot, and then leaving the slingshot to play missing, which whetted the emperor's appetite.

is a cunning palace maid, she must have planned it carefully, and seeing that the emperor is so anxious, she is quite fond of it.

The so-called holding the pipa and half-covering the face, the more so, the more charming it is.

Gonggong Chen waited for the first emperor and then the new emperor, knowing what to do, what not to do, what to comprehend, and what to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he turned around and let a few little eunuchs lead the palace maid away, and then he turned around, came up, and whispered.

"The minion will definitely help the emperor find the owner of this slingshot."

This is the reason why Gonggong Chen is deeply loved by the emperor, this guy is so understanding and understands the emperor's heart too well.

Emperor Yinhuang is a very face-loving emperor, and he also pays attention to his image as a king, and he will definitely not make a big show for a palace maid, work hard to mobilize the public, and rummage through every corner of the palace, but this time, on the contrary, he remembered it in his heart and couldn't forget the woman's back, but in private, he didn't want the courtiers to think that he was an emperor who was light on government and heavy on women.

Of course, one of the most important reasons is that Emperor Yin doesn't want to make the ladies of the harem suspicious, disturbing his ears and roots.

Therefore, Emperor Yin pondered for a few days before arranging the rhetoric like this, but he did not say the purpose of finding a palace maid who could use a slingshot.

Now that the emperor doesn't need to be strict directly, Gonggong Chen can understand everything, which is no better, and it is exactly what the emperor wants.

"I'll leave this matter to you."

"The slave understands that the slave must live up to his mission."

Gonggong Chen held this crude slingshot, and his eyes showed a bright light, if he could help the emperor achieve this wish, the emperor would trust him even more, and the position of chief eunuch would be just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Gonggong Chen pinched the slingshot in his hand, feeling that the owner of this slingshot was his lucky star, and he would definitely turn her out at any cost.

The emperor drove away, and Gonggong Chen began to look for the owner of the slingshot in full swing, but he never dreamed that this morning, he almost killed the owner of the slingshot

A mess of the board was killed.

In the imperial dining room, she lay quietly all night, and she couldn't get up for two days, her teeth trembled in pain, and Xiao Li's father-in-law didn't call anyone to bother her, Xu knew that she was too seriously injured to do any more miscellaneous work.

No need to clean, plaster, quiet time will be free, after Lan Hui left early in the morning, she picked up the palace imperial meal, and looked at it page by page, distracting the pain.

There are still three days left before the assessment of the imperial kitchen cook, and she must hurry up and study hard.

The essence of the imperial diet is not how exquisite the recipes are and how meticulous the exercises are, but the people who make the imperial meals.

The one who makes the imperial meal?

And this kind of statement? Quietly a little surprised, but also obsessed, the book says that some people are born to be cooks of food, and some people are no matter how hard they try, they can't make any breakthroughs in food, and the difference between them is the innate qualifications of the nose, eyes, ears and mouth.

The nose is to smell, the eyes are to see, the ears are to hear, this mouth, is to taste, a person with sharp ears, nose, eyes and mouth is the best candidate for the imperial kitchen.

Seeing this, she quietly became more and more curious, and she couldn't let go, and she suddenly realized that she had developed a strong interest in food.

For three whole days, she quietly spent on the bed, not because her injuries did not improve and she couldn't move, but because she wanted to use this reason to spend more time reading.

Lan Hui saw that she had been quietly unable to get out of bed for several days, and she didn't care about her threat.

During the early summer, she came once and checked the quiet injury, she knew that it was not so easy to get better after the board was beaten, but it was very strange, this palace maid should be able to get out of bed and walk a few steps, but when she saw her eyes quietly closed, she looked uncomfortable, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, and then left with the medicine box.

Quietly seeing that Chu Xia was gone, I found that this medical woman was not an unsympathetic person, she didn't expose her thoughts and saved her enough face, which was also a favor she owed.

Chu Xia left, quietly continued to read, the deadline finally passed, she carefully hid the book, and just about to get up, the father-in-law outside the door came in.

Sister Chunxiang is mighty

Father-in-law Ping came in, sighed and said, "Your injury is not healed yet, forget about the assessment, father-in-law, I will remove your name now." Love"

What, delisting?

After saying this, he quietly jumped up from the bed, and stopped Ping's father-in-law regardless of the pain in his thighs.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, I'm better, better, I don't know why this morning, my head doesn't hurt at all, it really doesn't hurt anymore, I can also participate in the assessment."

In order to read books, she avoided several days of labor, and she was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay so soon, didn't you say yesterday that you can't move yet?" Gonggong Chen raised his eyes and looked quietly, this girl has been well raised in the past few days, and her face is much ruddy, and she is becoming more and more charming and charming.

"How can I let my father-in-law fight for me in vain, Chunxiang also wants to enter the imperial dining room, even if it hurts, I have to persevere."

Quietly speaking the truth, this quota does not matter to Ping's father-in-law, but to Quietly, it is of great significance.

Father-in-law Ping was happy to say this quietly, so he nodded.

"The quota has been occupied, and now it is eliminated, it is the same as being eliminated, otherwise you will be allowed to try, now hurry up and go out and prepare, the selection competition is about to begin."

"Okay, I won't disappoint my father-in-law."

Laughed quietly, the bad impression of Ping's father-in-law at first disappeared, no matter whose face this father-in-law was for, she was grateful if she didn't embarrass her.

Hurriedly changed her clothes, quietly limped out of the room, greeted the brilliant morning sun, took a deep breath, exhaled, she clenched her fists, no matter what, this was an opportunity, she must gain a foothold in the palace.

The assessment of the imperial dining room is just a beginning, lift your feet, and quietly walk out, this leg is still very painful, and it is not very convenient to move, and you are still in the imperial dining exam, no feet, otherwise it will be troublesome.

The Imperial Dining Contest was held in a large square outside the palace, which was called the contest on the surface, but in fact it was like a celebration, and the whole imperial dining room was filled with eunuchs of all sizes, and the famous imperial chefs came, and the huge field of red flags fluttered and streamers flew together.

A plaque reads "Kitchen" in large gold letters.

As a result of the competition, one winner, that is, the champion, will be selected, three apprentices, who will be led by the chef in the dining room to become candidates for the future chef, and ten cooks will be left as alternates.

The imperial kitchen in the inner and outer imperial dining rooms is for ten people to act as evaluators, as well as the female officials in the palace, the smell of children's officials, the health female officials, and a few women who are quite fond of delicious food, also came to join in the fun.

Gonggong Chen came as the deputy chief manager, Gonggong Ping came, and even the eunuch Lan Gonggong, the leader of the inner imperial dining room, also came, and everyone sat down according to their positions.

"I chose the good one, and we also want to choose one in the imperial dining room." Lan Gonggong said.

"That's, that's." Father-in-law Ping smiled, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

The inside and outside imperial dining room, although it is called the imperial dining room, but for the different objects of service, the status is different, the same is the leader of the eunuch, Lan Gonggong is a little more arrogant than Pinggong Gonggong, speaking, there is always a feeling of domineering.

Father-in-law Ping has been dissatisfied with this Father-in-law Lan for a long time, but with Father-in-law Chen present, he didn't dare to come out.

"In this imperial dining room, there is also a handyman named Li Chunxiang, which can really make trouble." Lan Gonggong said sarcastically.

Father-in-law Ping frowned, and he didn't say a word, which made Father-in-law Lan even more proud.

The venue of the competition, crowded with people, although orderly, is also overcrowded, and it will be quiet after a few rounds of the competition.

The people who participated in this selection competition, a total of three hundred and fifty people, one hundred and fifty people, have been eliminated in the qualifiers, and those who can enter this place today are the elites of the diet from all over the world, and they are by no means given for nothing, and it is not so easy to win them.

These food elites, both men and women, are not more than ten years old, if they can be elected to the palace, they will have a bright future, and no one will easily let go of this opportunity.

Quietly dragged her legs into the venue, which was not completely good, and was frightened by this scene, she was a little worried, only theory, no practice, can she stand out among so many people.

Is that palace meal really good here? About this, I quietly have no bottom in my heart.

"Sister Chunxiang, come on!"

Outside the venue, small

The tall and big man raised their fists, cheered quietly for the quiet, and smiled quietly and embarrassedly, even if she worked hard, she would just have such a little ability, a little handyman palace maid, walking here, like a frog at the bottom of the well.

"You say, can Sister Chunxiang win?" The little man craned his neck and asked in a low voice.

"Sister Chunxiang's courage is commendable, as for the strength? Hehe, I might have to go back to sleep early. A water-carrying eunuch laughed.

"What did you say?"

The big man slapped him on the head, and said in a muffled voice, "I think, Sister Chunxiang is invincible and brave, how can she hold on to one round, as for the second round, even if she is eliminated, it is also our mighty Chunxiang knot." ”

Hey, speaking of which, a few eunuchs who carried water didn't have much confidence in her, and thought that she would have to come down in one round, even if she was lucky enough to pass one round, and the second round, no matter what, she couldn't pass it.

It seems that everyone has little hope for this Li Chunxiang, some people are here to see the excitement, one of them is the little Li Gonggong who is sitting next to Ping's father-in-law, last time he was ordered by Ping's father-in-law, and stepped forward to help quietly, but he was quietly pushed out, making him very faceless, at this time, his eyes were wide open, and he secretly calculated in his heart that if Li Chunxiang was eliminated this time and went back to do chores again, he would definitely let this woman not have a good life.
