One hundred taels of silver for a feast, and it was lost.

But no matter how stupid Huangfu Xue was, she knew that this was not the time to fight with Concubine Zheng Guifei, so she entered the palace and followed Feng Xia to the imperial dining room.

From Jiangnan to the capital, all the way to the fast, the original half-month journey, but it took about ten days to arrive. An Mingchen looked at the city gate close at hand, his mind was full of Huangfu Xue, thinking if she would wait for him not far away.

Getting closer and closer to the city gate, An Mingchen inexplicably began to get nervous, in the past ten days, he has been traveling all the way in the hope of seeing her as soon as possible, he hasn't seen her for more than a month, and he doesn't know how she is...... For more than a month, I don't know how she is doing.

After thinking about it, the carriage entered the city gate, An Mingchen lifted the curtain, looked at the street in front of him, his eyes kept looking around, he was calm on the surface, but his mind had already flown to where Huangfu Xue was, but he didn't find him after looking for a long time, and when he secretly guessed, Gonggong Li arrived with someone and stopped everyone.

"Lord An, the emperor has already set up a banquet for you in the palace, please Lord An will enter the palace with the slaves." Gonggong Li is a person close to the emperor, and the emperor sent him over at this time, firstly, to give him enough pomp, and secondly, to value him.

Although An Mingchen was like an arrow, he also knew that today's banquet was to celebrate with him, and he couldn't refuse. After thinking about it, he found the guards and explained that he would go to the emperor's house to report the news first, and then followed Gonggong Li to the palace.

As soon as Huangfu Xue came to the imperial dining room, she heard about the purpose of today's banquet, and naturally knew that An Mingchen would enter the palace later, and she was originally a little disappointed, but now she was full of smiles, and almost put all her thoughts on cooking, as long as she thought that he could eat the dishes she cooked, she felt like she had been beaten with chicken blood. It's just that...... As soon as she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to show off her strength, Feng Xia, who had already left, turned back at this time, and pulled him out of the imperial dining room with an unkind face.

"Girl, come with me." Feng Xia's face was not very good, Huangfu Xue glanced at him, I don't know why, "Didn't Niangniang invite me to cook, this is to ......"

"Niangniang did invite you to cook, but not in the imperial dining room." Feng Xia looked annoyed when she said this, before Niang Niang asked her to pick up people, she only said that she would invite Huangfu Xue to cook in the palace but did not say where to send people after they were brought, and when he sent people to the imperial dining room to invite merit, Niang Niang scolded her with a slash on her face.

Thinking of the scene just now, Feng Xia was irritable, her face was impatient, and her steps were getting faster and faster, "You just go with me, so many words." ”

Huangfu Xue's face changed slightly, and she stopped, "Miss Fengxia, Miss Ben is just here to cook, not to be angry, you are in a bad mood Miss Ben can understand, but if you want to spill your anger on Miss Ben, Miss Ben will tell you that you have found the wrong person." ”

"Hmph, it's just the daughter of a businessman, our family can see you as your blessing, and I really think that if you enter the eyes of our family's mother, you are also a nobleman." Feng Xia snorted coldly and turned around and walked into the palace next to her.

just walked a distance and found that Huangfu Xue didn't follow, turned his head to look, and suddenly darkened his face, "What are you still doing there, delaying the hour, missing the big event of the mother, how many heads can you cut off." ”

"Just a palace maid, what a big breath. What would happen to you if I told you what you just said to your concubine? Huangfu Xue stood still motionless. Feng Xia's face changed slightly, her memory returned, remembering the scene of his confrontation with Niangniang that day, and secretly scolded herself in her heart for being careless and wanting to pinch him, this is not a good stubble, she did what she said, if she really stabbed things to Niangniang, she would be unlucky.

Feng Xia's face was full of unwillingness, but she had to step forward and salute her, "Miss Huangfu atoned for her sins, the slave maid was speechless just now, and please don't worry about the slave maid." ”

"Now that you know that you are wrong, Miss Ben can ignore what happened just now, but Miss Ben doesn't want to have a next time." Huangfu Xue glanced at him and strode forward, and Feng Xia hurriedly followed when she saw this. After a while, the two of them came to a kitchen that was a little smaller than the imperial dining room.

Almost as soon as she entered the door, Huang Fuxue understood what was in Zheng Guifei's stomach, Feng Xia explained and left, an hour later, Feng Xia took the palace maid in to serve the food, because of the grievance just now, Feng Xia's face was still not very good, but she did not regenerate.

In the hall at this time, the emperor sat on the seat with hundreds of civil and military officials and waited for An Mingchen, the emperor looked extremely happy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth has not been broken from the beginning to the present. Seeing this, the ministers were in a much better mood.

"Lord Ann has arrived." The voice of the eunuch reached the main hall, and everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and then looked at the top of the main hall.

"Hurry up, please." The emperor was a little excited, and after speaking, he looked at the door of the hall and smiled, and after a while, An Mingchen walked in, strode forward, knelt under the hall and saluted, "Long live the five emperors, long live the five emperors, the ministers have fulfilled their mission and have dealt with all the floods in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

"Okay, okay, Aiqing, please get up quickly, you must be tired all the way, hurry up and take a seat." The emperor pointed to a position not far away, and An Mingchen thanked him and then walked to the side and sat down. The atmosphere in the hall was rare to be so relaxed, An Mingchen raised his head and glanced at everyone, only to see that the faces of the people in the old party were not very good, but this did not affect his mood at all, but seeing that they were unhappy, his mood was a little better.

"An Aiqing, isn't the trip to Jiangnan very hard, I heard that you have encountered a lot of things after you went to Jiangnan, Jiangnan can now stabilize so quickly It is said that you also helped me arrest Liu Runlian, a corrupt official, and even came up with a way to build a dam to store water, which is really wonderful. What do you think of An Aiqing's approach? ”

The emperor knew early on that An Mingchen was a smart man, and he knew that he would deal with this matter when he sent him to Jiangnan, but he didn't expect that he not only dealt with the flood, but also thought of such a wonderful way to prevent drought, the people of the world know that drought and floods are equally terrible, but these are unpredictable, originally thought that as long as the river was repaired, floods could be prevented, but I didn't expect that this drought could also be prevented.

As long as the emperor thinks that the people of Jiangnan will no longer have to experience drought in the future, and even other places can follow suit, his mood will be extremely happy, and the people of the old party will not be as impatient as before these days.

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, these are what Weichen should do, as for the idea of building a dam......"

"Your Majesty, look at you, I'm happy and forget everything, Lord An has just come back from Jiangnan, and he must be tired all the way, so it's better to start the banquet first, so that Lord An can eat something, and it's not too late to pad his stomach and give a message to the emperor." Concubine Zheng Guifei's mind was full of the emperor being able to notice her, seeing that the time passed little by little, the slaves and maids outside had been waiting for a quarter of an hour, and if she waited any longer, the food would be cold.

Shaved ice is no different from others, it melts after a long time, but you can't wait any longer. The emperor was indeed a little anxious, and when he heard Concubine Zheng's reminder, he nodded with a smile, "It's my carelessness, someone is here to pass on the meal." ”

The palace maids waiting outside the door entered the hall one after another, and the palace maids who had arranged before directly brought the meal prepared by Huangfu Xue to the emperor, Zheng Guifei glanced at the meal in front of her, her eyes flashed slightly.

After passing the meal, after the palace maid left, the emperor ordered a meal, tired all the way, and returned to his heart like an arrow, An Mingchen has not eaten today, and he will see that the dishes with all the color and flavor are indeed a little hungry. Seeing that everyone began to move the chopsticks, I also picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, and after taking a bite, I inexplicably felt that the taste was a little familiar, and I took another bite in confusion.

The dishes made by Huangfu Xue are a little different from other people, no matter what she cooks, she likes to put some decorative things on the dinner plate, An Mingchen looked at the dishes in front of him carefully, and when he thought of something, his face changed slightly.

The emperor also felt that today's dishes were very familiar, but he felt that it was unlikely, maybe it was just similar. It's just that when the palace maid brought up the shaved ice, the emperor's face changed, "These dishes shouldn't be made in the imperial dining room." Aifei, today's banquet was organized by you, do you know who made these dishes? ”

The emperor's eyes were full of expectation, could it be that she entered the palace, but why was he in the palace, did she know her identity so she came, and also, what did she do in the palace, she would only come to cook? The emperor thought about many possibilities, and then saw Zheng Guifei smile and speak, "What does the emperor think of today's dishes?" ”

"The color, flavor, and flavor are on par with the craftsmanship of the imperial chef, but it has more thought than the imperial kitchen." The emperor was talking about plating, and only Huangfu Xue would do this for plating, so he was very sure that he made these meals.

It's just that why she appeared in the palace and why she cooked in the palace, he thought, Concubine Zheng may know best.

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment, in fact, this meal is ...... It was made by a concubine. Zheng Guifei covered her mouth with a handkerchief and ran towards the emperor with a shy and timid look, and the concubines who were doing it saw this, they glared at her unwillingly. Concubine Zheng can cook, why don't they know, hmph, when did the Zheng family even do such a vulgar thing as cooking in order to please Jun Xin.

The concubines were hostile to Zheng Guifei because of her careful thoughts, and they were thinking about how to deal with him in the future, who knew that the emperor was not only not the slightest moved and happy when he heard Zheng Guifei's words, but his face changed greatly, and he put down his chopsticks with a snap.

"Concubine Zheng, you are so bold, do you know what the crime of bullying is."

Concubine Zheng Guifei was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, not knowing what went wrong and why the emperor would do such a big job, but now she didn't have time to think about this, and quickly thought of a solution in her heart.

"The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor means^" It's not that I don't understand, but I don't dare to say it. I secretly wondered in my heart, how did the emperor know that these meals were not made by him, or was the emperor just blowing him up?

"Don't understand? It's okay, you'll understand soon. The emperor glanced at the shaved ice on the table, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "Since Concubine Ai said that these dishes are made by you, then you can tell me about the method of shaved ice." ”
