As soon as Xu Linfeng heard this, he immediately pulled Chen Youyi aside, and after making sure that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked, "But what trouble did you encounter?" ”

"Yes." There was not much time, Chen Youyi picked up the key points as much as possible and said, "Our chili ingredients have been detained by the guards at the gate, and now we can't participate in the competition without chili peppers, can you help us think of a way to bring some chili peppers in from the outside?" ”

His face became even more ugly, seeing Xu Linfeng embarrassed, Chen Youyi also began to realize the difficulty of this matter, only to see Xu Linfeng said with some hesitation, "It's not that I won't help you in this matter, it's just that where am I going to get you chili now?" In addition, even if you get it, if I find out for you, you won't be able to tell this clearly, for fear that there will be suspicion of cheating in the future, which will not be good for you and me. ”

It's not impossible to worry about this, but right now, Chen Youyi can't find anyone else to help her except Xu Linfeng, if he can't help, she will really lose here in the second round.

Xu Linfeng also saw that Chen Youyi was indeed a little embarrassed, and he wanted to help her, so he said, "Otherwise, I'll go and think of a way for you, if you can get the chili pepper and let someone send it to you, but you must not tell anyone, I gave you the chili pepper." ”

"Don't worry, you won't say it." Chen Youyi thought that he would help him, so he handed over this matter to him to deal with, and on the way back, Mo Xincheng suddenly stopped, "Madam, I have something to leave for a while, and I will look for you in the rest place in a while." ”

Chen Youyi didn't think much about it, nodded and asked Mo Xincheng to leave here, she kept thinking about what happened just now, that official has been targeting herself, there must be a reason, there is no problem with other people's ingredients, but when she came here, she encountered such a situation.

The first person that came to her mind was Lele, maybe Lele did something behind her back, if she knew that she was participating in this competition, maybe she would really seize the opportunity to target herself.

Thinking like this, Chen Youyi walked back, but after walking for a while, he found that something was not quite right, the roads in this place were paved with stones, and they were very beautiful pebbles, colorful, extremely comfortable to walk on, surrounded by some precious flowers and plants, rockeries, and green plants that should suit the scene.

The layout and architectural style are also completely different from the place just now, Chen Youyi was bored thinking about her own affairs, but she didn't expect that when she came to this place, she glanced around, planning to walk back along the road just now, but who knew how many steps back, but found that she didn't recognize it here.

After following the path and going around to the back of a rockery, Chen Youyi patted her head and said to herself, "It's over, I'm lost!" How can there be such a courtyard in this place? ”

Looking at the small courtyard is not big, but it is unusually exquisite, at first glance it is the place where people with interest and status live, she is in a hurry to go back, looking around, but there is no figure, seeing that the time of the game is getting closer and closer, Xu Linfeng has not helped herself get the chili pepper I don't know, I always have to go back to the chef and deal with those things.

But the more anxious she was, the more Chen Youyi found that she couldn't find her way back at all, the more she walked, the more chaotic she became, she felt that she was going farther and farther, and after walking a few small courtyards, she found that it was completely a scenery that she had never seen.

When he was anxious, a little maid's voice came from behind him, "This lady, what are you doing here?" The little maid asked tentatively, Chen Youyi turned around sharply, hurriedly came to the little maid's side, and said a little anxiously, "I'm here to participate in the competition, I left a little bit halfway, and then I got lost here, and I can't find my way back, can you please tell me, which way to go to the competition site?" ”

The little maid looked Chen Youyi up and down, and seemed to be a little puzzled, but looking at Chen Youyi's dress, she looked like a rich family, whether it was the style and texture of the clothes, or the hairpin on her head, it didn't look like something ordinary people could afford.

So when she spoke, she was a lot more polite, "Oh, so that's it, you go over there, cross two small courtyards, and then cross a small bridge, and there is a door from there, and you can go over there, and then ask others, and you can find the game site, but you have walked far enough, and you have already arrived here!" ”

After Chen Youyi knew the general direction, she was very grateful, and thanked the little maid and hurriedly walked in the direction she said, although she didn't walk out all at once, but at least she knew which direction to go.

Time is getting less and less, Chen Youyi's heart is getting more and more anxious, her steps are becoming more and more urgent, and when she was walking through a small courtyard and towards another courtyard, she turned around at the door and bumped into a person.

Chen Youyi only felt that his shoulder, as if he had hit a stone, hurt badly, and his body took two steps back, but fortunately there was a tree next to the door behind him, so he didn't fall down, but he heard someone on the other side groaning.

When Chen Youyi raised his head to look, he saw a maid who was nearly a head taller than herself, standing in front of her like a strong man, staring at two big round eyes, looking like she was about to eat herself, with her hands on her hips, shouting, "You are blind, where are you going, can't you see me as a big person?" ”

Chen Youyi was worried about the things on the other side of the game, and was unwilling to deal with the "strong man" dressed up by this maid, apologized, and prepared to leave in a hurry.

"Chen Youyi didn't expect to see you here! What are you doing in this Qingchun Garden? ”

Qingchun Garden? Chen Youyi really didn't know what Qingchun Garden this place was, but when she saw Lele, her heart sank a little, and she didn't want to clash with her head-on, after all, there were important things waiting to be done by herself, "I'm here to compete!" If nothing else, I'll go first. ”

This time, the person who stopped Chen Youyi was none other than Lele, she glanced around, there was no other person here, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Chen Youyi, I didn't expect you to dare to participate in the competition of the imperial court with such great ability, are you still thinking in your heart, use this competition to win the love of your father, and then snatch Qin Ziheng away from me?" ”
