She also wanted to present it to her son as if he were offering a treasure today, maybe his son would like this peculiar taste.

Usually always picky eater, I don't eat this, I don't eat that, look at this thin appearance, I feel distressed when I see my mother.

No matter how much you worry about national affairs, no matter how much you share your Majesty's worries, you can't skip this meal.

So at the banquet, Mrs. Qi didn't find that dish, and couldn't help but feel a little strange and impatient, Ruoping never let her down, what the hell is going on today?

Mrs. Qi made an excuse and left the banquet, she wanted to go to the back kitchen to have a look.

Ruoping himself was also very anxious, he thought that it was absolutely foolproof to hand over this matter to Xiao Fang, but who would have thought that the cook would be beaten by someone, and he was still a woman.

At least in the capital of Chu State, he rarely met a female cook. Ruoping has hosted no less than 100 large and small banquets, and it is the first time he has encountered such a tricky one.

For him, completing the task assigned by his wife is the most important thing, and there is no reason to compromise.

After instructing the steward Fang, Ruoping returned to the front hall, but he was afraid that his wife would ask, so he hesitated back and forth in the corridor of the courtyard.

Thinking that I can escape for a while is a moment.

Unfortunately, he was still caught by his wife.

After Mrs. Qi came out of the front hall, she asked around where Butler Ruoping was, how could he be without him on such an important occasion, he had to be responsible for the big and small things that might occur at the banquet, not only adding wine and food to entertain guests, but also, why hadn't the dish she wanted come at this time?

Ruoping inevitably met Mrs. Qi in the corridor, he smiled at her awkwardly, and then arched his hand: "Madam." ”

"Ruoping, what's the matter with you? The guests in the front hall are half clothed, and you don't look at it? Why didn't you bring that dish I asked you to make until now? When is this time of misconduct? ”

Qi Qingchu often didn't even have time to eat the things brought by his own mother, and today is a good day for his birthday, of course, he has to celebrate.

"Madame, this... This... I can't help it! Ruoping said in embarrassment.

"What's not to help? It's just a dish, what's wrong? Mrs. Qi was dressed in a purple luxurious dress, and approached Ruoping with a delicate fragrance.

Ruoping was sweating profusely nervously, and felt that the breath of his wife coming from the top of his head was very oppressive.

"Madame, ma'am, that cook she was beaten!" Ruoping gritted his teeth and said.

"Beaten?" Mrs. Qi was stunned for a moment, feeling a little inexplicable, how could she say that she was beaten in a dignified manner?

"Yes, when Steward Fang found the cook, the cook was being beaten by a man, and Steward Fang couldn't look past it and saved the woman, and it turned out that the woman was the cook we were looking for."

"Oh? Do you know why? ”

"This ...... He didn't say it, and I didn't ask. Ruoping's nervous forehead was sweating, and he was afraid that his wife would be angry, and then he ran to the master to complain, and then his life would be difficult.

"Oh...... ...... so" Mrs. Qi pondered for a moment, then turned around and left, without saying anything to Ruoping, which made Ruoping nervous for a long time.

Mrs. Qi walked to the front hall in a reluctant, still thinking about that incident in her heart, she didn't have anything to ask in detail, but she felt a little concerned.

After all, she was still wondering what kind of person would be able to make this kind of meal. I wonder if I want to see each other.

It turned out to be a woman, a woman.

The front hall was brightly lit, and the prince and princess and Qi Qingchu were standing together, chatting in the corner, and the people next to them didn't dare to come forward to talk, after all, they were all royalty.

Qi Qingchu was a little impatient, he was tired of dealing with these things, especially when he had to compliment each other and be humble to these people, without any official and serious attitude, which made Qi Qingchu feel a little unhappy.

"Mother, didn't you say you had something to show me?" Coincidentally, Mrs. Qi didn't notice Qi Qingchu when she passed by, but he took the initiative to speak out.

also blamed himself for wearing a black robe and a simple robe, standing in a group of glamorous princes and princesses, but his appearance added a lot to him, but when he lowered his head, Mrs. Qi didn't see her son.

"Chu'er? What's wrong? Oh! You say that! Uh, I don't have to worry when I see that the prince and nobles around you are here, and it's the same when I look at it at night. Mrs. Qi smiled awkwardly.

In fact, she hasn't come up with excuses and excuses yet.

"What's that?" A crisp and slightly childish female voice sounded next to her, and Mrs. Qi subconsciously raised her eyes.

She was a delicate woman in a blue dress. It doesn't look very old. Apricot eyes and round face, but very cute. This is the youngest daughter of the monarch of Chu State, Jiang Xicheng, Princess Yitian.

He is very lively and playful on weekdays, and is deeply loved by His Majesty. I came to Qi Mansion today with her eldest brother and second brother.

The eldest brother is the crown prince, Jiang Ximu, Prince Chicheng, who is from the current queen mother, and the second brother is Jiang Xilu, who is from the concubine.

Since Princess Yitian asked, of course Mrs. Qi had no reason not to answer.

So she respectfully saluted the princess, and then replied seriously: "Your Royal Highness the princess, in fact, this is the case, there is a very delicious dish found in the house, which is made by an independent cook, not a restaurant in the capital, I am very curious, so I found a housekeeper, and the result is ......"

"The result?" Jiang Xicheng pretended to be innocent and looked at Mrs. Qi with wide eyes, looking full of curiosity, which made people can't bear to refuse to answer her.

And Mrs. Qi has no intention of hiding it at all, this is something that does not need to be hidden.

As a result, when the people in the house went to find her, they realized that he was a woman, and she was being beaten in the street.

The housekeeper in the house didn't know that it was appropriate, but he still separated them, and then brought them back to the house, and handed them over to the government tomorrow to deal with. ”

Jiang Xicheng nodded seriously, expressing his satisfaction with Mrs. Qi's answer. But she was very curious, is it really so delicious, can it make Mrs. Qi unforgettable?

She peeked at Qi Qingchu, and after finding that the other party's eyes matched her own, she immediately dodged away, and two blush bloomed on her face, but fortunately she couldn't see it in the night.

"Then since it is prepared for Qingchu, does this princess also have such an opportunity to taste it?"

Mrs. Qi hurriedly replied: "Of course, the princess is a golden body, how can she not agree to such a small request?" It's just that the cook is temporarily inconvenient, and the princess may have to come back another day. ”

In this way, I successfully made an appointment with Princess Yitian to come to the house next time. Qi Qingchu, who was standing next to him, naturally knew what his mother had in mind, so he spoke out to stop it.

"What the hell was that cook beaten into? Or if it's not that serious, can he be allowed to take action? After all, Her Royal Highness wants to give it a try, but she can't let Her Royal Highness lose her interest. ”

After these words were not soft or hard, they reminded Mrs. Qi that indeed, the people in this royal family were moody, and they couldn't annoy them.

"In that case, please wait a minute, Your Royal Highness the Princess......"

"No, don't bother. I have a plan, is it for fun, I don't know what you think? ”

Jiang Xicheng looked at his eldest brother and second brother and said coquettishly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked doting, he was a benevolent person, and her second brother looked indifferent.

Jiang Xicheng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are born from the same mother, and their natural feelings are deep and extraordinary.

"You say, 'Why was the woman beaten?' Eldest brother! You speak first! Jiang Xicheng said coquettishly.

"Prince Ben guesses that he should be in debt." Jiang Ximu casually said an ordinary one, which is not new.

"Second brother?"

"Husband and wife trivial." Since she is a female cook, it is inevitable that there will be some incidents in the back kitchen and be criticized.

"So, what about Harumu?" Jiang Xicheng said coquettishly to Qi Qingchu.

"......" Qi Qingchu's glass-like eyes fell on her, and she didn't speak for a while, seeing Jiang Xicheng's face red and dizzy.

Seeing the interaction between the two, the prince couldn't help but reproach softly and said, "Orange, don't mess around." "Jiang Xicheng's emotions are too obvious, as a member of the royal family, no.

"Big brother, I want to hear Qingchu's opinion!" Jiang Xicheng turned around by Jiang Ximu's words, and then pouted and pretended to be arrogant.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qi hurriedly stood up and thought about it: "Princess, forgive me, Chu'er can't speak." Then she boldly participated in the speculation, saying that it was due to the competition between the businessmen's peers.

Jiang Xicheng was not dissatisfied because of Mrs. Qi's intervention, but felt happy because of the kindness of the other party, if there was a chance, the woman in front of her who looked good was likely to become her mother-in-law in the future.

Everyone talked about it again, and the topic was all around this female chef, that is, Li Jicai.

"In that case, let's call the woman and see if she's really her, as you guessed." Jiang Xicheng smiled mischievously, and then said pretending to be serious.

Mrs. Qi felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't refute Her Royal Highness's face, so she had to nod and say, "In that case, then call that woman over and ask, I just want to know where she learned this cooking skill." ”

It just so happened that after Ruoping returned to the front hall, Mrs. Qi saw him, and wanted to send someone to find him, but now she didn't need it, nodded at him, and motioned for him to come over.

Ruoping's sweat had just dried off, and now, a fine and dense cold sweat began to break out again.

It's not just because he doesn't know what his wife called him, but also because there are several royal nobles standing next to his wife, he is just a small person, and if he says something wrong, Xiang Shang's head will not be guaranteed.

"Madame, what's the matter?" Ruoping approached Mrs. Qi's side lightly, and then asked in a low voice.
