"You...... Why are you crying? This king didn't do anything to you, but you slapped this king, and this king hasn't asked you for sin! ”

Duanmu Heng subconsciously raised his hand to wipe Lin Xiaomiao's tears, and it was only at this moment that he realized that he had never seemed to be so afraid of women's tears as he was today.

In the past, he saw a lot of women's tears in the palace, not only did he not feel it at all, but he also laughed at it when he was in a bad mood, but now he faced Lin Xiaomiao's tears, which made him panic from the bottom of his heart.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Originally, Lin Xiaomiao only shed tears silently at first, but later, she gradually cried.

She was so aggrieved that she cried, she was scared to cry, she had slept well, but she never wanted to be intimidated by this naïve prince and say that she had gone off, but she slapped Duanmu Heng in a daze, although it was not hit in the face, but the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of the back of her hand that quickly turned red, and Lin Xiaomiao's heart defense line was not tightened all of a sudden, and tears fell.

Her courage has been tossed smaller and smaller by this end of Mu Heng.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, just ...... It's the king's mistake just now, the king shouldn't scare you, don't cry, it's early in the morning, it's not good to cry......"

Duanmu Heng lowered his head, trying his best to comfort Lin Xiaomiao, who was crying.

Lin Xiaomiao's mood came suddenly, and after crying for a while, her voice gradually became smaller, but the tears still fell, and she couldn't stop it, Duanmu Heng was so generous that she sacrificed her sleeves to wipe Lin Xiaomiao's tears.

"Don't cry, today is the queen's birthday, and I will attend the palace banquet later."

Duanmu Heng thought for a while and said, "Didn't you ask me what birthday gift I prepared for the queen before?" If you don't cry, I'll tell you now. ”

In fact, Duanmu Heng was a little weak when he said this, he touched his nose uncomfortably, but when the words came out, he couldn't take it back.

The mood slowly calmed down, and Lin Xiaomiao's tears stopped.

She was really aroused by Duanmu Heng's curiosity, and looked at Duanmu Heng with a pair of red rabbit eyes, "What is the birthday ceremony?" ”

Duanmu Heng sold a pass at this time, "You get up and freshen up first, I'll wait for you outside, and when you come out, I'll tell you." ”

After Duanmu Heng finished speaking, he didn't look at Lin Xiaomiao's face, so he jumped up violently as if he was on fire.

Looking at Duanmu Heng's disappearing back, Lin Xiaomiao was stunned for a moment before she snorted angrily.

After Duanmu Heng came out, he asked the palace maid guarding the door to come in and freshen up Lin Xiaomiao, and Lin Xiaomiao quickly dressed up and walked out under the service of the palace maid.

When she walked out, she saw Duanmu Heng standing at the door with his hands behind his back.

Duanmu Heng, who heard the sound, turned around and looked at Lin Xiaomiao: "Okay?" Let's go to the front hall for breakfast. ”

He raised his feet and left, Lin Xiaomiao followed his footsteps and muttered, "Didn't you say that you would tell me what gift you had prepared for the queen after I freshened up?" How to talk doesn't count. ”

Duanmu Heng's ears were tipped, even though Lin Xiaomiao's voice was very small when he said this, he still heard it clearly.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you when I tell you, this king won't tell you a lie, and he won't lie to you a little girl." As he spoke, he reached out and touched Lin Xiaomiao's head.

Lin Xiaomiao was afraid that he would mess up his hair bun, so she turned her head to avoid it, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who knows." ”

Although this Duanmu Heng is a dignified prince, she is so naïve that she can't do it, after the incident of getting up in the morning, she doesn't want to believe Duanmu Heng at all now.

waited until the two had breakfast, but this time Duanmu Heng had no excuse not to say anything.

He cleared his throat and said, "This birthday ceremony is also about you, and you still need to contribute." ”

Lin Xiaomiao was puzzled, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Duanmu Heng walked with Lin Xiaomiao and said, "You just come with me." ”

When Lin Xiaomiao saw the three words of the vigorous and powerful imperial dining room, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Xiaomiao looked at Duanmu Heng in an unkind tone.

The corners of Duanmu Heng's lips rose, "I'll bring you to make a birthday gift for the queen." ”

"What!" Lin Xiaomiao raised her voice.

"Aren't you a good cook? Now there is a chance for you to perform, as long as you make a surprise meal for the queen as a birthday gift, then there will be a great reward. ”

Duanmu Heng said triumphantly, and the last half of the sentence also accentuated the tone.

Lin Xiaomiao couldn't believe what she heard, "Are you kidding me?" ”

Duanmu Heng shook his head, "How can I fool you, this is an idea that I thought of early in the morning, on the queen's birthday in previous years, all the treasures were offered, and today I will make a surprise meal as a birthday gift, but it is so fresh." ”

Duanmu Heng said, bringing people inside: "You are the most important part of this birthday ceremony, and now it depends on your performance." ”

When the people in the imperial dining room saw Duanmu Heng coming, although they were very puzzled, they still saluted respectfully.

Duanmu Heng said to the imperial cook: "Today, this king is here to borrow the imperial dining room, and you are also distracted, just do your own work, you only need to give a place to this king." ”

The imperial chef responded, and beckoned the others to continue working, after all, today is the queen's birthday, and there are so many things to do, and they can't delay for half a moment.

The imperial dining room is very large, even if Duanmu Heng wants to borrow a place, it is not in the way.

Duanmu Heng pushed Lin Xiaomiao, who was still stunned, to the stove and said, "Okay, you hurry up, it's not too early." ”

Lin Xiaomiao was forced to drive the ducks to the shelves, so she gritted her teeth and glared at Duanmu Heng angrily, before she turned around and looked around at what ingredients were in the imperial dining room.

Now she suddenly told her that she was going to cook a meal for the queen, but she didn't know what to do.

The head was spinning rapidly, and when his eyes swept over a verdant green pepper and red carrot, his eyes lit up, and there he was!

Since she is the queen, her identity is so noble, and she has eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the ordinary dishes cannot enter the eyes of the queen, she still remembers that one of the hardest dishes she learned when she was studying art in modern times was called the Hundred Birds and the Phoenix, which was very troublesome to make, but it was shocking after making it.

After Lin Xiaomiao had an idea, she quickly started to move.

Modern dishes are based on chicken, but her dish is different, chicken is the staple food, but it is combined with a variety of brightly colored fruit platters and carvings.

It's because it's different from the ordinary birds and phoenixes, so she has only studied for so long.

She asked Duanmu Heng for a handicap, and then collected brightly colored dishes and fruits in the kitchen, and instructed the handsome to wash all the ingredients, and then asked him to cut some simple ones and put them on a plate.

She picked a whole tender chicken, let people deal with it, then put the whole chicken into the boiling water to soak, to clean the blood, take out and wash, after washing, take a casserole, put in the green onion knot, ginger pieces, ham skin, and then add water, boil on the fire, and then put the chicken in, and then add the special wine of the imperial dining room, and then move to low heat and stew when boiling......

She is quick with her hands and feet, and after a whole set of hard work, she can stunned many people in the imperial dining room.

She carefully picked watermelon, carrots, pumpkins and other fruits and vegetables, hunched her waist, calmed down and slowly began to carve.

It's not easy to make a good-looking fruit platter, let alone a fruit platter with a lot of work.

Even the head chef of the imperial dining room was attracted by Lin Xiaomiao's approach, he has been an imperial chef for a long time, and it is the first time he has seen people combine fruits and vegetables and chicken and other ingredients, which is really unusual.

Lin Xiaomiao had no time to take care of anything else, and carved her platter wholeheartedly, and before she knew it, it was time for the palace banquet.

After Duanmu Heng took Lin Xiaomiao to the imperial dining room, he walked away, and when the hour was almost right, he turned back.

He walked in and saw Lin Xiaomiao standing like a tender lotus in the smoke, but what was more eye-catching than Lin Xiaomiao herself was the picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix in front of her.

The torso is made of tender yellow fresh chicken, and the body is covered with layers of carved and colorful melons and fruits as feather wings and tails, which is lifelike, and it is simply beautiful and dazzling!

The cooks next to him all looked at the hundred birds and phoenixes in front of Lin Xiaomiao, and their eyes were reluctant to move half a millimeter away at all, like that, they vowed to engrave the wonders in front of them into their minds.

Duanmu Heng saw the arrogant eyes of those cooks, and at this moment, infinite pride was born in his heart.

The woman who made such a surprising meal was his people!

Lin Xiaomiao saw Duanmu Heng coming back, so she said, "What you want me to do has already been done, just let people be careful and serve it." ”

Lin Xiaomiao took off her apron, washed her hands, and wanted to leave.

Duanmu Heng hurriedly stopped the person, "I can't leave when I'm done, this king said that I will take you to the palace banquet today." ”

"Silly? I'm a peasant girl without any identity, and participating in the palace banquet with you will only embarrass you, and I won't go to make people laugh at me for nothing. Lin Xiaomiao thought that Duanmu Heng was joking before, after all, she was a peasant girl who didn't know anything, and she was not qualified to participate in those palace banquets that only high-ranking officials and nobles, princes and grandsons could attend.

"With this king here, no one dares to laugh at you." Duanmu Heng twisted his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I'll let someone take you to change your clothes first, and then I will attend the palace banquet with this king later." ”

Duanmu Heng strongly asked people to take Lin Xiaomiao to change clothes, regardless of whether Lin Xiaomiao wanted to or not.

This time, those palace maids dressed up Lin Xiaomiao in more detail, looking at the posture, it was clear that she was going to a beauty pageant.

Lin Xiaomiao wanted to change into a less cumbersome and gorgeous clothes, but the palace maid said that the ladies and princesses of the palaces who participated in the palace were all dressed like this, and if they were too simple, it would be disrespectful to the emperor and queen.

Lin Xiaomiao had to wear the palace dress with a long skirt under the service of the palace maid.
