Ruo Suhan laughed: "If it weren't for the fact that my nephew doesn't like to eat, General Fang wouldn't have gone around looking for a celebrity chef for my nephew, but I didn't expect to really find this living treasure." So, my niece brought her. If Sister Lan can serve the emperor and the queen's aunt, it will also be a merit for her nephew. ”

"Your name is Lan Xiaoqiu?" The queen asked.

Lan Xiaoqiu hurriedly knelt on the ground: "People's girl Lan Xiaoqiu." ”

"Are you really that good?" The queen didn't seem to believe it: "If you haven't eaten the food in the palace, plus you haven't eaten a few stable meals with your father on the battlefield, you may be exaggerating." ”

"If the queen doesn't believe it, Lan Xiaoqiu can make a few delicacies for the queen now." Lan Xiaoqiu had already prepared.

"Take her down and get ready." The queen promised to let Lan Xiaoqiu try her skills.

Lan Xiaoqiu entered the imperial dining room for the first time, the imperial dining room was far larger than Lan Xiaoqiu imagined, and what Lan Xiaoqiu didn't expect was that there were dozens of cooks inside, and there were hundreds of people, all of whom worked the board. Lan Xiaoqiu saw the flames here, and listened to the sound of burning oil over there, and only felt the four words 'dragon fight'.

When Lan Xiaoqiu first arrived, no one even looked at her carefully, but the ingredients she brought by herself opened the eyes of the chefs around her: "What is this?" What is it? ”

The ingredients have already been checked, and Lan Xiaoqiu introduced them one by one, and some people disagreed: "Those things are too unpalatable, they are all things that only shepherds eat, and they are vulgar things." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu didn't argue, just made it silently by himself.

Lan Xiaoqiu took an hour to prepare the pastry. It's just that at first, those cooks who didn't think so, now they surrounded Lan Xiaoqiu, and they all watched Lan Xiaoqiu's masterpieces.

"What is this?" The cook who had just said that Lan Xiaoqiu was making 'vulgar things' also came over and pointed to the cake in Lan Xiaoqiu's hand and asked.

"It's mousse cake."

"How?" I saw Lan Xiaoqiu holding a few small mousse cakes cut into cubes in his hands, with pink mousse as the base, mixed with two yellow cake blanks in the middle, the top layer was orange as the top, and the top was smooth and refined, as crystal as the ice surface. On top of the orange surface, a pitted lychee surrounded by cherries is decorated and sparkles like a pearl.

Lan Xiaoqiu carefully held the plate on his chest: "Confidential." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu passed on the mousse cake, and even the eunuch who delivered the food was stunned, and he insisted on sticking his face to the cake.

If it weren't for Ruyun shouting: "Quickly take it up and rub something." The little eunuch still wanted to take a closer look.

Sure enough, the queen was also attracted by the appearance of the mousse cake: "It's really beautiful." What is it called? ”

Lan Xiaoqiu stepped forward and replied: "This is a mousse cake, but the decoration I made is called 'Moonlight and Glow', a circle of red cherries is placed around the mirror surface of a layer of peach juice on the surface, and a lychee in the center is crystal clear, just like the bright moon and sunset, the pearl shines brilliantly on the earth." ”

"Does this taste good?" The queen didn't believe it, Ruo Su said: "Aunt Queen, if you haven't eaten it, this Lan Xiaoqiu will really stutter." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu hurriedly explained nervously: "If Miss Su is angry, Lan Xiaoqiu has only just found the ingredients for gelatin, but he can't find it outside the palace." ”

The queen smiled and took the spoon handed by Ruyun, a spoonful is very easy, and each spoonful can clearly see the layers of cake and cream, the queen took a sip, showing an expression of enjoyment: "It's so delicious, sweet and smooth, with the aroma of cherries and peaches, very sweet and delicious." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu handed over another pastry......

"What is this?" The queen held the small cup in her hand and looked at the yellow surface with a few cute and irregular black dots.

"It's egg pudding. It is baked with a mixture of eggs, cane sugar, cream, and milk, and the black dots on it are the small dots of caramel condensed by the heat, like a cute spotted kitten. Lan Xiaoqiu explained.

"It smells good." The queen also dug a spoonful, and sure enough, it melted in her mouth, full of rich milk and egg aroma.

Full of praise: "I didn't expect ordinary eggs to make such deliciousness." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu served the last pastry and said, "This looks ordinary, and it tastes delicious, this is called a cookie." ”

The queen took a piece and put it in her mouth, it was still fragrant, and the sweet taste lingered on the tip of her tongue for a long time.

"How can it be so delicate? It is more delicate than the offering of the imperial court. The queen asked, pinching a cookie.

"This effect can only be achieved by sifting the flour and fine sugar three times and keeping the temperature at all times during the baking process." After Lan Xiaoqiu finished speaking, she said: "I think the queen must be thirsty after eating these pastries, this is watermelon mint juice." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu handed over a bowl of pink watermelon mint juice, and the queen took a sip: "It's so sweet, with a faint mint taste, it feels a lot cooler." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu nodded: "This watermelon juice is not only nutritious, but also convenient to eat." ”

The queen praised: "This is the first time I have seen a cook like you, I have really never eaten these things in this palace, and they do taste very good." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu was also proud when she was praised by the queen.

"Aunt Queen, leave Lan Xiaoqiu here to make you delicious food every day." Ruosu suggested.

The queen thought for a while but said: "There are already a lot of cooks in the palace, and Lan Xiaoqiu is also your good sister, how can this palace occupy Lan Xiaoqiu?" It's better to let her go back first, and pass her into the palace when the palace remembers. In this way, she does not lose care on both sides. ”

The queen didn't want to put Lan Xiaoqiu by her side, after all, Lan Xiaoqiu's identity was not clear. It can be seen that the queen is not the kind of person who is greedy and reckless. It was this caution everywhere that made her ascend to the throne of the queen.

If Su saw that the plan failed, he had to change the topic: "I don't know what reward the queen's aunt has?" It's more than the Queen's aunt used to give. ”

"Okay, if I ate my niece's daughter, I naturally want to return it to you." The queen said to Ruyun who was standing aside: "Please go to the holy decree." ”

Seeing that the queen said that she wanted to ask for a holy decree, Ruo Su hurriedly asked, "Why does the queen's aunt ask for a holy decree?" ”

"Don't you want a reward? This palace will ask the emperor for your reward, and this emperor's reward is more valuable than the reward of this palace. Like clouds, why don't you go soon? The queen's envoy looked.

Ruyun seemed to be worried: "The queen's safety." ”

"Ruyun rest assured, I am the marshal's daughter and the queen's aunt's good niece, I will protect the queen's aunt even if I do my best, don't worry." Ruo Su naturally knew that Ruyun was worried about herself, so she pretended not to know and said so.

Ruyun had to follow the queen's whisper to ask for the holy decree, and Ruosu hurriedly asked, "What did the queen's aunt say to Ruyun just now?" Do you want the emperor to reward me with a large gold-inlaid sedan chair for me to marry? Ruosu guessed.

The queen smiled secretly: "Secret." ”

After a while, Ruyun asked for a will: "Canonize Ruosu as the Lord of Ripples." ”

Ruo Su hurriedly thanked him when he heard this, and said to the queen: "The queen's aunt really counts her words, this is more precious than ten golden sedan chairs." ”

"The gold-inlaid sedan chair of the county lord will also be prepared, who called the palace only your niece?!" The queen patted Ruosu's hand, but her face was loving.

Coming out of the palace, Ruosu sighed: "Her vigilance is too heavy, it seems that she still needs to plan to send you to the palace." ”

"This county lord's title seems to be very powerful." Lan Xiaoqiu asked.

"Yes, she said that she was invited from the emperor, she is really not simple." Ruosu had no joy on her face, because none of this was important to her anymore.

"So Ruo Su is really her only niece? Does she have children? Lan Xiaoqiu asked.

"I am the only niece, and she has only one son, who is the current crown prince. She, the queen, was also obtained after the death of the Purple Queen. Ruo Su sighed: "The Purple Queen is my mother's sister, the two have a very good relationship, although I have never met the Purple Queen, but I heard that her mother is deeply popular with the people, and often visits the people in person." The Purple Queen didn't like to kill and saved many people, and they said that the Purple Queen was as kind as her mother. Speaking of the first queen, it made Ruosu think of his mother.

"So, does the Purple Queen have an heir?" Lan Xiaoqiu asked.

Ruo Su sighed: "If it weren't for the difficult birth of the prince, she wouldn't have died." The Purple Queen gave birth to a baby boy in difficult childbirth, but the baby boy returned to the West with the Purple Queen. ”

"It's really pitiful, so if the queen can sit in the queen's seat." Lan Xiaoqiu said regretfully.

"It is said that there were constant battles for the queen's throne back then, and it was easy for the queen to win it. But since she became the queen, those concubines are unusually quiet, and they seem to tend to be under her obscenity, it can be said that she is not only the only one in the harem, but also deeply favored by the emperor, it is said that the emperor has not drafted a draft girl for ten years. ”

"No wonder the queen wants a canonization, and the emperor immediately issued an order. Last time I went to the Marshal's Mansion without authorization, the emperor also let it go, it seems that the emperor really likes this Queen Ruo. Lan Xiaoqiu guessed.

"Not necessarily, I heard that the emperor had to kill Queen Ruo in person. Legend has it that she made a big mistake, but later, for some reason, she was only punished for thinking about it behind closed doors, and she was still showing off her power a few days later. Since that time, the concubine has not dared to underestimate her, and she was still a concubine at that time. Ruo Su was only hearsay about the past, and even when she asked her father, her father never told her, and he was very taboo for her to ask about the queen.

The two were sitting in a sedan chair on the way back to their homes but met Li Da, but the sharp-eyed Lan Xiaoqiu recognized Li Da at a glance at the mouth of the alley, and he seemed to be wounded and evading the pursuit of officers and soldiers.

Lan Xiaoqiu begged Ruosu for help, and Ruosu said: "Their brother and sister assassinated the emperor in the Marshal's Mansion, if it weren't for everyone's face, I'm afraid we would have been beheaded by the whole family, but now you want to save him?" ”

"Ruosu, please, he has saved me many times, I can't see death without saving me." Lan Xiaoqiu begged.

Ruo Su thought about it and said to the sedan chair driver: "Stop the sedan chair, we have to go down for a walk." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu and Ruosu found Li Da, who was about to fall unconscious, and the two put Li Da in a box, and when they returned to the Marshal's Mansion, they met Fang Xu on the way.

Fang Xu pointed to the box and asked, "What is this?" ”

"I went to the palace to see the queen, and she rewarded me with something." Ruosu replied.

Fang Xu jumped off his horse and circled the box twice, Ruo Su said angrily, "Don't you believe me?" ”
