"What? Tell them to go out?" Xiao Tian thought he had misheard, "They are all palace chefs, and letting them go out at this time will cause a lot of dissatisfaction."

"I don't care, you're here to protect me, and now someone wants to harm me, don't you care?"

Xiao Tian's expression immediately became serious, "Who wants to harm you?"

Zhang Zezhen took a step closer to Xiao Tian and whispered, "Just now, someone secretly took out a packet of medicine wrapped in paper from his body and prepared to put it in the water, but it happened that I went over, and he stopped."

"Who is it? I'll take him out."

"I suspect more than one person because he glanced at the other side, but there are several people, I can't tell them exactly, you have to call them out, I have to recheck the water."

"I see!"

Coincidentally, Father-in-law Xu came to the kitchen to visit everyone.

"Grandpa Xu!"

"Guys, how's the food arranged? In a while, the emperor and the ministers will be seated, so you can pay attention."

"Yes, father-in-law!"

Xu Lai walked up to Xiao Tian and Zhang Zezhen, pretending to be a checker, and asked, "How are you doing here?"

Zhang Zezhen said with a very serious expression, "Please rest assured, father-in-law, it will be fine soon."

Looking at Xiao Tian again, he directly gave his father-in-law a look, and then said to everyone, "Father-in-law Xu has something to find you, and Miss Zhang and I can complete the rest, thank you for your hard work!"

Xu Lai understood what the two of them meant, so he responded, "Ah! Yes, the emperor has been selecting a new imperial chef recently, and I need to know about your situation, so please come with me."

"Really? Father-in-law Xu?"

"If that's the case, then I'm going to glorify my ancestors!"

"yes, yes!"

"Listen to me, the emperor loves the people of the world, and hopes to select more folk chefs to work for the court, but only those who are innocent and loyal to the court must be from a clean background."

"The emperor is wise!"

"The emperor is wise!"

"Alright, everyone, please come with me!" Xu Lai turned to Zhang Zezhen and said, "There are two Lao here, if you need help, please call me in time."

"Please rest assured!"

Xu Lai led a bunch of people to another hut and sent several palace agents to strictly guard it.

"It's okay now, Grandpa Xu is really timely!" Xiao Tian took a deep breath.

"Hurry up and bring me a bowl of water, and I'll check it."

"Hmm!"

Xiao Tian scooped a spoonful of water from various places according to Zhang Zezhen's instructions, and never dared to be sloppy.

Zhang Zezhen also took out the tools prepared in advance and checked the water quality and dishes again, after all, the emperor's life is great, and if there is a little difference, the life of the whole family will be implicated. c

Xiao Tian looked at Zhang Zezhen's serious appearance, and couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that when this girl is still serious, she usually knows that she is against me, hum!

"There is no problem with the water and vegetables, it seems that he has not had time to poison it yet."

Hearing Zhang Zezhen say this, Xiao Tian was much more relieved.

"Are you sure?"

"yes, pretty sure!" Although Zhang Zezhen uses ancient tools, the verification idea is a modern method, and there will be no half-point difference.

"Okay, what's next?"

"Of course it's cooking!"

"What can I do for you?"

"You? Sit there!"

"Huh?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you come to protect me?"

"But you don't need my protection now, do you? I can help you wash the vegetables, cut the meat and stuff."

Zhang Zezhen put on a look of disbelief and said, "I don't dare to drive General Lao Xiao, if the emperor sees me as a knife worker, he must let me go immediately."

"Tell you, don't look down on people!"

"Hey, hey! Okay, no more joking with you, I'm going to do something! Just sit next to you, remember! Protect me!"

Xiao Tian said with a dissatisfied face, "Got it! Hmph!"

After that, Zhang Zezhen began to officially stir-fry, she took a deep breath, and began to recall the operation steps of Feng Feiyuan's wish to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Xiao Tian sat on the side, but he didn't feel the slightest boredom, and he fantasized in his mind: If Zhenzhen was his wife, wouldn't he be able to eat such delicious food every day? Besides, there can be someone who fights with himself, which is beautiful.

But after thinking about it, he immediately stopped his thoughts, people are now married wives, and they can't mess around.

Zhang Zezhen poured vegetables, medicines, and accessories into the pot in order and stir-fried them, and after a while, the fragrance came to his nose.

"Is this dish so delicious?" Xiao Tian asked incredulously.

"Of course! Haven't you eaten it?"

"Nope!"

"No, you're a general, a first-class official, how could you not have eaten this dish?"

"I usually fight outside the war, and I rarely stay in the palace, and I usually come back to report a message, and I won't stay for a long time."

"I see! Then this is the first time you have participated in a grand palace banquet, right?"

"Sort of!"

"Then you have to thank me!"

"Thank you for what?" Xiao Tian looked puzzled.

"If it weren't for me, would you be able to eat the delicacies of this world? Aren't you still wandering outside?"

"Wandering?" The more Xiao Tian listened, the more angry he became, and he said angrily, "Who do you say is wandering? I was ordered to protect Prime Minister Lu, and I have official business, so you don't frame me!"

"Look at your angry look, let me be right? Don't you want to go out every day?"

"General Ben is ambitious in all directions, and as a member of the imperial court, how can he live a pampered life every day?"

"Humph! Still dead and don't admit it! You're so old, hurry up and get married, and find someone to take care of you!"

"Be less nosy! Hurry up and cook your meal!" Xiao Tian turned his head and didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Zezhen.

"Oh, don't be angry! Talking and playing, look at the way you don't tease."

"Where am I angry? I'm asking you to cook quickly, Your Majesty, they're still waiting."

"Don't worry! It's almost ready."

"Anyway, who's going to serve this dish later? That's all there is to us......

"Well! Of course it's you!"

"What? I'm a great general, how can I serve dishes to people?"

"Isn't there no one?"

"Aren't you human?"

"I'm cooking here! Are you going to do it?"

"I ......" Xiao Tian was speechless, "No, I won't go!"

"If you don't go, I won't go, are we waiting for the emperor to come and serve it himself?"

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The two immediately shut their mouths, and Zhang Zezhen teased, "It seems that the emperor really came to serve it himself!"

Xiao Tian: ......

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"What a strong fragrance, Miss Zhang, Feng Fei wishes you have done a good job?"

"Oh! Wait a minute, I'll see." Zhang Zezhen opened the lid of the pot, looked at the dishes inside, and then replied, "If you go back to the emperor, it's already good."

"Okay, okay, I can't wait."

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, we'll serve you the food later, now ......."

"I don't need to explain, I know it all! Xu Lai has already told me the cause and effect just now."

"The Queen has arrived!"

"The Queen is here!"

I saw a graceful and luxurious woman walking towards them, followed by more than a dozen palace maids, so angry.

"Chen Xiaotian knocked to see the queen, and the queen is a thousand years old

Years old and thousand."

Zhang Zezhen also hurriedly said according to the cat and the tiger: "The people's girl knocks on the queen, and the queen is a thousand years old and a thousand years old."

"Flatten!"

"Empress Xie!"

"Queen, this is the cook I told you about."

"Really? You're Zhang Zezhen?"

"Exactly."

"The prime minister said that you have made a good Feng Fei wish, and this palace really wants to taste it."

"The prime minister has won the award, and the folk girl is just painting cats and tigers, and there is still a big gap between them and the golden imperial kitchen."

"By the way, I heard the emperor say that you are short of manpower here, so I sent a trusted person in my palace to help you."

When Zhang Zezhen heard someone coming to serve the dishes, she immediately said happily: "Thank you to the emperor, the maiden is thinking about how to serve these dishes."

"That's easy! Hurry up and follow Miss Zhang's instructions and serve these dishes to the important ministers in turn."

"Yes! The Queen!"

Zhang Zezhen didn't dare to slack off, so he served all the dishes and fruits, and then handed them to them.

"Miss Zhang, when the kitchen is done later, you can come over and eat with us!"

"No, no, the folk girl is just a grass people, how dare she sit at the emperor's banquet."

"Well, you'll soon be the imperial chef of the palace, and it's okay to taste the dishes you make, you say? Queen?"

"What the emperor said is true! Miss Zhang, you are responsible for the safety of this dish, so naturally you have the responsibility to taste it, and this is your responsibility."

"Huh?"

"Don't shirk it, I'll trouble General Xiao to take Miss Zhang to the banquet to taste it later."

"Obey!"

"Alright, Queen, let's take our seats too!"

"Congratulations to the Emperor and Empress!"

"The people send off the emperor and queen!"

After seeing the two leave, Zhang Zezhen was also relieved, but she was still very happy, the queen came in such a timely manner, otherwise this dish would really not be served. Xiao Tian was also able to escape.

With the help of the palace maids, the dishes were served one after another, and the banquet was ready to begin.

Xiao Tian saw that it was almost over, so he said to Zhang Zezhen, "The banquet is about to start, I'll take you over!"

"Hmm! Okay!"

At this time, Zhang Zezhen suddenly remembered Xu Yue, if only he could be by his side and taste it with him.

"What do you want?" Xiao Tian looked at her absent-minded appearance and was very puzzled.

"It's nothing, let's go!"

In order to avoid attracting too many people's attention, the two entered through the side door of the banquet, where no one paid much attention to them.

After entering, the two of them chose a small corner and sat down.

Zhang Zezhen looked at the dishes served, and first checked the color of the dishes to see if there was any difference from the original cooking, and he must ensure safety.

"How?"

"It should be fine."

When the emperor saw that the two of them had already sat down, he raised his glass and said a congratulatory speech: "Today, thank you Aiqing for coming, this banquet is specially to thank my emperor for finding the recipe of Feng Fei's wish to solve my head disease, I am willing to share with you, I hope that Zhu Aiqing can prolong his life and be loyal to the court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Alright, Aiqing, please take a seat! How about a taste of this Feng Fei wish?"

Everyone picked up the chopsticks and tasted them one after another, and Zhang Zezhen also hurried to taste the taste, for fear that he would deviate.

"Oh, it's a delicacy in the world!"

"I've never eaten anything so good."

"Yes, yes, I remember that when the Golden Imperial Chef was here, he didn't have this skill!"

The emperor and queen also tasted it, nodded with great satisfaction, and glanced at Zhang Zezhen.

"Dare to ask the emperor? Which chef made this dish? It's so beautiful? It's worth this life if you eat it!"

"It seems that this Feng Fei is not willing to do it

It often meets the taste of Zhong Aiqing!"

"Satisfied, so satisfied!"

"If you want to say that this imperial chef can be a folk girl, if you can find her, the first thing is to thank Uncle Huang, and the second is to thank Prime Minister Lu."
