Chapter 268 Final Exam
It is common for Beijing to be unpeaceful.
Later, I heard some gossip, but it had nothing to do with Song Yue and them.
An Jin was busy changing shops.
Xie Zhijie helped share some of the attacks that wanted to be unfavorable to Song Yue.
Or inquire, or frame.
Song Yue was protected tightly, and the small courtyard did not allow people to approach at all.
Ma Yi and they are also in good spirits.
At the same time, the news of the other two contestants was also investigated in more detail.
Not surprisingly, there are backers in the back.
But Song Yue has several relationships with people in the capital.
Therefore they are restrained from each other.
No one dared to move.
In addition, Xie Zhijie strictly guarded it, and he really survived until the day of the palace competition.
Recently, the gossip about cooking competitions in Beijing has already been talked about, but everyone is more concerned about Song Yue, who has been high-profile before, suddenly low-key.
Although good deeds are still being done, they no longer appear frequently in everyone's sight.
There were also expressions of understanding.
The little girl's family has finally competed to this day, and the last competition is over, and she has to enter the palace to compete, so she naturally has to prepare for life.
Although it is said that the cooking competition is conducted by the whole country, it is not limited to any status.
But the three people who came to the end of the competition, Song Yue was born in a pure peasant family, and the other two were not, one of them was a personal disciple of a certain faction, and the other was a cook from a big restaurant, all of whom were very powerful.
Everyone admires Song Yue even more because of this, an ordinary peasant girl has this kind of ability? It's not easy to get here step by step.
On the day of Song Yue's departure, Master Lu also asked the reliable guards at home to escort him, plus Xie Zhijie's secret guard, and Ma Yi and a group of people accompanied him.
An Jin couldn't go, he had been busy selling shops recently, so he couldn't get out, so there was only one person who accompanied Song Yue.
Ah Zuo Ah right has to stay and look after the house.
Not to mention cloves, this time Qingzhu was so nervous that he didn't dare to take a breath.
After Song Yue got in the car, it was Xie Zhijie, but he touched his body and found that the sachet he personally asked for was gone, so he said that he wanted to go back to find it.
Qingzhu said that he would accompany him.
Song Yue opened her mouth and wanted to say that it was not important, but when she saw Xie Zhijie's serious appearance, she could only shut up, but the time could not be delayed, so Xie Zhijie let her go first, and said to her with a smile: "I'll be there later, you go first." ”
The little official over there also opened his mouth to urge, so Song Yue could only frown and agree, "If you can't find it, it's okay, you stay at home, you must not have an accident at this juncture, I will come back after the competition." ”
Xie Zhijie frowned and wanted to say something, but the officials over there were urging again, so Song Yue had no choice but to look at him, and got into the carriage first, thinking that the speed competition would be over.
Lilac also hurriedly said to Xie Zhijie and Qingzhu, "With so many people here, it must be fine, if you really can't catch up, it's the same to pray at home, our girl will definitely be able to finish smoothly!" ”
Qingzhu was also full of anxiety, "Eh, I understand, you don't have to delay the hour, go quickly!" ”
Lilac didn't talk to Qingzhu anymore when she heard this, nodded and followed into the carriage.
It's really time-consuming.
So they immediately set off, and the convoy went straight in the direction of the palace.
Song Yue couldn't say what she felt, she just felt unsteady, and later she attributed this feeling to a sense of disparity, participating in the cooking competition has always been a goal for her here, wanting to earn an identity and exchange for a talisman, who knows that it is not as simple as imagined, if it weren't for the blessing of the system and good luck, maybe she would be gone when she was in Wucheng.
Now that I've come all the way here, it's finally almost over, and it's normal to feel unsteady in my heart, and I'll get better when it's over.
Song Yue thought so in her heart.
The journey did go smoothly to the palace, and then the carriage could not enter.
Song Yue changed into a sedan chair again.
After walking for a while, the sedan chair was changed to walking, which was really troublesome.
Xie Zhijie didn't follow either.
Song Yue thought to herself that it was better for him to be at home, so he would have to wait for her outside the palace for so long.
In the time of crankiness.
She was led to a kitchen, which was to be made here, and then presented to the temple for the present saint and other officials and their families to taste, and then said that it would be changed temporarily, and that it would be tried in the back garden.
It's on the stage.
So the eunuchs and maids in the palace got busy again and set up a stove temporarily.
Song Yue spent time waiting and waiting.
The other two contestants also had some difficulty fidgeting, but they didn't communicate.
There are palace maids and eunuchs guarding the side.
Song Yue also looked around openly, the palace maids were indeed very young, but the eunuchs were not as white and tender as the inherent impression, but a little tanned.
After waiting for a long time, they could finally come forward and prepare, and they were invited to the stage.
And today's weather is good, the weather outside is very sunny, the wind is good, and there are flowers on the stage, which makes people feel strange and comfortable.
On the left was a bunch of honor guards, with things like parasols, and a lot of tables and chairs, where the nobles and officials of the heavens and nobles and officials were sitting, and the positions of the ladies were a little further back, and there were many people sitting.
Song Yue is in a very stable mood now, and quickly glanced at them with his peripheral vision, and saw the yellow color of the emperor's side, it must be the emperor's family, aren't they two eyes with one nose and one mouth?
Bearded.
It's still dark, and that proves that it's not very, very old.
She sneaked a quick glance, and she really didn't know it.
After that, I kept my head down.
Even if the emperor asked in a somewhat accented tone, "You are the top three in the cooking competition?" ”
The two of them had been informed of the etiquette in advance, so they all replied yes.
The emperor glanced at Song Yue more and called her name, did he hear that she was only sixteen years old this year?
Song Yue also replied in a proper manner, "Yes." "And then there was no look up at all.
Then let them go on stage first.
Song Yue also superimposed a bunch of buffs before coming to the palace, which was a charm that could make people not fall in love with her, for fear of having some connection with the people here.
She still has a point for her looks.
So before going on stage, I heard a concubine making fun of her appearance, saying that she looked a little like someone.
As a result, the emperor smiled and said that he was not as good as Concubine Hui.
Song Yue breathed a sigh of relief, so he hurriedly listened to what topic the old eunuch gave?
The final requirement was to make eight dishes, which had to be the standard of the feast.
This time, the three of them didn't panic.
As soon as I heard the request, I began to choose the ingredients by myself, and no one dragged on.
When Song Yue passed by that Qiao's family, the other party still showed a malicious smile at him, looking full of confidence, but Song Yue didn't panic at all, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, if they really messed up because of a smile, that would be a fool, what if people play psychological tactics?
