There were two eunuchs standing outside the door, the older one was about thirty years old, with a wide face and big ears, and a pair of squinted eyes looked at Luo Qianhuai's face repeatedly. The younger ones were much thinner, and they stood half a step behind the older eunuch with their eyebrows raised, without any expression on their faces.

"You're Qiao Jin'er?" The older eunuch looked at it for a long time, and a smile appeared on his lips.

It turned out that the two of them didn't recognize the little palace maid.

But it's also normal. She had already learned from Jin'er that there were eight or nine thousand palace ladies on the roster in Dayu Palace, and the number of eunuchs was less than that of palace maids, but it was also very limited. So many people are scattered in the huge Weiyang Palace, unless they are in the same palace room, or they often deal with each other, most of the other palace people are unknown.

This Jiaofang Palace is already deserted, and the little palace maid Jin'er came here directly, and there are not many people who know her.

Since the people in front of her would mistake her for Qiao Jin'er, it means that they have nothing to do with her late return.

She didn't answer directly, but just made a respectful gesture and bowed her head: "Lord Neiguan came to the Jiaofang Palace, thinking that there must be something, I don't know if the maid can help?" ”

The eunuch raised his eyes and looked behind her, saw the dilapidated place in the door, and sighed in his mouth: "Oh, how can such a flower-like little appearance be assigned to such a place to suffer hardships?" ”

His face was full of regret, and his expression was slightly exaggerated, so Luo Qianhuai instinctively felt that something was wrong.

She immediately said with a straight face: "Everywhere is to do things, and the servant doesn't feel bitter." ”

"Ha, haha." The eunuch didn't seem to expect her to speak like this, so he laughed slightly, turned around and said to the eunuch behind him: "Look, you're still a sensible person, maybe you are worthy of such a creation." ”

The little eunuch was expressionless, but at this moment, his eyes swept lightly on Luo Qianhuai's face, and then he lowered his eyes and bowed again: "The young eunuch is very right. ”

The older eunuch had long been accustomed to his attitude, and turned around disapprovingly, seeing that Luo Qianhuai was still the same indifferent appearance as before, and he didn't think of surprise because he mentioned the word creation, and couldn't help but look up to her two points more.

Because of this, he got down to business.

"I've checked the recent palace registers in the last two years, are you from Qian Tang? Before entering the palace, he set up a food stall with his grandmother? ”

Qian Tang is Hangzhou in the previous life. The place where Luo Qianhuai was abandoned when he was a child is really in a small town near Hangzhou.

Of course she understood that the other party was talking about the resume of the palace maid Qiao Jin'er. Since the investigation is so detailed, it shows that most of what they want her to do is related to her past.

She can't admit it directly, and she can't deny it: "I don't know if the young inspector asks this, but what does the servant need to do?" ”

The smile on the eunuch's face deepened: "Do you know how to make Qian Tang snacks and side dishes?"

That's the right question. Even if Qiao Jin'er stood here now, it was impossible to have more than she would.

In his previous life, Luo Qianhuai had been living in Suzhou and Hangzhou since he was a child, and he couldn't be more familiar with Hangzhou cuisine.

She is also a delicious person, and she has studied and cooked all kinds of famous dishes that have fallen for thousands of years, especially all kinds of special dim sum, what wine-stuffed balls, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, Dingsheng cake, scallion stew, Wushan butter cake can all be made decently.

It's just that he has to keep a modest and low-key mouth: "The maid can only cook some wild food in the market, and the description is vulgar"

"It doesn't matter." The eunuch's mood seemed to be very good: "What I want is the taste of the market." Come with me. ”

Luo Qianhuai naturally didn't want to go. First, she was afraid that she would be accidentally recognized and exposed, and she was also afraid of causing trouble to the real Qiao Jin'er, but the other party obviously did not allow her to refuse, so she turned around and left as soon as she spoke. The little eunuch who had been standing by the side from beginning to end didn't move, but only made a "please" gesture to her.

The current situation did not allow her to hesitate any longer. If you shirk or continue the stalemate, when the real Qiao Jin'er returns, I am afraid that both of them will suffer.

She followed the two of them all the way, and soon reached the vast square in front of the front hall, surrounded by guards wearing heavy armor and holding spears, as well as many courtiers with high crowns and big sleeves, hurrying under the guidance of the palace people.

Luo Qianhuai was a little weak-hearted and weak-legged, and he kept his head half-down when he walked, and he didn't dare to look around at all, for fear of being recognized as an impostor.

But she soon found that the young eunuch who walked in front of her seemed to have a high status, no matter who she met, he could speak, and the other party's attitude towards him was warm and flattering. She and the eunuch next to her were like two transparent ornaments, no one paid attention to them at all, and no one came to check them.

Luo Qianhuai's courage grew unconsciously. It's hard to walk in Weiyang Palace openly, wouldn't it be a loss if you didn't take a few more looks? Thinking of this, she simply raised her head, although it was inconvenient to look around, but just by looking directly, she could see a lot of scenes.

Oh, the copper cylinders on both sides of the front hall are really huge, I'm afraid they can hold three or five tons of water? Ah, a group of palace maids and eunuchs who came from afar, all of them were holding food boxes in their hands, right? Looking at such a long string, I am afraid that there will be two or three hundred dishes, which are obviously all court food that belongs to the emperor alone. It's a pity that she hasn't eaten water and rice since last night, and she is even hungrier now.

The taste of hunger was not good, and her mind to sightseeing was much lighter. The eunuch in front of him stopped at this moment, greeted the old eunuch and his party on the opposite side, and bowed to the ground before they got close: "Eunuch Jiao's good day." ”

He did all this, and the little eunuch behind him hurriedly pulled Luo Qianhuai and bowed deeply together.

Although Eunuch Jiao's hair was half gone, his face was still ruddy, his hands helped him up weakly, and a pair of eyes turned slightly on Luo Qianhuai's face: "Young Eunuch Zheng doesn't need to be polite. This person was added to His Royal Highness the Eight? ”

"The eyes of the chief eunuch are like torches!" The young eunuch Zheng borrowed his strength, stood up straight, leaned into his ear and said: "Your Highness has not thought about tea and dinner for the past few days, and has lost a lot of weight when I see it, and I have already sent several waves of useless cooks, and seeing that no one is available, I really can't make this decision."

"She's from the Shang Diet?" Eunuch Jiao frowned, and looked at Luo Qianhuai's palace maid's clothes suspiciously, which was not the unique color of the palace people in Shangshan Prison.

"Not really." Young Eunuch Zheng smiled bitterly and rubbed his hands, hesitated for a moment but still said truthfully: "Your Highness's previous meals were mostly handled by the king's one. You also know that she was born in the Qiantang market, and the slave maid thought about finding a maid who could cook snacks over there, and maybe she would meet His Highness's taste, but this matter can only be done but not said."

"I see." Eunuch Jiao's color softened a lot: "Young Eunuch Zheng is attentive. His Royal Highness's body is extremely important, even if he has committed some taboos, it is understandable. ”

"Eunuch Xie!" Young Eunuch Zheng bowed deeply again, and wiped away a few drops of cold sweat with his hand on his forehead when he got up: "The slave and maid retire."

He turned around and glanced at the two behind him, turned and left.

Luo Qianhuai was in a trance, and was pulled by the little eunuch, before he retracted his gaze and followed with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

She just glanced curiously at the two lines of eunuchs following behind Jiao Dajian, but she didn't expect to see a pair of cold eyes that were extremely familiar.
