Many people outside the palace walls envied the emperor, who ruled all the people and owned the four seas.

But what the people in the palace walls envy is this outsider who only has a few faces.

Why?

The emperor looked at the palace walls full of eyes, but they were actually cages, so it should be because of freedom.

Envy him for acting from the heart, no one can stop him.

Soon after, the rain of books also came.

Her happiness could not be concealed, and the emperor's sorrow seemed to be everywhere like dusk.

"Can I still call you the Left Palace Protector in the future?"

Shuyu stopped walking, and then continued to move forward, standing beside the emperor, with a view of the majestic city walls, where she was the master.

But she wasn't happy.

The emperor glanced at Shuyu, "Is it because I didn't ask a good question?"

"No, Your Majesty is right. Shuyu said softly, "It's just that this is also a difficult question for me to answer and distinguish." ”

"It's not easy to leave the Great Rain Palace?"

The girl shook her head, "It's easy to leave the Great Rain Palace, our Mo clan is like this, if we find someone, nothing matters anymore, the palace master is the same as me, so she will understand me." But I don't feel that I have betrayed the Great Rain Palace, the identity of the Left Palace Protector Envoy, in my heart, I don't know that it represents the past, maybe there will be other people in this position in the future, but I myself have always thought that I am the Left Guardian Palace Envoy. ”

His Majesty the Emperor probably doesn't understand this kind of situation of one mind and two masters, "In fact, this is called betrayal." ”

"Perhaps, but it doesn't matter. ”

"What's important then, what if the Gu Palace Lord doesn't understand you?"

"Your Majesty......"

Shuyu thought for a while, turned to look sideways at her and said: "Gu Yi once told me that it is impossible to truly understand, and he used to work hard to understand our Mo clan, but I know that he has never really understood, so true understanding is impossible, and I don't expect it." ”

The emperor sighed, "You have been brainwashed by that person. ”

"Well, I think he was right about everything. ”

"Cai paper, was he taken it?"

"Hmm. ”

Shuyu generously admitted it again.

Emperor Li couldn't help but feel a little angry and aggrieved in her heart, and her body tightened, but she could only control herself, because she couldn't do anything.

And at such moments,

Shuyu understood another sentence that Gu Yi said, others bully you, not because you have good things, but because you are easy to bully.

When it becomes difficult to bully, no one will bully even if there is something good.

"Your Majesty, we are leaving. Your Majesty, take care. ”

His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like Shuyu as much as he used to, and he definitely can't appreciate Gu Yi, but seeing the two of them together, he is envious in his heart.

And what made her a little angry was that the long-legged cat and Yan wolf were also leaving.

Gu Yidu thought that they were going to stay and eat for a while.

But I probably heard that 'the food here is not as good as embroidered sea bass', so I said that I had to leave.

Gu Yidu sighed, who can subdue this kind of beast?

Eat clean and wipe your little mouth, and immediately leave it behind, unless there is always something delicious.

This task can probably only be completed by Ye Xiaoniang.

Ye Xiaoniang's cooking skills have indeed improved.

The most direct reason is that the body has improved.

However, Luyang did not get better like her body, in fact, Luyang became bad.

In the early morning of this day, the three princesses put aside everything else for the time being, and the first thing was to go to the Imperial Pavilion first.

Last time, she asked Ye Xiaoniang to let go of her 'personal feelings' and focus on the overall situation, but when the palace master ordered a private shopkeeper, there was no problem at all.

But in fact, the two of them still have a personal friendship, and her request is reasonable, but it is a little hurtful, at least it makes Ye Xiaoniang sad.

Considering that Ye Xiaoniang's younger brother was finally found for so many years, it is even more sad.

The third princess also wanted to make compensation, these days some precious medicinal materials have been sent to the Imperial Palace, and the little lady has used them to study the ingredients.

Wait for the third princess to come to the door.

This day is also coming soon.

It could only be one thing for her to come again, and she had just arrived at dawn and before the fog had cleared.

Winter is coming, and the weather is cold, and the little lady has learned to use the aura of Biyang Gong to resist the cold, so it is not difficult to get up.

The third princess sat in the hall waiting for her, and there was a lot less greetings, so she came up and said: "Little mother, my father has been getting weaker and weaker recently, his food has been greatly reduced, and the imperial chefs in the palace are also at a loss......

is the same as Ye Xiaoniang's own guess.

"Don't worry, third princess. "Xiao Niang is much more calm than usual, it is a calmness that the three princesses can't understand, like a man controlling the overall situation, "A few days ago, you mentioned to me that Your Majesty's health is not good, and I was already preparing at that time, and then you sent a lot of precious medicinal materials, I just want to be able to use medicinal materials into the pot, and it can be delicious, so that not only can you treat Your Majesty, but also allow Your Majesty to eat more." So I've been working on recipes all the time. ”

The third princess was overjoyed when she heard this, "The little lady is so powerful, but what do you get?"

Xiao Niang didn't dare to hold it up, "I can only say that I have gained something, because Gu Yi wanted to eat something called hot pot before, and I took a lot of effort to develop a soup base, and Your Majesty may like it." ”

"Because Your Majesty has taken a lot of medicine, you must have a bitter tongue. But the hot pot has a taste, which can make His Majesty taste the fragrance, and put some medicinal herbs that don't taste too strange into it, and it won't change the taste. ”

"The little lady is really my Xu Guo's kitchen god!"

She didn't use the word immortal, here, immortal is a very special title, and ordinary people can't use it.

"Then the little lady will enter the palace with me, right?"

Ye Xiaoniang said: "It's better to do it in the kitchen of Yuzhenxuan, and then send it to Your Majesty when the time comes." If Your Majesty doesn't like it, I'll adjust it in time. ”

Because here is everything she needs.

"Okay, that's better. ”

Ye Xiaoniang nodded.

When she turned around and went to the kitchen, the third princess realized that Ye Xiaoniang seemed to have become a little different, she used to be a weak girl's family, although she made some money by being this shopkeeper, but she was still a weak girl.

It's all about her. In fact, the third princess has always wished that she was a boy, and she has become accustomed to it after so many years of training.

But I didn't expect that today's Ye Xiaoniang was reasonable and reasonable, and she became the one who was in a hurry.

The third princess felt weird, but after thinking about it, she just thought that after Xiaoniang's body improved, her spirit also improved, and her brain power probably came back.

Xiao Yue'er had no choice, when a guest came, she could only get up early, but as soon as the tea was served, the third princess stood up, "I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." ”

Xiao Yue'er gently persuaded: "Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, you just sit here for a while and wait for a while." When the little lady is in the kitchen, she is wholeheartedly, and she will not be distracted at all, what you do is the best, if the third princess goes, talk to the little lady for a few words, it will be distracted. ”

This is not true, and the third princess has always known that her friend is different as soon as she enters the kitchen.

Ye Xiaoniang herself could feel that when she was immersed in cooking, the aura in her body would actually become active, as if they were helping her to practice and help herself make a dish.

In the end, cooking was the way she made the fastest progress in her practice.

However, she doesn't just want to improve her skills, the reason is simple, she likes it, and this has always been what she likes to do.

She was the only one left in the kitchen,

She didn't even need to be given a fire, because she didn't need to, Xiao Niang found out that in fact, Biyang Gong's yin and yang aura was the best for her.

If she wants to heat it, how much it will be hot, how long it will be hot, she can use Yang Aura to achieve the effect, and if she wants to be cold, she can also use Yin Aura to control it.

The pots and pans were all in her mind, and the flavors of the ingredients on display couldn't escape her nose.

Ye Xiaoniang even gradually began to understand that if she controlled the aura more accurately, then the control of the heat could be more wonderful!

This is where she practiced.

And today's dish, she asked some doctors, His Majesty the Emperor is weak, should be supplemented, it is indeed not a big supplement, so to use purple vines, his lungs are not good, always coughing, sometimes coughing up blood, so use the flower of seven leaves, it is best to clear heat and detoxify.

The problem is that the purple vine plant has a very astringent taste, and there are some more bitter green juices when chopped, while the horse wover flower is simply bitter, and it is very bitter when chewed in the mouth.

It took her more than two hours to develop a dish, which was really hard.

But after more than two hours, when it came to the ears of the third princess, I felt that it was a bit fantastical, "So fast? In the past, you didn't develop the best way to embroider sea bass, right?"

Ye Xiaoniang explained: "After the body recovers, the energy is also restored, and I spend a lot of time to cook, and it will naturally be fast." ”

In fact, she didn't say it, it was because of the effect of Reiki.

Reiki, as if helping her with cooking.

"What's the name of this dish?" asked the third princess with the pot in her hand.

"The carbon black fire is red and gray like snow, and the grain yellow rice and white rice are like frost, so it is called hot pot. ”

"Carbon black, fire, red and gray like snow...... Rice with yellow rice is like frost...... Well... The little lady is really elegant, she cooks and inscribes a poem, I went to tell my father that he must like it. ”

Ye Xiaoniang took off her apron, "This dish is really delicious, but it is suitable for noon, as long as the soup base is good, it can be eaten by heating it slightly, when the time comes, I will go with the third princess, you also need sauce to eat hot pot, and the sauce does not have to be prepared in advance, presumably there is one kilometer away from the imperial dining room, I personally asked Your Majesty the taste you want to eat, and I will adjust it on the spot." ”

What else is there to be unhappy about the third princess, it's great to have this friend.

At the same time, I feel a little guilty.

So in the morning and in the early afternoon, the two of them rode together in a carriage to the palace.

On the road.

The third princess asked some questions about the utility of this dish, and Ye Xiaoniang naturally answered them one by one.

"Okay, the little lady is such a careful dish, my father must like it. ”

Ye Xiaoniang also hopes that the emperor can like it, because she hopes that everyone can like the dishes she makes.

"Third princess......" Ye Xiaoniang, who had not taken the initiative to ask, spoke.

The third princess was puzzled, "Huh?"

"These days, Your Majesty's health is not safe, and I heard that the third princess is temporarily helping Your Majesty to supervise the country. Great work. ”

The third princess didn't care, "Eat the king's fortune, be loyal to the king, and besides, I am also a royal family, and I should also consider the people of the world, if I can do my part, I naturally have to do my part." ”

Ye Xiaoniang understood, "There are many state affairs that I can't ask, I understand." But I want to know, what is Luyang doing now?"

The third princess probably knew that what Ye Xiaoniang wanted to ask was if the battle of Luyang ended successfully, would Xu Guo still have the strength to go to the Great Rain Palace to save people.

"Military affairs have always been in the hands of my father, and I am only assisting in some government affairs outside of this part. The third princess also told the truth, "Of course, I have heard some of the circumstances, and I originally wanted to inform Yu Xiaoniang." ”

"Luyang is safe. ”

This assertion at least allows the little lady to put her mind at ease.

At least not to the point of desperation when the country was broken and the capital was lost.

"Earlier, the court and China had been discussing whether to defend Xingyuan or Luyang, although Xingyuan was also in the north, but in the northwest direction, the victory pass was east, the two were far apart, and I tried my best to persuade my father not to give up Xingyuan City. ”

"Now it seems that the main target of the leaving army is Luyang, and they are indeed coming to Luyang. ”

Ye Xiaoniang was indescribably relaxed, "How many people came?"

"Eighty thousand. ”

"Is it almost there?"

The third princess nodded.

"In fact, the size of the army is not the point, the focus is on cultivators, especially cultivators in the realm of Hedao, there were originally three people who left the country, two pavilion masters and the one in the palace, and the famous Great Rain Palace Lord, some people say that it is Yun Sheng, but it is just a rumor. ”

"What about our Xu Guo?"

Speaking of which, the third princess is also helpless, really helpless, no matter how hard she governs the country, if this point is not as good as the neighbors in the north, it is useless.

In fact, Xu Guo is not as good as leaving the country.

I don't know why, in the past hundred years, Xu Guo's national fortunes have continued to decline, not only is it difficult to cultivate any geniuses, but even the most talented eighteenth floor master has not been able to protect Xu Guo for too long.

Originally, an eighteenth-floor owner could guarantee that the country would be worry-free for at least a hundred years.

"There are only two of us, the vice president and the seventeenth floor master. The third princess's tone couldn't help but be a little sad.

Ye Xiaoniang also looked gloomy.

"However, although there are four people who have left the country, they cannot be united, and it is no secret that they fight with each other. The one in the Xiaqiu Palace would never act in conjunction with the Great Rain Palace, and even she, as the most powerful force protecting the palace, rarely left the palace. ”

So in fact, there are three people who leave the country. If there are only three of them, then there is no fear. ”

Ye Xiaoniang is also an immortal cultivator now, she is puzzled, "Why aren't you afraid?"

"Because the vice president is very powerful. The third princess said: "I don't understand how the vice president's path is different from other people's ways in the mouth of immortal cultivators, but the vice president's way is stronger, and on the Xingyuan front, he has always been one to two." ”

"The two pavilion masters of the Great Rain Palace dared to attack, but none of them dared to leave without permission, and those two pavilion masters could only stop the vice president together. ”

"In this way, only the Lord of the Great Rain Palace is left, but we also have the Lord of the Seventeenth Floor, and the Lord of the Seventeenth Floor is also very strong, if the Lord of the Great Rain Palace comes here, the Lord of the Seventeenth Floor is also waiting for her in the city. ”

Ye Xiaoniang couldn't help but nod when she heard this, Luyang City was indeed not that dangerous.

But why is the third princess still very nervous?

And she looked tired, and she had been absolutely tired for the past few days.

"Theoretically......" said the third princess.

"Theoretically? What about practically?"

"Actually, the Great Rain Palace has found helpers, so they dare to attack Luyang in a big way. And how strong this 'helper' is, we still don't know. ”

The two peaks are not like the Great Rain Palace, it has been the enemy of the Xu Kingdom for many years, and any changes are known. But the two peaks are just beginning to emerge, and how powerful they are will not be known until they have been fought.

According to her inference,

Since the two peaks are going to join forces with the Great Rain Palace, it means that the two peaks do not have the strength to destroy Xu Guo independently, so it can be said that those who can have the strength of the Hedao Realm in the behind-the-scenes will never exceed four people.

Otherwise, they wouldn't need the Great Rain Palace.

But four people are also a big number,

Even if there is one more, it will take a lot of effort on their part.

alas

The third princess sighed in her heart, she felt tired, but she didn't despair, just different from many people in the court.

The people in the court are still counting on the immortals of Xiaoyuan Mountain,

In their opinion, even if there are two peaks involved, as long as the immortals of Xiaoyuan Mountain do not watch at the critical time, then in the battle of Luyang, they will definitely be able to defeat the departing army.

The third princess sighed, just because she knew that there were no Xiaoyuan Mountain immortals at all, and the war would be much more difficult than she imagined.

"Little lady, you can live your life with peace of mind, and I will let people inform you if there is any special news. ”

Ye Xiaoniang was surprised, "Thank you, Third Princess." ”

"Including Gu Yi's. ”

These words entered the heart of the little lady, in fact, she also cared a little about keeping it a secret before.

But now I feel a little relieved, knowing that the third princess is not unwilling to help her, but there is just no way.

"Hmm. ”

The little eunuch outside stopped the carriage and gently knocked on the door of the carriage, "Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, it's here." ”

"Little lady, let's go, let's go in. ”

Now the third princess is the person who His Majesty summons the most every day, and among the princesses, she is the most interested in the political affairs of the DPRK and China.

The others are either completely abandoned, or they are like the Seventh Princess, who want to manage but don't know where to start.

Every day, I was a pistachio for His Majesty, coaxing him to smile occasionally in the midst of dense sorrow.

Because of the lack of health, now that the early dynasty has stopped, if there is anything in the country, the three princesses will be found, including how to provide support for Luyang in various places, and this kind of thing is also coordinated by the three princesses.

"Get out!"

As soon as the third princess arrived at the door of the emperor's daily rest, she heard this angry roar, and His Majesty the emperor was almost unable to shout.

Father-in-law Bei drove people away without saying a word, and he looked angry, and when he saw the third princess, he suddenly lost his temper, and said honestly: "I've seen Your Highness." ”

"What's the matter? Father is angry again? But what happened?"

Father-in-law Bei said: "It's not a big deal at noon, Your Majesty still has an appetite and wants to drink porridge, but I don't think that the porridge made by those useless chefs is very bitter, which makes Your Majesty angry." ”

The third princess glanced at Xiao Niang, Xiao Niang naturally understood, and said something to reassure her, "People who have been sick for a long time will have a bitter tongue, don't worry, I have taken it into account." ”

The third princess was encouraged, "Grandpa Bei, let me try!"
