The four people who were happily chatting in the room looked up at the door at the same time. A woman wearing a light blue palace dress was standing there. Her round face was filled with anger.
The Old Eunuch said in a low voice, "Since Aunt Hong has come, please pray for your blessings."
When Leng Qiyue heard this, she knew that the status of this person was not low, so she pulled at her smile and stood up. With lowered brows and reserved eyes, she said, "This servant greets Aunt Hong."
Hong Gu snorted and said, "It's almost time for dinner, hurry up and cook for the princess." Recently, the princess has had a bad temper. If she continues to be stingy, all of you will be punished. "
The four of them lowered their heads. Leng Qiyue peeked at the two old eunuchs and discovered that they were both frowning. Could it be that this princess was very hard to serve?
Hong Ye sniffed and said, "What are you guys eating? Give me a bowl, I still need to wait upon the princess for dinner, there's no time to eat. "
Leng Qiyue quickly scooped a bowl of noodles and gave it to Aunt Hong respectfully. After eating a few bites, Hong Ye praised, "Not bad, what is this? "Who did it?"
The old eunuch was about to speak, but Leng Qiyue interrupted him and said, "Aunty, this is called a group of fish swimming in water. This is the fish that this eunuch just created."
Hong Gu looked at the old eunuch and said in satisfaction, "Very good, Eunuch Lin has worked hard. I will tell the general director to reward you."
Eunuch Lin looked gratefully at Leng Qiyue, who playfully winked at him.
Eunuch Lin thought for a moment and said, "Auntie Hong, why don't you give these two girls to your servants? This kitchen needs people to create new dishes and test them out. Seeing that the little girl is around the same age as the princess, what she likes to eat must be something the princess likes to eat as well. "
Hong Gu hesitated for a while, then looked at the two again and asked: "You two seem a bit unfamiliar, did you come back the day before yesterday?"
Leng Qiyue didn't expect that she would accidentally spout nonsense and coincidentally discovered this fact. She hurriedly said, "Yes, Aunt."
"Mm, the new arrivals have not been assigned. Since Eunuch Lin has spoken, you can stay." With that, she lowered her head to eat the noodles, wiping her mouth and leaving after she had finished her bowl of noodles.
Eunuch Lin looked at Leng Qiyue and asked, "Little girl, what is your name? "Why did you say you were going to interview me for it just now?"
Leng Qiyue lowered her head and said, "This servant's name is Xiao Yue, because I'm a newcomer, I can't be too flamboyant. This eunuch's culinary skills are astonishing, how could a silly little girl like me compare to him? "
Eunuch Lin heard this and enjoyed himself. He smiled and said, "Alright, alright, the time is about right. Let's hurry up and cook." The princess likes sweets, but she's tired of them, and I can't think of anything. I think the noodles you made are pretty good. It's a snack from your hometown, right? Do you have any dessert in your hometown? "
Leng Qiyue thought for a moment and said, "My hometown is in a remote village. That place is very poor and only has flour, so this servant only knows how to make a few pastries made from flour."
Eunuch Lin said, "In the past, flour could not be served on the table, but ever since the imperial concubine promoted the way the flour was eaten, the price has skyrocketed. Many large families use it as their main dish. It wouldn't be a disgrace for us to cook pasta for the princess. You do it, I'll be your assistant. "
Leng Qiyue did not say much and just brought in flour, eggs, and noodles. Here again black sugar, no sugar, put in for fear of affecting the color, so she chose honey.
Not long after, a plate of crisp little hops was served. After that, Leng Qiyue made pumpkin pie and walnut cake, and finally found a few apples to grind with a small stone. She collected the juice and filtered it out to make a glass of juice with gauze.
Eunuch Lin looked at Leng Qiyue in surprise and said, "So flour can make so many snacks. It seems like you're not afraid of being scolded today."
Ye Xiao was drooling at the side, but he had just finished eating the noodles. His stomach was bloated, and he could only watch from the sidelines.
Apart from the fruit juice, all the other desserts were superfluous. After the palace maid brought the princess away, Leng Qiyue smiled and said, "Come, let's have a taste. I hope the princess will be satisfied with this."
Eunuch Lin had eaten Leng Qiyue's hand-cut noodles and knew that her culinary skills were not ordinary. That was why she had not tried to get the palace maid to bring the pastries away.
Eunuch Lin took a bite of the fried dough twist. It was crispy and delicious, but not greasy. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. He took another bite of the pumpkin pie. It was soft, sticky and fragrant. The walnut cake was even more delicious. It melted in his mouth and the fragrance of the walnut was also in his nose. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad. It seems that I have to acknowledge you as my master."
Leng Qiyue was flattered and said, "Eunuch must be joking. This servant only has this little trick or two. I don't have any other skills."
Eunuch Lin laughed out loud, "Haha … "Interesting, little girl. If you know when to advance and when to retreat, you must have a bright future ahead of you."
Leng Qiyue lowered her head. She didn't know what to say, so she pretended to be shy.
Eunuch Lin had taken them to cook the food of the other palace maids. Leng Qiyue felt strange and asked, "Eunuch, why are you doing so little? Do the people here eat very little? "
Eunuch Lin smiled and said, "You are a newcomer, I don't know. We are only responsible for the food of those who are of good quality. The food of the soldiers and palace maids is not served here."
"Oh, so it's like that." Leng Qiyue decided to slip away quickly, otherwise, she would have to expose herself when she met those people with status in the future. Eunuch Lin, this servant wishes to go to the toilet. "
"Go." Eunuch Lin happily agreed.
Laughing even more nervous than Leng Qiyue, she shouted, "I'm going too, wait for me."
Leng Qiyue stopped and waited for Xiaoxiao to catch up before pulling her hand and leaving.
After exiting the kitchen, she smiled and said, "Elder sister, you're not going to the toilet, are you?"
Leng Qiyue was startled, then replied, "What a clever and clever person."
As she was walking, she suddenly smiled and said, "You're not a palace maid are you?"
Leng Qiyue staggered a little as she looked at him with a strange expression and smiled.
She continued with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I won't expose you. I don't care what your purpose is, as long as you aren't here to kill people."
Leng Qiyue dryly smiled and said, "I'm not here to kill people. It's just that I heard that this manor belongs to the imperial family, so I slipped in to have a look."
She smiled and said, "No wonder your hands are so white and tender. You must belong to a rich family."
Leng Qiyue was shocked. This child's perception was too terrifying. How could she grow up to be so amazing?
When Xiaoxiao saw the guarded expression on Leng Qiyue's face, her eyes darkened. She said, "My mother was a divine hunter, so I also got infected by her illness."
Leng Qiyue relaxed her heart a little and asked, "Your mother is a constable?" Can a woman be a constable? "
He smiled and said, "Sure, but it's very rare. "My mother was a chivalrous woman in the past, but after she was married to my father, who was a government official, she became a constable."
An idea suddenly popped up in Leng Qiyue's mind. She wanted to go out and be a constable, and try out the taste of capturing a criminal.
Xiaoxiao tugged on Leng Qiyue's sleeve and said, "Sister, I know you're not a bad person. Can we become sworn brothers?"
Leng Qiyue looked into her large and sincere eyes and her heart softened. She smiled and said, "Alright."
When Xiaoxiao saw that she agreed, she immediately jumped in joy. Then, she took out a small box from her bosom. Inside the box, there was a pair of identical rings.
"Elder sister, this is given to me by my mother. How about we each have a wife? "My mother said that her father gave them to her when she was young. It is said that one side is in danger while the other side will know if the two rings attract each other."
Leng Qiyue picked up a ring. The ring was a fiery red color, and although it was small in weight, it was not light. It should have been polished with meteorites. They are magnetic and will attract each other, but whether or not they can predict danger is up for inspection.
Leng Qiyue's left hand was already wearing the Demon Subduing Ring. She put the ring on her right middle finger and said, "Thank you. It's a pity that I don't have a gift for you. I'll definitely make it up to you in the future, okay?"
He smiled and said, "Alright, but my hand is too small so I can't carry it."
Leng Qiyue took off the Peace Festival on her waist, opened it, and hung the ring on her neck as she said, "That way, you can have it. You can wear it on your finger when you grow up."
The two of them smiled happily as they stroked their rings. They didn't notice the group of soldiers that had quietly walked over from behind them.
