After Xia Yi followed the eunuch all the way, in addition to seeing the emperor, there was another person Xia Yi knew very well, that was the old lady of Chu.

There is no one else.

With the old lady of Chu, Xia Yi's heart is hanging down.

Xia Yi deep breath, slightly bent legs Fu Fu body way: "people's daughter has seen the emperor."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "don't be polite. Sit down."

Xia Yi is stunned. Even if she wants to be rewarded for the meal competition, she is just a folk cook. She shows her a seat without saying anything, which is really unreasonable.

Xia Yi didn't dare to answer immediately, but looked in the direction of old lady Chu.

Old lady Chu said with a smile: "since the emperor asked you to sit, you can sit down."

Then he waved, "come here, sit next to me."

Xia Yi doesn't say anything more, but thanks directly, and sits down beside old lady Chu.

The little eunuch standing next to her also looks and acts. As soon as Xia Yi sits down, she brings her tea. In addition, she also brings several plates, which are filled with candied fruits and other snacks.

After Xia Yi sat down, the emperor asked, "your name is Xia Yi, right?"

Xia Yi nodded and said, "if you go back to the emperor, Xia Yi, the daughter of the people."

"Today's two dishes are very good. Where did you learn?" The emperor a pair of gossip, summer meaning more confused, don't know what the emperor want to do.

Xia Yi replied, "thank you for your praise. Minnv didn't study specially. If you really want to learn from someone, you should learn from my mother."

"Your mother?" The emperor's eyes flashed and said, "I really want to taste your mother's craftsmanship."

Xia Yi droops his eyes, "I thank the emperor for my mother's praise, but I'm afraid there's no chance. My mother is no longer alive."

The emperor clenched his fist and looked at old lady Chu.

Chu old lady this just opened mouth, "Xia Yi is a hard-working child, two years ago after the parents had an accident, then took the younger sister to live together."

The emperor said, "I'm sorry, I'm rude."

"Not bad, Emperor." Xia Yi says in a hurry.

Xia Yi feels that the atmosphere is more and more strange. The emperor doesn't have the airs of the emperor. Whether it's the tone or the expression of his voice, he looks like an elder.

In addition to the fact that she felt that the emperor had been on her for an inexplicable long time, her eyes seemed to be a little sad

But Xia Yi can't feel any aggressiveness from it.

It's a strange feeling.

The meaning of Xia had been asked for a long time, but he could not guess the emperor's intention.

Just before the atmosphere became more strange, the emperor finally said, "you won the first place in the meal competition. What's your plan? If you don't stay in the palace and cook for me, how about the salary according to the highest level of the imperial dining room?"

Xia Yi knelt down immediately and said, "thank you for the emperor's wrong love. It's just that the people's daughter and her younger brother and sister, restaurants and other industries, and there's a big stall where they can't give up. Please let the emperor surrender."

With that, Xia Yi lowered her head and fell on the ground.

This is what she had expected before. If she won the first place, she would inevitably encounter such a problem.

She made a plan early in the morning. Anyway, she refused first. Could the emperor force her because she didn't want to?

In addition to the presence of the old lady of Chu, Xia Yi's confidence is more sufficient. Even if the emperor offends her, the old lady of Chu will help to say two words.

The emperor said, "get up, get up. If you don't want to stay, you will not be punished. It seems that I don't have such a good mouth. "

Xia Yi didn't get up immediately. "If the emperor wants to eat the food made by the people's daughter, he will call the people's daughter to the palace to make it for you. Many dishes are just fresh. If you eat them all at once, you don't really like them. "

The emperor sighed, "you little girl... Come on, get up. I've been kneeling all the time. It's hard for me to talk to you."

"Thank you, Emperor."

The Emperor didn't seem to be angry at all, which was better than Xia Yi expected, and even the old lady of Chu didn't use it.

After that, the emperor really did not mention that Xia Yi should stay in the palace. Instead, he began to gossip.

Then I don't know how to talk about the process that Xia Yi and old lady Chu met.

Knowing that Xia Yi and the old lady of Chu knew each other because of the red bean cake, the emperor was also interested and said that he would have a chance to taste the red bean cake made by Xia Yi.

Unconsciously, the atmosphere eased a lot in talking and laughing.

I don't know if it's Xia Yi's illusion. She thinks that the emperor is not a difficult person to approach. She seems to be more kind than Xiao Linmu.

At this time, a eunuch suddenly announced: "King Mu asked to see you."

"Oh? What is he doing here at this time? " The emperor looked at Xia Yi and said, "let him in."

Summer meaning is not easy to ease over the heart and began to beat up violently.

What was the meaning of the emperor's look at her just now?

Guilty people always think a lot, like Liu Yuchu and Xia Yi.

But Xia Yi's mentality is better than Liu Yuchu's. Rao Shi has been beating like a drum in her heart, but she conceals it well. If she doesn't look carefully, she can't see it.

Xia Yi can't help looking in the direction of the door. After a short time, he sees Xiao Linmu stride into the door.

As soon as their eyes met, they separated as if nothing had happened.

"I have seen my father." After standing still, Xiao Linmu made a salute to the emperor and said.

"What's the matter?" The emperor coughed and said that Xia Yi found that the smile on the emperor's face seemed to have gone away a lot, and his cool temperament was only more than Xiao Linmu's.

The emperor is specially to collect some of his own body of the king's gas, will give Xia Yi a kind of amiable illusion.

Xiao Linmu said: "father, this is the menu and list of today's meal competition. I'd like to present it to you."

"Let it go. Don't worry." The emperor said, "you're here. Do something for me."

"But at my father's command." Xiao Linmu replied.

The emperor said, "it's not a big deal. The competition is over. Just help me send Miss Xia Yi back."

Xiao Linmu and Xia Yi are stunned. They don't know what medicine is sold in the emperor's gourd.

Before Xiao Linmu could reply, the emperor said, "what? Do you think it's too small to do it? "

Xia Yi even said: "the people's daughter can go back by herself. How dare you trouble King Mu?"

The emperor laughed, "look, people dislike you first."

"Dare not, how dare I despise King Mu?" Xia Yi is more and more flustered.

Xiao Linmu said: "please rest assured, I will send Miss Xia Yi back safely."

"That's it." The emperor said, holding his chin in one hand, and closed his eyes. It was a clear order.

Xiao Linmu said: "my son's minister is leaving."

Xia Yi also follows a way hastily: "civilian female leaves."

"Go down." The emperor waved his hand and did not open his eyes.

After Xia Yi and Xiao Linmu went out, the emperor slowly opened his eyes to see the direction of their departure.
