Chapter 385

The emperor seems to have to ask an answer, so he stares at Xia Yi, waiting for her to answer her question.

The whole hall is very quiet, even the sound of breathing is light and invisible.

After a few breaths, Xia Yi suddenly raised her head, looked directly at the emperor and said firmly, "he can't get a few meals in my eyes."

"How many meals do you want to exchange for him now?" Asked the emperor.

Xia Yi said seriously: "if you don't think it's enough, emperor, you can add some chips. If I can do it, I will try my best."

The emperor was noncommittal, just bowed his head and said in a low voice, "it's very stubborn."

The voice of this sentence is very small, only the old lady of Chu and the South Princess sitting around the emperor heard it.

Xia Yi and the emperor separated by two people's distance, did not hear what he said clearly.

She tilted her head slightly. Just as she was about to ask, she saw the emperor's head raised again.

He put down his chopsticks and said, "let's make a bet. If you win, I will withdraw the marriage according to you. But if you lose, you are not allowed to mention it any more. Besides, you have to cook for me in the palace for a year. Do you dare to gamble? "

"Good." Xia Yi agreed without hesitation.

"You dare to gamble with me before you ask me about it?" The emperor said.

Xia Yi replied: "in any case, I will seize this opportunity. You have given me the opportunity, but if I don't seize it, I really want to see him marry someone else with my own eyes."

The emperor nodded approvingly and said, "yes, I have courage."

Then he said the bet.

In a few days, there will be a delegation from the northern region. What Xia Yi wants to do is to compete with the people of the northern region. The people of the northern region will judge Xia Yi. Xia Yi wants to win the people of the northern region and win the first place.

It doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to listen to for the first time.

It's just cooking. Xia Yi is good at cooking.

But Xiao Linmu frowned directly.

The northern region is to the north of Xiliang. Although it is not too far away, the taste of the people in the northern region is totally different from that of Xiliang and Nanyu.

Although the eating habits of the southern region are slightly different from those of Xiliang, their cooking habits and tastes are also similar, only slightly lighter than those of Xiliang people.

But the northern region is totally different. Their cooking methods are very different from those of Xiliang.

Eating habits are extremely different.

Xia Yi is good at cooking, but according to the taste of Beiyu people, it may be completely different.

In addition, compared with the people of the northern regions, the people of the northern regions judge and want to win, which is just the degree of wishful thinking.

It's said that it's better than the kitchen, but Xia Yi's original heart is to put back some.

Even if the tastes and cooking methods are different, she is not too worried about the changes.

Therefore, Xia Yi and the emperor's gambling agreement is so settled.

Out of the palace, Xia Yi carelessly in front of Chu Siyi on Xiao Linmu's carriage.

Chu Siyi's face was blue and white.

Xiao Linmu's eyebrows are twisted from beginning to end. Even when he gets to the car, he doesn't look better.

Xia Yi also knows that today's bet is too reckless.

So after getting on the carriage, Xia Yi went to the corner of the carriage, very clever.

Xia Yi just sat down and saw Xiao Linmu get up and sit down next to her.

Xiao Linmu is very close to him. Xia Yi turns her head and faces him.

Xia Yi sees three points of anger from his eyes, and the rest is full of chagrin.

"Why not be obedient?" Xiao Linmu stares at Xia Yi's eyes to ask a way, the voice presses very low.

Xia Yi has always been the most stable one. Xiao Linmu's intention to let Xia Yi enter the palace today is not to make Xia Yi oppose the emperor.

He just prepared for the worst. If the emperor mentioned the engagement, he would not care so much. Even if he annoyed the emperor, he would tell him what he really thought.

But today the emperor's attitude to Chu Siyi was very strange. At first, he seemed very interested, but after asking a few words, he was not cold.

As for the reason, Xiao Linmu couldn't figure it out.

Because the old lady of Chu had sent people to the small village on the border of southern regions before, and she also got some items of the old lady of Chu family from there. It's time to confirm her identity.

Although I don't know the reason, Xiao Linmu also knows that things may turn for the better.

Xia Yi blinked, her long eyelashes flickered. She was silent for a moment, and then she seriously replied, "I see it. Even if I don't mention it this time, I'm not sure I'll mention it next time. Ten thousand steps back, even if there is something wrong with her identity, Xia Yibao is not sure that there will be another miss of the Chu family. The engagement is a hidden danger in the end. It's not easy for the emperor to give us a chance this time. "

Xia Yi's words are all hammered on Xiao Linmu's heart. He is silent for a moment, then reaches out his arm and tightly encircles Xia Yi in his arms.

For a long time, Xiao Linmu said: "you are not afraid to win?"

Xia Yi is held in her arms by Xiao Linmu. She can't see her expression clearly, so she can only reach out and pat Xiao Linmu on the back heavily. "Don't you believe my cooking?"

Xiao Linmu slowly released Xia Yi and gave a light smile. He put his hand on Xia Yi's face and gently pinched it. He replied, "it's not that I don't believe in your cooking skills, it's that I don't believe in the taste of people in northern regions."

Xiao Linmu's reply is serious. Xia Yi can't help laughing.

Xia Yi said: "don't worry, I've known about the taste of the people in the northern regions. It's not a problem to make a few dishes."

"Really?"

Seeing that Xia Yi said so easily, Xiao Linmu still couldn't believe it.

There have been caravans in the capital of Xiliang, southern and northern regions.

The caravans in the northern regions are very different. They never eat in restaurants and taverns. Instead, they bring their own cooks, or even special food materials. They have no intention of accepting Xiliang's eating habits.

"It's the first time I've seen you so nervous." Xia Yi laughs, "don't worry, even if I lose, there is no other way. I can't take back the gift, but doesn't mean that others can't? At least, if the emperor can promise to make a bet with me, it means that the matter of marriage granting is not fixed, is it? "

Xia Yi said and winked at Xiao Linmu.

"You." Xiao Linmu helplessly shakes his head and grabs Xia Yi back to his arms again. "You can't be so reckless in the future."

"Don't worry, be measured." Xia Yi nodded cleverly and then yawned a long time.

It's been a whole day of war and chaos. She's a little sleepy after she really returns to peace.

"Sleep when you're tired." Xiao Linmu holds Xia Yi's forehead and leans her head on her chest.

With such a warm human pillow, Xia Yi directly closed her eyes and went to sleep.
