The time of three days passed quickly and slowly.

The day of the game came quietly.

Three days later, in the early morning, dou Gonggong appeared at Xia Yi's home. He specially came to take Xia Yi to the palace to participate in the competition.

Xia Yi has settled Xia Yang to huojie in advance, and she has nothing to deal with. She just takes the tea brought by burigoud and goes directly to Dou Gonggong's carriage.

This time, Duke Dou did not send Xia Yi directly to the imperial dining room as usual, but directly led Xia Yi to the emperor's palace.

There are already some people in the palace, but not many. Except for a few high-ranking ministers, the rest are princesses and princesses.

Of course, the old lady of Chu family is also among them.

After all, the marriage between the Chu family and the royal family is involved. Naturally, the old lady of the Chu family will come to be a witness.

Before the northern region mission arrived, Duke Dou led Xia Yi to sit down.

In this partial palace, Xia Yi knew not only Xiao Linmu, but also the emperor and Xiao Linjin, as well as the old lady of Chu.

Xia Yi is naturally arranged to sit down beside the old lady Chu. The table on the right is Xiao Linmu. The distance between Xia Yi and Xiao Linmu is just a small aisle. You just need to stretch your arm to touch each other.

Xia Yi just sat down and wanted to have a word with old lady Chu. Then she heard someone report that the northern region mission had arrived.

As soon as the words were over, people in northern costume entered the door.

Xia Yi's eyes can't help opening, eyes in the head of the body can't move away.

For nothing else, she just met the leader a few days ago.

It was Burigude who gave Xia Yi tea.

Xia Yi's eyes moved with brygud when brygud came in. When brygud stood not far from her, she heard a low cough coming from her right side. Then she withdrew her eyes and looked to the right side.

Xiao Linmu was holding a water cup in his hand and took a big gulp.

Although Xia Yi can only see Xiao Linmu's profile, he can also see his unhappiness from his actions.

At this time, bregude's voice sounded, "bregude has seen the emperor of Xiliang."

He didn't kneel on the ground like the envoys behind him. Instead, he stood up and performed the etiquette of a northern region man, which was very conspicuous among the envoys.

The emperor ha ha of smile two voice way: "three princes don't be polite, sit down."

Xia Yi's opposite is a few empty tables, with their tables placed in a row opposite, brygud sat down at the table closest to the emperor.

It is obvious that bregude is the leader of the northern region mission.

It was not until burigoud sat down that Xia Yi recovered from the shock.

She felt that her brain must have been rusted by the fire in the kitchen these days. She didn't think about it at all.

There are few people from northern regions who come to work in the capital of Xiliang. The time when bregude appears is that the mission from northern regions has just entered the capital of Xiliang, and it's so mysterious that even boss Bi doesn't know where he lives.

He lives in the imperial palace. No wonder Bi Laoda came to see her the day before yesterday. He said that he had searched all the inns in the capital, but could not find the shadow of burigoud. He thought he had left the capital quietly.

Just as Xia Yi was thinking, the emperor put forward the competition directly.

"Third prince, I mentioned to you two days ago that there are cooks in Xiliang who are good at your northern cuisine. How about having her cook for you today?"

"Thank you for your kindness."

The emperor said with a smile: "since it's like this, it's meaningless just to cook. Why don't we add some tricks and have a competition? I'm no better than other dishes. How about your northern cuisine? "

"At your disposal." Bregude nodded.

With that, he looked in the direction of Xia Yi and guessed that the person who wanted to compete with them was Xia Yi.
