"Reporting to the Empress, the Director said that it's not easy to find ingredients …"
"Bring Director to see me!" Xi Jiu Er had especially put on airs today for the sake of this Yin-Yang Chicken that she was about to place on the board. She had already sharpened his blade and could not let it escape.
"As you command." Jin'er respectfully turned around and pushed the door open.
Xi Jiu Er had specifically given Wan Yun a day of leave today, giving her time to hide behind a corner screen later, and watch him take her "revenge with one arrow".
Xi Jiu Er slowly swung her legs, waiting for the fish on the board to be "sliced into pieces" by him.
After a while, Jin'er led a man dressed in red palace clothing and lowered his head. Xi Jiu Er immediately carried up the airs of a Imperial Concubine, her beautiful eyebrows tightly knitted, and her eyes slightly glanced at the man kneeling on the ground.
"You are Director from the royal kitchen?" Xi Jiu Er intentionally let the chill in his throat spread to all directions, and prepared to deal with the enemy in one move, making the enemy's brain freeze from the coldness that he emitted.
The fact was, of course, following this trajectory. The eunuch, upon hearing the chilling cold from his head, instantly softened his body and lay flat on the ground, his legs and stomach twitching uncontrollably.
Xi Jiu Er was very satisfied with the other party's reaction. Seeing that the other party had forgotten to pronounce her words due to fear, she could only continue to ask coldly, "You are Director?"
Director who was so scared that he forgot to answer immediately stammered in reply, "This official … This official is... Catering Room... of... "Director."
Xi Jiu Er continued coldly with a smile at the corner of her mouth, "Since you are a Director of the royal kitchen, then you should know that what I want to eat is within the scope of your profession, right?"
Director kneeled on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, as though he was eager to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.
In his heart, he was thinking that if his master came to the main hall during the summer, all the mosquitoes and flies would be frozen into a freezing point.
He suddenly felt extremely happy, and the smile on his face couldn't be concealed anymore. However, the opposite was the Director whose four limbs were on the ground, and he probably even had the heart to die right now.
Xi Jiu Er looked at Director who was trembling on the ground and felt disdain in his heart. But then, he thought, in this deep palace, who wasn't attached themselves to the battle and held high on the ground? This had already become a secret that no one knew about.
Now that he was imprisoned here by Feng Qing Cheng, in the eyes of all you people, he was like a broken wall with a wall pushed down by everyone. Everyone wants to step on him now, what about a mere Director?
When he reached the end of the story, he realized that the young prefecture lord was actually a legendary b * tch who only knew how to drink green tea after he had taught her a lesson.
This chick really did do a good job. The first trick in front of her, and also focused on buying people's hearts for 500 years, it could be said that wherever there was trouble, there would be Princess Yu Xiaoqie. This was simply a kind little girl that was rarely seen in tens of thousands of years, wasn't there?
However, the truth was not that simple. Only after Xi Jiu Er found out about the princess' background did she successfully tear off a piece of fake skin that was meant to be used for entertainment from her bloody body.
The little princess was a scheming woman, and had been to the palace with her father, who was not highly valued by the sect, several times. In just a few tries, she managed to buy a group of loyal dogs, and after that, she smoothly entered the palace.
It also left a good impression on everyone's hearts with its gentle and virtuous appearance, so this time, Yu Xi was automatically relegated to being a weak person, and on top of his mysterious veil, was wrapped a layer of vicious, poisonous woman's mask.
Even so, when everyone was condemning Xi Jiu Er's poisonous heart, another shocking piece of news had once again spread to the Inner Court.
Because Duke Yu had framed the loyal officials of the imperial court, he was sentenced to death. All his family members were sent to the border, never to step foot in the imperial capital again for the rest of their lives.
Everyone started to guess whether or not this sudden matter of yours was related to Xi Jiu Er ruthlessly destroying flowers. Like this, within a group of loyal dogs, other than helping their master fight against injustice all day, the only thing they did was to make Xi Jiu Er feel dark.
A trace of craftiness flashed through Xi Jiu Er's beautiful eyes. Before this, she intentionally sent someone to inquire about the relationship between the Director in the imperial kitchen and Princess Yu Xi.
Although on the surface, the two did not seem to be related at all, but after Xi Jiu Er had pondered over it for an entire day, she finally came to the following conclusion.
Before the Director of the imperial kitchen entered the palace, he was a chef at the palace of the Rain King. He was kicked out for some reason and entered the imperial palace in the end.
Xi Jiu Er guessed that Duke Yu had probably intentionally sent this person into the palace as a spy, but she had no idea that he would end up like this in the end. Not only did she not use this chess piece, she had even revealed it herself. The meticulous but unfaithful Duke Yu fell into a moment of silence.
Director, who was kneeling on the floor, trembled even more. He trembled his four limbs, and even started to shout loudly, "Of course it's your subordinate's responsibility, but it's true that your subordinates couldn't gather these ingredients for a while. Let's beg Imperial Concubine to bypass this servant!"
Director never thought that this Imperial Concubine, who was rumored to be completely useless, would so brazenly come to retaliate against him.
Since things had progressed this far, if he still could not see through the intentions of the Imperial Concubine, then his death was not too far away.
After allowing his subordinates to injure the eldest daughter of the imperial concubine yesterday, he had thought that a woman who was neglected by the emperor, even if she enjoyed the title and status of imperial concubine, was still inferior to the lowliest palace maid.
However, early this morning, reality was bloody, and he had to pay a heavy price to see the truth.
Early in the morning, after Director finished lazily cleaning up as usual, he dragged the time to enter the imperial kitchens. Unexpectedly, there was already someone waiting for him there.
The person who was waiting for him was none other than the Chief Eunuch, the emperor who was on good terms with him. To this boss who suddenly appeared in the imperial kitchens, a bad thought mysteriously appeared in Director's mind.
The Director pulled him to the side and inquired a few times, only then did he learn a little about the Emperor's internal affairs. It turned out that today, his Majesty the Emperor had somehow heard of his subordinate, the big girl who was bullying the Imperial Concubine.
