Chapter 311

Some ministers outside the palace were surprised to hear that the chef was xiaobaoshan's wife, because they had always heard that xiaobaoshan had gone back to the village to marry a village woman since the defeat a few years ago. Unexpectedly, the village woman was so good at cooking, but she came to the palace to try the ox knife, which could convince all the Royal chefs!

The national master can't say anything. Since it is related to the sacrificial ceremony, he has no reason not to let go. At that time, he still wants to put leaves as the chef.

But he told wanshijie to keep an eye on the leaves. In addition, Jin Xiaoyu continued to stay in the house and use Jin Xiaoyu to contain Ye Xiaoxian.

……

Xiao Baoshan now lives in Qian Qi's residence. After all, he is now Qian Qi's subordinate. Because his official position is not as high as before, he doesn't need to go to the court. He doesn't exist in the capital unless he really needs to use him.

He also heard about leaves.

Although Xiao Baoshan always knew that ye was good at cooking, he never thought it would be so good. He was a rough man and didn't have high requirements for food. He always felt that he could eat a mouthful. When he was a general a few years ago, he also went to the palace and had a Palace Banquet. He felt that it was more delicious than what he usually ate.

Until now, he didn't know that ye's cooking was top.

He also heard that ye was going to be the chef of the sacrificial ceremony. He also thought that he would steal ye away when she left the National Teacher's house.

However, he was not sure in Guoshi mansion, especially in the imperial palace.

Moreover, in his current position, he is not qualified to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

Moreover, he knew that the national master would keep Jin Xiaoyu in the national master's house. Once the leaves were robbed, Jin Xiaoyu would die.

The result of saving one by one is not what he wants to see.

He can only continue to wait, anxious every day in his heart.

……

The sacrificial ceremony finally began.

Leaf and Zhang Deshui went into the palace the day before to prepare and check the ingredients.

The last time she entered the palace, ye lamented that there were so many people in the palace. It was beyond her imagination to go in this day. Let's just check the ingredients. Unexpectedly, a large group of imperial doctors were sent in. They had to carefully check every onion. They were afraid that the onion was poisoned.

Thinking of some film and television dramas he had seen before, ye thought it was dangerous to live in the palace.

Poisoned people are also dangerous. If they are found out, don't they want to kill even the nine families?

In addition to the imperial doctors, there are also various palace maids and eunuchs who come to help wash vegetables and clean up. Although there are many people, each step seems to have been strictly trained. The actions are neat and uniform. When they come, they follow the rules together, and when they go, they follow the rules together.

At the beginning, ye Xiaoxian was worried that the chef would be too busy. Unexpectedly, she just needed to give instructions. After each instruction, someone quickly completed it for her.

Therefore, she was not tired when she entered the Palace this time. She didn't need to do many things herself.

On the first day, make spices, marinate the six animals to be slaughtered, and bake them in the middle of the night.

To ensure the freshness of the ingredients, the roasted sheep and pigs can't be seasoned immediately, but can be roasted again after sacrifice.

So that night, ye didn't need to go out of the palace and lived directly in the palace.

……

It was an old woman who came to arrange accommodation for ye. The old woman was from the Queen's palace.

When the old lady came to the imperial kitchen to pick up the leaves, she didn't say anything. She just took the leaves to the back palace and lived in the wing room where a row of maids lived.

After all, Ye is not a real chef. She came here temporarily. It would be nice to live in the backyard.

But the treatment of Ye is higher. She can live in a room by herself. The old mother also arranged two palace maids to serve her.

Because it was midnight, everyone was in bad spirits, and so was the old mother.

She yawned and confessed to ye: "if you need anything, just say it. Also, this harem is where the concubines live. Don't go around. If you offend any concubine, you'll be punished."

Ye Zi said, "I've been busy all day. It's the middle of the night. I'm not in a hurry. It's good to get me a bucket of water to take a bath."

Mammy also arranged for the two maids to fetch water and take a bath for the leaves.

The leaf was really sleepy. When she was soaking in the bucket, she almost fell asleep. The two maids were also sleepy. Later, one of them probably felt something was wrong. She opened her eyes and saw that the leaf was asleep in the bucket. She hurried to wake up the leaf and wait for the leaf to get up and dress.

Leaf put on his clothes and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, the two maids woke ye up. After a night's rest, the two palace maids looked very good. Seeing that ye was a little lady, they helped her comb a lady's sideburns.

The palace also had clothes for the leaves to change. After the leaves were groomed and changed, the two palace maids suddenly froze and looked at the leaves in surprise.

Leaf puzzled, hurriedly asked: "what do you think I do?"

"You look like..." one of the maids said, but was interrupted by another maid.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The maid had to shut up.

After a while, the old lady also came. The moment she saw the maid in waiting, she was stunned for a while.

"You..." she said blankly.

Last night, she came to pick up the leaves in the middle of the night. She didn't look carefully with lanterns. Now she was surprised to see that the leaves had been groomed and changed her hair and clothes during the day.

The leaves look like... Empress dowager?

But the people in the palace were cautious and dared not speak in front of the leaves, so the old lady shut up.

Ye thought these people were really boring, and she didn't bother to ask.

However, she looked carefully in the mirror to make sure that there were no acne on her face, no problem with her makeup and no broken skirt.

Under the guidance of the old mother, she went to the imperial kitchen again.

On the way out, she met some concubines' sedans. As soon as she saw them, the old mother quickly knelt aside with Ye, bent down and waited for the concubines' sedans to pass before she could move on.

Ye didn't feel very tired when she was busy in the imperial kitchen. Now she was very tired when she bent down.

After walking a little further, ye suddenly heard someone calling her, "ye?"

She turned around and saw Li Chengru coming.

When Li Chengru saw the leaves, his eyes were also a little surprised.

The old lady knew Li Chengru and had to bend down to salute with Ye, but she was stopped by Li Chengru: "don't be polite. I just want to talk to Ye."

Mammy hesitated.

Li Chengru asked, "why? She's my friend. What's wrong with me saying a few words to her?"

The old lady had to step aside, but still stared at them warily, as if she had to listen to a corner.

Li Chengru didn't care about the old mother, but stared at the leaves.

Ye couldn't help asking, "what's the matter? I found that all of you have been staring at me recently. What's wrong with me?"

Li Chengru opened his mouth and saw that the old mother had been nearby, so he didn't say it directly. He just said, "no, I just think you seem to have changed a lot. Maybe it's the reason for this hairstyle and clothes."

"Is it ugly or beautiful?" Ye Xiaoxian joked.

"Naturally, it has become beautiful."

When Li Chengru first saw ye, she was a small civilian woman in the county. She opened a small restaurant and dressed up to the standard of a small county. Later, he fled and became disheartened all day.

When she arrived at the Tianshan tribe, she wore local clothes again. Now in the capital, just dress up a little, and the whole person will change greatly.

Before, he vaguely felt that Ye Zi looked like someone and couldn't remember for a while. Now he finally remembered her dress.

It's just that the man has a high position and power, which is not discussed by ordinary people.

Seeing Li Chengru praising her, ye Xiaoxian must have no problem with her current dress. She's really afraid that she's wearing the wrong clothes and offending someone in the palace, such as the emperor's dead concubine.

"Seventh Lord, why are you in the palace? Isn't this the back palace? How did you get in?"

Li Chengru smiled and said, "my mother is still in the palace. I'll visit her and naturally I can enter the palace."

"Oh." Li Chengru's mother should be a princess now.

Li Chengru asked her again, "I heard you are the chef of this sacrifice. It's very good. I haven't eaten your meal for a long time. The food for tonight's dinner must be delicious."

Ye Xiaoxian smiled embarrassed: "just like you like it. I heard that people in the palace are the most picky eaters."

"That's just to choose delicious food. The food you make is delicious."

Ye Xiaoxian smiled again.

Li Chengru formally asked, "how are you recently? General Xiao has always wanted to see you, but he can't see you."

"Very good. Let him not worry about it. The treatment of the National Teacher's house is not bad." Ye Xiaoxian is serious.

"Well, I'll convey your words to him after I see him."

Ye Xiaoxian looked at Li Chengru again and said, "I said don't worry about me, but also don't worry about me. You let him do what he thinks is right without being restrained by me. If he did something shameless for the world because of me, I would hate him. I don't want to be a sinner!"

Li Chengru looked at Ye Xiaoxian with complex thoughts on his face. After a while, he said, "OK, I'll convey this sentence to him."

Ye Xiaoxian said again, "it's getting late. I should get busy. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to do in the kitchen. Your sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. Go and prepare it quickly. By the way, if you have endless food tonight, you can take one back to Baoshan and let him try it."

Li Chengru nodded.

Leaf turned and left, and went to the imperial kitchen with the old mother.

Li Chengru also quickly left here to avoid discussion.
