Chapter 327

Li Chengru stayed in the tribe for two days.

Mainly to check the tribe's business. After ye leaves the tribe, the morale of all of them is not high. In addition, Li Chengru is not here, and they don't know how to deal with the affairs of the tribe.

Li Chengru reorganized with them. Now the leaves are gone, and the business of beef jerky is mainly affected, so the beef jerky can be reduced temporarily. Others such as cotton and dried fruit are not affected.

Li Chengru also thought about whether to hide the Xiao family first.

Xiaobao mountain will not work for national teachers, so... Ye Zi may be sacrificed.

If the national teacher is still not satisfied, will he come and catch the family of xiaobaoshan? What will the Xiao family do then?

However, he saw the Xiao family in the tribe. When they heard that Xiao Baoshan was all right, they all showed great joy and smiled. That was the most ordinary happiness in the world.

He just thought, he would rather send someone to protect them in private than let them live in panic.

Two days later, Li Chengru rode away from the tribe and returned to Baoning city. He drew some experts and pretended to be labor for the camel team. In fact, he secretly protected the Xiao and Liu families.

……

In the palace.

When ye Xiaoxian and the Empress Dowager talked, she was watched more closely.

In addition to cooking for the Empress Dowager every day, I can't go anywhere at other times. I can only stay in the house. It's extremely boring.

The Empress Dowager didn't talk to her anymore. She just treated her as a slave.

That day, the national master came into the palace again. He didn't mention Ye Xiaoxian until after a cloud and rain, he pretended to suddenly think of Ye Xiaoxian.

He put his arm around the Empress Dowager and asked, "does Mrs. Xiao's dish suit your appetite?"

The Empress Dowager looked tired: "if it doesn't fit my stomach, can she stay here? Of course it does."

The national teacher asked, "after eating for so many days, should I be tired of it? Why don't you let her go back? The war in the north will soon be over. I heard that Jing Feng in Beiqing is ready to surrender."

"Who's tired of it?" The Empress Dowager looked at the national master like a judge: "you were right at the beginning. Her cooking really can't even compare with the imperial chef. I keep her here. She changes ways to cook for me every day. It's rare to have such a person who knows my mouth and stomach so well, and she has many styles. She can make a hundred patterns with the same ingredients."

The national master wanted to take ye Xiaoxian away now, but the Empress Dowager didn't allow it, and he didn't dare to act too hastily.

He only hoped that the Empress Dowager would never know the secret.

So he changed his mouth and said, "let Mrs. Xiao stay here as you say. Anyway, no matter where she is, xiaobaoshan can't save her."

The Empress Dowager glanced sideways at the National Teacher: "are you really willing?"

"Why not?" The national teacher smiled.

The Empress Dowager then said, "however, Mrs. Xiao said that she knew she was just a tool used to threaten xiaobaoshan. She didn't want to be this tool and didn't want xiaobaoshan to be embarrassed. Xiaobaoshan wouldn't do something he didn't want to do for her. I'm afraid your wish will come to naught."

The national teacher said, "if Xiao Baoshan really dares not to do it, I will escort Mrs. Xiao to the front line and let him watch his favorite wife die in front of him."

"That's cruel enough." The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly: "you make me sympathize with Mrs. Xiao."

"You are easy to be soft hearted!"

"So I'm not a big man."

"...." they were warm again.

When the national teacher left, he didn't mention it when he saw that the Empress Dowager really didn't mean to let Ye Xiaoxian come back.

The Empress Dowager only left Ye Xiaoxian to cook for her in the palace, but she didn't look very close in other aspects. I'm sure she won't find it for a while.

……

Today, Zhang Guibin, Chen Guibin and Li Guiren came again to greet the Empress Dowager.

After the Empress Dowager called them all in, she called Ye Xiaoxian in again.

The concubines were surprised to see ye Xiaoxian again and the clothes she was wearing were deja vu, presumably worn by the Empress Dowager.

Mrs. Xiao is really more and more like the Empress Dowager.

But why did the Empress Dowager leave Mrs. Xiao in the palace? Isn't it torture to look at a woman who looks similar to herself and younger than herself?

Seeing the thoughts of these concubines, the Empress Dowager said to Ye Xiaoxian, "Madam Xiao, go and prepare some snacks. I'll leave some concubines for lunch in the palace today."

Ye Xiaoxian looked at these people and asked, "I don't know what taboos they have, or what they like best?"

Zhang Guibin said, "I don't eat eggplant."

Chen Guibin said, "I don't eat white gourd."

Li Guiren: "I eat everything, especially elbow."

Ye Xiaoxian said she was clear and politely left.

After she withdrew, the people inside chattered.

"Empress dowager, it turns out that you are Mrs. Liu who cooks for you?"

"That's really her blessing. I want to make it for the Empress Dowager. I don't have that skill yet."

"Yes, it's her blessing."

“……”

The Empress Dowager was used to flattery, so she didn't say anything. She just said, "Mrs. Xiao's craftsmanship is really good. If she wasn't here, the mourning family wouldn't leave you here for dinner."

"That's what I'm waiting for." Zhang Gui's wife has the sweetest mouth.

Some of Li Guiren are not very talkative. She asked, "the Empress Dowager must have a person who looks like you around. Do you agree with her very much?"

The Empress Dowager's face immediately darkened.

Hit it off?

Seeing this, Zhang Guibin immediately rounded up the scene: "what do you like or don't like? Just make things delicious."

The Empress Dowager's face was relieved.

……

At noon, ye Xiaoxian cooked the dishes here one by one. She cooked ten dishes, including braised elbow, braised eggplant, white gourd pot, and some very exquisite dishes.

The women in the palace were worried that they would be too fat to please the emperor, so ye Xiaoxian did a light job.

When Zhang Guibin saw that there was eggplant here, she couldn't help asking, "didn't I just say that I don't eat eggplant? Why do you still make eggplant?"

Chen Guibin asked, "I just said I don't eat white gourd. Why did you make white gourd?"

Ye Xiaoxian explained: "there are ten dishes here. You can eat white gourd without eggplant. You can also eat eggplant without white gourd. That doesn't mean they can't appear on the table together."

"You..." Zhang Guibin had a bad attack, so she had to ask the Empress Dowager for help.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Ye Xiaoxian and saw that ye Xiaoxian looked indifferent. She also felt angry.
