Inside the side hall of the Qian Hua Palace, the Imperial Consort Wen asked the young eunuch kneeling below, "Have you heard what the Emperor said?"

The young eunuch kneeled on the ground. "Reporting to the Empress, when the emperor was talking to the Fifth Prince, even the steward was kicked out. But when he saw the Fifth Prince come out with a serious expression, it seemed as if his eyes were filled with tears.

The Imperial Consort Wen's expression became heavy: "You haven't seen anyone arguing in the hall?"

The young eunuch shook his head. "There is indeed no such thing as returning to the Empress. This servant was also curious, but after thinking about Master Hail's current body … " He probably didn't have the strength to berate them. Moreover, the Fifth Prince had never been in the capital before. As servants, they didn't understand this lord's character, but after coming back, he had been quiet for a few days and probably wasn't someone who would cause a ruckus.

Seeing that he could not get any answers, the Imperial Consort Wen waved his hand for the young eunuch to leave. Afterwards, she returned to her own hall, took up her brush and wrote a few words, before immediately having someone send her to Fourth Prince's palace.

The next morning at the imperial court, the emperor appeared to be in high spirits and directly appeared at the imperial court. This caused the civil and military officials who had not seen the emperor for many days to be very surprised. All the officials kowtowed three times, and the emperor excused them from kowtowing. He coughed twice and then said, "My dear ones, it's been a while. Do you have anything to say to me?"

The crowd looked at each other; they didn't know what the uncertain king wanted to do with his words.

Seeing that no one was talking, the old emperor sneered, "It seems like you don't place me in your eyes anymore! Who gave you the guts to send those pieces directly to the Minister of the Left's manor? Who gave you the guts to respect the Minister of the Left? Are you planning to change your surname, Under Heaven of the Great Yan? "

The moment those words left his mouth, everyone immediately kneeled down. Lou Jianming kneeled on the ground, "To return the favor, this old man has no intention of overstepping his bounds! "It's just that you need to recuperate during your illness, so everyone …"

The Emperor did not let Lou Jiuming finish his words, but instead shouted, "I am sick. Is this Jiang Shan surnamed Lou? Since we have yet to establish the crown prince, you are all impatient. If I am to become the crown prince as you wish, will you force the palace to rebel and kill me in place of me? "

Although there were many people who had these thoughts, especially the Third Prince. Seeing that the Emperor was relying more and more on the Fourth Prince and that the Fifth Prince was actually returning to the palace in secret a few days ago, not only did the Emperor not blame him, he even allowed the Emperor to live in the palace. This made these people nervous. Although the words spoken by the Emperor may sound like they were made on the spur of the moment, once an emperor openly spoke out his fear of a certain prince, even saying that the prince would force the palace into submission, then it would mean that the Emperor had already sensed and was prepared. Of course, there was another deeper meaning, which was that no emperor would entrust their lands to a son who wanted to slaughter them.

Just from the words of the Emperor, it was as if the entire Third Prince was smashed by an iceberg. They had indeed been moving too frequently these days. Could it be that something had been discovered by the Emperor?

Naturally, they could not just sit and wait for death. Lou Jiuming was the leader, and these people all spoke of the loyalty they had towards the emperor to the imperial court. Looking at the subjects that he had once relied on and the Lou Family that he had single-handedly raised, the Emperor sighed in his heart. However, he knew that there were only a few things that he could do now.

On the other hand, the Haian City was not affected by the changes in the imperial court. Moreover, the whole city was very interested in this celebration of the birthday. After all, this time, any of them could become one of the judges. They didn't care whether the judges would judge them or not, but they were unhappy that they didn't have to spend money to eat delicious food. This was the craftsmanship of the eight largest restaurants in the Haian City!

Actually, when Li Baoxiao first found out about this competition, he was not angry. He was very confident in his little brother. Thus, when he heard his wife's words, he immediately made this competition into a celebration for the officials. As for the rules of the competition, he had read the reports handed to him by those people, and felt that it was still feasible. However, he agreed with what the Yu said. Since he was enjoying himself with the people, he should let them participate. With the commoners here, it would be difficult for them to cheat. He decided to let the government handle the work, so naturally, the government would be responsible for the site materials. Everyone in the government knew that Little Boss Su over at Yuxiang Restaurant was the foster brother of their master. Even if they gave him some guts, they wouldn't dare to take the money to mess with things in Su Family.

Therefore, what Li Baoxiao provided Su Xinyu was an absolutely fair environment. For Su Xinyu, this was enough.

This competition was held on the 8th of October, the day of the Emperor's birthday. In order to avoid any problems that might occur in the city, Li Baoxiao decided to spend all his money to build a stage for the competition in the open space outside the city. The food and utensils for the competition are provided by the yamen. All the restaurants needed was a chef. After finishing up, it was left to the yamen runners to supervise the delivery of the dishes to the distinguished guests and judges.

Because Su Xinyu had almost finished preparing for the competition. Thus, she returned to her days of frequent visits to help out at the store. Sun Xiguang had also seen Su Xinyu's preparation before, and heard her thoughts. He had always been at ease with her boss' abilities, so she naturally wouldn't think too much about it after seeing this. What's more, Sun Xiguang was still a little proud. In the end, he was still a famous chef and a member of the royal family. How could she let these people win against him? Therefore, he had already come to a conclusion in his heart.

Cooking was not something that could be done at the last minute. Thus, these two people who had the ability and confidence naturally wouldn't appear to be flustered or anxious.

However, because of this matter, the people in the other stores ended up as government contractors. All their methods were useless. It was only when they tried to spend the money that they completely understood that the little boss of the Su Family was the foster brother of the Prefect. No one dared to take their silver and destroy the things used for Su Family. This time, they could only compete based on their own abilities. However, based on their abilities, it's not that they didn't know that the dishes on the Su Family were indeed outstanding. Otherwise, why would they be so nervous about making the previous decision?

Unfortunately, there were some things that were useless to regret. They could only hurry up and think of the best dishes they could make. At least they had 'bought' the message. When the time came, he would prepare more. He would not be inferior to her.

The waiting days will make time long, but the busy life will make the days fast again. Su Xinyu did not take the competition seriously, so when the day was about to arrive, she finally reacted. This is too fast. "

Hu Ya tapped on the blanket in the courtyard. Isn't this too fast? I was anxious to wait. However, I'm not much. A few days ago, I saw Boss Tian of Xichun Pavilion with an ointment on the corner of his mouth. They deserve to do it themselves. "

"Su Xinyu laughed. You. Don't always be like those aunties with their broken lips. This time, they didn't succeed. Instead, they predicted that I would take a huge advantage of them. Naturally, they were anxious. However, we might not be able to get the upper hand, but after we get out of here, don't put on a win-win attitude. "

Hu Ya smiled, "I know, Young Master. What I learned from you is modest outside. Isn't this home? It was a pity that both the cousin young master and young master couldn't come. "If only I could."

Thinking about Wen Ling and Tian Liyong, Su Xinyu sighed: "Stop talking nonsense. They were currently in the capital, not knowing if they would be safe or not. A few days ago, there were even rumors that there was going to be a huge change in the capital. "

Hu Ya put down her hammer and walked over to Su Xinyu's side. Young Master, please don't let the rumors get out of here. What do they know? If you are really worried, you can ask Manager Zhang or Lord Ji. "

How could Su Xinyu not know that hearing rumors were worthless? She just felt that she had no right to ask about the affairs of the imperial court.

At this time, Su Mei ran in. Young master. Young Master Tang is here! "

Su Xinyu was startled, and then realised it was Tian Liyong. "The person I just mentioned has arrived. It truly is a bit unprepared." Quick, invite him to the inner courtyard! Hu Zi, go get a table of good dishes from the tower and bring it over! "Go quickly!"

Hu Ya promised to quickly follow Su Mei out. Su Xinyu also hadn't changed her clothes at all. She treated Tian Liyong as if he was her own brother. So she just put the book back and ran to the front yard.

Seeing Su Xinyu coming in, Tian Liyong was startled for a moment. After not seeing his for so long, the little girl had grown taller and his face was revealed. "Even though she was dressed like a man, she was still very handsome." Xinyu! "

"When Su Xinyu saw the outline of Tian Liyong's robust face become even more angular, his heart was very excited as well. "Brother!"

This voice made Tian Liyong's heart tremble. And then he remembered that he was the girl's big brother. "With this thought in mind, the throbbing sensation finally subsided." You've grown so much. How have you been? How is Aunt's health? "

Su Xinyu smiled and went over to hold Tian Liyong's hand, and pinched his arm admiringly. Wow. So sturdy. I'm fine. I'm fine. I even opened a restaurant! Do you think it's very big and nice to buy a new house? Also, my mother is in the backyard. He would be here soon. How are you doing? Ling Ge said that after you return to the capital to complete your orders, you will be allowed to advance to the next level. Is there an official position now? Your clothes look different from before! "

After hearing the little girl talk a lot, Tian Liyong smiled and answered all of them. The Emperor did indeed reward him for this battle. I am now General Zorong, of the fourth rank. However, even though he was a general, he was only a deputy general of General Wang. No real power. "This is also a special favor from above.

Su Xinyu let out a "wow". You're a fourth rank general now! So powerful! Then you can live in a mansion in the capital? Do we have to bring our family to the capital? "

Tian Liyong shook his head. I, a fourth rank general, am only a rank, not a division of manors. At present, he was only living in the military camp. But he did let me go home on vacation to pay my respects. So I just got back from home. "

Upon hearing that Tian Liyong came over from his hometown, Su Xinyu quickly asked: "How about Seventh Grandmother? How is step grandfather? Eldest Uncle, Second Aunt, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Gou Zi and Ernil, how are they? "
