Chu Qiao raised her eyes and looked at this female official. She was only around thirty years old. She had a square face, willow eyebrows, and big eyes. This was a blessing. Seeing so many people treating her with respect, Chu Qiao secretly thought.
Now, if he could climb to this position, would Li Zhaoyi dare to think of killing her again?
The answer is definitely not. It is too late for Empress Zhaoyi to please the people around the emperor and empress.
Just when Chu Qiao was looking at the female official in charge of food, the woman's eyes were cast over her sharply. It seemed that none of the servants and chefs in the imperial kitchen dared to look at her like this. Obviously, this woman wearing a kitchen dress
The palace maids wearing uniforms are very bold.
The female officer Shang Shi narrowed her eyes slightly and did not move away from Chu Qiao's cheek.
Chu panicked and quickly lowered his head, not daring to raise his eyes to look at this woman again. However, Lady Shangshi stopped talking and walked over step by step, finally stopping five or six meters away from Chu Qiao.
.
Chu Qiao heard the sound and knew that she was coming. She was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe. Ms. Shangshi wouldn't punish her for looking at her so wantonly, right?
"What's your name?" the female officer Shang Shi suddenly asked.
Who? Who is she asking?
Chu Qiao raised her eyes in panic and found that the female official Shang Shi was looking at her. Eunuch Ping kept winking at Chu Qiao from behind. He didn't know what he was hinting at. Finally, he pointed his finger at the ground, which meant that Chu Qiao should hurry up.
Kneel down.
Chu Qiao didn't know what happened to her. Both of her legs were hit by planks, but she still stood there and answered.
"Slave Li Chunxiang."
"Li Chunxiang? Hmm..."
The female officer Shangshi changed the name. Not only was she not angry, but she nodded her head in approval. Then she turned around, looked at the people who had their heads lowered, and said loudly.
"You all should follow her example, raise your head and look at me. I am not here to accuse anyone, nor am I here to punish anyone. I have something I want to tell you."
After saying this, everyone raised their heads and did not dare to lower their heads again.
After hearing these words, Chu Qiao almost fell to the ground. She almost collapsed from fright. The pride in her bones came at the wrong time. Even Eunuch Ping wiped the sweat with his sleeves. It seemed that he also
I was sweating for Chu Qiao.
After the female official Shang Shi stood up, her steady voice sounded again.
"Seven days later, the envoy from the great Mongolian grasslands will arrive in Kyoto, and there will be a feast. This time, they will also be accompanied by the envoy's family members and the chefs of the inner palace. As the food manager of the palace, I don't want to
This time our imperial cuisine lost its luster in front of the Mongolian envoys. The Empress wants to innovate the dishes, not only to incorporate the style of our imperial cuisine, but also to take into account the taste of Mongolian meals. Those of you who are responsible for the meals of the ministers and envoys
Chefs, please work hard. The chefs from the inner kitchen will also participate this time. Let’s work together to get this done.”
"yes!"
Everyone in the outer dining room responded in a neat voice, and then became quiet again. The food manager quickly continued.
"Eunuch Ping, give these people in the dining room a little freedom these days, so that they don't have to be on death row here. They don't have any new eyes. The food photos now are much inferior to those when the late emperor was here."
"Xueyi understands that if they have a request, Xueyi will arrange it." Eunuch Ping nodded repeatedly.
After Supervisor Shangshi left, everyone let out a long sigh, some were happy and some were worried.
Those who are happy are the chef-level characters. For them, this is a wonderful opportunity for promotion. If they can come up with some good dishes, it will be easy to upgrade one or two levels. What is worrying are the helpers and kitchen servants.
Every time something like this happens, they are as tired as dead dogs. By then, the chefs will take advantage of all the good things.
Soon the imperial dining room became quiet again, and Eunuch Ping walked up to Chu Qiao and whispered.
"Be careful next time. This food manager is usually very tolerant. If it were someone else, you would be in trouble again today."
"I see."
Chu Qiao nodded, returned to the case, and started chopping vegetables honestly.
"Everyone must be more alert this time and research what is needed for the imperial cuisine of the two countries. Just tell me, seven days is not a long time. Don't let the imperial chefs underestimate you."
"Yes, Eunuch Ping."
All the chefs responded, and Mao Daqiu also looked confident. Eunuch Ping's brows were furrowed. Although the level of the outer imperial dining room was not as good as that of the inner imperial dining room, he was very caring and did not want to lose to Eunuch Lan. After all, this was the outer imperial dining room.
The matter of the imperial dining room.
Chu Qiao cut vegetables for a while, and seeing that it was time to deliver meals at noon, she felt a little uneasy. She took a few secret glances, as if the palace lady Liu hadn't come yet, so she wouldn't let her deliver meals to the Imperial Hospital again this time.
?
Thinking about Chong Ximo, Chu Qiao felt inexplicably nervous and even a little afraid.
Just when she put down the kitchen knife and wanted to find a place to hide, a lunch box was delivered to her.
"Meals are delivered to the hospital."
"Why is it me again?" Chu Qiao frowned.
"Ms. Liu didn't come, but it's you again. Weren't you quite happy yesterday?" the little eunuch asked strangely.
"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today, can I not give it away?"
Chu Qiao asked tentatively, and the little eunuch's face immediately turned cold. He scolded Chu Qiao and said, "Don't think that you will be fine if Mr. Chong carries it for you. It was you who knocked over the lunch box yesterday.
How dare you..."
"Okay, okay, I'll go. Isn't it okay if I go?"
Chu Qiao was really afraid that this matter would make a big fuss, so she quickly took the lunch box. The little eunuch's face immediately softened a lot, and he warned in a low voice.
"You are lucky enough to deliver meals to Lord Chong. If it had been anyone else, they would have chopped off your head long ago!"
The little eunuch made a beheading motion. Chu Qiao was frightened and gave the little eunuch a hard look. She said, "Go ahead." What did this guy want to do to scare her? He just knocked over a lunch box.
It's not as serious as decapitation, right?
However, this palace depends entirely on the wishes of the emperor, the empress, and the adults. If someone was narrow-minded just now, he would be killed.
Just like last time, Chu Qiao walked behind the two little eunuchs with the meal. As she walked, she was thinking that maybe this time she was asked to deliver another adult's meal, and Chong Ximo would not always stay there.
The Royal Pharmacy, right? That's not his home.
"Li Chunxiang, this meal box is for the wedding ceremony." The little eunuch in front reminded Chu Qiao.
"Titusi?"
It was just a matter of mentioning the case. Chu Qiao almost laughed out loud. She was so nervous all the way. Why didn't she tell her earlier? It seemed that she didn't need to see Chong Ximo today.
