Smiling, Chu Qiao huddled under the quilt and pretended to be tired and fell asleep. Lan Hui went in and did not come out again. Chu Qiao then lifted the quilt, turned over and sat up.
Counting the days, it has been a few days since she came to the palace, but she can only wander around the imperial dining room, and has not even stepped through the door of the imperial hospital. If this continues, it will take years and months to investigate her uncle's case clearly?
My mother is still staying at Mr. Ma Da's house. She doesn't know why she is anxious when she sees that she won't go back for a long time.
Chu Qiao frowned and thought hard, how can she quickly approach the Imperial Hospital?
That Eunuch Chen... seems to be the eunuch in charge of Tai Hospital, and his position is not low. I wonder if I can enter Tai Hospital through him.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Chu Qiao shook her head repeatedly. Eunuch Chen was a lecherous person, and having a relationship with him would do her no good at all. Thinking of his lustful eyes, Chu Qiao got goosebumps all over her body.
But if not through Eunuch Chen, who else could she count on?
Suddenly, an embarrassing image appeared in Chu Qiao's mind. On the steps of the mountain road, she hugged his thigh, and he looked at her condescendingly, his eyes deep and solemn...
He saved her, and she helped him, which should be regarded as a bit of friendship. If we had the chance to meet again, I wonder if he would sell this favor to her if she asked him.
"By the way, it's him..."
Chu Qiao pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and made up her mind.
But how can she meet this person? She can't just go to Tai Hospital rashly, can she?
He slowly raised his gaze and looked out the window. The glazed tile roofs of a cluster of palaces shone brightly in the moonlight, reflecting the blue words "Outer Imperial Kitchen".
The outer imperial dining room is specially used to prepare meals for the important officials of the imperial court. Since Liu Zhang and Xu Jin called him "sir", he should also be a minister of the imperial court. As a minister, he should eat the meals in this dining room. If she could have the opportunity to prepare meals for the court officials,
If you send us meals, you might have a chance to see him. As long as you see that adult, you can ask him for help.
A gentleman is much better than a lecherous eunuch.
The more Chu Qiao thought about it, the more she felt that this method was suitable, so what she wanted to do now was to become the catering maid in the imperial dining room. It seemed that this goal was not easy to achieve. After all, she had no research on catering and wine, so she had to start everything from scratch.
start.
I was thinking so much that I seemed to fall asleep in a daze, and it was dawn before dawn.
When she got up early in the morning, Eunuch Ping personally presented her with a blue-grey palace maid uniform. With this outfit, Chu Qiao could enter and leave the dining room door at will. It was said that this was the outfit for the entry-level apprentice cook in the imperial dining room.
Along with this set of clothes came a rag and a broom.
Seeing the rag and broom, Chu Qiao knew that she was just a handyman with the name of a cook. Although Eunuch Chen said good things, Eunuch Ping did not follow the rules of the imperial kitchen in the palace.
He didn't dare to go beyond that. He would rather treat Li Chunxiang as an idler than let her wander around in the dining room.
"Wipe the dust and sweep the floor. It's only an area the size of your palm. If you're tired, come back and rest." Eunuch Ping gave Chu Qiao the greatest degree of freedom.
"Eunuch Ping, can Chu Qiao do something else, such as go to the dining room and help the chefs..."
Chu Qiao quietly raised her eyes and looked at Eunuch Ping, wondering if he would make an exception and do some help in the kitchen.
