Seeing Li Bi suddenly at this time made Chu Qiao feel very anxious. It was really difficult to calm down. If Li Bi had insisted on using that kind of aromatherapy, the fetus would not be safe for long.
Chu Qiao couldn't bear the fact that a living little life just disappeared in the fight between the ladies.
Looking up at Concubine Li, Chu Qiao felt impulsive and rushed over to tell her the truth. Stop using that incense. If you stop now, it's still too late...
But what Ye Yunfang said rang in her ears again. If Libi's child was okay, she would be in trouble. Empress Zhaoyi would not let her go. Not only would she die, but her uncle's case would not be investigated.
, the mother will also be helpless.
Suddenly, Chu Qiao's heart dropped and she lost all her strength. Now either the child is gone or she is going to die.
Lowering her head, Chu Qiao grabbed her clothes hard and tried not to look into Libi's clear eyes, hoping that this would make her feel more at ease.
At this time, Li Bin spoke, her voice was soft and pleasant.
"I stayed in Cuiwei Pavilion all day long and felt very bored. They said there was a competition here and it was very lively. So I just came to take a look. I got it right. It was really lively.
"
Libi covered her mouth and looked at the contestants with her eyes wide open. From time to time, she would smile shyly and secretly, with small dimples showing on her cheeks. It was obvious at a glance that she was a simple woman.
"Hurry up and sit down for Concubine Li. Stay back and don't make any noise or get scared." Eunuch Ping ordered diligently, for fear that something might happen to the dragon in Concubine Li's belly.
No need to walk around.
The eunuchs were busy and surrounded Li's concubine one after another, waiting for her alone. Li's concubine's face was red. Logically speaking, she was allowed to come here, but she was really curious.
"Which one is Li Chunxiang?" she asked.
"Your Majesty, that's the one wearing the uniform, the ninth one from here." A palace daughter said.
"knew."
After saying that, Li Bi looked over and wondered who had said something in her ears before. She was even more curious about Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao glanced at her awkwardly and immediately looked away. To this woman, she felt that she was full of accommodation. She hoped that she would be more cautious in the future and have more children and grandchildren, and be richer.
Everyone was seated, and it took Chu Qiao a long time to calm down. She deliberately avoided Concubine Li, and she felt less panicked.
"Everyone is here, let's close the door."
Eunuch Ping ordered, and the young eunuch walked over and closed the door of the dining room.
The bang made Chu Qiao immediately raise her head and look towards the door. Today, he really didn't come, not even Liu Zhang and Xu Jin.
Not seeing his shadow, Chu Qiao felt inexplicably empty. She missed a great opportunity yesterday. If she wanted to see him again, she might not know when.
If one day, she could walk to his table with the royal meal, she would definitely tell her request. Even if she couldn't make it happen, she would give up.
Could it be that he just wanted to make a request? For some reason, Chu Qiao's heart trembled when she thought of him. This was not a good sign.
After shaking her head, the voice of the eunuch in charge rang out, pulling her back from her thoughts.
"This royal meal is not only about frying and frying, but also about knife skills. So today's fourth question is to test your brain and knife skills. Do you see the onions and ginger on the chopping board? Open your eyes again.
Fold the note, look at the questions on it, and then operate according to the questions. When you are done, take a step back and don't move around."
After the eunuch in charge finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Chu Qiao. He seemed to be paying special attention to this handyman.
Chu Qiao raised her chin deliberately. She could look at it as much as she wanted. Even if she looked at her a few more times, she wouldn't lose a piece of flesh, let alone lose anything.
But after the eunuch in charge finished reading Chu Qiao, he looked at the piece of paper in front of her with a very strange look. This made Chu Qiao feel a little unsure. What did this guy mean? He would not cause any problems.
Her, right? Although the categories of the last two rounds of competition are similar, the details are different.
After the eunuch in charge finished reading, he suddenly curled up his lips and smiled.
This smile made Chu Qiao even more hairy. She felt more and more that this smile was not that simple. What on earth was written on the note?
"let's start."
The presiding eunuch dropped his gaze, walked to the chair with square steps, and sat down.
Twenty-five people started to move. Chu Qiao took a deep breath. No matter what was written in the note, she had to unfold it and give it a try. She limped forward and took a step forward. She just opened the note and didn't wait.
Look, I heard Libi's regretful voice coming over.
"You never thought she was lame?"
Chu Qiao looked up, and Li Bi happened to look over curiously. She saw that Chu Qiao seemed to have heard her, and felt that what she had just said was inappropriate, so she smiled apologetically.
The maid next to her leaned over and said something before she breathed a sigh of relief.
From every move, every talk and every laugh, Chu Qiao became more convinced that Concubine Li had no scheming intentions, she was just a simple and lovely woman. This character would be a disadvantage in the harem.
In fact, she has already suffered this loss.
Chu Qiao retracted her gaze and looked at the note. What shocked her was that there were four black characters written on the note: "The country will last forever."
Is this fate?
Chu Qiao really wanted to laugh a few times, but there were people around her, so she still had to be reserved and careful not to go too far.
Now Chu Qiao is really grateful to the old imperial chef. When the assessment is over, she will definitely bring delicious food and drink to honor his old man, as well as the broken shoe toe that she almost threw away.
When the old imperial chef was going crazy, he took the shoe and cut a lot of dishes, including onions and ginger, and Jiangshan Changjiu.
Is this question difficult? Maybe for other people, it is really difficult, but for Chu Qiao, it is a piece of cake and easy to do.
Chu Qiao's expression made the presiding eunuch's face change, and he became a little restless. This was arranged by Concubine Hui. In this round, Li Chunxiang was going to be taken down, but looking at Li Chunxiang's expression, he didn't seem so nervous?
Wiping away the sweat, the presiding eunuch was dripping with cold sweat.
Chu Qiao picked up a sharp kitchen knife. Although she was not that skillful in her technique, she could easily cut the ginger into three sections to express the meaning of the country, and cut the green onion into nine sections. Nine was the ultimate number, which meant "the country will last forever". Then she put down the kitchen knife and stepped back.
He took a step forward and stood as straight as a pine tree.
"Why did she cut the onions and ginger like that?" a young eunuch said in confusion.
"Ba Cheng came out of the mess, how can a handyman become an imperial chef?" Another eunuch said disdainfully, they have seen this cooking before, the green onions are nothing more than silk, small pieces, how have they ever seen such a big green onion?
, just cut into nine sections, isn’t this a joke?
