Under everyone's gaze, the old eunuch took a bite and his eyes immediately went straight: "It's crispy, juicy, and sweet. It tastes like a snow pear, but it tastes better than a snow pear."
If the imperial chef could "make" such a fruit, there would be no need to worry about tonight's palace banquet. Even if someone deliberately seeks trouble, they won't be able to pick out the thorns.
"As long as it's fruit." Ji Yunkai looked at the big eunuch meaningfully. After listening, the big eunuch nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's fruit. Make a new one and I'll send it to the emperor to taste."
Because of the palace banquet, the emperor stayed up all night last night. Now that he eats the fruit "cooked" by the royal chef, he will surely be able to rest peacefully for a while.
The imperial chef who made the "radish pear" immediately became energetic when he heard the big eunuch's words. He replied "yes" and immediately started to make a "pear" under the eyes of the big eunuch.
Of course, they have already been cut into slices. Although Yu Chu can make pears that look exactly like Sydney pears, there is really no need to waste this time.
Soon after the big eunuch left with the "pears", two young eunuchs brought a tray over and said it was a reward from the emperor.
The chef who received the reward was so happy that he didn't know what to do. The emperor did not like to eat cakes. Since he ascended the throne, there is only one woman in the harem, and cakes are rarely used. The chef who makes snacks in the imperial kitchen has not received a reward from a nobleman for several years.
, the chef is really happy to get the reward this time.
With the stimulation of the reward, the other two royal chefs became more serious and did not hide it. They used all the ancestral techniques. Soon another royal chef made a fruit similar to plums.
Ji Yunkai tasted it carefully and determined that the taste was very good. Although he couldn't be sure that it was a plum after taking a bite, he could still tell that it was a fruit.
She didn't care what kind of fruits were placed on the palace banquet table, as long as they were available, she said: "Very good, reward me!"
"Thank you, Princess." After receiving Ji Yunkai's affirmation, the chef looked happy and smiled.
Not only the three imperial chefs, but also three of the dozen little eunuchs soon made three kinds of "fruits", which all tasted good. After Ji Yunkai asked the three imperial chefs to help fine-tune the proportions of the ingredients,
Both the taste and appearance are as good as the real ones.
In this way, there are six kinds of fruits, which are enough for the palace banquet.
After developing the "fruit", Ji Yunkai ignored the rest of the matter and left all matters to the eunuch beside the emperor, and Ji Yunkai left the palace.
As Princess Yanbei, she will also attend the palace banquet tonight.
As soon as she left the palace, she met a boy who blocked her way. The boy handed her a letter. There was still only one address on the letter. It was the same as the previous address and the handwriting was the same.
However, this time the young man did not leave. Ji Yun opened the letter in his hand and asked: "Who is your young master?"
"Our young master doesn't want to burden the princess and has no intention of exposing his identity. There are things the princess needs in the village. If the princess is worried, just bring more people to get them." The boy looked sincere, lowered his head, and said
A respectful look.
"Don't want to put a burden on this princess?" Ji Yunkai laughed when he heard this.
This statement is full of implications, and it is really easy for people to think wrongly.
"Yes, our young master has no other intentions. He just wants to help the princess." The young man lowered his head and did not see the ridicule in Ji Yunkai's eyes.
"Nothing else? Does this princess need his help?" Such suggestive words were said in front of Xiao Jiuan's personal guards. What did the other party mean?
Is it really to help her?
"The villain is just saying something. The princess has the right to decide whether to go or not." The young man looked upright, as if this matter was really for Ji Yun.
Ji Yunkai showed no expression. She put away the letter in her hand and said with a stern expression: "Tell your young master that this princess knows."
The boy was startled, obviously not expecting Ji Yun's reaction to the meeting, but he didn't say anything more, bowed his hands, bowed to Ji Yunkai and left.
"Keep an eye on him." Ji Yunkai ordered softly to the bodyguard beside him. The bodyguard nodded and followed.
After Ji Yunkai left the palace, he returned directly to his current residence and prepared to bathe and change clothes for the palace banquet.
At this time, Nuan Dong and Shi Shu had returned. When they saw Ji Yunkai coming back, the four girls immediately rushed up: "Princess, everything is done." Those flowers that were fake and real had been brought in by the emperor's people.
The palace is gone.
"Yes." Ji Yunkai responded and continued walking forward. Nuan Dong followed her: "Princess, not long after you left the palace, people from the Wang family entered the palace and presented a pot of peonies to the emperor, as well as a flower basket.
I don’t know what the fruits from the south are in the basket. I heard that the emperor was very happy and rewarded the Wang family heavily."
Ji Yunkai paused for a moment, then continued forward: "Let people stare at the Wang family and see how the six ministers react."
Sure enough, the Wang family jumped out as they expected, and their methods were not very clever.
Of course, the method does not need to be clever but only useful.
If the emperor had discovered that there was something wrong with the fruits and flowers used at tonight's palace banquet because of the Wang family's reminder, the Wang family would have done a great service.
Unfortunately, the Wang family made a miscalculation.
"Yes, Princess." Nuan Dong responded softly, followed Ji Yunkai in small steps, and reminded softly: "Princess, the water and clothes are ready, do you want to take a bath now?"
"Okay." Ji Yunkai turned around and went directly to the bathroom.
Nuan Dong served Ji Yunkai and took off his clothes. When he saw the letter tucked into his clothes, Nuan Dong was stunned for a moment and put the letter in front of Ji Yunkai: "Princess, this letter?"
Ji Yunkai glanced at it: "Throw it away."
She was certain that this was a trap. The boy who delivered the letter kept hinting to her that the person who helped her was Feng Qi, so that she could rest assured, but...
Ji Yunkai knew that Feng Qi would not do such a thing, let alone do such a pretentious and misleading thing after she said she needed help.
Moreover, Feng Qi knew that she had the ability to induce flowers and plants to grow. Anyone would worry about her, but Feng Qi would not.
The person who secretly plotted against her didn't know this, and thought that by taking advantage of this and using Feng Qi's name, she would be seduced. It was a joke.
Nuan Dong did not dare to say anything, so he immediately dealt with the letter and then helped Ji Yun take a bath...
At this moment, in a small village outside the city, Feng Ning, the second son of the Feng family, was lying leisurely on a wicker chair, his body swaying with the recliner, as comfortable as if he was on vacation.
The guard behind him stood behind him dutifully as a protector, with his right hand on the handle of the knife, looking fiercely ahead, his body motionless.
However, as time passed, whether Feng Ning was lying down or standing as a guard, her body became stiff unconsciously.
When the sun sets and night falls, they know that their plan has failed and Ji Yunkai has not come... (To be continued)
