I have a role in the heavens

Qianqing Palace.

"Why are you here? You've always been nesting in Huashan. Why are you willing to leave your nest?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Xiao in front of him and couldn't help teasing him. He loved and hated Zhu Xiao's temperament. What I love is that he does not seek fame and fortune, and what I hate is that he does not pursue fame and fortune.

The character of an emperor is to use fame and fortune to control a person, but if a person transcends fame and fortune and has the strength not to be afraid of power, then this person must be the most special existence in the emperor's heart. Zhu Houzhao was already lucky that the other person was a descendant of the clan. Otherwise, this world would most likely not belong to their Lao Zhu family.

"Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are going to have a decisive battle in the Forbidden City. How could I not come? If someone does anything at this time, you may be in danger!" Zhu Xiao had a good impression of Zhu Houzhao. At least Zhu Houzhao was very courageous and optimistic about himself. He is also very tolerant, so he doesn’t want anything to happen to him.

"It seems that this duel is not easy, otherwise you would never come!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Xiao and said with certainty. He still understood Zhu Xiao's character. He would not take action if he was not completely sure of it. , so the duel itself must be a conspiracy, and it is a conspiracy involving himself, which will affect the Ming Dynasty, otherwise Zhu Xiao would never say so.

"You are indeed very keen, let me tell you the truth!" Zhu Xiao was not surprised. He had been with Zhu Houzhao for a long time, and he had already known about Zhu Houzhao's agility. Otherwise, why would he have ignored Zhu Houzhao and others? Even though the tiger is watching eagerly, he can still deal with it to this day.

"This decisive battle is just a cover-up, to replace you!" Zhu Xiao thought of the trajectory in the original work, and his spirit fell into the dark, sensing the changes in the future. For Zhu Xiao today, It's not a big deal, but in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, it's simply a magical method. He can predict the future and make plans in advance. Who in the world can beat the gods.

"How is it?" Zhu Houzhao had seen you for the first time. Zhu Xiao sensed the changes in the future and trusted Zhu Xiao's judgment very much. So Zhu Xiao came back to his senses and couldn't help but ask about the result.

"As long as I'm here, no storm can cause any trouble!" Zhu Xiao waved his hand to Zhu Houzhao not to be nervous. Even if things changed, as long as Zhu Xiao was by Zhu Houzhao's side, no one could hurt Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao calmed down instantly after hearing Zhu Xiao's words. Zhu Xiao is a heavenly being, the only heavenly being in this world. No one can make waves in the hands of heavenly beings. He just wanted to confirm it.

"Before the decisive battle is over, I will stay in the capital to protect your safety!" Zhu Xiao did not explain in detail what kind of conspiracy this decisive battle was, and Zhu Houzhao did not continue to ask for details. He only needed to know the result, and he Now the results can be confirmed. With Zhu Xiao in charge of the capital, there is only one outcome for everything, and that is to follow Zhu Xiao's ideas. There is no possibility of exception.

"I will ask someone to arrange a bedroom for you!" Zhu Houzhao wanted to instruct the servants to prepare a palace for Zhu Xiao to live in the palace.

"No need, I've found a good place, so I won't live in the palace!" Zhu Xiao stopped Zhu Houzhao's move to declare people. There was a traitor around Zhu Houzhao now, and he was not suitable to show up at this time.

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao was not reluctant and watched Zhu Xiao leave with some disappointment.

Wife cake is a characteristic traditional snack in Chaozhou area of ​​Guangdong made with sugared winter melon, wheat flour, cake flour, maltose, sesame and other ingredients as the main raw materials.

The outer shell of the wife cake is baked to an attractive golden brown, and the layers of pastry inside are as thin as tissue paper and extremely crispy. When you bite into it, the crumbs fall all over the place. You can taste the sweetness like honey in every bite! It takes a lot of work to create this layered texture. First of all, in terms of materials, we need to separate the water-oil dough and the pastry. Put the water-oil bread into the pastry, open it and fold it up. Repeat this twice to take advantage of the fact that water and oil are immiscible with each other. Only with its unique characteristics can a crispy and distinct layered texture be produced, so delicious wife cakes are quite a test of the skill and patience of the pastry chef.

But now, in a remote corner of the capital, there is such a delicious wife cake shop. This shop has only been open for less than half a year. It is not very famous, but it has many repeat customers because the taste and workmanship of the wife cakes here are excellent. Far from other stores on the market.

The owner of this shop is a handsome young man with a warm smile on his face every day. He is accompanied by a beautiful and pregnant wife. The two are extremely loving and busy in the shop every day. Although they are not rich, they are very wealthy. Warmth, life was very happy.

"Boss, here are two newly baked wife cakes. Let me taste them first. If they taste good, I will recommend them to my friends and ask them to buy them from you!" Zhu Xiao walked into the store without weighing the weight and taking it back. But he wanted to try it first. After all, his money was not brought by the strong wind. He would only be willing to pay if he was sure whether the wife cake here tasted authentic and delicious.

"Okay, thank you, sir!" A young man wearing a white apron smiled and walked out from the backyard of the shop carrying two golden steaming cakes. He didn't even raise his head to look at the customer. The official thanked the customers skillfully. He is really a veteran in business and understands the principle of putting customers first.

"Your wife cake is not authentic. Why is there no wife in the cake?" Zhu Xiao looked at the man in front of him who was still walking towards him without raising his head, and couldn't help but tease him.

"Sir, you are joking. How can there be a wife in the wife cake?" The man didn't show any anger at all and just thought the other party was joking.

"Your Majesty, please be patient!" The man put down the plate in his hand, then raised his head and said politely to Zhu Xiao.

The man froze for a moment, and the bright smile on his face stopped. His hand was still stretched out on the table, and he forgot to take it back for a moment.

"Why, why are you not happy at all to see your old friend? Your smile is frozen?" Zhu Xiao showed a narrow smile and looked at Ximen Chuixue who had a frozen face in front of him.

"Why are you here?" Ximen Chuxue retracted his arm and sat on Zhu Xiao's right hand side, but the smile on his face had faded.

"There's a commotion outside, but you, the client, seem to have disappeared!" Zhu Xiao pointed at the world outside the shop and couldn't help but sigh.

"Who would have thought that the most ruthless swordsman in the martial arts world today, a new grand master, would actually start a business in a corner of the capital and become a pastry chef!"

Zhu Xiao took a closer look at Ximen Chuixue's outfit. He was wearing the standard white robe that remained unchanged all year round, but instead of a sword around his waist, he wore an apron. His appearance is still handsome, but the coldness on his face has dissipated, and he has a warm smile. There is even a white flour mark on his cheek, which should be from wiping sweat with his hands when making cakes.
