I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

evening.

The people in the kitchen were busy reluctantly while discussing the princess's heroic deeds today.

"Butler Liu was punished today. It seems that our life will not be easy in the future!"

"What do you think this prince thinks of the princess? He has seen her but not seen her yet, and he also ordered us to serve her well. Shouldn't we serve her better?"

"How can we serve delicious food and drink? Isn't she unwilling to marry into our palace? I'm not willing to serve her!"

"Hey! Mazi! Be quick with your hands and feet. After frying it and sending it to her, braise the beef that just arrived today. You must have a good time tonight!"

As Mazi was sweating profusely while weighing the pot, he replied: "The smell has gotten worse. I wonder if I can taste the taste of overnight meat!"

But Liu Er said disgustedly, "It's only March or April, how can the meat spoil so quickly! At most, it's not fresh and the taste is not that good!"

While Mazi was worried, he also thought that what he said made sense and continued to fry the next dish.

After three or four dishes were prepared, winter plums and spring flowers were summoned and presented to the princess.

However, Dongmei and Chunhua, carrying plates of vegetables, bumped into a man in a white shirt as soon as they went out.

He stood in the dusk where day and night alternated, like a fluorescent jasper, floating out of the dust, like an immortal.

When Dongmei and Chunhua saw this man, they were stunned, followed by panic, and the plates in their hands couldn't help but tremble. They all lowered their heads, leaned forward, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Holy Peace!"

He waved gently at the two of them, signaling them to excuse themselves, and then said coldly: "You two come in with me."

The three of them entered the kitchen. The people who were idle inside looked back at first, and then the peanuts in their mouths dropped in shock. They all stood up and saluted quickly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

The originally noisy kitchen suddenly became silent, and only rough and shallow breathing could be heard. No one dared to move. Sweat was dripping down from their foreheads. It was unclear whether it was because of the scorching heat in the kitchen or because of the cold-as-ice face of the person in front of them.

Meng Ying ignored anyone, just slowly took a pair of chopsticks, walked to Dongmei and Chunhua, and tried the dishes that were going to be presented to the princess one by one. When he tasted the meat dish, he put it in his mouth and chewed it three or two times, then spit it out and wrapped it with a moonlight white silk handkerchief.

After trying all the dishes, he put down his chopsticks and looked around the kitchen. His eyes lingered on the shelf with rich ingredients for a long time, and then he saw the fresh beef being stewed in the pot, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"I haven't come down for a long time. This palace has become yours?" His voice was very soft, but it was very weighty.

The servant and the servants were so frightened that they did not dare to express their anger and just buried their heads lower.

"The princess's meals must be cooked with the best ingredients and prepared within the time of a stick of incense. Every meal from now on will be the same. If you can't do it, then you can leave the palace on your own."

"Also, everyone's monthly payment will be halved, including Butler Liu!"

"If there is any mistreatment of the princess again in the future, it won't be about monthly money."

The cold and hard tone came, and everyone was silent and dared not speak. They were covered in cold sweat, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

After saying these words, Meng Ying walked away without looking back.

The people who were left behind were in the kitchen, banging, banging, banging, like a war, and started to cook a new meal for the princess in full swing.

On the other side, Bai Zhi was thinking about how to meet this legendary prince.

While thinking about it, I unknowingly walked to a corridor. There were flowers and plants in the corridor, but unfortunately they were all withered. It was obviously spring, so it was a waste of this wonderful spring time.

He stretched out his hand to hold a cane, but because it was dusk when day and night alternated, he couldn't see the sharp thorns on it clearly, and a long bloody mark was drawn on the palm of his hand.

Bai Zhi quickly retracted her hand, put it to her mouth and blew on it. I just thought in my heart that if a person is unlucky, his teeth will be choked even if he drinks cold water.

When I was melancholy, I suddenly felt that a line of sight was staring at me, and I turned my head suddenly. Behind me was a quiet garden, except for old dead trees, there was only a ghostly atmosphere.

I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body. I was really scared, so I had better run away quickly!

After Bai Zhi left, Meng Ying slowly emerged from behind the old tree, sighed slightly, and shook her head. Then he caught a servant and ordered: "Send a bottle of hibiscus jade ointment to the princess."

Bai Zhi returned to the room, and as soon as she entered the door, she felt that there must be something wrong with the way she opened it! So he closed the door, calmed down for two seconds, and then opened the door again and went in.

"No! Little Lihua, I'm not dreaming! What kind of day is it today?" Bai Zhi felt as if her eyes had dropped.

The table was filled with all kinds of dishes. Bai Zhi hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and counted them one by one, "Salivating chicken, braised pork, steamed duck with rice wine..."

Bai Zhi picked up a piece of meat she didn't recognize, waved it in front of Lihua, and asked, "What is this? Little Lihua!"

Lihua was snickering at the side, having never seen the greedy empress before, "This is roasted venison!"

"Deer meat! I haven't seen it before! Where's this?"

"Rouge goose breast."

"what about this?"

"Bird's Nest Almond Tofu."

……

As he asked, his mouth watered with greed, he picked up the chopsticks and started to eat hungrily.

After a while, her cheeks bulged like a little squirrel, and she muttered: "Little pear flower, why are you standing there in a daze! Come and eat!"

Due to her status, Lihua hesitated. Just as she was about to refuse, Bai Zhi pushed her down on the stool, "I can't finish it by myself. Eat it quickly. I don't know when I will eat it next!"

Lihua took a peek outside the door to make sure no one was there, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

"What do you think is going on in this kitchen? Could it be that my threats had an effect today?" Bai Zhi asked doubtfully while eating.

"Maybe." Lihua answered while eating like a little mouse.

Bai Zhi tried some of each of the many dishes she had never seen before. If she ate this meal every day, would she still worry about whether she would gain weight?

The meal passed happily, and there was still a lot left. The two of them supported the wall and walked back and forth in the room with their bulging bellies to help digestion.

"I really can't eat anymore, my dear!"

"Hey! If we still get this kind of treatment tomorrow, we have to ask them to do less!"

When they mentioned this, the two of them looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts. They didn't know what the reason for this meal was. Could it be some kind of last supper? The two guessed.

At this moment, Dongmei led a few boys and filed in. Dongmei was holding a tray with a delicate cyan jar on it. The lid of the jar was inlaid with gold wire, and there were lustrous pearls on the top. It looked like a valuable cultural relic.

Dongmei leaned forward and said: "Princess, my dear, this is the hibiscus jade ointment that the prince asked me to send you. I'll leave it here for you. Have you finished your dinner? I'll leave now."

Bai Zhi was a little flattered. She pointed at the exquisite little jar and stammered: "Eat... eat it. Why did the prince give me this?"

Dongmei lowered her head and replied: "I don't know what the prince is thinking."

After everyone had removed all the leftovers from the table, Bai Zhicai played with the hibiscus jade paste and asked Lihua: "What is the use of this thing?"

Lihua said excitedly: "This, it is said to be a tribute from the Western Regions. There are only three boxes in total, and one box is worth thousands of gold. Applying it to the skin can not only stop bleeding and heal injuries, but also build muscle and nourish the skin without leaving scars. See you, Prince Xu. The wound on your head may leave scars, so that’s why it was brought here!”

When Bai Zhi heard this, she gently stroked her forehead, then spread her palms, looked at the dried blood, and fell into deep thought.

Is it him in the afternoon garden? Has the prince figured it out?
