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

Bai Zhi only remembered that he was very quiet that night, only gently rubbing her ankles with medicinal wine, and answering "Yes" from time to time.

When Bai Zhi said that she wanted to advance and retreat with him, he fell silent and said nothing.

That night, Bai Zhi, who always slept well, suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. Meng Ying was not beside her, but by the window.

He looked up at the bright moon outside the window, and the clear light of the cold moon shone down, illuminating his elegant face.

Suddenly, two lines of hot tears rolled down his face, as if it was difficult to breathe. He opened his mouth slightly, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

Bai Zhi only saw him shed tears twice. The first time was at the Queen's birthday banquet, the night when his butt blossomed. As for why he cried, she forgot.

The second time is today.

She had made up her mind and was willing to bear these sins with him, but Meng Ying's attitude said everything, he was unwilling.

Bai Zhi still can't understand this man's brain circuit!

She believes that love is very simple, just stay together if you like it, and husband and wife should share joys and sorrows.

Is this difficult?

Although she resented it, she understood that for such a paranoid person, it was useless for others to persuade him, and he had to be allowed to slowly figure it out on his own.

As soon as I covered myself with the quilt, it was another sunny day the next day.

Bai Zhi clearly remembered that from that day on, there seemed to be some inexplicable distance between her and the prince.

Summer flies by with the homemade fruit tea and iced bayberry soup made by Angelica dahurica.

The queen loved her so much that she made ice drinks and often invited her into the palace. The two of them were like best friends, chatting about everything.

Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, and the Queen Mother's hysteria broke out again. She always acted up in the palace and made the chickens and dogs restless.

Concubine Shu regained the emperor's favor after many years and was extremely proud. Even the Sun family members became tough when they spoke in the court.

Due to the collapse of the Qifeng Hall, the Ministry of Industry investigated and punished more than thirty officials from the imperial court to local governments, and many positions were vacated.

The innocent people who were accidentally involved in the Qi Feng Hall were rescued by a wealthy businessman in Chenjing and had to face their new life with heavy sorrow.

However, for such a huge project as the Qi Feng Hall, tens of thousands of gold had been embezzled, but they could not be found from the homes of the high-ranking officials involved.

Where did the money go? This will keep Emperor Jingde and Meng Ying busy.

Although Meng Ying should not be responsible for investigating the case, from the time of the late emperor's reign, 70% of the officials were related to his Zhuo family. They controlled the government and even the emperor was in name only.

In this situation, Emperor Jingde dared not trust anyone except the Mei family, which led an army of 200,000 people from the north, and the You family, which had been slandered back then.

So Meng Ying has been so busy these days that no one can be seen.

One night, the three siblings of the Zhuo family had dinner together, and the dishes on the table were still the favorite dishes of Zhuo Yao and Zhuo Hong.

Zhuo Ling put something good into Zhuo Yao's bowl and sighed, "The Queen Mother woke up a lot yesterday. She asked you to marry the daughter of General Liangzhou, but I heard that Your Majesty wants you to marry the princess of the Western Regions. What do you mean? ?”

"After my mother's memorial day, I will invite the war to go out. They can marry whomever they want! I have no control over it!" Zhuo Yao said coldly.

Zhuo Ling frowned slightly. She understood that Zhuo Yao didn't want to accept the marriage, but she didn't know how to refuse the marriage. "Sister, I understand, but your marriage seems to have been proposed by Brother Salan!"

Snapped--

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Yao slammed the table, and the plates on the table were bounced off the table.

He looked fiercely and said bitterly: "If he wants to force me, I will hide the white lotus so that he will never find it!"

Zhuo Ling, Zhuo Hong: "..."

Not to be messed with, really not to be messed with. Both of them knew that Zhuo Yao could do such a thing.

There was silence at the dinner table.

Suddenly, an arrow broke through the window and a piece of letter paper was tied to it.

Zhuo Yao was instantly alert and neatly unfolded the letter. It read, "The arrow cluster has melted, and the copper and tin are six to four ratios."

The three siblings frowned.

Zhuo Yao clenched his fists unconsciously, "With such a large amount of tin mines, Liangzhou is the only one other than Nanman."

Zhuo Ling's expression was not very good, and she tapped the edge of the bowl with her chopsticks, "In other words, the person who assassinated Ahong was either a Nanman or a Liangzhou person. Most of them can obtain weapons of this level. He is a soldier, not a charlatan."

"Then...the murderer is most likely...the Queen Mother?" Zhuo Ling was afraid to say it.

Zhuo Hong held his forehead with his hand, "Hey, I have guessed this possibility a long time ago, and the prince should also know about it!"

The three of them were silent for a while, this incident was like a stone thrown into a deep pond.

No one said anything, but they all knew very well that the storm was brewing at the bottom of the pool.

Early autumn.

Bai Zhi's King of Kitchen Competition has created a gust of wind in the streets of Chenjing.

First, famous chefs from all over the Chen Kingdom joined in, which created enough momentum for the competition.

Later, some famous diners either criticized or praised this situation, and even triggered a debate, which attracted a lot of discussion among the masses.

In this way, with a high degree of discussion, the King of Kitchen Competition ushered in the preliminary round.

The format of the Kitchen King Competition is also simple, divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals. Each competition is divided into groups according to the number of people.

In the preliminary and semi-finals, ten judges will taste the food and give scores. After all contestants have finished the competition, the best will be selected based on their scores, and six people will be selected to enter the finals. The finals need to be judged by another 30 live audience members.

The six finalists all received prizes. After the rankings were determined, the prizes for the top three were three thousand taels, two thousand five hundred taels, and two thousand taels of silver.

If the famous chefs can make a name for themselves this time, then the number of restaurants hiring their chefs will be as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river.

Bai Zhi has exclusive secret bean paste and kimchi, as well as ten carefully trained chefs, so a confident person is guaranteed to win!

However, on the first day of the preliminary round, he stumbled and suffered a disastrous defeat.

There are nearly a hundred chefs who have signed up, and the preliminary competition takes three days to complete.

Bai Zhi carefully sent out only two people, wanting to test the judges' taste acceptance first.

On the day of the preliminary competition, Bai Zhi dressed up as the boy next to You Qing and tasted every entry along with You Qing.

Overall, I only tasted one or two amazing dishes, one of which she was very familiar with. It was made by Zhang Huachun, the head chef of Deyue Tower. Other works are not outstanding in taste.

Although the two chefs at home are not top-notch, the taste is far from bad among many works.

Regarding this, You Qing had the same feeling as him. The two of them had doubts.

As the organizers, if they lose, let alone being embarrassed, the entire God of Cooking Competition will be in vain.

So after the day's competition, Bai Zhi and You Qing wanted to treat the judges to a meal to explore their tone and actual judging criteria.

The first thing they thought of was Zhao Zhao. Zhao Zhao was a well-known talent in Chenjing. He loved to write storybooks, liked to comment on women, and was extremely picky about the food of different families.

Although this person is venomous and often offends people, the people or things he evaluates will become the focus of discussion within a few days. He can be said to be a topic maker.

The two came to the guest room where Zhao Zhao rested, and were about to knock on the door when they heard a woman's moans coming from inside. It was so lewd that they knew what was going on inside without even looking.

At this point in time, it is really hard not to make people suspicious if they want to mess around here.

Bai Zhi and You Qing looked at each other and hid aside, waiting to see who was inside.
