two cold

Youth turns forward like a gear without complaints, turning happiness or sorrow into passing patterns, reflecting the sun.

Just before the trajectory of fate began to appear, Jinying was still in high spirits.Except for the unexpected defeat of Tomato, Jinying's talent in culinary arts is still far superior to that of other young court ladies. Therefore, the most noble palace empress advocates the determination of status by strength, and everyone still believes that the position of the most noble palace will eventually be Will go back to Cui's house.

Jinying realized early on that she came to the palace to become the most noble palace. No matter how much preparation she had made as a young maid, or the praise and hostility of everyone, it was a necessary test for her. Her self-esteem cannot be tolerated in her life. There is nothing wrong with the road.The only time she can relax a little is when she sits with Jang Geum quietly watching the moon at night, but with the increasingly heavy training and Jang Geum's gradually increasing curiosity, it seems that the chance for them to talk in depth is limited to that This time she only mentioned her mother, in exchange for more worries about Jang Geum.

For example, Jang Jin would light all the lamps in the imperial kitchen in the middle of the night, boil all the water in the water tank, and make the kitchen a mess... Whenever she heard the sound of a stick hitting Jang Jin's palm, she would not realize it He frowned and sighed.She didn't understand why Jang Geum still showed such a free smile after being punished, or she didn't understand the faint envy in her heart.

Perhaps it was the seemingly laissez-faire teaching method of Empress Han Shanggong that worked. Jang Geum's act of putting charcoal in the sauce jar unexpectedly allowed Jin Ying to solve the problem of His Royal Highness Yuanzi's reluctance to eat.This is not the only good thing, Cui Shanggong also brought the news that the envoy of the Ming Dynasty gave the golden rooster as a gift.

It is undeniable that the advantages of the family have allowed Jinying to have more opportunities to come into contact with precious ingredients than other peers since childhood. Coupled with the spices and cooking secrets that have been collected from all over the world, the Cui family has survived through generations. He is in charge of the taste buds of princes and marquises, and his power is unabated.

Geumyoung is proud of this Choi family.A century-old family, stories and secrets of various cuisines, she likes to listen to Cui Shanggong tell how the most noble palace in the past went to great lengths for a dish, or how the Cui business group showed their business strength and presented various ingredients.

"In the entire North Korea\North Korea, the only people who have seen and cooked golden chickens are the Cui family, so the emperor specially entrusted this matter to me. This is a good opportunity for us to show our strength to the emperor. Jin Ying You have to behave well and take good care of this golden rooster."

It was obviously a good opportunity to show off, but when Jinying saw the hole in the fence, a chill ran down his spine.

How could the golden rooster disappear?

Pretending to be calm, Jinying kept looking for the golden rooster everywhere in the palace, but with the frowning and the darkening sky, she couldn't find it.When Jinying returned to her place, she was covered in cold sweat. Everyone had such high expectations for her. If people found out that she had lost the golden rooster, she would not want to think about those disappointed or mocking expressions...

Now I can only find a way to remedy this terrible mistake, only by going out of the palace and borrowing the power of Cui's business group to find another golden rooster!

Having made up her mind, Jinying took advantage of the night to put on her robes and came to the remote palace gate where fewer guards usually guarded it.When he was about to step out, he was pulled into the grass by a force──

"Who is there?!"

The guard's voice sounded not far away, and only the sound of chaotic footsteps came towards Jinying's position.In the grass, Jinying held her breath, her right hand was tightly clasped with the hand holding her.

It wasn't until the footsteps gradually faded away that Jinying breathed a sigh of relief. "It turned out that there were guards outside the door. I was wondering why there were no soldiers guarding the door?"

"Of course there will be guards." Another person in the grass spoke in a tone that was half worried and half complaining.

"Jang Geum, why did you come here?"

"I want to help you."

Jang Geum's clear eyes seemed to shine into the darkest and deepest corners of her heart, making it impossible for her to hide any secrets.How could Jang Geum see the fragility of her heart so easily?

Seeing that Jinying didn't speak, Jang Geum just continued talking. "During the day, I saw you looking around in the palace. Are you looking for the golden rooster? It happens that the empress Han Shanggong is not here. I have already asked Liansheng, let's go together."

"It's more helpful than you leaving the palace alone. I can also ask Uncle Deku about the golden rooster." Thinking that Jinying is still worried about leaving the palace, Jang Geum gave a smile. "Come with me, maybe you can sneak out of the palace without being noticed. I know there is a place to get out, hurry up."

The moment Jinying held Jang Geum's hand, she refused to let go.

A court lady who goes out of the palace in private will be severely punished, and even kicked out of the palace. Jang Geum is the same as himself, and he is very clear about these regulations.For the little court lady of the same period, everyone is happy to see her Cui Jinying ruined, but why is Jang Geum willing to accompany her out of the palace, why is he willing to hold his hand tightly when she is in the most pain?

"Jang Geum, why are you so nice to me?"

Jang Jin was struggling to open the rusty iron gate, so that the two of them could get through. "What did you just say Jinying?"

Jinying shook his head, but did not answer.This is another secret Jinying wants to keep in her heart besides Min Jungho.

I was lucky enough to escape from the palace just now, but suddenly flames appeared from behind, and people kept shouting: "Someone has escaped from the palace, hurry up!"

Chang Jin hurriedly pulled Jinying all the way, but seeing that Chang Jin was about to circle back like a headless chicken, Jin Ying hurriedly grabbed Chang Jin, and at this moment the guards holding the torches caught up from behind──

The guard looked at the two women in front of him and asked suspiciously:

"Someone just escaped from the back door of the palace, was it you?"

Seeing that the guards were not sure, Changjin said anxiously, "How is it possible? We...we just came to the capital from Yangzhou yesterday to look for relatives. We got lost and couldn't find relatives' homes, so we came here by accident."

"Really? Then who are your relatives?"

"It's Mr. Cui Banshu! I heard that he is a giant merchant in Liuyidian, Hanyang!" Jinying quickly picked up Jang Geum's words, and followed Xinbi Dandan.

The corners of Jang Jin's mouth raised slightly, but his face was still serious as he said: "Yes, I heard that he is a very famous businessman!"

The guard heard that the two mentioned Cui Panshu's name, and he was a big shot that he could not offend in eight lifetimes. Although he still had doubts, it was better to do too much than to do little. Elsewhere searched for escapees from the palace.

When the flames were far away, Jinying and Jang Geum looked at each other and smiled. Their youthful temperament made them temporarily forget the danger they would face next.In the dark night, there is only a slight glimpse of the moonlight, illuminating the two holding hands and the faint laughter.

Knocking on the door of Cui's mansion, Jinying met her uncle as she wished, explaining the ins and outs of the matter.

"What? What are you talking about! After entering the palace, the maids are not allowed to leave the palace unless they become corpses. How could you do such a foolish thing!"

"Uncle, please help me. If I can't find the golden rooster, something will happen to me and Empress Shanggong."

"Then you go back to the palace first, I will try my best to find a golden rooster."

Hearing her uncle's advice, Jinying showed a determined look on her face. "I can't go back now. I have to find the golden rooster to go back. Anyway, the crime of sneaking out of the palace, or the crime of losing the golden rooster brought by the envoy, is no different. Moreover, if I can't find the golden rooster, it is not my personal problem. It will implicate the imperial kitchen and even cause problems for the court, so I must personally bring the golden rooster back to the palace."

Cui Panshu sighed helplessly. "I see. I'll try my best to find it. But it's getting dark, so it's a bit difficult."

"I must find it, I must!"

"Jinying, it seems that it's not easy to find a golden rooster today, so I'll go to Uncle Deku and ask about it first." After Cui Panshu left, Jang Geum said worriedly.

Jin Ying just shook her head irritably.

"Even if Uncle De Jiu doesn't have one, he must know some merchants who specialize in buying and selling specific ingredients. I'll come back as soon as I go."

Seeing that Jang Geum was about to get up, Jinying quickly stopped her and handed her a bag of coins. "I'll see you tomorrow at you hour. You must come back at the latest at you hour, and you must be in the place before Xu hour. Don't worry about going back to the palace, I will arrange it."

"Understood, I will definitely come back."

"Jang Geum──" Jin Ying shouted unconsciously. "I'll go with you, don't worry."

"You have to stay here and wait for the news. I will definitely be back soon."

"But……"

"Jinying, I have never lied to you, have I? No matter what I say, I will always be the first to tell you." Jang Jin patted the back of Jinying's hand reassuringly. "That's the same, I'll be back soon because I never lie to you."

Jinying let go of Jang Geum's hand.

But that day, she waited until the hour of Xu was approaching, but in the end Cui Shanggong pulled her back to Leng Sen's palace alone.
