After time travel, I became the emperor's substitute dessert chef

It has been a year since Xiao Tianchen ascended the throne, and the harem is still deserted, every morning and morning all the civil and military officials have to remind him.

"A country cannot live without a descendant!"

Xiao Tianchen's ears were numb from hearing it, and every time he would discuss it later, for some reason these days, He Min's face was substituted in his mind.

If He Min becomes the queen...won't the whole harem be turned upside down by him?

"If you have something to play, you will retreat."

In two days it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday, as usual the emperor will go to the Empress Dowager's Palace to pay her respects and discuss the matter of the birthday banquet.

Xiao Tianchen stood at the gate of Cishou Palace, frowning, fists clenched, veins bulging.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been waiting for a long time." Eunuch Li reminded.

Xiao Tianchen took a deep breath, instantly changed into a smiling face, and entered the Cishou Palace.

The queen mother is in the Buddhist hall at the moment.

Xiao Tianchen entered the Buddhist hall, and saw the Empress Dowager was kneeling in front of a Guanyin Buddha statue with her eyes closed, reciting a long string of Buddhist beads.

Xiao Tianchen signaled the maidservant to keep silent, and he stood quietly aside, but his eyes were dim.

The three sticks of incense in front of the Avalokitesvara statue were filled with smoke and sandalwood, but Xiao Tianchen obviously couldn't meditate.

After an incense stick of time, the queen mother slowly opened her eyes, and motioned to the maid beside her to help her up.

Turning around and seeing Xiao Tianchen behind him, he pretended to be surprised: "When the emperor came, the Ai family didn't even know."

Instead, he pretended to blame the maidservant beside him and said, "You are ignorant, but you didn't report the emperor's arrival. How did you manage the job?"

The servant girl fell to her knees in a panic: "Your servant deserves to die, your servant deserves to die."

"Queen Mother, it's my servant who didn't let her report, it's none of her business." Xiao Tianchen stepped forward to support the Queen Mother, and the two went to the inner hall and sat down together.

"Prince, you still love my servant so much. How did your mother teach you that as a monarch, you should be cruel and not indecisive. If your mother hadn't helped you deal with that little bitch back then, how could you..."

"Pa—" the teacup in Xiao Tianchen's hand suddenly shattered, blocking what the Queen Mother wanted to say.

"The workmanship of the cups in the mother's harem is so poor that the son broke before he could use his strength. It's my fault that I startled my mother. I will send someone to give a good set to my mother later." Xiao Tianchen took out a piece from his cuff Huang Pa wiped his hands.

"Is the emperor's hand injured?" The Empress Dowager looked very worried, and wanted to pull Xiao Tianchen's hand over to have a look, but Xiao Tianchen dodged subconsciously.

"No problem."

The Empress Dowager's hand was hanging in the air, and she didn't take it away, so she picked up the teacup on the table and signaled the maidservant to clean up the broken teacup.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

It was Xiao Tianchen who spoke first, "Mother, your birthday will be in a few days, and my son invited the best dim sum chef and chef to prepare a birthday banquet for you."

Although Xiao Tianchen said this to the Queen Mother, he still lowered his head and wiped his hands in an orderly manner. Although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"The emperor has a heart. The queen mother heard that you brought someone back a few days ago?"

"It's just a master who can make some snacks. I'll forget about it later." Xiao Tianchen's hands trembled slightly, and he looked up with an expression of indifference.

"But how did the queen mother hear that the servants called him He Niangniang?" The queen mother put down the teacup, twirled the Buddha beads lightly, and asked casually.

"There is such a thing? I didn't know it. The queen mother was well informed. This kid dared to be so delusional. I will definitely let someone teach him the rules later."

"It's not a good thing. The wild boys brought in from outside are so ignorant of the rules. It's not because you are too soft-hearted, Huang Er, and there is no one behind you to manage the harem for you."

The queen mother picked up a piece of mung bean cake on the table and put it into her mouth, took a bite and frowned slightly.

"This pastry is getting worse and worse. It seems that the cook should be replaced." After speaking, he took out a silk handkerchief from his cuff and wiped the corner of his mouth, "Hey, the emperor just said that the person you recruited is good at making pastries. ?”

The Empress Dowager paused, raised her eyes slightly to observe Xiao Tianchen's expression, and said, "It happens that the Empress Dowager's mouth has always felt boring these days, so the Emperor is willing to put that person in the Empress Dowager's Palace?"

"When did the son that the queen mother wants say that she is not willing to give up, but he is just a cook." Xiao Tianchen handed another cake on the table, bergamot cake, to the queen mother, which made people feel like a kind mother and filial piety look like.

"However, if he doesn't understand the rules, he might offend the queen mother. Let your son choose a better one for you."

The queen mother took the bergamot cake with a handkerchief, and said, "You don't need to be so troublesome, just let him."

The queen mother put the bergamot cakes back on the plate on the table.

Xiao Tianchen's eyes darkened when he saw the Queen Mother's movement.

Obviously the queen mother didn't want to give the emperor this face.

Feeling that something was wrong again, he took the emperor's hand and put it on the palm of his hand pretending to be affectionate, and patted it, "It happens that the mother can teach him the rules, and if you really like it in the future, it will be easy to receive it when the mother teaches the rules." Be a caring person around you."

"I'm sorry for your empress, thank you, empress." Xiao Tianchen withdrew his hand, stood up and cupped his hands.

"You and I, mother and son, what is there to thank for this, please sit down."

The queen mother waved her hand and smiled kindly, "Don't blame the queen mother for talking too much, because there is no one in your harem, and Aijia will take care of the chores in the harem for you."

"When will you be willing to accept the queen? The royal family is already sparsely populated, and now only you and Cheng'er are left. Poor Cheng'er is weak, and the important matter of filling up the royal heir has fallen on your head."

"My son is still young." Xiao Tianchen prevaricated.

"Twenty, still young. Your father already had his first prince at your age."

Seeing that Xiao Tianchen didn't speak, the queen mother said again: "The Ai family met the grand master's daughter Jie'er a few days ago, and she was born more and more fresh. The family is really happy. She is still your cousin, who knows everything..."

"Mother, I remembered that I have made an appointment with General Wu to discuss the matter. We will discuss this matter again..." Xiao Tianchen interrupted the Empress Dowager, and quickly got up to salute.

"Eunuch Li, go back to the imperial study."

As soon as he stepped out of the Cishou Palace, Xiao Tianchen immediately ordered Xiao Xiazi beside him: "Immediately summon He Min to the Imperial Study Room!"

After He Min had finally been idle for a few days, Xiao Xiazi came.

"The servant sees Mr. He."

"Xiao Xiazi? You also came here to ask for something to eat? It's a coincidence that you came here. The cake has just started making, so wait a little longer." He Min only cared about beating the cream in his hand.

"Young master, the emperor sent a slave to announce your audience."

"Xiao Tianchen? If you don't tell me, I'd forget it. It just stopped for a few days."

He Min whipped the egg whites extremely fast, and the fresh white cream gradually took shape. "What happened to him again, forget it, let him wait, I can't do without people."

"This, this... Your Majesty, don't embarrass this slave. You are late, and the emperor can't bear to blame you. The slave is the one who suffers."

Xiao Xiazi trembled when he heard He Min's words.

"You told me to call me by my name, what kind of lady, how can such an old man like me look like a lady?" He Min paused the movements of his hands, and rolled his eyes at Xiao Xiazi slightly dissatisfied.

"Then you just say that I'm making delicious food for him and tell him to wait for me obediently."

Xiao Xiazi got the order and hurried back to the imperial study, so he didn't dare to tell the emperor truthfully, so he had to say that Mr. He was carefully preparing snacks for the emperor and he would be there soon.

The corners of Xiao Tianchen's mouth turned upwards. After not coming to him for so long, he was developing new snacks for him. He was thinking of how to please him. As expected, he guessed correctly that this He Min was playing hard to get.

Half an hour later, He Min packed the freshly baked small cakes, and walked to the imperial study with the food box on his shoulders, but Xiao Lizi happened to be sent by him to prepare other materials, so he didn't follow.

But he didn't expect that He Min's way would be stopped by a group of young eunuchs led by a father-in-law who looked so mean.

"You are He Min? You really look a lot like that Yunlin. They both look so charming that I can't help feeling sorry for them. No wonder the emperor likes them."
