Uneasy

The little eunuch bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Forget it, give him some money." Zhang Guifei waved her hand.

Xiaocui, the maid of honor, quickly handed over some broken silver, and the little eunuch took the reward and left quickly.

"Why is it An Lu again? That's right, sister Empress is the biggest beneficiary this time." Zhang Guifei sneered.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something." Her personal maid, Xiao Cui, said cautiously.

"Say." Concubine Zhang was a little impatient.

"Now that the queen's goal has been achieved, then Anlu must be dispensable to the queen. We can't move the queen, can a little Anlu be moved?" Xiaocui said.

"But..." Concubine Zhang still hesitated, such a move was undoubtedly a provocation to the queen.

"Your Majesty, before An Lu stayed in the portering department for a period of time, she didn't see the empress interfering. What's more, now that she has helped the empress achieve success, she has not even entered the Fengqi Palace. One can imagine the value of the empress." Xiao Xiao Cui continued to persuade.

Concubine Zhang's eyes became firm, and she quite agreed with Xiaocui's opinion in her heart.

"This Palace has its own thoughts."

Xiao Cui had a long time with Concubine Zhang, and seeing her tone, she knew that she was moved by him.A gleam of success flashed in his eyes.At this time, An Lu, who was in the delicacy room, didn't know that he was being targeted again.

The author has something to say:

(Cheng Bin, a tool man, wherever needs to be moved!)

13. Flying misfortune

Ever since becoming a steward, with Dongzhu's care, An Lu has been able to walk sideways in the delicacy room.The only pity is that she lost the opportunity to "take the sheep by the hand", which made her food a lot inferior.

"Where's the manager here?" Xiaocui appeared at the door of the delicacy room, accompanied by two court ladies.

"Miss Xiaocui, please wait, I'll call our steward An here." The palace maid who was waiting outside hurried forward and said.

"Ah."

Soon, An Lu came out.As one of the stewards, she was in charge of delivering meals.

"What is the lady in the palace looking for?" An Lu already knew Xiao Cui's identity from the mouth of the leading lady, and his heart skipped a beat.However, she did not show that she knew the other party, hoping to reduce the other party's guard.

"The imperial concubine wants a mung bean cake to satisfy her cravings, and ask the people from the delicacy room to deliver it." Xiaocui said.

"Yes, yes. I will give orders at once."

Upon hearing this, the maid who was waiting at the side walked in quickly without waiting for orders, and quickly took out two portions of mung bean cake.One cold, one warm.For food like pastries, the delicacy room is always available.

"Let's go." Seeing that the mung bean cake was ready, Xiao Cui turned around and prepared to leave.

The little maid carrying mung bean cake was about to follow immediately, but was stopped by two maids beside Xiaocui.The little maid looked puzzled.

"You can enter the imperial concubine's palace casually? Are you right, Manager An?" Xiao Cui's voice was not too high or low, and it happened to be heard by An Lu who was about to leave.

The bad feeling in An Lu's heart became more and more intense, and he immediately pulled a little eunuch who usually got along well, and whispered in a low voice:

"Hurry up and find Director Dong, and tell her that I'm going to deliver mung bean cakes to the imperial concubine."

Seeing the little eunuch nodding his head, An Lu suddenly realized

"Yes, I was promoted just now, and I don't understand some of the rules. Thank you, Sister Palace, for reminding me."

When Xiao Cui heard this, she felt disdainful, and continued: "If you don't understand, you have to ask more questions. You have only been in charge for a few days. If something goes wrong, it will be a waste of time."

An Lu took the mung bean cake from the little maid, but didn't say anything after hearing it.It seemed that the other party was either not afraid of the queen, or he was sure that he would not be able to get the queen's protection.She secretly prayed that she would meet Dongzhu on the road, but unfortunately things backfired.

Not long after Xiaocui and his party left, the little eunuch ordered by An Lu also left to look for Dongzhu.

An Lu followed Xiao Cui, observing the surrounding environment from time to time.Dong Zhu had mentioned it before, so An Lu knew the way.I dare not say that she knows the whole palace, but she remembers the palace of the empress and the fourth concubine clearly.The path at the beginning was still correct, but the path became more and more wrong as it progressed.

The imperial concubine's palace is not a cold palace, so this road is getting more and more desolate.The more it looks, the more it looks like a necessary place for murder and burial.However, in order not to alert the three of them, An Lu didn't make a sound.

Because she had been mentally prepared, An Lu was not very surprised, and secretly estimated that the two plates of mung bean cakes would contribute to her escape.

Because she was thinking all the time, she unconsciously slowed down her pace.

"What are you dawdling about?" Xiao Cui looked back from time to time because she was worried that An Lu would escape.It soon became apparent that An Lu was about to fall behind, and she didn't know whether she did it on purpose or not.

"It's the palace lady who left too fast." An Lu said with a smile, now is not the best time, not to mention the appearance of the two palace ladies beside Xiaocui, because they are not just weak palace ladies.

"So..." Xiao Cui didn't notice An Lu's abnormality.She just frowned slightly in order not to cause trouble, and winked at the two court ladies behind her, and the three of them gradually slowed down.

An Lu was still secretly happy that he had more time to think, and then he realized that the position of the three of them actually meant to surround her.Seeing that the road is getting more and more remote, An Lu is a little anxious. The original idea of ​​delaying Dongzhu to find her seems impossible.

She needs to find a way to save herself.

She deliberately slowed down again, and the three had no choice but to slow down in order to keep an eye on her.The three of them didn't do anything because they didn't arrive at the place they set.Taking this opportunity, An Lu observed the encirclement again.Obviously, Xiaocui is the leader among them but also the one with the worst force value, An Lu decided to give it a go.

"Ah!" She suddenly cried out in pain, then twisted her foot as if she was about to fall, and her body fell in Xiaocui's direction intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Cui who was standing beside her subconsciously stepped forward to support her.Before she could touch An Lu, An Lu exerted force on her waist and regained her balance. The plate of mung bean cake in her hand slapped Xiaocui's face at the moment when Xiaocui was in a daze, and the cold mung bean cake instantly became mushy. Xiao Cui's face was filled with embarrassment.An Lu continued his efforts, and the mung bean cake in the other hand also unequivocally smashed towards the side of her head.

The original owner was used to doing farm work, and An Lu also stayed in the moving department for a while.Although her work was secretly reduced by Cheng Bin, she really got acquainted with the strength of the original owner, and these two exhalations were enough to make Xiaocui feel dazed for a while.Therefore, there is also a gap in the encirclement.

Taking advantage of Xiaocui's head being smashed into a dizzy state, An Lu immediately escaped from the siege of the three, and ran back regardless of Sanqi 21.Even if you can't escape, you can buy yourself more time.

Seeing that Xiao Cui was being attacked, the two maids following Xiao Cui didn't react for a while.Standing there, I don't know whether to take care of Xiao Cui or chase An Lu.

"Why are you still in a daze, don't you remember the imperial concubine's order?" Xiaocui's distraught voice sounded.

The two maids exchanged winks, and one of them went after An Lu; the other lifted Xiao Cui from the ground, and brought her to a nearby open space to rest.

"Miss Xiaocui, rest for a while."

"Hurry up, otherwise it won't be so easy to let her escape." Xiao Cui said.

An Lu ran for a distance without daring to look back.Even so, she soon heard faint footsteps.She couldn't help but look back: Good guy, the distance between one of the maids and herself is rapidly shortening.Looking at the way the wind was blowing under her feet, it was obvious that she was Lian Jiazi.

The survival instinct made An Lu desperate, even though her legs were gradually losing strength, she still ran back with all her might.She could feel the air in her lungs getting thinner, and she couldn't help opening her mouth wide to take in more oxygen.The wind kept pouring into the throat, pain like a knife cut.At this time, she only hated why the palace is so big and there are so few people!

When she turned her head for the second time, she found that the two maids were even closer to her this time.One of them picked up the speed again, and stretched out his arm to grab An Lu's shoulder.An Lu's legs seemed to have been wound up again, and the originally mechanical legs sped up and made a small sprint.

However, this was the final outburst for An Lu; the two maids only sped up their speed a little, and then both of them stretched out together to catch An Lu again.An Lu's heart faltered, and suddenly she lowered her body as if she had been tripped, and her inertia made her stagger forward two more steps.

The sudden lowering of the body made the two maids catch the air again, but An Lu's legs seemed to be drained of strength because of such a small pause, and now the whole person fell to the ground.

"Death struggle." One person laughed.

Just as she approached An Lu, An Lu, who had been prepared for a long time, grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and threw it at the face of the palace maid who was about to capture her.The maid subconsciously closed her eyes, just when An Lu thought things were going to turn around, the maid's hand still grabbed An Lu accurately.

Soon, another court lady also stepped forward and subdued An Lu with ease.

"Unlucky!" The court lady who had been humiliated cursed fiercely, but she managed to catch him.

...

The little eunuch left the delicacy room to look for Dongzhu according to An Lu's instructions, but he was not sure where Dongzhu was.And dare not leave the delicacy room so as not to miss the winter bamboo back.I could only wait in front of the delicacy room, scratching my ears and cheeks anxiously.

Coincidentally, Dong Zhu's figure appeared in the opposite direction of An Lu, causing An Lu and her to miss it.However, the little eunuch saw Dong Zhu's figure.

The little eunuch rushed forward to stop Dongzhu.

"Director Dong..." the little eunuch was panting.

"What's the matter?" Although Dongzhu is the supervisor of the outer court, he is usually friendly and only slightly frowned when the little eunuch was rude, his intuition was wrong.

Sure enough, when he opened his mouth, Dongzhu felt that something was wrong.

"An, Manager An asked me to tell you that she has gone to deliver mung bean cakes to the imperial concubine."

"Imperial concubine? When did this happen?" Dongzhu's tone was a little anxious.

Seeing Dong Zhu's reaction, the little eunuch was overjoyed, it seemed that he did not help the wrong person.Steward An and Supervisor Dong have a close relationship, this time I helped Steward An make a good impression in front of Supervisor Dong...

Although there were already thoughts in his mind, the little eunuch didn't show it on the face, and quickly answered Dongzhu's question

"It's not long, it's just the opposite direction from you."

While talking, the little eunuch also recounted the conversation between An Lu and Xiao Cui to Dongzhu.

After hearing this, Dongzhu raised his brows.Xiaocui is the personal servant girl of the imperial concubine, and even if she passes by in her own capacity, it will not help, so she can only ask the queen for help.She glanced at the clever eunuch again, her expression relaxed, and she smiled slightly:

"Well, I see. By the way, what's your name?"

As soon as the little eunuch heard it, he knew there was a door. He couldn't hide his joy, and his tone was a little excited: "The villain Wang Fu."

"Well, Wang Fu, I will give you a credit for this one."

Wang Fu was also very sensible. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he didn't make any fuss. After saluting, he left.

Seeing Wang Fu leave, Dongzhu's face immediately became serious. After returning to the delicacy room, she also took two mung bean cakes before returning the same way.

Fengqi Palace...

"Miss, Dongzhu is back again." Xia Shuang reported.

14. Turn bad luck into good fortune

Bu Qinyan's writing hand paused, thinking about the reason why Dongzhu, who had just left, came back.Soon she thought of a reason.

"Xia Shuang, you need to find three court ladies who are capable first."

Xia Shuang was a little puzzled by Bu Qinyan's instructions, but she quickly nodded and left.

"Let her in."

"Your maidservant sees your empress." Dongzhu came in to salute, and the maid following behind was holding two plates of mung bean cakes.

"Why didn't the matter be finished at once?"

"Returning to my lord, just now when my servant returned home, I saw the maidservant of the imperial concubine coming to the delicacy room to get mung bean cakes. The servant thought that maybe the empress also wanted mung bean cakes to satisfy her hunger, so I sent some over here on my own initiative." Dongzhu then raised his eyes to look at the queen. He replied, but he didn't see Xia Shuang.It is estimated that the queen already knows the purpose of her trip.

As Dongzhu said, he winked at the maid behind him, and the maid came forward with mung bean cake.

"Huh? Let it go first."

After the maid put down the mung bean cake, Dongzhu's eyes signaled that she left with interest.

Seeing that Dongzhu was still standing there without moving, Buqinyan raised her head.Seemingly inadvertently asking: "I don't know that the concubine's younger sister likes to eat mung bean cakes, but it was my oversight. Who gave the mung bean cakes? If you clumsily bump into the imperial concubine, I am the only one to ask."

"Returning to your empress, the one who sent it was a new steward named An Lu. The maidservant is worried that she will be new in office, and if she doesn't understand the rules, she will offend the imperial concubine, so I have come to ask the empress for instructions." Dong Zhu followed Bu Qinyan's words. .

Bu Qinyan put down the brush in her hand. Although she had expected it, she didn't know who the concubine was bewitched by, and she was so anxious to do it twice in a row.Do you really feel that there is a prince by your side and you can't touch her?

"Xia Shuang." Bu Qinyan called out to Xia Shuang who just came back.

"What's your order?"

"I think they haven't returned to Huarong Palace yet, so you should go and deliver this mung bean cake to the imperial concubine. Also help me care about the imperial concubine's sister."

"Yes." Only then did Xia Shuang know what her lady wanted.

After receiving the Queen's order, the two left Fengqi Palace very quickly.

"Director Xia, do you know any secluded places near Huarong Palace?"

Xia Shuang thought for a while, and soon had a goal, and said, "Come with me."

...

Despite An Lu's constant struggle, he was dragged in front of Xiaocui by two court ladies.At this moment, Xiao Cui had recovered, and stared at An Lu with fiery eyes.Having been humiliated by her just now, Xiaocui wished she could kill her with his eyes.

"You will commit the next offense, but I will teach you a lesson this time."

"Heh, you and I are both servants, what are you doing?" An Lu sneered.

"You are the only one who can be compared with me." Enraged by An Lu's words, Xiao Cui looked around to find a handy tool to teach him a lesson.

"Miss Xiaocui, don't worry too much about her as she is dying. The imperial concubine's orders are important." One of the sensible maids advised.

Xiaocui calmed down a little bit, but also worried that things would change later.An Lu has been secretly watching Xiao Cui's expression, secretly complaining in his heart.Because she was half dragged here, her legs were not restrained.Therefore, An Lu, who had stopped struggling at first, seemed to be stimulated by the phrase "a dying person", and his legs kept kicking.Some dirt inevitably rubbed onto Xiaocui's clothes, which also made her anger that had just subsided suddenly flare up again.

An Lu was quickly subdued again, and now she was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

The two maids were still awake, even though they were clearly aware of An Lu's intentions, they did not dare to persuade Xiao Cui anymore.After all, they don't want to get angry, and this place is not far from that place, so generally no one will come.They did not join Xiaocui's actions, but let her out, praying secretly that nothing would go wrong.

There is a law in the world - Murphy's Law.With An Lu sparing no effort to delay the time, coupled with Xia Shuang's familiarity with the palace, An Lu finally delayed until the arrival of the rescuers.

"Miss Xiaocui, someone is here." The two maids who were letting the wind quickly spotted the figure in the distance and immediately reminded Xiaocui.

At this time, Xiao Cui just woke up like a dream, and she glanced at An Lu bitterly, and received a provocative look.

"Hold her up and leave quickly." But at this moment, Xiao Cui only wanted to leave, so she didn't continue to torment An Lu.

An Lu quit, even though his body was in pain, he still tried his best to trip up the three of them.In addition, Xiao Cui's physical strength is not as good as An Lu's. The two maids have to deal with An Lu's struggle and accommodate Xiao Cui's physical strength. After walking a short distance, they are caught up by Xia Shuang behind him.

"Xiao Cui." Xia Shuang said loudly, as the maid beside the empress, and she is also the head of the palace, even Xiao Cui did not dare to go on.Before that, she could argue that she couldn't see, but now she absolutely can't.

"Uh, it's Manager Xia!" Xiaocui pretended to be surprised.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?" Xia Shuang glanced at An Lu, seemingly genuinely curious.

"Uh, this..." Xiaocui's eyes dodged a little, but soon she saw the shattered pastry in the distance, and immediately said confidently:

"Boss Xia, it's a good job for you to come, but you should deal with this lowly servant girl properly."

Without waiting for Xia Shuang to speak, she continued to cry: "Our mother wanted mung bean cakes to satisfy her cravings, so she ordered me to go to the delicacy room to get the cakes. In the end, the new manager of the delicacy room did not know whether he was careless or dissatisfied with our mother. Just walking here There was a flat fall on the flat road, and the two pastries were smashed into pieces. I just taught her a few words, but she also contradicted her."

An Lu listened to her half-truth and half-fake narration, and there was no wave in his heart.Just by looking at the positions of the two, An Lu knew that Xiaocui's sophistry was useless.

"It's hard for me to judge just from your side. I'd better ask the other party." Xia Shuang pondered for a while.

"How can it be said that it is one-sided, there are two witnesses here?"

"When will the decision made by the chief manager make you talk too much!" Dong Zhu scolded.

Xiaocui's defense was quickly swallowed by Xia Shuang's threatening eyes.

"Tell me." Xia Shuang handed the conversation to An Lu.

"Boss Xia Mingjian, the servant delivered the cakes in a good manner. It was clearly Miss Xiaocui who tripped the servant on purpose. Then forced the charge of disrespect on the servant's head. After hearing what they said..." Because I know Xia Shuang is the queen For those close to her, her tone was extremely respectful.

After a pause, she continued: "I said that this servant is a dying person, and this is why this servant resisted." While speaking, An Lu showed Xia Shuang the wound that Xiaocui left just now and caused when she struggled with herself.

"The manager doesn't know that you still have the right to dispose of the maid at will?" Xia Shuang's eyes pierced Xiaocui.

Xiao Cui deeply regrets that she was provoked by An Lu, if she had taken him away long ago, there would be nothing like this.Seeing that the matter was about to fall through, she didn't care about killing An Lu, and she was only thinking about how to get herself out.

"Boss Xia was wronged! It's clear that she was the one who spoke rudely first, and those wounds are just a little lesson I taught her. As for the tripping thing, it's even more nonsense, she obviously directed and acted on her own."

"According to what you said, how many times should I be punished if I uttered the word 'I' to the manager just now?" Xia Shuang sneered.

"This…"

"What's more, there should be a special execution department for contradicting your boss, not your abuse of lynching. Do you really think you are the master? Or do you think your master can ride on the empress's head and ignore the palace rules?" Xia Xia Shuang buckled down one hat after another, blocking Xiaocui so much that she couldn't speak a word.The last sentence extinguished her arrogance even more, the person in front of her was the queen's confidant, and she really couldn't challenge him now.

"Go back and tell your master that the imperial palace is not a place where she can cover the sky with one hand. The Empress Dowager just doesn't think it's necessary, so don't go too far." Xia Shuang said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Cui replied quickly, for fear that Xia Shuang would really send her to the Execution Division.

After the three of them left, An Lu also had to be relieved, and took a quick look at Dongzhu before saluting.

"Slave, thank you, Manager Xia."

"You don't need to worry in a short time, but it is impossible for the imperial concubine to let you go like this." Xia Shuang said meaningfully.

"I'd like to ask Director Xia to give me a point or two."

"If you enter Fengqi Palace, I believe that the next time the imperial concubine takes action, she will carefully weigh the consequences."

"If the queen empress can have such a kind servant girl, I will be grateful." This time, An Lu didn't hold back, and the queen's olive branch was handed to him. If he didn't know what to do, he would be truly alone and helpless.

Seeing that Dongzhu can easily find Xia Shuang today, there is no doubt that she is the Queen's man.Moreover, I have already seriously offended the noble concubine. In this palace, who else can suppress the noble concubine except the empress?Therefore, An Lu answered readily.

Xia Shuang was a little surprised by her straightforward answer.Before, my master forced this person several times, but in the end she was like a piece of wood, kicking and taking a step, looking like she would not be able to get through this muddy water after being beaten to death. Could it be that she finally resigned to her fate today?

Xia Shuang was right to a certain extent, but when she saw An Lu's salted fish appearance in Fengxi Palace later, she knew that wood was still wood, and it would not move until it was hit by a big fire.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Xia Shuang was about to leave, but was stopped by Dongzhu again.

"Manager Xia."

"what's up?"

"After Steward An left, the steward's position became vacant. I don't know if there is any suitable candidate for the Empress." Dongzhu asked for instructions.

"You can arrange it as you like." Xia Shuang said, and she took people back to Fengqi Palace after speaking.

After Xia Shuang left, An Lu and Dong Zhu walked back side by side.The two knew it was time to part soon.

Xia Shuang returned to Fengqi Palace and reported the incident to Bu Qinyan, then said:

"Miss, do you want to pass the decree immediately or delay it for a while?"

"Tomorrow morning. Give us some time to say goodbye."

"There is still one steward short of the restaurant." Bu Qinyan continued.

"Your maidservant knows." Xia Shuang left to write the will after finishing speaking.

Bu Qinyan rested her chin in contemplation. According to An Lu's performance today, she is becoming more and more interested in her...

"Yingyi, I'll check this An Lu carefully for Ben Gong. Especially the origin of that jade."

"Yes, master." A figure appeared in the dark, and soon disappeared again.

15. A must for time travel

"Sister Dongzhu, thanks to you again this time." An Lu was the first to open the conversation.

"Thanks to your cleverness, the little eunuch who reported to you is called Wang Fu, and I am going to let her take your place."

"No wonder Sister Dongzhu asked, it turned out to be premeditated." An Lu paused, and then returned to the topic they didn't want to talk about.

"Why does Sister Dongzhu stay in the delicacy room? In terms of closeness, you should be closer to the empress."

"Or we leave together."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have concealed it from you." Although An Lu already knew about it, Dongzhu still raised it and said solemnly.

"I told you before that there are no spies from the empress in the delicacy room, I need to stay." Dong Zhu could hear the reluctance in An Lu's tone.

"Then I can stay and help you." An Lu said, Dongzhu was the first person she met during time travel, which is of great significance.

"You have a heart, and it will help me more to work with the empress in the future." Dong Zhu pretended to be stupid.

"What's more, you and I are still in the palace, there will always be a day to meet." Dongzhu comforted again.

"Hmm! In the future, I will have to walk around with Sister Dongzhu more, so Sister Dongzhu should not despise me."

"You must not dislike it."

However, both of them knew that this was just talk.

In the evening, An Lu came to Dongzhu's room to have a long talk.Later, maybe at night people would think wildly, chatting with An Lu and crying without warning.This made Dongzhu flustered.

"Sister Dongzhu, I, I can't bear you." An Lu said sincerely.

"Don't be so excited, it's not that Yin and Yang are separated, and we are both in the palace, so it's not difficult to meet." Dongzhu could only comfort him.

"But the palace is so big. I'm in Fengqi Palace, and you're in the delicacy room. Huh, huh..." An Lu cried more and more sadly, making Dong Zhu stunned, inexplicably infected, and his eyes were a little red.

She patted An Lu's back lightly, and finally couldn't bear to say:

"I will report to the Empress every once in a while, and then I will see if I can ask Grace to let me visit you."

"Really?" An Lu raised his head in surprise, with tears in his eyes, but a smile on his face.

"En." Dong Zhu, who had regretted a little earlier, immediately agreed.

The next day, An Lu received the queen's decree and was sent to Fengqi Palace to become the steward of the dining room, which can be regarded as a half-level promotion.And in Fengqi Palace, besides the queen and Xia Shuang, she is also in charge, as long as she doesn't offend these two people, she can go sideways.

An Lu followed the eunuch Xiao Li who led the way to the dining room. Besides Xiao Li, the dining room also had Chef Zhang Yu, plus two other court ladies, there were five people in total.Because they only need to be responsible for the meals of the queen, their work is quite easy.

An Lu didn't leave any good memories in Fengqi Palace, and most of them were in awe of the empress.Therefore, since the empress did not summon her, An Lu would never take the initiative to invite her.After a few days of adaptation, An Lu settled down without the initial trembling.Moreover, Zhang Yuchu and the others are easy to get along with, and An Lu quickly became friends with them.Especially Zhang Yuchu - An Lu, as a social animal, can't bear her wallet if she eats takeaway every day, but her body can't bear the instant noodles every day, so An Lu has to learn to cook.As a result, Yixue found that she had a good talent in cooking, and cooking was one of the few times she had time to relax.This also promoted An Lu's study of cooking skills, so her cooking skills can be regarded as above-average.

Once she was really bored, so she borrowed Zhang Yuchu's stove to show off.As a result, the two collided and sparked in cooking.Whenever they are bored, they will discuss with each other. When An Lu proposes some ideas, Zhang Yuchu will also try to do them if conditions permit.Of course, An Lu can't play tricks in front of the imperial chef, but she was surprised to find out from Zhang Yuchu's mouth that the research on food in this dynasty is not very thorough. At least a few familiar techniques are not here: fried, exploded and fried. It has been developed, but there is still a lack of research on halogen.

And Xiao Li and the others also took advantage of it, after all, those fresh meals were the only part of their diet.

"Uncle Zhang, what ingredients were left from yesterday?" Early in the morning, An Lu was thinking about where to store the ingredients.Because yesterday was the emperor's visit, the food was richer and there were more ingredients left.

"I was just going to tell the manager that there was some meat left yesterday, and some vegetables." Zhang Yuchu was a little excited, knowing that even the chances of them eating meat were pitiful.

An Lu's eyes lit up, and the meat recipes in his mind finally had a place to use.When she saw the weight, she could only twitch the corners of her mouth helplessly.The leftover meat is not enough to make a dish!Seeing the rest of the food, suddenly her eyes lit up and said:

"I have a new dish."

Several people looked at her with surprised eyes, you must know that Guanshi An's new food is amazing.

She asked several people to work together to slice the remaining food into thin slices, and then directly cooked a pot of white porridge as the base.Then, she directly put the food on the plate under the bewildered eyes of several people.

"Come on, don't stand still."

"But, this food isn't cooked yet?" Although they were a little confused, they gathered around the pot of white porridge in view of An Lu's good performance in the past few times.

So An Lu took the lead in picking up a piece of meat, put it on the boiling porridge and rinsed it, and when the meat was cooked, she put it on the seasoning dish prepared in advance, and with a squeak, the piece of meat was swallowed .

"This is called congee bottom hot pot, like the meat just now, thanks to Uncle Zhang's knife skills, the thin slices of meat are cooked immediately after being scalded by the porridge. Dip in my secret sauce, it's amazing. Moreover, this The porridge can become more fresh after being rinsed, and it tastes much better than this tasteless white porridge!"

When the few people heard it, they didn't care about so many cats and dogs.It was quickly conquered.

"Guan An didn't tell me earlier, I would have cut it thinner." One of them said.

"Next time, definitely next time."

"It's a pity that there are not many pieces of this meat."

"Hey, next time my old Zhang cuts the meat thinner, wouldn't it be more?"

Zhang Yuchu's words made everyone laugh.

"Cough." A sudden cough came out, making the laughter in the dining room stagnate.

"My servant has seen the empress." An Lu was the first to react, and found Xia Shuang and the empress who did not know when they appeared.

"The servant has seen the empress." The four people behind him immediately stood up and saluted.

"Get up, I just heard you laughing happily, but what's the fun?"

Her words, which were clearly not half blamed, made the five people below trembling who were waiting to reply.As the leader, An Lu could only bite the bullet and say:

"Returning to your mother, this servant found some leftover ingredients from yesterday. I dare not use them as good ones for you to eat, and then my servant used them to make a home-cooked meal. For a while, I ate happily and made a lot of noise. Some, please forgive me, Empress Empress."

Bu Qinyan glanced at the obviously unprocessed ingredients on the plate, and was puzzled.

"I see that the ingredients are all raw, but I don't know which food does not need to be cooked?"

"The empress doesn't know, but before eating, the servants will put the thin slices into the porridge and cook them before eating." An Lu hurriedly said.

"Oh? I'm quite ignorant, but I've never heard of such a way of eating. If I remember correctly, you, An Lu, are from the vicinity of the capital."

When An Lu heard it, he broke out in a cold sweat, swallowed unconsciously and said:

"Return, report back to the empress, this, this is the servant's mother who gave the slave to the servant. As for where the mother learned it, the servant does not know."

"I see." Buqinyan's words were meaningful.

Just when An Lu was feeling uneasy, the queen didn't pursue it any further, it seemed that she believed what she said.

"Your food is novel. Coincidentally, I haven't had breakfast today. I wonder if I can try something new?"

"Your Majesty, don't do it. These ingredients are left over from last night. They may hurt your body." Xia Shuang advised.

An Lu and the others were as quiet as chickens.

"Don't they also eat well?" Bu Qinyan was a little stubborn.

"How can the empress's phoenix body be compared with those of those servants?" Xia Shuang said.

"Just one slice, it's fine."

"An Lu, make a piece for this palace." As she spoke, Bu Qinyan ordered forcefully.

"Yes." Under Xia Shuang's murderous gaze, An Lu obeyed the order as a matter of course.

She first took out a new pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then put the last piece of meat that survived the crowd into the porridge that was still boiling, and then used garlic, coriander, soy sauce and green onion Adjust a dish of sauce and put the meat in it.

Suddenly, her hands froze.

Seeing her suddenly not moving, Bu Qinyan asked in a puzzled tone, "An Lu?"

An Lu was in a dilemma, she didn't know if the queen liked the controversial taste of coriander and garlic!

"An Lu!" Bu Qinyan urged again, could it be that this person can't even part with a piece of meat, could it be that the food in my Fengqi Palace is so bad?

An Lu didn't know that her actions had caused the Queen to fall into self-doubt, but now she had no time to care about him.Carefully presented the piece of meat, and then handed the chopsticks to Bu Qinyan.

Bu Qinyan took the chopsticks, picked up the sliced ​​meat and put it in her mouth.However, for a person like her who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, this meat is nothing unusual, but this way of eating... suddenly her eyes lit up.

An Lu stared closely at the queen's expression when she picked up the chopsticks, and found that she was chewing lightly at first, and suddenly, a light flashed in her eyes.An Lu was not narcissistic about thinking that a mediocre piece of meat could capture the queen's heart.Anyway, she is not against parsley and garlic, she is thankful.But she didn't think about it, how could the condiments that the queen didn't like appear in the meal exclusively for the queen.

"Not bad." Bu Qinyan left a simple comment as if thinking of something,
