V2.Chapter 53
Yu Wan's eyes turned cold, she reached out her hand and grabbed her wrist.
Concubine Xu Xian did not expect that this bitch would dare to stop her and desecrated her imperial concubine body with dirty hands!
Concubine Xu Xian instinctively wanted to pull Hao wrist out of Yu Wan's hand, but she was kept in the palace all year round, how could it be like Yu Wan worked all the year round and was too strong to use it? Concubine Xu Xian only felt that her wrist was clamped by a cold iron pincer, and she couldn't move at all!
She shouted loudly: "Presumptuous!"
"Miss Yu, let go of the empress." The maid in charge also came over.
Yu Wan looked at the maid in charge: "I didn't report my family, you know my surname?"
The window paper was pierced long ago, so saying that was just hitting the master and servant in the face, but the maid in charge was not as angry as Concubine Xu Xian, and only sighed in a low voice: "Miss Yu, let go of the maiden first. Say it again."
Yu Wan looked at Concubine Xu Xian: "Then she has to promise not to hit me."
Concubine Xu Xian said coldly: "This palace is the imperial concubine, so what happened to you? You dare to be so disrespectful to this palace, this is a capital crime!"
Yu Wan said lightly, "Then I have no choice but to take the empress and be buried with me."
Concubine Xu Xian's pupils shrank!
What does this girl say? Take her to the funeral? I'm afraid she's not crazy, and she can even say such outrageous words!
The mother in charge also gave Yu Wan a surprised look, as if she didn't expect Yu Wan to threaten Concubine Xu Xian in turn, is she really not afraid of power?
Of course not, in Yu Wan's heart, she still has a sense of reverence for the superior, but that is under the premise that she can survive, she has never regarded her own backbone as more important than her life, kowtow, bowed her head, It has nothing to do with life or death, and it is not a big deal. However, there is a kind of person in the world. Even if you bow your knees and fall into the dust, she will still trample you fiercely, wishing she could trample you to death.
Zuo is only dead, why should he die in humiliation?
"This palace punishes your nine clans!" Concubine Xu Xian was furious.
"If Niang Niang dies, how will you be punished?"
"you……"
At that point, Yu Wan believed that Yan Jiuchao would protect her family no matter what, but at the moment, Yu Wan didn't think that Concubine Xu Xian would really die with her.
The mother in charge said earnestly: "Miss Yu, if you have something to say, this is the palace after all. It is disrespectful for Miss Yu to offend the imperial concubine with her civilian body. If it is spread out, it is indeed enough to punish Miss Yu for the death penalty."
Yu Wan looked at Concubine Xu Xian for a moment and said, "Did that mother-in-law promise not to hit me?"
Concubine Xu Xian snorted coldly.
Yu Wan let go of Concubine Xu Xian lightly.
In the next second, Concubine Xu Xian swiped at Yu Wan with her other hand, and the speed was astonishing.
Yu Wan easily avoided it.
Concubine Xu Xian fluttered in the air, staggered a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.
After stabilizing her figure, Concubine Xu Xian glared at Yu Wan angrily: "Someone! Take her down for me!"
The eunuchs outside the hall rushed in and surrounded Yu Wan.
Yu Wan's eyes narrowed and said, "Niangniang, if you kill me, aren't you afraid that the Young Master's Mansion will trouble you?"
"Young Master's Mansion?" Concubine Xu Xian squinted suspiciously, "What's your relationship with the Young Master's Mansion?"
Unspeakable relationship, it is true that this is not good with Concubine Xu Xian, Yu Wan said lightly: "I am the savior of the three young masters of the young master's mansion, could it be that the empress missed such an important thing when she inquired about me. One? It seems that Niangniang's spies are not very good..."
The man in black behind the screen lowered his head. Concubine Xu Xian was anxious to report. He really had a lot of things he hadn't heard of.
Concubine Xu Xian stared at Yu Wan, trying to see the flaw in her face, but she was disappointed.
The maid in charge whispered: "Niangniang, the young master of the young master's mansion once let the kidnapper abduct him, and was rescued in Lotus Town."
And Yu Wan is from Lianhua Village.
Yu Wan took another powerful medicine: "If the lady doesn't believe it, she can send someone to the Young Master's Mansion to check."
She said so, of course Concubine Xu Xian believed it, but for some unknown reason, Concubine Xu Xian suddenly smiled sarcastically: "You want to borrow Ben Gong's hand to bring the news of your distress to the Young Master's Mansion, and Ben Gong almost got on you. when."
Yu Wan was taken aback, this woman was really rational, she was about to die of anger, but she wasn't confused at all.
Concubine Xu Xian brushed off her sleeves and calmly sat back on the throne: "I'll tell you who you borrowed the courage to fight against Ben Gong? Young Master's Mansion? It's really enough for Ben Gong to give you a little face. "
Yu Wan looked at her: "Is it just enough for some thin noodles, Niangniang?"
Concubine Xu Xian's smile faded: "Don't put your nose on your face, do you really think you're infallible? You probably don't know yet, Yan Jiuchao has already left the city, even if Ben Gong brings you the news to the Young Master's Mansion, No one is here to save you."
Yu Wan squeezed her fingers tightly, that guy actually left the capital at this juncture. Could it be that God wants to kill her?
"But Young Master Yan will always come back..."
"The day lily is cold when you come back." Concubine Xu Xian interrupted Yu Wan arrogantly, "Don't scare Ben Gong, if Yan Jiuchao will ask Ben Gong to settle accounts with the autumn queen, if Ben Gong dares to deal with you, there are a hundred ways not to be afraid. His way of reckoning."
Yes, she committed the crime in her hands. What is the truth? Isn't that a word from Concubine Xu Xian?
When Yan Jiuchao came back, Concubine Xu Xian had already cleaned herself up.
This woman's scheming is really terrifying, much harder to deal with than Yan Ruyu.
Concubine Xu Xian said indifferently: "Someone, take her to the palace!"
"Mrs. Xiao is here—"
Outside the hall, a loud communication sounded.
Concubine Xu Xian's expression turned cold, and before she could speak to stop people, a team of guards rushed in with murderous intent, and then Shangguan Yan walked in slowly.
She was wearing a plain white wide-sleeved fairy dress with a translucent light gold gauze over her, and her whole body was radiant, as bright as the sun.
Liu Gong Fendai, in front of her, instantly lost its color.
With the appearance of Shangguanyan, Concubine Xu Xian, who was originally graceful and luxurious, was instantly turned into a scum.
Concubine Xu Xian's face sank: "Mrs. Xiao, you brought a group of men into the palace's bedroom, do you know that it is a disrespectful death penalty?"
Shangguan Yan smiled and said, "They are all eunuchs from Prince Yan's Mansion. Strictly speaking, they are not men. What? Don't you believe me? Take off your pants!"
The guards did take off their pants.
Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat!
Take off your pants without saying a word, what is this operation? !
Concubine Xu Xian turned her face away in disgust...
The maid in charge stood in front of her and said to Shangguan Yan, "Mrs. Xiao!"
Shangguan Yan waved her hand, and the guards tucked back their half-removed trousers.
Concubine Xu Xian gave the maid in charge a wink, and she stepped aside. Concubine Xu Xian looked at Shangguan Yan in the center of the hall, and asked with a frosty face, "Mrs Xiao, you brought a group of eunuchs into the Xianfu Palace without permission. What's the purpose?"
Shangguan Yan smiled and said: "No special intention, that is, I want to eat Zuixianju's food, but when I went to Zuixianju, I found that their cook was invited away."
It's not enough to lie to a fool.
Concubine Xu Xian's eyes were cold and she said, "So you brought your guards and went to the Xianfu Palace in this palace to rob people?"
Shangguan Yan said roguely, "Where is it? How dare I rob someone from the niangniang? I came to the niangniang's palace to eat."
As she spoke, she gave Yu Wan a cold look, and said in a tone of voice, "What are you still doing here? Do you want to starve the Empress and Mrs. Ben to death? Why don't you hurry up and cook!"
"Yes." Yu Wan bowed in response, turned and walked outside the hall.
"Wait a minute, is this palace letting you go?" Concubine Xu Xian stopped Yu Wan lightly.
Yu Wan happened to walk to Shangguanyan's side. Although she didn't know how Shangguanyan got the news, she knew that Shangguanyan was here to relieve her.
She glanced at Shangguanyan from the corner of her eye, and Shangguanyan raised her hand, her eyes always meeting with Concubine Xu Xian in the seat: "You go first."
Concubine Xu Xian's face turned cold: "Bengong didn't promise to let her go!"
Shangguanyan's smile faded: "Concubine Xian."
The masters of both sides showed fierce light, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.
Concubine Xu Xian said disdainfully: "Shangguanyan, do you really think that you are still the Princess Yan of the past? From the day you remarried, you are no longer a member of the royal family. This palace advises you not to toast, not to eat and to punish you. The matter of breaking into the Xianfu Palace, Ben Gong may not be held accountable, but you cannot take this woman away!"
Shangguan Yan grabbed Yu Wan's hand: "What if I have to take her away?"
Concubine Xu Xian's lips twitched: "Then this palace will have to catch you together."
As soon as she finished speaking, another voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty is here—"
Concubine Xu Xian's brows twitched, why is Your Majesty here at this hour?
She looked at Shangguan Yan, who was on the side. Shangguan Yan gave her a smug smile. She gritted her teeth secretly. It was Shangguan Yan who invited the emperor! It's a pity that this woman didn't marry into the harem!
Concubine Xu Xian and Shangguanyan went to the main hall to greet the emperor in person, while Yu Wan was left in the side hall. Shangguanyan's guards surrounded her, and they stared at the masters of Xianfu Palace.
"My concubine meets Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe." Concubine Xu Xian put on a gentle smile and gave a gentle blessing.
Shangguan Yan also stepped forward and gave a salute: "The minister's wife knocks on your majesty."
There was a hint of surprise in the emperor's eyes: "Mrs. Xiao is here too?"
Concubine Xu Xian opened her mouth and was about to sue her, but Shangguan Yan took the lead and said, "Yes, yes, it's the empress who invited me here!"
Concubine Xu Xian was stunned, when did I invite you here?
Just as he was about to defend himself, the emperor spoke again: "You are calling me again, and Mrs. Xiao again. Are there any surprises?"
"Of course there is! The niangniang has hired a great cook from the people and wants to cook a delicious meal for His Majesty!" Shangguan Yan's mouth was so fast that Concubine Xu Xian couldn't even interrupt.
"So it is." The emperor looked at Concubine Xu Xian, his eyes softened, "Since I recovered from my illness, my appetite has not been good, and Concubine Ai has a heart."
Now that the cook was not hired for the emperor, it was impossible, and Concubine Xu Xian had to secretly eat this dumb loss.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here, you can let the cook prepare dinner." Shangguan Yan finished talking to Concubine Xu Xian with a smile, without giving Concubine Xu Xian a chance to speak, she hurriedly said to the emperor, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything, Empress invited Concubine Xu Xian. It’s the chef of Zuixianju, the restaurant that won Tianxianglou in the God of Cooking Competition, and there’s a female chef in her family, and her cooking skills are so good, they say she’s the second Lady Du!”
"Really?" The emperor had also heard of Lady Du, but had no chance to taste her craftsmanship. "Hurry up and serve, I am hungry."
...
But he said that Qin Ye was blocked by Wu Eunuch in the small kitchen, and he couldn't let out even a fly. Qin Ye was so anxious that he almost had the idea of dizzying Wu Gong Gong with a rolling pin. Fortunately, Yu Wan appeared in time.
"Miss Yu?" Eunuch Wu was stunned.
Yu Wan said with a calm expression, "Your Majesty asked me to cook, may I come in?"
Eunuch Wu was dumbfounded: "Yes, of course."
Yu Wan entered the small kitchen.
Master Qin pulled her into the corner and looked at her up and down.
"I'm not injured." It's just that the knee has been kneeling for a long time, and it hurts a little.
Master Qin breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What happened? What did Concubine Xian tell you? Why did you detain you for so long?"
Yu Wan said, "It's a long story."
Master Qin thought for a while: "Did she misunderstand your relationship with the Second Highness and embarrass you?"
"Yeah." Yu Wan nodded.
"I blame me for this!" Master Qin patted his head.
Yu Wan said calmly: "Concubine Xu Xian's summons, you can't stop it, and I don't blame you."
Having said that, Master Qin still blamed himself very much. Fortunately, Yu Wan was fine, but if it happened, he would have an uneasy conscience for the rest of his life.
Thinking of something, Master Qin said, "By the way, you just said that your Majesty has come down. What's the matter?"
Yu Wan walked to the stove and opened the jar of stinky tofu: "I'll go back and tell you slowly, let's cook first, don't let Your Majesty wait."
...
In the main hall, the emperor sat down with Concubine Xu Xian and Shangguan Yan.
Concubine Xu Xian suffered a dumb loss and felt unwilling, so naturally she would not let Shangguanyan let go of her in vain. She looked at the emperor in the seat and smiled softly: "Since Your Majesty wants to taste the craftsmanship of that 'Little Lady Du', It's better to let her cook all the dishes today."
These are all trivial matters. What the emperor really cared about was Concubine Xu Xian's thoughts, and he agreed immediately.
Concubine Xu Xian lowered her eyes and dipped the floating tea leaves with the lid of the cup. A country girl, she couldn't believe how good her cooking skills were! At that time, His Majesty will be unhappy, and if you deal with her in an open and fair manner, you will save your hands from getting dirty.
As soon as Master Qin heard that it was Chef Yu Wan, his legs suddenly softened. Miss Yu is good at making stinky tofu, but other dishes...it's a disaster...what if you vomited the emperor? Will they cut off their heads in a fit of rage?
"I, I, I... I think, let's make a stinky tofu feast, fried stinky tofu, fried stinky tofu, steamed stinky tofu..."
Qin Ye counted halfway with his fingers, and Yu Wan went out with the vegetable basket.
Master Qin's expression changed: "you, what are you doing?"
Yu Wan said, "Pick vegetables."
How dare you pick it up!
About half an hour later, the first dish was served. It was stinky tofu with three kinds of fillings. The first was fermented bean curd sauce, the second was diced radish marinated by Uncle, and the third was It is Yu Wan's pickled sour bamboo shoots.
The three strong odors were mixed together, and it was like entering a stinky palace. The instant the plate was brought into the house, the emperor almost vomited!
Concubine Xu Xian covered her nose in disgust: "What is this?"
Only Shangguan Yan's saliva was drooling. She wanted to eat it back in Wei Mansion, but the little maid was so terribly guarded that she left her in the mansion very wisely today!
Shangguan Yan didn't say a word, and stuffed a piece of stinky tofu into her mouth. It was stuffed with sour bamboo shoots. Cold and stinky, coupled with the smell of stinky tofu itself, when you bite down, your nostrils are stinking!
After eating clean, Shangguan Yan remembered that the emperor hadn't moved his chopsticks, and said without changing his face, "Your Majesty, there is no poison!"
The little eunuch who tried the dishes: Obviously you couldn't help yourself...
Stinky tofu tastes really good, but unfortunately, the emperor doesn't like it.
It's right if she doesn't like it. Although she likes it very much, Concubine Xu Xian reluctantly put down her chopsticks. Naturally, it is more important to deal with that girl than her appetite.
"Wonderful fame!" The emperor put down his chopsticks lightly.
Yu Wan's rarest dishes were stinky tofu and sour bamboo shoots. Neither of these impressed the emperor, and it was even more impossible in the future. When the next few dishes were presented, the emperor was no longer interested in tasting them.
The little eunuch who tried the dish took a bite and covered his chest.
Concubine Xu Xian was overjoyed to see him retching like this, and hurriedly took a chopstick and put it into the emperor's bowl: "Your Majesty, try it."
This is a piece of pastry made from unknown ingredients, with a rough texture and an unpleasant earthy smell.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Xu Xian looked at the emperor expectantly.
The emperor couldn't bear to brush her face, so he took a bite, and then, his stomach tumbling for a while!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Wang hurriedly brought the spittoon over!
Shangguan Yan also took a sip, oh my god, I'm going to be beheaded!
Concubine Xu Xian was overjoyed.
The emperor finally did not spit it out, he held back.
The emperor waved his hand and asked Eunuch Wang to step aside.
The next second, something incredible happened.
The emperor actually picked up his chopsticks and ate the cake that almost vomited himself, bit by bit.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Concubine Xu Xian didn't understand what was going on.
"This is elm money." The emperor choked and said, "When I was in the Leng Palace, I was often hungry. There was an elm money tree in the Leng Palace. My mother picked the leaves of the elm money and made the elm money cake for me and my sixth brother to eat."
But the queen mother's cooking skills are not very good. The queen mother is a lady and a daughter of gold. How can she understand cooking skills? The things that are made are always unpalatable to death.
The emperor burst into tears: "The Queen Mother's elm money cake...that's what it tastes like."
Concubine Xu Xian did not expect that this bitch would dare to stop her and desecrated her imperial concubine body with dirty hands!
Concubine Xu Xian instinctively wanted to pull Hao wrist out of Yu Wan's hand, but she was kept in the palace all year round, how could it be like Yu Wan worked all the year round and was too strong to use it? Concubine Xu Xian only felt that her wrist was clamped by a cold iron pincer, and she couldn't move at all!
She shouted loudly: "Presumptuous!"
"Miss Yu, let go of the empress." The maid in charge also came over.
Yu Wan looked at the maid in charge: "I didn't report my family, you know my surname?"
The window paper was pierced long ago, so saying that was just hitting the master and servant in the face, but the maid in charge was not as angry as Concubine Xu Xian, and only sighed in a low voice: "Miss Yu, let go of the maiden first. Say it again."
Yu Wan looked at Concubine Xu Xian: "Then she has to promise not to hit me."
Concubine Xu Xian said coldly: "This palace is the imperial concubine, so what happened to you? You dare to be so disrespectful to this palace, this is a capital crime!"
Yu Wan said lightly, "Then I have no choice but to take the empress and be buried with me."
Concubine Xu Xian's pupils shrank!
What does this girl say? Take her to the funeral? I'm afraid she's not crazy, and she can even say such outrageous words!
The mother in charge also gave Yu Wan a surprised look, as if she didn't expect Yu Wan to threaten Concubine Xu Xian in turn, is she really not afraid of power?
Of course not, in Yu Wan's heart, she still has a sense of reverence for the superior, but that is under the premise that she can survive, she has never regarded her own backbone as more important than her life, kowtow, bowed her head, It has nothing to do with life or death, and it is not a big deal.

Zuo is only dead, why should he die in humiliation?
"This palace punishes your nine clans!" Concubine Xu Xian was furious.
"If Niang Niang dies, how will you be punished?"
"you……"
At that point, Yu Wan believed that Yan Jiuchao would protect her family no matter what, but at the moment, Yu Wan didn't think that Concubine Xu Xian would really die with her.
The mother in charge said earnestly: "Miss Yu, if you have something to say, this is the palace after all. It is disrespectful for Miss Yu to offend the imperial concubine with her civilian body. If it is spread out, it is indeed enough to punish Miss Yu for the death penalty."

There was a hint of surprise in the emperor's eyes: "Mrs. Xiao is here too?"
Concubine Xu Xian opened her mouth and was about to sue her, but Shangguan Yan took the lead and said, "Yes, yes, it's the empress who invited me here!"
Concubine Xu Xian was stunned, when did I invite you here?
Just as he was about to defend himself, the emperor spoke again: "You are calling me again, and Mrs. Xiao again. Are there any surprises?"
"Of course there is! The niangniang has hired a great cook from the people and wants to cook a delicious meal for His Majesty!" Shangguan Yan's mouth was so fast that Concubine Xu Xian couldn't even interrupt.

Now that the cook was not hired for the emperor, it was impossible, and Concubine Xu Xian had to secretly eat this dumb loss.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here, you can let the cook prepare dinner." Shangguan Yan finished talking to Concubine Xu Xian with a smile, without giving Concubine Xu Xian a chance to speak, she hurriedly said to the emperor, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything, Empress invited Concubine Xu Xian. It’s the chef of Zuixianju, the restaurant that won Tianxianglou in the God of Cooking Competition, and there’s a female chef in her family, and her cooking skills are so good, they say she’s the second Lady Du!”
"Really?" The emperor had also heard of Lady Du, but had no chance to taste her craftsmanship. "Hurry up and serve, I am hungry."
...
But he said that Qin Ye was blocked by Wu Eunuch in the small kitchen, and he couldn't let out even a fly. Qin Ye was so anxious that he almost had the idea of dizzying Wu Gong Gong with a rolling pin. Fortunately, Yu Wan appeared in time.
"Miss Yu?" Eunuch Wu was stunned.
Yu Wan said with a calm expression, "Your Majesty asked me to cook, may I come in?"
Eunuch Wu was dumbfounded: "Yes, of course."
Yu Wan entered the small kitchen.
Master Qin pulled her into the corner and looked at her up and down.
"I'm not injured." It's just that the knee has been kneeling for a long time, and it hurts a little.
Master Qin breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What happened? What did Concubine Xian tell you? Why did you detain you for so long?"

Having said that, Master Qin still blamed himself very much. Fortunately, Yu Wan was fine, but if it happened, he would have an uneasy conscience for the rest of his life.
Thinking of something, Master Qin said, "By the way, you just said that your Majesty has come down. What's the matter?"
Yu Wan walked to the stove and opened the jar of stinky tofu: "I'll go back and tell you slowly, let's cook first, don't let Your Majesty wait."
...
In the main hall, the emperor sat down with Concubine Xu Xian and Shangguan Yan.
Concubine Xu Xian suffered a dumb loss and felt unwilling, so naturally she would not let Shangguanyan let go of her in vain. She looked at the emperor in the seat and smiled softly: "Since Your Majesty wants to taste the craftsmanship of that 'Little Lady Du', It's better to let her cook all the dishes today."
These are all trivial matters. What the emperor really cared about was Concubine Xu Xian's thoughts, and he agreed immediately.
Concubine Xu Xian lowered her eyes and dipped the floating tea leaves with the lid of the cup. A country girl, she couldn't believe how good her cooking skills were! At that time, His Majesty will be unhappy, and if you deal with her in an open and fair manner, you will save your hands from getting dirty.
As soon as Master Qin heard that it was Chef Yu Wan, his legs suddenly softened. Miss Yu is good at making stinky tofu, but other dishes...it's a disaster...what if you vomited the emperor? Will they cut off their heads in a fit of rage?
"I, I, I... I think, let's make a stinky tofu feast, fried stinky tofu, fried stinky tofu, steamed stinky tofu..."
Qin Ye counted halfway with his fingers, and Yu Wan went out with the vegetable basket.
Master Qin's expression changed: "you, what are you doing?"
Yu Wan said, "Pick vegetables."
How dare you pick it up!
About half an hour later, the first dish was served. It was stinky tofu with three kinds of fillings. The first was fermented bean curd sauce, the second was diced radish marinated by Uncle, and the third was It is Yu Wan's pickled sour bamboo shoots.
The three strong odors were mixed together, and it was like entering a stinky palace. The instant the plate was brought into the house, the emperor almost vomited!
Concubine Xu Xian covered her nose in disgust: "What is this?"
Only Shangguan Yan's saliva was drooling. She wanted to eat it back in Wei Mansion, but the little maid was so terribly guarded that she left her in the mansion very wisely today!
Shangguan Yan didn't say a word, and stuffed a piece of stinky tofu into her mouth. It was stuffed with sour bamboo shoots. Cold and stinky, coupled with the smell of stinky tofu itself, when you bite down, your nostrils are stinking!
After eating clean, Shangguan Yan remembered that the emperor hadn't moved his chopsticks, and said without changing his face, "Your Majesty, there is no poison!"
The little eunuch who tried the dishes: Obviously you couldn't help yourself...
Stinky tofu tastes really good, but unfortunately, the emperor doesn't like it.
It's right if she doesn't like it. Although she likes it very much, Concubine Xu Xian reluctantly put down her chopsticks. Naturally, it is more important to deal with that girl than her appetite.
"Wonderful fame!" The emperor put down his chopsticks lightly.
Yu Wan's rarest dishes were stinky tofu and sour bamboo shoots. Neither of these impressed the emperor, and it was even more impossible in the future. When the next few dishes were presented, the emperor was no longer interested in tasting them.
The little eunuch who tried the dish took a bite and covered his chest.
Concubine Xu Xian was overjoyed to see him retching like this, and hurriedly took a chopstick and put it into the emperor's bowl: "Your Majesty, try it."
This is a piece of pastry made from unknown ingredients, with a rough texture and an unpleasant earthy smell.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Xu Xian looked at the emperor expectantly.
The emperor couldn't bear to brush her face, so he took a bite, and then, his stomach tumbling for a while!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Wang hurriedly brought the spittoon over!
Shangguan Yan also took a sip, oh my god, I'm going to be beheaded!
Concubine Xu Xian was overjoyed.
The emperor finally did not spit it out, he held back.
The emperor waved his hand and asked Eunuch Wang to step aside.
The next second, something incredible happened.
The emperor actually picked up his chopsticks and ate the cake that almost vomited himself, bit by bit.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Concubine Xu Xian didn't understand what was going on.
"This is elm money." The emperor choked and said, "When I was in the Leng Palace, I was often hungry. There was an elm money tree in the Leng Palace. My mother picked the leaves of the elm money and made the elm money cake for me and my sixth brother to eat."
But the queen mother's cooking skills are not very good. The queen mother is a lady and a daughter of gold. How can she understand cooking skills? The things that are made are always unpalatable to death.
The emperor burst into tears: "The Queen Mother's elm money cake...that's what it tastes like."
