Chapter 148: Scholar Cook

Ji Lingxue wore a simple plain skirt with no powder on her face, and the look between her eyebrows and eyes was very similar to her mother Liu Mei'e, who had been dead for many years.
Ji Baichuan lost his senses for a moment, and for a moment he coughed: "Xue'er, this is what's wrong with you. Why do you take your sister out to go shopping and just buy things by yourself?"
Is this to blame Ji Lingxue for being selfish and stingy? Really think he is in Ji Mansion, showing the majesty of the head of a family?
Ji Lingxue smiled and said, "Daddy's lesson is, but this is the Chen Palace. I am the princess. Daddy, you are wrong to say that. Naturally there will be people in the house. My concubine is not going to buy cloth for private use. During the Chinese New Year, this cloth was originally distributed to each room to make new clothes. My sister wanted to take it directly. This concubine is not so stingy. As for sue me in front of the prince and father?"
Ji Baichuan was speechless for a while to refute, and turned to sue Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen waved his hand, "Father-in-law, you have misunderstood Xue'er. Since Xue'er took care of Zhongkui in the mansion, she has been diligent and selfless. You and Qing'er have not seen each other for a long time. Qing'er will take her father-in-law around and eat together later. dinner."
Ji Yuqing glanced at Ji Lingxue unwillingly, and answered "Yes."
After Ji Yuqing and Ji Baichuan were gone, Evian also left and returned to the hospital, leaving Xiao Yichen and Ji Lingxue in the hall.
After retiring, Xiao Yichen said: "Why did you take them out shopping today? Evian is considered a guest in the mansion, you don't have to be wary of her."
Ji Lingxue twitched her mouth, "She is a marriage gifted by the emperor, so she can open up branches and leaves for the Chen Palace as soon as possible."
Xiao Yichen coughed, "This king is not suitable for having children now." He is almost thirty. Xiao Yimo's children are five or six years old, but he has no heirs. It is not that he does not want to but cannot. Before he had the ability to protect the person he wanted to protect, he would not allow Ji Lingxue to become pregnant.
Ji Lingxue didn't understand Xiao Yichen's thoughts, and he thought that Xiao Yichen had problems with her sexual orientation and didn't want children.
Ji Lingxue changed the subject and asked, "Why did my father come to the mansion?"
Xiao Yichen said: "Some time ago, you kept leaving messages, and Ji Mansion was also affected. Now that this matter has finally passed, he is worried that you and Qing'er will visit the mansion and have a look."
Ji Lingxue pouted to see that Ji Yuqing was the real one, she was the one his father didn't want to see.
Xiao Yichen said again: "Your father asked me to arrange a position for your brother Ji Mingyang. Now that the culinary competition is about to come, I will let him follow me behind me."
Ji Lingxue tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yichen, "Just give him a judge to do it." When it comes to the culinary art competition, Ji Lingxue remembered the cleanliness scholar he met in Wangshanlou this time, with his tricky mouth, when would he be a judge.
Ji Yuqing took Ji Baichuan around in the palace. The father and daughter said a long time. It was all Ji Baichuan who was mentioning Ji Yuqing.
Last time he asked Ji Yuqing to ask Ji Mingyang for a position in the court. But months passed, but there was no news from Ji Yuqing. As a last resort, his old man went to the palace in person.
From this look, I can see some clues. Ji Yuqing used to tell him how Xiao Yichen treated her well, and I don't know if it was fake. In his opinion now, Xiao Yimo cares more about Ji Lingxue.
Ji Baichuan said: "Qing'er, my father knows that you have always wanted to fight with your sister from being cautious and arrogant. Now you have to get what you want to marry Wang Chen. In the future, you two sisters will get along well and add a piece to Wang Chen. Son and half daughter, the future will be much easier."
But Ji Yuqing didn't worry about Ji Baichuan's words at all. She just wanted to grab everything about Ji Lingxue, but Ji Lingxue was like an undead cockroach everywhere.
Seeing Ji Yuqing bowed his head and said nothing, Ji Baichuan changed the subject after a few words.
After dinner, Ji Baichuan said goodbye and left, and Ji Lingxue and Ji Yuqing sent him out together.
Ji Baichuan turned his head to look at Ji Lingxue, and felt that Liu Mei'e was alive again, and sighed in his heart.
Ji Baichuan said: "Xue'er, you and Qing'er will go back, it's cold at night."
Ji Lingxue nodded, but still stubbornly watched Ji Baichuan disappear.
As soon as Baichuan's figure disappeared, Ji Lingxue turned back to the house, and the skirt drew a beautiful arc on the ground. Ji Yuqing's eyes flashed, and she raised her foot to step on it, but it was a pity that she stepped on it when she was too late.
Ji Yuqing gritted her teeth unwillingly, hurriedly followed behind Ji Lingxue, and smiled, "Sister, it will be a culinary competition in a while, alas, it's a pity, you can't participate in such a competition with your current status, otherwise My sister's ability will definitely win the prize. I heard that the prize of the cooking competition is not small, it seems to be a thousand liang of gold, and can be nominated by the emperor to be a master chef."
Lingxue, the winner of this culinary art competition, had heard Xiao Yimo say a long time ago, and it was nothing strange to hear again.
Seeing Ji Lingxue ignored him, Ji Yuqing continued: "My sister has decided on new clothes for the New Year. What about the new year's headwear? When will the owner of Liulifang come to our mansion and choose a few beautiful sets of heads."
Liulifang, this is the latest store opened in Beijing. I heard that the jewelry inside was shining with colorful lights, and it was snatched by girls in the capital. It became popular when there were more people like it. Helplessly, Ji Yuqing's moon silver is too little to buy rouge gouache, so she can only do ideological work for Ji Lingxue, who will let her take care of the affairs of the inner courtyard of the palace.
Ji Lingxue said: "Sister, you don't know Chai Migui if you're not in charge, so you can take care of the expenses of the inner courtyard. Anyway, Xiao Yichen didn't say that you can't leave it to others.
Hearing this, Ji Yuqing's eyes brightened, and she nodded vigorously, "Okay, don't worry, sister, sister, I will manage the inner courtyard accounts clearly."
Ji Lingxue nodded and asked Mo Xiang beside him to hand over the inner courtyard accounts and monthly benefits to Ji Yuqing.
Ji Yuqing holding the accounts is like holding a baby, leaving happily.
Mo Xiang complained: "Wang Hao, you are really big-hearted. You dare to hand over this account to Qing's concubine. Are you afraid that she will steal it?"
Ji Lingxue disagreed, "Just let her manage it, and I am also relaxed and easy to handle my own affairs. When the prince asks, I will explain to him that after Mo Xiang, you are also embarrassed. Go and rest. "
Mo Xiang pouted, and asked An to retire. Not long after, Lianxin walked into the room with toiletries in his hands and waited for Ji Lingxue to freshen up.
Xiao Yichen walked into the house and dismissed Lianxin, and said to Ji Lingxue: "Xue'er, you Qingfeng Yashe also signed up for the competition, the cook has injured her hand, who do you want to compete?"
Ji Lingxue raised her eyebrows, "Keep it confidential, why do you still want to inquire about news from me? There is no father and son on the battlefield, and no husband and wife on the court."
Xiao Yichen smoked recently and was so happy by Ji Lingxue. He opened his arms and said to Ji Lingxue: "Princess, let me undress for this king."
Ji Lingxue said: "Do you have two beautiful concubines, don't you go to the rain and dew?"
The corner of Xiao Yichen's mouth twitched, and Ji Lingxue suddenly hugged Ji Lingxue sideways and turned around: "No matter how beautiful a concubine, no concubine looks delicious."
Ji Lingxue patted Xiao Yichen on the chest and said, "Let me down."
Xiao Yichen smirked, turned around and carried Ji Lingxue to bed and put down the bed curtain. Ji Lingxue hurriedly pushed Xiao Yichen, "Master, I can't wait for bedtime today, I...I'm here in Kuishui..."
Xiao Yichen hugged Ji Lingxue and kissed her on the forehead, "This king likes to sleep with you, don't worry, this king won't touch you."
Ji Lingxue: "..."
Ji Lingxue, who couldn't find any excuses, had to let Xiao Yichen hold him. Recently, Xiao Yichen slept with her. Ji Lingxue found various reasons to drive him away without success.
Ji Lingxue opened her eyes and looked at the bed curtain, her thoughts drifted a little.
Xiao Yichen opened his eyes and took a look at Ji Lingxue. He raised his hand to put out the candle, and the room fell into darkness instantly.
Xiao Yichen said: "Ji Lingxue, rest early and enter the palace with me tomorrow."
Ji Lingxue asked: "Why are you in the palace?"
Xiao Yichen said: "Xiao Yimo asked me to take you into the palace. It's been a while since you came back. It's time to enter the palace to please the Queen Mother."
Ji Lingxue gave a hum, closed her eyes and forced herself to go to bed earlier.
The next day, Lian Xin and Mo Xiang took the princess' formal dress and waited at the door. As soon as Xiao Yichen opened the door, the two walked in quickly to wait for Ji Lingxue to freshen up.
After washing, Xiao Yichen leaned on a chair and waited for Ji Lingxue to freshen up. This is, the guard knelt at the door and said, "Master, someone outside the house is asking for a meeting."
Xiao Yichen stood up and asked, "Who?"
The guard hesitated for a long time and said: "I'm a scholar, so I'm applying for a cook..." He was also puzzled. How weird the scholar would be when applying for a cook.
Ji Lingxue raised her eyebrows, it was a rare occurrence. She met an interesting and clean scholar yesterday.
Xiao Yichen stood up and said, "Go, go and see." After speaking, he flung his sleeves and walked out.
Ji Lingxue looked at herself in the glasses and said to Mo Xiang: "Mo Xiang, don't put anything on my head, it's so heavy."
Mo Xiang said with a black thread: "Wang Hao, you can enter the palace face, this dress is more solemn."
Ji Lingxue rolled her eyes and had to be patient, "Okay, don't insert hairpins, let's change clothes for my concubine, the prince is still waiting."
Lian Xin carefully put on the princess's formal suit for Ji Lingxue and fastened her belt. Ji Lingxue turned around and walked out. Mo Xiang hurriedly followed. Master, don't go in such a hurry. "
Ji Lingxue just wanted to go to the lobby to see how the book for Wangfu's chef had grown.
In the hall, Xiao Yichen looked at the scholar in Qingshan in front of him and asked, "You know how to cook?" These sour children are not just one bite, are they talking about the big man?
The scholar in Qingshan nodded vigorously, arched his hands, and smiled implicitly: "It's true that the little student was stolen when he first came to Beijing. Come and try."
Xiao Yichen nodded, "Then you can go to the dining room and cook some specialty dishes for this king to taste."
The scholar in Qingshan nodded and went down to the dining room under the leadership of the royal guards. Just after leaving here, Ji Lingxue stepped into the hall. He didn't see any scholars on his left or right. It was assumed that Xiao Yichen sent him away. He said: "I'm fine, let's go. ."
