Chapter 197: Alternative help

The wind is sunny and the weather is excellent.
Under the centuries-old sycamore tree in the yard, there was a pinewood case table, and a jar was placed on the case table, and a piece of incense had been burnt in the jar.
At this time, the incense has been ignited for more than half.
Yun Xiao brought Chunlan to prepare the dishes she wanted to make today.
Chunlan looked at Yun Xiao with some worry, and glanced at the dish in her palm, "Girl, do you think those princes and princesses will come?"
Yun Xiao smiled, knowing that Chunlan was still a little worried, "I will come, don't worry."
As far as the Ninth Prince's temperament is concerned, she is quite stable.
If something suits his appetite, he will try it even if it is difficult to obtain.
Not to mention that this is just the imperial dining room, it is still in the palace, and it only takes a few steps to get there.
Yun Xiao didn't seem to worry at all, and he made Chunlan's expression settled. Since the girl said that there is no problem, then there must be no problem.
Chunlan looked at the time, it was almost ready, and she smiled and said, "Girl, have we started cooking it now?" The other dishes that the royal chef will prepare today are almost ready, but her girl still has nothing. move.
A father-in-law walked in from the outside and glanced at Yun Xiao before he started cooking. He sneered at the corner of his mouth. He smiled and walked to Lu Yuchu's side and said with a smile, "Master, the incense outside is almost half ordered. , And that little girl hasn't cooked yet, today you are determined to win."
Lu Yuchu was only devoted to cooking. Hearing what his father-in-law said, he glanced sideways at Yun Xiao. Sure enough, he saw Yun Xiao and Chunlan chatting, and he hadn't lighted the stove yet.
There was a slight disdain at the corner of his mouth, "The Haikou praised yesterday sounds nice, but today it is faint, but it is a teenage baby, what can we expect from her?" He thought that as long as the day after tomorrow passed, he could After getting the two thousand taels of banknotes, I couldn't stop laughing, "When the banknotes are available, I will reward you a few."
The father-in-law was delighted when he heard that, "Tui'er thanked the master." After speaking, he worked harder and helped with things.
Lu Yuchu looked in Yun Xiao's direction again, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became even more sarcasm.
In the past, he was unwilling to accept apprentices because he was afraid that those apprentices would betray him when they learned something. As the saying goes, church apprentices and masters starved to death, so he has been unwilling to accept apprentices.
But this time, Yun Xiao's provocation caused him to make an exception.
The more people there are, the more he can prove his ability to Yun Xiao. He just wants Yun Xiao to see. He is not so easy to bully.
After thinking about this, the smile on the corner of her mouth became stronger.
What Lu Yuchu and father-in-law said did not deliberately lower their voices, so the royal chefs in the imperial dining room could hear them clearly.
Chunlan Nunu's mouth is very disdainful. Her girl's cooking skills are excellent, and she must show them a good look at that time.
She winked at Yun Xiao, the master and servant had been so long, Yun Xiao naturally knew Chunlan's meaning, and said with a smile, "Since everyone has said that this is the case, we can't help it."
Chunlan immediately responded happily, and started to light a fire.
Yun Xiao also started to move very skillfully.
At this time, everyone did not see that a young man in a pale blue robe came over outside the imperial dining room, only embroidered with the dark patterns of begonia flowers on the placket and cuffs of the robe, with a belt wrapped around his waist and covering the outside. Wore a cloak of sable fur.
An ink hair was tied behind his head, and the hair was tied in a bun, with a jade hosta on it.
The soft and waxy face was tightly taut, and the two thick eyebrows were tightly wrinkled into a "chuan" character. Although there was a touch of anger in the ink and jade-like eyes, it was still difficult to conceal the joy and excitement in the depths of the eyes. He is obviously only eight or nine years old, but he is self-contained, deliberately learning the posture of an adult, with a grace that cannot be concealed in every move.
He was only nine years old, and he was able to attract everyone's attention. I don't know how handsome he will be when he grows up.
Zhou Jingxu glared viciously at Lu Yuchu and the father-in-law first, and a slight strangeness flashed in his black jade-like eyes.
If anyone sees it, they will be shocked. A nine-year-old child has killing intent in his eyes.
After that, Zhou Jingxu's expression fell on the busy figure with its head down.
Today's Yun Xiao wears a moon-white jacket with two begonia flowers on the front of the jacket, and a crimson pleated skirt with double butterfly and tan flowers underneath. Cheng, walking around, shining golden, really beautiful.
Because I was too serious, I was in the stove again, and there was a little sweat on my forehead.
Zhou Jingxu's clasped hands suddenly moved lightly. He wanted to step forward and took the veil to wipe off the drops of water on her forehead.
Just when Zhou Jingxu lost his mind, there was a figure beside him, "Nine..."
Father Cai just made a sound and was covered by his own master. However, he still doesn't know what happened.
Father Cai followed Zhou Jingxu's gaze and looked into the imperial dining room, and saw a ray of golden sunlight passing through the carved window made of sandalwood, just falling on a woman's body.
Reflecting a faint golden light, the woman in the moon-white dress came here as if walking on the light, not stained with dust.
The owner of the original family got up in a hurry today and changed all the clothes in the bedroom. Was he here to see the four girls?
Grandpa Cai still remembered that he had taken a honey-colored robe today, but he was disgusted by his own master. He checked the clothes in the closet, and finally chose this one. The clothes come out.
He was still secretly slandering at that time, the master's dress, even if it was more formal than seeing the girl he liked.
He still feels ashamed of his thoughts, how big is the master, how can there be a girl he likes?
However, Father Cai looked at the expression in his master's eyes, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't hide his excitement. He didn't understand.
At this moment, the courtyard of the imperial dining room suddenly became lively, and an imperial chef was constantly walking out of the house, carrying homemade dishes in his hands, and walking towards the long table visited in the middle of the courtyard.
When the dishes were set, the chefs also wrote their names below.
At this time, Zhou Jingxu also saw the scene there and frowned. Seeing that Father Cai had been staring at the woman in the room, there was a slight displeasure between his eyebrows, and he whispered, "Go and find out, today What's the matter with this imperial dining room."
Grandpa Cai also wanted to know. It was just about the Imperial Dining Room. Everyone knew that Grandpa Cai didn't take long to turn around and walked back to talk about today's Imperial Dining Room Cooking Competition.
Zhou Jingxu's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to understand why Yun Xiao let himself come to the imperial dining room.
Moyu-like eyes rolled around, and he commanded, "In my name, go and invite emperor brothers and sisters under ten years old to come to the imperial dining room." With him, those people I dare not come.
He can be regarded as doing her a favor.
However, before Grandpa Cai turned around, he saw a group of luxuriously dressed people walking in the door of the Imperial Dining Room.
These people are male and female, and the father-in-law and court lady who are still serving as their identities are all dressed up in pink and jade, very delicate.
But there is only one thing in common, that is, these people are all under ten years old.
When these people came, they looked around in the imperial dining room. Not long after they saw Zhou Jingxu here, they smiled and walked towards this place.
Zhou Jingxu remembered that the little father-in-law had said that the joss sticks in front were almost lit, but Yun Xiao's dishes were not ready yet.
Frowning his brows, he took Mr. Cai back. If the royal children were allowed to come here, she would really not be able to cook today's food.
He turned and walked over, and the children on the opposite side ran over. One of the tallest boys said, "Big brother, we heard that you came to the imperial dining room, but I didn't expect you to be here."
Zhou Jingxu rolled his eyes and said, "What? I have to tell you where I am going," Taifu didn't even ask about his whereabouts, so today he just played truant.
Looking at the sky, I am afraid that it is already a half-zhuxiang break between two classes.
"Aren't we curious?" The boy is the eighth prince of today. He is a man of good-looking temperament, and he can survive in the dirty palace everywhere.
He didn't want to come, who knew he was urged by other people to come, but they heard that the Ninth Prince had met delicious food at the Imperial Dining Room, and they ran to the Imperial Dining Room early in the morning.
Little children always have an inexplicable interest when it comes to food. This is not true. He really didn't hold back, so he also came to the imperial dining room to see what was delicious.
Zhou Jingxu snorted coldly, "Since you are here, you don't have to go back later. There is a culinary competition here today, so you can be a judge with me."
The other princes looked slightly stiff, they just took a look with curiosity. If they didn't go back, they played truant like the nine princes, without the clever mind of the nine princes, the Taifu would definitely teach them.
Zhou Jingxu saw that the curiosity on everyone’s faces became heavier and heavier, but he looked worried again, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Well, you can stay here. I will ask Grandpa Cai to ask for leave for you, so I will You dragged it, is that good?"
When everyone listened, they nodded their heads, so that there is no need to be punished, and there are fun things that are naturally desired.
Zhou Jingyan made these people smile like flowers in just a moment, and became happy in his heart. He remembered that in the near future, all these brothers and sisters in front of him would die, and he felt a little pity for them in his heart.
Duke Cai was the one who winked the most. Seeing this, he immediately walked out to do the things his Highness ordered.
I was wondering in my heart that His Royal Highness Nine was the most disdainful of doing these things before, but since he suddenly woke up some time ago, he has treated other princes and princesses very well.
Not only that, other people are also very kind to His Royal Highness Nine.
Zhou Jingxu glanced at the house not far away. He could not see clearly the figures in the house. He could only vaguely see a scene of a woman waving a shovel and cooking vegetables. He turned his head and said, "Let's go. Let's go over soon, and when the incense sticks out, we can eat."
And Zhou Jingxu's response was the gurgling sound of the eighth prince's stomach, which caused everyone to laugh.
Of course these smiles are kind smiles.
I saw two little girls in pink skirts rushing to the side of the case, stepping on the chair to the front of the incense case, and blowing vigorously at the incense in the jar.
Zhou Jingxu only felt a black line on his forehead, "What are you doing?"
The little girl is just a pair of twins, wearing the same skirts, pink and tender, attractive, they turned around, smiled and said, "We blow, the incense will be burned faster, and the eight emperors can be earlier Have something to eat."
After speaking, they smiled embarrassedly, "We are also hungry," finally came to the imperial dining room today, and there is no mother and concubine staring at them, there is fragrance everywhere, they are already hungry.
When their voices fell, a few children ran over and blew into the joss stick, "Let's help too."
Zhou Jingxu, "..."
Hope someone will not hate him!
