Yan Langqing has been a little restless recently, and the source of everything came from Lin Dan, who had long been forgotten by her but suddenly appeared. Yan Langqing once ordered her four signature dishes to be packaged and sent to the palace to taste, and the taste was indeed wonderful.
She tried to restore these dishes, but found that even if she used the same ingredients and seasonings, she couldn't make Lin Dan's taste at all. She must have her own unique technique, which others can't see through or understand. She can't give her personal instructions, even if she gets the recipe, it's in vain.
Only those old chefs who have been in the business for decades or even a lifetime can do this superb skill. And how old is Lin Dan? She is two years younger than her. She is only twenty-two this year, but she has already surpassed others by too much. Yan Langqing had to admit that she was uneasy in her heart, but as a royal chef, her self-esteem couldn't allow her to admit defeat to an ordinary cook.
She definitely wants to go to this competition, but she has to wait until the palace rests. However, without waiting for Xiu Mu, her trouble came. I saw several guards rushed into the imperial kitchen with big knives and asked aggressively, "Who made this Bazhen tofu today, come out quickly!"
"It's me." Yan Langqing took a step forward calmly. In the palace, she is protected by the emperor everywhere, so naturally she is not afraid of anything.
"Besides you, who else moved that dish?" the guard asked again.
Several palace maids and eunuchs came forward one after another, all of whom were Yan Langqing's confidants, including the young man who often helped her out of the palace to find food.
"Tie it up and send it to the Department of Judgment and Punishment!" Several guards couldn't help but say that they had tied the person and dragged him to interrogation.
When she heard that she was going to be sent to the black prison like hell, Yan Langqing panicked, struggling and asking anxiously, "Several adults, what did we do?"
"Don't you know if you did something wrong?" Several guards gagged their mouths and dragged them away rudely.
Today, this matter is neither serious nor light, just because the emperor entertained several princes from Mongolia in the palace, and discussed with them about the purchase of war horses. One of the princes had already greeted the palace servants in the imperial kitchen, saying that he could not eat peanuts, otherwise he would get sick. The palace attendant agreed well, but turned around and served Bazhen tofu with peanut butter mixed in it. The prince fell ill when he ate it, with red rashes all over his body, which was very itchy. So the banquet was ruined, and the purchase of war horses was also a problem, and everything had to wait until the prince got better.
In order to give the prince an explanation, the emperor ordered the guards to investigate the matter thoroughly, and immediately found Yan Langqing's head. Yan Langqing really didn't know the taboo of the prince, and no one had told her, but she was the chef after all, and she cooked the dish herself. State guest.
It is clear that there is no spy or conspiracy of other countries involved in this, it is just a mistake, and the Department of Prudential Penalty intends to release the person. However, Prince Gong, who was in charge of the Department of Prudence and Punishment, suddenly arrived, and without a word, threw down two bamboo sticks and beat Yan Langqing and her apprentice, the young eunuch, fifty big boards each.
Yan Langqing was a celebrity in front of the emperor anyway, and the executioner held it high and did not dare to beat him hard. But her apprentice did not have such good luck. After the interrogation was over, his clothes were tattered, blood was dripping, and he was no longer human. After being dragged out of the black prison, Yan Langqing's legs and feet were soft, and her tears flowed down uncontrollably. Others say that the palace is a place that eats people, and because the emperor is guarding, she never feels it, but today, she finally understands that this dark cell is indeed a big mouth, just waiting to swallow people alive.
While being pressed on the bloody floor for interrogation, she vaguely heard Prince Gong say, "My imperial brother has told me that I will beat him hard... I have provoked his eldest treasure... Hey, where is this concubine? He is a cook with excellent craftsmanship…”
Yan Langqing is not a fool, she soon understood that the reason why she was executed was because she had provoked people she shouldn't have provoked. But who is this man? The first thing she thought of was the cooks in the imperial kitchen, because only by dragging her down would the position of the chef be vacated.
She looked at everyone like a bad person now, and she didn't dare to stay for a moment after returning to the imperial kitchen, she just wanted to go home quickly. But the decree from the top really came down, and her identity as the royal chef in the palace was clarified, and she was sent back. She was stunned again, full of unwillingness and humiliation.
She really didn't know anything about these things today, and no one came to tell her that the prince couldn't eat peanuts. She was framed, but she had no evidence, so she couldn't argue, and before she could even change her bloody clothes, she was put on a carriage and sent out of the palace.
The young eunuch who often went out to the palace to choose food on her behalf was severely injured and was thrown into the courtyard. Whether he could survive or not is still a matter of choice. Even if he survived, he would not be able to return to the imperial kitchen in the future, so he could only go to the cold palace to serve those lunatics , or go to the Huanyi Bureau to clean the toilet, the hard days are still to come.
…
His son was beaten with blood by the government, but Zhou was frightened and kept asking what he should do in the future. The store was smashed, the signboard was destroyed, and the nobles still put down their words and were not allowed to open. Do they want them to kneel and beg that little slut Lin Dan? Zhou Shi was not reconciled, but if he didn't ask Lin Dan to come back, his home would not be better. The 100,000 taels of money they lost was their greatest asset. Years or eight years can't be slowed down.
Yan Shouye gritted his teeth and said, "What are you begging for? She has a backer, so does our family. Our family's backer is still the emperor. When Lang Qing comes back, I will let her go to the emperor to beg and nothing will happen. In the future, she will be a concubine."
"Didn't you say she was going to be Mrs. Hou?" Zhou Shi finally felt relieved.
"Mrs. Hou is a piece of shit, it's better to be a goddess. Over the years, I kept Lang Qing from marrying her, and you still think I'm delaying her future. Look at her now, if I hadn't held her back, she would have had the fortune she is today. When Lang Qing comes back, even if this hurdle in our family is over, I will let her file a lawsuit in front of the emperor, rectify Weiyuanhou and these people, and avenge me!" Yan Shouye became more and more excited. , propped up his upper body and shouted, "Someone, go to the door to see if the lady is back!"
Immediately, a maid ran out, and after a while, she ran back in a hurry, her voice was hoarse: "It's not good, it's not good! Miss, Miss came back covered in blood, and was snatched from the royal chef. job!"
The palace servant who sent Yan Langqing back got Prince Gong's orders and told her that she had made a big mistake and was banished from the palace. The pedestrians who come and go are all neighbors who live nearby, and they are often bullied by Zhou Shi and Yan Shouye, and they can't help showing gloating expressions on their faces. Should! I thought it would be great for my daughter to be a royal chef, and I didn't think that you would be today if you don't think of others as human beings!
Yan Langqing was so embarrassed that she covered her head with a thin blanket. Only then did the servant carry herself out of the car. When she returned home, she was shocked when she saw her father who was also lying on the hospital bed.
Yan Shouye was completely panicked, so he told the story of bullying Lin Dan's mother and daughter and setting fire to the restaurant in his hometown. They are all willing to stand up for her. If I knew this, I… "I won't provoke her!
But in the end, Yan Shouye was reluctant to say it. He pondered for a moment, and then said in deep thought, "Your Majesty, our family can't be trusted. Lang Qing, you can send a letter to Tang Peng and ask him to help you. I'm afraid you don't know, last time Tang Peng was there. The restaurant in my hometown entertained several princes of Mongolia and Sri Lanka, but Lin Dan gave him a bad face. He was tired of Lin Dan. As soon as I said I was going to burn down the restaurant, I asked him to help manage the government in Nancheng, and he agreed. He is so kind to me because of your face. If you open your mouth, he has no reason to refuse. Our family has to open a store, otherwise what will we eat and drink? But if we want to reopen the store, we have to Do you have a backer? Tang Peng is, after all, the servant of the Ministry of War, and the son of the Yongding Marquis’s mansion. In view of his face, Prince Cheng won’t come to smash the sign again.”
He talked a lot, but Yan Langqing only heard the words "Mongolia", and she was stunned, and immediately asked: "Did the prince of Mongolia eat at Lin Dan's place? She and several princes Have a relationship?"
"How could she have friendship with several princes? It was Tang Shizi who brought those people there. A few years ago, Tang Shizi and Mongolia worked together to fight against the Huns. The two sides are friends with each other, and the friendship is very good." Yan Shouye intends to donate When an official came to Dangdang, he naturally knew very well about the important affairs of the court.
"Is it Shi Ziye? It turned out to be Shizi Ye!" Yan Langqing was completely stunned, and tears fell in the blink of an eye. She thought it was the people in the imperial kitchen who joined forces to frame her, but it turned out that there was also Tang Shizi's handwriting. Also, apart from the prince, who can invite the prince of Mongolia, who can put his hand into the palace
There were also Prince Cheng and Prince Gong, all of whom came forward for Lin Dan. She worked hard to make a living in the palace and made so many contributions to the family, but all of them were destroyed overnight. Why is this
Yan Langqing came out of sadness and roared: "Dad, didn't I tell you, let you live in peace, don't make trouble, you all take my words as a deaf ear? When you made trouble, I was chased by Hou Ye. When I left the mansion, I was hated by the eldest son to this day. Now you are making trouble again, I was kicked out of the palace by the emperor, and I lost all face. Are you satisfied now? How many times will you drag me down?"
Looking at his daughter who was half-lying on the chair and weeping, Yan Shouye was ashamed and remorseful, but he had no choice but to murmur: "Dad didn't expect Lin Dan to be a thorny hedgehog, I can't touch it. , or else you should send a letter to Tang Peng, he will help you for sure."
