【052】(1/2)

Yu Wan has always known that Zuixianju has been beaten, but she has already hit the palace.

For Yu Wan, the place like the palace is almost a legendary existence. Can she really enter the palace to cook for the royal concubines?

"Stinky tofu, you are the most delicious. Nothing that others fry is as stinky as you fry it!" Mr. Qin said extremely fairly.

Yu Wan glanced at him lightly, "I thank you..."

Qin Ye Zhan Yan smiled, "Tianxianglou is so powerful, I have never even entered the palace to cook. When I go back, I will promote this matter and our business will be able to go to the next level!"

Yes, Tianxianglou was opened by Concubine Xu Xian’s brother. Even the chefs in his house were not in the palace. Why was it a new Zuixianju turn?

Yu Wan always feels that the pie falls from the sky, which is a bit unreal.

"Master Qin, do you know which empress wants to eat the dishes from our Zuixianju?" Yu Wan asked.

Mr. Qin smiled and said, "You guess?"

Yu Wan laughed and said, "I can't guess, just say it."

Mr. Qin straightened his back and said, "Empress Xu Xian!"

Concubine Xu Xian? Isn’t that the second prince’s biological mother? Is she going to eat the dish of Zuixianju?

Yesterday, she just rejected the second prince's "proposal". Today, Concubine Xu Xianxuan Xuan Zuixianju's chef entered the palace. Could this be a coincidence?

"Did the Empress Xianfei tell me to go?" Yu Wan said.

"What? Are you unhappy? The reward is very generous! This number!" Mr. Qin made a gesture, "And the nobles in the palace are not short of money. If you are happy, you will get some money when you give it a reward, and you will have the money you have to build a house."

This is the truth. Yu Wan understands that Mr. Qin really thinks it is beneficial to call her.

"Okay, since you asked, I said that I still want to sell your favor." Mr. Qin touched his nose angrily.

It turned out that it was indeed Xu Xianfei's palace servant who "instructed" Yu Wan to go. At that time, the palace servant ate a bowl of stinky tofu in Zuixianju and asked Mr. Qin who invented this method. Mr. Qin said that he was the second in charge of Zuixianju. The palace servant told Mr. Qin that he would let her go to the palace to cook for her mother.

In Mr. Qin's opinion, this is a natural thing. Since Yu Wan invented the stinky tofu, her skills are determined by the masters. Is it reasonable not to ask her to go to the palace?

But all this was not the case in Yu Wan's eyes.

At this critical moment, Concubine Xu Xian announced that she entered the palace to cook, and the timing was too subtle.

However, the "decree of imperial edict" has been issued. If she does not go, she will be "resisting the edict and disrespectful".

Yu Wan measured it in her heart and said to Master Qin, "Okay, I will change my clothes and enter the palace with you."

In order to avoid family worries, Yu Wan did not say about the second prince, nor did she reveal that it was Xu Xianfei's summoning. She only said that Zuixianju took over a business in the palace, and she would go back.

On the way to the palace, Yu Wan asked Mr. Qin about Concubine Xu Xian, who was powerful in the harem. Qin Yequan was not curious about why she asked this question. After all, they were going to cook for Concubine Xu Xian, and it was particularly important to understand the Empress's preferences.

"Talk about this empress..." Mr. Qin said to Yu Wan in a slight way he knew.

After hearing this, Yu Wan couldn't help but sigh that the empress's history of making a fortune was simply an ancient version of the grassroots counterattack.

Concubine Xu Xian was born into a businessman. At that time, the Xu family was not the current Xu family. She was barely considered a third-rate wealthy businessman in Xuzhou. She used a lot of money to clear the relationship and chose her daughter to give her to her daughter.

Speaking of which, the Xuzhou show girl quota was not filled in that class, so the Xu family made a mistake.

The merchant's status in the Great Zhou Dynasty was very low, so Concubine Xu Xian became the last-time beauty in the team. She had outstanding appearance, but there were many beautiful women in the harem, and the one she lacked the most was beautiful women.

"It's still luck that she can catch the eyes of His Majesty." On the carriage, Mr. Qin continued, "At that time, Empress Ma had just become pregnant with the eldest prince and was not convenient to serve His Majesty anymore, so she picked a few of the beautiful girls from the show and put them in her palace."

"Concubine Xu Xian is one of those beautiful girls?" Yu Wan asked.

Mr. Qin smiled and shook his head, "Yes, there was a Concubine Li who was extremely favored by His Majesty. The showies are not as good as her. But soon, Concubine Li became pregnant with Longzi."

Yu Wan paused, "Wait, isn't the second prince born by Concubine Xu Xian? How could it be the dragon son that Concubine Li conceived first?"

Mr. Qin said, "That child was not born."

Prince Yu Wan was five years older than the second prince. Concubine Li and Empress Ma were pregnant in the same year. In other words, for five years, no more prince was born in the palace until... Concubine Xu Xian gave birth to Yan Huaijing.

Yu Wan thought about this and cold was born under her feet.

Mr. Qin continued, "After knowing that she was pregnant, Concubine Li followed Queen Ma and found several young and beautiful girls."

"Concubine Xu Xian was picked by Concubine Li?" Yu Wan asked.

Mr. Qin shook his head again.

When all the beautiful girls enter the palace, they will be attracted by the concubines in the throne. This is not only a means of competing for favor, but also a capital to settle down. Although they die quickly with the wrong backstage, they die faster than the backstage. Concubine Xu Xian is the very few latter.

"At that time, she just agreed." Mr. Qin said.

No one was optimistic about Xu's promise, who was alone. Her green head would never be sent to the emperor. If nothing unexpected happens, she will die of old age in her life.

"But guess what she did?" Mr. Qin asked with interest.

"What to do?" Yu Wan asked.

Mr. Qin seemed to have thought of something funny. "She grew vegetables in the harem."

Yu Wan was surprised.

Mr. Qin said, "One day, Your Majesty ate a very delicious cabbage and asked which imperial chef made it. He was rewarded. However, the imperial chef said that it was not his cooking skills, but the ingredients Xu promised to grow were good."

The emperor went to Xu Buying's residence, which was a desolate old palace. Xu Buying rolled up his sleeves and held a hoe to farm in the backyard, and that way it caught the emperor's eyes.

When the emperor was young, he lived in the cold palace for many years and often had no food to fill his stomach. The Empress Dowager planted vegetables for the young emperor and the young King of Yan.

That was an experience that the emperor wanted to look back on the most. No one dared to touch it. Xu promised, but he risked being beheaded and dared to force the emperor to recall every detail of the cold palace.

Concubine Xu Xian is a business daughter, not a rural village girl. How can she farm? Can Baitang farm? How is it possible? So whether it is cultivated or grown vegetables, it is just another scheming.

Yu Wan got to know this Concubine Xu Xian a little more. "Will she become more favored after that?"

Mr. Qin smiled self-deprecatingly, "Where is there any honor and favor? He also lost his favor, but he won the situation in the end."

The emperor handed over the power of the Six Palaces to Concubine Xu Xian, not because he spoiled her and wanted to love her hard in bed, but in the eyes of the emperor, she was the most suitable woman to command the harem.

It seems that such a capable woman is not a coincidence in any case.

...

Today, in addition to Yu Wan, there are two chefs from Zuixianju, who were brought by Master Qin from Jiangzuo. They are in their early thirties and are steady in their work. They have been to the Yu family's old house and humbly ask uncle for cooking skills.

Master Qin was extremely confident about taking him with him.

Yu Wan said intimately, is there really something to do with cooking this time?

The carriage arrived at the palace, and eunuchs were waiting there early.

"Eunuch Wu, I have made you wait for a long time!" Mr. Qin greeted with a smile.

It seems that this is the palace maid who is tasting dishes at Shangzui Xianju. Yu Wan looked at him without a trace. She was a few years younger than Uncle Wan, and she looked handsome. She looked at her kind-hearted eyebrows, but a sharp edge flashed inadvertently.

I think it is not an ordinary person to be able to do things under Concubine Xu Xian.

"Are these chefs who are the chefs who are Zuixianju?" Eunuch Wu looked at Yu Wan and the other two with a decent smile.

"Is it a little girl?" a surprised tone.

Mr. Qin smiled and said, "She is the second leader of Zuixianju. Don't think she is a little girl, she might have done it! Miss Yu, this is Eunuch Wu who I mentioned to you just now."

Yu Wan stepped forward and greeted Eunuch Wu.

Eunuch Wu just looked at her with a faint smile, without showing any unnecessary expression, and then said to Master Qin, "Follow me to see the Empress first."

Master Qin was excited to be able to meet the imperial concubine!

I thought I would be taken to the kitchen directly when I entered the palace to cook...

The group followed Eunuch Wu to Xianfu Palace.

Xianfu Palace is very big. After passing a few doors and turning a few turns before reaching the side hall of Concubine Xian.

Eunuch Wu stopped outside the hall and said respectfully, "Empress, the people from Zuixianju are here."

"Prince."

It is a soothing but solemn voice.

Eunuch Wu led Yu Wan and his party into the side hall.

On the main seat directly above the side hall, Yu Wan met the rumored Empress Xu Xian.

She was wearing a purple palace outfit and eight-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head. She had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, delicate face, slender hands, and even joints. She sat upright in the palace and had an unspeakable powerful aura.

He is worthy of being a woman who has been dominating the harem for twenty years, and this aura alone is not something that ordinary ladies can have.

"Kowtow to the Empress, please pay tribute." Eunuch Wu reminded.

Mr. Qin lifted his clothes and knelt down, "Qin Zuo bowed to the concubine of the wise, and the empress is blessed with great blessings."

Yu Wan and the two chefs also bowed and bowed in turn behind Mr. Qin.

All three of them were quite stable and did not embarrass Mr. Qin.

"There is another girl's house?" Xu Xianfei's tone seemed a little surprised, "Raise your head and let me take a look."

Yu Wan slowly raised her head.

Since he was nominally a chef, Yu Wan was indeed dressed like a chef, with a plain white waist-length trouser skirt and an apricot cotton spring dress. She had not applied any makeup on her face and had only a single bun on her hair. This outfit would not be seen by anyone in the crowd. But Concubine Xu Xian not only looked at her, but also looked at her many eyes.

If you say that facial features are too delicate than Yu Wan, she is the first one to look so comfortable.
