"Hey!"
"Prince Chen!"
Lanxin and Gu Yunxi cried out in unison.
The other servants set out after hearing the sound, and the cooks also ran out of the kitchen to find what had happened. Soon, Jinzhu supported Concubine Xu to come to the courtyard.
The fool was crazily active. Finding a lot of people coming, he released Gu Yunxi and sat on the ground, shaking his limbs constantly in order to eat the food on Lanxin's tray.
Concubine Xu asked about the situation, simply obeyed Prince Chen's intention, and rewarded them with some delicious food.
The three people returned to the side room, cleaned their hands, and ate around the table.
Lanxin looked at the sumptuous meals with her face lighting up with pleasure, and said.
"Hahaha, this is the blessing of Prince Chen to eat such good things. Hey, you are so helpful!"
Lanxin turned to look at Prince Chen on the side of the tab
"Gosh—"Looking at the broken bracelet on the ground, Lanxin screamed in shock and trembled continuously. Her pretty face turned deathly pale.With mind completely blank, Gu Yunxi stood there still and widely opened her eyes in amazement as if she had gotten petrified.Among the three, only Prince Chen was elated. He clapped and laughed at the broken bracelet."Bravo! Great! The treasure is broken now! Hahaha, interesting!"An idea flashed into Gu Yunxi's mind. Gu Yunxi suddenly looked excited and smoothed her knitted eyebrows. She slammed on her palm and said with her sharp and bright eyes."Good! I have come up with a plan to make the one self-exposed. Thank you, His Highness."As soon as she finished her words, she hurriedly and urgently turned to whisper in Lanxin's ear.Prince Chen, opposite Gu Yunxi, gazed at her quietly. The light gleaming in his eyes was transitory as an e
The courtyard in Chuxiu PalaceYunmei never thought that the bracelet in the box was broken. She was confused by the unexpected situation and betrayed by her own words.When the crowd burst into an uproar, Gu Yunxi knelt on the floor, with her head down and her body immobile. Her thick eyelashes fluttered as her cold eyes flickered.Yan Gui put back the lid and waved at some eunuchs, who then swarmed to Yunmei and pinned her down under his indifferent gaze.Caring for nothing else, Yunmei burst into tears and screamed."Your Grace, Lord Yan, I will never do it again! It was Madam Liao. She put me up to it.""Nonsense!"Opposite her, Madam Liao's cheeks bulged and flushed with shame, looking angry and panic.Crawling on her knees, she rushed towards Yunmei across the aisle. Scraping her way over the rough brick floor, she sounded like a ghoul gnawing on human bones.Pi
Under the umbrella, Gu Yunxi watched Madam Liao slowly disappeared with her ceaseless cursing behind a side door at the gate of divine prowess.Refraining from anger, Gu Yunxi regained her composure silently and swiftly."Muxue, let's go back."Holding up the umbrella, Lanxin noticed her friend's strange look. Her limpid eyes blinked as she urged.Gu Yunxi shook her head and replied casually."You may go first. I want to have a walk.""Walk? In this weather?"Lanxin's small face was full of disbelief. But when she saw Yunxi's solemn look and tightly pressed lips, she changed her words."Well, as you wish. I will follow you.""You don't have to..."Retracting her cold gaze from the gate, Gu Yunxi turned to Lanxin and smiled."Take the umbrella with you and go first. You don't need to follow me."Then, she withdrew her damp hands i
Gu Yunxi heard him clearly under the umbrella. Shocked and flattered, she stepped back fast.Puzzled, Leng Qingtang followed up closely, lest the drenched girl be caught in the rain again.After all, she was now "Tu Muxue", a stranger to him, so she should be more reserved.There were many eyes in the Palace. The two of them walking under the same umbrella would draw unnecessary attention due to the disparity of status.Thoughts were whirling in Gu Yunxi's head. She looked down and refused unwillingly with a frown."Thank you for your kindness, Master. But I'm already soaked and dare not to bother you."Realizing that his offer had been abrupt, Leng Qingtang nodded understandingly. He handed the umbrella to her and said,"Take it with you on your way back."Stunned, she gazed into his beautiful eyes that seemed to be looking back smilingly.Composing herself, she reac
Chuxiu PalaceWhen Gu Yunxi came back under the umbrella, she came across the surprised Lanxin."You have returned!"She stared at her good friend as Gu Yunxi shut the umbrella and leaned it against the wall corner.The drop of water flowed down the smooth oilpaper to the ground, which formed a squiggly and slender water line that flowed to the bottom of the steps."Oh, where does the umbrella come from?"Lanxin asked.Gu Yunxi looked down. Her cheeks were a little hot. She stammered,"Well, when I came back, I came across a sister who came to the Garden during the same period with me. She gave it to me."Before Lanxin finished, Gu Yunxi had already retreated to her bedroom. She took off her wet shoes and socks beside the bed and wore a clean court dress.Lanxin looked at the umbrella while frowning and feeling suspicious.She knew that the o
After seeing that everyone was so awkward, Gu Yunyao felt a little embarrassed. She was antsy on the chair and regretted coming to Chuxiu Palace at an improper time.Concubine Xu perceived Gu Yunyao's passiveness. Her smile was pleasantly warm. She put the prince in the arms of Gu Yunyao and said gracefully,"He wanted to see you yesterday. Coincidentally, you come today. He missed you very much. Hug him!"The prince was just over one year and a half. He was chubby and pink. His two dewy eyes were like his mother very much.Half lying in Gu Yunyao's arms, the little prince opened his rosy mouth and looked cheerful. His small and soft hands grasped a wisp of hair in front of Gu Yunyao's ear. He called her with a child's tone."Your Grace Yu, Your Grace Yu..."Gu Yunyao was touched by him. She embraced him happily and kissed his cheeks.Then the prince pointed at a place with his pink and tender
During the lunch, the little prince Huanan Lin showed symptoms of panic. First, he vomited up milk, refused to eat, and then his whole body got fever.Concubine Xu sent a palace maid to invite an imperial doctor to come over. Later, Emperor Jing Xiao and Empress Qian were informed and hurried to Chuxiu Palace to visit.Everyone in the small kitchen was busy. Gu Yunxi made the sweet juice to cool the little prince down, and deliberately added mint leaves, lilies, and other ingredients.After the sweet juice was boiled, it was poured into a small porcelain bowl and quickly cooled with ice cubes, and then was put into a food box. Gu Yunxi took it to the side palace hall and gave it to the female slave of the palace."Where is Tu Muxue? I want to see her."The food box was passed in, and soon a clear male voice came out from inside. The low voice sounded like rubbing against sand, revealing an undisguised impatience. Gu Yu
In Chuxiu PalaceConcubine Xu walked hurriedly to the courtyard, personally helped Gu Yunxi up, and was about to kneel down in front of her."Your Grace!"Unexpectedly, Gu Yunxi stopped her with both hands in surprise, as well as Jinzhu and Yan Gui beside Concubine Xu also came to stop her."Never, Your Grace. Do you want to cut my life short?"Gu Yunxi panicked, and her cheeks were swollen and flushed as clasping the fingers hard.Concubine Xu had a noble status, so kneeling at a chief maid in front of so many palace maids was far from what Gu Yunxi could bear.Jinzhu knew her master best. Seeing Concubine Xu's gloomy expression, she knelt on the ground without saying a word. Her face was sad."If Your Grace wants to thank Muxue, so let me do it for Your Grace."Yan Gui also knelt down, kowtowed and said,"I'm also willing to do it for Your Grace. Muxue,
Terra Nova's ninth year of the Daedalic Years, early spring.Kamakawa Yusui is shocked and annoyed when he receives news of a coup at the Imperial Palace and the imminent ascension of Prince Fuchi Yasutaka to the throne as the next Emperor.Since the Kunhuang Island and Huananhe lost a battle, Kamachi sailors suffered a heavy blow, Kamakawa was forced to take the remaining troops retreated to the south of Kunhuang Island, Tsuneoshima stationed.Unexpectedly, just when he was trying to avoid the previous shame and had been intensifying the study of the new combat program, the country had a great turnaround.Can't think too much, Kamakawa by water immediately point all 10,000 Ying army, lead five Anzai ship and a number of ships, with enough artillery Furlong machine fire speed back to Ying, swore to fight with and Shigeru cuts a high and low winners and losers.One night, as Kamakawa's fleet secretly approached Mizumura Harbor in Kyoto, a thick fog sudde
In the banquet hall of the palace, the fire and candles were bright, four dancing girls lined up, green silk buns, colorful makeup, silk sleeves fluttering and swaying, dancing in a slow and rhythmic dance.Two or three male musicians are not far from them, playing strings, flute, drums, each person's face is calm and solemn, but in the eyes of God duh, seems to have the essence of the aura of a hidden flash.The dinner was organized to celebrate the fifteenth birthday of Emperor Fuchi Masaharu, but due to the defeat of the Terra Nova army in Weihai, many of the entertainments were temporarily canceled, and only the traditional Yehime songs and dances were retained.Profound Ya Qing was the main character of tonight's banquet, at this time he was wearing brand new scarlet damask silk clothes kneeling above the chief belonging to him, looking quiet and enjoying the songs and dances.On the seats to his left were the former Emperor's side consort, Daiji, with h
Terra Nova, Kyoto.As night falls, in a short house in the civilian area, the blind man is anxiously waiting for his mother-in-law to return home from work.She hadn't been back for a day and a night, and that definitely hadn't happened in the past.Could it be that the Ninth Princess has encountered something on her end?Rustling footsteps stopped unexpectedly at the door.The blind man's sense of hearing is much more sensitive than normal people, his eyebrows slightly gathered, and without moving, he got up and lightly rubbed his steps to the wooden cabinet, and touched a sharp dagger from the top of the cabinet and quietly hid it in the sleeve of his coat.The door of the room opened, and by the sound of the footsteps coming in there should be two of them."You're Suigo Show's man, aren't you?"The one who asked the question in Terra Nova was a young man.The blind man turned his head sideways, carefully recognizing the source
A cold wind cut through the long, narrow corridor, and the lights flickered dimly.The man's ragged gasps continued to spill out of the closed wooden lattice barricade door, accompanied by the occasional few hushed cries of pain from the woman."Haru, come on, I'll accompany you to your room."Looking at Yuan Ya Qing's stagnant and godless clear face, Yun Shi's heart seized more than just pain as she tugged on one of his arms.The commotion in the room was in no way suitable for a teenager to be listening in.The teenager's eyes were lax as he took two steps with her, speaking quietly in Chinese: ."...Master, you have to trust me as well...it wasn't Mother and I's idea to march into Da Yi."Yun Shi suddenly became miserable inside, opened and closed his nose and said."I believed you, never had a doubt, and it was for that reason that I traveled across the river and across the sea to meet you in person in Terra Nova."The two co
"Yue Xilou, you traitor shall not die!"Qi and blood surged, and a strong hatred that had never been felt before invaded Yun Shi's consciousness.She jumped up with her eyes heavy with red and lunged at her enemy with all her might, reaching for his neck.Yue Xilou laughed scornfully and kicked her backwards with a flying leg.Yun Shi fell out onto the hard floor a few feet away, choking on blood and letting out a pained _groan_.Wamochi stretched his neck to look at it, grinning imploringly.Tsukishiro looks at the samurai on either side :)"Don't just stand there, take her down and keep her under good guard, she'll be of great use in the future.""Slow down ......"Yun Shi forced to endure the pain of bones about to break trembling climbed up, far away from looking at the abyss Ya Qing, the expression of desolate:"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you, please send the counselor."Empress Yuanya immediately s
The fact that the mute applicant, Yun, who was originally scrubbed out of the test, has been recognized by the Emperor as the Imperial Chef, shocks the entire Grand Cookhouse early the next morning.The cooks and handymen who had looked down on her earlier were now gathered in front of the stove in the cooking room, watching intently as she operated it herself.Even in the past days always rigid board a big white face of apricot leaf female master, this time all people before and after chasing after Yun Shi everywhere running, flattery, mouth like a river, all do their best to please. At sunrise, Yunshi was wearing a green coat and pants, put on a large apron to the stove to do the work.With white flour rolled out and crabmeat and shrimp mince and red fish roe in the filling, the meat buns are pinched out with absolutely thirty-three folds.Chicken breast, corn and green beans are sauteed in oil, thickened with soy sauce and pan-fried wine, and wrapped in so
He is, after all, the Emperor!Following the direction of Master Apricot Leaf's kneeling, Yun Shi looked at the teenager, his eyes filled with astonishment.The standing tasseled crown and the yellow coat are indeed the symbols of the imperial nobility of Terra Nova.But, this young man, he is actually the Emperor."Mute, why don't you kneel down!"The apricot leaf matron raised her eyes to the unresponsive Gu Yunshi and chided."Eh, forget it, forget it ...... Master Chief, you get up too."Meeting Yun Shi's eyes, the teenager's face flushed red and blushed as he explained: ."Granny, I don't mean to deceive you ...... I, I didn't eat well in the evening meal, and I was really hungry just now."Yun Shi's complexion returned to normal, pursed her lips and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.Heh, how could she mind?She was begging for it!The hostess rises obsequiously and comes up to nod at the tee
The night fell slowly, blotting out the last rays of red light in the sky.The entire Western Garden was silent.Cloudseeker stood in the tiny compound under the endless sky, raising his head to look up at the dark inky colors of the night sky.In the field of vision, that heavy darkness seems to carry some kind of adsorption magic, only teaching people to look at a glance, want to look through.She failed the test to become a chef and lost her chance to enter the palace and meet the Emperor.Such a result directly disrupted all her latter plans.After losing her temper for a while, she thought of Hua Nanhe, who is still fighting in the battlefield, Yingyu, who is trapped in the palace of Dayi, and brother Mu Xiu, who is waiting for them to return home.Yun Shi's eyes burned as she quickly regained her fighting spirit.Now is not the time to be discouraged, since one way does not work, then find another way.The hour was already
Terra Nova, outside the Abyssinian Palace, West Court.The large cooking room was busy with players in white shirts and blue pants around wooden cases and stoves.In five days, Emperor Fuchiya's fifteenth birthday will be celebrated, and not only will there be a large-scale celebration dinner at the palace, but an all-day parade and festival will be organized throughout Kyoto."Faster, faster, the hour for the king to pass the meal is almost here, and later on your handmade delicacies will be the basis for whether or not you can stay as a loose cook."The woman in charge, Apricot Leaf, is in her thirties, with a purple shirt and pants, wandering around every corner of the cooking room with a stern look, urging the contestants with her mouth, and repeatedly scrutinizing their cooking techniques with her cold and warm gaze.The twenty casual chef applicants came from Terra Nova folk, both men and women, and most of their referrals were cooks and assistant
