Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 192

Chapter 192 Amaze the People with a Single Brilliant Feat
Yun Xiao frowned as she looked at the eunuch standing in front of Imperial Kitchen’s door. Her brows were tightly knitted together.

She didn’t expect that she would only listen to the Jin Emperor’s instructions. It was so difficult to cook a table of food. Why didn’t she rush up one by one to prevent her from entering the Imperial Cuisine Room?

Yun Xiao’s simple and orchid-like eyes rolled around, “Are you sure you won’t let me in?”

The eunuch smiled and apologized, “It’s not that you’re not allowed to enter. The Imperial Cuisine Room is really an important place. Unidentified people are not allowed to enter and exit at will. As long as you can confirm your identity, we’ll let you in.”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a smile, “Alright, since that’s the case, let’s return.”

Throughout the ages, entering and leaving Imperial Kitchen required proof of identity. However, the Jin Emperor had already ordered her to work in Imperial Kitchen. She was also cooking for the Jin Emperor. Emperor’s meals were prepared after breakfast. There were temporary changes. After such a long time, it had already spread to Imperial Kitchen.

Someone had deliberately tried to stop him.

Hearing that, Chun Lan was a little anxious, “Young lady, the Emperor told us two to stay in the Imperial Cuisine Room. We can’t cook. What should we do when the time comes to apologize?” She did not expect that she would encounter so many things just because she was working in the Imperial Cuisine Room.

It had only been two hours since she entered the palace, but Chun Lan did not want to stay in the palace anymore. Her impression was too bad.

Thinking that she and the girl would be staying in the palace for a while, Chun Lan felt like crying.

Yun Xiao casually spread out her hands. “There’s nothing we can do. They won’t let us in. Naturally, we can’t go in. In this way, we can’t cook. At that time, the Emperor might want us to go home. This is a good thing.”

Chun Lan felt that her family’s girl’s words were reasonable, so she did not refute.

Seeing Yun Xiao and Chun Lan say this, the expressions of the two gatekeepers changed slightly. There was some hesitation on their faces. After thinking for a moment, the hesitation on their faces disappeared.

Imperial Concubine Hua is favored in the harem. With Imperial Concubine Hua standing behind them, they will definitely be fine.

Although Yun Xiao said this, even if she didn’t earn a breath for her cooking skills, she still wanted to suppress the arrogance of Imperial Concubine Hua and County Lord Hui Ning.

He looked around and saw a father-in-law wearing a dark blue robe walking out with a food box in his hand.

With a thought, he saw a small stone not far away. He smiled and said to Chun Lan, “Let’s go over there and sit for a while. When this hour has passed, we can return the decree.”

Chun Lan did not suspect him and followed behind Yun Xiao towards the pavilion at the side.

The two of them walked forward. When they passed by the stone, Yun Xiao silently kicked the stone. The stone landed at the feet of the eunuch who came out. Coincidentally, the two gatekeepers spoke to him respectfully and flattered him.

He lifted his foot and just happened to step on a stone. He was unstable and fell backwards. The food box in his hand sank and fell down.

The expression of the gatekeeper’s father-in-law changed drastically. He immediately walked forward and supported the father-in-law. He was very worried, “Eunuch Liu, are you alright?”

Eunuch Liu’s expression was unsightly. He stabilized his body and anxiously checked the food box. Opening the food box, he saw that the food inside was already in a mess. He had long since seen the exquisite food placed in it by the Imperial Chef.

His expression changed drastically. He had only prepared one dish for each dish. Now that the dish had been knocked over, there were no more dishes left. How would he deal with it?

It would take at least half an hour for the dishes to be recooked. Do you want the Empress to wait?

“What should we do? What should we do?” He muttered a few words and suddenly remembered that he had stepped on something before he fell. He swept the corner of his eyes and saw that there was indeed a small stone beneath his feet.

Suddenly, his expression turned fierce and he shook off the two people who were supporting him. “How did you do things? You actually wanted a stone in front of Imperial Kitchen? Are you lazy? Follow me to see the Empress!”

Seeing that there were stones on the ground, the expressions of the two elders changed greatly. Even if they knelt down and made a few noises on the ground, “Eunuch Liu, spare me, spare me, Eunuch Liu, we don’t know why there were stones on the ground all of a sudden.”

Seeing the two kneeling on the ground pleading for mercy, Eunuch Liu’s expression finally became better. “The Empress is waiting for her meal. These dishes can’t be eaten anymore. Do you plan to keep the Empress waiting?”

The two father-in-law did not know what to do. They had never seen such a thing before. They thought to themselves that today’s luck was not good.

At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded not far away. “Didn’t you knock over a few dishes that were difficult to grace and could not be seen on the surface? As for this kind of noise? It was so innocent that it ruined the admiration of my girl for the exquisite food.”

This arrogant tone made Eunuch Liu and the others look a little unsightly. Eunuch Liu snorted coldly and said with a calm expression, “What did you say? This dish is made by the best chef in Imperial Kitchen. You actually said it was difficult to enter the graceful hall. Little maidservant, don’t flash your tongue when you speak.”

Originally, Chun Lan was a little timid. She turned to look at Yun Xiao and saw that her expression did not change. She smiled and said, “I’m telling the truth. Why would I be afraid of flashing my tongue? These dishes can only smell fragrance when I get close to them. However, the dishes cooked by my girl can smell fragrance from a long distance away.”

Before Eunuch Liu could speak, the two kneeling Eunuchs exchanged glances and saw the same decision in each other’s eyes.

Since this woman was here to work in Imperial Kitchen, and she said this, it would be better to push everything that happened today onto the two of them and let them cook. Whether they cooked well or not, it would be the woman who would be punished at that time.

Immediately, a father-in-law stood up and whispered in Eunuch Liu’s ear, “Eunuch Liu, I have an idea here.” Then, he told Eunuch Liu the idea.

Hearing this, Eunuch Liu also felt that this idea was not bad, so he agreed.

“Didn’t you want to enter the Imperial Cuisine Room? I’ll give you a chance now!”

Before he could finish speaking, he was already interrupted by Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao smiled and said, “I’m really sorry, I don’t want to go in now.”

Eunuch was stunned, “You!”

Chun Lan was originally unhappy with these two father-in-law. When she needed a girl, she would let the girl in. She would not be angry even if she was nice. She was clearly the one who begged the girl, but now it was the girl who begged them.

She quickly took two steps to block Yun Xiao’s path. “My lady is a little tired now. She can’t cook for the Emperor in time now. Why don’t we just wait for two hours and go to the Emperor to confess our guilt?”

She raised her head to look at the sky and pursed the corners of her mouth. “Miss, should we go now? If we go back now, we can walk slower. We can also enjoy the exquisite palace. When we arrive at the Imperial Study Room, it will take about two hours.”

Yun Xiao raised her head and smiled at Chun Lan. This girl really understood her intentions. “You’re right. Since that’s the case, let’s go back first.”

The two of them acted as if they wanted to leave, but they had to suffer from their father-in-law behind them. The two of them hurriedly chased after him and knelt down. “Miss, is this servant’s fault? This servant doesn’t recognize Mount Tai with his dog’s eyes. Please enter Imperial Kitchen.”

Yun Xiao walked forward, but her words were unusually sharp. “I’m not Mount Tai, you’ve mistaken me for the wrong person.” If she wanted to take the blame herself, it depended on whether she was willing or not.

Hearing this, Chun Lan’s lips curled up. She wanted to laugh out loud, but in the end, she swallowed her laughter back. She only whispered, “My girl is the fourth girl of the Yun Family. You have indeed mistaken her for someone else.”

The expressions of the two Eunuchs became even more embarrassed. The previous high and mighty position was no longer there. They knelt behind them and repeatedly cried out for forgiveness and forgiveness.

When Eunuch Liu saw that the two of them had already walked ten feet away, he immediately took a few steps forward and stood in front of Yun Xiao, “Fourth Young Lady, wait a step.”

Yun Xiao glanced sideways at Eunuch Liu. She recognized him. He was the second-class Eunuch beside the Empress and was quite favored. “Eunuch Liu, what do you need?”

Eunuch Liu bowed and said, “Fourth Young Lady must have encountered a lot of tribulations along the way. If Fourth Young Lady can save this servant’s life today, this servant will guarantee that no one is allowed to make trouble with this servant while she was in Imperial Kitchen.”

This was what Yun Xiao was waiting for. However, she still put on an act and thought for a moment before she spoke reluctantly, “Since Duke Liu said it publicly, I can’t refuse.”

With Eunuch Liu’s words, she would cook another table of good dishes for the Empress today. Eunuch Liu would definitely say something nice in front of the Empress.

In the Imperial Palace, the Empress was the one who could rival Hua Fei. The Empress must have found out that Zhou Jingyan was going to marry her. She was close to the Empress. First, she could dispel Zhou Jingyan’s desire to marry her. Second, she wanted to find a backer in the palace.

Since that’s the case, this servant thanks Fourth Young Lady. Eunuch Liu cupped his hands and personally invited Yun Xiao into Imperial Kitchen.

The Imperial Cuisine Room was a three-way courtyard. There were sixteen rooms in the front and back. It was no different from what Yun Xiao said. Chun Lan sighed and watched. She didn’t expect her family’s girl to become more and more powerful.

The Imperial Cuisine Room was divided into five grades. One of the five large rooms in front was for fresh vegetables. The other four large rooms were for the dishes cooked by the chef. They were all for palace maids and eunuchs who did not have any grade.

One of the five large rooms in the second row was also used to store food. In the other rooms, the dishes cooked by the chef were for high-grade palace maids, eunuchs, imperial guards, and others.

There were six rooms in the last row. These six rooms were much more exquisite compared to the front. Of course, the chefs here were also the best chefs. There were two rooms for storing fresh dishes. The dishes in the remaining four rooms were all for Emperor, the prince’s grandson and concubine.

The cooks used were also divided into three or nine grades.

Yun Xiao sighed. Things in this world were already unfair, and she was already helpless.

Entering the small kitchen for the Emperor and Empress alone, Yun Xiao first sized up the dishes that could be used in the room and walked over to pick up a few dishes.

Eunuch Liu was in a hurry. He had already sent his young father-in-law to fight. The other big chefs were already preparing lunch. However, what they were cooking was big fish and big meat. It would take time.

Yun Xiao glanced at the young father-in-law who walked in front of her. “I don’t need your help. I have Chun Lan.”

After saying that, he picked up a useful kitchen knife and spun it a few times in his hand beautifully. Then, he put down the vegetables in his hand and began to cut them seriously.

At this moment when she picked up the kitchen knife, only vegetables and knives could be seen in Yun Xiao’s eyes. The rest were completely ignored.

Very quickly, a cabbage was cut, and the sharp saber work and unique vegetable cutting technique made people sigh and gathered around.
