Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 199
Chapter 199 Slap One’s Face Fiercely
This expression was so familiar that Yun Xiao found it difficult to control herself.
He couldn’t help but take a step forward.
He, he …
How could this be?
His heart couldn’t help but beat, implying a bit of hope, as well as some undetectable embarrassment and apprehension.
Yun Xiao couldn’t help but hold her breath and looked at the little azure figure without blinking.
She saw the little figure walking forward and stopping at the place where she had placed the food box.
The tasting father-in-law gave it a try, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stood there motionlessly.
The crowd of princes following behind all looked at the young father-in-law in astonishment.
A princess who couldn’t wait to try asked curiously, “Is there something wrong with this dish?”
Eunuch smiled dryly, then said softly, “The princess will know after tasting it.”
Everyone was curious about the mysteries of this dish. To think that it would attract the attention of the dishes’ father-in-law.
The Ninth Prince couldn’t help it. He had always known that Third Emperor Sister-in-law’s cooking skills were very good, so he always liked to pester Third Emperor Sister-in-law to cook food for him.
After eating the fish balls cooked by Yun Xiao last night, he couldn’t forget it and didn’t like to eat anything else.
That was why he woke up early in the morning. He did not know how many clothes he had changed back and forth. In the end, it was already too late to arrive at the Imperial Cuisine Room.
At this time, what Yun Xiao had made was right in front of her eyes, within reach, and she couldn’t help but see that her father-in-law was still standing there, so she pushed him forward and automatically stood in front of the food box.
Her thick eyebrows furrowed slightly. There was a blue and white porcelain bowl in the small food box. However, the bowl was divided into several small spaces by her. There were five balls in each space.
The balls were all different. There were white, black, orange, yellow, and brown. There were a total of seven colors.
He picked up the jade spoon and filled it with white balls for himself. “Xiao Qi, the black ones are black rice balls, the orange ones are shrimp balls, the yellow ones are …” He explained the types of these balls in one breath and then said, “Choose what you like to eat.”
The rest of the princes and princesses were surprised. They all rushed forward and picked out the balls they liked and filled them with soup. After they tried, their eyes widened. They were clearly in the same bowl, but even the soup was different, not to mention the balls that were made with so many different flavors.
After eating the food, they immediately took a spoon to hold the balls in the food box.
Very quickly, the balls were cleaned up by everyone. They were still full of emotions. They all sighed with emotion. The taste was very good. It would be good if they had more balls.
The Ninth Prince, Zhou Jingxu, had gained the reputation of being a foresight early in the morning. He hid all the balls and ate them with satisfaction. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile. Then, he picked up the paper with his name on it and said with a smile, “I’m full. What about you guys?”
The eighth princess nodded her mouth and said, “Ninth brother cheated. You actually ate so much at once. We can’t even share it anymore.” She seemed to finally understand. Zhou Jingxu had only tasted a little of the dishes before, and there were even a few dishes. She only sniffed and left. It turned out that she had saved her stomach for delicious food.
It was simply too bad that he didn’t tell them even though he knew about it!
Zhou Jingxu did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he laughed loudly and said with a frown, “I have foresight. If you haven’t eaten enough, there are still a few dishes ahead. You can eat more.”
In any case, he, who was satisfied, no longer had any desire for the next few dishes.
The Eighth Princess stamped her feet, “Can that be the same?”
Her small temper was exchanged for Zhou Jingxu’s loud laughter. He strode forward a few steps, and the remaining princes immediately chased after him. When they took a step forward, they discovered that they did not take the paper in front of the food box.
The Eighth Princess was petite and small. She crawled over and picked up all the papers. She smiled and distributed them to all the princes.
Seeing this, Imperial Chef Lu’s face turned pale. He glared angrily at Yun Xiao on the other side. There was a trace of ruthlessness in the depths of his eyes. He did not expect that what Yun Xiao had done would be valued so highly by the royal children.
What exactly did she cook? He was unconvinced!
Seeing Yun Xiao stare blankly in front of him, from his angle, he could see Yun Xiao’s mouth tightly pursed. That faint smile was simply a mockery of him.
Her hands were tightly clenched together, and she wished she could go up and tear Yun Xiao to pieces.
However, at this moment, he couldn’t do anything. He just looked at it like this and couldn’t hide his anger.
The young father-in-law who supported him on both sides also had an embarrassed expression, but he comforted him softly, “Don’t be angry, Master. Isn’t the food cooked by the princes liked?” One must know that the day after tomorrow’s competition was tasted by many people. What Yun Xiao did today was only to suit the appetites of the princes. Master also entered the final. When the time comes, he will compete with Yun Xiao for a bit longer. ”
The more he comforted, the more embarrassed Imperial Chef Lu’s face became.
It was like sprinkling salt on a wound.
Originally, using this kind of embarrassment of being trampled under the feet of all the princes to enter the finals was already enough to embarrass him.
His paper was taken away by the prince just like Yun Xiao’s, but Yun Xiao’s was snatched away by the stars while his was trampled on the soles of his feet.
His face was ashen as he fiercely threw aside the two father-in-law who were supporting him. He turned around and left. In the current competition, he was merely adding to the laughing stock.
However, when he wanted to leave, someone was unhappy.
Chef Liu and Chef Lu had always been at odds. How could he miss such a painful trampling on a water dog?
He had a plump figure and a faint smile on his chubby face. In Imperial Kitchen, there was a nickname called the Smiling Tiger. It was only because he had a smile on his face that he got such a title.
Chef Liu glanced at Chef Lu, narrowed his eyes and smiled, “What is Chef Lu going to do? The result is about to come out. Do you want to leave before the result comes out?”
Chef Lu hated Chef Liu the most. Seeing him provoke him, his expression became more and more embarrassing. He even said that he would not lose. He suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth. “There’s no suspense in the end. Do you still need to say it?” Chef Lu hated Chef Liu the most.
Seeing that Chef Liu was smiling happily, the hatred at the corner of his mouth grew even more intense. “The food that Chef Liu prepared has not been tasted by a few princes yet. I wonder what the result will be like.”
At this moment, a little chef said, “Master, the Ninth Prince is already in front of the meal you cooked.” The Ninth Prince always has a very good mouth. There is an unwritten rule in the Imperial Cuisine Room. Whoever cooks the meal the Ninth Prince likes, it means that the meal is delicious.
Seeing that the veins on Imperial Chef Lu’s forehead were bulging, Chef Liu was in a good mood and didn’t forget to add fuel to the fire. He smiled and said, “Although the dishes I cooked are not as delicious as Imperial Chef Lu’s, and I can’t let so many princes take away my tickets, even taking one or two of them is better than being trampled under someone’s feet.”
Hearing this, Imperial Chef Lu’s expression became even more embarrassed. He wished he could rush forward and take down all Liu Yu’s tickets and ruthlessly step on them. However, he also knew that this was just his delusion.
Chef Liu smiled and said, “Why is Imperial Chef Lu so embarrassed? Why don’t you help me see how many princes will take away the paper with my name written on it? Thinking of Imperial Chef Lu’s treatment, I don’t dare to look at the result.”
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes as if he really didn’t dare to look.
Imperial Chef Lu gritted his teeth, but he really turned to look at what the ninth prince would do. If he also stepped on the paper with the name of Imperial Chef Lu, he would see how he would still show off in front of him.
However, this hope of his had finally come to naught.
The Ninth Prince, Zhou Jingxu, lightly sniffed on the food box and smiled to the group of princes following behind him. “This dish looks pretty good. Try it all,” he said.
Although he hadn’t tasted it, with Zhou Jingxu’s words, the others naturally stepped forward to give it a try.
What Liu Yu cooked was a roasted pigeon. This pigeon was roasted tender and scorched. It also emitted a faint heat. There was also soup in the bowl. A father-in-law stepped forward to cut the roasted pigeon open for the princes. He saw a small pigeon in the roasted pigeon. After cutting the small pigeon open, he saw another small pigeon.
Everyone was surprised. They wanted to know how many pigeons were hidden inside. They saw their father-in-law cut open the pigeon again, revealing an egg with a thin outer shell. This egg was golden and yellow. It was extremely beautiful.
Father-in-law had already cut open the eggshell and served the yolk and egg white to the princes.
Although not all princes and princesses liked it, they had to admit that it tasted good.
So seven or eight notes were taken away.
Seeing this, Imperial Chef Lu’s expression became even more embarrassed. In the future, this competition would definitely become the laughingstock of his entire life!
Next to him was Liu Yu’s gentle voice, “Imperial Chef Lu, how many tickets did the princes take away from the roasted pigeons I made?”
Imperial Chef Lu’s expression became even more embarrassed. He ignored Chef Liu and turned around to leave.
Chef Liu opened his eyes in time. The little chef beside him congratulated him, “Congratulations, Master. Your tickets were taken away by the princes.” This amount was enough to be proud of in Imperial Kitchen.
Lu Yu’s eyes flashed with a faint smile. He had already found out clearly that the Yun Family’s fourth young lady had been sent to the Imperial Cuisine Room by the Emperor. No matter what, the Jin Emperor could not let innocent girls stay in the Imperial Cuisine Room until they were old. They would always get married.
This time, Fourth Young Lady Yun only left the Imperial Cuisine Room until the new year. As long as he won this competition, the title of the Imperial Cuisine Room’s manager would belong to him in the future.
Seeing this, Liu Yu Chef wanted to step on Lu Yu Chef’s feet again. He had been in the Imperial Cuisine Room these past few days, but Lu Yu Chef had picked on him everywhere.
Compared to the numerous conspiracies on this side, Yun Xiao did not shift her location at all. She only stared blankly at the figure in front of her in a light green robe. Her eyes followed his movements and rotated. In the depths of her eyes, there was a shallow apology.
Seeing that Zhou Jingxu had already smelled all the dishes, the hesitation in the depths of Yun Xiao’s eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Before yesterday, she wanted to see Zhou Jingxu, but the moment Zhou Jingxu smiled at her, she was already afraid of seeing Zhou Jingxu.
Why? Why did he let Zhou Jingxu die in the meal he had cooked in his previous life?
