Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Poisoning And Murder
An incense stick of time passed quickly in the chat with Zhou Jingxu and Zhou Feilan.

However, when the ash was halfway burned, Rong Jin opened the lid of the pot and took out the things he had made. Leaves after leaves, he broke open the cabbage, placed a tray, and sprinkled some things on the cabbage.

Under everyone’s gaze, Rong Jin had already brought his own meals into Gaotang Palace.

At this moment, he was the only one in the hall who had prepared the meal. He walked directly to the Jin Emperor and bowed, “Please try the food, Your Majesty!”

Of course, according to the rules, Eunuch Wei chose a plate from the dishes and gave it to Rong Jin to try. After Rong Jin finished eating, Eunuch Wei took out a small piece and presented it to the Jin Emperor.

The Jin Emperor first glanced at a golden leaf on the cabbage, and there were two leaves floating on it.

Eggs?

The Jin Emperor was very surprised. Did Rong Jin make such a thing?

However, he still picked up some common sense from the silver chopsticks. His mouth was polarized, and there was a hint of unique sweetness and faint fragrance. “It tasted pretty good. I didn’t expect that the Yun Family’s fourth young lady, Hui Zhi Lan Xin, would also have her own ingenuity, Young Master Rong.”

The food the two of them presented today was very simple, but it tasted very good.

After the Jin Emperor elegantly ate the whole egg, Eunuch Wei took out a flower note.

Rong Jin cupped his hands and thanked her. His expression was calm, and the corners of his mouth carried a trace of mockery. He continued to try the food for the others, praising it as delicious.

Because Yun Xiao bet that Rong Jin would win, Zhou Feilan’s gaze had always been on Rong Jin, Cao Bingrong, and the First Prince of Country of Xiyue. Rong Jin was the first to enter Gaotang Palace from the stove, and his every move was observed by the three of them.

Zhou Feilan did not expect that something made in a cabbage would be appreciated by the Jin Emperor? “What exactly did Young Master Rong do? He actually made so many people praise him endlessly?”

Yun Xiao shook her head. She did not know that she would bet on Rong Jin because she trusted him.

She clearly saw a wisp of confidence in Rong Jin’s eyes. Since Rong Jin was able to reveal such a look, Yun Xiao knew that he had absolute confidence that he would win.

Zhou Feilan did not believe it. She waved Yunxiao’s sleeve and said, “Quickly tell me, have you tasted Young Master Rong’s food? If not, how could you be so sure that you would bet on Rong Jin?”

Yun Xiao secretly felt a headache. She and Rong Jin had known each other for so long, but she never knew that Rong Jin’s cooking skills would be so good.

It was only at this moment that she remembered something. In her previous life, she had heard news that the new emperor of Country of Xiyue was extremely good at cooking. He was as affectionate as Xiao Yuqi and often cooked for Xiao Yuqi. Her cooking skills were excellent.

After hearing this, she felt that she did not believe that it was always a gentleman’s cooking. Rong Jin was already the new emperor of Country of Xiyue, so how could he still cook?

After being disturbed by the crowd for a long time, she had the intention to compete with Rong Jinyi in cooking. However, she was thousands of miles away from the capital of Country of Xiyue. She also thought that a woman would have no chance to compete with Rong Jinyi.

However, it had been a long time since this news came, and Yun Xiao had already forgotten about it.

If it weren’t for the competition, she would never have thought of it, right?

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a faint smile. I never thought that in this competition of cooking skills, Instead, he gave her a chance to compete with Rong Jin. ‘”I have never tasted Young Master Rong’s food. Young Master Rong and I only have some business dealings. However, after spending so much time together, we have some understanding of him. If he feels that he will not win, he will admit defeat. Since he has never admitted defeat directly, I believe he has a chance to compete with others in cooking.”

Zhou Feilan was stunned when she heard this. She did not expect that things would turn out this way. Just because of this reason, she gambled two thousand taels of silver on Young Master Rong?

She did not know whether she should say that Yun Xiao was unrestrained or should say that Yun Xiao’s eyes were as bright as torches.

However, seeing that Rong Jin was holding fewer and fewer flowers on the tray, Zhou Feilan felt that Rong Jin’s gaze was extremely good. Now, it seemed that Rong Jin was destined to be the winner.

Thinking of her two thousand taels of silver, Zhou Feilan felt a pain in her flesh. “Fourth Miss, you really don’t respect righteousness.”

Zhou Jingxu listened to the two of them and did not speak. However, his pair of ink jade-like eyes stared at Yun Xiao’s every move. When he sensed the expression on Yun Xiao’s face, he became alert and thought to himself, “Since you can be a person who knows so much, it seems that you are definitely not an ordinary acquaintance.”

He had to think of a way. “The gamble is not over yet. It’s too early to say anything.”

Zhou Feilan secretly nodded her head. She shouldn’t give up so easily.

Zhou Feilan nodded lightly. A trace of determination flashed across her face. “There are still many chefs that haven’t been prepared yet. It is indeed inappropriate for her to make a decision too early.”

At this moment, not only Yun Xiao and the others’ gazes were fixed on Rong Jin, but also on the chefs on the stove. Their gazes were also fixed on Rong Jin.

Originally, when they saw Rong Jin prepare the meal in such a short time, their hearts were already filled with disdain.

I’m afraid I can’t cook, so I want to admit defeat as soon as possible, right?

To everyone’s surprise, Rong Jin’s expression was natural. The meal he had cooked in such a short period of time had attracted the attention of everyone and even won the praise of the Jin Emperor?

What would they do with such meticulously prepared people?

However, no one paid any attention to them at this moment. Cao Bingrong only glanced at the main hall before lowering his head and continuing the meal in his hand.

On the other hand, Imperial Chef Lu already felt that victory was within his grasp. With the fact that Yun Xiao had taken away all the flower notes in this competition, he was already under pressure in his heart.

Who would have thought that the county princess would have an additional Rong Jin?

These people were deliberately obstructing him!

A sweet smell assaulted Lu Yu’s heart again, causing his face to turn pale again. In his previous life, he was so angry that he vomited blood that his body had yet to recover. This time, he was pulled out of the limelight again. How could he not be angry?

He glanced at the incense table. There was still half an incense stick of time left. He still had a chance! You can’t admit defeat so quickly!

He shifted all of his attention to his own hands, but he was too nervous and his wrist couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

One of them accidentally rolled on the ground while carving the radish flower in his hand.

The imperial chef, who had always been at odds with him, came over and smiled. “Could it be that Imperial Chef Lu felt that he had already lost, so he wanted to break the jar and throw away all the dishes he had prepared?”

“Fuck off!” Imperial Chef Lu turned around and glared at him. Taking a deep breath, he took another radish and slowly carved it. However, his gaze was no longer as calm as before. Occasionally, he would look back at the main hall.

Every time he looked at it, he would notice that someone praised Rong Jin’s culinary skills and took away a flower note. However, every time he looked at it, his hand trembled and the food in his hand fell short of its usual standard!

Unexpectedly, he met Zhou Jingyan’s gaze. His gaze was like the stars, pitch-black, yet strangely calm.

He seemed to have seen Zhou Jingyan nod at him and smiled back. His heart was completely calm!

He quickly processed the vegetables in his hand. In a corner that no one could see, he reached into his sleeve pocket. When he took out his hand again, Imperial Chef Lu flicked it twice.

His expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.

The corner of Imperial Chef Lu’s lips curled into a chuckle. The movements in his hand were like flowing clouds and flowing water. He quickly processed all the dishes in his hand.

An incense stick of time passed in the blink of an eye.

Half of the cooks had already entered Gaotang Hall with their own cooked meals.

Imperial Chef Lu raised his head to look at Cao Bingrong. Seeing that he had already prepared the meal, his expression changed slightly. He could lose to Yun Xiao, but he could not lose to an unknown little chef like Cao Bingrong.

Seeing that Cao Bingrong had already entered the gates of Gaotang Palace, Imperial Chef Lu hurriedly walked over and chuckled, “Chef Cao, what kind of dietary pressure are you preparing today?” It was really mysterious that they even used a lid to cover their meals when they entered the main hall.

However, it also made Imperial Chef Lu even more disdainful.

Cao Bingrong nodded to Imperial Chef Lu and said, “If Imperial Chef Lu wants to know, he just needs to wait a little longer.”

Imperial Chef Lu was very angry, but he could not force her to say it. His expression was embarrassed, and his feet were unstable as he fell in Cao Bingrong’s direction.

Cao Bingrong frowned. If he dodged, the food in his hand would be ruined. However, if he did not dodge, he would be hit by Chef Lu Yu.

Just as he was in a dilemma, Imperial Chef Lu grabbed his arm with one hand and stabilized his body. He looked at him apologetically, “I’m really sorry, are you alright?”

Cao Bingrong shook his head and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Finally, the meal was not ruined. “No problem, you go first.”

With great difficulty, he still had the chance to meet the Face Saint. As long as he could win that condition, could he ask the Jin Emperor to visit someone?

Chef Lu naturally didn’t stay any longer. After thanking Cao Bingrong, he turned around and left. After passing Cao Bingrong, the corner of his mouth slowly curled into a wicked smile. The corner of his eyes curled towards Cao Bingrong’s sleeve. Even if the Jin Emperor really died, he wouldn’t be suspicious of him this time, right?

With a cold snort, he strode forward behind the crowd.

After the dishes were tested one by one, only the first prince of West Vietnam had the approval of the Jin Emperor, which made Lu Yu’s heart a little more vigilant.

I never thought that today’s cooking competition would be considered a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

Finally arriving in Imperial Chef Lu, he respectfully walked forward with a natural expression. After tasting the food he had prepared, he respectfully said, “Your Majesty, please try the food!”

Eunuch Wei hurriedly walked in front of Imperial Chef Lu, picked up a piece of fish with silver chopsticks, and placed it on a small plate in front of the Jin Emperor.

The Jin Emperor didn’t feel doubtful either. He picked up the food with his chopsticks and put it between his lips and teeth.

Seeing that the chopsticks were getting closer and closer, Imperial Chef Lu’s heart tightened, as if there was a hand ravaging it.

As long as you eat it, as long as you eat it! His mission was completed!

He kept shouting in his heart!

But at this moment, a discordant voice sounded from behind him, “Father, wait!”
