My Fantastic Chef Wife - Chapter 415
Ye Xiaoxian then talked about how Liu Bei moved Zhuge Liang, talked about Taoyuan Sanjieyi, and talked about the villain Cao Mengde.
The meal time of Empress Xiao and the emperor was originally fixed, but after they listened to Ye Xiaoxian’s story, their mother and son unknowingly heard it.
It was not until Queen Mother Xiao yawned that she realized that she followed for a long time.
Knowing the importance of time, she interrupted Ye Xiaoxian and asked Ye Xiaoxian to go back to rest and wait for dinner before continuing.
The little emperor was never satisfied, but this was the order of his mother, and he couldn’t keep pestering Ye Xiaoxian all the time.
After Ye Xiaoxian returned to his house, he was relieved.
…
In this way, Ye Xiaoxian went into the palace daily to deliver meals, and then told the story to the little emperor and the empress dowager, and one month passed unconsciously. The story of the three countries had not been finished yet, but the little emperor was already fat. Moreover, in the story of the Three Kingdoms, many truths about governing the country and the world were understood. He often said that he would learn from Liu Bei, and he should be a corporal and be thirsty. He also wanted to read more books like Zhuge Liang. Only by reading more books can he come up with such tricks as grass boat borrowing arrow and empty city plan.
The Queen Mother Xiao is also very satisfied with Ye Xiaoxian.
At noon that day, Empress Xiao said to Ye Xiaoxian: “When you have finished telling the story of the Three Kingdoms, Aijia can send someone to find your child for you, or you can tell Aijia the life history of your child. Go find it for you.”
Ye Xiaoxian suddenly stared at the queen mother.
“What do you think of the sad family doing this?” asked the queen mother Xiao.
Ye Xiaoxian said lightly: “When I return to the Queen Mother, I will talk about it after the three kingdoms are finished. The women’s children are not in Beiqing.”
“Oh? Why not in Beiqing? Is it Daqi? Or some other small country?”
Ye Xiaoxian did not answer this time and seemed to be bitter.
The Queen Mother Xiao said: “Since you are suffering, then wait for this matter first. If one day you need the help of Ai Jia, then tell Ai Jia.”
Ye Xiaoxian said: “Xie Empress Dowager.”
…
After Ye Xiaoxian stepped back, Empress Xiao lay on the tiger skin soft couch in the house with her eyes closed in contemplation.
She is also a suspicious person. She did not doubt Ye Xiaoxian before, because she thought Ye Xiaoxian was just a cook, and it was not worthy of her investigation.
But now, she found that Ye Xiaoxian not only has excellent cooking skills, but also reads a lot of books. She tells the story in an orderly manner and is organized, unlike an ordinary woman.
Also, when she asked Ye Xiaoxian’s child, Ye Xiaoxian deliberately avoided this question, even if it was bitter, but no mother did not hurt her child.
Queen Mother Xiao felt that she should check this leaf chef.
This matter was about to be commanded. At this time, someone came to inform him that Qin Ming had something to ask for the queen mother.
Xiaotai is just behind to find Qin Ming to investigate Ye Xiaoxian. Since he is here, he can just be ordered to do something.
After Qin Ming came in, Empress Xiao asked him first: “Qin Ming, do you have something to report to Aijia?”
Qin Ming paid a courtesy and said: “Returning to the Empress Dowager, her subordinates did report something. This matter is about Mrs. Xiao Hou. By the way, this matter is the dereliction of duty of the subordinates. Mrs. Xiaohou, but…”
Qin Ming looked ashamed.
“What’s wrong with Mrs. Xiaohou now?” Xiao Empress asked lightly.
She is not very concerned about Mrs. Xiaohou now, as long as she is still alive.
Qin Mingdao said: “Two months ago, Mrs. Xiao Hou left the small courtyard arranged for her by her subordinates and went to Yingfeng Restaurant as a cook. At that time, her subordinates did not stop her. She can be found. Later, her subordinates left Shangjing because of official duties and could only send their own ministries to stare at Madam Xiaohou. Later, they heard that Madam Xiaohou entered the palace…”
The Queen Mother Xiao couldn’t help but interrupt Qin Ming at this time: “Wait, what did you just say, Mrs. Xiao Hou went to Yingfeng Restaurant first, then entered the palace?”
A person suddenly appeared in her mind.
Leaf Chef?
Qin Mingdao said: “The subordinate heard that she was cooking for the empress and the empress dowager in the palace. The subordinate worried that the empress dowager did not know about this matter, so she went to the palace to inform her.”
Empress Xiao: “…”
Mr. Leaf turned out to be Mrs. Xiaohou?
So, should she still use this person?
If she is Mrs. Xiaohou, will she inquire about the secrets in the palace?
But I thought about it, Chef Leaf has been living with Gongren, what secrets can I inquire about?
However, this leaf has never told her the truth, is it trying to use cooking to deceive the emperor’s trust, or does it have a purpose?
Queen Mother Xiao looked at Qin Ming, wondering that he didn’t tell the truth a little earlier, but she suddenly remembered it. At first, she said that Madam Xiaohou was in Beijing, the fewer people knew the better.
It seems that Qin Ming is no wonder.
Empress Xiao said with a headache: “Yes, you go back first.”
“Queen Empress, Madam Xiaohou…” Qin Ming wondered how the empress should deal with Ye Xiaoxian.
The queen mother waved her hand: “The family has their own arrangements for this matter.”
Qin Ming didn’t dare to ask any more, he had to retreat.
…
The Queen Mother Xiao did not immediately find Ye Xiaoxian, and at dinner, she did not ask Ye Xiaoxian any questions.
At this dinner, Ye Xiaoxian told Zhang Fei’s story, which made the little emperor laugh, and he liked Zhang Fei.
When the Empress Xiao saw this, the little emperor said nothing.
After finishing the dinner, Ye Xiaoxian also went back to the backyard. Queen Mother Xiao asked the little emperor: “Yeer, do you like this leaf?”
The little emperor thought without hesitation: “Nature likes it.”
In the palace, everyone is afraid of him, he thinks no one can say a word, but this leaf is different, the leaf will tell a story, will make him happy, and will also make delicious meals.
Sometimes, he would be coaxed like a child. Why is he disliked when there is such a person around him?
If he wasn’t afraid of the leaves being too tired, he would like to keep the leaves around.
The Empress Dowager listened and said nothing more.
Now there are not many people in the palace who know Ye Xiaoxian’s true identity.
Besides, Ye Xiaoxian couldn’t make any big waves in the palace.
…
It was Mid-Autumn Festival in a flash.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beiqing was not lively, but it also required ceremonies, the Empress Xiao would feast on the courtiers and relatives in the palace.
The tradition of Beiqing is different from Daqi. There are no three palaces and six houses here. Naturally, there is no harem to control these affairs, so these things fall on Azhao beside the queen mother.
A Zhao is a bodyguard and housekeeper who needs to manage everything during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
