Eunuch Ping came in, sighed and said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so forget about the assessment. Eunuch, I will remove your name now."

What, delisting?

After saying this, Chu Qiao jumped up from the bed. Regardless of the pain in her thighs, she stopped Eunuch Ping.

"Eunuch Ping, Eunuch Ping, I'm feeling better. I'm a little better. I don't know why this morning, but my head doesn't hurt at all. It really doesn't hurt anymore. I can also take the assessment."

In order to read, she avoided working for several days and felt a little embarrassed.

"It'll be fine so soon. Didn't you say yesterday that you can't move yet?" Eunuch Chen raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qiao. This girl has been well taken care of in the past few days, her face has become much rosier, and she is becoming more delicate and charming.

"How can I let my father-in-law fight for me in vain? Chunxiang also wants to enter the imperial dining room. Even if it hurts, I have to persist."

Chu Qiao was telling the truth. To Eunuch Ping, this title was insignificant, but to Chu Qiao, it was of great significance.

Eunuch Ping was very happy that Chu Qiao could say this, so he nodded.

"The quota has been taken. Getting rid of it now is the same as being eliminated. Otherwise, I will let you try. Now go out and prepare. The selection competition is about to begin."

"Okay, I will definitely not let my father-in-law down."

Chu Qiao laughed, and her initial bad impression of Eunuch Ping disappeared. No matter whose face this father-in-law was doing, she would be grateful if he didn't embarrass her.

Changing clothes in a hurry, Chu Qiao limped out of the room, facing the bright morning sun, took a deep breath, exhaled, and clenched her fists. No matter what, this was an opportunity, and she would definitely

To gain a firm foothold in the palace.

The examination in the imperial dining room was just the beginning. Chu Qiao raised her feet and walked out with difficulty. Her legs were still very painful and it was not convenient to move. She was still taking the examination in the imperial dining room, so she didn't need her feet, otherwise she would be in trouble.

The Imperial Kitchen Selection Contest was held in a large square one mile outside the palace. It was called a competition on the surface, but in reality it was like a celebration. The entire imperial kitchen stewards, big and small eunuchs, and famous imperial chefs all came, and the huge venue had red flags.

Flying, colorful ribbons flying together.

There is a plaque with a large Chinese character "CHE" written in gold.

As a result of the competition, a winner, that is, the champion, and three cooking apprentices will be selected. The selected cooking apprentices will be personally led and trained by the royal chef in the kitchen to become candidates for the future royal chef, and ten chef apprentices will be left at the same time.

, used as a backup.

Ten people from the imperial kitchens in the inner and outer imperial kitchens served as tasters, as well as the palace's female officers of food tasting, female officers of smell, female officers of health, and several empresses who were very fond of delicious food also came to join in the fun.

Eunuch Chen came as the deputy general manager, Eunuch Ping came, and Eunuch Lan, the chief eunuch of the imperial kitchen, also came. Everyone sat down according to their positions.

"I have chosen one. We also want to choose one for the imperial dining room." Eunuch Lan said.

"That's right, that's right." Eunuch Ping smiled, but felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Although both the inner and outer imperial dining rooms are called imperial dining rooms, the people they serve are different and their status is different. They are both the chief eunuch, but Eunuch Lan is a bit more arrogant than Eunuch Ping. When he speaks, he always feels domineering.

Eunuch Ping has been dissatisfied with Eunuch Lan for a long time, but with Eunuch Chen present, he did not dare to get angry.

"There is also a handyman named Li Chunxiang in the imperial dining room outside, who can really cause trouble." Eunuch Lan said sarcastically.

Eunuch Ping frowned and didn't say a word, which made Eunuch Lan even more proud.

The venue for the competition was crowded with people. Although it was well organized, it was also overcrowded. It would take several rounds of the competition before the place would become quiet.

There are a total of three hundred and fifty people participating in this selection competition. One hundred and fifty people have been eliminated in the preliminaries. Those who can walk into this place today are all the elites of catering from all over the world. They are definitely not free.

, it’s not that easy to win against them.

These elite gourmet talents, both male and female, are all in their early teens. If they can be selected into the palace, they will have a bright future. No one will let this opportunity pass easily.

Chu Qiao walked into the venue dragging her legs that were not yet fully healed. She was frightened by this scene, and she was actually a little worried. With only theory and no practice, could she stand out among so many people?

Is the imperial cuisine book really useful here? Regarding this point, Chu Qiao was not sure.

"Sister Chunxiang, come on!"

Outside the venue, the little man and the big man raised their fists and cheered for Chu Qiao in a low voice. Chu Qiao smiled awkwardly. Even if she cheered again, she only had this little ability. A little handyman walked in here.

, just like a frog in a well.

"Do you think Sister Chunxiang can win?" The little man stretched his neck and asked in a low voice.

"Sister Chunxiang has great courage, but what about her strength? Hey, maybe she has to go back and take a nap early." A water-carrying eunuch laughed.

"What did you say you?"

The big guy hit him on the head and said in a muffled voice: "I think Sister Chunxiang is invincible and brave enough to survive the first round. As for the second round, even if she is eliminated, she is still our mighty Chunxiang knot."

"

Well, after all, the eunuchs who were carrying the water had little confidence in her and believed that she had to get through in the first round. Even if she got through the first round by luck, she would not be able to pass the second round no matter what.

It seems that no one has much hope for this Li Chunxiang. Some people came to watch the fun. One of them was little Eunuch Li who was sitting next to Eunuch Ping. Last time he followed Eunuch Ping's order and stepped forward to help Chu Qiao, but he

Being pushed out by Chu Qiao made him very embarrassed. At this time, his eyes widened and he secretly thought in his heart that if Li Chunxiang was eliminated this time and went back to work as a handyman again, he would definitely let this woman have no chance.

Have a good life.

In a corner of the venue, in an inconspicuous place, stood a woman, her eyes staring at Chu Qiao in the venue. She was none other than Ye Yunfang, the personal palace maid next to Empress Zhaoyi.

A few days ago, Ye Yunfang heard that Chu Qiao got into trouble and was beaten up. She wanted to go to the imperial dining room to have a look, but she knew the mood of Empress Zhaoyi well and did not dare to go there rashly. This time she heard that Chu Qiao also signed up.

After participating in the imperial dining room selection competition, he carried Empress Chaoyi on his back and said that he was not feeling well. In fact, he came to peek at Chu Qiao's competition.

She said nothing, was low-key and calm, but her eyes burned with blazing fire.

"She can do it..."

Ye Yunfang read silently.
