Chapter 117: It's Just Talking, Don't Take It Seriously
Naturally, the emperor also saw it and said with a sneer: "Ten? Does the fifth prince think that my old eyesight is easy to fool?"
Hua Yanxi was also a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to smooth things over, she heard Ye Yibai's strong voice from behind: "Do you have any objections to my food?"
Hua Yanxi felt like her face was frozen with laughter, but she couldn't look back at Ye Yibai at this moment, so she could only explain reluctantly: "It's my daughter-in-law's fault. My daughter-in-law doesn't like the fifth prince, but he likes these mooncakes very much.
A bit greedy, my daughter-in-law..."
"Xiaowu likes it very much?" Upon hearing this, the emperor looked at the mooncakes in the box curiously.
Hua Yanxi thought that he was going to make things difficult again, so she could only say: "My daughter-in-law will talk about him when she goes back. Since the father doesn't like it, then my daughter-in-law..."
"Eat it or not, I don't want to give it to you yet, Yan Yan, take the moon cake back." Ye Yibai's dissatisfied voice came again.
At this moment, Hua Yanxi didn't care that the person standing in front of her was the emperor. She turned her head and glared at Ye Yibai.
Didn't you agree not to talk nonsense?
She was already a "criminal", so did he really want to see her punished heavily?
It’s okay if we didn’t establish a good relationship, but now we’re just trying to offend the “judge”. Where are you, Ye Yibai, from? Are you an undercover agent sent by the enemy?
Ye Yibai didn't know whether he saw clearly the meaning of Hua Yanxi's eyes or was frightened by her expression. He folded his arms and pursed his lips.
Hua Shao, who was standing aside, couldn't hide the joy on his face at this moment. He sneered at Hua Yanxi and mouthed: "Fight with me, you are still young!"
When he was called into the palace to explain the situation to the emperor, he had already promised the emperor that he could add a batch of supplies to the northwest camp. Can Hua Yanxi buy it with a few broken mooncakes?
"Then I'll give it a try." The emperor suddenly said.
When the palace attendant heard this, he immediately stepped forward, took out a small dish, and cut it open with a knife. The liquid inside immediately flowed out, golden, and finally cut into eight pieces.
The palace attendant picked up a piece with a small silver fork and put it in his mouth to test the poison.
I saw that as soon as the mooncake entered the mouth, the expression on the palace man's face changed immediately.
When the eunuch in charge saw this, his pupils shrank, and he subconsciously took the mooncake away. Before he could shout out the word "poisonous", he saw the palace man swallowing the mooncake, bowing slightly and retreating.
The emperor glanced at the little eunuch, with an unclear meaning in his eyes. After a while, he took the fork again and ate another piece. His face suddenly showed the same emotion as the palace man just now.
Although it was only for a moment and he tried his best to hide it later, it still did not escape the eyes of the chief eunuch.
He had been with the emperor for many years and knew the emperor's temperament, so he was always overjoyed. What was so weird about this mooncake?
Could it be that it tastes unpalatable to a certain level?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw the emperor forking another piece.
"You said these flavors are different?" The emperor was obviously interested and his attention fell on the mooncakes.
Hua Yanxi hurriedly introduced: "The one my father just ate is Liu Xin, which has a salty and sweet taste. It is made of meringue, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Flower ingredients are used inside, this is egg yolk, and this is five kernels.
,This is pineapple..."
Hua Yanxi said carefully that the emperor had already ordered someone to get another one to eat.
I tasted several kinds at once.
"Well, it's indeed quite novel. Did you do all of this?" the emperor said in surprise.
"yes."
The emperor looked at Hua Shao beside him: "You do have a good daughter."
Hua Shao's smile was uglier than crying.
He didn't know when this evil girl would be able to cook again, and how she managed to make the emperor so happy. He came here to complain today, not to give her a chance to show off.
"Your Majesty, we..."
"What kind of food did Xiao Wu eat? What flavor." The emperor turned to look at Hua Yanxi and interrupted Hua Shao's words.
Hua Yanxi made a distinction and then said: "It should be fresh meat, crab powder and ice skin."
She didn't dare to say that this man definitely ate all the best food on purpose. If it weren't for the lack of time and the fact that he had just eaten when he went out, he wouldn't have even left seven of them.
Hearing this, the emperor was also a little curious: "Mooncakes also have meat? How did you think of it?"
Hua Yanxi was surprised that the emperor did not go after Ye Yibai, but instead became curious about the moon cake.
All I can do is start talking nonsense, saying that I just tinkered with it, it tastes surprisingly good, etc.
The emperor nodded: "Xiao Wu is quite lucky."
This was said casually, but Hua Yanxi couldn't help but think about it deeply.
After all, the emperor's heart is unfathomable, who knows what he is thinking.
Hua Yanxi was afraid that the emperor would be jealous, so she put on Ye Yibai's shoes when the time came, and said quickly: "If your father likes it, my wife will send you two more boxes when she gets back."
The emperor nodded and said nothing.
Ye Yibai, on the other hand, rolled his eyes in his direction.
A majestic emperor, who has never eaten anything, covets his son's food, and he is not afraid of making people laugh when he tells it.
"Your Majesty, should we talk about business?" Hua Shao on the side couldn't help but remind him again.
The emperor seemed to have just remembered the purpose of calling Hua Yanxi today and coughed. The eunuch in charge immediately understood and quickly stepped forward to put away the mooncake box on the table.
Hua Yanxi also knowingly retreated to Ye Yibai's side.
Someone pulled her sleeves. Hua Yanxi turned her head and saw Ye Yibai whispering: "Why should I give it to him? Why should I give it to him?"
Hua Yanxi whispered: "It's just talk, don't take it seriously, he can't reach out and ask for it when he gets back."
Ye Yibai snorted with satisfaction after hearing this.
"Hua Yanxi, I heard that you openly beat your biological father, how brave you are! Our country, Dachu, has always put loyalty, filial piety and etiquette first, and the first thing to learn is the virtue of obedience. Have you read all your books?" The Emperor said
His face was straight and he looked businesslike.
Hua Yanxi immediately said: "Father, the emperor clearly knows that the daughter-in-law has not done such a thing. The daughter-in-law has always respected her elders, and it is absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing. Now that the daughter-in-law has been framed, I still ask the emperor to make the decision for the daughter-in-law."
"Hua Yanxi, you are so brave. You dare to lie in front of the emperor. The imperial doctor has examined my injuries. Is it possible that this injury could have been caused by me?" Hua Shao said angrily.
Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows: "I have to ask my father himself, how could I know."
"Your Majesty, look at her. She is so stubborn. It's not because I, the father, insist on suing my daughter. She is really too arrogant. That day, the grassroots went to the door of the Fifth Prince's Mansion. They clearly wanted to
She wanted to persuade her with nice words, but she didn't expect her to take action directly. So many servants were there at the time to see it, and one of them was almost beaten to death by her. These can all be verified. "
