I went crazy after dressing as a villainous tyrant

Chapter 21
Ye Xingci was not ashamed of his family background. Seeing the contemptuous looks from all around him, he still replied generously:
"Caomin was born in a poor family. Since childhood, there was no one to support and study in his family. Thanks to the sacrifice of wine, he loves to eat herring made by Caomin's father. He taught Caomin for a few days. After his parents left, Caomin inherited what he had learned and became a cook. Don't dare to call yourself a disciple of offering wine."

"The grass-roots people have little talent and learning, and they are not well-known in Shengjing City, but they are really unknown people."

As soon as the words came out, everyone was startled, and when they felt that Her Majesty the Empress was going to be furious because of this matter, Lan Yao showed an expression of indifference, and said clearly:

"So that's the case, then why do you dare to stand on this golden palace with your body, aren't you afraid that I will kill you in a fit of anger?"

Lan Yao's voice turned cold, Guo Huaizhi, the attendant of the Ritual Department, reprimanded him, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's really absurd that a cook dares to go up to the Golden Luan Hall and speak out loudly. Come here, why don't you stop?"

All the ministers also looked at each other in blank dismay because of the identity of this person, and started discussing, mostly with disdain and contempt.

When Ning Yi saw this, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and he scolded in a cold voice: "Who dares this king?"

Although Ning Yi is valued by Lan Yao now, a crippled prince has been idle for five years, and has already been belittled as worthless in the court.

Therefore, Yue Mingkang, Marquis of Qingyang, who was concurrently serving as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, saw him being so stubborn, and immediately taunted him:
"It's just a poor and lowly person, and he is also worthy to speak nonsense in this hall. Your Highness, King Jing, can anyone come to this palace? Could it be that you are old and dizzy, and it is really ridiculous to find such a cook to give advice. ah!"

Ning Yi had always looked down on this kind of person who was based on bloodlines, his eyes suddenly became very strange and sharp, and his words were very indifferent:
"Where can Qingyang Hou be so noble? Counting up to three generations, the ancestors of your Yue family were nothing more than pig-killing reckless men. You won the title of noble inheritance from your ancestors, and you became the servant of the official department by standing in line. After all, you Nothing!"

"If you go back and talk about it, Qingyanghou and the chef who went to the palace today might be the same ancestor? Why don't you despise yourself?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall roared with laughter. The young and impatient Qingyang Hou couldn't hold back for a while, and was about to rush forward to reprimand him when the time came. It happened that Feng Jin felt that Having nothing to do all day is a bit boring. Seeing the endless quarrels in the hall, he also found the time to say:

"This is very interesting. Let Qingyang Hou also hold the butcher's knife and do it yourself. Then Ye Langjun, you can use your strengths and make the best use of everything. I would also like to try the cooperation between the two of you." What a delicious meal!"

Hou Qingyang's face turned pale after hearing the words. Looking at the Shura demon who was more terrifying than the female tyrant, he was terrified and had no time to answer. Ye Xingci, who was standing in the hall, responded without timidity. :

"If Marquis Qingyang is willing to prepare ingredients, Caomin will do his best to cook delicious food for His Majesty and Empress!"

Feng Jin looked at this seemingly ordinary young man with ease, his eyes revealed a light that penetrated everything, and smiled lightly:

"Then I have to look forward to it a little bit. I believe that with the courage and insight of Mr. Ye Lang today, the future will not be limited to the place of cooking!"

Few people dared to look at Feng Jin's unfathomable eyes. Inside and outside the court, almost no one who saw him did not feel fear, but Ye Xingci still did not show fear, thanking him:
"Caomin thanked you for your appreciation, today's promise, Caomin will definitely fulfill it."

Ye Xingci's advances and retreats were measured this time, and he was also praised by Feng Jin, the queen who was rarely seen by many people, which really made Qingyanghou who was frightened in his heart darken a bit.

Lan Yao watched the excitement for a while, and seeing that Feng Jin had already paved the steps for herself, she immediately tilted her head and said with a leisurely smile:

"Qingyanghou, this time the Queen wants to eat the delicious food you slaughtered and processed. I really can't bear the disappointment of the Queen's hope. How about this? During this time, you can carefully prepare it at home!"

This deprivation of official position is so obvious, Qingyang Hou is not so stupid that he can't understand it, cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep is the thing he disdains when he was a child, so he studied and became a civil servant. Can't help blurting out:
"Yes, but Your Majesty, I won't!"

Lan Yao raised her eyebrows, and her voice became colder: "I can learn it if I don't know it!"

"Marquis of Qingyang, you are a noble lord, from an official to a servant of the Ministry of officials, you can be said to be famous, but you look down on the chef from the bottom of your heart. Could it be that now you have even forgotten the hardships of your ancestors fighting against the late emperor?"

Lan Yao once again got mad at the dog leg that she once loved so much, which really scared the latter into panic, begging for mercy repeatedly:
"I don't dare, I dare not forget, I will learn now, I will learn now, and please forgive my mistakes for the sake of past affection!"

Lan Yao looked down on such a spineless flatterer, but now she seized the opportunity and immediately reprimanded him sharply:

"It is said that the man who digs the well is not forgotten when drinking water. As the servant of the Ministry of officials, Qingyang Marquis shoulders the important responsibility of selecting talents for my publicity, but now he casually despises and slanders the people of my publicity. How can we talk about selecting talents?"

"So what about the cook, 360 lines, each with its own talents, don't you think you cook your own food at home in Qingyanghou? If there is no cook, you may have starved to death long ago!"

Qingyanghou is not stupid, he has come to this point, although he is still pleading guilty and begging for mercy, but he also knows that there is no room for change, so he is heartbroken, eyes closed, and said:

"I know that I have failed to fulfill my duties. Listening to His Majesty's instruction today is like enlightenment. I am willing to resign from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. I will devote myself to learning and improving, and try to make up for the shortcomings. I also ask for your permission!"

Lan Yao had read the supply appraisal book of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and understood that he was just a sycophant with a vain reputation and empty appearance, so she also took advantage of today's incidents, and by the way beat the people who had their own thoughts in front of her. The minister worked hard and smiled immediately:
"Prelude!"

"When Qingyang Hou has free time, let's prepare meals for the queen."

After dealing with this little episode, when the officials were thinking about how to protect themselves wisely, Lan Yao once again placed her eyes on this thin young man whom she was very interested in, and asked:
"Ye Xingci, I haven't heard your answer yet!"

Ye Xingci, who came here with a lonely heart, was not frightened by the battle. Under the gaze of all kinds of eyes, he bowed respectfully and said loudly:

"Caomin is alone now, and he dared to go to the Golden Palace today because Caomin is willing to believe in the edict of His Majesty's public speech yesterday. Although Caomin came from a humble background, he has listened to the teachings of offering wine since he was a child, and he has the ambition of the world, and looks forward to making contributions."

"That's why Caomin is willing to use his wealth and life to test His Majesty's willingness to accept advice, and open the way forward for me who have made great announcements!"

"I heard that Your Majesty is open to speak out. Today, the grassroots have three plans to offer His Majesty, which can ensure my country's prosperity and people's peace, and help Your Majesty create a prosperous world!"
