Chapter 83 So many helpers?
Kunning Palace.

"Mother, I have come to see you." Qin Yunjing walked in with a smile and found that his own Qin Xiuyu was also here, "Brother, you are here too!"

"It's rare to see you two brothers come together to pay their respects. It's quite lively today." The queen said with a smile.

"Mother, didn't you say that the weather has been hot recently and your appetite is not very good? A few days ago, Concubine Liu said that the lotus seed porridge made by Gu Niansheng was delicious. She happened to be in the palace today. How about asking her to make some snacks for you? ?”

After hearing this, the queen said doubtfully: "The Gu family girl is also a lady from the official family. It is a rare occasion for her to enter the palace. You want someone to make snacks?"

"My son is from the same sect as her now. I just want to make a few snacks. She will definitely not refuse." Qin Yunjing said matter-of-factly.

"Miss Gu's craftsmanship is indeed good." Qin Xiuyu said.

The queen looked at him in surprise, "Have you tasted it?"

"Last time when I was sightseeing with King Zhenbei, I happened to meet Miss Gu and tasted it once. The taste was very outstanding."

Qin Xiuyu has always been picky about food. He has tasted delicacies from all over the world, and being able to get his approval proves that his craftsmanship is indeed good.

The queen did not let go, her calm eyes seemed to see through everything, "She is at Concubine Liu now?"

Qin Yunjing smiled awkwardly, "Sure enough, nothing can escape the eyes of the Queen Mother."

Qin Xiuyu immediately understood, "On the day of Prince Ming's wedding, Gu Niansheng stole the show, and today I heard that Princess Ming was bedridden, so many doctors were invited for diagnosis and treatment.

Concubine Liu is calling Miss Gu into the palace at this time, I'm afraid..."

Everyone has lived in the palace for many years, and they can guess at a glance what Gu Niansheng will face when he enters the palace today. In other words, Yunjing is not here for snacks at all, but just to help Gu Niansheng move reinforcements.

"Yunjing, you really like helping this Miss Gu?"

The queen looked at Gu Yunjing thoughtfully. She knew her son very well. Last time he asked her to help in the Royal Garden, this was really surprising...

"She and I are friends. We know that she is here today for a Hongmen banquet. Why don't we just sit back and ignore her?" Qin Yunjing said matter-of-factly, "The third brother originally chose Gu Niansheng. It has not been easy for Gu Niansheng this year. If Concubine Liu Guifei makes things difficult for her, I just can't stand it."

"Be careful what you say!" the queen said solemnly.

"Mother..." Qin Yunjing looked at her pleadingly.

Qin Xiuyu thought for a moment and said, "Mother, why don't we help this time."

Seeing that her two sons had spoken, the queen said: "Okay!"

At the same time, Gu Hongzhen had just returned to his family, and he was accompanied by Meng Zonglan. This guy had been pestering him to come in and eat and drink since he tasted Nian Sheng's cooking yesterday.

Unexpectedly, right after I came back, I learned that my sister had been invited into the palace by Concubine Liu Guifei!

Duke Zhen Guo originally planned to go to the palace in person, but he had been recuperating at home these days and had not gone to court. When he saw Gu Hongzhen coming back, he gave him the task.

"Concubine Liu has always doted on Prince Ming. This time Prince Ming has lost face, she must be in a very bad mood and will inevitably make things difficult for Nian Sheng. You have to be careful when you go." Gu Hanxuan warned.

"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely bring my sister back safely."

……

Yu Xianchi was discussing the border war with the emperor when he suddenly heard the news from his subordinates. He frowned unconsciously for a moment and then regained his composure.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Liu Guifei has been in poor health recently. It just so happened that I got some medicinal materials here that may help Concubine Liu Guifei recover."

"Oh?" The emperor said happily: "My brother is really thoughtful." After saying that, he raised his hand and called the eunuch manager beside him, and said: "Inform Concubine Liu to come."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu just summoned the Gu family girl to the palace today, and we are meeting her now."

Hearing this, a flash of displeasure flashed across the emperor's brows. He had already said before what happened to King Ming that he should not mention it again in the future.

However, Concubine Liu still called Gu Niansheng into the palace. You can imagine why.

"The girl from the Gu family has also entered the palace?" Yu Xianchi seemed a little surprised, "Don't you, Your Majesty, want to try the snacks that I praised? It was exactly what Gu Niansheng made. Why don't you let her make them today to try what I said is right? ?”

The emperor immediately became interested, "It's rare to hear you praise your cooking skills, which can't even be compared to my imperial kitchen. I really want to find out."

He stood up and said, "I've been sitting here for a long time today, why not just take a walk over there."

"Yes."

However, just as the emperor and Yu Xianchi walked out, someone came to Gu Hongzhen to ask for an audience.

"Your Majesty, Gu Hongzhen said that Duke Zhen Guo has not thought about food and drink since he was punished last time. Only the food cooked by Gu Niansheng can Duke Zhen Guo eat.

He came here now to ask Gu Niansheng to go back and cook. "The guard reported.

"Tell her to go back and cook?"

The emperor chuckled lightly. Gu Niansheng was summoned to the palace. The Duke of Zhen was definitely worried about her safety, so it was normal for him to call her out. But for this reason... it seems that Gu Niansheng's cooking skills are not bad after all!

Gu Hongzhen did not expect to see the emperor so soon, and quickly saluted, "I have met your majesty."

"Gu Shidu, today is just a coincidence. The King of Zhenbei said that your sister's cooking skills are good, so tonight the King of Zhenbei and I plan to try your sister's cooking."

Gu Hongzhen was stunned at first. Even His Majesty knew about his sister's cooking skills?

However, after noticing Yu Xianchi, he immediately understood. This must be the method that King Zhenbei thought of to help his sister get out of trouble.

In the past, he had always thought that King Zhenbei was difficult to get along with, but now he just felt that there was a deep misunderstanding. King Zhenbei was actually so considerate, careful, tolerant and generous under his cold appearance!

"It is a great honor for your Majesty to be willing to try my sister's craftsmanship."

As the team marched in the direction of Chengqian Palace, which was close to the Imperial Garden, as ministers, Yu Xianchi and Gu Hongzhen were naturally not allowed to enter the harem, so they ended up waiting in the Imperial Garden.

However, when they first arrived, they noticed that the Queen was also here.

"I have met Your Majesty." Queen Shi Shiran saluted, feeling a little surprised.

"Queen, are you going to find Concubine Liu?" the emperor asked.

The queen smiled slightly and said, "I have been having bad tastes recently. I heard that the girl from the Gu family is very good at cooking. She happened to be in the palace today, so I wanted to ask Concubine Liu to bring the girl from the Gu family over."

Hearing this familiar rhetoric again, Gu Hongzhen couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

It was a matter of course that he came to pick up his sister. King Zhenbei helped his sister not once or twice. Why did even the queen become his sister's rescuer now?

"Oh? The queen also wants to try the Gu family girl's craftsmanship?"
