After time travel, the princess became his favorite

Chu Ling's heart raised to her throat, her spine pressed against the back of the chair, her expression stiff.

Xie Huaiyu walked up to Chu Lingyao and bent down.

The two of them were close at hand, and the smell of wine was steaming in the only space.

Chu Lingyao curled up one hand in his sleeve, waiting for Xie Huaiyu to make a move before taking action.

But Xie Huaiyu's next step was to reach out and twist a fallen leaf in her hair.

Xie Huaiyu waved it in front of Chu Lingyao's eyes, "I guess you dropped it from the tree in the courtyard."

Chu Lingyao felt relieved, but her cheeks were covered with a thin layer of powder.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

Xie Huaiyu straightened up, his eyes like the moon and full of stars, "You're welcome."

*
After hearing Xie Huaiyu's words, Chu Lingyao only wrote the recipe for making preserved fruits to Dianshan Bureau.

Three days later, the nanny from the Food Bureau came to see her.

Grandma had a bitter look on her face. She had no choice but to bother Chu Lingyao.

The chef tried the preserved fruits for three days, but they all failed at first and could not be eaten at all. Later, they were able to be eaten, but as soon as you tasted the taste, you knew they would not be on the table. After that, they got better, but only a few of them were edible.

The spoiled preserved fruits can only be dealt with by the grandmothers. It really makes my stomach hurt to eat them.

Chu Lingyao was the best acquaintance with this nanny in the Dining Bureau. When she was a little pockmarked, she took the best care of her.

Chu Lingyao knew the purpose of her visit, but she still went through the process.

"Mom, come on, is there anything wrong with Fang Zi?"

Mammy shook her head quickly. In front of the identity of the concubine, the communication between her and Chu Lingyao could only be reduced to nothing, and she lowered her head to explain.

"How could the concubine make a mistake? The steps for making preserved fruit are simple, but I don't know where the chef made a mistake. It has never reached the level of being able to serve it. I would like to ask the concubine to give me some guidance."

"Mommy, please be polite to me. It's just a trip."

After hearing this, Mammy raised her eyes and stared at Chu Lingyao. There was no airs on her face, and there was no contempt for the lower class in her eyes. Mammy smiled and said, "Thank you, Concubine."

Chu Lingyao went to Dianshan Bureau.

The chef was anxiously reading the recipe with only a few lines of words over and over several times.

The above steps are so simple that it would be more difficult for him to copy a dish, but he just can't achieve Chu Lingyao's effect.

After Chu Lingyao came, she wanted to do it herself, but her mother-in-law and the chef were so frightened that she could just dictate it.

Chu Lingyao thought to herself, how can this work? If the oral temperature is not right, it can't be done.

Only by herself can she change the heat with her hands and feet, allowing different varieties of fruits to heat up and evaporate the water.

Chu Lingyao had no choice but to use a commanding tone to ask her grandma's chef to make room for her.

Chu Lingyuan chose apples. She washed them with salt water, sliced ​​them, and applied honey on them.

The heat of baking apples was relatively high, so she secretly added firewood to the oven.

Finally, put the apples into the oven.

While she was waiting, the maids and maids brought her water and cushions, and even squeezed her shoulders and beat her legs.

The corners of Chu Lingyao's lips twitched. She didn't even use any strength. Why did she feel like she was moving bricks?
Soon, the dried apples came out of the oven, and the sweet smell hit your nose.

Chu Lingyao asked the mothers and the chef to taste it.

None of them dared.

Chu Lingyao could only say: "If you don't taste it, how will you know if it is the same as mine when you make it?"

After hearing this, the chef and the nuns each took a piece and ate it.

As soon as you take your mouth, the fruity aroma lingers and the sweetness of honey spreads in your mouth. The two have a perfect balance of taste, soft and waxy but not greasy, leaving a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.

At this moment, they knew why the ladies in the harem wanted to eat this preserved fruit.

Compared with fruit, this preserved fruit is more like a snack. It can supplement the nutrition of the fruit and is as delicious as a snack.The chef's arrogance soared, and he repeated the scene under Chu Lingyao's watchful eyes.

But the chef didn't add firewood, the flame gradually became smaller, and the moisture in the apples that required high temperature was not fully evaporated.

When it was taken out of the oven, the sweet smell was not diminished, but in the mouth, there was a wet taste between the teeth, and the honey was not completely integrated with the apples.

The chef also took a bite, and he was as good as Chu Lingyao.

The chef thought for a long time, and his eyes suddenly noticed the dry firewood.

The steps are exactly the same. The only thing that can change this human condition is the burning fire.

The chef asked: "Concubine Concubine, I think the cooking temperature must be different from that of Concubine Concubine, which is why the taste is so different."

Chu Lingyao looked at the chef in surprise, as if a little confused, and she said: "But the heat, I only see it by sight, there is no quantitative measure, I know subconsciously whether it can be done. If you don't mention it, I really don't know." Come to think of it, heat is actually a factor that affects preserved fruit.”

Chu Lingyao was not afraid of telling lies. The wood-burning fire couldn't set the temperature like an oven, so there was nothing wrong with her saying so.

The chef suddenly looked embarrassed.

Chu Lingyao said: "How about this? I'll do it every day until the chef remembers how much firewood is needed for each fruit and how high the fire is. Is that feasible?"

The chef waved his hand, "How can this be done? Inviting the concubine to the Dining Bureau today is already breaking the rules. This slave will figure it out on his own."

Chu Lingyao sighed, "There are many kinds of fruits. It takes a long time to try them all. I also want the ladies in the harem to taste these preserved fruits as soon as possible. Don't feel distressed. I will help the prince." I said it myself.”

The chef wanted to persuade him again, but Chu Lingyao didn't give him a chance and left first.

Xie Huaiyu lived in Xueyang Palace, which was close to Qingyaxuan.

The sun was hanging overhead, it was noon, and Chu Lingyao could still eat at this moment.

When Rouxi heard that she was going to Xueyang Palace, she frowned and said, "Concubine, the prince usually doesn't see people."

She put it mildly, it wasn't that he didn't see anyone, it was that he didn't see his wives and concubines.

Rouxi was worried that Chu Ling's trip was in vain, so she mentioned it.

Chu Lingyao didn't take it seriously, "I'll find out if I try it. If he doesn't see me, I have to find a way to see him."

Rouxi didn't say anything more and followed Chu Lingyao to Xueyang Palace.

When Chu Lingyao arrived, the guards in front of Xueyang Palace stopped her.

The two guards said nothing and did not lower their eyes.

Chu Lingyao said respectfully: "I hope I can let you know that the prince will leave if he doesn't see me."

The two guards remained motionless.

Chu Lingyuan was speechless. If they hadn't been breathing, they would have thought they were wax statues.

The guards were as stable as Mount Tai, and even if Chu Lingyao couldn't force his way into them, they were like the prince's orders.

At worst, if I come a few more times in the future, I will always meet Xie Huaiyu. If I am really unlucky, I can only wait for him in Wanyan Pavilion.

Chu Lingyao turned around and left, Rouxi said in her ear: "Concubine, the prince is here"

Before he finished speaking, the eunuch's throaty shout suddenly came from behind.

"Concubine Chu, please stay!"

Chu Lingyao looked back and saw that it was Xie Huaiyu's personal eunuch.

What does it seem to be called Maocai?
Maocai rushed over and said, "Concubine Chu, when I saw it was you, His Highness the Crown Prince asked his servants to welcome you in."

Rouxi was shocked and raised her eyelids.

When she followed Shen Jingli before, Shen Jingli came to see the prince many times, but the prince didn't say anything when he didn't see him. The prince's personal father-in-law even told him that the prince didn't see anyone when he had nothing to do.

It seems that there is a way out for her to follow Chu Lingyao. Although Chu Lingyao's status is not as high as Shen Jingli's, this is the palace and what she wants is favor.

Rouxi secretly vowed to catch Chu Lingyao tightly!
