The imperial concubine has been flipped again

Chapter 886 There is a gap with the actual age
"Slave Zhou Song, pay homage to the imperial concubine!"

As soon as the man entered the door, he bowed his hands respectfully and saluted Su Xi.

However, Su Xi didn't look away from him for a long time.

She originally thought that the person who appeared in front of her should be about fifty years old, with a slightly fat body and a medium build.

After all, he was someone who served the late emperor, and the late emperor had already passed away, and the new emperor Ling Juncheng had been on the throne for about ten years. Based on this number of years, this person must be at least forty years old.

But the person in front of him was only about the same age as Ling Juncheng.

I saw him with tall black hair, fair complexion, deep eyes inlaid under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and thin lips gently pursed. He looked like a very gentle and jade-like person.

Su Xi was dumbfounded.

Didn't it mean that when Ling Juncheng was still very young, this cook had been working in the imperial dining room?
How old was he then?
"My lady, what's the matter with you? Zhou Yuchu is still waiting for you to speak."

Seeing that Su Xi couldn't recover for a long time, Maisui gently reminded her.

Su Xi then withdrew her gaze.

"Zhou Song, your cooking skills are very good. The food you cook is the best food I have ever eaten."

She hooked the corners of her lips, revealing a just-right smile.

"As long as the imperial concubine likes it, she can order whatever she wants to eat, and the slave will prepare it meticulously."

Zhou Song looked very respectful, speaking in a soft tone, as gentle as the rising sun.

Su Xi took a sip of tea with a teacup.

Since she came to Beiling, she has seen many beautiful men, but this is really the first time for a handsome and approachable handsome man like Zhou Song.

Her first impression of him was good.

"You should have started learning cooking at a very young age, right?"

It's not easy to ask someone's age directly, she can only interview from the side.

I don't know if his age is really young, or is it because of proper maintenance?

Maybe, he is much older than her calculated actual age. If he is well maintained, then she will learn more from him.

It is not impossible to adjust food to age. He is very good at cooking medicinal porridge.

"The servant is from a family of chefs. Three generations of the Zhou family have worked in the imperial dining room, so they have been nurtured since childhood."

Zhou Song clapped his hands in response.

Su Xi nodded slightly.

It turned out that he came from a family of chefs, no wonder his cooking skills are so good.

There are quite a few cooks in the imperial dining room, there are dozens of them, Ling Juncheng specially arranged him to come to her Qingle Palace, he is naturally the most skilled cook among the many cooks.

"So, when did you enter the imperial dining room?"

Su Xi still wanted to know how old he was.

She still plans to ask him for the secret recipe of maintenance.

A woman's face is fleeting, if she can slow it down, she slows down. Although she doesn't like to dress herself up, she is also afraid of getting old.

"When the slave was eight years old, he participated in a culinary competition held in the palace. Later, the slave was favored by the late emperor, and the late emperor arranged for the slave to enter the imperial dining room."

Zhou Song's unhurried tone fell lightly.

Su Xi was deeply shocked in her heart.

Entered the Imperial Dining Room at the age of eight!
It was selected by the first emperor himself, and even the assessment was omitted.

In that case, he should be about the same age as Ling Juncheng.

"Zhou Yuchu is really young and promising!" Su Xi sighed, "I really wronged you to come to Qingyue Palace from the imperial dining room."

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me, and I will ask the emperor to transfer you to the imperial dining room."
