Chapter 734 Determined to Enter the Palace (1)
Shao Yanran was taken aback, because she asked, "Where did my sister start talking about this?"

Thinking about it, Yan Wenzhen was also venting her anger, and hurriedly got up to salute: "Wenzhen is reckless, please forgive me, miss."

Shao Yanran hurriedly took Yan Wenzhen's hand, and sighed: "Oh, why do you have to be so polite, and I'm not angry with you. You just tell me what happened to you and my brother?"

Yan Wenzhen was naturally unable to speak, but Shao Yanran asked anxiously, and Dou Kou couldn't help but interjected: "Miss doesn't know, the young master almost ate our girl, it's not surprising that our girl compares herself to fish. .”

"Huh?" Shao Yanran's eyes widened in surprise, "I've never heard of my brother's habit of cannibalism."

Cardamom pouted and said: "Young lady doesn't believe it, just look at our girl's shoulder, the tooth marks are so deep...it's still dripping with blood."

Yan Wenzhen felt ashamed for a while, because she scolded Dou Kou: "I know you're talking nonsense! Why don't you go out?!"

"Isn't it?" Shao Yanran said, and came forward to pick off Yan Wenzhen's clothes.

Yan Wenzhen hurriedly dodged, and shouted in a low voice: "Girl, don't make trouble!"

Shao Yanran looked at her shy face like Feixia, understood for a moment, then covered her mouth and giggled.Yan Wenzhen was so embarrassed by the laughter, but fortunately she turned her back to Shao Yanran and lay down, taking a kerchief to cover her face.

"Okay, okay! The two of you are really annoying! You are so awkward when you are clearly in love with each other, making me, a bystander, anxious to watch." Shao Yanran pushed Yan Wenzhen, "Sister Yan, don't Hidden, there are some things you can't hide from."

"But if I don't hide, what can I do?" Yan Wenzhen sighed quietly.

If the grandfather was alive and the Yan family was still there, even if she was just a merchant's daughter, she might be able to compete with the family's wealth.But now that I am alone and have no place to settle down, how can I dare to hope for the position of the young wife of the general's mansion?

She is not afraid of being broken into pieces, but she is afraid that she will not be able to get broken into pieces, and end up being a joke for the rest of her life—no, even being a joke is a luxury. Those generals and nobles will never give an extra look or waste an extra mouthful of spit for a cook.

In their eyes, he is a humble person like an ant.

"Sister Yan, what is the one thing you most want to do now?" Shao Yanran asked.

"What do you want to do most?" Yan Wenzhen considered this question seriously, and replied after a while: "What I want to do most is to perfect our Yan family's menu as soon as possible."

"This?" Shao Yanran leaned on the pillow and looked at the roof, sighing in a low voice, "I don't seem to be able to help you with this!"

"You've helped me a lot. If it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't have such a comfortable environment where I could concentrate on sorting out my recipes every day." Yan Wenzhen smiled.

"No." Shao Yanran suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I thought of a better place."

"Where?" Yan Wenzhen asked in surprise.

"The Imperial Palace." Shao Yanran said with an excited smile, "The empress likes delicious food the most. You have punished Manager Wu, now Manager Wu doesn't dare to use the queen's banner to search for good cooks and cooks to fill his own pockets, but... your cooking skills will definitely be praised by the queen .”

"How honorable the empress is, I'm afraid I can't handle it with my little skill." Yan Wenzhen said this, but his heart had already begun to loosen.Her ancestors used to be imperial chefs in the palace. The Yan family's dishes are exquisitely crafted and belong to the line of court dishes, and the ingredients in this world are the most complete and exquisite in the palace. She wants to make Yan's dishes well and cook them in the palace. Royal chef is indeed a shortcut.

The most important thing is that she can occupy a place in this world with her own ability, instead of living under the fence of this general's mansion.

"Why do you want to belittle yourself? To tell you the truth, the empress also liked your craftsmanship before she entered the palace. Otherwise, why would Han Jun defend you so much?" Shao Yanran reminded, "Don't forget, the eldest princess loves you so much." Your grandfather's craftsmanship is also very appreciated."

Thinking of the past, Shao Yanran gained a bit of confidence even though she was perplexed, she nodded and said, "Young lady is right."

"Okay! I hope my brother won't blame me for being troublesome." Shao Yanran said, sat up and wanted to leave.

"Where is the girl going?" Yan Wenzhen hurriedly asked to stay, "I got up early and stewed ginkgo porridge in a small stove. It's time for lunch. Why don't you stay and eat before leaving?"

Shao Yanran thought about her mother's unhappiness in the past few days, and luckily no food cooked by Yan Wenzhen was served at the dinner table, so she nodded and sighed: "Not to mention, I don't even know what it's like to eat if I haven't eaten your food for two days. You said that if you really enter the palace in the future, what will I do!"

"The imperial palace is like a sky tower to us people, but it is not unattainable to you. Even if you can't come and go freely, if you want to come to the palace to greet the empress during the holidays, it is not impossible for us to see it. Besides , it’s not certain whether you can go in or not.” Yan Wenzhen said hastily.

"Why can't you enter? You have no confidence in me." Shao Yanran smiled.

"I dare not." Yan Wenzhen also smiled and shook her head.

Seeing that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shao Yanran, who hadn't seen anyone for a few days, suddenly came to Xiyuan again, and when she entered, she looked for Yan Wenzhen.

It happened that Shao Juncong was at home, and when he saw his sister coming, he ignored him and went to the west wing, so he ordered the book boy: "Ask someone to make two bowls of autumn tea they brought the day before yesterday and send them to the west wing."

After hearing this, the book boy hurriedly agreed to go out, and came back in a while to report.Shao Juncong asked again: "What are the two of them talking about?"

"The girl said she wanted to eat brown sugar and rose cakes, so I asked Miss Yan to make it." Shutong replied.

"En." Shao Juncong didn't reason after hearing this.These days, my mother doesn't allow Yan Wenzhen's dishes to be served on the table, so it's not uncommon for Yanran to come here to eat.

However, Shao Yanran didn't stay here for long. After Yan Wenzhen's brown sugar rose shortbread was ready, she only had time to eat two shortbread, put the rest into a food box, and left in a hurry.Shao Juncong waited for a long time but still didn't get his sister and delicious food, so he came to the west wing to have a look, only to find that Yan Wenzhen had already written her recipe under the window.There seemed to be a hint of sweet rose fragrance in the air, but there was no good food at all.

"Where is Yan Ran? Gone?" Shao Juncong asked.

Yan Wenzhen looked up and saw Shao Juncong, she quickly put down her pen and got up to salute: "Young General, the girl has something to do, so let's go first."

"Why are you in such a hurry? You don't even see me when you come here." Shao Juncong asked.

"It is said... that I am in a hurry to go to Ninghou's mansion." Yan Wenzhen did not dare to tell Shao Juncong that she was going to enter the palace. Shao Yanran told her that she was hiding it from her brother. If her brother knew about this, he would definitely have to angry.
