The county owner is happy, and the scenery is remarried

Chapter 41

Xiao Yuzhuo happily took several of his maids and went to Xiao's house.

The Xiao family was not being polite to her, they really told her to go to the big kitchen, where the fresh vegetables from Zhuangzi piled up into a hill.

The cooks and cooks in the study were waiting, and the housekeeper and cook in the kitchen brought the food bills, and if she wanted anything, a literate little girl would take notes as soon as she opened her mouth.

After everything was arranged properly, she was led to meet the eldest princess.

"The Xiao family's birthday banquet has no intentions, so you don't need to worry about it. Your natal family is strong, so your waist can be strong." Princess Ping stepped back, took her hand and told her.

No wonder the Xiao family attached so much importance to it. It turned out that it was not just ordinary human relations.

I'm afraid they want to take advantage of this birthday banquet to consolidate the Xiao family's position in the imperial court and in Chang'an's aristocratic circle.

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Don't worry, Ma'am, although I can't help you with anything else, I can still do it without any trouble in diet."

The princess smiled slightly, "Why are you being modest in front of A Niang?"

Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback.

"After the burning banquet, even the Holy Majesty was full of praise for you. Do you think the Xiao family didn't benefit from it?" The princess asked with a smile.

"Isn't it just a meal?" Xiao Yuzhuo was puzzled.

The Eldest Princess shook her head, "Once the Holy Majesty speaks, it's not as simple as a meal. Everyone will act based on the attitude of the Holy Majesty. The pressure on the Xiao family has been reduced a lot recently."

Xiao Yuzhuo opened his mouth and let out an ooh, a seemingly inconspicuous matter, so there is still this implicated in the dark?

It's no wonder that A Niang repeatedly reminded the burner banquet to be more cautious and more cautious.

Knowing these many reasons, Xiao Yuzhuo paid more attention to the Xiao family's birthday banquet.

Early the next morning, she came to the big kitchen in person, regardless of the smell of oily smoke and the unbearable heat, she stared at the kitchen in person.

Noon ago, it was still early, and guests had already arrived one after another.

Some guests joked that they came here for the banquet at Xiao's house after they didn't know the taste of meat for many days after the Shaowei banquet.It was determined that Xiao Yuzhuo's ability to hold the Shaowei banquet so beautifully at the beginning came from the Xiao family's private recipe that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

It is said that Chang'an people are delicious, and this seems to be true.

Xiao Yuzhuo was in the kitchen, even though he didn't have to cook the fire, he was sweating profusely.

The cook winked, and quickly brought a white jade tea bowl, "The princess has worked hard, drink some tea soup to moisten your throat."

Xiao Yuzhuo took the tea bowl, the white jade was translucent and beautiful, reflecting the fire in the stove, adding a layer of warmth, the tea soup in the jade bowl was even clearer, with a lingering fragrance of tea.Just smelling it alone will make you feel relaxed and happy.

She picked up the bowl and was about to bring it to her lips.

Ju Xiang, who was standing beside her, seemed to have lost her footing, she took a sudden step forward and was pushing her elbow.

"Clatter—" with a sound, the white jade bowl fell to the ground and shattered into several petals.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and turned around, but saw Juxiang staring at the tea soup on the ground with a solemn expression.

She was startled, and followed Ju Xiang's line of sight to the ground.

On the ground where the tea soup was splashed, some fine bubbles rose.

Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes fell on the cook who was serving tea.

The cook was at a loss, "What, what? This tea?"

"Where did this tea come from?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a deep voice.

The cook suddenly broke out in sweat, "Yes... the lady sent someone to send it, saying that the princess has worked hard..."

The uncle has no reason to harm her, since the uncle sent it, there should be traces to follow.

"Just now the tea soup was too hot, so I set it aside to cool for a while." The cook said again.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly, "Who has touched this tea soup?"

"No, no one has been close," the cook was nervous, "The old slave has been watching."

"Just now there was an unfamiliar maid who got lost and turned to the kitchen." The little girl who was burning the fire suddenly raised her ashen face and said crisply.

"Princess." Ju Xiang's face was solemn.

"Check all the food carefully, don't be careless." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on the inside and outside of the kitchen, and anyone who is not familiar with it, don't get close!"

If you just want to harm her, that's fine, but if you want to attack the Xiao family's birthday banquet, it will be even more troublesome!

Ju Xiang checked the dishes one by one, and there was nothing unusual. The people in the kitchen were relieved.

The white jade bowl that was broken on the ground has been swept away, and a tea stain on the ground has also been dried.

Xiao Yuzhuo clenched his fingertips, and it seemed that he was aiming at her again.Who is it?

It's almost time to start the meal, and everything in the kitchen is ready, just waiting for the meal to start.

After everything was arranged properly, Xiao Yuzhuo got out of the kitchen, and it was time for her to go to the hall to show her face.

"The eldest lady has prepared the wing room, the Princess please." The servant girl led the way.

She was covered in oily smoke, so she was naturally not good at meeting guests.Go to the wing room to change clothes and freshen up before going to the hall.

When it came to the tea in the kitchen, Xiao Yuzhuo's spirit tensed up, and he brought the three maids with him.

After closing the door, Mei Xiang changed her clothes, but suddenly there was a "whoosh".

A cold arrow shot through the window.

The tip of the arrow pointed directly at Xiao Yuzhuo!
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't have time to react when he heard the sound, he just felt a chill in his heart.

Zhuxiang jumped up and waved her long arm.

Kankan grasped the tail of the arrow.

The tip of the arrow trembled, and it was only an inch away from Xiao Yuzhuo's face!
