Chapter 83
Back then, Xie Zhao set fire to the kitchen three times, but it was not for nothing, and he still made a dish.

It's just that the presentation was hard to swallow, so everyone in the Xie family refused the dish one after another.

Even Xie Zhao himself didn't have the courage to taste it, so after the dish was left out all night, it was thrown away.

At first, Xie's family didn't think much about it, but what they never expected was that a few days later, dead rats appeared in the house.

After Xie's family speculated, they seriously suspected that those dead mice had eaten the dish made by Xie Zhao before.

After all, the Xie family never wasted food, and the only thing that was thrown away in the past few days was the dish made by Xie Zhao.

Because Xie Zhao set fire to the kitchen three times and almost burned the chef, and the dishes he cooked killed some mice, Xie's family decided that Xie Zhao would never cook again.

Of course, this news still needs to be blocked, so as not to be known and make fun of Xie Zhao.

"Mother, their craftsmanship has improved, and I tasted it myself before serving it to Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, Xie Zhao suddenly felt lucky, and took a sip herself, otherwise, she would have to sit on the barrel for a long time like Zhao Jing.

Qin shook her head helplessly.

After chatting with her daughter for a while, Qin finally talked about his purpose of entering the palace.

Xie Zhao had guessed before that what mother was going to talk about was indeed the matter of Fifth Brother getting lost in the palace.

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter already knows about this matter, Xiao Meiren has deliberately reported back and forth, you go home and tell Fifth Brother, so that he can rest assured."

"Speaking of which, this time the fifth brother came back, did he talk about things outside?" Xie Zhao asked Zhao Jing and knew what Xie Jun had said.

Now she asked Qin Shi again, but she asked about something else.

"Speaking of which, it's still the same as before. He's not in a hurry about his own affairs at all, he just worries about others."

"He came back this time with the kid from the dealer. He stayed at our house for one night, and your fifth brother asked me to help him look after him!"

Speaking of this, Qin shook her head with a smile. Xie Zhao had never seen the Zhuang family's child she was talking about that day.

"The dealer's, is that Zhuang Xuan?" After thinking about it carefully, Xie Zhao remembered this person. The dealer and the Xie family are also family friends, but the dealer is not an official in the court.

Before, Zhuang Xuan came to Xie's house to play, but later I heard that an old Taoist from the dealer came to the door and took Zhuang Xuan away.

"Yes, it's him. I heard that he came back from his studies in the mountains, so he can count." Qin nodded, and when she said this, Xie Zhao couldn't help but feel agitated.

"The Zhuang family is quite famous in the capital, so why do you need your help? Besides, the Zhuang family has its own elders to take care of it, and Fifth Brother really loves to worry about it."

Although no one in the Zhuang family is an official in the court, all the dignified people in Beijing know about the Zhuang family.

Now that they heard that the heir of their family has returned, I am afraid that the matchmaker will step over the threshold.

"Fifth brother, can you tell me when you will leave?" Xie Jun is a cheerful person who can't stay idle. When he returns to Beijing to resume his job this time, he has reported everything that should be reported, and he reckons it is time to leave again.

"I didn't say that. I heard what your father said. His Majesty intends to let your fifth brother be one of the examiners for this big exam."

"Let me fifth brother?" Xie Zhao was very surprised, she hadn't heard about it from Zhao Jing.

Although Fifth Brother is very capable, he is away all year round after all. Besides, there are many senior and senior officials in Beijing.

Apart from her father, even if she had to choose Xie's family, she should also consider her eldest brother or third brother. How could it be fifth brother's turn?

"I don't know the specifics." Qin was also very strange, but even Xie Huai'an couldn't guess what His Majesty was thinking, let alone her?
Xie Zhao kept this matter in mind, thinking about what Zhao Jing meant when he came back.

Now that she entered the palace, Qin would of course stay in the palace and eat with her daughter.

At noon, Zhao Jing ordered people to give food. Before that, he had asked Xie Zhao's opinion, so the dishes given were all Qin's favorite.

The last time the Qin family entered the palace, the person who gave the vegetables appeared to be His Majesty, but in fact it was Xie Zhao, but this time, it was really His Majesty who gave the vegetables.

Since the last time she gave food, Qin Shi had a good impression of His Majesty and felt that His Majesty was very caring. Of course, she never thought that it was actually her daughter.

This time, the affection has deepened a lot, so apart from Qin's favorite dishes, there are also Xie Zhao's favorites.

Qin has always missed her daughter and worried about her situation in the palace. Although she went to the palace to see her, she was still worried.

Therefore, seeing that His Majesty cares about his daughter, so he loves Wu Wu, she is still very happy and can breathe a little bit of relief.

"Your Majesty, beauty Tao is asking to see you." It was already noon, and Zhao Jing was about to have lunch when Jiang Hai came in from outside the hall and reported back to him.

"Beauty Tao?" Zhao Jing thought for a while. It was the one who attracted the butterflies by dancing. He heard from Xie Zhao that the pastries in the palace were pretty good.

"Let her in." He ordered, and Jiang Hai withdrew from the hall and brought Tao Meiren in.

Tao Meiren held a food box in her hand, and after entering the hall, she saluted Zhao Jing.

"Get up." Glancing at her, Zhao Jing noticed that Beauty Tao was dressed differently from when he went to pay her respects, so he ordered to give Beauty Tao a seat.

"Yesterday, I heard that His Majesty was unwell. I wanted to visit you, but I was afraid of disturbing you and the Empress. Today, the concubine specially made a snack, and wanted to bring it to His Majesty to taste, and also wanted to see if His Majesty is doing well."

Putting the food box on the table, Tao Meiren sat down. She looked at Zhao Jing with a smile, and her tone was different.

"Yeah." Zhao Jingjing nodded and didn't say much. Jiang Hai, who was waiting at the side, received a signal to open the food box brought by Tao Meiren, and took out the snacks inside.

"Let's pass on the meal." After taking a look at the dim sum, Zhao Jing ordered, and after Jiang Hai tested the poison on the dim sum, the palace people put the lunch on the table.

Tao Meiren sat at the table, looking at the lunch on the table, feeling a little excited in her heart.

This was the first time she had a meal with His Majesty in the Wenhua Palace.

She thought that if His Majesty liked the dim sum she made, she could use her own dim sum to have more opportunities to dine with His Majesty in Wenhua Palace.

Or, invite His Majesty to come to her palace.

The last time I failed to serve the bed, the next time may not be so.

"Let's eat." Zhao Jing tasted the dim sum, and it tasted really good. Just like Xie Zhao said, it was something he had never tasted before.

Compared with cardamom's craftsmanship, although it is a bit inferior, it is better than the delicate mind.

Now that the people were seated and the snacks were tasted, Zhao Jing asked Tao Meiren to have a meal with her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to finish the table, and he would have to reward him later.

"Jiang Hai, have you delivered all the dishes I ordered to be delivered to Fengming Palace?"

Beauty Tao was complacent, when she heard His Majesty's voice asking Jiang Hai, subconsciously, she bit her lip.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have sent them over." Jiang Hai quickly responded, Zhao Jing nodded and began to enjoy lunch.

 Jiageng, six thousand words, don’t forget to vote for recommendation~
  Mice: This dish...is poisonous!
  Zhao Jing: Thank you Zhao Zhao for not killing me.

  Mrs. Hou Qin: The son-in-law is really good.
