A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

Chapter 755 Cooking for the Old Emperor

Yunluo even used all her modern ideas, and her business was the best on the street.

However good things are, Yunluo is also a little worried.

After all, she was new to the area. If her restaurant became popular, wouldn't other restaurants suffer? It was normal to be resented, but she had no one to rely on. So she was considering whether she should keep a low profile.

But he was also eager for a large sum of money, and for a time he was caught in a dilemma.

"Xiao Luo, a big guest has arrived." Aunt Zhang knocked on the door and came in, asking Yun Luo to relay what Uncle Zhang had told him: "Your Uncle Zhang said that the man has an extraordinary bearing, and he seems to be from the palace. He must be a high-ranking official, and he's here specifically for you. You probably won't be able to refuse him today."

官?

Yunluo's eyes lit up; wasn't that exactly what she needed?

She said she understood, changed her clothes, covered her face with a veil so that her appearance was unrecognizable, and then went out.

The distinguished guest was in a side room on the second floor. Aunt Zhang went with him. When Yunluo saw the person sitting inside, she instantly understood why Uncle Zhang said he came from the palace.

That typical orchid-like finger gesture, and that clean-shaven chin—he looks like a eunuch.

If he wasn't eating there by himself, then he was doing something for his master.

If it's one's own master, then it's...

However, he was dressed very plainly, so Yunlu just assumed he was an ignorant country woman and laughed, "Sir, is it that the food at the restaurant doesn't suit your taste?"

The man gently wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "It suits my taste very well. Your dishes are excellent. It just so happens that my master has not had a good appetite these past few days and nothing tastes good. Fortunately, the people at your restaurant said that you came up with these dishes yourself. So, I've come to invite you back with me. Here is one hundred taels of silver. If you do a good job, there will be an additional reward."

The middle-aged man glanced at Yun Luo's stomach and frowned. "Does your restaurant have anyone with the same skills as you?"

It seems she's about to enter the palace.

If one were to enter the palace, wouldn't it be easier to understand the Qin family's case?

Moreover, Brother Qin said that he wanted to see Prince Chen. Only by seeing Prince Chen could the Marquis's case be overturned. Only by entering the palace could he have the opportunity to see him.

She said, "Yes, he does, but he hasn't learned everything. How about this, I'll call him over and have him come with me. What do you think, sir?"

"Alright, let's call them over then."

Yunluo asked the waiter to take good care of her and went out with Aunt Zhang.

As soon as they went downstairs, they saw Qin Zheng and Uncle Zhang waiting below. They glanced at each other and then went back to the house in the backyard.

"There's no mistake, that person should be from the palace. But I've heard that it's not easy to make money in the palace. One wrong move and you could lose your head."

"If it's just about cooking, I'm confident. But if Brother Qin and I go in together..."

"Then the only option is to disguise myself."

After discussing it, Qin Zheng disguised himself and changed his clothes. His whole demeanor changed, and Yun Luo was very satisfied. The two of them went upstairs with their father-in-law.

Once inside the carriage, the eunuch revealed that they were going to the palace. Yun Luo, who was new to the capital and hadn't seen much of the world, was taken aback.

The eunuch was indeed very satisfied. "Don't worry too much. As long as you cook well and the Emperor is satisfied, you will be rewarded handsomely."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang."

"By the way, what are your names again?"

"Xiaoyun."

"Qin Shisan".

Qin?

The eunuch looked up and frowned. "In the palace, especially in front of the Emperor, let alone your surname Qin, the Emperor is most averse to the word Qin."

Qin Zheng sneered inwardly. Only those who have done too many bad things are wary. He remained outwardly calm. "Then, sir, if the Emperor asks..."

"Let's make one up."

Anyway, they're just harmless people.

The couple agreed.

After giving his instructions, Eunuch Wang naturally refused to share a carriage with the couple and made them change to another carriage. There were people outside the carriage, so it wasn't appropriate to talk. It wasn't until they entered the palace and were given a room to wait that the couple finally had a chance to speak.

“Xiao Luo, this time it is extremely dangerous. If my identity is exposed, it may implicate you. I promised to take you into the palace with me, and you also promised me that if there is any danger, you must sever all ties with me.”

“Brother Qin, I believe you. Besides, we still have Prince Chen. Let’s split up and find her before the Emperor eats our food.”

"kindness."

Qin Zheng went out to inquire for a while and learned that the old emperor had a habit of taking a nap every day, which would last for an hour. Moreover, he never ate anything at noon, so this meal would have to wait until evening.

Before long, someone led the two to the imperial kitchen. There were many people waiting in the imperial kitchen. Yun Luo only said that the dishes were her own exclusive recipes and that no outsiders could be present. So the people in the imperial kitchen left, leaving only a few to help out.

As for Qin Zheng, he could come and go under the guise of selecting dishes, which was good for gathering information.

After Qin Zheng left for a while, Yun Luo first cooked a clay pot rice. At first, the palace maids who were washing vegetables looked down on the outsiders, especially since she was pregnant. They thought she couldn't compare to the imperial chefs. But they didn't expect that the food she cooked would be so delicious.

"Dear sisters, thank you all for your help. This is something I made for you all. I'm just offering it to you, so please don't mind."

"Your cooking skills are quite good."

Several palace maids each had a bowl and began to eat.

While eating, Yunluo also inquired about the news.

It concerns the emperor, the empress, and of course, the Prince Chen.

Speaking of Prince Chen, Yun Luo didn't even need to ask; these palace maids were like tigers that hadn't eaten for years seeing meat.

They say Prince Chen is handsome, gentle, has a good personality, and is never arrogant.

Yunluo's head was spinning from listening. Oh, here's the important part: Prince Chen really is in the palace.

Over there, Qin Zheng followed the path, avoiding all the guards, and entered a pavilion where a figure stood against the wind.

"who!"

His guards were the first to notice.

Qin Zheng had deliberately revealed his whereabouts, and now the eldest son's family came out and stood in front of the two of them.

"Which palace guard are you from? Why are you acting so suspiciously?"

Qin Zheng remained silent, slowly removing his mask. The man in purple robes was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. Then, he hurriedly jumped down, his figure still somewhat unsteady. When he was almost in front of Qin Zheng, he shook his head, seemingly afraid to go even halfway.

"How many times have I dreamt of parting from you, Xiao Zheng, is it really you?"

So many years have passed, and he's sent people to search for so long...

Qin Zheng said calmly, "Your Highness!"

"Xiao Zheng!"

"Young Master Marquis?"

The guard behind Prince Chen had tears in his eyes, and his sword almost fell from his hand. The nostalgia in his eyes, the trials and tribulations he had experienced over the years, and his longing were all clearly revealed at this moment.

The guard strode over, knelt on one knee, and the burly man was in tears. "Young Marquis, is it really you? Am I dreaming?"
