Eunuchs have come here and urged them to come. Tao Jin wiped away the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "That's simple, I'll fight!"

Although Le'er is very clear about the tricks in the palace, it still depends on Tao Jin when he actually cooks.

Now that we have to make the dishes in Tao Jin’s heart carefully, the time is far from enough. Tao Jinxin made up his mind and added some salt to the tofu, then put the loach in it with water.

This is a dish from Tao Jin's hometown, which is something that children are willing to eat. Tao Jin used to catch loaches by the river when he was young, and his grandmother also cooked them for him. Now he relies on such dishes to gain his life. He feels that he is too ridiculous, but now there is no other way.

I carefully washed the loach, put it together with the tofu, put it in a Jin pot to steam it, and sprinkled some seasonings that Tao Jin had himself.

The eunuch waiting at the door to deliver the dishes was already a little anxious, but because of Le'er, she didn't dare to urge her, so she could only look up to see when Tao Jin's dish would come out. Tao Jin and the others were closed from the beginning. Although they could see a little bit from the crack in the high door, they could see clearly.

The eunuch waited for about a quarter of an hour, and the door was pushed open with a "creak" sound. Tao Jin walked out of the inside with a large porcelain bowl with a deep red glaze in his hand.

The porcelain bowl was covered with a lid of the same color. Although the eunuch was curious, he could not see what was inside. He just took a few glances and took the bowl from Tao Jin's hand, took Le'er and Tao Jin and his party to the lively banquet palace.

This banquet was to send New Year's greetings to pray for the smooth flow of the country in the year, so it was held very grandly.

During the day, officials led by the emperor need to worship the heaven and ancestors. At night, they need to prepare a night banquet to celebrate the success of the year.

The entire palace was decorated with lights, and even the lotus pond in the imperial garden had no lotus flowers at this time, and it was decorated with flowers.

Tao Jin had never seen such a scene before, so it was dazzling. While looking at it, Tao Jin sighed in his heart, and didn't know if there was still a chance to see such a scene after today.

Fortunately, this small kitchen was not far from the palace where the banquet was held. After passing by several palace gates, he arrived. Listening to the sound of bamboo, Tao Jin picked up his heart again.

Life and death are here, but I don’t know what the ending will be like this time.

The eunuch holding the vegetables walked to the palace gate and lowered his head slightly. There was a eunuch there pulling a long voice and shouting: "Tao Jin, a merchant from Chang'an City, offered vegetables!"

This made Li Yuanji's fuss, and now the bet between Tao Jin and Li Yuanji is considered a major event in Chang'an. Now this has reached Li Yuan's ears again, which has brought enough political color to this farce.

Because now, it is no longer a simple matter of Tao Jin offering vegetables, it is the secret struggle between the two princes, and even the wind in the court.

A eunuch here led Tao Jin slowly into the palace gate. Tao Jin lowered his head all the way, and he didn't dare to look around. He just felt that the surroundings were bright, and it turned out to be as bright as daytime.

According to the eunuch's words, he knelt down and greeted him. Although he had asked him before, he was just outside the hall, but he had never seen Li Yuan's face before and was taken to cook. Now, the emperor was sitting high above, and Tao Jin didn't do much, and his hands were sweating.

When Yili saw Li, Tao Jin did not dare to raise his head until Li Yuan said, "Rise your head!" and then slowly raised his head.

I saw a man of medium figure sitting high on the tall dragon throne. Although his appearance was average, his majesty was incomparable to princes such as Li Yuanji.

On the other hand, a eunuch brought the bowl of vegetables over. Empress Lin leaned against Li Yuan's lower head and smiled and said, "I heard that Tao Jin is also a good cook among the people. I don't know if this can be compared with the imperial chef?" As she said that, she took the bowl from the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen this rare thing for a long time. Can I please feast my eyes first?" Empress Lin is very young and has only a pretty face, but her words are like a soft and gentle voice unique to a woman from Jiangnan.

Queen Dou, who was sitting beside Li Yuan, looked sharp-eyed and looked at Empress Lin without saying a word, but her face was filled with displeasure.

"Just with your hand, I want to take a look!" Li Yuan smiled at the obedient Empress Lin in front of him, and even his hand was rubbing on Empress Lin's hand for a moment.

Tao Jin did not dare to look directly at the Empress, but also looked at the situation in front of him for 70% or 80%. Although Empress Lin was speaking to Li Yuan, her eyes were aimed at Empress Dou several times.

"Oh, why is this thing?" As the bowl was untied, Empress Lin screamed. Li Yuan was not curious at first, but couldn't help but come over. He saw that the bowl was filled with a bowl of white and tender tofu. This tofu was originally vulgar food for the royal family, and it was hard to eat. However, Li Yuan was also a person who had fought on the battlefield and had suffered some hardships. Naturally, he had seen this tofu. Seeing that there was a piece of tofu in the bowl, he couldn't help but his eyebrows and eyes stood up and shouted: "Why, what you offered to me is such a vulgar thing?"

Tao Jin tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart and forced himself to smile calmly: "Although this tofu is vulgar, it has a world of things inside!"

When Li Yuan heard this, he slightly stopped his anger, but his eyes became more and more cold and cold, saying, "If you don't explain it clearly, then I will cure you for deceiving the king!"

Tao Jin knew that Li Yuan was telling himself clearly that as long as he couldn't explain it, he would die. Tao Jin lowered his head and said, "Please separate the tofu!"

As soon as Tao Jin finished speaking, a eunuch there was holding chopsticks and separated the tofu bit by bit according to what Tao Jin said. A strange fragrance drifted into the air. Li Yuan smelled the scent of the fragrance, and then saw the loaches sitting in the center of the tofu, the flesh was white and tender, and accompanied the tofu like white jade, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "How did you think of it?"

The fragrance was as tempting as if it was a beauty wearing a veil, which made Li Yuan unable to help but raise the chopsticks himself. On the other side, Empress Lin smiled and said, "Master, have you not tried the food yet?"

A glimmer flashed through Li Jiancheng's eyes. One of the eunuchs came over here, took the silver chopsticks and tried it carefully, and then tasted a few more pieces. After a while, there was no movement. Li Yuan moved the chopsticks. Li Jiancheng's face changed slightly, and his eyes stared straight at Li Yuan's direction.

Li Yuan didn't stop when he moved his chopsticks. He let out a sigh of satisfaction after a long time. He looked at Queen Dou who had been watching him on the side and said, "This is not bad, you don't have to worry about me in the future!"

Queen Dou looked at the bowl and said, "I think it's a good idea and it's worth a reward! I heard that this child was discovered by Shimin, so don't forget Shimin!"

After hearing this, Tao Jin felt relieved a little, but he was even more curious about Empress Dou. Is this from Li Shimin's party? But Tao Jin remembered that Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others were all the same mothers, so why would this mother be more favorable to one and the other!

Li Yuan did not respond to Queen Dou's stubbornness, but looked at Tao Jin with interest and said, "This dish is delicious and not greasy, but it is a great thing! I heard that you made a bet with King Qi this time. What is this bet?"

Maybe it was because of the food, but Li Yuan's attitude improved a lot, and even if he spoke, it became softer. Tao Jin hurriedly lowered his head and told Li Yuanji about the bets he had with him one by one.

The Li Yuan clan has barbarian blood. Although he is not disgusted with the affairs of this aristocratic family, he also feels that there are many disadvantages. He actually asked Tao Jin: "Then are you still from the Tao family?"

Tao Jin smiled bitterly and replied, "Tao Jin had been driven out of the mansion by the second wife and several elders of the clan, except for the name!" Tao Jin said this, and it was a bit sad and a little sad. The ministers were having a banquet because the emperor spoke quietly. After hearing Tao Jin's words, some people started to whisper.

But this was in the palace. However, these people were talking, but they didn't dare to make loud noises. Only Cheng Yaojin shouted in a loud voice: "Isn't this bullying?" Cheng Yaojin was drinking some wine, saying anything, and doing anything, so he was fearless.

Although Li Yuan was dissatisfied with Cheng Yaojin's behavior, he recognized his words in his heart, so he smiled and said, "According to your bet, I will give you a grace. From today on, you will be the head of the Tao family and the patriarch of the Tao family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Li Yuanji looked at Tao Jin with a bad look, but his face looked at Li Yuan slowly and said, "Father, wise, I originally wanted to reconcile the conflicts with their brothers, but it saved a lot of trouble at this time!"

Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanji deeply, but said with a heavy face: "There is no chaos in this old age!" It seems to be Tao Jin, but it seems to be implicit.

Tao Jin knew that he was lucky today, so he escaped another disaster, but he was a little upset about the imperial edict issued by Li Yuan.

Because of Li Yuan's imperial edict, it means that his free days have passed, and he has to continue fighting with the people in the Tao Mansion. But his identity is different at this time. I don't know what the situation will be like when we meet again.
