Chapter 197: Exotic Fragrance

When the hood was untied and the angular, charming and cold face appeared, the white eyes not only did not become her shortcomings, but also added her to the exotic temperament rare in the world, making everyone who saw her feel like they fell into the wind, flowers, snow and moon, and could not extricate themselves.

It was not just Duan Lang, but Huo Qing, who arrived later, finally understood Duan Lang's words when he saw Bai Zhirui. It turned out that there were really women in this world who were independent, lonely and arrogant, and not in the world! Huo Qing was stunned. He had never seen too many women in his life, but he had seen women with very different temperaments. In the past, Chu Hanqian was like this, Ling Feiyan was like this, and Bai Zhirui in front of him was even more like this.

"Zhirui!"

Duan Lang's shout made Bai Zhirui turn her head. After losing her vision, she was compensated by God. Her hearing was beyond the reach of ordinary people. What was even more surprising was that her memory and judgment were equally astonishing.

"Duan Lang, it's you! So you are here too! It seems that my sister didn't lie to me!"

Bai Zhirui smiled and walked towards Duan Lang. Wan Qianqian was not decorated at all, and was tied with a white belt. When he walked with the wind, the cloak was raised, and his figure was fully revealed. As Bai Zhirui walked in quickly, Huo Qing saw her more clearly, especially the pair of white pupils.

Duan Lang felt that he was in a dream until now, and that Bai Zhirui's performance could no longer be described as "surprise". Seeing her approaching him, Duan Lang could hardly bear the thunder in his heart. The thunder reached the peak when Bai Zhirui held his hand, Duan Lang only felt that his heart was about to burst out in his mouth.

"Duan Lang, I didn't expect we could meet again!"

Duan Lang and Huo Qing both smelled the fragrance that drifted from Bai Zhirui. This was not the fragrance of rouge powder used by ordinary women, but the faint herbal fragrance that was stained with herbs all year round. It was fresh and natural, and refreshing.

"Yes, I...I'm stationed in Fengbo City...I wasn't here either."

Duan Lang had no clue, but he spoke very seriously and bite every word very seriously. He had to show his importance to Bai Zhirui.

"Zhirui, why...why are you here?"

"I'm here to deliver medicine to you!"

"ah?"

"But the signing person cannot be you, I have to find the general!"

When Yingcairen met Emperor Liang again, he was completely different from that of more than ten days ago. Now Emperor Liang has gray hair, dull eyes, and bloodless expression. He always walks with Eunuch Cui. Walking from outside the Qiluo Courtyard to the palace, it is usually only a dozen steps away, but this time, Emperor Liang has a very difficult journey.

Yingcai helped Emperor Liang sit down, immediately lit incense, and gave him a cup of tea. Emperor Liang's face improved after drinking it in one breath.

"Eunuch Cui, what's wrong with the emperor these days?"

"The emperor felt depressed after returning to the palace last time. Even though Emperor Jingjia was carefully recuperating, he still couldn't completely recover from the grief of father and son fighting each other."

Eunuch Cui lowered his head and said, then bowed and left the bedroom, leaving only a complex look for Yingcairen. Yingcai immediately ordered the servants to prepare ingredients, put one hand on Emperor Liang's wrist and the other hand on Emperor Liang's shoulder, so that she could not see what she wanted to do from outside the palace.

After the examination of the pulse, Yingcairen said to Emperor Liang: "Emperor, Your Highness, Prince Ling, has made you sad. Fortunately, it did not cause chaos in the country, which is also a blessing for the people. Emperor, you must take good care of your health, come to the court as soon as possible, and regain power."

"I am really tired. Since the celebration, this feeling of fatigue has come every day. I am drowsy during the day, but I can't fall asleep at night. Ruoyuan, the imperial doctors have come one after another, but it has not been effective until now. I still believe you have a solution!"

"Emperor, the illness is like getting a wire drawn. How can it work in a few days? The imperial doctors are among the top doctors in Daliang. They know the emperor's body best. The prescriptions they prescribe must be wrong. The emperor should be patient and take them for a while."

"The only thing I can believe in this huge harem is you and the Imperial Concubine. I eat dishes made by the chefs of Qingshan Academy every day at the Imperial Concubine. Although the taste is very good, I still miss your skills after eating too much."

"This is not a difficult task. What the emperor wants to eat, I will make it for the emperor."

"I like everything you do. I'm really a little hungry. I'll sleep for a while. You'll call me after you're done."

"Your Majesty wait."

Yingcai put more soft cushions on the recliner, and when he walked out of the bedroom, he met many innocent faces standing in the yard.

"What are you?"

"Report to the Empress, the servants have been sent to the imperial front to serve the emperor."

"So that's it, thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."

When Yingcairen spent some energy and brought various exquisite dishes to Emperor Liang, Emperor Liang opened his sleepy eyes and did not show his previous expectation in the face of these delicacies.

Yingcai picked up a plate of side dishes and handed them to Emperor Liang, saying, "Your Majesty, this is a new dish I have learned from the concubine's sister. You must try it."

Emperor Liang smiled and nodded with fatigue, put the dishes into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and swallowed them whole. Then Emperor Liang tried several other dishes, each dish was only tasted once, and then he put the chopsticks and stopped eating them.

"What's wrong, but it doesn't suit the emperor's taste?"

"Not that, I know your skills, but you must have prepared too quickly today and completely lost the taste of the past. I still miss the snacks from the academy chef. I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat them for a day."

"What the emperor said is that the dinner minister must prepare carefully."

"Stop busy, let's leave dinner to the imperial kitchen. I'm here with you today." Emperor Liang said as he began to show his fatigue again. "I'm a little sleepy, so you can retreat first."

If his meal was commended by the emperor and asked to eat it every day, this would be a huge good news for any imperial meal. This would be exhausting. Speaking of which, he was only responsible for part of the meals of Emperor Liang, and his request for Fat Kui was not to create new tricks every day, but Fat Kui still felt very tired. The reason is that Fat Kui was unwilling to do something he didn't like, even if the amount was not large, he would feel hard.

"Master Xu, this is the ingredients for the emperor's meal tonight, and I'll put them all for you here." An imperial chef said to Fat Kui with a smile: "The emperor's name is like eating the snacks you made. Look at what's missing from these ingredients. You say, let's go and replenish them immediately!"

As the celebrity in front of Emperor Liang, Pangkui has become the master in the imperial kitchen that no one dares to offend. Every day they have to ask Pangkui for the selection and treatment of ingredients, and the same is true today. If it were someone else, it might have been arrogant, but Pangkui looked helpless, drooping his head, and glanced at Du Shaoyin weakly.

Pangkui doesn't know how to be a human being. All his energy is in doing things and doing things perfectly. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand the worldly ways. Fortunately, Du Shaoyin is still much better than Pangkui in dealing with people. He took the initiative to take the ingredients and thanked the imperial chef: "These days are also exhausting. If you didn't check the preparation of the ingredients every day, Master Xu would not be able to make such a snack that was favored by the emperor."

"Oh, where did Master Du say? We are just cooking for the emperor, how can we compare with you two? You are the chefs appointed by the emperor. I heard that they are recommended by Yingcairen! From the tastes of the emperor over the past few days, you can know that the two masters are really first-class in their craftsmanship. In the future, I hope the two masters can teach some?"

"Sir, you are really over-reputable. How can our skills be compared with the imperial kitchen? The emperor just looks fresh and likes these days. After a long time, the emperor will naturally understand that our tricks are far from comparable to those of the imperial kitchen."

"Master Du is really a slave! Master Du, are you satisfied with these ingredients? In this way, the slave can also make some adjustments."

"That's right, that's right, let me count it, so you can also pay the job."

Du Shaoyin had already remembered all the ingredients in his mind. He memorized the amount of ingredients he needed to memorize them thoroughly, but he had always been confused about the fact that this kind of ingredients still appeared in the imperial kitchen today.

"Sir, I dare to ask if this seasoning is produced in foreign lands, and it is rarely seen in Daliang!"

Du Shaoyin refers to a powder-like spice that is blue and yellow, with a soft and delicate texture and a faint grass fragrance. This spice is never used in cooking, but since they entered the palace, they will be asked to add this spice to the dishes every day.

"Master Du really has good eyesight. This is indeed not a spice from Daliang. It is native to Nanzhao. It can increase the aroma and enhance the freshness of the dishes. This is a spice that the emperor has recently started to like. It is said to be able to stimulate appetite and sleep. Therefore, according to the requirements of the Eunuch Mansion, this spice will be prepared for the imperial kitchen every day."

"But I think you don't use it when you cook yourself?"

"Master Du is really careful! Yes, what we make is red table, fried, fried, fried, stir-fry, etc., but you two are mainly responsible for the white table. Once steamed and cooked, the effect of the spice will be fully utilized."

"I see!"

Du Shaoyin nodded as if he suddenly realized and promised to prepare dinner with all his might, so the imperial chef left with satisfaction.

"Fat Kui, get up and prepare for dinner!"

"Okay, I'll come now."

Pang Kui reluctantly reached out his hand to touch the spice, but was stopped by Du Shaoyin.
