120 The Strange Cook
Jiang Yun smiled and nodded, "Yes, thank you, mother."
Seeing that Jiang Yun and the others were enjoying their meal, Fu Xuanyu's eyes turned to the plate of snacks next to him.
The shape of each piece of dessert is as lifelike as a flower, and judging from the appearance alone, it is comparable to those desserts in the palace.
Thinking that Jiang Yun liked these snacks, he immediately reached out and picked up a piece to taste.
The taste seems to be better than the snacks in the palace, no wonder Jiang Yun likes it.
Fu Xuanyu likes it too.
However, ordinary chefs probably cannot make this kind of dessert.
He thought about it and said with a smile: "This dessert is not only beautiful, but also tastes as good as the dessert made by the royal chef! I wonder if I can reward the chef who made this dessert in person today."
Lin Wanyi covered her lips and chuckled, "It is her blessing to be rewarded in person by the prince."
After she finished speaking, she instructed Manjushri beside her, "Manjushri, go and call Cook Liu over."
This was a job that required reward, so Agate was naturally happy to do it.
She replied in a high-pitched voice, "Hey! I'll go call her right away."
After saying that, she left quickly.
After a while, Chef Liu followed Agate over.
When Agate brought his people to the front, he remembered that he had forgotten to teach the cook the rules.
The person she is meeting this time is the prince. It would be bad if Cook Liu does not behave properly and offends the prince.
Thinking of this, she decided to apologize in advance.
But before she could open her mouth, Cook Liu had already bowed respectfully to Fu Xuanyu.
"I, Liu, pay my respects to the prince and princess."
Agate heaved a sigh of relief.
It seems that she underestimated Chef Liu.
Fu Xuanyu smiled and said, "The dim sum made by Chef Liu is beautiful and delicious. It tastes even better than the dim sum I eat in the palace."
Liu Huier's body froze for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am too kind. How can I possibly compare to the imperial chef in the palace?"
Fu Xuanyu smiled and said loudly: "Reward."
Zhufeng took out a purse, poured out a dozen golden melon seeds from it, and handed them to Cook Liu.
"Madam Liu, here, take it."
Liu Huier still didn't dare to look up at the nobleman's face, she just stretched out her two hands high and held them together.
Zhufeng tilted his palm and poured a dozen golden melon seeds into Liu Huier's hand.
Liu Huier took her hand back without even looking at the reward in her palm, and leaned down again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Fu Xuanyu raised his eyebrows and asked half-jokingly, "Has Madam Liu ever worked in the palace before? The rules are very standard!"
Liu Huier nodded and said, "Yes, I used to be a maid in the palace, but when I reached the age, I was released from the palace."
Chef Liu was taken into the mansion by Lin Wanyi some time ago. Because Chef Liu was unwilling to sign a contract to sell herself, and Lin Wanyi was very fond of her excellent cooking skills, she allowed her to enter the mansion as a long-term worker.
But before entering the mansion, Lin Wanyi specially asked someone to investigate the background of Chef Liu.
Chef Liu is an upright and kind person with a clean background and even clean interpersonal relationships. She has never been married and has no brothers or sisters. Her parents died one after another a few years ago. It can be said that she is alone.
The most important thing is that Chef Liu has never been to the palace, and she is lying now.
Lin Wanyi's expression darkened instantly, and she asked in a deep voice, "Madam Liu, before you entered the mansion, I had someone investigate your past, and you have never been a palace maid."
She stood up and walked to Liu Huier and angrily said, "Why did you lie today? What is your purpose in entering the Jiang family?"
Liu Huier still kept her head down. After a long time, she raised her head. Her eyes were calm, without the slightest panic.
She said calmly, "I just didn't want to cause any trouble, so I just said it casually. I really have never been a maid in the palace. As for why I know these rules, if I say I learned them from a dream, would you believe me? As for entering the Jiang family, it was naturally because I wanted to exchange my skills for some money."
This reason is too far-fetched.
Everyone present frowned.
Lin Wanyi sneered, "Listen to what you said. If you were me, would you believe it?"
Cook Liu pursed her lips and said calmly: "Every word I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can just fire me and I will go to another family to be a cook."
This is quite a tough statement.
There was no way Lin Wanyi would keep someone with an unknown purpose around her, so she immediately planned to ask Cook Liu to go to the accounting office to get some money and leave.
But before she could finish her words, Fu Xuanyu at the side spoke.
Ever since Chef Liu stood up, Fu Xuanyu noticed the sachet hanging around her waist.
The pattern on the sachet is particularly similar to the one his mother gave him.
The sachet was given to him by his mother when he was very young.
Later, after his mother fell in the back garden, her attitude towards him became much colder and she never made such sachets again.
Although he was young at that time, he still remembers these things.
Half a year later, his mother became pregnant again and paid even less attention to him. It was at that time that his father suggested bringing him up with him...
Therefore, his relationship with the Queen Mother has never been very good, but Fu Jingchuan gets along very well with her.
"Where did the sachet around Chef Liu's waist come from?" The voice was full of curiosity and expectation.
Lin Wanyi glanced at the sachet on Chef Liu's waist. Apart from the special pattern, there didn't seem to be anything special about it.
A flash of panic flashed across Cook Liu's eyes, but she quickly calmed down.
She smiled and said, "I embroidered this sachet for fun, but it's too ugly for Your Highness, so I'll put it away now."
Although it was only a moment of panic, Jiang Yun still caught it.
She frowned, somewhat confused about the cook's purpose.
The snacks in front of me are both excellent in shape and taste, and there is no poison in them.
Besides, if the sachet was really ordinary, why did he get so nervous just because Fu Xuanyu asked him about it? ?
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuanyu also shook his head, "I am confused. I actually felt that the pattern on your sachet is very similar to the one my mother embroidered for me! I guess it's just a coincidence."
When Liu Huier heard this, she smiled slightly, but her heart was beating wildly. She pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, how dare I compare my crude craftsmanship with the Queen's? Your Majesty, I am really ashamed of myself."
Jiang Yun narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "I happen to not see the sachet here, I'm very curious."
Liu Huier's wildly beating heart seemed to stop for a moment.
She turned her head stiffly and looked at Jiang Yun to plead guilty: "Princess, please forgive me. This sachet is very ugly. I'd better not pollute your eyes."
Jiang Yun raised her eyebrows and said to Nanny Wang beside her: "Mammy, go ahead. I want to see how ugly it can be."
