Although Madam Lu did not translate every word to Queen Beatrice, she could roughly guess from everyone's expressions that they were all praise and compliments to her.
So she also asked Madam Lu to help translate, saying that the fabrics of Da Qi were particularly comfortable and the clothes were particularly beautiful, and she liked them very much.
Hearing her praise their country's things like this, Princess Rui and these officials' wives also felt very proud.
Although everyone did not speak the same language, they were able to chat very harmoniously for a while.
When the emperor and the empress came together, they happened to see this scene.
The Emperor waved his hand to stop the eunuch who was about to raise his voice to announce it.
The queen called the maid next to her and asked, "What are you talking about?"
“In reply to the Emperor and the Empress, Queen Beatrice is wearing our Daqi dress today and looks very beautiful.
"Princess Rui and the wives of the officials are all praising her, and she also praises our Da Qi clothes!"
"Oh? Then I must go and see it!" said the Queen and walked over.
The people who were chatting together only then realized that the emperor and the empress had arrived, and they quickly dispersed and saluted.
As soon as they dispersed, the Emperor and the Empress saw Queen Beatrice, who was dressed in her best attire today. She was truly an eye-catcher.
The emperor felt that this dress was a recognition and gesture of goodwill from Queen Beatrice towards Da Qi, so he was very happy and directly ordered someone to give her a set of official kiln porcelain.
Queen Beatrice didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.
The envoys from other countries were filled with regret upon seeing this.
It’s just a set of clothes, they can wear it too!
Although her clothes may not be as beautiful as Queen Beatrice's, what does it matter as long as she can get porcelain from the official kiln!
When Martina heard about official kiln porcelain, and a complete set at that, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.
If she wasn't afraid of the bad influence, she would have laughed out loud.
That’s porcelain from the official kiln!
For them, the porcelain from the Da Qi folk kiln is already very exquisite.
They had only seen porcelain from the official kilns in the palace, and the porcelain used for both drinking tea and eating was very exquisite.
Now, just because the queen wore a set of clothes from the Great Qi Dynasty, she got a complete set of official kiln porcelain. Is there anything more exciting than this!
The more Martina thought about it, the happier she became. The corners of her mouth were almost stretched to her ears, and she couldn't suppress it.
After the emperor and the queen sat down, everyone else followed suit.
It will soon be time for the cooking competition to begin.
Mrs. Ye and ten other chefs followed the eunuchs into the venue, knelt down to pay their respects to the emperor and empress, and then went to the stoves that had been prepared long ago to start preparing to cook.
In the final competition, there was no drawing of lots, but everyone was required to prepare three dishes and one soup.
As for what to do specifically, it is up to me to decide.
The ten chefs quickly came up with an idea in their minds. They all went to the side hall to get the ingredients they needed, and then started to get busy.
Although Mrs. Ye was too nervous to sleep last night, after arriving at the palace and meeting the emperor and empress, she found that it was not as scary as she had imagined, so her nervousness eased a lot.
Ten people were busy cooking. No one was talking. The only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of cutting vegetables and frying.
As for the people watching the cooking competition, except for the emperor who was watching with great interest, most of the others were pretending to be interested, and the topics they talked about had nothing to do with the cooking competition.
While Mrs. Ye was busy cooking, the Ye family members were gathered in the dumpling shop, waiting for news from the palace.
After Boss Ye went to Qin's house to pick up Qingtian at noon, he drove straight to the palace gate, bringing the gifts they had bought, waiting for Sister-in-law Ye to come out so that he could give her a surprise first.
Mr. Cen had said before that it would be over in about two hours.
But the father and daughter waited until they were hungry, but still no one came out.
I don’t know if it’s because the wait was too long, but people from other chefs’ families also came to the palace gate to wait for news.
Qingtian's stomach was rumbling with hunger.
Boss Ye didn't have any food with him, so he wanted to take Qingtian away from the area outside the palace gate to buy some food. However, Qingtian was afraid of missing the moment when Sister-in-law Ye came out, so he refused to leave.
Boss Ye didn't dare to leave her alone at the palace gate. He had no choice but to hope that the situation inside would be over as soon as possible so that Sister Ye could come out quickly.
In fact, the cooking competition in the palace had already ended at this time.
The rankings have been announced, and Mrs. Ye is ranked fourth, which is really a pity, as she is only one step away from the top three.
Mrs. Ye also felt very regretful at first, but she quickly comforted herself. She thought that getting fourth place in a cooking competition of this scale was already a great honor, so why was she still greedy?
But just after the eunuch announced the rewards for the top three and the remaining seven, something unexpected happened while the stove was being checked and cleaned.
Before Mrs. Ye knew what was going on, she was taken to a separate room.
"Madam You, please wait here for a moment. Someone may come over to ask you some questions or check something. You just need to cooperate fully."
"Yes!" Mrs. Ye waited anxiously for a long time. Two palace maids came in and checked her from head to toe again. They even took off her hairpins and bracelets to check carefully for any mechanism.
Mrs. Ye was so frightened that her legs went weak. What on earth had happened? Could someone have poisoned the food?
