The people who participated in the food conference were actually ordinary people from the general public. They usually cooked for themselves, and this time they were selected through a competition, round after round.
When it comes to the final round, the prince will taste the food himself and choose the one he thinks is the most suitable. That person will become the imperial chef in the palace.
The monthly salary of the imperial chef is high, and many people try their best to become an imperial chef.
We finally have this opportunity today, and there is a constant stream of people coming to participate.
The scene was packed with people. Looking around, all you saw were people.
Fortunately, the Bai family had privileges. As soon as they saw them coming, the prince's men had someone take them inside.
From inside, you can directly see everything that happens outside.
Now, those outside have started the first round. The first round is a written test, which requires describing your cooking experience, why you like cooking, and what you think of the dishes you cook.
In just a short while, two-thirds were eliminated, leaving only one-third.
[This is too weird! Isn't it just cooking a dish? And I have to take a written test. I hate writing. If it were me, I would definitely be eliminated in the first round.]
When Mrs. Bai heard the voice of her little boy, she couldn't help feeling distressed. Her little boy was still so young, but he didn't like to write. What would she do when he grew up?
She still wanted to send her child to school. Although everyone in the world believed that a woman's virtue lay in her lack of talent, her daughter was definitely different from others.
However, Mrs. Bai was only worried for a moment because she felt that the child was still young and there was no need to worry about this matter.
At this time, Xiao Mingzhu noticed that some of the people below seemed to be acting strangely and kept looking at them closely.
Moreover, that look was terrifying, and there was murderous intent in their eyes.
Xiao Mingzhu followed the gaze of these people and found that the person they were staring at was the prince who was beside her.
The moment the prince saw little Mingzhu, he was very happy. He couldn't explain why, but he just liked this child very much.
Normally, he disliked children except for his younger brother, the Sixth Prince, no matter who they were.
Anyway, those kids seemed annoying to him, and this was the first one he fell in love with at first sight.
So the prince couldn't help but reach out his hand to the little pearl in Mrs. Bai's arms.
Looking at him like this, he just wants to hug little Mingzhu.
This is the only candidate for the future crown prince. Little Mingzhu is very sensible. She must rely on the powerful at the critical moment. Otherwise, she is too weak to fully protect her family.
So looking at the prince who was looking at her, Xiao Mingzhu opened her arms to him without hesitation.
Sure enough, when the prince saw Xiao Mingzhu open her arms, a bright smile appeared on his face.
Even the people around him were stunned. The prince was always serious, and this was the first time they saw him so happy.
The prince held little Mingzhu in his arms without hesitation. Although his movements were a little unfamiliar, he quickly learned it with Madam Bai's personal instruction.
Mrs. Bai also wanted to hold the child herself. She had not held the child many times since he was born.
At home, the child's father and brothers were fighting with her to hold the child, and now outside, the prince was fighting with her for the child.
She could still refuse others, but she could not refuse the prince no matter what.
Mrs. Bai could only stand beside the prince and look at the little pearl in his arms.
At this time, Xiao Mingzhu stared at the people below with her big round eyes.
After seeing those people looking at each other, they began to communicate with each other using lip language.
And it happened in public, which is simply audacious.
Looking at them like this, they really don't take the prince seriously at all.
Maybe they think no one can understand their lip reading!
But unfortunately, Xiao Mingzhu could see these lip movements very clearly, and she could also figure out what they wanted to express.
[These people are actually planning to assassinate the Crown Prince. How despicable! There are so many people here. Aren't they really afraid that they won't come back?]
[What? Two of the people currently performing cooking there are their people, and they are very skilled.]
Xiao Mingzhu's words were heard clearly by the three people from the Bai family who were standing next to her. They couldn't help but look in the direction Xiao Mingzhu was looking.
They didn't pay much attention just now, but now after hearing what Xiao Mingzhu said, when they looked over again, they didn't know if it was a psychological effect.
They instantly felt that those people were a little strange. Bai Tingzhi had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the unusualness of those people.
Those people were tall and strong, and they looked like martial artists.
Looking over, among the large group of people gathered, the row of people in the front seemed to be all their people, because these people all had a red cloth tied on their hands.
If Xiao Luoyi hadn't reminded him, he would never have noticed that there was anything strange about these people.
Bai Tingzhi gestured to Bai Qi beside him, and then asked Bai Qi to go out with him first.
When Bai Qi was still hesitating about how to tell his father about this matter, his father just happened to call him.
Bai Tingzhi said something to Mrs. Bai, then took Bai Qi away. He planned to find a more secluded place to discuss this matter.
Mrs. Bai knew what they were going to do, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After Bai Tingzhi took Bai Qi downstairs, he immediately asked him.
"Xiao Qi, did you notice anything unusual at the food conference just now?"
Bai Qi shook his head. He didn't know what his father wanted to express.
When he saw Bai Qi shaking his head, Bai Tingzhi looked at him with some disappointment.
If his eldest son Baiyin was here at this time, he would have definitely noticed it long ago.
This youngest son is really as smart as a monkey in other things, but he really knows nothing about such important matters.
Looking at his father like this, Bai Qi belatedly realized and asked.
"Dad, have you also noticed that those people at the food conference are a little unusual? It seems like they are planning to assassinate the prince."
When Bai Tingzhi heard this, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
The way he looked at Bai Qi was as if he was looking at a grown-up child.
