Ling Xiaoxiao was leading people to dig lotus roots. The prince saw that she kept reminding them to be careful, and he was so considerate of the servants, so he came over to have a look. When Ling Xiaoxiao saw the prince coming, he thought he wanted to eat lotus root today, so he recommended a few dishes made with lotus root to the prince. The prince had listened to Ling Xiao's novel that day, and her wish was to become the first royal chef, and he didn't mean to like her at all, which made him a little awkward. The prince likes Ling Xiaoxiao, and everyone can see it. Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao keeps mentioning what to eat, he asks her, in her eyes, is food more important, or is it the prince? Ling Xiaoxiao didn't know where the problem was, but it was still the most important thing to answer His Royal Highness. This pleased the prince. He said that Ling Xiaoxiao was a flatterer, and happily ordered the old duck lotus root soup and steamed lotus root.
Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao didn't provoke the prince this time, Zheng Li quietly gave Ling Xiaoxiao an admiring look, which made Ling Xiaoxiao even more confused.
Concubine Li Gui was bored in the palace, so she pulled the maid to accompany her to relieve her boredom. The palace maid knew that her status was low, and when she saw that Concubine Li had to let her stand and play with her, she was terrified.
Li Guifei has been unable to find King Jin recently, so she couldn't help but be very bored, thinking about going to the emperor to play, but the emperor went to the queen again. Li Guifei really had nothing to do, so she planned to sleep. The father-in-law quickly said that Concubine Li had a bad appetite recently and lost weight. The King of Jin reminded the servants to take Concubine Li for a walk in the garden so that they could eat well. This made Concubine Li very happy and went out happily.
Concubine Li was chasing butterflies in the garden, and accidentally folded the roses that the queen had planted by herself, which happened to be caught by the queen. The queen thought that Concubine Li was deliberately provoking herself, so she had to punish her. The emperor wanted to persuade her to make peace, but she didn't want Concubine Li to fall into the empress's aggressive tactics. She really pulled the phoenix hairpin, which represented the queen's status, and angered the empress, and ordered her to ground one. moon.
The emperor had always hinted that Concubine Li would admit her mistake to the empress. Unexpectedly, Concubine Li would be wrong, and she actually pulled out the phoenix hairpin. After seeing the figure of Concubine Li swaggering away after her plea was useless, the emperor fainted.
As soon as the emperor fainted, Concubine Li rushed over in a hurry. Knowing that the emperor fell because of recent fatigue and too greasy food, the queen decided to go to the temple to repay her vows, and ordered everyone to accompany the emperor to fast for three months.
Concubine Li has always regarded meat as her life, but now she has to eat vegetarian food for three months, which makes her particularly painful, and she can't help holding the emperor's hand and wailing. The emperor thought that Concubine Li was distressed for him, but when she realized that Concubine Li was sad because she couldn't eat meat, she couldn't help but feel very depressed.
The emperor ate vegetarian dishes for a few days, and the bird could fade out of his mouth. This day, seeing the royal chef cooking light dishes again, he directly ordered the royal chef to eat it himself. The prince heard that the emperor could not eat, so he asked Ling Xiaoxiao to cook and serve it. The emperor ate the spring rolls made by Ling Xiaoxiao, and his appetite was full, so he left Ling Xiaoxiao in the imperial kitchen. The crown prince has always been tolerant towards Ling Xiaoxiao. Knowing that she was reckless, he first interceded with the emperor. If Ling Xiaoxiao had offended him, he would also ask the emperor to forgive her.
Concubine Li hadn't eaten meat for many days, and she was so greedy that she couldn't stand it. She didn't dare to touch the food in the palace, so she let the noble gas get her an elbow from outside the palace and hid in the back garden to steal it. Concubine Li couldn't stop eating, she was almost persuaded by her noble spirit, but she couldn't persuade her at all. It happened that Ling Xiaoxiao passed by the back garden. After she left, Concubine Li was frightened, so she threw her elbow in the back garden, and hurriedly returned to the palace with her extravagance.
The emperor has been vegetarian for many days, and his health has improved a lot, but although Ling Xiaoxiao's dishes are delicious, he always feels that something is missing. When the emperor passed by the back garden, he smelled the smell of elbows, and he couldn't bear it any longer.
Hearing this, the prince determined to arrest the person who stole elbows in the garden. Concubine Li Suspected that Ling Xiaoxiao saw her that day, worried about the incident, and wanted to drive Ling Xiaoxiao away, so she took advantage of the hot soup served by Ling Xiaoxiao, and acted like a spoiled child to ask the emperor to drive Ling Xiaoxiao away. The prince came forward to speak for Ling Xiaoxiao, saying that it is rare for the emperor to eat Ling Xiaoxiao's dishes now, and the emperor's body should be the most important thing.
Seeing that this plan could not work, Concubine Li asked Guiqi to think of a way. The extravagance secretly replaced the soybean oil in the imperial kitchen with specially treated fish oil, and only waited for Ling Xiaoxiao to cook meals for the prince and the emperor tomorrow, so that people could hold the evidence and never escape.
