Episode 6

Ling Xiaoxiao cut, fried, cooked, boiled, and quickly served the dishes. When the father-in-law came to pass the meal, the maid who Li Guifei had placed in the imperial kitchen hurriedly went to report to the noble that Ling Xiaoxiao had already cooked the dish with the bowl of fish oil. .
Concubine Li was snoring, but her noble spirit pushed her awake and told her that Ling Xiaoxiao had fallen into a trap, which made Concubine Li particularly excited and immediately went out to find the prince.
The prince was eating Ling Xiaoxiao's dishes with satisfaction, and Concubine Li accused him of violating the ban and stealing meat and fish. The prince didn't know anything about it, he only knew that all he ate was vegetarian, and he didn't understand why Concubine Li said this.
Concubine Li swears that fish oil is placed in the dishes that the prince eats. When the emperor was invited to preside over justice, he asked Concubine Li why she knew that the dish contained fish oil. Li Guifei said triumphantly that a palace maid told her secretly, but she did not bring her to testify in order to protect the palace maid. The emperor asked other royal chefs to identify and confirm that the oil in the dish was camellia oil, not fish oil at all. The emperor asked Concubine Li about the fish oil. Concubine Li heard that Ling Xiaoxiao had passed the nuances and learned that the bowl was fish oil and had been replaced with tea oil, so she put her suspicions that Ling Xiaoxiao saw that she was stealing elbows, and told the whole story. .
The emperor was really speechless to Concubine Li, so he told her that if Ling Xiaoxiao really used fish oil to cook for herself, it would be fatal, scaring Concubine Li and begging the emperor. The emperor wanted to make a big thing a little smaller, and fined Concubine Li Guifei for a month, but the queen just came back at this juncture.
The queen already knew what Concubine Li had done, and she did not agree with the emperor's understatement, so she repeatedly objected. The emperor went from one month to three months to six months, but the queen was always dissatisfied. The emperor simply decided for a year, and without waiting for the queen to object, he made the final decision. Li Guifei didn't know that the emperor was taking it lightly, but when she thought of how long it was for a year, she hugged the emperor's thigh and pleaded for mercy. The emperor was worried that if the trouble continued, it would be even more difficult for Concubine Li to get a good deal, so she was quickly taken away.
Ling Xiaoxiao did a good job in escorting her this time, and the emperor specially rewarded her with one hundred taels of gold. The prince thought that Ling Xiaoxiao was cooking for himself, and was deliberately trying to lure Concubine Li to the bait, so he was very unhappy. Ling Xiaoxiao explained to the prince that it was a foregone conclusion that she entered the imperial kitchen at first, so that the prince would not argue with the emperor and destroy his relationship, so he quickly responded. Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao was concerned about herself, the prince felt happy when he knew that she was only going to the imperial dining room temporarily and would come back to the delicacy room one day.
Concubine Li was imprisoned for many days, and life was really boring. The emperor delivered dishes to Concubine Li, and he was delighted by Concubine Li, who ate the delicacies on the table. The emperor liked Concubine Li's brainless appearance and knew that she did not mean to harm him, so he specially sent food to Concubine Li. Now that she is happy to eat, he is also very happy.
Guanglu Temple recommended Lu Yuchu to work in the imperial kitchen. After Guan Yidao let him try the dishes, he found that his knife skills were good, but the heat was a little worse. After Guan Yidao left, the people in the imperial kitchen gathered around to try it, and they were all full of praise. Chef Lu Yu has been cooking for a few days, and has been praised several times by the emperor. Guan Yidao was worried that he would steal his position, so he deliberately suppressed Lu Yuchu.
Chef Lu Yu suggested to Guan Yidao that two taels of soybeans should be added to the recipe of braised beef. Guan Yidao refused on the surface, but secretly added soybeans. The emperor was very surprised and praised Guan Yidao well.
Guan Yidao became more and more apprehensive of Chef Lu Yu. As a supervisor, he placed the dishes prepared by Chef Lu Yu at the farthest place from the emperor. Lu Yuchu obeyed Guan Yidao on the surface, but found the little eunuch behind his back, and deliberately brought the emperor to the royal kitchen to watch him argue with Guan Yidao. The emperor was very hard to resist food, so he made up his mind that whoever made the best dishes at the spring banquet would be the head of the imperial kitchen.
Although Ling Xiaoxiao had the emperor's decree and participated in the spring banquet, Guan Yidao only arranged for her to make some desserts and vegetarian dishes. Lu Yuchu, with his excellent skills, became the new head of the imperial kitchen.
When the news reached the delicacy room, everyone was shocked. Soon, there was news from the palace maid: Lu Yuchu and Guan Yidao were in trouble. Ling Xiaoxiao hurriedly put down her work and went out with the palace maids to check the situation.
