Across the Market

Chapter 292

At this moment, Nanny Qi looked Zhu Fulai up and down. Seeing that the so-called folk chef standing in front of her was a little girl, her eyes flashed with surprise, and then she said with a smile: "Look at such a young age, only fourteen or five years old. How can he be so skilled in cooking? Could it be that he learned cooking from his master since he was a child?" He said again, "It's still His Royal Highness who has the heart, so he can find such a person."

Zhang Chengshi bent down and walked towards Qian'er, smiled and said to Nanny Qi: "This is Fuji's owner. The old queen mother once ate the cakes brought back by His Royal Highness, isn't she still thinking about it? Miss Afu not only makes desserts Well, the culinary skills are also top-notch. By the way, Miss Afu won the first prize in the Huzhou cooking competition. No, this time I came to the capital. I just arrived yesterday, and I will enter the palace today gone."

After hearing Zhang Chengshi's words, Nanny Qi became more and more happy, and hurriedly led Zhu Fu to the Queen Mother's Longevity Palace.

At the gate of the hall, Nanny Qi turned to Zhu Fu and said, "Miss Ah Fu, wait here first, and then go in after the Empress Dowager calls you."

Zhu Fu nodded yes, and then waited outside the hall with Zhang Chengshi.

There were bursts of laughter from time to time, Zhu Fu heard the voice of the fourth prince, it was the fourth prince who was making the old queen mother happy.She thought to herself, as long as the queen mother is happy, and the old man is happy, she will ask the famous doctor in the palace to treat sister Kou's burns on her face later, so there is hope.

I just stood there for a short time, when a young lady with the appearance of a court lady walked out, looked at Zhu Fu with a smile and said, "You are the Miss Ah Fu that the Fourth Highness said?" But seeing Zhu Fu nodding, she looked at Zhu Fu with her beautiful eyes. Fu again, the smile deepened and said, "Miss Ah Fu, the Empress Dowager has sent you in."

Zhu Fu glanced at Zhang Chengshi, nodded, and then walked in with small steps.

The empress dowager is already in her 60s, with gray hair and a very kind face.She sat upright on the upper seat, and the four princes beside her were leaning over with smiles on their faces, and both grandparents and grandchildren had their eyes on Zhu Fu.

Zhu Fu kept his head down, walked to the center of the hall, and then knelt down directly.

"Minister Zhu Fu, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Zhu Fu also didn't understand the etiquette in the palace, he just knelt and kowtowed.

The queen mother said: "Quick, get up quickly, don't kneel."

Nanny Qi went down in person, helped Zhu Fu up, and said with a smile: "Miss Ah Fu, the old queen mother has been praising you all the time, and the queen mother likes you." The mother said, "The Queen Mother sees you going over, Miss Ah Fu, please get closer to the Queen Mother."

Zhu Fu nodded to Nanny Qi, and walked in small steps to Empress Dowager Zhang.

The fourth prince blinked at Zhu Fu, then turned to Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "Grandmother, grandson is right, isn't she just a yellow-haired girl."

Empress Dowager Zhang took Zhu Fu by the hand, looked him up and down, and became more and more happy.

"This girl looks good, well-behaved and festive, and she is full of wit and vigor. The imperial grandmother likes it very much." Empress Dowager Zhang nodded at the fourth prince, then looked at Zhu Fu, and said lovingly, "Girl, Aijia tasted the two dishes you made just now, and they seemed to taste something different. Can you tell Aijia, who did you learn from?"

Zhu Fu glanced at the fourth prince, but seeing the fourth prince nodded slightly at her, Zhu Fu knelt down in front of the queen mother again.

"Master's name is Wei Ming. When she was in Songyang County, Minnv once worked with Master in the Jingbin Building." After a short pause, but seeing that the Queen Mother didn't say anything, she continued to lower her head and said, "Just now The two dishes I made were taught by the master to teach the daughter of the people."

Empress Dowager Zhang said softly again: "Then where is your master now?"

Zhu Fu replied truthfully: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Master... He... was about to tell Master the good news when Minnv won the Songyang County Cooking Competition. After running to the place where Master lived, But I found out that Master has already passed away." After that, she was quite moved, thinking that Master had actually died unjustly, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes and said, "When Master passed away, Lord Jing's mansion was also there, and later it was Xie The tombstone that the uncle and the daughter of the people set up for the master."

I didn't say anything later, and if I continued, I was afraid that the matter would get involved.

No matter how much she hated County Lord Liuguang, Li Liuguang was a member of the royal family. Even if he was mentioned, it should be the Fourth Prince or Xie Tongti.

Having said that, the Fourth Prince Li Qin withdrew his smile, got up and knelt in front of the Queen Mother.

Li Qin said: "Grandmother, my grandson found out that Wei Ming was Wei Zhongtian, the royal chef with a golden knife in the palace. Wei Zhongtian poisoned the eighth brother, there is another strange thing, my grandson and Xie Tong found out some clues. However, I'm afraid It's because the father is still angry, so he wanted to tell the emperor about it first."

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Wei Zhongtian has stayed in the palace for so many years, how could the Ai family not know about his character?" Thinking back to this time, the old Empress Dowager was also trembling with anger, "This is to frame him behind his back. This person is really vicious and hateful, not only killed a generation of famous chefs, but also poisoned Xiao Ba of the Ai family! If the Ai family knows who the murderer is behind this, no matter what her identity is, she must be brought to justice!"

The fourth prince Li Qin raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the queen mother, and then said: "Grandmother, in order not to startle the snake, I'd better wait for my grandson to investigate this matter in detail before I discuss it with my father." After a pause, He also said, "When I was in Songyang County, the newly appointed Magistrate Zhao offended the criminals because of the investigation. As a result, the magistrate of Zhao's daughter was disfigured, and the mammy who took care of Miss Zhao in the county government was burned to death."

"There is such a thing?" Queen Mother Zhang was so angry that she slapped the table with her palm, and then said with a serious face, "How is the child now?"

Li Qin said: "It is said that there is no famous doctor in Huzhou area, this time Miss Zhu Fu brought her to the capital."
