Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 175
Zhao Min had been standing at the back of the crowd, and when he heard the man asking for a poem, he even gave up the idea of ​​going to the front.

It would be fine to let him heal illnesses and cook, but it is absolutely impossible for him to compose poems.

But sometimes, the more you don't want something to happen, it will happen to you.

After several ladies had written poems about chrysanthemums, it was the turn of the lady in light yellow dress.

The rule of the game is that after one person finishes writing the poem, he can appoint the next person to write the poem.

After the lady in light yellow clothes finished writing the poem, she looked for something in the crowd with an anxious look on her face. After seeing Zhao Min who was at the back, a mischievous smile flashed across her face, and she walked up to her. In front of him: "It's just you."

Zhao Min had no choice but to become the protagonist among the people present. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she couldn't help laughing twice, but she was pushed by someone behind her, and she took two steps forward, almost fell to the ground.

Seeing Zhao Min's clumsy movement, the ladies around burst into laughter, while the Crown Princess watched all this with a smile from the beginning to the end, without saying anything.

"Hurry up, it's your turn, isn't it a shame?"

From time to time, someone beside him made coaxing, so Zhao Min could only bite the bullet and walk forward.

Seeing all kinds of bright chrysanthemums blooming in front of her, Zhao Min was at a loss. Just when she was at a loss, a poem suddenly came to her mind, and she followed the thought in her mind to read the poem come out.

"Jielu is in a human environment, but there are no cars and horses making noise.

Ask Jun He Nenger?self-centered

Plucking chrysanthemum under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely.

The mountains are getting better day by day, and the birds are returning.

There is true meaning in this, and I have forgotten the words if I want to distinguish it. "

When Zhao Min pronounced the last word, there was silence all around, and the lady in the goose-yellow dress also had an expression of disbelief, and murmured, "Impossible, how is it possible?"

At this time, the concubine who had been watching from the side walked up to Zhao Min: "It's unexpected that the girl has such a good literary talent, it's really admirable."

Listening to the praise of the crown princess to Zhao Min, the faces of the people around were all different. The ninth princess just sneered disdainfully. On the contrary, the lady in the goose yellow dress looked aggrieved. She obviously wanted to see her make a fool of herself. Unexpectedly, she showed her face in front of the princess instead.

"Okay, according to our game rules, you can follow me to receive the prize."

prize?What prize?Zhao Min was at a loss.

When she was talking about the rules of the game just now, she didn't listen carefully.

It turned out that among the poems she made, the princess would choose the one she thought was the best and reward her with something.

Right now, since Zhao Min won the first prize, he will naturally follow the Crown Princess to receive the reward.

Zhao Min didn't know what the situation was, but obediently followed the princess and walked elsewhere.

"Your name is Zhao Min?"

Hearing the Crown Princess' question, Zhao Min was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said openly, "Yes."

"I heard that you are good at cooking?" The princess still had that faint expression on her face.

Zhao Min didn't know how she knew that she was good at cooking, so she could only admit it gruffly: "It's still acceptable."

"It's autumn recently, and I always feel angry in my heart. I can't eat anything. I wonder if Ms. Zhao can make an appetizer for me?"

Hearing the sudden request from the Crown Princess, Zhao Min was a little confused about what she wanted to do, but she didn't dare to refuse: "It's an honor for a daughter of the people."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Zhao Min was taken to the kitchen by the nanny behind the princess: "Miss Zhao, there are all kinds of ingredients, please go ahead."

Looking at the dazzling array of ingredients on the wooden shelf in front of him, Zhao Min couldn't help sighing again, the luxury of this rich family is just seriously thinking about what he should do in his heart.

Since you have no appetite, why not make a refreshing cold dish!
After making up his mind, Zhao Min chose the ingredients he wanted and planned to make a lotus root slice mixed with fungus.

The ingredients of this dish are common, the method is simple, and it takes a short time. Zhao Min finished it in a short while.

After looking at Zhao Min's finished product, the nanny couldn't help frowning. The princess gave her such a good opportunity, so she used this kind of ingredients to send her away?
Immediately, he suppressed his expression, thinking about seeing how she would be punished later.

The nanny led Zhao Min to the place where the Crown Princess is resting to type. After putting the dishes on the table where the Crown Princess was sitting, she took out a silver needle and tested the poison. After confirming that it was not poisonous, she handed the chopsticks to the Crown Princess. .

When the princess saw this dish, she didn't show any strange expression. She took the chopsticks, first picked up a piece of lotus root, and put it in her mouth to taste it.

The princess looked at the dish in front of her and didn't have much hope at first, but she didn't expect that the lotus root slices were made by Zhao Min to be so crisp and refreshing, with a slightly sweet and sour feeling, which made people feel a little appetizing Open, can't help eating another piece, and then put down the chopsticks.

"Miss Zhao is really good at cooking, she really doesn't deserve her reputation."

After hearing the Crown Princess' affirmation of her cooking skills, Zhao Min also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the dishes she cooked did not suit her taste, and she would be punished.

"Miss Zhao still lives in the residence of Young Master Gu?"

Zhao Min nodded lightly, and after the nurse next to her handed the princess a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, the princess wiped her mouth lightly, stood up and walked to the window.

Zhao Min stood in front of the table, not knowing what she was going to do, but just stood respectfully.

After a long time, the Crown Princess turned around and said, "Young lady lives in Prince Gu's mansion with no name and title. If things go on like this, it's not a long-term solution. Why don't you come and be the exclusive cook of this Palace?

When Zhao Min heard the Crown Princess's proposal, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. He didn't understand why she would say such a thing suddenly. Didn't he just come to attend a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet?How did you get a job?

At that moment, Zhao Min knelt down in front of the Crown Princess: "There is something wrong with what the girl did, please forgive the Crown Princess for her high hand."

Looking at Zhao Min who was kneeling on the ground, the princess stepped forward with a gentle look: "What are you doing? Hurry up."

The Crown Princess personally helped her up from the ground: "It's just a proposal. If you don't want to, I can't force you, right? You go back and think about it, and give me an answer in three days, okay?"

Zhao Min clamored in his heart: I can give you an answer right now, I won't come!

But in the end, it was impossible to disrespect the Crown Princess, so at that moment, Zhao Min saluted her: "The daughter of the people thanked the Crown Princess for her appreciation."

In the end, the princess ordered someone to take a box and hand it to Zhao Min. Zhao Min opened it and saw a jade bracelet inside. Looking at the quality, it was very valuable.

This is the prize for the poetry competition just now.
