Part 03 Prelude to Entering the Palace

Lin Wuniao stared wide-eyed at Miao Manxi, who felt her face flush a few shades under the gaze. She raised her hand and pretended to cough: "Alright, we have received the tokens, let's get ready. We will enter the palace together the day after tomorrow"

Lin Wuniao snapped his fingers, signaling him to come closer, and he indeed obediently leaned in to listen

The steward replied nervously: "The master is experiencing severe vomiting and diarrhea, and the physician has already been summoned. It is said that he has eaten something bad..." He cast a difficult glance at Lin Wuniao.

Seeing her quirky demeanor, Miao Manxi couldn't help but smile inwardly. He lowered his head, took a light sip of the noodle soup, concealing the slight upward curve of his lips.

Shiny and lustrous, like two exquisite crystals, exuding an aura of vitality

Lin Dajian was just about to continue his heartfelt speech as a benevolent father when he was suddenly interrupted by the butler, who raised his arm and called out loudly, causing Lin to glare at him in anger: "What are you so anxious about?"

Speaking of which, he still needs to go back and walk the big cat

This damned child, what should I do? Lin Dajie finally began to lose his composure.

"By the way, dress up nicely." Lin Dajiang was confident that with Miao Manxi's extremely masculine personality, he would definitely fall for this.

Miao Manxi's face suddenly flushed with a faint pink, and she straightened her back with a cold expression. However, Lord Li, who was quite lacking in tact, interjected and asked: "Hey, what secret conversation are you having? This lord would also like to listen in."

Lord Miao, by the way, the Fourth Prince asked me to inquire if you would be willing to join his party for some fun during the autumn hunt

What are the ingredients made of? He frowned and tilted his head slightly to look at Lin Wuniao, This flavor is quite unique, but it seems a bit excessively fresh; after tasting it again, it feels rather bland.

Master, Master, something is wrong!

This is my mood, fervent and surging. Lin Wuniao replied to him very seriously, his eyes rolling around.

Decided to select some people early and planned to leave

"Go on," Lin Dajian's face twitched, and his eyes also glanced at Lin Wuniao.

"There are no birds, and Father is quite pleased. I have heard that Master Manxi has never taken anyone as a disciple, but this time he has accepted you as his assistant. You must do your best. " At this moment, Lin, the head of the family, suddenly felt a paternal affection.

Well, she attempted to offer her apologies with humility

By the time she finished applying her makeup and donned the little peach-red skirt, Lin Wuniao was completely devoid of thoughts. She had 20 mountains pressing down on her head, which were the wigs contributed by each of the concubines in friendship. They were piled so high, one clump after another, resembling the dung balls of a wild donkey.

"Old Niu, bring ten bundles of firewood from the woodshed and let Wu Niao carry them! Only then can we demonstrate Wu Niao's sincerity!" Lin Dazhang waved his hand, and the gold rings on his fingers dazzled the eyes of the concubines.

He is truly infuriated, as he actually allowed a cook to gain the upper hand

As for that packet of instant noodles, it is well within the expiration date, so how could there be any issue? She is overly distressed, almost ready to pound the ground and cry out in injustice

However, my lord, the same symptoms have also appeared when Minister Li returned home

Ah ... ... owe ... ...

"No Bird, go ahead, use your beauty and wisdom to conquer all the esteemed guests!" Lin, the head of the household, patted No Bird on the shoulder, and everyone collectively gasped, "Head of the household, be careful of the powder!"

Lin Dajian glared and said: "He has fallen ill, why shout anything? It's bad luck!"

Ah? It was so easy to pass, I truly have exceptional talent. Lin Wuniao was overjoyed, dancing with excitement. However, as he was leaving, he was clearly not in the right state, tripping over his left foot with his right foot, and fell flat on his face at the last moment.

You, carry a thorny branch and come to me to admit your guilt! The invincible Lin Dazhang finally had a moment of inspiration and instructed Lin Wuniao while pointing at him

Miao Manxi still wore that calm and composed demeanor, brushing off his robe and nodding to him: "Lord Li, you have worked hard."

It is indeed easier to deal with Li Xiang; if we send some more silver, it should be fine. However, regarding Master Da Ren, we certainly cannot lose the qualification to enter the imperial kitchen for no reason at all

The steward, unable to wipe away his sweat, cast his eyes over Lin Wuniao again and again, suddenly lamenting loudly: "Master, it is terrible; the esteemed guests at the banquet have returned home from the competition today and suddenly fell ill."

It is said that the esteemed guests today only consumed a small portion of the noodles prepared by the young lady

What is this?

Without this surging noodle soup, he still has to do a favor for Lord Li.

With a chuckle, Lin Wuniao struggled to lift her head, her fiery red lips, striking blush, and a complexion as pale as wall powder. She now had absolute reason to believe that Lin Dazhang was sending her to intimidate Miao Manxi

"Lord Miao, this is indeed correct; the recommendations from the Lin family are undoubtedly of the highest quality." Lord Li let out a comfortable sigh. Internally, he scolded himself for being too kind-hearted, always treating friends with the warmth of spring. Just look, for the precious third son of the Lin family head, he had even gone so far as to put his old face against Chef Miao's backside.

When Lin Wuniao brought the bowl of noodles to the table, Miao was still stunned by the bizarre color, aroma, and flavor of the noodle soup.

Miao Manxi squinted his eyes and then smiled, saying: "Manxi is merely a cook and knows nothing about hunting, so I kindly ask the lord to explain it on my behalf"

Miao Manxi's lips twitched again.

No, she couldn't believe that she really had to run all the way to the Miao residence carrying a bundle of firewood, feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

Ah..." The one screaming is Lin Dajiang, who is slapping the chair and angrily addressing the onlooking concubines, "All of you, take out your powder and apply it properly on Wuniao, until it is white and tender!"

The bright candlelight illuminated the Lin family's grand residence, and this time, among the three contestants recommended by the Lin family, two actually made it. The most surprising development was that the head of the Imperial Kitchen selected Wu Niao as a personal assistant.

What does it mean to dress up? Dressing up signifies a dramatic transformation. Look at her little face, which could originally be considered delicate and beautiful; after being persuaded by Tang Xin, it is now covered with a thick layer of powder that falls off in clumps with every movement.

First, the fried egg that has flown over, with its golden hue, should not pose any issues

"Is there a better way?" she asked timidly, only to be silenced by a thunderous roar from Lin, the leader.

"You might consider marrying into our Lin family; then you can learn however you wish, hehe." Her lips brushed lightly against his earlobe, and she quickly straightened her back, looking at him with great delight

Ten bundles of firewood, oh my, did she come over just to be a packhorse? She is unwilling to accept that!

With a swish, the tears of the birdless sky silently glide across the face, leaving behind two deep, profound furrows of sorrow.

Lin Wuniao could not stop the tears, which moistened her eyelashes again

What does this mean? It means that since Lin Dajian stepped down from the position of deputy manager of the Imperial Kitchen, the Lin family finally has successors in the Imperial Kitchen. Originally, the Miao family was gradually gaining power, which had been a source of concern for Lin Dajian until now. Today, he has finally sent his own descendants there, and he is overjoyed.

Could you please refrain from being so terrifying

Lin Wuniao's mouth keeps twitching, isn't he just playing a role similar to that of an OFFICE assistant? What exactly is he so happy about? Moreover, her entering the palace is truly more harmful than beneficial. Is it really to have her assist Miao Manxi in cooking instant noodles? That would be quite embarrassing

Her grandfather, she knew that this misfortune would be blamed on her

Brother, this is fast food, do you still expect to savor it? Lin Wuniao, filled with anger, bit her lip and said: "This is the secret technique of the Lin family, if you wish to learn it, there is indeed a method."

Secondly, the braised fish that flew over should not pose any issues either

At this moment, Lin Wuniao truly shed tears

A fierce glare directed at the birdless sky

The selection is nearing its end, and he truly does not want to face the insincere smile of Lord Li.

Lin Wuniao, frightened, shifted a little further into the corner of the hall. She began to recall in great detail what exactly had gone wrong with the bowl of noodle soup she had in the afternoon

No birds, you must keep a straight face, and absolutely do not move, otherwise all the powder will fall off

Miao Man raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of interest stirred in her clear and tranquil eyes

"That cannot be said to be a problem with something that has no birds!" Lin, the head of the family, wore a stiff expression, and his tone began to waver.

He turned around and instructed the servant who was recording: "This one, assign her to my side, I will personally take care of her." She was truly extraordinary, and could only be kept by his side for proper instruction, thus ensuring that no mistakes would occur.

Lin Wuniao moved slightly towards the dark place with a soft sound. This is bad, a serious matter, could it be that this incident is to be blamed on her?

What an ungrateful person, Lord Li curled his lips, glanced at the noodle soup on the table, gulped it down completely, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave

I am very sorry, she let out a loud sneeze, and the powder on her face immediately cracked, radiating outward.

The soup is fresh with a hint of spiciness, and paired with a hot temperature, it indeed invigorates the senses
