The Emperor's Favorite: The Detective Queen is too arrogant

Chapter 17 Cooking
The afternoon sun was lazy and charming, Lin Ling sat at the dining table, tapped the table with her fingers, and the huge room seemed extraordinarily quiet.

In front of her was a plate of ready-made chestnut cakes. In order to satisfy Jing Han's stomach that day, she had no choice but to ask the Queen Mother for advice. Thinking of the Queen Mother's shining eyes and teasing expression, Lin Ling felt guilty and wanted to say "Human essence", she dared to say that no one in this palace could bear this title except the queen mother.

"Ma'am, why don't I try it for you first?" Qing Ning stood aside and looked at her mother's depressed expression. Although she was a little suspicious of her cooking skills for the first time in 20 years, she looked good. , it shouldn't be that bad...

Lin Ling's eyes lit up, she stared at Qing Ning and nodded.

Under Lin Ling's watchful eye, Lime tried to pick up a small piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully a few times, um, it melts in the mouth, the taste is good, the taste...is it salty?Looking at Lin Ling with some uncertainty:
"My lady, does the chestnut cake taste salty?"

Lin Ling was taken aback, no, the Queen Mother said it was sweet!Thinking of this, Lin Ling also grabbed a piece and threw it into his mouth. After a while, he spit it directly into the trash can beside him, and picked up the teacup to rinse his mouth.

"No, I'll try again." Lin Ling stood up, left a word and walked directly to the imperial dining room. Qing Ning had no choice but to keep up with her.

——After three attempts, the fourth time, the chestnut cake was served on this table again, the difference is that there was one more person who tried it—Xiao Chunzi.

Xiaochunzi looked at the chestnut cake in front of him, and all kinds of thoughts flooded his heart, how much like the scene back then!If the emperor is here, he must be very moved!
"Grandpa Xiaochunzi, would you like to try it?"

Qing Ning opened her mouth cautiously, although what the empress has cooked these few times is not unpalatable, no matter how good the food is, she can't eat several plates in a row. The two master and servant secretly exchanged glances, and decided that Xiao Chunzi will be the judge for this time , the proposal was also proposed by him, well deserved!

"Mistress, you are polite."

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiaochunzi did not refuse, and gently picked up a piece of pastry with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.

"How is it?" Lin Ling rested her chin on one hand, staring at Xiao Chunzi eagerly, and Qing Ning beside her also stared eagerly.A smile flashed across Xiaochunzi's heart, the emperor married a good queen!He nodded and smiled sincerely:
"Hui Niangniang, your craftsmanship is not far behind that of the Empress Dowager, and you have more ingredients than what the Empress Dowager made back then!"

The corner of Lin Ling's mouth raised slightly: "My father-in-law is really smart. I know that I can't make the taste of the empress dowager back then, so I can only find another way and ask the palace people to pick fresh jasmine petals and add them in."

Xiaochunzi: "Your Majesty is indeed a smart person. I think the emperor will be very happy if you eat it."

There was a hint of sweetness in Lin Ling's heart. It was the first time that ordinary people had the experience of washing hands and making soup, and it was not bad.It's just that Jing Han has been away for more than 3 days, and he doesn't know how to come back. After understanding what's on his mind, he cares more about him in his heart.

In Qiongzhou, the morning is hazy and the air is clear.

A slender figure stood by the window, and a cold voice sounded:

"have not Get it yet?"

"This subordinate is useless, please punish me, master!" A black shadow flashed by and knelt down on the ground with one knee.

Jing Han's expression became more and more serious, "How is Jing Yu's situation?"

"There is news from the son, fearing that the situation in the court will change, let the master go back first, he will wait for the news here"

In the dark night sky, dotted with a few strands of starlight, I closed my eyes and sighed slightly,
"Back to the palace"

----

Longquan Palace——Lin Ling sat on the bed, resting her chin in thought: Jing Han has been away for 7 days, what urgent matter made him leave for so long regardless of the government?There were also some rumors in the palace, saying that the emperor was seriously ill.

In fact, she didn't have any "concern" towards Jing Han these days, she just went to the Empress Dowager's palace occasionally, and the Empress Dowager only mentioned him from time to time.In addition, she noticed that the number of times she thought of Jing Han every day was gradually increasing.

I went to pay my respects in the Empress Dowager's Palace today, she seemed to have no intention of asking, and the Empress Dowager also deliberately changed the topic, and said that she should be back in the next few days...

Lin Ling touched the silk quilt on the bed with some annoyance. This is the master bedroom of Longquan Palace, the bed where Jing Han slept. Thinking of this, Lin Ling couldn't help but bury her head in the quilt. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. There are palace people to tidy up and clean, but she still feels that this place has his smell, a little cold, but more of that kind of clear warmth, which makes her feel safe.

"Anyway, he won't be back for a while, so he might as well just sleep here."

A thought flashed in his heart, and Lin Ling lay down contentedly. Although he admitted that he liked him, but since he was a child, he thought that in this palace, the master was not there, and the guest could not occupy the magpie's nest. The whole day has been sleeping in the bedroom in the side hall.Lin Ling closed her eyes and let herself go for a while today.
