She is a very beautiful woman, she is nearly forty years old, and she still has the same charm. Although she is not as lively and bright as she was when she was a girl, her connotation has been carefully carved over the years, and her mature and dignified charm is comparable to that of ordinary girls.

"Why is Duke Wei here?" The queen smiled subtly, staring at Da Tsing Yi's face, which was tough, with a high nose, thin lips, and deep eyes, which contained indescribable vicissitudes.

The frosty whiteness of his temples made him more mature and charming.

Wei Yuan bowed his head first: "I heard that the queen is sick?"

The queen smiled and said, "It has been cured."

"Your Majesty said that the Queen's appetite has been poor recently, and asked my minister to come and have a look."

The smile on the queen's face faded, and she looked at him calmly: "He asked you to come? Mr. Wei, I don't know if I'm sick."

Wei Yuan hesitated for a while, shook his head and said, "Recently, I'm busy with official duties, so I don't know the queen is ill."

The queen turned her face away, and said in a flat tone, "I'm tired."

"The empress should drink less tea, it's not good for the spleen and stomach." Seeing the empress showing impatience, Wei Yuan bowed and said, "I will take my leave."

"Wei Yuan!"

The queen suddenly stopped him.

Wei Yuan turned his back and didn't look back.

"" The queen opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but because of various concerns, she didn't say anything in the end.

Thousands of words are hidden in her beautiful eyes, but Wei Yuan cannot see them.

When Wei Yuan left the Queen's palace, the breeze blew, and his green clothes fluttered.

He really didn't know that the queen was ill, because Anzi who had been planted nearby was pulled out by Emperor Yuanjing some time ago.And the Queen didn't know about it.

It is impossible to say these things in public, so they can only be misunderstood by the queen.

In front, the tall and slender Princess Huaiqing is leading the maids and guards over.

She was wearing a white palace dress, embroidered with bright plum blossoms, and covered with a cloak to keep out of the cold. She was glamorous and luxurious, elegant and refined.

Very different from when her mother was young.

"Duke Wei!" Princess Huaiqing saluted.

"Your Highness." Wei Yuan returned the salute, and explained casually, "Your Majesty heard that the Empress has a poor appetite and is in poor health. Let me visit on his behalf."

Princess Huaiqing let out a "hmm", father had long since stopped coming to the harem, he only thought about cultivating immortality and longevity every day, he would only pay attention to any lady in the palace who was sick, but usually he would send someone to visit.

"The maid serving in the palace said that the queen mother really hasn't eaten much recently." Huaiqing said.

"After a long illness, if you go on a hunger strike, your body will suffer from the root cause of the disease." Wei Yuan frowned, but in front of Princess Huaiqing, he hid his worry very well, and only expressed what a courtier should have worry.

Princess Huaiqing smiled slightly, she didn't seem to be worried, her voice was cold and crisp, and said with great quality: "I just plan to summon Xu Qi'an, since I met Duke Wei here, Huaiqing will spare the guards to make an extra trip."

Wei Yuan asked in astonishment, "What does Your Highness mean by this?"

Princess Huaiqing said: "Xu Qi'an has a special secret recipe, which can enhance the umami taste of food a hundred times, and the taste will be unforgettable for a long time. The mother's appetite is poor, so I can try this secret recipe."

Xu Qi'an asked Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao to listen to the music at his own expense, and the two colleagues finished the work of passing on life while listening to the music.

It was Xu Qi'an who made up for them, especially Song Tingfeng, who donated a full five taels of silver to the Yangshengtang.He is a slut without a family, living expenses come second, if he has no money to go to the Jiaofang Office, he will feel sad in the balls.

Leaving Goulan, Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng, who were hungry and hungry, were extremely satisfied. The three of them were stopped by a gong riding a horse and complained, "Where are you going to fish? You can't find anyone for a long time."

"What's the matter?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"Wei Gong welcomes you." The gong said.

Naturally, Xu Qi'an was invited. Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao knew that they were not in the same weight, so they waved goodbye to their benevolent colleagues and continued their street patrol.

Returning to the Yamen and entering Haoqi Building, Xu Qi'an saw Wei Yuan sitting at the desk reading a book.

The eunuch put down the scroll and said: "I heard from Huaiqing that you have a secret formula that can enhance the umami taste of the dishes."

Is Huaiqing such a gossip?This kind of trivial matter is also talked about everywhere. Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, "Small tricks are not worth remembering by Wei Gong."

"The empress has lost her appetite recently and her body is weak. I would like to try your formula." Wei Yuan said gently.

The queen is Huaiqing's biological mother. Huaiqing asked Wei Yuan to ask me for chicken essence. Xu Qi'an nodded suddenly. Seeing that there was no one in the tea room, he took out the small jade mirror and lightly buckled the back. A head-sized jar fell out and was held firmly by him. reached out to catch it.

The fruits of Chu Caiwei and Song Qing's labor are all here, and he only left a small bottle of chicken essence for Chu Caiwei.

Wei Yuan opened the jar, sniffed it, and frowned.He smelled a slightly pungent umami.

"This thing is called chicken essence." Xu Qi'an said popular science.

Chicken essence is a mixed product, with monosodium glutamate and guanylic acid as the core components, and the combination of the two complements each other.

Speaking of it, the two words chicken essence can be described as broad and profound, and it has three meanings, one of which is the seasoning you see in front of you.

The other is that the chicken has become a spirit, which is called chicken essence.There is also a specialty that is unique to men.

After closing the lid and returning the jar to Xu Qi'an, Wei Yuan called the officials: "Let the cook cook the noodles."

Xu Qi'an understood and went out with the officials.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi'an came back with a bowl of egg and shredded pork noodles and put it on Wei Yuan's desk.

Wei Yuan nodded: "Take a bite and help me test the poison."

"" There is only one pair of chopsticks, Xu Qi'an took a bite with the other end.

After waiting for a while, after confirming that the little gong hadn't been poisoned to death by the noodles he brought up, Wei Yuan moved his chopsticks.

Xu Qi'an said quietly: "Maybe the poison was smeared on the chopsticks."

Wei Yuan was taken aback, and said angrily, "Get out."

Xu Qi'an didn't get out, just grinned. After spending so long with Wei's father, Wei Yuan is a person who won't really get angry, and his skill in nourishing his qi is terrifying.

Sure enough, Wei Yuan ignored him and lowered his head to eat the noodles.

Chewing the firm noodles, he was a little surprised by the texture of the noodles, and had the first experience of the taste buds being hit by chicken essence.When he took a sip of the soup, Wei Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"How?" Xu Qi'an asked expectantly.

"No matter how many chefs have worked hard, they still can't make this kind of taste." Wei Yuan nodded in satisfaction. The queen is used to the delicacies in the palace. Apart from her lack of appetite, the reason for her anorexia is that she is tired of eating the dishes in the palace.

Xu Qi'an could feel the approval in Wei's father's eyes.
