Taixue Palace.
In the small courtyard next to the south courtyard.
The man delivering the food was copying the letters on the table with an ink pen in hand. On the side, Ye Xuanji polished the ink herself and pointed out the places to be changed.
Behind, the imperial student delivering the letter was waiting anxiously, looking outside from time to time.
He knew that the student from Mobei was coming soon.
They couldn't delay for long.
The time for this mission is really tight.
"alright."
About a quarter of an hour later, the man put down the pen and ink in his hand, handed over the copied letter, and said, "Just let the ink dry."
Ye Xuanji took the letter, turned her palms to condense her energy, and used her true energy to evaporate the writing and ink on the letter.
"Send the letter back."
After the ink was dry, Ye Xuanji sealed the letter again, handed it to the student in front of her, and gave instructions.
"yes!"
The imperial student who delivered the letter accepted the order and hurried away with the letter.
"Ye Jiaoxi, my subordinates have also gone back."
The man who delivered the food also bowed respectfully and pushed the empty cart away.
After the business was done, Ye Xuanji came to the courtyard, picked up a cabbage from the corner, and planned to practice her cooking skills first, and then find a chance to have a good discussion with the old man Le Ru.
Do something?
Ye Xuanji picked up the cabbage piece by piece, and then looked at the cabbage leaves in the basin in a daze.
She doesn't seem to be able to cook cabbage.
How about frying it with eggs?
However, she doesn't seem to have any eggs here.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuanji searched the house for a long time and finally found two duck eggs.
It still seems to be salted duck eggs.
Is it also possible to stir-fry cabbage with salted duck eggs?
Ye Xuanji thought for a moment and thought it was feasible, so she started washing vegetables and preparing them.
at the same time.
Outside the small courtyard.
The Imperial College student who delivered the letter returned the same way, and met the Imperial College student from Mobei and the Imperial College student responsible for delay walking towards him holding a large pile of books.
The two imperial students looked at each other and immediately nodded in greeting.
In a moment of miscarriage, the imperial student who delivered the letter stuffed the letter into the former's arms and walked away without saying a word.
The blue-robed student responsible for the delay looked at the letter in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally caught up.
The two then came to Ye Xuanji's courtyard. The blue-robed student spoke respectfully, "Ye Xuanji, we brought the books."
"come in."
In the small courtyard, Ye Xuanji answered casually while busy.
"yes!"
The blue-robed student took the order and immediately walked in with the Mobei student.
"Brother, ouch."
The two of them had just entered the courtyard when suddenly, the blue-robed student turned around. Just as he was about to say something, he stumbled and collided with the Mobei student behind him. Suddenly, all the books in their arms fell to the ground.
"Can't you two be more careful?"
In the house, Ye Xuanji, who was washing vegetables, saw this and walked out quickly, with a dissatisfied look on her face, and scolded, "These books are quite precious."
"Sorry, sorry."
The blue-robed student hurriedly apologized twice, then squatted on the ground to collect the scattered books.
The Mobei students also squatted down and helped clean up together.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the blue-robed student picked up a letter from the books scattered on the ground and asked puzzledly, "Why is there a letter in this?"
"this is mine."
When the student from Mobei saw the letter, his expression changed. He reached for the letter and quickly explained, "This is the letter from home I received today."
"Letter home?"
The blue-robed student was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions and continued to collect the books on the ground.
Seeing that the former did not suspect anything, the students from Mobei couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a close call. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
Not long after, the two packed up the books on the floor, moved them into the house, and left together.
Inside the room, Ye Xuanji didn't even glance at the "precious" books. Instead, she kept her attention on the cabbage in front of her.
It seems like they were all shredded.
Does it taste better when fried if it's broken into pieces?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuanji took out the cabbage from the basin and started to light a fire to stir-fry.
Not long after, thick smoke billowed over the small courtyard, as if there was a fire.
It has snowed recently and the firewood is relatively moist. If it is not dried in advance, it will emit a little smoke when burning.
"on fire?"
In the south courtyard next door, Master Leru noticed the billowing smoke rising from Ye Xuanji's courtyard and looked startled.
The fire doesn't seem to be big. Do you want to help?
After thinking about it, Le Ru, who was bored, walked out of his yard and walked towards the small yard next door.
Even if you are free, you can go and see the excitement.
Soon, Leru came to Ye Xuanji's small courtyard, took a look at the situation inside, and shouted, "Ye Jiaoxi, what happened, do you need help?"
"fine."
In the courtyard, Ye Xuanji, who was making a fire to cook, heard the commotion outside and responded casually. After answering, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "Just in time, Master Leru, if nothing happens, can help you try the dishes. I'll be there soon." Do it well.”
"good."
Outside the courtyard, Leru heard Ye Xuanji's invitation and walked into the courtyard openly.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ye Xuanji put the fried vegetables on a plate and brought them into the room. She took the bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Le Ru. She said politely, "Master Zhang, please have a taste."
"Haha, it looks good at first glance. Let me try it."
Le Ru took the bowl and chopsticks and praised them politely. Then he picked up a few slices of green vegetables and some mushy stuff and stuffed them into his mouth without thinking too much.
In a flash.
Leru's body froze, his whole body froze, his tongue trembled, and he didn't even dare to move his mouth.
Le Ru, who has lived for decades, has experienced all kinds of hardships and seen all kinds of storms. He believes that no matter what happens, he can be calm and calm.
However, it was not until today that Le Ru realized that he had overestimated himself.
At the table, Le Ru's hands holding the bowls and chopsticks began to tremble involuntarily, and almost half of his face was numb.
"Master, how are you doing?"
Ye Xuanji saw the reaction of the person in front of her and asked.
"Night, teach at night."
Le Ru asked tremblingly, "Have you ever tasted the food you cooked?"
"Have tasted it."
Ye Xuanji said calmly, "However, I have no sense of taste and can't taste anything."
Hearing this, Le Ru was shocked. He swallowed everything in his mouth, grinned and said, "It's delicious."
Hearing the former's answer, Ye Xuanji showed a satisfied smile on her face and responded, "That's good. If it's delicious, eat more."
"good."
Le Ru looked at the plate full of cabbage and the paste that he didn't know, and he wanted to cry. At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself.
He is really idle. He should have known a long time ago that there is no way that a normal woman can enter the Taixue Palace.
"Brother Li, are you saying that Sister Ye has no sense of taste?"
At the same time, Xiao Xiao, who had just come out of Jingmu Mansion, was shocked when he heard the words of the people around him and asked in disbelief.
"Um."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "Do you know why Uncle Chao and the others, like Sister Ye, are practicing Taoist innate Qi, but the strength of their true energy is far less than that of Sister Ye?"
"Is it related to Sister Ye's lack of taste?" Xiao Xiao asked in confusion.
"right."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "In the first chapter of the Dao Sect, there is a forbidden technique that can exponentially enhance one's own power at the expense of the five senses. Sister Ye has practiced this technique. Losing the sense of taste is just the beginning."
