It was because Yan Langqing developed the dish "Wanfu Meat" that she stood out at the birthday party and was summoned by the emperor to be an imperial chef. However, it turned out that this so-called famous dish was actually her who stole the efforts of others. Although Lin Dan had no evidence, she could use a few pieces of tofu to completely restore the color, fragrance and taste of Wanfu Meat, and it was even better than Yan Langqing, which was enough to prove the authenticity of her words.

What's more, her father's two apprentices work as chefs in the Yan family restaurant, and they are holding a lot of money every month. As long as they are asked to question them, it is not difficult to find the truth.

However, the emperor did not care about these things. He was the lord of the world. He wanted to protect whom he could not easily touch others. So he took Yan Langqing away without asking about the crime of deceiving the emperor. The competition ended in a hurry. Fortunately, Lin Dan did not care about these things. She wrapped the golden knife and the recipe in red silk and slowly left the fragrant garden.

Tang Jiu followed her and whispered: "No wonder you told me not to worry too much. Have you thought of a solution long ago?"

Before Lin Dan answered, Marquis Weiyuan had already strode over and laughed and said, "Shopkeeper Lin, I have a wife of thirty-nine years this year. I have died of illness. I have no children, no daughters, and no concubines at home. I am powerful, powerful and capable. If you don't dislike me, how about a hundred-year agreement with me?"

Lin Dan looked at him in surprise and couldn't speak for a long time.

Tang Jiu frowned fiercely and scolded: "Mr. Marquis, don't make such jokes randomly. Be careful not to ruin the reputation of Manager Lin!"

"When did I joke? I am serious. If I could marry a woman like Manager Lin, who is extremely intelligent and virtuous, I don't know how many years I have cultivated. Prince Tang, you are so anxious, wouldn't you have any unfair thoughts about Manager Lin, right?"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Tang Jiu hurriedly turned around to look at Lin Dan, but saw that the other party had been pulled aside by Prince Cheng and Prince Gong and then walked onto the carriage without any nostalgia. For ordinary people, marrying into a high school seems to be a lucky way that cannot be obtained, but for her it seems to be a trouble.

Apart from studying cooking skills, she seemed to have little interest in everything in the world. This contradictory attitude of no desire but extremely serious and conscientious deeply attracted the people around her. Tang Jiu stared at the carriage away with a very frustrated expression. Wei Yuanhou turned the ring on his hand, and his eyes were full of determination.

At the same time, Yan Langqing was kneeling beside the emperor in fear. The other party slowly opened a gray water dumpling and ate it with relish, with a very enjoyable expression.

"I didn't expect that the rice dumplings soaked in gray water would be so delicious. After I went back, I asked the people in the imperial kitchen to think about it carefully and make it as it was." Yan Langqing was by his side, but he never asked her to restore the rice dumplings. It can be seen that the competition just now and the various disputes that followed had greatly reduced his impression of Yan Langqing.

Yan Langqing's face was pale at the moment.

When the carriage passed by Qingyun Lane, the emperor slowly said: "Stop the car and send a few people to seal the Yan family restaurant."

Yan Langqing suddenly raised her head, her eyes showing horror.

The emperor then glanced at her and smiled carelessly: "Why, you faked the imperial edict and bullied the market. You don't think I'll let it go easily, right?" As he spoke, Yan Shouye screamed in anger from the carriage behind him, repeatedly asking the guard why he wanted to seal his shop. The guard pointed to the carriage in front and said it was the emperor's intention. His tongue seemed to be taken away by a cat, and he became silenced in an instant.

The emperor snorted coldly, scaring Yan Langqing to tremble all over. He thought he had completely lost his holy heart, but he didn't expect that the emperor would hold her hand and slow down his tone: "You have been in the palace for seven or eight years, and you can make delicacies at your disposal, and famous chefs from all over the world will be sent by you. What skills do you want to learn, I will let them teach them all. Logically speaking, your attainments will definitely not be worse than Lin Dan, who was from the countryside. But look, you still lost to her today. Even your signature dishes are stolen or plagiarized by others, without any of your own characteristics. It can be seen that you lack a little talent in cooking."

Yan Langqing was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head when the emperor said it. Her pale face turned red little by little, and her heart was filled with embarrassment and shame.

The emperor changed his subject and said, "Since you don't have the talent to be a cook, you can go to the palace to be my woman. I will not treat you badly."

Yan Langqing suddenly looked up and looked at the emperor in surprise. After struggling for a while, she finally nodded. She now has nothing, and she still makes enemies everywhere in the chef world. Even the store has been sealed by the royal family. Where can she live after leaving the palace? However, as the empress, everything is different. She used to serve people, but in the future, she will serve her. Why not do it?

The emperor touched her delicate face, his movements seemed to be very gentle, but his words were filled with coldness, "Since you have entered the palace, please let your family be more at ease. If you cause trouble for me, I will not be sympathetic."

Yan Langqing trembled violently and nodded in fear and fear. In a trance, she did not realize that the emperor who used to respond to her requests and cared for her had completely changed his attitude. He thought Yan Langqing was a simple and kind girl, the last pure land in this dirty palace, but it turned out that she was not at all different from others. She would also plot, plunder, bully the weak, and her family was vulgar, ignorant and domineering, which made him even more annoyed.

The emperor never believed in the saying "out of the mud without being stained". People trapped in the mud will only become dirty because they need to survive, so they will use any means, just like himself. So in an instant, he completely abandoned his longing and favoritism for Yan Langqing, and treated her as an ordinary object of beauty hunting, gave her a sweet date, and tamed her by taming her by taming her. When she was eaten, the freshness would pass, and she would not be different from those concubines who had fallen out of favor.

But Yan Langqing did not guess the emperor's thoughts, and thought that he was always the most special one in the other party's heart, so she plucked up her courage and said, "Your Majesty, can you allow me to stay at home for a while? My father's injuries have not healed, and I want to wait until he is completely healed before returning to the palace."

The emperor looked at her deeply and nodded after a while.

On this side, Lin Dan had already returned to Sanchakou Hutong. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw several young and middle-aged men coming up with joy: "Shopkeeper Lin, you are finally back! When are you going to open a store?"

"I won't open a store anymore, I will leave the capital soon." Lin Dandan waved his hand lightly.

Several men showed a look of losing their parents and wanted to persuade them again, but they saw an eunuch leading a group of guards to come over and sing: "You are Chef Lin Danlin, are you? You won the game today. The emperor gave you a plaque, so you can keep it."

Only then did Lin Dan find that the two guards standing behind him were carrying a square plaque wrapped in satin. After lifting the silk, six large characters of dragons and phoenixes were written in gold paint - the successor of the Golden Sword Imperial Kitchen, and the emperor's private seal was also stamped.

It’s a pity that Lin Dan is no longer interested in these words now, but she still took the plaque, sent the eunuchs and guards away with red envelopes, closed the store door and went to pack up silently. The men standing outside the door were completely dumbfounded and said for a while: “My goodness, the shopkeeper Lin is actually the successor of the Jindao Imperial Kitchen, which is amazing! We eat imperial meals every day!”

"Don't dream about it! Didn't you hear that? Manager Lin is not going to open a shop here! He is the successor of the Jindao Imperial Kitchen. If he wants to open a shop, he will go to Xicheng. Who is patient with cooking two copper plates for us to sell a bowl of noodles?" The other men were full of regret. If they had known that Manager Lin was the successor of the Imperial Kitchen, they would not have cherished her cooking skills so much. Now, it seems that Manager Lin's craftsmanship and character are excellent. Isn't it a blessing for the people of Nancheng to open a shop in Nancheng? It's a pity that they don't know how to cherish their blessings.

Lin Dan packed her luggage and left the capital. Before she arrived at the door, she saw Qi standing at the intersection and looking at her face with a look of worry. She never thought that her daughter would win, and she just hoped that she would come back safely. So, when Lin Dan pulled away the silk cloth and gave her the recipe and Jin Daoliang, she opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

"What is this?" she asked in disbelief.

Lin Dan handed over two things and chuckled, "Mom, I have won my father's things back, please pack it up."

"Win, win? Did you really win?" Qi kept touching the golden knife and the recipe, and gradually burst into laughter, and burst into tears after a while. Over the years, her daughter has traveled around the world and wandered around the world, suffered too many hardships, and suffered too much pain. She felt distressed!

Lin Dan hugged Qi and patted her gently, her voice was very calm, "Mom, it's up here, let's go to another place. The world outside is vast, and there are still many delicious foods waiting for us."

Qi sobbed and nodded, his eyes waving with joy.

This year, it is not easy to go out. We have to prepare a lot of supplies, plan the route, and get the route. We can't just walk. Lin Dan stayed in the suburbs of Beijing for more than a month. Seeing that everything was ready and could set off, a bad news came from the capital - the Yongding Marquis' Mansion was investigated for colluding with foreign thieves, and Concubine Tang was also sent to the cold palace and could not turn over, for fear of the disaster of extermination.

Seeing that the situation changed drastically and if he didn't leave, Lin Dan stayed, and sent Qi away from him, and then sent a servant to the city to find out the news. The situation developed very rapidly, but in just three days, the charges were settled. The female family in the Yongding Marquis' Mansion was exiled for three thousand miles, and all the men were sentenced to beheading.

A few days later, even worse news came. The sixty-eight female relatives in the Yongding Marquis' Mansion could not bear the humiliation and were all hung on the beam, including Concubine Tang in the cold palace. The emperor was very angry about this. He had to ask Tang Jiu and several others to behead him, as if he was very urgent. On the day of beheading, Lin Dan hurried to the court with a huge food box to see Tang Jiu off.
