Chapter 193: Concubine Power

"It's just some ingredients." Nan Jiangnan tightened her grip on the food box in her hand and did not open it in front of Shangguan Xiaoyu.

It's not that I don't want to show Shangguan Juvenile what's inside, I just don't think it's necessary. After all, what's inside is just some ingredients, nothing special.

"You entered the palace directly without finishing the work? Jiang Nan, don't you think your behavior is too bold? What should you do if you fail?"

Shangguan Young Fish originally thought that since Nan Jiangnan was so determined to enter the palace, he must have prepared everything. The food should be more exciting and eye-catching.

But what she didn't expect was that Nan Jiangnan was not prepared at all. The things he brought into the palace were actually ingredients. How could this be successful?

"Don't worry, since I dare to take only the ingredients, it proves that I am fully confident in completing this matter. I only have one chance, so naturally I won't use it as a bet."

Nan Jiangnan smiled and shook her head. She understood the worries of the person in front of her. But as the person involved, she knew what she was doing.

There is only one chance, and Nan Jiangnan has no qualifications to act nonsense. Even if her current behavior seems to be a bit nonsense...

"There's only so much we can do to help you. I just hope that the powerful concubine likes what you make." Shangguan Xiaoyu sighed worriedly.

She didn't know how to cook, and she didn't understand what the favorite things of the powerful concubine who had been in the palace for a long time were. Shangguan Youyu knew very well that she couldn't give Nan Jiangnan any help.

So when I saw her like this, I couldn't do anything except worry. I just hoped that everything would go as they wished and have a good outcome.

"No need to be sad, I only brought ingredients because some things must be cooked and eaten fresh. You happen to be here today, so you can try the pastries that I am famous for in my hometown."

Nan Jiangnan smiled and patted the person in front of her on the shoulder. She knew Shangguan Xiaoyu was worried. But as a qualified cook, she had to ensure that the food she cooked was fresh and delicious, right?

What's more, under such circumstances?

It's just that Shangguan Youyu didn't understand Nan Jiangnan's plan, and all her words were just excuses to appease herself.

Shangguan Xiaoyu shook his head and seemed to not want to say anything more. Nan Jiangnan raised his eyebrows and sat in the car obediently without saying anything more.

After all, the palace is different from other places. When they were outside the palace, they could still talk and laugh. But as soon as they entered the palace, Shangguan Xiaoyu's expression instantly became serious.

Even though the two of them were in their own carriage, Shangguan Xiaoyu straightened her back, completely different from her usual gentle self.

As if influenced by the people around him, Nan Jiangnan straightened his back subconsciously, and all the jokes on his face disappeared.

In fact, she had just talked so much with Shangguan Xiaoyu, and her actions didn't seem to take the matter to heart, but Nan Jiangnan was still worried.

Things that can only be challenged once will put the greatest pressure on them. What was Nan Jiangnan before? She was a salty fish! Of course she can do well in things without pressure.

But today is different from the past. Nan Jiangnan is not completely sure that she can win the favor of others. But when she thinks that all this is for Shen Jianxin, she feels a little more courageous.

The journey from Prime Minister Chen's Mansion to the Palace of the Powerful Concubine was not a long one. The two of them staggered in the carriage, but they arrived there in just two-quarters of an hour.

Although Concubine Quan was the emperor's favorite concubine, she had not seen anyone from her mother's family for a long time. Knowing that it was Shangguan Xiaoyu who had arrived, she immediately welcomed the two of them into the palace happily.

As soon as they realized their purpose, the powerful concubine immediately frowned and seemed a little dissatisfied: "So this matter was arranged by your father?"

"I saw that this cook is very special in cooking, and I thought that the imperial concubine would like her cooking skills, so I asked someone to bring her into the palace. If there is any offense, please forgive the imperial concubine."

After all, the powerful concubine held a high position, so Shangguan Xiaoyu did not approach her directly as soon as she arrived. Instead, she lowered her head and answered the words of the person in front of her with a serious face.

Seeing this, Nan Jiangnan immediately lowered her head. In this situation, she didn't know what to say at all. But it would be wrong to say too much. She said nothing, which may be the most correct choice.

"What kind of cook can be better than the royal cook in the palace? Xiaoyu, you are simple-minded, you won't be deceived by this cook, right?"

Shangguan Youyu spoke with great sincerity. Of course, the powerful concubine had no reason to doubt her. Then she squinted her eyes and looked at Nan Jiangnan carefully.

She was just an ordinary woman, with nothing outstanding about her. Concubine Quan didn't think that such a person could impress Shangguan Xiaoyu.

"Perhaps the empress has heard of the newly opened restaurant in the capital, Chunfeng Deyi Restaurant?"

The answer was as expected. Seeing that Concubine Quan had taken the bait, Shangguan Youyu immediately looked at her with a smile and said softly: "This is the boss and chef of Chunfeng Deyilou."

"I heard that your anorexia was cured by her, right? I really can't believe that such a woman can cook to this level?"

Concubine Quan raised her eyebrows. Naturally, she had heard about the recent opening of Chunfeng Deyilou in Beijing. Of course, she had also heard about the case of Shangguan Xiaoyu being cured of anorexia.

At first, Concubine Quan thought that these were just words from outsiders and could not be taken seriously. But when she saw how insistent Shangguan Xiaoyu was, her eyes moved to the food box in Nan Jiangnan's hand.

"If that's the case, then what kind of rare things did you bring to me today? Ever since you came in, I haven't had the slightest smell of food in your documents. Is what you packed here really food?"

"When I return to the imperial concubine, the common people only have ingredients in their hands. Please also ask the imperial concubine to lend you the small kitchen. It only takes two-quarters of an hour to serve the meal to the imperial concubine."

Seeing Concubine Quan looking at him, Nan Jiangnan slowly stepped forward and lowered his head and whispered: "Some things are most delicious only when they are out of the pot."

"Bold! You have not prepared anything, so what qualifications do you have to talk nonsense to the empress here!" When the maid next to the powerful concubine heard what Nan Jiangnan said, she immediately came out and scolded her in disbelief.

"No problem." Concubine Quan waved her hand and said: "I can lend you the small kitchen, but you must think it through. You have said it for such a reason. If you don't come up with something that satisfies me,

Eat to punish your sins!"
