Gu Yanyue immediately fell in love with the black and gold mask in the second row, which was a half-pig shape.

A slender jade finger pointed from a distance, "Shopkeeper, I want this."

"Oh, okay!"

She took the mask handed over by the shopkeeper, and the mischievous smile on her face was hidden by the veil. Only her pair of peach blossom eyes, as clear as a spring, were smiling. She put the mask on Yu Wenran's pretty face without saying a word.

Yu Wenran watched helplessly as Gu Yanyue put the pig mask on his face, but he couldn't feel angry at all.

He raised his hand and took off a crimson fox mask and put it on Gu Yanyue's face.

Looking at the peach blossom eyes with slightly raised corners, a look of surprise appeared from the eyes of the fox mask.

Just like a little fox, it was exactly what he thought.

Yuwen Ran took out his purse with satisfaction, took out two silver ingots from it and gave them to the shopkeeper.

Gu Yanyue was dumbfounded. Although she had just arrived here and was not very clear about how much one ingot of silver was equivalent to in RMB, she could see that these two small masks would not cost that much.

The shopkeeper was pleasantly surprised and quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much, sir. I wish you and the young lady a long and happy marriage."

Just as Gu Yanyue was about to speak, Yu Wenran suddenly touched her head.

She turned back blankly, wondering why he suddenly touched her head.

Yu Wenran calmly withdrew his hand and rubbed his fingertips in his wide sleeves.

It really feels good to touch.

She came to her senses and decided not to dwell on the matter.

Gu Yanyue pulled Yu Wenran's sleeve and walked forward with full energy, "Come on, I'll take you shopping for groceries and make you something delicious."

Yuwen Ran frowned and thought speechlessly, I, the emperor, never thought that one day I would be reduced to buying my own groceries.

The two came to a vegetable shop, and the owner enthusiastically asked them what they wanted to buy.

"I want some glutinous rice flour and black sesame seeds."

She turned around and said to Yuwen Ran with a smile: "Go back, I will make you a delicious dessert."

Yu Wenran responded indifferently: "Yeah." Although he didn't know what it was, he was looking forward to it.

Inside the magnificent bedroom filled with rare treasures, a thin smoke curled up from the incense burner. Behind a landscape screen, a slender and graceful woman rested on a beauty couch with her head propped up and her beautiful eyes closed.

A palace maid came in hurriedly from the door, walked quickly to Gu Yanrou's ear, and said something.

Gu Yanrou opened her almond-shaped eyes immediately, sat up suddenly, and threw all the rouge and powder on the small sandalwood table next to her to the ground.

The palace maids were frightened by Gu Yanrou and knelt on the ground, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

“Damn it, damn it!”

Gu Yanrou's eyes were filled with anger and jealousy. She sat on the couch, clutching the soft quilt with her slender fingers, and trembling slightly with jealousy.

Why is it her again? Why is it that bitch again? On what basis can she and His Majesty go out of the palace alone to attend the Lantern Festival?

Why is she favored by His Majesty? I am obviously several times better than her, but I can only stay alone in the palace, waiting for His Majesty to come and see her.

When she was almost twisted with jealousy, she suddenly saw a red agate bracelet on a table not far away.

Gu Yanrou thought of something and calmed down all of a sudden. She walked over, took the bracelet in her hand, and looked at it thoughtfully.

An idea slowly emerged in her mind.

A woman in a dark purple chiffon dress was lazily lying on a desk made of crimson yellow wood. Her phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing a serious expression. Her fair hands were holding a white jade-handled brush, practicing calligraphy on a piece of white paper.

A palace maid came over and whispered to the woman, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou requests an audience."

The woman raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, and after a brief moment of thought, she understood. She gently put down her writing brush, stood up, and said, "Take her to the main hall."

Gu Yanrou came into the hall and looked up to see Su Xue'e sitting in the main seat in the hall. She thought, why are you pretending? Isn't she just a few days earlier than me?

Her face remained expressionless. She walked in front of Su Xue'e and bowed slightly: "Sister greets sister."

Su Xue'e immediately noticed the red agate bracelet that Gu Yanrou had deliberately exposed on her fair wrist, and chuckled, "How have you been lately, sister?"

Gu Yanrou tucked her hair behind her ears and teased, "His Majesty only favors the Empress, what else can we do?"

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and gave Su Xue'e a look.

Su Xue'e understood and waved her hand to let all the palace maids leave: "You can leave first."

After the maids left, Gu Yanrou said, "Let me be frank. Your Majesty and that bitch are attending the Lantern Festival outside the palace today. Did you know?"

Su Xue'e was not surprised at all by Gu Yanrou's address to Gu Yanyue and smiled, "Yes, Your Majesty and Sister have a very good relationship."

Gu Yanrou said coldly: "Stop pretending, I know you hate that idiot too, let's join forces."

"oh?"

Su Xue'e raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yanrou.

"Don't miss it if you're passing by. Even His Majesty praised the Pearl Jade White Jade Soup. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"

Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran were attracted by the shouting.

She looked at Yu Wenran curiously and asked, "Have you ever had that Pearl Jade White Jade Soup? Is it really that delicious?"

Yu Wenran said bewilderedly, "What is this Pearl Jade White Jade Soup? I've never had it before."

Gu Yanyue understood. It turned out that the ancients also engaged in false advertising like this. She brought Yu Wenran to the stall out of curiosity.

"Is this the Pearl Jade White Jade Soup you mentioned?"

She looked at the soup made of white tofu and bok choy in front of her with disappointment.

"Yes." said the boss proudly.

Gu Yanyue shook her head and said to the boss, "You're exaggerating! This smells like just an ordinary tofu and cabbage soup. How can it be called Pearl Jade White Jade Soup?"

Upon hearing this, the boss was embarrassed and annoyed, "Where did you come from, you little scoundrel, to say that about my Pearl Jade White Jade Soup?"

He snorted coldly, "When I was cooking, you were still a baby, and you dare to comment on my food like this."

Gu Yanyue was embarrassed. She looked at the ingredients and said to the boss, "How about we have a competition? Let's cook this dish together and see who makes the best one."

The boss chuckled and said, "Okay, if I lose, you can order whatever you want from here."

Gu Yanyue readily agreed.

There was a crowd of people gathered around to watch the fun.

Yu Wenran stood upright behind Gu Yanyue, waiting for her.

Gu Yanyue rolled up her sleeves, picked up a kitchen knife and started spinning it in her hand. The heavy knife was like a hairpin in her hand, which scared the people in the front row so much that they took a step back and stepped on the feet of the people behind them.

She first neatly cut the onion segments and ginger slices, and the cut onion segments and ginger slices were so neat that they looked like some kind of handicraft.

When the people around saw this, they were all amazed at Gu Yanyue's knife skills.

She put a ladle of water in the pot, brought it to a boil over medium heat, and added scallion and ginger slices.
