Gu Yanrou understood that this was her favorite dish that her mother had specially asked the chef to make.

She was very hungry for these delicacies and ate them voraciously.

On the other side, Yu Wenran was worried about the food on the table.

He looked at the dishes expressionlessly, smelled the odor of the food, and even felt a little nauseous.

In his eyes, these dishes are no different from garbage.

Prime Minister Gu saw that Yuwen Ran hadn't touched his chopsticks. Puzzled, he put down his own chopsticks and asked, "Your Majesty, why aren't you touching your chopsticks? Is the food prepared by the kitchen not to your liking?"

Yuwen Ran looked at the unsightly food in front of him and couldn't help but say, "To be honest, Prime Minister, these dishes are too disgusting. I have no appetite."

Prime Minister Gu looked at the meal in front of him, which he was eating with gusto, and said awkwardly, "So that's the reason."

He beckoned a maid over and said solemnly, "Ask the kitchen to prepare a few more delicious dishes to entertain Your Majesty."

Yu Wenran felt a headache after hearing this. He stood up and waved his hand, saying, "No need. I'll take the Queen to the kitchen to cook a dish."

After saying that, he took Gu Yanyue's hand and was about to leave.

Madam Qin, who was standing below, quickly stood up and walked over to Yuwen Ran to stop the two of them. She said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please stop joking about this. My daughter Yanyue has been stupid since she was young. She can't learn anything, let alone cooking."

She looked at Gu Yanyue jokingly, then covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, "Your Majesty, please don't take Yanyue to the kitchen. As her mother, I don't want her to embarrass herself in public."

Yu Wenran frowned as he looked at Madam Qin, who stopped him, and said in a deep voice, "If Madam Qin doesn't believe me, you can come with me to the kitchen and take a look."

After saying that, he ignored what the people behind him said and directly pulled Gu Yanyue towards the small kitchen.

Gu Yanrou was extremely angry. She glared at the food that was only a little left after she had eaten it, but Yu Wenran said that it was food that made her sick just by looking at it!

What?! I didn't expect the emperor to have such poor taste.

He cursed Yuwen Ran in his heart, but he felt even more dissatisfied.

It was clearly delicious food in her eyes, but in Yu Wenran's mouth, it was disgusting just by looking at it.

But he also took the initiative to ask Gu Yanyue to cook for him personally.

What’s so delicious about the rice made from that straw bag?

Gu Yanrou couldn't help but feel angry and confused.

I have heard for a long time that Gu Yanyue used her excellent cooking skills to seduce Yu Wenran to always go to her palace.

She went to tell Mrs. Qin about it. Mrs. Qin, who was originally waiting to see Gu Yanyue make a fool of herself, now became curious.

Thinking of this, the mother and daughter followed him to the small kitchen.

…

Gu Yanyue came to the small kitchen and felt that the depressing atmosphere at the dinner party had finally disappeared.

He stretched lazily.

Then he began to look around the kitchen for the ingredients and seasonings available.

As expected of the Prime Minister’s Residence, the food is really diverse and has everything you could want.

She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, saying that it was not much worse than the imperial kitchen in the palace.

When he was hesitating about what to do, he suddenly remembered the Pearl Jade Soup that Yuwen Ran had been talking about in the carriage. He couldn't help laughing. A simple cabbage and tofu soup actually made the emperor miss it for so long.

Then I decided to make Pearl Jade White Jade Soup!

She did it as soon as she said it. She rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands and started making it.

First, cut the milky white and soft tofu into several pieces of evenly sized cubes.

The small tofu cubes lined up obediently, waiting for their owner to season them and put them into the pot.

He then quickly cut the tender white scallions and ginger slices.

Heat oil over medium heat and add scallions and ginger slices to the pot. Then add an appropriate amount of water, cover the tofu in the pot, and finally add salt and other seasonings.

The Pearl Jade White Jade Soup is ready.

She poured the Pearl Jade White Jade Soup into a small bowl, placed it on the wooden table, and took it out.

When they arrived at the hall, everyone was already waiting impatiently.

Yu Wenran wanted to eat the Pearl Jade White Jade Soup that he had been longing for as soon as possible.

Prime Minister Gu and Madam Qin wanted to see what tricks their second daughter could come up with.

Gu Yanrou looked at Gu Yanyue hatefully.

Gu Yanyue walked into the hall carrying a bowl of Pearl Jade White Jade Soup. Even before the lid was opened, Gu Yanrou could smell the aroma of the food inside.

She brought a bowl of soup to Yuwen Ran and opened the lid. Suddenly, the aroma filled the entire hall.

Everyone was surprised. The fragrance made them salivate. It was truly an enchanting aroma.

Just by smelling this flavor, you can already feel how delicious it will taste.

Yu Wenran picked up the jade spoon, scooped up a piece of tender and smooth white tofu, and put it into his mouth.

He hummed in appreciation and began to eat it spoonful by spoonful.

Everyone looked at Yu Wenran with envy as he ate such delicious food wantonly, and swallowed their saliva.

Gu Yanrou's almond-shaped eyes were red as she looked at Yuwen Ran who was eating so happily. She thought to herself: Is this the way Gu Yanyue seduced Yuwen Ran?

She looked at the food she loved with disappointment as Yu Wenran left it aside and treated it like trash, while the simple tofu soup made by Gu Yanyue was actually treasured by Yu Wenran!

This comparison made her feel even more unbalanced.

Why is it that in Yu Wenran's heart, Gu Yanyue is better than her in everything she does?

Why can Gu Yanyue always stand in Yu Wenran's eyes?

Why does Yu Wenran always keep his eyes on Gu Yanyue?

She stood up and said to Gu Yanyue in a disdainful voice, "What kind of delicacy did the Empress cook? His Majesty likes it so much. I wonder if we have the same good fortune as the Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenran looked up at Gu Yanrou.

Gu Yanyue smiled and looked back at Gu Yanrou, who was standing in her seat and glaring at her, and responded, "Of course, my sister can eat it."

Gu Yanrou immediately asked Yan'er to go to the kitchen to get a bowl.

After Yan'er brought it over, Gu Yanrou looked at the Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup. The Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup looked very delicious, with a milky white soup base and cute and well-proportioned small tofu. Some of them were hidden under the soup, while others had a small tip showing, like a white boat.

Gu Yanrou swallowed her saliva, picked up the jade spoon, scooped up a mouthful, and put it into her mouth.

She was suddenly startled, and the food was so delicious that she immediately forgot what the food she had eaten before tasted like.

She couldn't control herself and ate spoonful after spoonful of the Pearl Jade White Jade Soup.

She felt Gu Yanyue's gaze as she chuckled. She was angry but didn't know how to vent.

She couldn't stand Gu Yanyue's teasing gaze, so she finished a bowl of Pearl Jade White Jade Soup with gritted teeth, then lowered her eyes and raised her head.

Looking at Gu Yanyue, unwilling to accept it, he could only whisper, "I was rude. The Queen's cooking skills are indeed excellent."
