Wan Ge reached out to take it, but Feng Chenjiu told her it was okay, he would carry it for her, since it was only a few steps away anyway.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Wan Ge said, "I heard that Your Highness cooked in person?"

Feng Chenjiu replied with a proud expression, "Yes, take a look and see if they are all things you like. I specifically asked your maid about your preferences."

"Your Highness, you are the Crown Prince of the country, how could you do such a thing?"

"Why not? I am not only the Crown Prince, but also your husband. What's wrong with me cooking for my wife?"

Looking at him like this, Wan Ge felt that His Highness was becoming more and more different from when she first met him.

When he appeared, he always gave off an aura of unapproachability, radiating a dangerous presence. But now, he was very gentle, shy, and adorable.

If he had remained aloof, Wan Ge might not have been moved. But faced with Feng Chenjiu like this, Wan Ge truly had no resistance whatsoever.

Moreover, he was genuinely moved by what Feng Chenjiu said. Unlike Feng Yimu, he didn't feel threatened by the Jiang family, much less would he discard them after they had served their purpose.

A woman will eventually have to get married. If she marries someone of lower status than herself, someone she would marry as if she were helping someone in need, then Wange would definitely not dare to marry.

It's said that those of lower status dare not act recklessly, but after experiencing something like what happened to Feng Yimu, I know he really wouldn't dare to do that again.

Who knows if he'll be outwardly respectful to her, but secretly plot against her dowry and assets, or try to cause her some trouble?

Marrying into a family of equal social standing and becoming the matriarch of a prominent household is fine, but if you marry badly, you might face constant nagging from your mother-in-law.

Although her father and brothers would certainly not ignore her, what could they do about a married daughter like her?

If it were someone like Feng Chenjiu, even if there were an empress dowager in the future, she wouldn't be her biological daughter, and she would still consider her own position and wouldn't do anything too outrageous.

Moreover, once she becomes the queen, all power and status belong to her; she is second only to the emperor and above all others. Apart from the emperor, she does not need to be subservient to anyone else.

Even if he has three thousand concubines in the future, as long as she doesn't cause trouble, he will still cherish this youthful affection. After all, she is his first woman, so things will probably be a little different for him.

If it can be confirmed that one family is safe, Feng Chenjiu is undoubtedly the best choice.

…

"Ge'er, why are you crying?" Feng Chenjiu hurriedly wiped away her tears.

Wan Ge touched it and realized she was really crying.

Feng Chenjiu took a bite of the lotus-shaped pastry in her hand. It tasted pretty good. He couldn't have made her cry because his cooking was so bad, could he?

"Is it not tasty? If it's not tasty, then we won't eat it."

Wan Ge quickly shook her head: "No, it's delicious. It's the best lotus flower pastry I've ever eaten."

"Ah?" So delicious I could cry? Is my culinary skills really that good?

Feng Chenjiu kissed her forehead: "If you like it, I'll make it for you often in the future."

It's not that he doesn't want to make them every day, it's just that peach blossom pastries are a bit too sweet, and eating too many sweets isn't good for your health. He might not care now that he's young, but what about later?

Eating too much sugary food is bad for middle-aged and elderly people. He also wanted Ge'er to stay healthy and accompany him for the rest of his life, so of course he had to consider her health.

"Okay." Wan Ge didn't care whether it was sweet talk or not, she just liked hearing it.
