“Okay.” Su Lixia raised an eyebrow. I may not have eaten it in the Central Plains, but I’ve definitely eaten it in the 21st century.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the central hall, which was just behind the screen behind the main seat in the hall. It was only a few steps away.

"No wonder I smelled a fragrance."

Lin Ziwen laughed and said, "The dishes haven't even been served yet. How did the princess smell them? Are you hungry? You were just being shy earlier."

Su Lixia waved her hand: "No, no, I'm not hungry. It's probably just that the aroma of the food wafted over and I smelled it."

After saying that, Lin Ziwen pointed to the seat next to Yi Zexuan, indicating that she should sit down. Su Lixia's lips twitched, and she manually adjusted her seat so that Lin Ziwen could sit next to her, and then sat down next to Lin Ziwen.

Noticing everyone's gazes, Su Lixia smiled and said, "This is the custom of our Central Plains. As a newcomer, I am a guest, not a host, so please sit here."

"Serve the food," Yi Zexuan gestured.

The two men first carried a large stove to the center of the table, and then another man placed the already roasted lamb leg on it, while the young man continued roasting.

Su Lixia was taken aback. This was amazing! Barbecue! She hadn't eaten anything other than roast duck since she arrived!

Before long, all the other dishes were served, and each person had a small hot pot in front of them, with broth bubbling inside.

Hot pot and barbecue? Su Lixia was glad she came to eat.

“The princess may not have eaten these before, but they are all easy to prepare. She will learn them after just a few glances.” Lin Ziwen’s eyes never left the table as he watched Su Lixia, and he felt that she didn’t know how to do them, or that this was the first time she had ever seen them.

Su Lixia smiled awkwardly and explained, "I've seen it where I'm from, but the ones here are a bit more high-end. Maybe they're the authentic ones from the local area."

Yi Zexuan picked up his chopsticks and started scalding the hot pot himself.

In the early winter, the book described Yi Zexuan and others eating hot pot, but I never expected that I would witness it myself in the sweltering heat.

Fortunately, it was already evening, and there was some draft in the central hall, but it was still hot around these buildings.

Su Lixia wiped her face with a handkerchief; all the powder had come off! Her makeup was smudged!

Turning to Xiaolian, he asked in a friendly manner, "Is your face smudged? Has your makeup come off?"

Xiaolian shook her head and said, "No, no." As she spoke, she reached out and wiped her face.

Su Lixia narrowed her eyes. Okay, no need to explain. As long as it doesn't scare anyone.

"The roast meat at the Prince's Mansion is absolutely amazing. Even if the princess has eaten it elsewhere, it certainly won't taste as good as the one at the Prince's Mansion." As he spoke, Lin Ziwen picked up a knife, sliced ​​off a piece of meat, cut it into smaller pieces, and handed it to Su Lixia.

The latter smiled, accepted the gift, said thank you, and then ate it.

"how?"

Su Lixia nodded and said, "It's really delicious, even better than the food stalls near my house. It's amazing."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback. Lin Ziwen asked in confusion, "Your home?"

Su Lixia wanted to pat her own mouth, gave an awkward smile, and explained, "Yes, for this princess, the palace is home, and we've even imitated this food before, right, Xiao Lian?"

Xiao Lian was suddenly called upon and didn't quite understand what was going on, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Ah, right! That's right!"

Lin Ziwen shrugged: "That's true. Since the princess likes to eat it, then let her eat more. It should still be roasting over there."

Su Lixia waved her hand and said, "No need, no need, that's enough. Xiao Lian, go get some wine."

"Yes." After saying that, Xiaolian turned to leave, but was stopped by Uncle Li.

"The princess's things have already been taken to the backyard to be packed. Perhaps the young lady doesn't know where they are. Why don't I go to the kitchen and fetch some wine?"

Yi Zexuan looked up and said coldly, "The kitchen actually overlooked this. Punish them."

"This..." Uncle Li was taken aback. It was a rule set by the prince himself that guests were not allowed to drink alcohol in the central hall.
