Chapter 545: Female Hero
"What are you afraid of? If I try to please them, will they stop bothering me?" Xiao Jiuyue didn't care at all. She said, "Du Ting suffered such a huge loss today. Let's just treat this as the consequences of the plot against me that day!"
Her horse was shot by an arrow, and Du Ting hired someone to do it.
"Send more people to keep an eye on it so nothing goes wrong in the restaurant." Xiao Jiuyue reminded them. She didn't care at all about their leaving. As for whether Du Ting would retaliate against her?
She did nothing, but Du Ting didn't let her go. Now she is about to become the second prince's concubine. In terms of status, they are irreconcilable.
"Hey, why is Du Ting gone?" The Fifth Princess returned after winning the competition and didn't see Du Ting. She asked, "Didn't they say Feng Yan was coming? Why are they all gone?"
"I don't know. They were chatting in the side room and didn't want to be disturbed. They left before His Highness finished the competition. I guess something happened?" Xiao Jiuyue answered casually. After all, it was just a quarrel between Du Ting and Feng Yan, and it had nothing to do with her.
"Oh." The fifth princess didn't ask any more questions and happily talked about her recent victory.
Xiao Jiuyue immediately congratulated him, "Your Highness the Fifth Princess is truly amazing at pot-tossing. You're truly a heroine."
A heroine!
She likes it!
The Fifth Princess' eyes narrowed with laughter. Looking at Princess Mu Xi, who looked doubtful about her life, she stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "Princess Mu Xi, you are also very kind. When you stay in Nanyue, we can often compete and go hunting. How about we compete again when the time comes?"
"Okay." Princess Mu Xi said unyieldingly, "Next time, I will definitely beat you!"
"Then let's wait and see." The fifth princess held her head high with pride. Anyway, she would not lose!
Xiao Jiuyue took the opportunity to smooth things over, saying, "Is everyone tired? The hot pot is ready. Has everyone made room for us?"
As soon as Xiao Jiuyue's humorous words came out, everyone burst into laughter. In the side room, the new style of hot pot and the double-flavored hot pot base caught everyone's attention.
A red soup and a clear soup were bubbling. When I walked into the side room, the smell of the hot pot filled the room and hit my nose.
"It smells so good!" The Sixth Princess swallowed her saliva. What kind of delicacies had she not eaten? But looking at this hot pot, she couldn't help swallowing.
Mutton rolls, beef rolls, tripe, duck blood, shredded potatoes, as well as various fish balls and meatballs specially made by Xiao Jiuyue. Xiao Jiuyue is very creative in the dishes. Even before you eat them, they are already pleasing to the eye!
Xiao Jiuyue was carefully introducing the food to everyone, and soon she found that there was no need for any introduction. Everyone was busy eating the hot pot. Even if they were noble ladies from Shengjing, princesses from Nanyue or Yongzhao, everyone was equal in front of the food!
At first, everyone was a little reserved, but as they ate further, they started to treat each other like sisters and their eating manners gradually became more relaxed.
"To eat meat, you have to grab the big bones and chew them, it's refreshing!" Princess Mu Xi took the big bones and ate the meat on them. She felt like she was back in Yongzhao. She praised, "Miss Xiao, this is my first time eating your hot pot. I will definitely come here often in the future."
"Me too." The Sixth Princess buried her head in eating tripe and said, "I like tripe. It's crispy and crunchy, and it's the best!"
"I like mutton rolls and beef rolls." Wu Liu Gong loves to eat all kinds of meat rolls, and there are also big knife beef slices, which have no fishy smell at all. The taste in her mouth is something she has never felt before, and it is especially delicious!
"Everyone is welcome to come often." Xiao Jiuyue smiled. These noble ladies with extremely picky tastes all like it. It can be predicted that Fengchunlou's business will be very popular every day this winter.
She said, "I've prepared rice milk for everyone, homemade rice milk, orange juice, orange fruit tea, and desserts, orange jelly. Take a look and see what you like!"
"By the way, there's another one you're sure to like, milk tea!" Xiao Jiuyue found a farm raising dairy cows and bought all the milk there, preparing to supply it to Fengchunlou to make milk tea.
Everyone was particularly curious when they heard about the various drinks, especially the milk tea. But when they tasted it, they were shocked again...
The same shock occurred not only in Xiao Jiuyue's room, but also in the customers who were eating there for the first time. Whether it was hot pot or the new drinks, they all became everyone's favorites!
There is no doubt that the popularity of Fengchunlou was foreseeable.
Xiao Jiuyue's banquet was also very worthwhile. Whether it was the Fifth Princess, the Sixth Princess, or Princess Mu Xi of Yongzhao, they all praised it highly.
No matter what happens in the future, at least I am happy today.
After the banquet ended, Xiao Tingwu said happily, "Sister Jiuyue, it turns out that Her Royal Highness the Princess isn't that high and mighty after all."
Today she had a very pleasant time with the Sixth Princess. They were of similar age and it seemed as if they had endless things to talk about. Knowing that Princess could make jewelry with velvet and paper flowers, she even asked her for some!
"Princess is also a human being. In the palace, those maids flatter her, the concubines scheme against each other, and my mother has done too much for them. It is not easy to be respectful and cautious in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
It is true that if you wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Although a princess seems to have infinite glory, she also has to bear much more than an ordinary girl.
If you encounter a weak country like Yongzhao and send her to a foreign country for marriage, you may never be able to go back!
Princess Mu Xi's temperament is relatively good. If she encounters someone who is more introverted, who cannot speak the language, understand the food, the customs, or adapt to the local climate, I am afraid that these external factors may cost her life.
"Yes, but Her Royal Highness the Princess has a very good personality, and the Fifth Princess is also very nice. It's just that they are a little hostile towards Sister Jiuyue, right? I noticed that the Fifth Princess has been secretly looking at Sister Jiuyue." Xiao Tingwu was careful and although he had been chatting with the Fifth Princess, he was also paying attention to other people.
"Yes, I feel that way too." Xiao Yurong echoed, "Sister, have you ever offended her before? That shouldn't be the case. The Fifth Princess just returned to Shengjing, and this is the first time we've met."
"The Fifth Princess likes Mr. Jiang. Maybe she misunderstood." Xiao Jiuyue knew exactly what the Fifth Princess was thinking. Maybe she wanted to observe her?
But, hasn’t everything been made clear?
…
"Fifth sister, haven't you and Lord Jiang been in Hongdu for such a long time? Didn't you say that the emperor would grant you a marriage? Why are you still looking at Sister Xiao? Sister Xiao will soon be the third sister-in-law. From now on, I can go to dinner with you with good reason!"
The Sixth Princess felt much better when she thought about having dinner with Sister Xiao in the future.
"Sixth sister, do you think Miss Xiao likes Third Brother?" The Fifth Princess' eyes flashed slightly. After this meal, she found that Xiao Jiuyue was very good at socializing, could chat with anyone, and knew a lot!
Chatting with her gives me the feeling of being a soulmate!
