After thinking it over and over, Su Luo just couldn't bring herself to think about it. Perhaps she had forgotten that she had gone through the same thing.
"Now that Prince Yu has remembered his family, shouldn't he go back to see them?"
"Okay! I'll give them a surprise when we get back."
Su Luo didn't ask where he was from. She took a carriage to the street to buy gifts, and Nangong Chiyu followed her to pick and choose. Everyone was going home, so buying gifts was normal.
Zhao Ruyun has lived a life of luxury for the past two years, but she still maintains a mindset of saving money wherever possible.
On the second floor of a jewelry shop, Su Luo took a fancy to a set of headdress made entirely of turquoise gemstones.
A hair ornament and hairpin, a string of jade beads of the same color, and a pair of bracelets.
"Did you buy this as a gift for your mother-in-law?"
Nangong Chiyu kept staring at Su Luo, noticing that the turquoise set she was looking at was only suitable for older people.
"Hmm! Are you buying this for your family? Do you want me to help you take a look?"
"Okay, I'll buy it if you like it."
Su Luo asked the shopkeeper to pack up the set of jewelry meant for Zhao Ruyun before speaking to Nangong Chiyu.
"What do you mean by 'buy whatever I like'? Your family might not like the things I like, and besides, with your current status, you can have anything you want."
I don't think you need to prepare any gifts. The fact that you're back alive is the best gift for them.
"Su Luo, I think you're right. They'll definitely accept me, right?"
Isn't that obvious?
"The people who love you most in this world are your family. I really don't know what you're worried about?"
After buying the items, Su Luo told Su Zuo to go directly to Fu Man Lou and have a casual breakfast there.
Then she asked Su Zuo to invite all her friends over, and she cooked for them herself.
With nothing else to do, Yun Hui came over to help Su Luo out, as the chef also had to cook for other guests.
It took Su Luo until dusk to finish preparing a large table of dishes, and Nangong Chiyu was still the first to arrive.
After parting ways with Su Luo, he said he also needed to prepare things to go home, but what exactly he was doing remained unknown.
Yi Huan sat in the private room, and she would obediently pull out a chair for each guest as they arrived.
"Greetings, Prince Yu! Greetings, Uncle Chi! Please have a seat."
"Thank you, Yi Huan!"
Nangong Chiyu had Yi Huan sit next to him, looking at the large table of delicious food, while Su Luo continued to cook.
"Huanhuan, is your mother inviting a lot of people?"
Yi Huan nodded; she had seen Su Zuo running around all day.
"Yes! There's Physician Du and his family, Uncle Nangong Qing, and Master Xie..."
That's about all Yi Huan knew. Nangong Chiyu thought Su Luo had only invited a few people.
It turns out that in her heart, he was no different from anyone else.
"The food is here!"
Su Luo brought out a soup that had been simmering for two hours, and saw that Nangong Chiyu and Chi Yi had already arrived.
“Your Highness has arrived so early. Please wait a little longer; the dishes will be ready soon.”
Being able to cook for her friends is a happy thing for Su Luo.
"Su Luo, I'll help you!"
"No need, I have Lady Yun to help me, please sit down."
"use!"
As Nangong Chiyu spoke, he got up and followed Su Luo to the kitchen, leaving Chi Yi here to watch over Yi Huan and An An.
In the kitchen, Nangong Chiyu skillfully used a cleaver, much to Su Luo's surprise that he didn't know how to cook.
"Your Highness, how could you do this? Let me do it."
Nangong Chiyu came over and took over the work that Yun Hui was doing: "It's alright, Lady Yun, go wash the vegetables and watch the fire. I've cooked before when I was fighting."
"Miss Yun, let him cut it."
Inside the kitchen, several people were busy at work. Nangong Chiyu was chopping vegetables, and Su Luo was cooking.
More and more people filled the private room. When Ah Xu went to Wanxiu Pavilion to pick up Xie Wanwan, Nangong Qing also arrived.
Then came Du Xiuyuan, Du Siyuan, and Lin Kaiji, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, but there was one person whom no one expected Su Luo to invite.
That was the Grand Master. No one expected that Su Luo had become so familiar with him. He even came when Su Luo invited him.
"Everyone's here, you can eat first."
Nangong Qing reserved a spot for Su Luo next to him, and Nangong Chiyu saw right through his intentions.
"Huanhuan, your mother said she really likes this braised chicken with fresh mushrooms in front of you. Let her sit over here, and you can sit next to Uncle Nangong Qing, okay?"
Yi Huan glanced at it; this dish was the easiest to reach from her seat, but she had never heard that her mother liked it.
"Okay! Huanhuan will take care of Mom too."
After saying that, Yi Huan got up and sat down in the seat left by Nangong Qing. An An then prepared a bowl and chopsticks for her.
Seeing Nangong Qing frown and not knowing how to talk to Yi Huan, Nangong Chiyu put down the bowl and chopsticks again. When Su Luo came over, she saw that there was only one seat left, so she sat down.
After Su Luo sat down, she urged everyone to eat: "Thank you all for taking the time to come tonight. I made all these dishes myself. If you like them, please eat more."
"The Vice Minister of Agriculture is not only talented, but also an excellent cook. I, Youqing, have tasted his cooking once and have never forgotten it since."
When Lin Kaiji first went to see the double-cropping rice, he had a meal at the Chen residence. He knew that Su Luo was in business and that it wouldn't be a problem for her to have a meal at Fu Man Lou with money.
She even cooked for them herself, showing her deep affection.
"I'm glad the Grand Minister of Agriculture likes it. Everyone, please eat quickly, otherwise Yi Huan and I will be going back tomorrow, and you'll have to wait a long time if you want to eat my cooking."
"Nangong Qing, especially you, don't you like my cooking? Eat more."
Nangong Qingxin was delighted; Luo Luo had arranged this gathering tonight only because of him.
"Okay! Luo Luo, come back soon after you go back."
Xie Wanwan and A Xu also raised their glasses and said, "Madam Su, the journey is long, I wish you a safe trip."
"Thank you, and thank you everyone. Please enjoy your food."
Halfway through the meal, Su Luo felt a strange chill beside her. Turning her head, she saw Nangong Chiyu with a sullen face.
"What's wrong? Is the food not good?"
Nangong Chiyu remained silent, as he always does. Su Luo hadn't said anything wrong; she was just calling everyone to eat as usual. Does he have a mental illness?
"Junior sister, Prince Yu wants to eat that braised fish, but he can't reach it. Can you get it for him?"
Su Luo glanced at the Imperial Advisor, unsure if what he said was true, and casually placed a piece of fish into Nangong Chiyu's bowl.
As expected, Nangong Chiyu glanced at Su Luo's action, his expression instantly softened, his eyes became much gentler, and he even replied to Su Luo...
"Su Luo, you eat too."
He was secretly pleased. Su Luo wasn't just cooking for Nangong Qing, but she was serving him food separately. He immediately felt more at ease.
Su Luo exclaimed inwardly, "This Imperial Advisor is truly amazing! He can even predict what others want to eat!"
