Xie Yunjiao took out the food box and took out everything inside.
There are boneless spicy and sour lemon chicken feet. Considering that Ruan Qing has a poor appetite, she specially made it spicy and sour, but the spiciness is relatively mild because she doesn't dare to give Ruan Qing something too stimulating.
In addition to lemon chicken feet, she also made Vietnamese spring rolls, which contained a variety of fresh Baiyue vegetables, mixed with some local special seasonings, and blanched fresh river shrimp, which had a refreshing taste.
The spring roll skin is soft and glutinous, the vegetables inside are sweet and crispy, and the shrimps are fresh and chewy. The combination of these flavors is very special and refreshing.
She also made coconut milk cake with pandan leaves, refreshing cold papaya shreds, and a bowl of soft and smooth salty bone porridge.
Ruan Qing looked at the beautifully matched colors and became interested.
Seeing this, the old nanny immediately understood Ruan Qing's meaning. She ordered people to take out silver needles and test the poison one by one.
After confirming that everything was fine, she nodded to Ruan Qing.
Xie Yunjiao just watched quietly from the side without saying anything.
Ruan Qing looked at Xie Yunjiao a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm really sorry, but I've been harmed many times, so I have to be on guard."
Xie Yunjiao smiled at Ruan Qing to show her understanding. She said to Ruan Qing, "The Queen is in delicate health, so it's normal for her to be cautious."
Ruan Qing slept well last night, and with Xie Yunjiao making so many delicious foods, she felt even better.
She asked the old lady to pick up a piece of spring roll for her and savored it carefully.
After taking a few bites, her eyes lit up, but her reserve prevented her from speaking immediately. She finished the entire spring roll, gracefully took the handkerchief handed to her by the old lady, wiped her mouth, and then said to Xie Yunjiao, "It tastes really good. I like it very much."
"If your Majesty likes it, please eat more." Xie Yunjiao said happily.
Strangely enough, Xie Yunjiao was in a very good mood when she heard Ruan Qing say that she liked the food. She was happier than if thousands of people praised her cooking.
"Kai'er, do you want to come over and try it?" Ruan Qing looked at Jing Kai and asked.
Jing Kai's mouth twitched. Although he already knew yesterday that Xie Yunjiao could cook, he was still a little scared when he saw what was on the table.
"No need, I've already used it at home." Jing Kai said.
Gurgle, his stomach rumbled without any courtesy at this moment.
Xie Yunjiao glared at Jing Kai and said, "You spoke without thinking. Look, you've been slapped in the face."
Ruan Qing thought Xie Yunjiao's way of speaking was very funny and couldn't help but giggle.
It had been a long time since she had done this. After realizing that this was not a good thing, she quickly took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and then she started laughing again.
Jing Kai was almost unable to lift his head because of the laughter of the two people, and his face was full of embarrassment.
He was really embarrassed, so he had to bite the bullet and try a spring roll, but was amazed by the unique taste.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xie Yunjiao said proudly.
Although she had the potential to study Chinese cuisine, she also had some knowledge of foreign dishes. She usually loved to eat Vietnamese spring rolls, but she found that there was no such thing sold in Baiyue Kingdom at that time, so she tried to make it herself.
I thought it tasted good, so I made it for Ruan Qing to try.
"I've never seen anyone like you." Jing Kai finished eating a whole spring roll and suddenly spoke.
Xie Yunjiao was explaining to Ruan Qing what vegetables were in the spring rolls and what their functions were, when she was suddenly startled to hear Jing Kai speak in a serious tone.
Xie Yunjiao and Ruan Qing both stopped, and Xie Yunjiao frowned, unable to help but mutter, "Could it be that the taste is wrong?"
That shouldn’t be the case. She had already tasted it before coming here and brought it here because she thought it tasted good.
She suspected that Jing Kai didn't dislike her at all, but was just targeting her deliberately.
People who don't like her naturally won't like the food she cooks.
She thought that if it was Xie Xiuer who made it, he would praise it as delicious even if it tasted bad.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He doesn't understand anything and just talks nonsense." Ruan Qingqiu glanced at Jing Kai and said.
This guy, can he speak?
Xie Yunjiao glanced at Jing Kai and nodded. Yes, that’s right, Jing Kai was deliberately targeting her!
Jing Kai touched his nose in disappointment. He was just joking, and before he could even finish his words, the two of them were already so excited. They were indeed mother and daughter, biological children!
"I haven't even finished what I'm saying," Jing Kai paused and continued, "I mean, I've never seen anyone as talented as you who can actually make something so delicious."
Xie Yunjiao glanced at Jing Kai, wanting to laugh but pretending to be angry, and said, "Who told you to speak in fragments? Someone who didn't know you would think you were stuttering. Who can you blame?"
Ruan Qing also nodded and said, "That's not the case. Who told you to talk like that?"
The two looked at each other and chuckled.
Jing Kai watched them laughing so happily and couldn't help but smile.
When Xie Xiuer came in, she happened to see this warm and harmonious scene. Her heart felt like it was stabbed several times, and the pain was so severe that she almost cried.
She clenched her teeth so tightly that her back teeth were nearly broken. Her fingers dug deep into her palms as if to pierce them, and her face was so gloomy that it could squeeze water out of it.
Because she came so suddenly, everyone was watching the interaction between Xie Yunjiao and Jing Kai and didn't react immediately.
She was almost next to Ruan Qing when the palace maids finally reacted and bowed to her.
The moment Jing Kai saw Xie Xiuer, his eyes darkened and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
When Xie Yunjiao saw Xie Xiuer, the smile that had just appeared on her face froze at the corner of her mouth and quickly turned flat.
"What are you talking about? You're laughing so happily." Xie Xiuer asked with pretended curiosity, with a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
She knew that Xie Yunjiao shouldn't be allowed into the palace.
She had worked so hard for so long but still couldn't get such an attitude from Ruan Qing, and Xie Yunjiao had only been there for a few days and could make Ruan Qing laugh so happily. How could she bear it?
And when they saw her come in, their expressions changed, as if she was an outsider.
"Oh, nothing, just chatting for a while." Ruan Qing said, waving to Xie Xiu'er to sit next to her, "Look at these snacks, they taste good, try them."
Xie Xiuer's eyes darkened, and the gloominess in them became even heavier.
They didn't even want her to know what they said, and they really pushed her out!
"Are these made in the imperial kitchen? Why have I never seen them before?" Xie Xiuer said.
"No, these are all made by Yun Jiao herself. They taste pretty good. Even your brother Jing Kai said they are good." Ruan Qing said.
Xie Xiuer's face darkened, and she suddenly looked up in the direction of Xie Yunjiao, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
