August 15th is the annual "Autumn Moon Festival" in Anyang State.
Li Nian got up early in the morning and prepared special food for the Autumn Moon Festival with Xiaoying.
Qiuyue Lengxiangtuan, Liuli Petal Soup and Dingsheng Cake.
She learned how to make these foods from a chef some time ago.
"Are you really planning to make it yourself?" Xiao Yunyu came to the kitchen and followed Li Nian. "Let's just buy some ready-made ones. There's going to be a tidal show on the river in Xiyuan later. Shall we go watch it together?"
Li Nian's hands kept moving. "It's more meaningful to cook the food yourself for the festival. As for watching the performance..." She looked up at the man beside her. "Why don't you arrange for someone to take a seat in advance?"
"It's been arranged." Seeing her kneading glutinous rice balls, Xiao Yunyu rolled up his sleeves to help.
Li Nian did not stop him. After all, Xiao Yunyu had helped knead the dough when he was in the northwest.
Xiao Yunyu's action shocked the servants in the mansion who had never seen him before.
You have to know that the eldest son of the Xiao family has been so arrogant since he was a child!
He had beaten up almost all the officials and sons in the capital. When he got angry, even the Marquis couldn't stop him!
Now, seeing him following the eldest lady obediently, he seemed like a handyman under her, doing whatever she asked him to do.
Where's your unruly pride? Where's your unstoppable pride? Has it all been broken?
Several maids hid in the corner, gathered together and whispered.
"Don't tell me, the prince looks like a good husband now."
"I used to think that the Second Young Master was truly obedient under the Second Madam's control. But now, seeing our Crown Prince's attitude, it seems that the First Madam is the one who keeps her true colors to herself."
"Isn't the Marquis also under the control of the old lady and obeys her every word? In my opinion, the three male masters of our Marquis' Mansion are all equally henpecked!"
"I don't think our prince is henpecked! Look at that worthless smile on his face, he's so happy inside!"
Xiao Yunyu has always had good hearing and could hear the servants' words clearly.
He lowered his eyes to watch Li Nian diligently preparing the food, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Nian Nian, do you know what those people are talking about?"
Li Nian turned her head and looked at the corner outside the kitchen, but saw no one.
His gaze fell back on the man beside him: "What did they say?"
Xiao Yunyu bared his teeth and said, "They say I'm henpecked."
Li Nian:?
Is this something to brag about?
Besides, she doesn't think Xiao Yunyu is henpecked. He's just childish and shameless, okay?
"You're not henpecked," she muttered.
"Well, I respect my wife and I will listen to you voluntarily." Xiao Yunyu said with a slight raise of his eyebrows.
"Listen to me?" Li Nian's tone was full of disapproval.
Xiao Yunyu suddenly thought of something and added, "You can't just listen to everything. Sometimes what Nian Nian says is meant in a sarcastic way."
"Did I?" Li Nian thought about it and realized that sometimes she seemed quite awkward.
In fact, when she was tolerant of Xiao Yunyu, Xiao Yunyu was also tolerant of her shortcomings.
"I'll be more careful next time and try not to do that." Li Nian said seriously.
Xiao Yunyu curled his lips and chuckled: "No need, Nian Nian just needs to remain the same, especially when she cries and says no..."
"Stop!" Li Nian frowned. It turned out that she and Xiao Yunyu were not talking about the same topic at all!
She solemnly declared: "I didn't say anything sarcastic at that time, I was really..."
Thinking of the current situation, Li Nian quickly stopped talking about this topic.
How could she be led astray by Xiao Yunyu's few words?
"Enjoy it?" Xiao Yunyu asked in a low voice.
Li Nian: "Bullshit!"
Xiao Yunyu uttered a soft "tsk," and said with a hint of realization, "It seems we need to learn some new knowledge."
Li Nian: ...my legs are weak~~
"No, the knowledge you have now is enough to make me feel better."
The two of them talked and laughed while they worked.
Until Li Sisi ran into the kitchen happily.
