Chapter 88 The Prince Who Strives to Please Others
Jinyuezhou, Chenfu.
Huang Qiuyue has been living here for half a month.
Because Xiao Linyuan told him that Dali men all like gentle and considerate women, she became playful and decided to cook for Shen Zhuo in the Shen Mansion.
Because of her decision, the chef of the Shen Mansion suffered a lot.
When Shen Zhuo returned home from work, he saw the chef waiting at the gate, looking as mournful as if he had lost his parents.
"General, General, please think of a way to make that girl stop using her magical powers! If she keeps going on like this, the kitchen will explode!"
Not only that, there was chaos every day, and several of his beloved chickens were roasted alive. Where did he attract this female bandit?
His old heart can’t take it!
Chen Zhuo rubbed his forehead. Huang Qiyue's destructive ability was too strong and he could hardly withstand it.
But before returning to Jinyue, he swore to the prince that he would not let Huang Qiuyue walk around exposed.
If she wasn't allowed to mess around in the kitchen, I'd have to tie her up, but I couldn't beat her...
Forget it, he will endure it for a while.
Chen Zhuo took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and patted the chef's hand vigorously, "Please help her and let her keep the fun of cooking."
The chef smiled happily. His general was so stingy that he could give five taels of silver. It showed that he really liked this girl!
Then he must serve her well, because she is the future general's wife!
After comforting the chef, Shen Zhuo went to the kitchen.
The moment he opened the kitchen door, a cloud of flour rushed towards him. Fortunately, he was young and nimble, and he dodged it with a quick move.
The chef was not so lucky. A whole ball of flour flew onto his face, making him look very embarrassed.
Shen Zhuo burst out laughing.
He fanned away the powder mist and looked into the room. He saw a ceramic jar cracked in two lying on the stove, and a curved knife that Huang Qiuyue never left behind was stuck diagonally on the edge of the chopping board, with half a piece of radish peel stuck on the blade.
Just stand up straight and stubbornly.
I don’t know what kind of magical skill it takes to cut it like this.
Huang Qiyue put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "How do you think the golden and jade fish I made according to the Qimin Yaoshu?"
"?"
Chen Zhuo looked at the black tail fin of the mandarin fish. How could it have such an indomitable posture that looked like a chicken's butt leaping over the dragon gate?
Huang Qiyue raised an eyebrow at him, "Don't you Dali people pay attention to appearance? This is my first time, isn't it good?"
Chen Zhuo suppressed the twitching of his mouth and said, "Do you know that this Songjiang perch is worth fifty taels?"
"I know." Huang Qiyue was presenting a treasure. "That's why I specially used the thousand-year-old snow salt bestowed by the emperor to marinate it, and also added..."
Before Z could finish his words, the chef's heart-wrenching cough was heard outside the door.
Chen Zhuo turned his head and saw the chef reaching for the vinegar jar in the corner with trembling hands.
What Huang Qiyue used just now was clearly aged vinegar that had been stored in the cellar for twenty years.
What a sin!
Chen Zhuo looked at the mess on the ground and felt both angry and amused.
Huang Qiyue seemed to realize that she had made a mistake, and the smile on her face disappeared without a trace. This was the first time that Chen Zhuo saw an embarrassed expression on her face.
He felt a strange and dense sour feeling in his heart.
He stopped laughing and took out a Supa and handed it to her, "Your face is dirty, like a little cat."
"I'm sorry, I don't think I've cooked a single dish since I came to the Chen Mansion." Huang Qiuyue smiled bitterly.
She suddenly understood what Xiao Linyuan said. Chen Zhuo liked women who were suitable for marriage and family life, but she was not one of them.
Shen Zhuo wanted to take the opportunity to mock her, but when he saw the dejection on her face, he quickly took back his sarcastic words.
"You roast the chicken very well."
"Humph, anyone can roast like a hunter!"
"That's not necessarily true. Being able to roast food is a skill in itself."
Huang Qiyue widened her eyes, "Really?"
"Well, if you don't believe me, ask the housekeeper and the chef."
This crude way of coaxing people actually worked.
Huang Qiyue raised the corners of her lips, as if she had turned back into the proud princess. "So what kind of dishes is General Shen good at?"
Shen Zhuo rolled up his sleeves and picked up the radishes from the basket.
"That's a lot. This general had a bad relationship with his family back then. After running away from home, he suffered a lot. He even had pearl cabbage soup!"
Huang Qiyue squatted beside her naturally, propped up her chin and asked him, "What is pearl cabbage soup?"
"It's just the leftover soup that beggars beg for, add a few cabbage leaves, and then add some bad meat they beg for, and stew it, and it becomes a new pot of soup."
"Ah? You have eaten that disgusting thing!" Huang Qiuyue said with some disgust.
Chen Zhuo smirked, "I'll make you pearl cabbage soup tonight, do you want it?"
"don't want!"
"No, that won't work. The chef isn't cooking tonight, so you'll have to eat the pearl cabbage soup I made!"
——
The atmosphere in Ruifengyuan was depressed for two whole days.
Song Zijin said nothing. He either lay down or sat every day, often in a daze.
While Xiao Linyuan was busy dealing with government affairs, he was also thinking about how to get along with her.
But she couldn't find the right way. She would only smile a few times when she saw Fu Yue, but otherwise she seemed as if all her emotions had been pulled out, and she was lifeless.
Liao Yan checked her pulse every day and was sure that her body had recovered well, she was just in a bad mood.
At Chunsheng's suggestion, Xiao Linyuan brought the chessboard and took the initiative to play chess with her.
"I heard that you like playing chess." He said gently.
Hearing his unnatural voice, Song Zijin glanced at him with helplessness in his eyes.
Xiao Linyuan understood that she didn't like playing chess at all.
I have to say it's quite frustrating.
He had no choice but to swallow his pride and go to the west wing to find Fu Yue.
"Your Majesty, if you want my daughter to be happy, don't keep her in the palace. The daughter and you are not in a proper relationship, and now you have forgotten her. Seeing her every day, the daughter must be depressed."
Fu Yue is not good at disguising his expression, and his eyes are full of resentment.
The entire Ruifeng Courtyard was cordoned off, which was no different from being in prison.
The only advantage is probably that the old princess can't get in.
Xiao Linyuan shook his head firmly. "If there's one, there's another. I'm afraid she'll flee the capital again. Even if I've forgotten her, she's now bound to my ship. If I let her go, her life will be in danger."
Moreover, there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him: If he let her leave, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Liao Yan became Xiao Linyuan's third military advisor.
He went to the bookstore specifically to buy some storybooks.
Things like "The General's Handbook for Chasing a Wife", "The Prince's Pampered Wife", "The Princess Disguises as a Man, the Prince Coaxes Her Gentlely", "The Medical Concubine Uses All Her Skills, the God of War Dotes Me the Only One in His Life"...
The title of the book is as embarrassing as it can be.
Xiao Linyuan just felt it was disgusting to watch. It would be better for him to die alone than to say such words!
He threw the notebook away in disgust, "I can't say such disgusting words!"
"Forget it then." Liao Yan calmly put away the notebook, "Then your Highness, I wish you the best."
