Not to mention others, even Su Wan was a little shocked.
This is a marriage proposal, not even an engagement, so what are you doing here?
Su Wan was already holding her forehead with her hand. If today's events were to get out, if she didn't have the reputation of Kong Zhang Sheren, she would definitely be accused of misleading the master.
Xie Pei is really something.
After all, when an ordinary family proposes a marriage, the man can just come with his relatives and friends, not in person.
That is Xie Pei. His identity will not only not be ridiculed, but will be cited as a compliment.
Su Wan only heard some music and dancing outside, and it was obviously very lively.
After all, royal etiquette is not that simple.
Although she didn't go to see it, she roughly knew the details.
It’s all because of reading too many books!
You have to know it even if you don’t want to!
Wenqin and the guard Haike couldn't help laughing: "Usually I think the young lady can handle anything, but she can't sit still at all about this matter."
"Can you sit still when you get married?"
"I couldn't sit still at that time, but I was divorced by my husband's family, so I came out to make a living. This is different. His Majesty's proposal of marriage obviously takes it more seriously." Hai Ke said.
After hearing this, everyone looked over subconsciously.
Everyone had roughly talked about the family affairs of the other guards, except Hai Ke, who was the most skilled in martial arts, who was not mentioned.
She was too embarrassed to laugh now: "We shouldn't mention happy occasions."
It was just that looking at the situation of the female official Su Wan today reminded her of her own past.
It turns out that whether someone attaches great importance to something can be seen from the proposal.
Thinking about it now, her ex-husband's family was so perfunctory in advance that the tragedy was probably doomed at that time.
Su Wan was feeling a little uneasy at the moment, but she didn't think it was a bad thing. It was nothing to mention it today, so she said, "It's okay. This is all normal. It's nothing to mention it today."
Hai Ke also relaxed after hearing this. She had just sighed subconsciously. In fact, today was a bit unlucky for many people.
But since Miss Su Wan wanted to hear it, she continued, "My ex-husband and I were engaged as children, but my family practiced martial arts, and his family practiced literature. It was okay for our grandfathers, but the next generation, and our generation, simply looked down on us."
"So when the marriage proposal was made, a distant relative came to his family, and the engagement was even more perfunctory."
"At the time, my family wanted to hold back on this anger, but they didn't expect that they would hold back until the wedding. Afterwards, they said that I had been childless for three years because of my martial arts training, so they divorced me."
Su Wan frowned: "This is against the law. Even if the husband's family wants to divorce my wife, it will not work with such an excuse."
"If a man divorces his wife in this situation, he shall be punished with fifty strokes of the cane, and shall also give his property and take his wife back."
"But his family has a reputation, even if he is just a scholar, he is different from ordinary people." Hai Ke explained, "In the countryside, people don't really care about these things."
"And I didn't want to go back. I was sad at the time, but after I got over my sadness, I heard about His Majesty's selection of talented people from all over the world."
"I was thinking, your family is disgusted with my skills, so if that's the case, why don't you break out and see for yourself."
Hai Ke smiled a little at the end of his speech: "Now I am a fifth-rank palace guard, and he is still preparing for the imperial examination. Who knows what he can pass."
There were a room full of women, Su Wan was sitting at the front, next to her were Wen Qin and Hai Ke who were talking.
There are four guards on duty at the door.
They were all fascinated by what they heard and they admired Hai Ke even more.
Su Wan listened and gradually felt relieved: "That's right, it doesn't matter even if I'm wrong. As long as I want to turn back, I still have a chance to start over."
It’s not like getting married determines life or death.
This is a matter of a lifetime, but it cannot really determine a lifetime.
After Su Wan finished speaking, Wenqin and Haike looked at each other and said subconsciously: "Madam, you can't think like that. This is just the beginning."
"Who's outside?" the guard at the door shouted.
Guard Xiao Song's voice came from outside: "Madam Lady, I am sending you a pair of auspicious and auspicious flowers by order of His Majesty. They are extra gifts for the marriage proposal. I just sent them because I thought they looked good."
Now Su Wan was even more helpless.
Proposing a marriage is grand enough, but you also take the opportunity to give something extra.
This is too high-profile.
Suddenly the room was filled with joy again.
But when Guard Xiao Song left, he took a few glances and was sure to tell His Majesty what he had just said.
But after saying this, His Majesty will definitely smile less.
Lady Su Wan is not the only one who is worried.
But it's quite interesting to think about it. Guard Xiao Song has been following His Majesty's court lady Su Wan for many years. They are just a little impatient when it comes to each other's affairs?
Tsk tsk tsk, from this perspective, Your Majesty and Miss Su Wan are a perfect match in every way!
These little setbacks are definitely nothing!
There's a lot of buzz about everything in Kyoto these days, just like the weather today.
But the most lively words are "Su Wan".
For a moment, everyone recognized these two words, and everyone knew how powerful this woman was and how much she was favored by His Majesty.
Regardless of gender, everyone wants to have her talent and her love.
The day of the marriage proposal made people in Kyoto envious.
But what followed was that the marriage proposal process in Kyoto had changed!
In the past, marriage proposals were made through matchmakers or relatives or friends.
It’s different now!
Do you want to express your sincerity now?
Then you have to go by yourself.
Your Majesty went there by himself, why don’t you go?
These marriage proposal procedures are not rigid and it is normal for customs to be different in different dynasties and places.
But this is probably the first time that the change has been so fast?
It is estimated that this trend will soon spread to all parts of Tianxiang Country.
This matter spread faster than everyone imagined, because it was related to Kong Zhang Sheren.
And after listening to this story, who wouldn’t think it is legendary?
I have already started writing the story.
Somehow a down-and-out prince meets a clever little palace maid, and then blah blah, and the rest is just made up by local people.
Each place will also compile stories based on its own local characteristics, which is also very funny.
After the proposal, the rest of the process became more and more formal, and Gui Niang even learned various daily etiquettes in it.
Fortunately, the chief of the Imperial Food Department and a female official that Su Wan was familiar with came to help.
Among them was Aunt Feng Ping, who had just adopted Yu Shu as her daughter.
Aunt Feng Ping and Su Wan have always had a good relationship.
It was she who discovered that the Third Prince was active nearby, and later arranged for Su Wan to go to Guandi Temple to deliver food herself.
Afterwards, Su Wan and Aunt Yonglan were transferred to the Shangshenjian, and Aunt Feng Ping also stayed in the West Kitchen, probably to keep the secret of the West Courtyard. She only left the West Kitchen after Xie Pei moved out from there.
Su Wan also figured these things out later.
So no matter from which perspective, her relationship with Aunt Feng Ping has always been good.
The two of them sat down and chatted, and naturally talked about Yu Shu.
Naturally, we get more information from here.
Let’s start with Yu Shu’s family.
At the beginning, Yu Shu was almost sold to a disgusting old man, and the old man even chased her to the palace. If Su Wan had not discovered her in time, given Yu Shu's temper at the time, she might have been bullied.
Later, Su Wan came to help and met the sharp guard Chai Huan.
In addition, there was the help of Aunt Feng Ping's strong personality, and the old man died for no reason, etc.
Only then did Yu Shu slowly grow up.
In fact, considering the time, Yu Shu was only fourteen at that time, so it was normal for her to be unable to withstand the temptation.
After that, Yu Shu gradually became the head maid in the palace, and now she is in charge. She can handle the household affairs better. Now she has recognized Aunt Feng Ping as her godmother, and it is easier to handle household affairs.
Having said that, that family is not easy to get along with.
Finally, with the intervention of Su Wan and Xie Pei, things became simpler.
When Aunt Feng Ping mentioned this, she still said, "That family doesn't dare to make trouble anymore. Their marriage should be scheduled for next year, earlier than yours."
Aunt Feng Ping has never been married and has no children. Now that she has Yu Shu as her goddaughter, she has a place to stay in the future.
When I saw Wei Jun and his master, I realized that it would be useful to have a godson or goddaughter in the palace.
Yu Shu is a person who knows how to repay kindness. Given her family's situation, she only admires Aunt Feng Ping even more.
However, the wedding date that Aunt Feng Ping mentioned at the end would be earlier.
The main reason is that His Majesty's wedding ceremony has been too slow, taking almost a year to prepare.
From the moment the date is set, all the surrounding barbarians must be notified, and officials from all over the country must also be notified. Then people from all over the world will come to celebrate Your Majesty's wedding.
Especially the Yi tribes from all directions, their enthusiasm this time will be much higher than before, and even the Shigi tribe will rush over to repair relations.
In recent years, Tianxiang Kingdom has become increasingly powerful, and all the neighbors around it are respectful. This kind of opportunity to curry favor will definitely come, and they will also come with generous gifts.
Not to mention the wedding dresses for the two of them, if they start making them now, they feel there won't be enough time.
If Xie Pei were to say, it would definitely be better to get married immediately, but if the ceremony was not grand enough, it would seem that he was mistreating Su Wan.
This way you can wait patiently.
On the contrary, there are not so many red tapes in folk marriages.
Yu Shu and Chai Huan will be able to complete their wedding in October this year.
Now Yu Shu is the head of the western kitchen. Apart from the situation at home, her life is pretty good.
With His Majesty's future queen secretly guaranteeing them, the Chai family has nothing to say.
When Aunt Feng Ping mentioned this, a rare smile appeared on her face. It seemed that she really treated Yu Shu as her daughter.
Su Wan said: "In this case, we must bring a backup gift."
Su Wan was naturally happy for Yu Shu as well.
I heard that Xiaoyue is also talking about marriage. I guess it was her family who arranged it. So she is almost getting married.
Why didn’t I feel that there were so many people getting married around me before, but now they are starting to happen one after another?
The marriage has been arranged, and this year I can finally set off for the palace.
June passed and I returned at the end of August. Even without mentioning anything in Kyoto, people all over Tianxiang Country were still gossiping about this marriage.
Although Tianxiang Kingdom is a vast country, within a few months, the news was heard even in the coastal areas.
Even when sailing across the ocean, he was still talking about this world-renowned wedding.
The owner of one of the private caravans, a man named Su Chuang, was also talking about this.
He is only thirty years old this year, and has already earned a large sum of gold by sailing on the ocean, but he is just making money, which is nothing in the waters of Tianxiang Kingdom, which are now full of merchant ships.
How do you say it now?
As long as you have a boat, you can get rich.
By transporting the sugar, oil, spices, silk and porcelain produced in large quantities in Tianxiang Kingdom, one could easily earn a thousand taels of gold.
You don't even need to learn the local language. When the ships from Tianxiang Kingdom dock, countless people will come with gems and beg to buy your things.
Who told them that the things from Tianxiang country are so good?
If it were Su Wan's time and space, even a pig could make money if it stood at the right time.
Anyway, Su Chuang felt that this was not a good way to go, and he was always thinking about another thing.
That was Kongzhang Sheren, the future empress. She said that if anyone could find new and rare plants, the rewards would vary depending on their value.
Some people had brought back things before, but they were mostly flowers and plants, which were not really pleasing to the eye. The female official Su Wan did give them rewards, but he felt that something was not enough.
Now that the ship is on the ocean, Su Chuang is thinking, what exactly does Lady Su Wan want?
While they were thinking, someone on the ship opened a can of ketchup. This sauce not only sold well, but the people on the ship also loved it.
Su Chuang was eating fried fish with ketchup while thinking about something.
While thinking about this, he also sighed, if it weren't for the female official Su Wan, how could they buy cheap oil to fry fish, and there would be no such delicious sauce.
It’s all because of Lady Su Wan’s unparalleled cooking skills. It would be great if I could have a chance to try them.
Wait, cooking?
Su Chuang suddenly understood.
No matter whether it is Sheren Kongzhang or Courtesan Suwan, food is among the things that made them famous!
Needless to say, the former is used to make sugar and oil, which are recipes for the poor people.
And they also make so many delicious foods suitable for ordinary people to eat.
The latter includes baking soda, various ways of eating tomatoes, etc.
Almost all of them are about food!
When they went out to sea, local officials were still looking for farmers who knew how to farm, so that they could increase grain production so that they could go to Kyoto to meet the emperor. This had been talked about for several years, and the local farmers were highly respected, and they were just waiting for them to grow good crops.
So what Lady Su Wan wanted was actually food?!
It would be best if the food is high in yield and has never been seen before?
Who in this world doesn’t need clothes to wear and food to eat?
Even eating is ranked ahead of other needs. Lady Officer Su Wan has always attached great importance to this matter!
Su Chuang seemed to have found his target.
If he can find what Lady Officer Su Wan wants, he will definitely stand out among so many fleets!
You will definitely be able to keep your current wealth!
Su Chuang suddenly became motivated and found the food that Lady Su Wan wanted!
This is also the purpose of this voyage!
If I could exchange a boat full of living creatures for food that could be rewarded, that would be possible, right?
However, sugar is nothing in Tianxiang Kingdom. Only nobles can enjoy it on these small islands and lands overseas.
Could he use these things to get closer to the nobles?
Su Wan, who had already officially started working, had no idea that many people on the ships out to sea had such ambitions.
She is currently in the west kitchen, preparing autumn menu.
When Su Wan first arrived at the Western Kitchen of the Shangshi Restaurant, she prepared menus for the four seasons. The Western Kitchen is still basically using this menu, but as time has passed, she needs to make some cuts.
The Deputy Prime Minister of the West Kitchen had a good relationship with Su Wan and jokingly suggested inviting her again.
I didn't expect Su Wan to really come.
Su Wan also felt that the list had been made six years ago, and since it was made by her, it was normal for her to make some changes.
Now I put on an apron, rolled up my sleeves, and no longer had to stand on a stool.
It’s still the familiar small western kitchen.
Deputy Prime Minister Xi looked at this and felt emotional. Maybe many people have changed, but Su Wan is still the same as before.
When they heard that Su Wan and His Majesty had gotten engaged and even set a wedding date, the people at the Ministry of Rites were a little nervous for a while.
But Su Wan continued to do what she was supposed to do, as if nothing had happened.
Now I work in the west kitchen, and it’s the same as before.
Deputy Prime Minister Xi shook his head, wondering what he was thinking. The most important thing was to focus on cooking and organize the autumn menu.
It’s actually a bit late to reorganize the autumn menu now.
But if we don't do it now, it will be too late.
Su Wan looked at the corn in her hands, the sweet potatoes, and the more abundant cooking oil.
There is definitely enough food now, but should we make some small improvements?
How about some impractical but delicious "junk food"?
If nothing else, let’s have some crispy popcorn first!
In addition to the regular menu, you can also make some other snacks. Although not many, it can be used to adjust everyone's taste.
After finishing organizing the menus for three meals a day, I will start preparing the list of snacks.
Speaking of the menus for these three meals, they simply add the ingredients that have become available in recent years to enrich everyone's taste.
Therefore, many dishes were replaced in the process. Although Su Wan was already a female official, she still had to taste the dishes.
For a while, many people knew that Su Wan was cooking in the small kitchen of the west kitchen, and many people wanted to come and eat for free.
Su Wan was helpless and amused. Just as she agreed, she saw guard Xiao Song coming over.
What else could the guards around Xie Pei do?
Isn't it just to eat for free? !
Cooking for one person is cooking, and cooking for two people is also cooking.
Seeing that Su Wan had officially started to prepare the adjusted meals and snacks at the same time, Yu Shuchunxiang naturally came over to help. There were no other helpers left in the small kitchen, so it was just the few of them.
Once I closed the door of the kitchenette, it seemed as if we were back to the old times.
However, Yu Shu said, "It's different. At least I don't have to stand on a stool."
This thought just flashed through Su Wan's mind, but she didn't expect that Yu Shu also thought so.
Wenqin Haike, who was always beside him, asked in confusion, "What does it mean to step on the stool?"
Su Wan, Yu Shu, Chunxiang and the others all laughed.
"At that time, I had just arrived at the West Kitchen. I was twelve years old and shorter than most people. The stove in the palace was high, so I could only stand on a stool to cook."
Is there such a thing?
They knew that Lady Officer Su Wan had come to the palace at a very young age, but they knew nothing about these things.
Su Wan looked at the adjusted menu, which included six dishes, three soups, and two additional snacks.
Mainly add some meat and eggs to the dish.
When she cooked in the past, she always ordered too little meat. Even if she ordered a dish with meat, there wasn't much meat in it.
Now it's all right. She knows the accounts in the palace very well. As long as everyone doesn't think too much about saving money, they can actually eat better with the same amount of money.
Not to mention that there are fewer palace servants in the palace now, the treasury is still well-off, and the food will naturally be abundant.
So be sure to add meat everywhere!
Only when you are full can you have the energy to work.
So the first dish is fried chicken legs in tomato sauce.
It sounds like a very delicious meal.
However, when Su Wan first started processing the chicken legs, she always felt like she was going back to the past. When she cooked here before, there were always "mysteriously" fewer chicken legs and duck legs.
I guess now everyone should understand where these things went.
Su Wan couldn't help but cough lightly.
All of it went into Xie Pei’s stomach!
Su Wan was naturally generous in teaching when she was doing it, and Yu Shu even joked: "Even now, I am still learning from her."
"This is not stealing skills. I was originally going to teach you." Su Wan said with a smile, "I will do it for more palace maids in the future."
Yu Shuchunxiang has gotten used to it.
But it was the first time that Wenqin Haike looked at the female official Su Wan who was concentrating on cooking.
In fact, in the past two years, Su Wan was still cooking, but mostly for His Majesty, officials, or people around her.
Nowadays, this kind of teaching by doing is very rare.
But think about it, so many things have happened in the past two years that I don't have the time for this.
Now that everything has settled down, Lady Officer Su Wan has returned to her previous position. She likes cooking and she also likes everyone to learn how to cook from her.
Wenqin and Haike both wanted to try it, so they helped out.
To make chicken legs in tomato sauce, you need tomatoes, eggs, onions, and chicken legs. Once these ingredients are prepared, you can start.
First, debone the chicken legs and cut them into pieces. Then mix them with egg liquid, add salt, pepper, and flour to marinate. If you eat it yourself, you can also add some milk and balsam pear. These spices are not cheap. They are okay to eat at home, but they cannot be supplied if there are too many people in the cafeteria. However, the ketchup seasoning is actually not bad.
Then squeeze the tomato juice and add sugar, this is sweet tomato juice.
In the past, it would have been impossible to use sugar and tomatoes so luxuriously. However, in recent years, the production of these ingredients has increased, so they are very convenient to use and can be used in large quantities.
Then heat the oil in a pan, and use vegetable oil for meat dishes and meat oil for vegetarian dishes.
Fry the chopped onions in a frying pan until fragrant, then add the marinated chicken thighs that have been cut into pieces and fry the chicken as well. Turn the heat from high to low and slowly fry the fat out of the chicken until cooked.
When serving, pour the sweet tomato sauce on it and the dish is ready. The marinated chicken thighs are tender and juicy, and then pour the sweet and sour sauce on it. Pair it with white rice or steamed buns, and everyone will eat a few more mouthfuls of rice.
The next thing to make is corn, mushroom and rock sugar porridge.
This is another meal that is made with lots of ingredients.
In autumn, people are prone to shortness of breath and panic. Corn, mushroom and rock sugar porridge can also relieve this symptom. Shortness of breath and panic are caused by deficiency of qi and blood.
The main components of this porridge are corn and mushrooms, and you can change the other side dishes as you like.
Su Wan chose corn, green beans, mushrooms, and some carrots.
The method is not difficult, but the corn must be fresh corn kernels that have just been harvested in autumn, so that it tastes better.
All the above ingredients are blanched and cooked together with the rice. There is no need to say much about cooking porridge. Su Wan has made a lot of porridge. Yu Shu and Chunxiang have been in the west kitchen for more than six years, so they are naturally very skilled.
Finally add rock sugar for seasoning. Most people will like the sweet porridge.
Then there was winter melon and pork trotter soup and so on, and the whole small kitchen was filled with fragrance for the whole afternoon.
The winter melon at this time of year is very tender, and the pig's trotters are also tender. After skimming off the fat, this soup is actually an appetizing and refreshing soup.
The mouth is full of delicious taste, and just smelling the flavor is enough to satisfy your craving.
After stewing everything that needs to be stewed, you can then make the crispy and fragrant popcorn that Su Wan has been craving for!
Sweet potatoes are made directly into sweet potato fries. Su Wan has made these fries before. At that time, she thought it was a pity that there were no potatoes. She didn't expect that there are still no potatoes now.
Yu Shu also knows how to make sweet and sour potato chips, so naturally she made them.
The crispy popcorn is entirely made by Su Wan.
We all know that popcorn is made from corn, but there are actually huge differences between different types of corn.
For example, the corn used in the popcorn we commonly eat today is different from the corn we usually eat.
The former has a special name called popcorn, which originated in America. If you can find this kind of corn, it probably isn’t far from potatoes, right?
The latter corn can also be made into popcorn, but the method is a little more complicated because it does not expand well, so it needs to be processed.
The first thing to do is to dehydrate it. Normal corn has a higher water content, so it needs to be dried first.
The second is oil and sugar. The combined weight of these two should be almost the same as the weight of the corn. Only in this way can sweet popcorn be made and the corn kernels, which originally have a low puffing rate, be turned into a snack that everyone likes.
The last important thing is to use a pot with a lid, otherwise the popcorn will be scattered all over the house.
After everything is prepared, the next step is easy. Pour oil into the pot, put in the dried corn kernels after the oil is hot, and when the oil temperature is right, the corn kernels will pop. When they start to pop, immediately cover the pot and press the lid, and you can hear the lid crackling.
For a moment, the room was filled with the aroma of corn and crackling sounds. Only Wenqin and Haike could keep calm, otherwise someone from outside would have broken in.
Fortunately, the burnt popcorn tasted good at the end, so it was all worth it!
By the evening, a table of food was ready.
The managers who are supposed to taste the food will definitely come. The food prepared by Su Wan is both exquisite and large in portion, so that everyone can have a taste.
In addition to the food on the table, another portion was naturally set aside. This portion was put into a food box that Su Wan was very familiar with, and was obviously intended to be delivered to Xie Pei.
Su Wan felt like laughing and then looked at the familiar kitchen.
Back here again, everything is getting better.
In the room next to the kitchenette, the food has been prepared and is waiting to be eaten. The yard is filled with the aroma of food.
Su Wan naturally knew all the stewards who came to taste the dishes, whether they were newly appointed or old friends. She had been in charge of palace affairs for more than a day or two.
When everyone smelled the aroma of the food, they knew how delicious the food was. How come they were all common ingredients, but they looked so different in the hands of female official Su Wan.
It would be worth it to just smell Su Wan's cooking, not to mention to eat it.
Besides, this is the future Queen!
Listening to the bustling noise in the room, and then watching Guard Xiao Song packing Xie Pei's meal.
Su Wan thought about it and said, "I'll go with you."
But before leaving, I went to the small room and said something, it’s not that I didn’t want to eat with them.
But when Su Wan thought of Xie Pei waiting for her "pitifully" in the Guandi Temple, she felt a little bit sorry for him?
This guy is really something. Even though we know he is pretending, we still feel soft-hearted.
Guard Xiao Song was carrying a few food boxes slowly and was hesitating about what to say, but he didn't expect that Lady Officer Su Wan spoke herself!
When His Majesty asked him to invite the lady-in-waiting to have dinner together, he was afraid that the lady-in-waiting would refuse!
In this world, only Lady Su Wan can refuse something so straightforwardly and leave no room for rebuttal.
While Guard Xiao Song was stunned, Su Wan also picked up a food box, but she did not go towards the Qianqing Palace, but went directly to the Guandi Temple next door.
Guard Xiao Song:!!! You guessed it!
It’s not really a guess, but Su Wan knows Xie Pei too well, so he must be here.
Since we are going to wait for her, it is natural that we have to go to a place that is familiar to both of us and that we miss.
Sure enough, it was still a familiar place, even the furnishings were familiar, and even the incense burning in front of the Guandi Temple seemed to be the same as before.
But before, Xie Pei was mostly alone here, and the two of them were only together at breakfast.
But Su Wan rarely came for lunch or dinner. Her attention was elsewhere at that time, and she could only devote limited time to Xie Pei.
Even breakfast was eaten together, not like today when I was here to accompany him.
When seeing Su Wan coming, one person couldn't hide his smile. Even if he suppressed the corners of his mouth, one could tell that his handsome face had a slight curve.
What else but snickering?
The original table had been moved by Xie Pei to the Guanxin Hall near the Shangshenjian, but this table was the same as the original one, just right for one person, but a bit crowded for two people.
But this is exactly the effect Xie Pei wants.
After the guards around him left, he and Su Wan were the only ones left in the Guandi Temple, so they naturally had to squeeze together to eat.
The answer is that the weather is cold in autumn, so eating together tastes better.
Don’t ask whether the answers are logical, just ask if he is willing to say it that way!
Su Wan saw him finishing setting the food in a serious manner, and even patted the stool beside him, and deliberately asked, "Why don't you sit down?"
Can you sit on this? The stools can obviously be placed on both sides, but Xie Pei put them side by side. Why doesn't he sit on his lap to eat?
"Why don't you put the two stools together? Wouldn't it be closer that way?" Su Wan had just finished saying this when she felt that something was wrong.
Xie Pei raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, when the two stools were put together, people who didn’t know would really think there was no place to sit in the Guandi Temple.
She shouldn't have brought up this topic!
But the stools are already there, so just sit on them.
The two of them ate side by side and didn't feel it was crowded. I guess this is the happiness of young couples.
The food Su Wan cooks is always delicious. Today’s chicken legs in tomato sauce, corn and mushroom porridge with rock sugar, winter melon and pig’s trotter soup, and the last popcorn, are still amazing.
The well-seasoned chicken thighs are sweet and sour, the porridge is sweet and refreshing without being greasy, and the green beans balance the taste.
The winter melon and pig's trotter soup has almost cleared away all the oil, leaving it with a refreshing and meaty taste.
The popcorn has a fluffy and airy texture. In Su Wan's opinion, it is not crispy enough and does not have the best effect, but it is already surprising to most people.
Every dish tastes different and every dish is delicious.
Xie Pei finished the last bit of porridge, and his face showed obvious satisfaction.
He likes the food cooked by Su Wan the most, but whether he can eat it depends on whether Wan Wan is free. A table full of dishes cooked by Wan Wan is a luxury for him!
So those ministers who are clamoring every day to eat Su Wan’s cooking are still queuing up, let alone you?
Just wait and see, it depends on Wanwan's mood.
Every time Su Wan saw Xie Pei eating the food she cooked, she felt like laughing. He was an emperor after all, but how could he like to eat so much?
After the meal was ready, to Su Wan's surprise, the menu was immediately spread to several kitchens in the palace, and even the dessert department was preparing to make popcorn.
Of course, I also asked Su Wan for her opinion first.
That’s no problem at all, and popcorn can also be sold in a dessert shop!
Deputy Li Cheng, the top boss of the Dessert Department, raised his eyebrows: "The Dessert Shop is going to have another food that people will line up to buy."
Anyway, the food and snacks that come out of Su Wan's place always become popular in Kyoto.
We are all getting used to it!
Who makes these delicacies really delicious!
If it was just known as the Imperial Palace in the past, people in Kyoto would follow this trend.
Now that I heard it was the work of Kong Zhang Sheren, I had to learn it! Any store that didn't learn it would be a fool.
At this point, a rumor has been circulating that some dessert shops even want to enshrine Kong Zhang Sheren, so that he will bless them to ensure that the desserts they make will never fail.
Unfortunately, everyone knew that Su Wan didn’t believe in such things and didn’t dare to do them at all. They could only secretly regard Su Wan as their ancestor.
The emergence of baking soda has really changed many desserts.
Time passes by little by little.
It can be said that the Tianxiang Kingdom is now full of vitality, as if there is always something new.
Everyone was also accustomed to the fact that Tianxiang Kingdom had such an approachable and intelligent future queen.
Even her fellow officials are used to it.
Some of the brave ones even dared to point out things that Su Wan was not familiar with or occasional omissions.
The first official who pointed it out was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and almost fell to his knees. Unexpectedly, after a careful inspection, Su Wan quickly admitted her mistake and expressed her gratitude to her colleagues.
Since then, Su Wan's reputation in Kyoto has skyrocketed, which even Su Wan herself is confused.
Not really, really not!
What should we do?
During this period, Su Wan also attended the wedding of Yu Shu and Chai Huan. The Chai family probably didn't expect that the future queen not only sent gifts but also attended the banquet.
It turns out that their daughter-in-law has a good relationship with the future queen. Is this true?
No wonder His Majesty also casually asked about this marriage at the beginning, the root of the problem is really here!
The Chai family's attitude towards Shu changed 180 degrees.
How much I looked down on her before, how much I respect her now. Not to mention the future queen's status and position, who is she? She is Kong Zhang Sheren, and she is the future queen!
Your Majesty has not married yet and has no concubines in the harem. Don’t you understand this attitude?
They are just waiting for Lady Su Wan.
And now some people are secretly discussing the name of the country.
This year is the fourth year of Tianwan.
Is it just a coincidence that the name of the country contains the character "I love Wan"? Although it is different from the "Wan" in "Su Wan", what's the difference?

Although I already know the feelings between His Majesty and Lady Su Wan, the fact that he could achieve this is beyond description.

Even the relationship is already very good.
Thinking about it this way, is the character "Wan" in Tian Wan really possible? !
It might be impossible for another emperor, but His Majesty can definitely do such a thing!
Su Wan didn't know how her last little secret was analyzed out just because she was attending a wedding.
Xie Pei raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "They are too slow to realize it now."
He had no intention of hiding it from the beginning.
Su Wan looked at him and wondered why, as the wedding got closer, Xie Pei looked more like a peacock spreading its tail.
Every time Su Wan looked at him like this, Xie Pei would always look back on purpose, and even enjoyed this kind of gaze.
The guards nearby simply couldn't bear to watch.
Don’t they seem redundant standing here?
Xie Pei finally said: "We should get married this year. It would be too late to get married next year."
Guards: Okay, we are indeed redundant!
