Song Wei hadn't seen Ning Ran for a long time, so today Princess Ning Ran invited her and Murong Shu to have lunch at her house. Murong Shu knew that Ning Ran had a poor appetite recently, so she took the initiative to go to the kitchen to teach her how to make some side dishes suitable for pregnant women.
"Aunt Ning, I see that you haven't had a good appetite recently. Why don't you let Shu'er go to the kitchen to cook some delicious home-cooked dishes for Aunt Ning to try?" Murong Shu felt that he should still ask the hostess when in someone else's home, otherwise it would be too presumptuous.
"Shu'er can do all these? But Shu'er has been busy for the whole morning. Will Shu'er be tired if she cooks again?" Ning Ran has no appetite recently, but deep down she is craving for food.
"No, Aunt Ning. Besides, there are so many people helping in the kitchen. Many things are done by the cooks. Shu'er just needs to teach them." Murong Shu said with a smile. In fact, she also prepared in this way. She would take care of the key steps and let the people in the kitchen do the rest.
"Then you'll have to work hard, Shu'er. Ma'am, take Shu'er to the kitchen and let them fully assist Shu'er." The princess ordered her ma'am to go to the kitchen with Murong Shu, mainly because she was afraid that the people in the kitchen would not listen to Murong Shu.
"Mother, I will accompany Shu'er and learn from her. When you want to eat in the future, Mingyue will cook for you." Jun Mingyue spoke before the nanny answered. She wanted to accompany Shu'er.
"Then let's go together!" Murong Shu directly asked them to go together. One was a daughter who wanted to do something for her mother, and the other was a loyal nanny. Murong Shu was reluctant to refuse either of them.
"Hey, Miss Mu, please come this way!" The nanny led the way excitedly. God knows how anxious she was because the princess couldn't eat these days. Today she must learn well from Miss Mu.
"Shu'er is the best." When Jun Mingyue heard that she could go too, she became very excited and walked towards the kitchen with Murong Shu.
"Look at her, she's still just like a little kid!" Ning Ran couldn't help but sigh to Song Wei as she looked at the lively Jun Mingyue.
"They are children after all. Look, Shu'er is one too." Song Wei was very happy to see the two little girls getting along so well.
"Wei'er, what are your plans for Shu'er's marriage? I see that Young Master Wen is very special to Shu'er. Is he pursuing Shu'er?" Ning Ran was not gossiping; anyone with eyes could see it.
"Ran'er, to be honest with you, neither her father nor I have the say on Shu'er's marriage. Everything depends on fate. Her master, Taoist Shan Gu, once said that only if she meets her destined person can her life be smooth." Song Wei was a little sad when she said this. She didn't know how to find this destined person.
"Then is the Third Young Master Wen her destined man?" Ning Ran couldn't help but feel worried for Murong Shu after hearing Song Wei's explanation.
"Alas, we don't know either. Maybe fate has already determined it. I don't have any requirements for Shu'er's other half. As long as he can ensure my daughter's safety throughout her life, whether he is a prince or a poor commoner, our Mu family is willing."
"Wei'er, don't worry. Shu'er will definitely find that person." Ning Ran comforted her good friend, but she felt that Wen Jing was more like the destined person.
"Ran'er, now that you are pregnant again, are you still planning to find a son-in-law for the princess?" King Zhenshan has been talking about this for years, so Song Wei believed it to be true.
"How could you believe the prince's joke? I never planned to find a son-in-law for Mingyue. I hope she can find her own happiness instead of sacrificing for the prince's palace." Ning Ran felt sad when she thought that her daughter didn't want to get married and only wanted to find a son-in-law. She understood her daughter's thoughts, but she did not accept her sacrifice.
"Ah, because the prince has been saying that, I thought it was a joint decision by you. So when I find a suitable candidate in the future, I must introduce him to Mingyue." Song Wei joked with a smile.
"You still love to play matchmaker. Let me persuade Mingyue. You keep an eye on Mingyue first. I may not be able to go out for a while." Ning Ran entrusted this matter to Song Wei.
"Don't worry, I promise to choose a man for Mingyue who is as caring as her father." Then the two of them laughed together.
At this moment, Murong Shu and Princess Mingyue also arrived in the kitchen.
When the people in the kitchen saw Princess Mingyue and the nanny who was in charge of the princess coming together, they immediately became nervous, wondering if something had happened.
"Don't be nervous, this is Miss Mu. Your mother hasn't had a good appetite recently, so I'm here to teach you some delicious side dishes. Those of you who are good at cooking can come and learn, and the rest of you can do your own things." Seeing that everyone was nervous, Jun Mingyue directly stated her purpose.
"I'm Cui'er, your servant, and I'm willing to learn from Miss Mu!" A cook named Cui'er stood up directly.
"How's your cooking skills?" Murong Shu wanted to ask about the basics, otherwise he would be slow to teach and wouldn't know anything.
“Before my family fell into poverty, we ran a tavern. The dishes here were cooked by me and my father,” Cui Er explained to Murong Shu.
"Okay, then it's you. And you can get someone who is quick and nimble, who can make a fire and wash vegetables." Murong Shu still needs someone to do odd jobs.
"Your servant Xiaohong is willing to obey Miss Mu's orders." A slightly thin girl stood up. Murong Shu took a look at Xiaohong and saw that she was a capable girl.
"You two come with me, the rest of you get busy!" Murong Shu left the two of them behind and sent the rest to do their own things. They couldn't let themselves delay the progress of the entire kitchen.
"What ingredients are in the kitchen today?" Murong Shu first asked Cui'er about the ingredients in the kitchen today.
"Shu'er, see if there is anything you can use. If not, I will arrange for someone to buy it now." Princess Mingyue was afraid that there would not be enough ingredients in the kitchen, which would affect Murong Shu's performance.
"Don't worry, Princess. I'll go check it out first. It's a bit too late to buy food now. We can use the ingredients available in the cafeteria to make delicious food." Murong Shu comforted Jun Mingyue when he saw that she was eager to buy ingredients immediately.
"Yes, yes, listen to Shu'er, and you two should listen to Miss Mu too. If you do a good job, I will reward you." Jun Mingyue emphasized this to Cui'er and Xiaohong again.
"It's the princess!" The two had only been in the palace for a short time and had never had the opportunity to see the princess at such a close distance, so they were still a little nervous.
Seeing that the two girls were nervous, Jun Mingyue thought that she was too fierce and scared them, so she tried to smile more kindly, but it made the two little girls even more nervous.
Jun Mingyue could only helplessly follow Murong Shu to choose the ingredients. The nanny wanted to laugh when watching from behind. Her own princess was so adorable. She would later tell the princess about the interesting things that happened here to make her happy. She also hoped that the princess could give birth to a little prince this time, and then the palace would be even more perfect.
