Chapter 1048 Someone in the Secret Realm
"Your Highness and Princess are having dinner now. Is there anything?"
"I'm Lao Wan, the cook at the villa. The prince knows me. Can I go in and pay my respects to the prince and princess?"
Lao Wan really wanted to go in and see the seafood and see how Fu Zhaoning made it. Moreover, Xiao Lanyuan did recognize him and they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Now that the prince was here, could he not go and pay his respects?
"I also want to apologize to the princess. It was my fault that I was blind and did not recognize her before, and even asked her to cook for me personally—"
Fu Zhaoning heard Lao Wan's voice inside, wiped his hands, and said to Xiao Lanyuan, "I'll go out and talk to him."
"Not eating anymore?"
"I'm full already. You should also be more moderate and don't eat too much at once."
It was the first time she saw Xiao Lanyuan indulge his appetite and eat so much. Normally, he was very controlled when eating.
"I know." Xiao Lanyuan was still eating noodles with sliced snails. The sauces were delicious, and the noodles tasted better after being boiled and then rinsed with cold water.
Fu Zhaoning was about to leave when Xiao Lanyuan added, "If Lao Wan ignores you and despises you again, don't give him face."
Although he had eaten food cooked by Lao Wan when he was a child, he would never allow Lao Wan to look down on and bully Fu Zhaoning just because of this.
Sometimes he felt that Fu Zhaoning was too easy-going and didn't want to use his status to pressure others.
"I see. He should be here for the seafood."
Fu Zhaoning actually doesn't mind telling others this cooking method, but it depends on Lao Wan's attitude.
When she went out, Lao Wan and Xiao Cheng looked up and saw that it was really her. They both bowed at the same time.
"Meet Princess Jun."
"Please forgive me, Princess."
Fu Zhaoning smiled and asked, "What crime do you want to forgive?"
"We have neglected the princess—"
"That's okay. I can see you were really busy at the time. I was planning to make these seafood myself at first."
"seafood?"
"Yeah, it's seafood."
"Princess, the dishes we prepared tonight were originally for entertaining you—"
When Lao Wan said this, Xiao Cheng looked at him.
Are you going to entertain the prince and Princess Fuyun? Didn't Lu Guo say that it doesn't matter what happens to Princess Jun?
Lao Wan probably couldn't continue speaking.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter whether I'm invited or not. Anyway, I'm enjoying my meal now. You don't have to care about it. Go back."
After listening to what Lao Wan said, Fu Zhaoning understood that their original intention was just to entertain Princess Fuyun well.
She wasn't prepared to enthusiastically teach Lao Wan how to cook this seafood. After all, he was a cook, so he could figure it out on his own.
Regarding Chengyun Villa, when Fu Zhaoning heard Xiao Lanyuan's introduction, he actually had some ideas. Since the villa had done so many good deeds and promoted Zhixu Town, perhaps it could use the power of the villa to hold a free clinic in Zhixu Town.
Since she has been eating seafood all these years, she can see if there are any gout patients and talk about seafood allergies and the like.
But now she is still quite disappointed with Chengyun Villa, from top to bottom.
It seemed impossible to rely on Chengyun Villa, so she gave up the idea and decided to meet the master of Youqing Temple first.
"Princess Jun, I actually want to ask——"
Lao Wan really wanted to ask how those seafood were made, because he saw that Fu Zhaoning was very kind and really didn't have the airs of a princess.
But Fu Zhaoning didn't want to talk about it anymore.
She waved her hand, and Qing Yi and the others stepped forward and asked them to leave.
Seeing the posture of the palace guards, Lao Wan and the others didn't dare to dawdle.
After walking away for a while, Xiaocheng felt a little angry.
"Uncle Wan, you've listened to Lu Guo's nonsense again. If you hadn't believed her bad words about the princess, the princess would definitely have told you how to make that big crab."
"I didn't expect the princess to be so different from what Lu Guo described. This time, I was really fooled by that girl Lu Guo!"
Lao Wan was also a little annoyed.
"When they go to Youqing Peak tomorrow, Luguo will definitely say these words to the people around the abbot, and then it will harm the princess." Xiaocheng said.
"Aren't you going to Youqing Peak tomorrow too? That's perfect. You can go and keep an eye on them and stop Luguo from talking nonsense."
"Yeah! I'll keep an eye on her." Xiaocheng clenched his fists.
He has never liked green fruits.
After hearing what Xiao Lanyuan said, Madam Cheng felt sad and a little disappointed, but also helpless.
That night, everyone could only go to bed with their own thoughts.
The next morning, Mrs. Cheng asked people to prepare breakfast, hoping that they would eat before going up to Youqing Peak, but unexpectedly they received the news.
"What did you say? Prince Jun and his men have already set out early?"
"Yes, Madam, the prince said he would tell you when you come in. Because he wanted to take the princess to appreciate the scenery of Youqing Peak, he went up the mountain early."
Mrs. Cheng almost fainted.
How come we are already here and not waiting for her to go together!
When the master of Youqing Peak sees that they went separately, he will definitely know that Prince Jun has become estranged from her.
The master of the temple would probably think that she didn’t do well.
"Pack up some things early and take them with you. Let's hurry up to the mountain now. Maybe we can arrive with them."
Princess Fuyun originally wanted to carefully select and prepare her appearance and clothes, but now she was suddenly in a hurry to leave, and she didn't even have enough time.
But Mrs. Cheng didn't know that Xiao Lanyuan took Fu Zhaoning away before dawn.
"There is an unknown hanging platform halfway up Youqing Peak. At this time of year, if you go there early in the morning, you might be able to see the sea of clouds and the sunrise. The scenery is so beautiful that it is beyond description. I'm here just in time, so I'll take you to see it."
Fu Zhaoning became interested, "Maybe there are good medicinal herbs in places with such beautiful scenery."
“You can even think of collecting herbs?” Xiao Lanyuan shook his head and laughed.
He mainly wanted to take Fu Zhaoning to visit the places he had been to since he was a child, and let her participate in his past.
When he arrived at the foot of Youqing Peak, Fu Zhaoning was a little surprised.
Because this mountain road is smoother and easier to walk on than she imagined, but she can't see the road above from this perspective. The forest is dense and full of vitality.
Xiao Lanyuan said that the carriage could only go halfway up the mountain, and the rest would require walking up the stairs. When we got to Youqing Temple, there was often snow.
This mountain is somewhat special.
As we rode up the mountain in a carriage, the air was extremely fresh. The birds hadn't even woken up to sing yet. All we could hear was the sound of their carriage and the sound of horse hooves.
It was very quiet.
As soon as I climbed the mountain, I felt this kind of quietness. What about when I reached the top? Thinking that Xiao Lanyuan had lived here for so many years, Fu Zhaoning felt that he was quite patient.
After turning around a few times, Qing Yi's voice came, "Prince, we're here. Huh? Is there anyone?"
Xiao Lanyuan didn't expect that other people would come to this secret place that only he knew about.
He helped Fu Zhaoning get off the carriage and looked towards the platform over there.
