If Ye Han knew Yue Chengyu's thoughts, he'd definitely shake his shoulders and ask, "Brother, which spy have you seen so high-profile?!" Of course, Ye Han didn't know that showing off all this would arouse suspicion. Of course, no one is stupid. Even Ye Han herself would have been suspicious if she saw someone else show off so many things she'd never seen before. However, Ye Han reasoned that nothing was beyond scrutiny, not to mention the fact that they were planning to build a modern house, which would inevitably expose them. It would be better to reveal a little now, lay the groundwork, and then observe and see if there was any chance of him confessing. After all, this system of hers was not only harmless to Da Yue, but could actually be quite beneficial if used effectively. Of course, this required observation and testing. If she didn't even fully understand the other party's true abilities, being burned as a demon would be no fun.
In the midst of the two people's rich inner activities, the pot soon boiled. Ye Han introduced Yue Chengyu who was already seated.
"This is spicy, and this is not spicy. Put your favorite dishes into the flavor you want to eat." Then he handed Yue Chengyu two bowls of ingredients and introduced, "This is a sesame sauce dish, and this is an oil sauce dish. Choose according to your personal taste. However, I suggest that the spicy pot be paired with an oil sauce, and the non-spicy dish be paired with this bowl of sesame sauce dish. Your Highness can try it." Ye Han introduced to Yue Chengyu with a beaming face, and it can be seen that he was very excited.
"It looks good." Yue Chengyu said and put the vegetables he had on hand into the pot, adding a little on both sides.
"Just say that you won't let the prince down."
"This way of eating is quite novel. Did the princess come up with it herself?" Yue Chengyu pretended to ask casually, but was actually testing him.
"That's not the case. I was inspired by a book and improved the recipe based on the instructions in the book." Ye Han treated Yue Chengyu's challenge with an unchanged expression.
"Really? It seems the princess is very smart."
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness. The food is ready to be eaten. Your Highness, please try it." Ye Han said with a smile, pretending not to hear Yue Chengyu's hidden meaning.
"It's really good, very delicious." Yue Chengyu took a bite, his eyes flashing with surprise, and then he praised it generously. "That's right, this spiciness is not the taste of dogwood, right? I wonder what spices the princess used?"
“It’s chili peppers.”
"Chili? What is it?"
"I bought it from a Hu merchant. It's a spicy seasoning."
.......
In this way, the hot pot meal seemed to be quite harmonious on the surface, but the two people had already had several rounds of confrontation through language. One was testing each other in every sentence, and the other was playing dumb the whole time to block it. They mixed the truth with lies, and said everything in a watertight manner, making it impossible for people to find any flaws.
