"Your Majesty, you are just doing this to make it easier for the princes to eat secretly, right?" Duan Tingxuan turned around with resentment, only to hear the emperor scolding him with a smile: "You bastard, how dare you judge others with your mean heart? Even if the princes eat secretly, they are eating ours, why are you making so much noise? I don't believe your wife will die of exhaustion after making more food, come to me quickly."
Duan Tingxuan had no choice but to let go of Su Nuannuan's hand and said earnestly, "Madam, please go. Remember, it doesn't matter if the three of them help or not, but you must keep an eye on them and don't let them eat secretly, otherwise you will suffer, because these guys are big eaters."
Watching her husband and the emperor leave from behind the screen, Su Nuannuan didn't know what expression she should make. She heard the smiling urging voices of the prince and others, and she suddenly remembered the question she had raised when she talked to Duan Tingxuan about the rebellion of Prince Xiangyang before, which was: the emperor has a queen, and the princes are all excellent. Prince Xiangyang has no choice but to rebel openly. But under the peace and prosperity of the country, open rebellion can only lead to death. How could such a smart person not see this clearly?
At that time, Duan Tingxuan said that this was exactly what he couldn't figure out. But at this time and place, after seeing the royal family of Da Yin, Su Nuannuan suddenly felt that she had found the answer: How the hell is this a royal family? It's just a funny family, okay? If the King of Xiangyang wants to rebel, it can be dealt with in minutes, right? In addition, it is said that this guy has never set foot in the capital since he became a fief. It is possible that he was irritated by his eldest brother's family and was ashamed to associate with them, so he simply hid in the fiefdom to avoid seeing them and being bothered. As for what Duan Tingxuan said about the emperor and the princes being excellent and wise, well, it should be just mutual flattery among the same kind, and it may not be accurate.
Su Nuannuan's impression of the royal family was completely shattered, and she couldn't stop herself from making the most malicious assumptions about this family. Fortunately, cooking was almost like her instinct. This allowed her to accurately find her position in the kitchen despite the constant complaints.
The princes were not here to help, and they were not here to eat. They were just curious about Su Nuannuan, so they wanted to see with their own eyes how this legendary woman (according to the description of the young marquis) made all those delicious dishes.
But this was just an idea before. As the candied fruit platter, chicken wonton, lotus leaf rice, ants climbing trees, lettuce pork rolls, cucumber and peanuts and other cold dishes and hot dishes were freshly prepared, the princes finally couldn't help themselves.
As the crown prince, Jiang Changyue took on the task of "leading by example" as a matter of course and willingly tried a chicken wonton in the name of "testing the food". Who would have thought that after this taste, he couldn't stop using his chopsticks, and soon picked up the second and third. While he was eating like rain, he heard his two younger brothers beside him ask him hopefully: "Brother Crown Prince, are these wontons delicious?"
"Hmm! It tastes just normal to me, I don't think it's anything special."
As the prince spoke, he scooped up two wontons with his chopsticks and put them into his mouth, inhaling without caring about the heat.
"Why do you eat so much if it doesn't taste good?" The second prince and the fourth prince were not fools. As soon as they saw it, the prince had given up his identity and face to cheat, and he even lied so cheaply. Need I say how delicious this thing is? The two of them shouted in unison, and the second prince Jiang Changning picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a lettuce and pork roll and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he shouted, "Delicious, wow! This is delicious. It turns out that lettuce and pork taste so good together? What seasoning did you use? By the way, how is this pancake made? There is no trace of greasy fragrance, but it is refreshing. Brother Prince, is this the lotus leaf pancake that you said must be eaten with roast duck? It's delicious, so delicious..."
"Really? Let me have one too. I like lotus leaf cakes the most. They are thin and rely on the sweet fragrance of flour to enhance the flavor. They are really fragrant and not greasy." The prince shouted and decisively moved his chopsticks. However, he heard the fourth prince Jiang Chang beside him also shouted: "Hahaha, you guys eat, I just want this fruit platter. My sister-in-law just said, what is this called? Candied fruit? Oh, this is last year's hawthorn. It's really appetizing to make it sweet and sour. The queen has no appetite these days. I guarantee that she will feel better after eating this."
"You knew it was for the queen, but you still couldn't stop eating it?"
Su Nuannuan couldn't help it any longer. She muttered something in a low voice, looking at the dozen or so imperial chefs who were actually helping her. She touched the chef next to her and said, "I say, are you guys not going to do anything about it? Just let... these princes eat all the food we worked so hard to make?"
The imperial chef wiped his sweat and looked at Su Nuannuan cautiously: "What does Madam mean? Do you want us to control the princes and stop them from eating secretly?"
"Yeah, if you don't take care of it, they'll just eat it all up."
Su Nuannuan nodded as a matter of course, but saw that the imperial chef's face suddenly turned bitter, and whispered: "Madam, this kind of thing... is usually not something that someone like me can do. Even if I want to manage it, at least you have to ask me. I'm just a cook. How can I manage the princes? And I have to tell them not to steal food? Do you still want my head?"
Su Nuannuan knocked her forehead: I am so stupid, so stupid. I am really stupid. Letting the imperial chef take care of the princes, what kind of crazy idea is this?
It seems that we can only let these thieves continue to steal food. Su Nuannuan thought angrily, and shook the wok. A ball of flames jumped up. She sneered in her heart, thinking that I let you steal food, I let you steal food, I can't scare you to death.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard some clapping nearby, and the Second Prince shouted, "My sister-in-law actually has this ability, well done."
Before he finished speaking, the Fourth Prince echoed beside him, "This requires a lot of strength. I heard Tingxuan say that he taught his younger brother and sister-in-law a few moves at home. So it was for this. It turns out that guy really has good intentions for food."
The prince was silent. Su Nuannuan thought that as the crown prince, he had maintained his dignity and was relieved. But when she turned around, she saw that he was not silent at all. His mouth was full and his cheeks were bulging. He had handsome features, but they were on such a fat face. It was like a pearl hidden in the dark.
Turning her head away in frustration, Su Nuannuan felt that she shouldn't have held out hope for these foodies. Prince? Pah! These were just three pigs. What did the royal style have to do with them?
