Chapter Twenty-Eight
"Where have you been running around today, you little rascal?" The old princess was delighted to see Xu Qing.
"Grandmother." Xu Qingshi obediently took the old princess's hand.
He thought to himself, if his father beat him up later, his grandmother should be able to protect him, right?
"Your Highness, the young prince must be hungry. Why don't you have someone prepare some food for him and Your Highness?" Li Zhiwei looked at the happy scene between the grandmother and grandson and had no intention of disturbing them. Instead, she smiled and said.
“Stepmother, you’re from Li’an County, why don’t you make me some local specialties from Li’an County?” Now that he had his grandmother’s support, Xu Qingshi felt that he no longer needed Li Zhiwei, and his little schemes started to play tricks on him again.
After hearing Xu Qingshi's words, the old princess did not refute them. Li'an County was not far from the capital, and she was also curious about the local specialties.
However, she didn't think Li Zhiwei would do anything.
However, among the people Li Zhiwei brought, there must have been a cook.
Li Zhiwei's job is at most to talk.
“If the young prince likes it, then I will show off my skills to the young prince and the old princess.” Li Zhiwei was stunned for a moment. She did not expect Xu Qingshi to make this request.
And you know what? Back when she was at home, besides enjoying following her father to the shop to learn how to run a business, she also loved creating delicious food.
Thinking of Xu Qingshi and the old princess, one old and one young, Li Zhiwei already had a plan in mind for what to do for them.
"Then I and Qing Shi are in for a treat," the old princess said with a smile.
Li Zhiwei took the milk that Cuiguo had prepared for her early this morning and went to make some double-skin milk for the old princess and Xu Qingshi.
This isn't actually a local delicacy from Li'an County; rather, it's something she created unintentionally.
When Li Zhiwei brought two bowls of double-skin milk to the two of them, Xu Qingshi looked at the two bowls of milky-scented things in front of him.
"What is this thing?" Xu Qingshi asked, even though his eyes were almost glued to the fragrant double-skin milk pudding.
On their faces, they also had to put on an air of complete disdain.
"Zhiwei, what's this called? This old woman finds it quite unusual." The old princess was very pleased with the sweet aroma.
"Your Highness, this is called double-skin milk pudding. Please try it." Li Zhiwei handed a bowl of double-skin milk pudding to the old princess.
"You didn't poison it, did you?"
Just as the old princess was about to take the bowl from Li Zhiwei's hand, Xu Qingshi suddenly spoke up and asked.
Li Zhiwei paused.
She was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
"What nonsense are you talking about, child?" The old princess, who had been stunned for a long time, quickly took the bowl from Li Zhiwei's hand.
“Grandmother, I was just worried that she might have ulterior motives,” Xu Qingshi said with a displeased expression.
"Isn't this the person you found? Don't tell me you want to harm your grandmother?" The old princess ignored the child's unreasonable tantrum; her heart was already set on the bowl of delicious food in front of her.
The old princess first scooped out a small spoonful.
She's getting old, and although she likes sweets, she doesn't eat too much; she usually just has a small taste.
In addition, she is getting old and doesn't like greasy or hard foods.
However, since she regarded Li Zhiwei as her daughter-in-law, she decided to give her face and eat a few more bites.
However, when the old princess scooped up a spoonful of double-skin milk and put it in her mouth, she was stunned.
This stuff smells sweet and melts in your mouth.
However, the sweetness is just right.
