Lian Xingchen's expression darkened slightly, as if he was looking at Yun Duoduo with displeasure.
[That princess of Nanyang is indeed up to no good.]
"As I said, I'm on a diet."
[Oh my god, my temper is raging!]
This young man is really hard to please!
Yun Duoduo looked at him speechlessly. What could she do with such a rebellious, flamboyant teenager? Just go along with it!
After that, no matter what Lian Xingchen talked to her about, she would just nod and smile, but never refute him.
Say things like, "Yes, that's right, what Your Majesty said makes sense, isn't that so? Is there really such a thing?"
He said, "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, Your Majesty's considerations are thorough, and everything Your Majesty says is correct."
"Sigh, that's life..."
Saying things like, "That's how it is, sigh, I've met people like that before..." made Lian Xingchen very happy.
Yun Duoduo couldn't help but wonder how such a young man could make such a fortune in the treacherous business world and become so wealthy!
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was evening.
Yun Duoduo was wondering why Lian Xingchen was still staying in her palace, but she didn't want to ask him directly.
Does this young man not have a home of his own?
[Could it be that they intend to stay overnight at Pear Blossom Palace?]
Today, Yun Duoduo really had her eyes opened.
The Shu Kingdom really has all sorts of strange and wonderful people!
"Duoduo, it's already late. Aren't you going to invite your brother to have dinner?"
Lian Xingchen looked at Yun Duoduo tentatively.
How could she dare to ask? Otherwise, she would be accused of plotting to murder a prince!
[You old rascal, weren't you trying to lose weight?]
How can someone trying to lose weight eat dinner?!
Besides, didn't you just have one meal?
Yun Duoduo was completely speechless this time. None of the novels she had read told her what to do in this situation.
[Any good ideas? I need help urgently, I'm waiting online.]
"Would Your Majesty like to stay for lunch?"
She regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.
This guy will probably call her stingy again!
Oh my god, someone please save her!
For the sake of Nanyang's reputation, Yun Duoduo endured it.
Seeing that Lian Xingchen did not refuse, Yun Duoduo quickly said, "Ah? Oh, A Xiang, go and tell the kitchen to prepare dinner."
Ah Xiang hurried out; ever since this Prince Kuan arrived, she hadn't had a moment's peace.
"Brother, are there any dietary restrictions?"
"There are no dietary restrictions, so just let the kitchen prepare whatever they like."
King Lian Xingchen waved his chubby hand dismissively.
"As I said, I'm on a diet."
He finished speaking and let out a heavy sigh.
How many more times does he have to repeat himself? This girl doesn't seem to be very bright!
Are all the people of Shu this stupid?!
Has this princess ever been to school?
"Ideally, there would be ginseng and astragalus stewed with white phoenix, mountain delicacies with large-leaf celery, long spring rolls, skillfully roasted wild goose, and sausage fried rice." Lian Xingchen sighed softly.
[This princess knows nothing; it seems only he can tell her. What a hassle.]
"These ingredients must be fresh. The wild geese should be freshly slaughtered. We should find a skilled and beautiful cook to prepare them personally."
Yun Duoduo was stunned. This little darling has so many demands?!
Ordering food is one thing, but ordering such obscure and uncommon dishes is another!
Where can we get him freshly slaughtered geese and kites?
What kind of poultry is this? She's never even heard of it.
Besides, she's just staying at Pear Blossom Palace, not her home. Where would she go to do all this nonsense?
"Oh, right, I'm on a diet, so please don't give me too much. I'll just have a taste."
[Seriously, this is amazing, even more amazing than Jue Wei duck neck...]
Lian Xingchen often ate at Lihua Palace when he was a child.
Ever since he came of age, he has been doing business and making money in the northern part of Shu Kingdom. Ah, no, he is revitalizing the economy of Shu Kingdom!
Having been traveling, I haven't eaten palace food for a long time and miss it dearly.
"Okay, Aunt Xiang, remember that? Go help the kitchen prepare as instructed by Prince Kuan," Yun Duoduo instructed.
"Yes, Princess."
The servants went to the kitchen to help. Some went to buy chickens, some washed vegetables, and others boiled water, kneaded dough, chopped meat, and picked vegetables. In no time, the kitchen was crowded with people.
The palace maids in the kitchen couldn't help but start gossiping: "Isn't Princess Nanyang only eight or nine years old?"
"How can one person eat so much?"
"Yes, I can't figure it out either!"
Several palace maids were filled with doubts.
"Do you think we should report this to Her Majesty the Empress?"
“No need, it’s nothing serious. Don’t you know it’s Prince Kuan who’s here?” said an older aunt.
"Ah, I see. Then let's get ready."
"Otherwise, if His Highness Prince Kuan is not satisfied with the food, he will definitely come looking for trouble!"
"you do not say!"
Yun Duoduo and Lian Xingchen were chatting in the front hall. After an hour, Lian Xingchen's stomach growled twice. He rubbed his protruding belly, his face full of affection and reluctance. "Duoduo, why hasn't the food been served yet?"
"My body is so precious, what if my little belly gets hungry?"
"Could it be that Duoduo is so stingy, saying she wants me to stay for dinner, but actually intending to starve me and then kick me out?!"
Lian Xingchen's face showed anger.
What does all this have to do with anything?!
Why is even Jiucheng's cousin acting out a drama in his head?
It's because his requirements are too demanding; how could an average chef meet them?!
"No..." Yun Duoduo hurriedly explained.
"The food is served!"
Just as I was explaining, the powerful voice of the cook from the kitchen came from outside the door.
"A bowl of pork bone and corn soup! A braised roundfish with ham!"
"A plate of sweet and sour pork ribs! A whole braised chicken with ginseng and astragalus!"
"A plate of wild celery with large leaves! Six spring rolls! A skillfully roasted wild goose! A bowl of Yangzhou fried rice!"
The dishes were served one by one, each in a small dish.
Looking at the table full of food, Yun Duoduo couldn't help but exclaim, "The chefs of Shu are truly amazing! They can cook even with such strict requirements!"
It seems they've suffered quite a bit at Lian Xingchen's hands.
Yun Duoduo seemed to understand something. Lian Xingchen was taking advantage of her youth and her lack of understanding, using her as a pawn.
"This dish looks just average."
"Why is there so little?"
Yun Duoduo stared wide-eyed at his casual, sarcastic remarks. Wasn't this what he asked for? Didn't he say he wanted to lose weight?
What a master at shifting blame!
In the future, when dealing with this guy, we still need to have everything in black and white, with his signature, fingerprints, and other formalities!
"Duoduo, these bowls and plates are too small. They're not even enough to fill my teeth."
Yun Duoduo couldn't take it anymore. She pointed at Lian Xingchen and yelled, "Lian Xingchen, are you going to eat or not?!"
