"Don't worry, don't worry, the princess will understand and won't blame you. You can start cooking now! I'll bring the princess a bowl of porridge to whet her appetite first." After saying that, Xiaolian left first, and the chef rolled up his sleeves to prepare to start.
Over here, Su Lixia had already gotten up and washed up by herself, and Xiao Lian came in just as she sat down.
"Why did the princess get up by herself? There's no one to serve her." Xiaolian rolled her eyes at the maid beside her.
"Huh?" Su Lixia patted her and said, "I'm just not used to being served by them, so I did it myself."
Xiao Lian understood, and then waved to the little palace maid, signaling her to leave.
The food box was opened, and Xiaolian brought out the porridge and side dishes, saying, "Princess, please have something simple to eat first. I've already asked the kitchen to make braised pork ribs."
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Braised pork ribs?"
Xiao Lian hummed twice and explained, "Just now, the princess said in her dream that she wanted to eat braised pork ribs."
Su Lixia understood, let out a cry, and asked again, "Did I say anything strange?"
"Who is Mom?" Xiaolian asked directly.
Su Lixia's lips twitched. Just as she thought…
"Mom! This is my new way of addressing my mother. It's easy to learn, isn't it!"
Xiao Lian pouted: "So the princess is... she misses..." As she spoke, she was about to cry.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Su Lixia jumped in surprise and said, "No, no, I just had a craving!"
"Why would the princess want to eat braised pork ribs? She's had them at the Empress's place before. Could it be that the Empress's kitchen has them?"
Su Lixia nodded and said, "Yes, we have. Maybe you weren't here, so you didn't know. But since you're asking, does that mean we've never eaten it? We should have, since it's already being made, right?"
Xiao Lian chuckled, then stopped laughing and said, "No, the chef hasn't heard of this dish either. He's using lamb, beef, and pork bones to figure it out."
Su Lixia's lips twitched, and she nodded perfunctorily, saying, "Who cares what kind of bone it is, as long as it's edible."
"By the way, I've been sleeping for most of the day. Have you guys gone to check out the layout of the Prince's residence?" Su Lixia asked.
Xiao Lian shook her head and said, "No, there is a gate at the back that leads directly out of the manor. Right now, the guards are all our own people. If we need to go somewhere else, people from the Prince's Mansion will come over."
Su Lixia nodded and then said, "Then let's take a stroll around the Prince's Mansion when it's cooler in the afternoon and get familiar with the place."
“Okay. Oh right! Young Master Lin came earlier and said that he was hosting a banquet for the princess, but Xiao Lian refused because the princess was still asleep.”
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia was taken aback and said, "Hey! You should have woken me up, what a great opportunity!"
Xiaolian scratched her head, puzzled, and asked, "What opportunity?"
Su Lixia waved her hand and explained, "It's nothing, it's alright. Anyway, I didn't know about this at the time. It's fine, let's go for a walk this afternoon."
"Yes," Xiaolian replied, still puzzled.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the chef proudly stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the three different servings of so-called braised pork ribs in front of him, and gave a wicked smile before having someone deliver them to Su Lixia.
"Princess, the braised pork ribs are ready," a palace maid announced as she entered.
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia swallowed hard: "Bring it up quickly!"
Then they brought them in one pot after another.
Su Lixia stared at the braised pork ribs in front of her, her jaw nearly dropping in astonishment.
"Is this it, Princess? It smells so good!" Xiaolian said, rubbing her hands together.
Su Lixia raised an eyebrow and said, "It's not a matter of resemblance, but rather that they are completely unrelated!"
Xiaolian frowned: "Isn't that wrong?"
