Su Lixia took a deep breath and exhaled, saying, "This isn't braised pork ribs, it's more like stewed pork ribs. The bones are definitely there, they're all big bones, it's really good."
After saying that, she picked up her chopsticks, picked up her rice bowl, and muttered under her breath, "It seems the original author didn't like braised pork ribs, otherwise why wouldn't there be a dish called braised pork ribs?"
Then he picked up a beef bone, sucked on the marrow, and nodded, saying, "Although it's not braised pork bone, it's really delicious."
There wasn't much meat on the three bones, just a lot of sauce. Su Lixia mixed the soup into her rice and ate a soup-soaked rice dish.
After letting out a long-awaited burp, Su Lixia rubbed her stomach and said, "It's a decent home-cooked meal. Not bad, not bad. Go to the chef at the highway station. He does a good job. Tell him to change the name of this dish to braised pork and to use small pieces of meat with bones instead of such big bones."
Xiao Lian nodded and said, "As expected of the chef summoned by His Majesty, the princess actually finished all the food he prepared for her."
"Don't keep praising him. If I don't eat much one day, he'll definitely be sad."
"Haha." Xiaolian covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "What the princess says is true. I'm glad the princess likes it."
After saying that, Xiaolian led the servants to return the items.
Seeing that there was almost nothing left in the pot, the cook asked happily, "Did I do it right? Did the princess like it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaolian shook her right index finger and said, "No." Then she repeated what Su Lixia had said.
The cook clapped his hands a few times and said, "Then we're not far from success. Luckily, we've finished eating all of this." The cook was still smug.
Xiao Lian shrugged and said, "The princess is still waiting, I'll go first."
"uh-huh."
After returning home, Xiaolian told Su Lixia about it. Su Lixia was not surprised and said, "This is very normal. Many chefs do this."
"Could you go into the backyard to check on the princess's condition?" Xue Yurou asked.
The maid shook her head and said, "No, when I passed by there, I felt like I was going to the palace. If I got too close, the guards at the gate would question me."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yurou put down her embroidery and said, "A princess is a princess. She is noble wherever she goes. I didn't get a good look at her last time. I want to see what she is like and whether she is easy to get along with."
The maid curled her lips and said with a hint of disdain, "Two years ago, when the prince went to the Central Plains, he was spotted by the princess. It is said that she was dressed in a bright red dress and heavily made up, and she kept pestering our prince. Fortunately, the prince is chaste and has no interest in her at all."
"Is that so?"
The maid nodded and said, "Miss has only been here for a little over a year, so naturally there are many things she doesn't know. Judging from this, this princess is not likable at all."
Xue Yurou chuckled and said, "At first glance, I only thought she was fresh and refined, very beautiful. If she was already like this without looking closely, how could she not be stunningly beautiful upon closer inspection?"
The maid shrugged and said, "I don't know. Maybe her personality will change in the next couple of years."
Xue Yurou reached out and touched the plum blossom she was halfway through embroidering, and said, "The flower on her forehead is so beautiful, just like this red plum blossom."
“That’s a floral appliqué, which is said to be painted on the wedding day of nobles in the Central Plains. If you like it, Miss, I can try to paint it for you.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Yurou looked up, smiled slightly, and said, "That won't be necessary. If I were to paint these floral designs, I'm afraid I would have to get the consent of certain people."
"Achoo!" Su Lixia sneezed, rubbed her nose, and muttered, "Who's talking bad about me!"
