"It's not that I don't want to help you, but the Central Plains has its own rules. Although it does show that you value it, it's really inappropriate to use it at a garden party."
Xue Yurou didn't feel embarrassed at all, as it was all expected: "I didn't mean to offend the etiquette of the Central Plains. I was ignorant, please forgive me, Princess."
Your politeness only makes me seem more unreasonable, Su Lixia thought, her lips twitching.
"It's nothing, but the popular makeup styles in the two places are different. Why don't you try out our makeup style at the garden party?"
"If it's possible, then that's fine too."
Su Lixia hummed in agreement, knowing she would agree, and then continued eating her fruit.
After chatting politely for a while, Xue Yurou left.
"What did that young lady and princess say that took so long?" Xiaolian waited until Xue Yurou left before entering the room.
Su Lixia smiled wickedly and said, "Someone has taken a liking to your flower-painting skills and wants to take you away from me."
"Huh?" Xiaolian was stunned, completely believing Su Lixia's words, and asked in return, "So what did the princess say to her?"
Su Lixia couldn't help but laugh, stood up, patted her shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, who does she think she is to want my person?"
Xiaolian pouted, looking aggrieved.
"Alright, alright, is everything ready in the kitchen?"
Xiao Lian nodded and said, "Everything is ready, but we haven't started yet. We're just waiting for the princess to arrive."
Su Lixia nodded and said, "Okay, let's go then."
Upon arriving in the kitchen, the cook was sitting by the stove with a worried expression. When he saw Su Lixia arrive, his worried expression relaxed.
"The princess told us to prepare the dishes but won't let us cook them. What does that mean?" the cook asked as he stepped forward.
Su Lixia raised an eyebrow, walked past him to look at the dishes prepared on the table, and explained, "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like coming to the kitchen tonight. Okay, this is well prepared, you can all go now."
Upon hearing this, the cook was taken aback, stammered, and said, "What...what does this mean?"
"It's really nothing, you don't need to worry, just go back and rest."
The cook's mouth twitched. He didn't know what she meant by asking him to prepare the ingredients but not to cook them. As a cook with a slightly fiery temper, he could only endure it when facing the princess.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he said, "Fine then." With that, he left in a huff.
"Princess, they don't seem very happy!"
Su Lixia shrugged and said, "Of course."
"Does the princess know the reason?"
"If I ask you to prepare something, and then suddenly you don't need it anymore, wouldn't you be angry?"
Xiaolian shook her head: "I won't be angry."
After saying that, Su Lixia picked up the kitchen knife.
"Oh? Princess, be careful!" Xiao Lian couldn't help but shudder at the sight of the sharp knife.
"Don't worry." With that, Su Lixia took the chicken to the cutting board, took only the chicken leg meat and the chicken breast meat, and deboned and removed the skin from the chicken leg.
Put the meat in a pot and boil it to remove the blood, then change the water and boil it until cooked through, then rinse it with cold water.
"Xiao Lian, help me tear this meat into strips."
The latter was still staring in shock at what Su Lixia was doing.
How could she not know that her princess could cook? And she didn't seem like a novice at all!
"Hey!" he called out again when she ignored him.
The latter regained his composure and slowly walked forward.
Su Lixia picked up the chicken and demonstrated for her: "It should look something like this."
"good."
Then Su Lixia made a sauce with the limited ingredients she had, brought over the meat that Xiaolian had shredded, poured the sauce over it, and mixed it with chopsticks. A simple homemade shredded chicken was ready.
