"Wait a minute, I heard you're a great cook, and your ancestors were imperial chefs. But I've never heard of an imperial chef with the surname Tian in the palace."
"Your Highness, it's normal that you don't know. Our ancestors weren't outstanding in the palace, which is why they were eliminated."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"yes!"
"In that case, why don't you cook us a few dishes to try?"
"Of course, but it will cost extra," Tian Yu said with a smile, then looked at the angry young master Huang.
"How many?"
"One hundred taels for each dish!" Tian Yu said.
"This is an exorbitant price! How dare you ask for such a price?" Young Master Huang said angrily.
"One hundred and fifty taels."
"You! Your Highness, I think it would be better to arrest this shrew," Young Master Huang suggested to the prince.
"Two hundred taels!"

"I haven't decided yet, so I'm asking for your opinion, Lord Marquis. What do you think, Lord Marquis?"
"No, this woman is already married and has children. She is not worthy of Your Highness. Your Highness should choose someone else."
"But why do I feel that this woman and I are destined to be together?"
"Your Highness, please reconsider!"
"Huang Xuan, what do you think of this woman?"
"I think this shrew is very unreasonable. Your Highness should stay away from her."
"Since you all think it's not good, then I'll think about it some more and see what dishes she can cook before deciding whether to keep her or kill her!"
The three people in the private room sipped their tea and chatted casually, as if they were all waiting for the other to speak first and reveal their secrets.
