Without that scoundrel Gu Qingtang by her side, Yin Ning felt that last night was the most comfortable night she slept since she married into the Prince Consort's house, so when she opened her eyes, it was already noon.

"Princess, are you awake?" Xiao Xi's smiling face appeared in sight, "I will wait for you to get up."

"Yes." Yin Ning sat up and stretched out very comfortably. Suddenly he realized something and asked quickly, "Where is Gu Qingtang now?"

Xiao Xi smiled and said: "The prince-in-law came to see the princess early in the morning. The princess even kicked off the quilt. The prince-in-law covered you personally..."

“Let’s get to the point!” Yin Ning’s face darkened, “What I’m asking is, where is he now?”

Xiao Xi didn't know which sentence she said was wrong. She thought about it again and again before opening her mouth and replying: "The prince-in-law has gone out."

"It's better if I'm not here..." Yin Ning let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Xiao Xi, I'm going to have a good meal today! Hurry up and prepare lunch!"

"Yes."

"No, when will Gu Qingtang come back?" Yin Ning couldn't help but ask again.

Xiao Xi couldn't help but chuckle, "The prince-in-law said he would come back later, so the princess doesn't have to worry."

"I'm not worried about him!" Yin Ning responded coldly, but when she saw Xiao Xi's suppressed smile, she realized that she had asked every question since she got up. Something to do with that shameless guy.

This...what's going on?

Xiao Xi smiled and helped Yin Ning sit in front of the bronze mirror, holding a comb to comb the princess's black hair, "The prince consort gave instructions to the slaves when he left. He said that the princess must have a good appetite when she wakes up, so today's There are eight dishes in total for lunch! ”

"..." Yin Ning remained silent and looked at Xiao Xi in the mirror.

Xiao Xi narrowed her eyes and smiled, "This is the first time I have seen such a careful Prince Consort. Princess, I think you are much happier than the eldest princess."

"Sister Huang..." A trace of sadness appeared in Yin Ning's eyes. Three years ago, Taiwei Nian asked for a princess for his son, so the eldest princess Yin Ying, who had just turned sixteen, was given by the late emperor. That year, the son of the Taiwei, Gu Qingtang, who was originally working as a handyman in the Shaofu Supervisor, suddenly changed his identity. He was adopted by Taiwei Nian as his adopted son and became the Shaofu Master, the Shaofu Superintendent.

Xiao Xi saw that Yin Ning's face was a little pale and asked quickly: "But what did the slave say wrong?"

Yin Ning shook her head gently and said sternly: "Pour down all the eight dishes prepared by Gu Qingtang!"

Xiao Xi was startled and muttered: "The prince-in-law said that if the princess orders dishes to be served, let the slaves give these eight dishes to the beggars on the streets of the capital. Don't waste them."

Yin Ning was stunned, "A sycophant who makes money actually knows how to give to beggars?"

Xiao Xi nodded, "Princess, I actually think that the Prince Consort is a good person. Yesterday, I had a chat with the maids in the Prince Consort's residence. They all said that the Prince Consort is gentle to others and has never lost his temper with them. This This is not the first time that I have given food to beggars.”

"He..." Gu Qingtang's face with a slight smile suddenly appeared in Yin Ning's mind. The smile was gentle and the features were pretty. Although sometimes he was a bit shameless and rogue, but seriously, at least This man did not use his status as consort to force her, nor did he do anything unkind to her.

Except...last night...

Actually, last night it seemed... I couldn't blame him...

A sycophant? Good guy?

These are two clearly distinct characters, why do they fall on the same person?

"Princess?" Xiao Xi looked at Yin Ning's lost look and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Yin Ning came back to her senses, "Huh? I...I...maybe I'm hungry..." After thinking about it, Yin Ning could only think of this sentence to stop Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi glanced at Yin Ning hesitantly, "Princess...the eight dishes prepared by the prince-in-law...do you still want to eat them?"

Yin Ning said sternly: "Eat! Of course I have to eat! I want to see what tricks this shameless person is playing! Xiao Xi, go and bring the dishes first. I will eat first. Freshen up."

"Yes."

Xiao Xi bowed to Yin Ning with a smile on her face.

Yin Ning felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, "Xiao Xi, why are you laughing?"

Xiao Xi shook her head repeatedly and said happily: "I am so happy for the princess and her consort. I wish the princess and her consort a happy marriage and a lifetime of love."

"Nonsense, I don't want it..."

"The prince-in-law has given orders not to let the princess get hungry. The servant will bring lunch to the princess first."

"Hey!" Before Yin Ning had time to finish her words, Xiao Xi had already exited the wedding hall happily. Yin Ning blinked and gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Qingtang, you are such a nuisance! Xiao Xi is obviously Why does it feel like my personal maid is now yours?"

After a while, eight maids filed in, placed eight dishes on the table, and waited aside.

Xiao Xi put down the princess’s food plate and bowed respectfully to Yin Ning, “Invite the princess to a meal.”

Yin Ning sat down at the table and was about to pick up the dishes with her chopsticks when Xiao Xi suddenly spoke, "Princess, wait a minute, the consort said today that before the princess eats, she should listen to the eight dishes. name, maybe you’ll have a better appetite.”

"What if I lose my appetite after hearing this?"

"The prince-in-law said, it will definitely not happen."

"Xiao Xi, whose maid are you?"

"The slave is naturally the maid of the princess's family."

"Why do I think you have been speaking for Gu Qingtang today?" Yin Ning put down her chopsticks in displeasure, "I suddenly don't want to eat these eight dishes."

Xiao Xi waved her hands repeatedly and knelt down quickly, "This slave is too talkative. Please calm down the princess and have a meal."

"That's pretty much it." Yin Ning wrinkled her nose, and finally a smile appeared on her face. She picked up a piece of green vegetables with her chopsticks and just brought it to her mouth. Her curiosity arose and she looked at it pretending to be indifferent. He glanced at Xiao Xi and said, "Tell me, what's the name of this vegetable?"

Xiao Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The prince-in-law said that this dish is called 'Bangda Qingtang'."

"Pfft..." Yin Ning couldn't help but laugh, put the green vegetable into his mouth, took a few bites, and then swallowed it, smiling happily, "I like this dish, then this Where's the Tao?" Yin Ning pointed to the oil-soaked pork ribs next to him.

"The name of this dish is 'Oil-rolled Nie Chen Bones'."

"Okay! What about this one?" Yin Ning's smile was like the pear tree outside the palace, particularly bright.

"Back to the princess, this is called the 'culprit head'. The prince-in-law has told the cook to stew the fish head till it's rotten, and don't let the fish sting the princess."

"You are still self-aware!" Yin Ning felt that her appetite was really great, and pointed at the fish head excitedly, "I want to eat that first!"

"Yes." Xiao Xi quickly stood up and helped the little princess pick up a piece of fish face meat and put it respectfully on her plate.

Yin Ning took a bite with great pleasure, glanced at the shredded beef on the side, and said with a smile: "I think this dish must be called 'Death by a Thousand Cuts'!"

Xiao Xi said in surprise: "Yes, yes, the consort said so too!"

Yin Ning smiled proudly and said: "I have wanted to say this to him for a long time!" After that, Yin Ning pointed to the chicken heart slices and said, "This dish must be called 'Wolf Heart and Dog Lung'?"

Xiao Xi shook her head, "This time the princess was wrong..."

"Wrong?" Yin Ning was a little surprised, "Did I guess wrong?"

Xiao Xi nodded and smiled enviously: "The consort said that this dish is called 'Heart and Heart'. You see, the cook followed the consort's instructions and stacked all the heart pieces together."

"Pa..."

The chopsticks in Yin Ning's hand suddenly fell on the plate, and there was a vague feeling in her heart. She glanced at the dim sum, which was the Lotus Heart Cake she recognized, "Then what is the name of this plate of Lotus Heart Cake? ”

Xiao Xi said sternly: "The consort said, this dish is called Lotus Heart Cake."

Yin Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the chicken heart slices and said, "Please withdraw this dish from me."

A maid came up and served the dish.

Yin Ning looked at the remaining soups and cages, pointed at the bird's nest soup and said, "What is the name of this soup?"

Xiao Xi thought for a while and said: "The prince-in-law said, it's called 'like glue and like paint'!"

"Ahem, withdraw it! Who is inseparable from him!" Yin Ning signaled to the maids to withdraw the soup.

In the end, there was only a cage of eight small buns that were shaped like spring peaches. Yin Ning thought about it, and those words describing the love between husband and wife should not appear on this dish anymore, right?

"What is the name of this way?"

Xiao Xi thought hard and finally came up with the name of this dish, "The prince-in-law thought for a long time when he said the name of this dish, and finally said with a smile, this dish is called - Spring Peach Comes to Dream Last Night."

"Spring peaches last night?!" Yin Ning suddenly realized. When his eyes fell on those peach-like little buns, he felt his cheeks burning fiercely, and he felt ashamed and angry, "Shameless! Shameless! Gu Qingtang , you are really full of bad ideas!”

"Princess, what's wrong with you? If you don't like this dish, I'll take it away for you." Xiao Xi gave a wink to the maid behind her, "Hurry up and take this dish away and give it to the street." sent to the beggar."

"Slow down! This dish is not allowed to be given to beggars!" Yin Ning's cheeks were rosy at the moment. She angrily picked up a small bun and ate it in two bites, "I want to eat this steamed bun! ”

Don’t give the beggar anything to eat! No!

"Princess, please eat slowly, eat slowly." Xiao Xi hurriedly brought a cup of warm tea to Yin Ning and muttered in her heart, "The prince-in-law is really right, the princess really has a great appetite today, but one meal at a time "Long Baozi, can the princess's stomach bear it?"

Yin Ning ate four small buns one after another and felt choked. He quickly took the warm tea and drank several sips. He calmed down and wanted to get it.

Xiao Xi hurriedly advised: "Princess, be careful, you may break your body..."

"Even if I die, I can't let these buns be eaten by others!" Yin Ning was so ashamed in her heart, but she couldn't explain why, so she couldn't help scolding Gu Qingtang over and over again.

Niege! Gu Qingtang! I’m done with you forever!
