food queen

Chapter 12

Wei Xiyue hurriedly got up, and everyone's brothers and sisters greeted each other, and the room suddenly became lively.

Seeing so many people in front of him, Feng's mood became brighter, and he told the nurse next to him: "Go and tell the kitchen, you must use your heart when cooking!"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said to Mrs. Lu: "You say it's a coincidence, two Hunan cooks just came to the kitchen today. They do two special dishes."

Lu said with a smile: "After all, my niece is lucky!"

Wei Xiyue's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "The day before yesterday, the little princess told me that there is a Hunan dish called twice-cooked lotus root, which is delicious."

"Yes! We also have this dish today, miss, try it later." Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said.

Mrs. Feng straightened her face immediately: "Most of the Hunan dishes are spicy, little girl, can you eat that spicy food?"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly explained: "Madam, don't worry, my daughter-in-law has told the kitchen to put less chili peppers."

"Does it still taste the same if you don't put the chili pepper in? It's even worse if it's nondescript." Mrs. Feng's complexion was even worse.

Mrs. Zhang turned her face slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly said: "In this case, let the kitchen prepare Beijing-style dishes that my wife likes."

"Your cousin is the honored guest today! Is this how you treat guests?" Mrs. Feng fired at the second daughter-in-law again.

Wei Xiyue saw that the two aunts were ashamed, and she couldn't continue to sit and watch the fun, so she smiled and got up and asked the mother next to her: "Ma'am, I've worn too many clothes, and I'm sweating all over. I want to change clothes."

The nanny hurriedly bowed and said, "Miss, please come with the servant."

Wei Xiyue bowed to Mrs. Feng and the two aunts again, and Fang followed the nanny back inside to change clothes.A series of screens and curtains separated the unpleasant atmosphere over there, and Wei Xiyue sat on a narrow couch with a long sigh.

"Miss, don't be distracted. Our wife is not very happy these days. But don't do the girl's business, there are two grandmas." The mother said, then turned and told Wei Xiyue's personal maid, "Give it to you quickly." Let's change your clothes, girl, it's time for dinner in a while."

"Mom, let's go, I'll go after I change my clothes." Wei Xiyue smiled faintly, and sent the nanny out.

The close maid, Yueqin, unpacked her bag and took out a lotus-colored dress to change Wei Xiyue's clothes.

Wei Xiyue shook her head and sighed: "Don't be busy, let me rest for a while."

Yueqin laughed softly and said, "Girl doesn't want to stay longer, so let's find a reason to go home tomorrow."

"No one plays with me when I go home! The eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother ignore me, and the little aunt is not in a good mood these days. I'm almost bored to death by myself." Wei Xiyue's small face wrinkled It became a bun.

But no matter how troublesome he is, he has to go out to deal with it, and he can't hide here without even eating dinner.

As soon as Wei Xiyue changed her clothes, there were people coming back and forth outside: "Girl, the eldest princess asked someone to bring four dishes - the eldest princess said that she should have invited the girl to go there, but she thought that the young lady just saw it." Grandmother was definitely reluctant to go there, so she brought the girl's favorite dishes here."

"Excuse me, princess, I really want to thank her old man." Wei Xiyue said, and hurried forward to say thank you to the visitor in person, but when she arrived, she didn't see anyone. Moreover, she Grandma's complexion was even uglier, almost blacker than the bottom of the pot.

what happened?Wei Xiyue turned to her eldest aunt for help.Mrs. Zhang smiled lightly, and said: "It's okay, the eldest princess is just being polite, nothing else. Madam calm down."

"I know you all have the same heart as her!" Mrs. Feng still hated herself.

Mrs. Lu persuaded helplessly: "Old lady, look at the girl, she is still young, so why don't you say a few words?"

Mrs. Feng glanced at Wei Xiyue, but she didn't say anything more.

What a boring dinner.

Wei Xiyue really regrets coming to Zhen Guogong's mansion. She came back with her mother before, has she never encountered such a thing?What's the matter today, I didn't read the almanac when I went to relatives.

The dinner at the Princess's Mansion is earlier than the dinner at the Duke of Zhen's Mansion. When the maid who came to the Duke of Zhen's Mansion to deliver dishes to Wei Xiyue returned, the Princess was already served by her two daughters-in-law with her beloved daughter. After dinner, I was gossiping to digest food.

The servant woman came in to answer, and Han Qianyin asked, "What did Xiyue say?"

"Go back to the princess, the slave didn't see the cousin girl."

"Then who did you see?" The eldest princess frowned slightly. According to the rules, the dishes were delivered in her own name. Wei Xiyue should at least give a blessing and say "Xie the eldest princess", how could there be no one there? see?
"I saw the eldest wife, two grandmas, and several young masters."

"I've seen them all, but I haven't seen Xiyue?" Han Qian asked very strangely, "Why?"

"Grandma said, Miss Xiyue went to change clothes."

"Oh." Han Qian nodded, solved the doubts in his heart, and reached out to grab the peaches in the fruit plate.

The eldest princess stretched out her hand to take the peach away, and said with a low laugh, "Eat it, do you want to sleep later?"

"Hmm..." Han Qian pouted her lips and didn't dare to refute - she had eaten too much tonight.

"Needless to say, the eldest lady must have a bad face." Zhou said with a sneer from the side.

The eldest princess seemed to be clear about this matter, but she didn't bother to talk about it.

After Zhou's words were clear, Han Qian chased after him boredly: "Why is the auntie so upset? We are giving her something, not asking for it."

"Children's family, don't ask too much about adults." The eldest princess gave the eldest daughter-in-law a dissatisfied look, naturally blaming her for talking too much.But it was hard to say it in front of her daughter, so she told the nanny: "The princess is sleepy, please serve her and go to bed first."

"Mother, remember to tell the kitchen that I will invite Xiyue in the garden tomorrow, and prepare a table of food for me."

The eldest princess rubbed her daughter's loose little bun, and said with a smile, "When has the kitchen ever neglected your affairs? Go and sleep with yours!"

Han Qian nodded, and obediently followed the nanny back to her room to sleep. Then the eldest princess looked at Mrs. Zhou, and said flatly, "You are getting better at handling things."

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stood up, bowed her head and said, "My daughter-in-law made a slip of the tongue."

The eldest princess looked at Mrs. Zhou for a long while, but in the end she didn't say anything serious, she just sighed softly: "You can't show your family ugliness. If you have something in your heart, just complain a few words in front of me. Qian'er is still young, and your words make me feel ashamed." After she heard it, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't talk about it outside. When the time comes, will people laugh at her childish speech, or at my godmother's incompetence?"

"It's my daughter-in-law's fault." Zhou replied with her head bowed.

"That's all! Don't talk about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion from now on." The eldest princess waved her hand and said, "I'm tired too, you all go away."
