King Leng pursues his wife, but abandons his concubine

Chapter 338 What is Corn (3)
Not long after, An An ordered Lan Yu to carefully put the freshly baked eight-treasure corn and lotus seed porridge in the pot into several delicate dishes, and the tumbling white water vapor engulfed everyone's eyes from time to time. Eye……

But these did not hinder the strong food fragrance that everyone smelled between the nostrils. The faint sweet fragrance seemed to have the unique smell of the dewdrops dripping from the emerald green lotus leaves in the morning!
The gluttons in their stomachs were immediately seduced by this smell, but the more they wanted to see clearly, the more white water vapor lingering over the pot, no matter how they opened their eyes wide, they wanted to see See clearly, but just can't see clearly...

Their hearts were burning with anxiety, but they couldn't think of anything to do. This made them like ants standing on a hot pot, and their whole bodies were not well.

It's not that they didn't notice the surprised or curious or amazed eyes of those onlookers, but An An refused to let them take a closer look, after all, there must be a little suspense, right? !
"Lan Yu, next, you can give all the remaining eight-treasure corn and lotus seed porridge to the big guys! It will save you from wasting."

"Then princess?"

"My princess is going to send these bowls of eight-treasure corn and lotus seed porridge to the hall. I didn't eat in the morning. You must be hungry, Lan Yu, right? Why don't you just stay here and eat with everyone! By the way, If the side dishes are not enough, Chef, remember to make more later, the way Princess Ben told you just now, and with your many years of cooking skills, it must not be difficult..."

An'an carefully placed the bowls of eight-treasure corn and lotus seed porridge in the food box, then picked up the exquisite food box, and turned to answer Lan Yu.

"Princess, is this really okay?!"

Lan Yu thought about it, and naturally knew that her princess was thinking about herself, and she was afraid that she would be hungry, but this seems to be a bit against the rules, right? !
"My concubine said yes, so of course it is possible, so it was decided, Lan Yu, you stay here first and have dinner with everyone. After the meal, come to the hall to find me."

After all, An An turned around and walked in that direction of the hall with the food box in her hand.

At that time, in the hall in front of the kitchen.

"Chen'er, why hasn't Princess Leng come back yet? Could it be that she dislikes having breakfast with my old lady?"

When she said these words, the old lady of Beitang naturally had a very ugly face, and some displeasure and dissatisfaction could be clearly heard in her tone...

Murong Ziyan, who was eating breakfast quietly at the side, still lowered her head silently, putting small mouthfuls of the food on the wooden table in front of her into her mouth and chewing, but there was a look of gloating in the depths of her eyes .

If you want her to say, it's good for Princess Leng to be like this!
The more dissatisfied the old lady of Beitang was with her, the less resistance she encountered when approaching Leng Yuechen. Then, she could get the Xinglong Token faster!
"aunt……"

Leng Yuechen opened her mouth as if she wanted to defend An An...

"Aunt, you must not have finished eating, right?!"

A crisp voice with a deep smile came in, and the three people in the hall looked at the entrance of the hall...

"If you don't stay here and eat well, where did you go just now?!"

Although the corner of her eyes had caught sight of the exquisite food box in An An's hand, and her nose could vaguely smell the fragrance of food floating in the air, the old lady of Beitang still subconsciously said bluntly, His complexion was also tight, looking difficult to deal with.

Hehe, this old lady is actually just a paper tiger, she really can't see it...

An An walked over, and brought out the bowls of fragrant eight-treasure corn and lotus seed porridge in the food box, and pushed all the food prepared by Murong Ziyan, which was basically untouched, onto the wooden table. On the other side, he replaced the eight-treasure corn and lotus seed porridge he had just made, and said with a smile: "Aunt, lord, this princess just went to the kitchen to cook some snacks. Although it is difficult to wait for the elegant hall, it is for breakfast Come eat, it’s still very good. Why don’t you try it?”

While speaking, An An sat down unceremoniously, brought the last bowl of eight-treasure corn and lotus seed porridge in front of her, picked up her chopsticks and was ready to eat.

"Oh! Look at my princess's memory! I actually forgot to prepare a portion for Miss Murong, but it shouldn't matter, right? Miss Murong, you didn't eat much of what you prepared in the morning. Instead of wasting it, Ms. Murong, why don't you continue to eat, and save the ignorant servants in the palace from saying that Miss Murong is extravagant, and Miss Murong thinks what this princess says makes sense?"

Glancing out of the corner of An An's eyes, she caught sight of Murong Ziyan, whose face was faintly darkened. She laughed three times from the bottom of her heart, and said provocatively.

Murong Ziyan gritted her teeth, raised her head and was about to reply, when she saw Leng Yuechen and Mrs. Beitang looking at the contents of the dishes in front of her in amazement, with strange expressions on their faces... …

Both the old lady of Beitang and Lord Leng have no objections, so even if she is dissatisfied, she knows how to smash her teeth and swallow blood into her stomach!
"An'er, your porridge..."

"My lord, don't you know?! This is called 'Eight Treasures Corn and Lotus Seed Porridge'. There are 'Eight Treasures' in it, which are mung beans, red beans, white lentils, red dates, longan, pine nuts, yam, and corn. This kind of combination is the most nutritious breakfast, and it will definitely make you have endless energy for the whole morning after eating, and it is definitely more delicious than some 'hometown specialties' of unknown origin!"

When talking about "hometown specialties", An An deliberately raised her voice slightly, as if she was deliberately speaking to someone present.

And this person is naturally Murong Ziyan.

Murong Ziyan tightly squeezed the chopsticks with the hand holding the chopsticks, trying not to erupt on the spot...

"Chen'er, do you think this looks like... pearl rice?!"

The old lady of Beitang picked up a crystal clear and plump corn kernel with her chopsticks, looked at Leng Yuechen with doubts in her eyes, and asked for proof.

"Aunt, you are right, it is indeed pearl rice."

Before Leng Yuechen could speak, An An answered first, her attitude was indeed righteous, and she didn't seem to notice anything wrong.

"What?! You, you actually gave us pearl rice?! What do you mean?! What is your intention?!"

The old lady of Beitang was so shocked that she dropped the chopsticks in her hand to the ground, and looked at An An in amazement, as if she had seen a ghost!
"I don't have any intentions. Besides, what happened to pearl rice?! When there is no food, pearl rice is the only food that can continue to survive. Why does it have to be fed to pigs?! Aunt, you have to know that the ultimate purpose of food, They are all for wrapping the stomach. In this regard, what is the difference between pearl rice and the rice, vegetables, or even chicken, duck, fish, and meat we eat in our daily life?! As a child of your family, this princess thinks, We need to rectify the name of pearl rice! Let the people of our Yue Kingdom change this incorrect perception, and let our Yue Kingdom have another type of grain——pearl rice!"

What An An said was full of justice and awe-inspiring, with a kind of indescribable arrogance, which made other people in the hall feel the shock to varying degrees, especially Leng Yuechen.

For Leng Yuechen, how many times he has fought on the battlefield, and with his many years of combat career, he is of course deeply aware of one thing, that is the importance of food supplies!
Especially when the two armies are in a stalemate and the outcome is hard to tell, and the soldiers on both sides have little physical strength left, then the supply of rations is likely to be the last straw that overwhelms the camel!
"Auntie, I think what An'er said is right! Yueguo's harvest costs in recent years have not been very optimistic. Since pearl rice can be eaten with confidence, why don't we try it to see how it tastes? If it feels difficult to eat, this matter Just pretend that An Er is ignorant and too reckless. But if the pearl rice actually tastes good, we should support An Er's idea. I will draft a memorial and submit it to Brother Huang, asking him to deal with it this matter."

What surprised An An was that Leng Yuechen so easily chose to be on the same front as her and help her speak, and couldn't help but look at Leng Yuechen a few more times...

"Chen'er, you..."

The old lady of Beitang also opened her eyes wide, looking at Leng Yuechen in disbelief. In her opinion, Leng Yuechen has never protected a girl like this before? !

That's fine, after all, it's Princess Leng who was selected by Concubine Leng Yuechen's mother, so she should work hard to get used to it!
After thinking in this way, the old lady of Beitang finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to hold on to this matter. Like Leng Yuechen, she picked up a pair of clean chopsticks again, resisting the lingering disgust in her heart, and put A chopstick of eight-treasure corn and lotus seed porridge was put into the mouth...

The next moment, the air was suddenly quiet for a second!

Murong Ziyan, who was eating with her head down, also seemed to sense a trace of abnormality quietly flowing in the air, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the expressions of Mrs. Beitang and Leng Yuechen...

An An squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

It seems that her cooking skills haven't deteriorated at all!This eight-treasure corn and lotus seed porridge is still very good!

Even in the 21st century, taking it to those five-star hotels may not be inferior to their food!

An An sighed silently in her heart, the self-indulgent expression was not much different from the intoxicated expression of Beitang old lady.

Leng Yuechen's deep eyes moved to An An's delicate little face, and when she looked at her steadily, she almost forgot that Murong Ziyan still exists at this moment!
