The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 264 Extra Large Lion Head

It is human nature to love beauty, and it is every girl's nature to like beautiful clothes.

Wearing this brand new aqua green dress, Yang Qi felt that her spirits were much better than before. As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when they are happy, and now it seems that people feel refreshed when they wear new clothes.

Yang Qi's feeling was not completely false. Xiaoqing and Bibo, who were serving her and helping her button up her clothes, also felt that the dress embroidered with cloud patterns made her skin look especially white, like the best milk, soft and tender, as if it would overflow if poked.

"Bi Bo, do you know whether the Duke and Lady England have had lunch now?" If they haven't had lunch yet, she would go to the main house early to thank the Duke and Lady England in person.

The clothes in these two large suitcases are all of her own style, and the books inside happen to be her favorites. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the British Duchess must have put a lot of thought into these suitcases, which are so well-tailored.

Bi Bo smiled and said, "Madam has already sent someone to tell her to go to the main house to eat with her."

The Duchess of England's original plan was that if Yang Qi left in the morning, everyone would have breakfast together as a farewell.

Feeling sorry for the hardships Yang Qi had to endure along the way, the Duchess of England also instructed this morning that if there was no emergency, the young lady should sleep comfortably today and not have to rush to have breakfast.

Well, it was precisely because of what the Duke of England's wife said that, even when the sun was already high in the sky, none of the maids and servants, including Xiaoqing, went to wake up the young lady.

"Madam is waiting for me for dinner? Why don't you hurry over." Hearing Bibo's words, Yang Qi's face tightened and he quickly walked out of the house.

When Yang Qi rushed to the main house, the Duke of England, his wife, and General Huo Yun were chatting and laughing in the house.

Seeing Yang Qi coming in, Lady Yingguo's eyes lit up. Without waiting for Yang Qi to greet her, she hurried forward and pulled Yang Qi to sit down: "When I saw you yesterday, I remembered this material, which must be very suitable for you. When I saw it today, it really suits your skin tone very well."

Yang Qi stood up with a smile, and slowly turned around in front of the Duchess of England. Then, after bowing to her, she said, "Madam, I really like the things you prepared for me. But I have nothing now, and I don't know how to express my gratitude and respect to you."

"Silly child, why are you saying these things?" The Duchess of England touched Yang Qi's head lovingly. If the child were still alive, she would probably be like Yang Qi and would be suitable for wearing green dresses.

Yang Qi did not ignore the sadness in the eyes of the Duke of England's wife, and couldn't help feeling a little strange. What was the lady thinking about, and why was she in such deep pain?

The Duke of England looked at his wife's expression and cleared his throat quickly: "Is the meal ready? I went to the military camp early this morning and I'm hungry now."

Yang Qi knew that the Duke of England was trying to change the subject, but when she thought about why everyone was just having dinner now, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and lowered her head to try to hide her slightly red cheeks.

Seeing Yang Qi feeling uncomfortable, the Duke of England's wife glared at the Duke of England unhappily. She knew very well that Yang Qi was just a teenage girl with a thin skin, so how could she speak like that in front of others?

However, the Duchess of England remained calm and said, "Go to the kitchenette and check. If the food is ready, let's eat."

Then, the Lady of the Duke of England introduced to Yang Qi who was standing beside her: "Yesterday I saw that you liked to eat lion's head, so today I asked the kitchen to prepare it.

The cuisine of Xihu is completely different from that of the capital, but your time in Xihu is too short this time, so you can't go out to try it.

For lunch today, I specially asked the kitchen to pick out some Xihu specialties, you must try them later."

Knowing that the lady was trying to save face for herself, Yang Qi felt unusually warmed by the handling of these details. She smiled and said, "Then you are in for a treat today. This authentic Xihu specialty dish is not available everywhere."

Huo Yun, who always treated himself as invisible, suddenly said, "Then you must taste it carefully later, especially your favorite lion's head."

For some reason, as soon as General Huo Yun opened his mouth and spoke in a serious manner, Yang Qi seemed to smell a conspiracy.

However, this lion's head is not considered a specialty of the Xihu. Why did General Huo Yun emphasize it so specifically?

Yang Qi was a little confused, but still kept a smile on his face: "Thank you, General."

After all the dishes were served, Yang Qi was immediately shocked by the large plate of extra-large lion heads in the center of the table. The size of the lion heads was two or three times larger than those Yang Qi usually saw.

Thinking of General Huo Yun's previous instructions, Yang Qi deliberately picked up a big lion head first, but Yang Qi overestimated his ability and underestimated the size of the lion head.

At first, Yang Qi couldn't pick up the extra-large lion head. It was the British Duchess who was quick-witted and used a large spoon to lift it, and then successfully put the lion head into Yang Qi's bowl.

Looking at this tempting lion head, Yang Qi's eyes sparkled, and he smiled and said to the Duke of England's wife: "Madam, I will start first."

Yang Qi's smiling eyes and joyful mood were like a breeze, quietly taking away all the discomfort in the eyes of the Duke of England: "Try it quickly, how about this lion's head?"

After taking a bite, Yang Qi suddenly realized that everyone at the table was secretly staring at him. Seeing the sneaky expressions of Duke Ying and General Huo Yun, Yang Qi was really surprised that these two heroes who had not changed their expressions before the collapse of the mountain would be so anxious now.

However, the taste of today's lion's head is different from yesterday's. It is chewier and the taste of pepper is much weaker.

Thinking for a moment, Yang Qi suddenly realized something and said with a smile: "The craftsmanship of the chef who made the lion head has improved a lot compared to yesterday. Today's lion head is so delicious!"

After hearing what Yang Qi said, the smile in Lady England's eyes almost overflowed: "How can it be so exaggerated."

Huo Yun also took a lion head, but unlike Yang Qi, he didn't need to use a big spoon: "Let me try it too." Huo Yun's movements were very fast, and he stuffed the extra-large lion head into his stomach in just a few bites: "Mom, Xiao Qi is not exaggerating, your skills in making lion heads have really improved!"

Xiaoqi? When did this title come into being?

Fortunately, Yang Qi immediately reacted to the point of this sentence, and said in shock: "This lion head was actually made by Madam. My God, is there anything in this world that Madam is not good at?"

The two of them talked and amused the British lady, saying, "You guys are so sweet-mouthed and always say nice things."
