The princess relies on the cat to get the upper hand + special episode

Lu Rong clearly had a child of her own, but she also treated Lu Wanzhen as her own, so that every time the child left the palace, he didn't go to Yaohou's mansion a few times, and would run to Lu Guogong's mansion every time.

Zhou Xiantong's eyes revealed a bit of genuine envy.

The maidservants were worried that mentioning other people's children in front of her would only make Madam sad, so they deliberately diverted the topic and returned to the original place:

"Madam, are you feeling better recently?"

"Last time the doctor said that Madam might feel bored staying in the mansion like this every day. It will be General Heng's holiday in a few days. I heard people say that the Nanshan Mountain outside the city has a beautiful scenery. Today is very hot. How about letting the general take his wife out for a walk?"

There was a slight smile on Zhou Xiantong's lips, she shook her head and said slowly:

"Don't be so troublesome, my yard is full of flowers and fruits, and I'm just picking them up here."

Hearing Zhou Xiantong's answer, the maid secretly sighed in her heart, but said obediently on the face: "But according to Madam's orders."

While the two were talking, a maidservant from outside came to report:

"The prince's courtyard invited Mr. Xiao Lang from Zou Gong's restaurant to be a guest today, and specially made some snacks. Chen Lang sent someone to invite his wife to have a taste."

Zhou Xiantong frowned upon hearing this: "Oh? Since when did Chen'er and His Highness become so close? No wonder the courtyard over there is always laughing and laughing. Presumably the children were taken away by him."

"Since the younger generation has a heart, let's present it."

Zhou Xiantong felt a little strange.

After all, in the past, Lu Chen and Lu Wanzhen didn't get along very well. Everyone in the house joked that it was because they got married when they were young, and they couldn't get along when they grew up.

Unexpectedly, the two of them became so close in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Xiantong couldn't help sighing that time flies.

The maid brought up the jelly and the milk tea. One bowl of light brown milk exudes a strong fragrance, sweet and tea-like. The other bowl is crystal clear and translucent like jade. Small pieces are stacked in a bowl, with some red bean paste on top, and dried grapes.

Zhou Xiantong looked at this new gadget, and immediately guessed who made it, and asked the maid beside him with a smile:

"Is this from Shiro in the restaurant?"

"I heard that he left Wang'an and traveled to Dali, but now he finally returned?"

It seems that the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince and Huang Xing can get together is this young man.

"Yes, the young gentleman came to the mansion two days ago and has been living in the prince's courtyard. I heard from others that Chen Lang liked this gentleman's craftsmanship very much, so he took his brothers and sisters to His Highness every day. Run in the courtyard." The maid beside her slowly answered.

Zhou Xiantong smiled: "I guessed so."

She picked up the spoon next to the bowl, and first stirred the milk tea. When she picked up a small spoon, she found a small dark ball lying quietly in the spoon. Zhou Xiantong was quite pleasantly surprised. She didn't know what it was. After putting it into the mouth, after one bite, you will be conquered by the smooth texture.

Zhou Xiantong felt a little strange.

She went to pick up the bowl of crystal jelly next to her again, and the sweet taste came into her mouth. She bit down on the crystal, and the sweet grape stems jumped between her teeth. In contrast, surrounded by the lingering red bean paste, only layers of sweetness remain in the mouth.

The soft sweetness of the red bean paste, the condensed sweetness of the grape jān, and finally the light sweetness of the crystal jelly, all of which are not greasy and complement each other.

Zhou Xiantong asked the maid: "What are the names of these two snacks?"

"Over there, it is said that it is milk tea and jelly. Chen Lang specially instructed that this jelly may be a bit cold, Madam should use less, and leave it for General Heng to taste."

Zhou Xiantong shook his head with a smile: "He is the only one who is so courageous, he dares to make fun of me now."

Saying this, Zhou Xiantong didn't want to make Mr. Lang worry, so he moved the spoon a few more times, and stopped eating.

Until lunch that day—

The maidservants presented another dish made by Le Ning, a steamed chicken full of the aroma of medicinal food.

The steamed golden yellow oil stars slowly fell along the tender chicken skin, forming a small golden pool at the bottom of the plate. Half of the chicken was lying on the snow-white plate, and the heat visible to the naked eye had not dissipated. There is still a lingering scent drifting along the hot air and getting into the noses of everyone in the room.

It smells pretty good.

Zhou Xiantong stared at it for a while, then called the maid who delivered the dishes, and asked, "What is Chen'er trying to sell today? Isn't this dish made by the small kitchen?"

She has always known the people in her yard, because Zhou Xiantong was always sick, so she often had to take some medicine, so that she felt uncomfortable after smelling the medicine.

Nowadays, there are very few doctors who know how to eat, except for the imperial dining room in the palace, there are few who dare to eat medicinal food, let alone her small kitchen in a small courtyard.

Therefore, Zhou Xiantong boldly guessed that it might be that in the courtyard next door, Huang Xing and the young man from the restaurant were going to come.

Sure enough, the maid replied honestly:

"This dish was delivered by a special person from the courtyard next door. His Highness the Crown Prince said that Madam will definitely like this dish of 'medicine steamed chicken'."

Your Royal Highness?

It was Huang Xing in the morning, and now His Royal Highness the Prince sent it?

Zhou Xiantong was a little puzzled, and asked carefully: "Is this meal divided among the rooms?"
