Princess Xia Bo has also seen a lot of chefs in Da Zhou in the past few days, but the dishes they make are all the same, and there is nothing brilliant about it, plus the roast mutton made by their chef in Da Yue today is really delicious, Princess Xia Bo is a little worried, in case the dishes made by this woman surnamed Ning are not as good, but in the end she is cocooned and bound to herself.

When the dishes made by Ning Xi were delivered the same, Princess Xia Bo was even more stunned, what kind of dishes were on this plate, why couldn't she recognize them, and this taste, although it was quite fragrant, it always felt a little weird?

Xia Bo looked at the prince, hoping that he could introduce him as a landlord, but the other party was also at a loss, looking in the direction of Jun Qianyu expectantly.

Xia Bo took the opportunity to ask Jun Qianyu: "His Royal Highness King Yu, the dishes made by your friend look so special, and Xia Bo can be regarded as having known all the famous dishes in Dazhou, but he can't see what these dishes are?" ”

Jun Qianyu actually didn't know each other, speaking of which, they had known each other for so long, but Ning Xi had never made these dishes for him to eat, thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little dissatisfied in his heart: "If it is an ordinary dish, how can it be kind enough to take it out to entertain the princess of the neighboring country, it is naturally the best to serve it, princess, please feel free to taste it." ”

Princess Xia Bo, who had no answer, hesitated for a moment and stretched her chopsticks towards the plate of fried fish that looked most normal.

At this moment, a servant came: "Princess, Hassan asks to see you." Hassan is one of the chefs she brought with her.

Princess Xia Bo paused: "Let him in!" After speaking, he continued to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish, which was not as soft and tender as ordinary river fish, but felt that the flesh was tight and elastic.

Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly heard a shout: "Princess, don't eat it!" Chef Hassan rushed in and knelt in front of Princess Shabpo with a "plop".

Princess Xia Bo's chopsticks stopped awkwardly at her lips and looked at Hassan with displeasure: "Don't look at who is here, who allows you to be so presumptuous?" ”

The crown prince said unhappily: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know what the chef of your country means?" Could it be that you suspect that there is something wrong with the dishes made by our chef in Da Zhou? ”

Hassan hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The princess forgives the sin, but this matter is related to the health of the princess, and the subordinates have no choice but to collide with the crown prince of the Great Zhou and His Royal Highness King Yu, which is really a crime that deserves death, and I implore the princess to let the subordinates finish talking before punishing." ”

Princess Xia Bo frowned and said, "What exactly are you going to say?" Hurry up! I warn you, what you say best not to disappoint me! ”

Under the cold gaze of the prince and Jun Qianyu, Hassan broke out in a cold sweat and reluctantly boldly said: "Everyone in the kitchen just saw that the raw materials of this fish have long been rancid and stinky, and they must not be imported again, but the female chef of Da Zhou used such ingredients to cook for the princess, and his subordinates dared to think that this chef surnamed Ning must have bad intentions and sincerely want to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries!" ”

"How can such a thing happen?" Princess Xia Bo was shocked and angry, put the fish piece in her hand under her nose and sniffed it carefully, and sure enough, she smelled the slightest stench, and then thought about Ning Xi's appearance of following Jun Qianyu just now, and concluded that she was deliberately trying to smash the vegetables in order to prevent herself from marrying King Yu.

Princess Xia Bo sneered: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you say about this?" ”

The prince didn't know much about Ning Xi, and he was a little surprised at this time, so he couldn't help but glance at Jun Qianyu.

Jun Qianyu calmly stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of stinky mandarin fish in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed it carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face, and said with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, it came out of a wild place, and I have shallow knowledge, so I make such a fuss, I have a lot of resources, and the methods of concocting ingredients in various places are strange, but there are some strange tastes in the process of concocting, so what?" After all, the chef can make the best delicious, that is the chef's ability. ”

After speaking, he sandwiched a piece into the prince's bowl: "Big brother, you can taste it too!" ”

The prince picked up the piece of fish and smelled it, it seemed to be fragrant but not fragrant, it seemed to be smelly but not smelly, the smell was very strange, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, could it be that in order to cover up this Ning Xi, he also said that the smelly thing was fragrant, and he had to drag himself into the water to cover him?

In the face of Jun Qianyu's earnest gaze, the prince stuffed the piece of fish meat into his mouth as if he were dead, and let it out, even if it was terrible, he had to perform an extremely delicious appearance.

As soon as the fish is in the mouth, the prince is flustered, it seems that it is not as unpalatable as imagined, the meat of this fish is firm, very chewy, it feels a little fragrant, a little smelly, and a little spicy, chew it carefully, and feel more and more fragrant, the taste is endless.

I couldn't help but nod and praised: "It's really delicious." ”

Princess Xia Bo looked embarrassed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King Yu, Xia Bo is not strict in disciplining his subordinates, but he taught the two to laugh." After speaking, he glared at Hassan fiercely, "Presumptuous, I dare to run around and talk nonsense without understanding clearly, come here, take me down and beat me hard!" ”

Hassan originally just wanted to invite credit, after all, after smelling the smell of stinky mandarin fish, no one would have thought that it could still be eaten, but he didn't expect to end up like this, he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and he lay on the ground and begged for mercy loudly: "The princess spares her life, and her subordinates don't dare anymore." ”

A few strong guards came up, some dragged their hands, some dragged their feet, and some covered their mouths, and they got people out at once, and the prince and Jun Qianyu ate the delicacies on the table as if they didn't see them.

The princess was a little embarrassed, and she also picked up her chopsticks and ate it.

At first, I couldn't let go of it, but gradually I got carried away, and I was attracted by the deliciousness of the food, and I didn't even care about the demeanor in front of the person I liked, and I just ate it in a big gulp, she grew so big, and it was the first time to eat such a unique and extremely delicious thing!

In particular, the sour soup fish soaked in the red thick soup has a sour and delicious taste and full of spiciness, which makes people have a great appetite, and they can't stop eating while sighing, and their lips are so spicy that they keep stuffing it into their mouths.

And the rice topped with a thick yellow sauce, mixed with crispy stewed chicken and potatoes, was so delicious that even Princess Nakba, who had never been a fan of rice, couldn't help but eat two bowls in a row.

In the end, holding a bulging belly, he waved his hand again and again: "No, I really can't eat it." "As a princess, it's the first time she's eaten so out of shape!

The prince smiled: "It's good if the princess is satisfied!" ”

Princess Xia Bo thought for a while and said, "Since this Miss Ning cooks so deliciously, after eating her dishes, and then eating others, it is all tasteless, why don't you let her stay in the post house for a few days and cook for me for a few days?" ”

"I'm sorry, Miss Ning is not a chef, and she is just here to help today, since the princess thinks that she is better than the chef of your Dayue Kingdom, then she should keep her promise and stay in Da Zhou and her relatives." Jun Qianyu said coldly.

Although his tone was not very good, Princess Xia Bo's heart was still sweet: "Xia Bo naturally won't break his promise, but I have a request." ”

"Oh, I wonder what the princess wants?" The prince asked.

The prince frowned and said: "The princess has just arrived, I'm afraid I don't know enough about the etiquette and customs of our Great Zhou, in our place, marriage is about the words of the matchmaker and the order of the parents, even if it is a princess, she has never decided her own marriage matters, not to mention that the princess doesn't know much about our sons here, in case she chooses a romantic one, wouldn't it hurt the princess?" Please rest assured that we will carefully select and choose the most suitable man for the princess. ”

Princess Xia Bo said: "According to your rules, it is appalling enough for me to sit here and talk to you about my marriage, but in our Dayue, every woman can freely choose who her husband chooses, since the two countries want to marry Qin and Jin, they should also respect their respective customs and habits!" ”

"What does the princess mean?"

"Isn't the emperor's golden words more useful than the words of any parents and matchmakers? I asked to see the emperor in person, tell the emperor about the person I like, and ask the emperor to marry me! ”

"No! I don't think even if the King of Dayue is here, he won't let you do this! Jun Qianyu said unhappily, Princess Xia Bo looked at him with red eyes, and he naturally knew what she meant.

The prince glanced at the fifth brother, Jun Qianyu had to marry a woman from the people, he knew a little, but from the position of being a big brother, he didn't quite agree, even if he could ascend to the throne in the future, he could protect this younger brother, but the power in the DPRK and China, if there was a strong Yue family, it would be very beneficial to his future development, and marrying the princess of Dayue Kingdom, the entire Dayue Kingdom in the future would be his strong backing, the prince thought that let Jun Qianyu marry Princess Dayue, It's also a good thing.

Therefore, he didn't want to say anything about it: "Princess, this palace can't be the master of this matter, why don't you let this palace go back to your father and see what your father thinks?" ”

"Okay, then Xia Bo will wait for the good news of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Leaving the post house, Jun Qianyu said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, that Da Yue Kingdom is just a small vassal country, even if you don't marry them, it's not a big deal, why is the eldest brother so polite, and he still agrees to the unreasonable request of the unruly princess?" ”

The prince said: "Even if we are not afraid of the Da Yue country, but where there is a war, it is the common people who suffer, and it is best to solve it peacefully, not to mention that the Da Yue princess, although she is a little willful, but she is also straightforward, and she has no scheming, this kind of person marries back is the most worry-free." ”

"In that case, wouldn't it be good for the eldest brother to marry back and be a side concubine?"

The prince said seriously: "If she is willing, I will have no problem." ”
