The next day, when Chu Yu was washing his face and Mingyu was making the bed, he asked, "Sister, the woman who came back with you yesterday is the person the prince liked before?" ”

"How do you know?"

"In the morning, people are talking, I heard some people say that she used to live in the house, and then left, it's called Allure, right?"

"Hmm."

"What does my sister think?"

Hatsuyu shook his head.

"I really didn't expect that so many things would happen since my sister got better, no matter what, Mingyu will be by my sister's side, and I will go wherever my sister goes."

"Well, it's best not to mention my identity to anyone else, the less people know about it, the better. I'm just Princess Anping now, the owner of Siyu Restaurant, and your sister. As for the girl in Allure, let's see what the prince plans. For her own affairs, Chu Yu did not hide anything from the people around her, she believed that they were all measured.

"Sister, don't worry, we know how to do it."

"Hmm."

Mingyu tied Chu Yu's hair in a bun, and the two got up and went to the front hall.

Breakfast was ready, and as soon as Chu Yu sat down, Nan Muxi came.

The two of them did not speak quietly.

"Lord, I just went to call the girl in Allure, and she said that she didn't have much appetite, so she wouldn't come to breakfast." Lu Bo walked in and broke the silence between the two.

"That's a place for someone to eat."

"Yes, lord."

"Lord Wang, is the girl in Allure okay?" Chu Yu didn't want to take the initiative to mention the matter of Allure, but he still opened his mouth weakly.

"Probably tired from the journey, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"Hmm." Chu Yu suddenly thought of something, and continued: "Lord Wang, I heard Mingyu say that the triennial cooking competition is about to start, can I participate?" Although Chu Yu likes to study food, she didn't really want to participate in any competitions, but in order to distract herself, she decided to find something to do for herself.

"If you want to participate, you can sign up."

"As a princess, is this really good?"

"Haha, this king doesn't play cards according to common sense, and this king's princess also doesn't play cards according to common sense, doesn't sound bad?" Nan Muxi smiled at a rare sight.

"Then thank you, Lord Wang."

"Shangshi Bureau organizes a cooking competition every three years, and if you miss this time, you have to wait a long time, so you can participate in it."

"I heard that the first place this year can get 5,000 taels of gold, it's very tempting!" Chu Yu only felt that what he saw was golden. "However, it is still difficult to stand out, and there will be a lot of people participating."

"That's natural, even if it's not for money, in order to let the emperor eat the dishes he cooks, he has to squeeze his head to participate, every competition is very lively, and Yu'er will not be disappointed."

"The emperor tasted it himself?"

"Well, the royal brother has always enjoyed with the people, so naturally he will not miss such an opportunity."

"Sounds great!"

"Well, there are some changes in the format this year, the registered participants play their own according to the ingredients provided on the spot, and complete it within the specified time, and the ranking will be directly announced after tasting by the royal brother, the officials of the Shangshi Bureau, and the representatives of the common people. If you disagree with the result, you can raise it directly, or you can taste other people's dishes on the spot. ”

At this time, Chu Yu had forgotten about his troubles and was completely attracted by this cooking competition. "The prince said that I want to participate even more!"

"Then I'll sign you up tomorrow."

"People don't think I'm going through the back door, do they?"

"I think too much, I have to screen after registration, and the list of participants will be posted in the end, and everyone doesn't know who made the dishes when they taste it on the spot, and finally the name will correspond to me, and there is no chance to go through the back door." Nan Muxi explained patiently.

"Then I'm relieved, how to screen?"

"If there are many applicants, the preliminary round will be held in groups according to the number of people, and the preliminary round is that everyone will make a dish according to the given dish name, and bring the dish they made to the Shangshi Bureau according to the notified time. A few winners are selected from each group, and in the end, only sixteen people will participate in the final competition. ”

"Oh, that's it. Are there any requirements for ingredients? ”

"There are no requirements, they are all the most ordinary ingredients."

"Well, I can prepare well."

The two of you talked a lot about the cooking competition, and they all put aside the matter of Allure for the time being.

The next day, Nan Muxi signed up for Chuyu. A few days later, Chu Yu received a notice asking her to bring the dish called "Spring Garden" to the Shangshi Bureau before noon the next day.

Spring in the garden? Chu Yu pondered in his heart, and soon had an idea. That night, she brought the food to Nan Muxi to taste.

"Well, it looks a little bit like a garden full of spring." Nan Muxi looked at the rather elaborate presentation and praised it from the bottom of his heart.

"Lord, how about a quick taste." Chu Yu was a little impatient, she tried it herself, but she didn't know if it would match other people's tastes.

"Okay." Saying that, Nan Muxi first sandwiched the shrimp in his mouth, then sandwiched the shrimp underneath, and then scooped a spoonful of the colorful one in the middle, and finally ate a green vegetable, eating it with relish.

"How?"

"Well, the shrimp retains its original taste, these colorful cured meats with peas, corn and carrots, what is this?" Nan Muxi pointed to the small square pieces under the shrimp with his chopsticks.

"Made of tofu and meat, do you feel greasy to eat?"

"The meat and vegetable pairing, the content is very rich, and it tastes very good!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, the preliminary round must be fine."

"Since the prince said so, then I will believe it, and I will go to the kitchen to study it again and see if there is anything that can be improved."

As Nan Muxi said, Chu Yu passed the preliminary round very smoothly. For the final competition, she ran to the kitchen whenever she had time, and made something to eat every day. In this way, not only Nan Muxi has a blessing, but also everyone in the mansion has a blessing.

"The princess is so good at making such delicious food." One day at the dinner table, Allure said.

"If the girl likes it, eat more." After speaking, Chu Yu smiled and put some dishes into Nan Muxi's bowl.

After all, if you live in the same house, even if you don't think about it at first, you will still often meet with Allure. She told herself not to worry about the problem of Allure first, and to go all out for the cooking competition, and she should give Nan Muxi time to figure it out.

"It's hard work, you should eat more, the cooking competition is important to participate, don't tire yourself out." Nan Muxi couldn't hide the concern in his eyes.

Allure saw everything in his eyes and ate silently.

"Well, I know, I'm also having a good time, and I'm not thinking about getting any rankings. It's also a good thing for Siyu Restaurant to research new dishes, and I was just studying these when I was okay before. "When it comes to cooking, Hatsuyu's eyes always sparkle.

"It's best if you think so."

"The princess has what she likes and is good at, which is rare, compared with the princess, Allure is really ashamed."

"Allure girl is serious, everyone has their own unique charm, and I'm sure you have it too." For being able to face Allure so calmly, Chu Yu was also a little surprised.

"Really? Allure doesn't seem to have it, and it doesn't even have basic survival skills, and if you leave the palace, you don't know where to go. Allure said, his expression gloomy.

"Allure, you ......" Nan Muxi looked at Allure, his expression was still a little complicated.

"Mu Xi, I don't think I should disturb your life with the princess here, but I really don't know where I can go." A drop of tears began to slide, and the cute look made even Chu Yu a little overwhelmed.

"You can live in the house for the time being." Nan Muxi couldn't say anything else to comfort her at this moment.

"I'm full, you keep eating, I'll go to the kitchen and see how my soup goes." Chu Yu looked at the two of them and didn't want to participate in their conversation, so he got up and went to the kitchen without waiting for them to respond.

After Chu Yu left, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Allure, I ...... you It's been so long that I can't tell how I'm feeling. Nan Muxi knew that Chu Yu was giving him a chance, and he was also giving him time, so that he could see his mind clearly, and he shouldn't be so unclear and procrastinating.

"Is it because of the princess?" Allure asked bluntly.

"Even if there is no princess, I am a little overwhelmed if you leave for a few years and reappear." Nanmuxi didn't lie, he really didn't know what to do.

Hearing Nan Muxi say this, Allure stood up directly and walked to him, holding Nan Muxi's hand with both hands. "Mu Xi, you still love me, don't you? It's me who didn't say goodbye at the beginning, I should confess to you, and I should believe that you can solve all the problems properly. ”

Nan Muxi withdrew his hand: "Allure, you don't want to be like this." Once upon a time, now is now, perhaps, missed is missed. This was not what Nan Muxi had expected to say, but he said it like this, and he was a little surprised when he finished speaking.

Allure was stunned, she didn't expect Nan Muxi to say this, tears fell like rain in an instant, and she couldn't speak.

"Allure, I just said, you live in the house for the time being, and if you need anything, tell your subordinates." With that, Nan Muxi got up and walked in the direction of the study, he seemed to have figured out something.
