Su Wan, who returned to her seat, felt that someone was looking at her, and looked sideways, just in time to meet Chu Mo's scorching gaze.

Su Wan was a little uncomfortable stared at by Chu Mohan: "Nine Emperor Princes, why do you keep staring at me?" ”

Chu Mohan smiled stupidly: "Wan'er, you were so beautiful just now, like a butterfly flying among the flowers." ”

Regarding Chu Mohan's praise for her, Su Wan scratched her head with some embarrassment.

The emperor's birthday banquet was coming to an end, and after the emperor said a few words, everyone began to leave.

Su Wan and Chu Mohan left with the crowd.

On the second day after the Birthday Festival, it rained in autumn, one autumn rain and one cold, and after this autumn rain, the weather began to get a little colder.

Su Wan leaned back on the soft couch, holding a book in her hand.

When Apricot came in with soup. Seeing Su Wan, I don't know when she fell asleep.

Su Wan slept very lightly, and when Xing'er came in, she woke up.

"Did the slave wake up the princess?"

Su Wan yawned: "No, what is on your hand?" ”

Su Wan's gaze fell on the large porcelain bowl in Xing'er's hand.

Xing'er smiled and said, "The soup that the slave maid wrapped in the morning, how about the princess taste it?" ”

As soon as she heard that there was something to eat, Su Wan's eyes lit up.

Xing'er put the soup on the table, and Su Wan couldn't wait to take a sip.

Su Wan frowned: "There are medicinal herbs in this soup?" ”

Xing'er nodded: "Autumn is here, it's time for food supplements, and the slave maid put some medicinal herbs in the soup to nourish the body." ”

She doesn't like to add herbs to the delicious food, and the taste of the food changes.

At this time, Chu Mohan came in from outside.

Su Wan beckoned to Chu Mohan in line with the principle that food should not be wasted: "The Nine Emperor Princes have wrapped the soup, do you want to drink it?" ”

"Yes, I want to drink."

Chu Mohan drank the soup in one go, touched his mouth, and said to Xing'er: "Is there still Xing'er?" ”

"Yes."

"I'm going to drink it again."

Seeing that Chu Mohan liked to drink the soup she packed, he said happily: "Yes, the Nine Emperor Princes, you will wait, and the slave will go to make soup." ”

Chu Mohan drank several bowls of soup in one go, and Su Wan was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable if he drank too much, so he didn't let him drink it anymore.

Chu Mohan blinked his phoenix eyes and looked at Su Wan aggrievedly.

Su Wan took a deep breath and said coldly: "It's not that you won't be allowed to drink, but you have drunk so much, I'm afraid you will be overwhelmed." ”

Chu Mohan nodded obediently: "Then I won't drink it today, and I'll drink it tomorrow." ”

Su Wan raised her forehead, this kind of soup with such a big smell of medicinal herbs, where is it delicious.

Anyway, there is nothing to do left and right, Su Wan said: "Since you love soup so much, I will make it for you tomorrow." ”

Hearing that there was something to eat, Chu Mohan was naturally happy, but the apricots on the side were a little uneasy.

In her memory, Su Wan had never cooked.

"These things are the slave's business, how can you let the princess cook."

Su Wan's words poked at Xing'er's thoughts: "Are you afraid of me, you will make a mess of the kitchen?" Or are you afraid that the soup I make will not taste good? ”

Su Wan stared at Xing'er for a moment, Xing'er was like sitting on pins and needles, with a bitter face: "The slave is just afraid that the princess will hurt you." ”

Xing'er was loyal to Su Wan, and Su Wan knew that Xing'er was really worried about her.

Su Wan smiled and said: "Everything has to have a first time, with Xing'er on your side to guide me, I will definitely make delicious soup." ”

Su Wan looked eager to try and do a big job.

Xing'er sighed, she was now a little worried about whether the kitchen would be destroyed by Su Wan.

Neither the original owner nor she has any experience in cooking.

The next morning, when Su Wan woke up, Chu Mohan had already gotten up, Su Wan was used to sleeping in the same bed with Chu Mohan, Chu Mohan was stupid, and he went to bed.

Su Wan stretched, put on her shoes and got out of bed.

Su Wan opened the door, and Xing'er was already waiting outside the door with a basin.

After dinner, today's Chu Mohan did not go to the study to practice calligraphy, but kept staring at Su Wan.

Su Wan knew that Chu Mohan had been staring at her all the time in order to wait for her to make soup for her to drink.

Su Wan got up and walked towards the small kitchen, Xing'er followed uneasily, and Chu Mohan was very happy, and there would be delicious soup to drink in a while.

Coming to the kitchen, Su Wan took a turn, there were all the ingredients, Su Wan thought about it.

She remembers that her mother used to make soup for her and her brother, and she remembered that her mother once told her that the soup would be different depending on the season.

This is her first time cooking, so naturally she won't make difficult soups.

Xing'er saw that Su Wan was very entangled, and proposed; "Princess, why don't we make chicken soup?"

Su Wan thought about it and nodded; "Okay, what's the first step?"

Xing'er thought it was too complicated, and Su Wan couldn't understand it; "Princess, you cut the ginger well."

"Okay."

Su Wan answered, picked up a piece of ginger, she had never eaten pork, and she had seen a pig run, Su Wan held a kitchen knife in both hands and "chopped" towards the ginger placed on the board.

Apricot was startled and said busily; "That's not how the princess's knife is held."

Su Wan held the knife and looked at Xing'er; "How did you get the knife?"

Xing'er walked up to Su Wan's side, took the knife, and demonstrated with a smile; "When you cut something, hold it in one hand and hold the knife in the other, like this."

Su Wan looked at it very seriously.

"Princess, try again."

Su Wan took the knife and followed the example of Xing'er.

The ginger slices cut by Apricot are thick and even, and the ginger slices she cut are thick and thin.

Su Wan frowned and looked at the ginger slices on the board.

Apricot comforted; "It's going to be like this the first time."

As she spoke, Xing'er skillfully put the casserole on the charcoal stove, put the chicken that had been processed long ago into the pot, and closed the lid of the casserole.

Su Wan wondered; "Don't you put anything in there?"

Apricot said with a smile; "First boil the water over a large fire, and then skim out a layer of blood foam on top of the water when it boils."

She also thought that chicken soup was just chicken and other ingredients to cook in a casserole.

"Xing'er, you go and do it, I'll just look at the fire."

"Look at the work of the fire, let's do it as a slave!"

Su Wan pushed her aside; "That's not what I did."

Apricot had no choice but to compromise.

The next steps are relatively simple, Su Wan followed what Xing'er said, and put this material in the casserole.

Slowly the kitchen was filled with a faint fragrance, and Chu Mohan came to Su Wan's side; "It smells so good! I'm hungry, when can I eat? ”

Su Wan said with a smile; "You'll have to wait a while, if you're hungry, Nine Emperors, eat some snacks first."

Chu Mohan is a serious way; "I'm going to wait for the soup you made." Saying that, Chu Mohan sat back down, on his small bench, staring intently at the casserole.

The taste is getting more and more fragrant, and Su Wan is looking forward to it.

"It's almost time." Apricot said.

Su Wan was a little impatient; "Let me taste it first."

"It's better to let the slave maid make the soup first, and bring it to the house for the Nine Emperors and the Imperial Concubine to drink, so that the soup will not be too hot."

Su Wan and Chu Mohan sat on the chairs, Xing'er put the soup on the table, and the moment she opened the lid, the aroma was overflowing, and Su Wan's saliva was about to flow out.

Xing'er put the chicken soup in front of Su Wan and Chu Mohan, and both of them couldn't wait to take a sip of the bowl.

Apricot saw her little face wrinkled.

"Doesn't it taste good?"

Simple chicken broth is the easiest to make, and nothing can go wrong.

Su Wan frowned; "This soup...... It's so sweet. ”

Sweet?

Su Wan let Xing'er taste it.

Apricot took a sip, and it was true that the soup was sweet, not salty.

Apricot spoke slowly; "Princess, do you treat sugar as salt?"

Su Wan thought about it, and Xing'er told her that the second spice jar on the left on the table was salt, and she seemed to be putting the contents of the second spice jar on the right.

Sugar and salt are very similar on the outside.

Su Wan smiled awkwardly; "I really think of sugar as salt."

How could she be so careless, and she didn't taste the soup.

"I'm going to drink it again."

Chu Mohan's voice sounded in his ears, and Xing'er and Su Wan looked at him in unison.

The bowl in his hand was empty, and the soup in it had been drained by him.

Su Wan blinked and looked at him, although this soup was not unpleasant, it was impossible to drink it.

Su Wandao; "Nine Emperor Princes, you like to drink, I'll make it for you next time, I can only drink this bowl today."

Chu Mohan pouted; "But I'm still hungry."

Su Wan looked at Xing'er; "Xing'er, you go and prepare some food and bring it over, pour this soup!"

"Yes!"

Apricot took the soup away, and soon came in with some snacks.

Seeing that there was something to eat, Chu Mohan picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth.

Su Wan was afraid that he would choke if he ate too quickly, so she poured a glass of water and put it in front of Chu Mohan; "Slow down, no one will rob you."

Chu Mohan picked up a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to Su Wan's lips; "Wan'er, you eat it too, I remember Wan'er, you love to eat mung bean cake."

Su Wan's heart warmed, and she lowered her head slightly, looking at the mung bean cake that Chu Mohan was holding with her fair and slender fingers.

His nose was sour, his eyes were red, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Sakura lips held the mung bean cake in Chu Mohan's hand, and Su Wan felt sweet in her heart.

At this moment, Steward Wang walked in.

"Your Royal Highness, the princess, the eldest princess is here." Steward Wang said respectfully.

Chu Mohan got up happily; "Ning Xi is here?"

"Yes."

Chu Ningxi is Chu Mohan's own sister, born to the queen, not only the princess of Northern Chu, but also the only princess of Northern Chu, deeply favored by the emperor and the queen, Chu Ningxi is only fifteen years old this year, and has been very close to Chu Mohan since he was a child.

"Wan'er, I'll take you to see Yunxi."

Chu Mohan picked up Su Wan and walked out the door, and Steward Wang and Xing'er immediately followed behind the two.

Chu Yunxi often comes to the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion and knows the Nine Emperor Princesses well, and at this time she is sitting in the Nine Emperors' Mansion, in the pavilion in the garden.

Seeing Chu Mohan pulling a woman in pink towards her, Chu Yunxi beckoned to the two; "Ninth brother, ninth brother."

Chu Mohan pulled Su Wan into the pavilion, and before Chu Mohan could speak, Chu Yunxi said enthusiastically; "This is the ninth sister-in-law, right? The ninth sister-in-law is really good-looking. ”
