On the verandah, An Ruqing and Xiao Tong walked one after the other.

Before arriving in the kitchen, An Ruqing's sleeve was suddenly grabbed.

"Do what?"

An Ruqing looked back at Xiao Tong in confusion, and when they looked at each other, Xiao Tong curled his lips and smiled.

She showed a bit of greed on her face, and as she spoke, she reached out and hugged An Ruqing's arm, "An Ruqing, Miss Ben heard that you cooked a good dish, I don't know what you plan to do today to repay me?" ”

Seeing this, An Ruqing bowed her head silently and looked at her arm that was hugged by the child.

She...... The relationship with the child is not good enough to hug each other, right?

Besides, they're rivals!

Who can be so calm and hug each other?

An Ruqing's dark eyes flashed dazed and weird, and the words that the little boy said were strangely tight in his ears.

The person who helped the child was Mo Nanchen, even if he really wanted to thank her, he should also come forward.

Now that Mo Nanchen is not in the palace, she and Mo Nanchen are husband and wife, although the husband and wife are also one, it is normal for the former not to come forward to thank her.

But what Xiao Tong said, she was given a kind of thing, as if she was the one who helped Xiao Tong.

"What do you think?" Seeing that An Ruqing had been losing her soul, Xiao Tong frowned slightly and nudged her.

When the words fell, An Ruqing came back to her senses, and when she raised her eyes to meet the child's clear eyes, she paused and then shook her head.

That's it, after all, Xiaotong helped Mo Nanchen, and she didn't have to think so much, the more she thought about it, the more troubled she became.

Rather than this, it is better to obey the child's wishes as soon as possible and entertain her well.

An Ruqing walked towards the kitchen again, and when a group of people in the kitchen saw her coming, they hurriedly put down the things in their hands and saluted.

"The princess came over today, but what do you want to eat?" The kitchen steward stepped forward happily.

Hearing this, An Ruqing shook her head, she glanced back at the little boy who was looking around, and then looked at the steward: "You all go down, you don't have to prepare a meal today." ”

As soon as he heard this, the steward's eyes widened slightly, and he looked confused and subconsciously said: "But haven't you eaten yet, if I wait, who will cook for you!" ”

"She'll do it herself!"

Hearing what the steward said, Xiao Tong hurriedly said, and after speaking, she glanced at An Ruqing again, and kept raising her eyebrows and smiling at her.

The steward smacked his tongue and didn't know what to do, whose princess would cook by herself, if this was spread, maybe how to arrange the palace.

"Alright, let's all go down."

An Ruqing frowned slightly and waved her hand, seeing this, the steward didn't want to say anything more, so she had to lead a group of cooks away.

In the huge kitchen, only An Ruqing and Xiaotong were left.

An Ruqing walked towards the stove, and only then picked up a cucumber, when she heard a rush of footsteps, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that it was Minghui who led Xiaoying over.

"Princess!"

Xiao Ying walked quickly to An Ruqing, looking at An Ruqing, who had already tied her cuffs, her eyes were dyed with surprise: "Princess, do you want to cook yourself?" ”

"Exactly, how did you get here?"

"The slave heard Minghui say that you are here, and the slave and the maid are worried about you, so they came to take a look." Xiao Ying didn't dare to hide anything.

The two looked at each other as if no one was chatting, and the little boy's dark eyes were half-narrowed when he saw it, and his eyes were full of impatience.

She hugged her hands around her chest, looking at Xiao Ying who was chattering dissatisfied, and then looked at An Ruqing: "When do you want to start preparing meals?" Miss Ben was hungry for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ying's eyes widened again, looking at Xiao Tong in disbelief.

She never expected that the princess of her family would retire from the kitchen and cook the food herself for the child in front of her!

Her princess is so noble, how can she make things for children to eat by herself!

Xiao Ying was in a hurry, she hurriedly grabbed An Ruqing's sleeve, her eyebrows and eyes showed urgency, "Princess, what does the young lady want to eat, you tell the slave maid, the slave maid will do it!" ”

"You are a dignified princess, but you are a daughter, how can you enter a place like the kitchen, and how can you cook something for her to eat!"

Xiao Ying didn't know what was happening in front of the palace, and every time Xiao Tong came to the palace in the past, she had a look of superiority, and Xiao Ying didn't have a good impression of her.

An Ruqing looked back at Xiao Tong's disdainful expression staring at Xiao Ying, she immediately pursed her lips and smiled, patted Xiao Ying on the shoulder to reassure: "You girl, don't think too much, I cooked today to thank Xiao Tong, you don't want to make up anything else." ”

As she spoke, she walked directly to the place where the vegetables were placed, and then called the little boy and picked out a few dishes she liked.

"Miss Ben loves roast duck the most, An Ruqing, you have to do it well, but don't let Miss Ben down!"

Xiao Tong stood beside An Ruqing with his waist crossed, watching her handle the duck meat step by step, and the smile in his eyes became a little thicker.

Not long after, Xiaoying came over and tied an apron for An Ruqing.

An Ruqing's white palm spoon burned the oil in the pot for a few breaths, and then poured all the duck meat.

The moment the duck meat is put into the pot, the fragrance of the duck meat spreads and lasts in the kitchen.

Xiao Tong stood aside and watched curiously, she never entered the kitchen, but she didn't know how to cook, and now looking at An Ruqing's movements, she only felt extremely novel.

About half an hour later, the duck meat was served on a plate with a simmering heat.

The little boy exaggerated and snorted, "This meat is so fragrant!" ”

She couldn't wait to take a pair of chopsticks and pick up a piece of golden and fragrant duck meat, and the next moment her eyes widened a little, and her face was full of surprise.

After tasting a few pieces, the little boy couldn't help but scratch An Ruqing's sleeve and shook it slightly, "An Ruqing, your cooking skills are so good, why don't you teach me to cook too!" ”

As she spoke, she became even more excited, exuding happiness all over her body, as if she had already seen herself learn to cook with An Ruqing.

An Ruqing frowned and glanced at Xiao Tong, looking at her hand that kept shaking her arm, her expression was slightly paused.

After a while, she nodded helplessly.

According to Xiao Tong's temperament, if she doesn't teach her to cook today, she won't give up.

"And what do you want to learn?" An Ruqing withdrew her hand without a trace and asked as if changing the topic.

Except for being close to Mo Nanchen, she is not used to being so close to others.

The child lowered his eyes to look at the empty hand, his eyes showing loss, but when he raised his eyes, the color of his eyes had been hidden by her.

"Hmm...... Let's make simple chicken legs, right? Miss Ben remembers An Ruqing, you still like to eat. ”

The boy said as he turned to look for the chicken legs.

An Ruqing, who heard her words, was stunned again.

She likes to eat chicken legs, but Xiao Tong has never eaten in the palace, and she and Xiao Tong are not friends, how can she know that she likes to eat chicken legs?

The strange feeling that had been suppressed once again all surfaced.

Looking at the little boy who was busy with chicken legs and began to clean, the doubts in An Ruqing's heart reached the extreme.

However, patience has always been a point that An Ruqing makes good use of.

Even if she was strange in her heart, she never showed the slightest look.

She stepped forward silently, instructed the child to cut a knife on the chicken legs, and taught her to blanch the chicken legs in the water, and then began to teach her to cook.

In the process of learning as a child, she didn't make any demons, and An Ruqing was slightly relieved when she saw this, and her expression was not as tense as at the beginning.
