Everyone came to the long European table used to entertain guests.
Exquisitely carved repeated patterns are printed on the table legs, a lace tablecloth is spread on the tabletop, white porcelain tableware is placed on the fabric placemat, and the gold-rimmed bowls and chopsticks are low-key and luxurious.
"Guys, please take a seat." Shi Muning raised his lips and smiled brightly.
She deliberately ordered someone to dress her up, changed into a European-style palace dress, rolled up her black hair, and put on light makeup on her face, making her look much better than when she just saw her in the bedroom.
As the crown prince, Lu Si'en had to deal with official duties during the day, but he still rushed back to accompany his wife during dinner time. At this moment, he happened to walk to the restaurant in a hurry, "Why did you get out of bed to eat today?"
Seeing his wife standing in front of the dining table, he immediately opened his long legs and walked steadily to her side. He put his arm around her waist and hugged her, "Are you feeling better?"
Hearing this, Shi Muning looked sideways at the man with a smile.
Her lips curled up slightly, and there was a charming light in her eyes between her smiles. "Monica encountered some accidents today. Fortunately, she was helped by two saviors. It is appropriate to treat her to a banquet according to etiquette to express her gratitude."
"Accident?" Lu Si'en could not help but frown slightly.
He looked sideways at Monica and saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess was glued to the dishes Shi Qinglan had cooked and couldn't take her eyes away. At this moment, she didn't even notice that the topic had shifted to him.
Lu Si En said in a deep voice, "Monica."
"Ah... ah?" Monica immediately came to her senses in confusion.
She followed the sound and looked over, and when she saw her brother coming back, she smiled and rolled her eyes, and shouted in a soft and clear voice, "Brother Wang!"
"What happened to the accident?" Lu Sien frowned.
Monica curled her lips lightly and recounted what happened in that small town vividly, blowing Shi Qinglan to the sky without reservation and not stingy with her own praise.
"That's it." Lu Si'en nodded slightly in understanding.
After learning that his biological sister had been rescued by his benefactor, his attitude towards Shi Qinglan and Bo Yucheng was naturally much more friendly, "In that case, please take a seat, please."
Shi Qinglan and Bo Yucheng immediately took their seats.
Jian Shutong, who was invited by the way, was left standing next to her. No one seemed to care about her existence. No one even asked her to take a seat, so she could only sit down behind them in embarrassment.
"Let's serve the meal." Shi Muning's red lips curved slightly as she looked at the butler.
The butler bowed slightly, straightened his back and patted his hands twice to signal. The servants then came forward with plates and placed several dishes of the two chefs on the table, but they clearly distinguished each dish. By whose hand.
Those dishes made by Shi Qinglan are particularly eye-catching!
The crayfish is bright red in color, and the coriander leaves are dotted among the large red areas. The rich fragrance is especially mouth-watering.
The boiled pork slices have tender meat and fresh vegetables, and the soup is red and oily. The dried chili peppers and red oil complement each other well. The yellow stewed chicken is also seasoned with a few pieces of chili pepper, and Sichuan peppercorns can still be seen vaguely in the soup.
Shi Muning's eyes brightened instantly. She looked at these dishes that made her dream about in surprise, and looked at her husband with a sweet smile, "My dear, these dishes tonight are..."
"Presumptuous!" Lu Si'en suddenly became angry and shouted at the table.
The porcelain tableware made some crisp collision sounds due to his movements, and the entire table suddenly shook.
Shi Muning was startled by his angry look, his eyes were dazed for a moment, and he looked up at her husband in confusion.
"Who allows you to feed the princess spicy food?" Lu Si'en asked with a cold face, suppressing his voice and anger.
Hearing this, Monica immediately lowered her head like an ostrich.
Jian Shutong glanced at Shilan faintly, raised her lips as if she was gloating, and her smile seemed a little contemptuous.
"Si En..." Shi Muning gently grabbed the corner of her husband's clothes.
Lu Si En did not implicate his anger on his wife. He wrapped his big palm around her hand and pressed his lips tightly into a line.
Shi Muning looked at Shi Qinglan apologetically, and she immediately stood up and explained, "I can't blame anyone else for this. It was me who suggested that I want to eat these dishes because I was really greedy..."
"Did Jian Shutong cook these dishes tonight?" Lu Si'en looked at the person he was pointing at with sharp eyes.
He naturally knew that his wife had been greedy for a long time, and he would always be used to it no matter how arrogant she was, but it was only the matter of her body that made him have to be cautious, so he could only control her diet ruthlessly.
And Jian Shutong is the nutritionist he hired for his wife, and she has the obligation to supervise the princess's diet! Even if the princess proposes to eat these dishes, as a nutritionist she still has the responsibility!
"His Majesty the Crown Prince has misunderstood." Jian Shutong stood up.
Her soft lips slightly curved, and she spread her palms to indicate the direction of the other dishes, "I cooked these dishes."
Seeing this, Lu Si'en glanced in the direction she indicated.
Jian Shutong's dishes seem to be much lighter, including lotus root oatmeal porridge, crucian carp tofu soup, minced meat and steamed eggs...
But Shi Muning got tired of seeing these dishes. After all, she had been eating these dishes for three months!
"Then what's going on?" Lu Si'en asked in a deep voice.
Bo Yucheng's narrow eyes narrowed slightly. He was quite unhappy with the so-called crown prince questioning the girl next to him, and the aura around him couldn't help but become colder...
But Shi Qinglan stood up gracefully, raised her pretty face and looked at him generously and dignifiedly, "Your Majesty the Crown Prince, I made these dishes."
"You?" Lu Si'en looked at her coldly.
Perhaps sensing the sinister aura of the man next to her, Shi Qinglan raised her hand and gently placed her soft, boneless hand on his shoulder, and squeezed it softly twice, as if to soothe her emotions.
"That's right, it's me." Shi Qinglan raised her red lips slightly, "I made all the spicy dishes on the table."
Hearing this, Lu Si En's brows furrowed tightly.
He had never seen someone so confident in doing something wrong, but since she was Monica's savior, Lu Si'en still suppressed some anger and did not throw her out directly!
"Jian Shutong is responsible for the princess's meals. Who allowed this person to enter the kitchen?" Lu Si'en's eyes were sharp.
Hearing this, the little ostrich Monica raised her hand carefully, her whole body shrinking into a ball, "Yes... it's me."
"Monica!" Lu Si'en's forehead twitched, "You should know that your wife, Wang, is in poor health and cannot just eat food cooked by others, let alone such spicy food! You..."
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, you should not blame the princess."
Jian Shutong said self-righteously, "Actually, the princess also pities the princess, mainly because of this Miss Shi. She claims to be an international registered nutritionist and insists on competing with me in terms of nutritional diet. In addition, she wants to beg for help." To win the princess’s favor, I decided to cook these dishes in an attempt to gain her favor.”
