Princess Jing'an's heart suddenly moved, she pursed her lips and said, "What's wrong with this? I'll just ask the cook to cook it for you."
Du Heng hesitated and said: "The princess just said that the spicy cabbage stew is very hot and comforting, and my subordinates are a little greedy."
Princess Jing'an looked up at him, a little surprised: "You want to eat spicy cabbage stew?"
Du Heng was a little embarrassed: "If it's troublesome, forget it."
"It's no trouble. Didn't you just bring wild boar meat here?" Princess Jing'an said, smiling again, "It's just that the cook in my house is from Dali, so I'm afraid she won't be able to cook Korean spicy food." Cabbage stew is something I have grown up eating. Although I only cooked in Korea many years ago, I still know the general process.”
Du Heng couldn't help but look surprised: "The princess is willing to cook for her subordinates?"
Princess Jing'an's cheeks were slightly red. She regretted what she said without thinking just now, but she couldn't take it back. She lowered her head and whispered: "I'm not good at cooking, otherwise I'd better ask the cook to do it for you." …”
"No, no, no, no, I really want to try Princess Jing'an's craftsmanship," Du Heng hurriedly stopped the topic of Princess Jing'an. He was so excited that he was afraid that Princess Jing'an would not agree, so he was too busy to talk to Princess Jing'an. Yi Yi said, "I would like to thank the princess."
"Get up quickly," Princess Jing'an was so busy that she helped Du Heng up. After receiving such a great courtesy, she couldn't say any more words of refusal. After a pause, she whispered, "It's been so many years." "This is my first time cooking, so please be patient if I don't do well."
Du Heng was so excited that he was a little incoherent: "No, the princess is the best in everything she does."
Princess Jing'an looked at Du Heng's expression and felt that her heartbeat was abnormal again. She was so busy that she turned around to get the spicy cabbage. Du Heng also hurriedly took out the pork from his backpack. The two of them, one tall and one short, stood side by side. At the table, Princess Jing'an was cutting spicy cabbage and Du Heng was cutting pork.
"Princess, you don't need to do anything. Just give me guidance and I'll do it." How could Du Heng really be willing to let Princess Jing'an really wash her hands and make soup? He was so busy that he had to grab the kitchen knife from Princess Jing'an's hand.
"I have nothing to do when I'm idle," Princess Jing'an rolled up her sleeves and carefully chopped spicy cabbage while saying softly, "Actually, I quite like cooking. My father used to like to eat the spicy cabbage I made the most. It’s stewed meat. I come here several times every winter to try it. However, Dali is very hierarchical and there is no way that the master cooks. So I have never been in the kitchen since I joined Dali. You see, all this My cooking skills are so rusty.”
Du Heng looked at those fair and slender hands, cutting the fiery red spicy cabbage into rows of thin shreds. It was very beautiful. When he spoke again, his voice was gentle: "The princess is really virtuous."
Princess Jing'an licked her lips bitterly. Once upon a time, due to an unworthy reputation, she was demoted from the imperial concubine to the side concubine, and suffered all the cold treatment and abuse from her aunt. Although it has passed now, she still feels sad every time she thinks about it.
That year, she was only seventeen years old, and she married into Dali with great splendor. She was the most favored princess of Goryeo, her husband's family was the most prestigious royal family in Dali, and her husband was a dragon and a phoenix among men, so she was naturally very energetic. She is tall, but since she entered the palace, her longing and expectations have been stifled.
The soup she made for her husband was rejected by him and he didn't even eat a bite of the soup from hot to cold. Therefore, her mother-in-law scolded her for most of the day, saying that she didn't understand the rules and was looking down on herself. She really didn't understand. She just cooked a meal for her husband, why did she look down upon herself
