After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

Chapter 262 Apologizing on Behalf of My Husband

Seeing that the empress dowager's expression was even gloomier than before, Chu Nanyue glanced at Zhu Ruo before leaving quietly.

But she did not leave, instead she walked to the kitchen.

Although Jiang Wanyan deserved to die, the Queen Mother still felt sorry for her child, whom she had raised and loved for many years, no matter what mistakes she made.

The bell also needs to be tied.

In fact, as long as Prince Yan can show patience and appease the Queen Mother, she will eventually forgive him. After all, how can a raised grandson be as important as his own grandson?

But the King of Yan has such a bad temper...

So let her come.

The kitchen in Yikang Palace is very large and has all the necessary appliances. She loves cooking, so even though it is hot in summer, she doesn't feel tired.

However, she still took advantage of people's unpreparedness and removed the pain-free beatings and whippings because she was afraid of getting prickly heat.

But it’s easier to kneel, so keep it, it will be useful later.

"Greetings, Princess Yan." The servants in the kitchen bowed respectfully upon seeing her come in.

"Everyone, get up. This princess wants to borrow your kitchen to prepare lunch for the Queen Mother. You all go down." Chu Nanyue said in a clear voice.

She doesn't like strangers to interfere, and having Xiaotao is enough for her.

What's more, we have Sizhu to help today.

All the servants paused, and when they saw the handful of golden melon seeds given by Princess Yan, their eyes lit up. After expressing their gratitude, they bowed respectfully and left.

I don't know what happened to Prince Yan that angered the Queen Mother today. I think the Princess of Yan came here to apologize on behalf of her husband.

When have they ever seen the noble master cook personally?

King Yan is truly a blessed man.

The elderly have bad teeth and weakened digestive abilities, so they generally like to eat soft, easy-to-chew, digestible and light food, so Chu Nanyue quickly figured out what to do.

What's more, she is confident in her cooking skills.

She led Xiaotao and Sizhu to work in an orderly manner.

Xiaotao was fine as she was used to doing these things, but this was too difficult for Sizhu.

She was wielding a knife and a stick, but Chu Nanyue ordered her to wash and pick vegetables...

Chu Nanyue soon noticed that she was in a mess. She coughed lightly and asked uncertainly, "Sizhu, can you carve the shape of a phoenix?"

Sizhu immediately put down the mushroom in her hand and said firmly, "Yes!"

Chu Nanyue's eyes lit up, and she handed her a watermelon: "Then peel half of this watermelon and carve it into a phoenix."

The corner of Sizhu's mouth twitched: "Your servant... obeys your command."

In view of the previous experience, secret guards were not allowed to enter the palace, so this time she was changed to a slave.

Chu Nanyue smiled: "Our silk and bamboo buns look really good, don't they, Xiaotao?"

Xiao Tao immediately nodded and agreed, "It can be salty or sweet. I really like silk and bamboo."

He usually wears a black suit, holds a sword, and looks very majestic. But after changing into women's clothes, he looks even more charming than her. She is so envious.

Sizhu did not reply as usual, but her face turned slightly red, which was rare.

Chu Nanyue also smiled and stopped talking, concentrating on preparing lunch.

Old people generally like to eat sweets and pastries, so she stewed a sweet soup mainly made of red dates, wolfberries and rock sugar. After preparing the ingredients, she controlled the heat and simmered it slowly on a small charcoal stove.

As she prepared everything, Xiaotao also steamed the purple sweet potatoes and mashed them into a paste: "Princess, it's done. What's next?"

Chu Nanyue replied: "We will squeeze it into grape-sized balls, and then place them on a plate in the shape of grapes."

Purple sweet potatoes can not only supplement nutrition, but also promote digestion, protect gastric mucosa, and help improve constipation. Eating them in moderation is good for the body. And the way she does it not only makes it look good, but also has a good meaning.

This dish has a grand and majestic name, calling for the purple air coming from the east.

The shape is arranged vividly, add the right amount of vegetable leaves, pour honey on it, and you're done.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, with all its color, aroma and taste." Xiao Tao couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It's really good." Chu Nanyue couldn't help but brag about herself.

This was the first time she cooked this dish since coming to the other world.

“Are the broad beans ready?”

"Princess, it's packed."

Chu Nanyue glanced at the green broad beans, flipped the wok and started frying them, saying, "Let's stir-fry the broad beans."

Broad beans can improve brain health. Jiang Wanyan "injured" the Queen Mother's brain, so isn't she saving her just in time?

Next, she stewed a crucian carp. She controlled the heat herself until it turned into a thick milky white color and the whole kitchen was filled with fragrance. Then she changed the heat to low and made the next dish.

"What dish smells so good?"

"What is Princess Yan cooking?"

"It's just an ordinary crucian carp? How can Princess Yan make it so delicious?"

Although the servants left the kitchen, they did not dare to go too far, otherwise they would be considered derelict in their duty. Originally, they were squatting quietly in the corner waiting, but when the delicious and fragrant smell came, they could not help but stick their heads out to look.

The Princess of Yan is truly a capable person. Not only does she have outstanding medical skills, she is also an excellent cook.

Hearing the praise from outside, Chu Nanyue smiled slightly and continued to cook.

On the contrary, Xiao Tao's face showed an expression of naked boasting. Look, look, this is her master. She didn't believe that the Queen Mother would not be conquered after eating her master's food.

She was more obsessed with her master's cooking than his medical skills.

She is a real foodie.

Even Sizhu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

In two hours, Chu Nanyue cooked six dishes, the other three of which were sweet and sour yam cubes, which looked appetizing in their red color.

Steamed chicken with mushrooms is nutritious and delicious, and is loved by both adults and children.

Chestnut beef. Although most elderly people don’t like to eat meat, they still have to eat a few pieces for complete nutrition. Moreover, she stews it very soft so that it melts in the mouth, ensuring that the elderly will love it.

Although she had been busy in the kitchen for the entire morning, most of the time she was waiting for the food to be cooked, so she wasn't very busy, but it was really hot.

When Zhu Ruo placed the food in the hall, the empress dowager was leaning listlessly on the couch, feeling sad alone.

Even if her Yan'er was really a rebellious person, it was not her Han'er's job to deal with it.

Whether she was married off to a distant place or exiled, after all, she had raised the child for six years, so she would eventually save her life.

As she grows old, the company of her family is the most important thing to her.

She originally had no appetite for food, but her stomach protested: "Gurgle! Gurgle!"

Because of Jiang Wanyan's incident, she had not eaten last night and this morning. As the rich aroma of rice wafted into her nose, she couldn't help swallowing.

"Change the cook?"

With Zhu Ruo's support, she got off the bed and came to the dining table. Although there were not many dishes, each one was very delicately prepared. At first glance, it gave people a feeling of extreme care. Not only were the colors well matched, but the rich and fresh aroma made her feel like the worms in her stomach wanted to jump out.

She was the Queen Mother and had tasted all kinds of delicacies, but this was the first time she was attracted by such simple dishes.

She couldn't help but taste a small piece of pickled radish, which was so sour, sweet and crispy that she couldn't help but pick up a second piece.

I never expected that such an ordinary appetizer could be so delicious.

This is a jar of pickled radish that Chu Nanyue brought from their Chu family. She loves it, and so does King Yan. Thinking that it would take two or three days to pickle it, they simply brought a jar here to pass the time.

"To answer the Queen Mother, we are not changing the chef. Instead, Princess Yan personally cooked lunch for you. She has been busy in the kitchen for the entire morning." Zhu Ruo saw that the Queen Mother was quite satisfied with the food in front of her, so she leaned over and replied.

When she heard that it was Chu Nanyue who did it, the Queen Mother immediately put down her chopsticks and frowned, saying, "Let her in."

It was hot in the summer, and it was even hotter in the kitchen. When Chu Nanyue came in, there was still a little sweat on her forehead. She saw the mother-in-law sitting at the dining table. A light flashed across her eyebrows, and then she immediately knelt down with a loud "thump".

After hearing that voice, the Queen Mother and Zhu Ruo both lowered their eyes and looked at her.

"Granddaughter-in-law pays respect to the Queen Mother."

After the ceremony, she lowered her head and knelt quietly on the ground, as obedient as a bullied bride.

When Prince Yan, who had hurried in after a long journey, saw the pitiful appearance of his new wife, he felt distressed and angry at the same time.

"Princess Zhaoren was killed by my grandson. What is the meaning of your grandmother punishing Princess Yan in this way?"
