Shu Ning followed Eunuch Wan to the kitchen of Prince Mu's mansion.

The kitchen of the royal palace is very grand. There are various ingredients on the table in the middle, facing south, and seven pots of different sizes are placed. Some are used to cook porridge and steam rice, some are used to stew soup and pancakes, and some are used to stir-fry and stew.

Shuning circled around the ingredients and was able to make the ingredients for King Mu's favorite Sandianbao.

Shu Ning likes to eat Huaiyang cuisine herself and can cook several Huaiyang delicacies, but today she does not plan to make Sandianbao. She has to keep Sandianbao as bait to sway King Mu's appetite.

Shu Ning also wants to thank King Mu for just being crowned king. His main energy is to gain a foothold in the capital. He has not had the leisure to find a Yangzhou chef to satisfy his desires. Otherwise, no matter how good Shu Ning's cooking skills are, King Mu, who has a Yangzhou chef, would not give her this opportunity.

After washing his hands, Shuning scooped the noodles into the basin, sprinkled some salt, and started kneading the noodles.

Today she is going to make two common Yangzhou snacks, scallion pancakes, and bamboo shoot meat wontons.

The royal mansion’s noodles are white and the quality is not worse than that of modern flour. After kneading, it is put aside to wake up. During this period, Shu Ning went to prepare the fillings.

The scallion oil pancake is mainly made of chopped scallions and mixed with ghee. The filling of the bamboo shoots and wontons is made of minced pork and tender bamboo shoots.

Under the view of the chefs from all over the palace, Shu Ning picked up a piece of pork belly and cut it with a kitchen knife.

A quiet person is very serious in everything. Shu Ning cannot speak, but instead achieves her excellent concentration. Once she calms down and does things, Shu Ning can do it well, whether it is painting or cooking. Although her knife skills are not as good as a professional chef, her current identity is an official lady. Her white and tender little hands are not surprising to play the piano and paint. When she is extremely skillful in cutting meat and bamboo shoots and cuts so well, the onlookers nodded secretly.

For the chefs, the two things Shuning made were nothing strange, but the strange thing was that she could do this.

When she was ready, Shuning first baked five scallion oil pancakes, the size of a bowl of scallion oil pancakes. Each piece was only as thick as a teacup wall. Both sides were slightly golden and green scallion flowers were dotted in the middle. A faint salty aroma came to her face. In fact, scallion oil pancakes are available everywhere and the methods are different. Shuning's scallion oil pancakes are based on her taste, and their parents and brothers also like to eat them.

The cakes were ready, and the bamboo shoots, meat wontons were put into the pot.

The small wontons in the soup, boiled the boiling water and then floated up quickly. A thin layer of skin wrapped around the full filling. Sprinkle sesame oil, chopped green onion, seaweed and salt before leaving the pot. Shuning also prepared two small plates, one plate of vinegar and one plate of beef sauce privately prepared by the chef of the royal palace, and you can use it as soon as possible.

Although it was just two snacks, Shu Ning was busy in the kitchen for nearly an hour because the noodles were refreshed.

She left with a tray, and the chefs of the royal palace immediately seized the time to prepare the prince's lunch.

King Mu was still in the study, and the old emperor arranged two gentlemen for him and took turns to make up for the various lessons that the princes should have taken from childhood to adulthood.

Shu Ning stood respectfully outside the door, waiting for Eunuch Wan to pass on the news.

King Mu was already impatient to hear it and took the opportunity to let the teacher rest, and he came to the small hall in the middle.

Eunuch Wan led Shu Ning in together.

King Mu's eyes fell on the tray in Shuning's hand.

Shu Ning bowed nervously and explained respectfully: "Prince, these are the two snacks that folk girls often make, scallion pancakes, bamboo shoots and meat wontons. I wonder if it will match the prince's appetite."

King Mu recognized these two.

Before the accident happened at his adoptive father's house, he often ate these things. Because he ate frequently, he felt that it was nothing special and even didn't like it. When something happened at home, the little copper he earned at the dock could not even support his daily filling, the wontons and cakes sold by small stalls on the street suddenly became a delicacy that he wanted to eat but couldn't afford.

Before entering Beijing, he was a prisoner imprisoned in a death row.

After the imperial edict was issued, local officials rushed to flatter him and invited him to eat big fish and meat. He ate whatever the people prepared without any request. Later, he was escorted to the capital by officers and soldiers. His status was high, but he was still looked down upon by some people. In the past few days, King Mu has been familiar with the people and affairs of the capital, and has not yet considered his desire to speak.

Now, just two Yangzhou snacks are just a few, and he has to suppress his urge to swallow his saliva.

"Prince, do you want to try it?" Eunuch Wan asked in a look of expression.

King Mu nodded lightly.

Eunuch Wan personally put the tray in front of the prince.

Chen Mu picked up a piece of scallion oil pancake with chopsticks, and took a bite of it, it was thin and crispy. He would like it even more salty.

He also scooped one of the wontons. The skin was thin but strong, and the filling was full but not greasy, but the taste was still a little light.

King Mu was not very satisfied, and this kind of emotion appeared on his face.

Shu Ning started sweating again behind her back and said stutteringly: "Prince, actually, what I am best at is Sand Bun, but steaming the buns takes a long time, and I didn't make them just now."

King Mu said coldly: "Go and do it now."

When Shu Ning heard this, she immediately stepped down and went back to the kitchen to show off her skills.

Eunuch Wan looked at the two foods on the table and tentatively said, "Then, I will take this down?"

King Mu looked at him coldly again: "Go out."

Eunuch Wan decisively retreated and brought it to the door.

After waiting silently for a quarter of an hour outside the door, the master's order came from inside: "Come in and pack up."

Eunuch Wan bent down and pushed open the door. When he looked up, he saw that the prince had already returned to the study room, the tray on the red sandalwood table...

The tray is still there, and the dishes are also there, but the five pieces of scallion oil pancakes and a bowl of bamboo shoots and meat wontons are gone. Even the soup is drunk, leaving only a few pieces of green scallion at the bottom of the bowl!

Eunuch Wan was shocked!

He has been here to serve the prince for five days. It was the first time he saw that the prince had such a good appetite!

Eating and drinking seem to be no big deal, but it is a daily errand. Three meals a day, and the kitchen food is delicious. The prince is in a good mood and is unpalatable. If the prince is in a bad mood, then those who serve them will be frightened. They are shocked in the morning, in the morning, and in the afternoon, who can bear it?

It turns out that the prince likes to eat Yangzhou cuisine!

Eunuch Wan confiscated the things and handed them to the eunuch to the kitchen. He called his godson Xiaoluzi and asked Xiaoluzi to go to major restaurants in Beijing to pick a chef who can cook Yangzhou cuisine. The more authentic the product, the better the food.

Xiao Luzi took on the heavy responsibility to find the chef, and the eunuch returned the empty bowl to the kitchen.

When the chef saw it, they all exclaimed.

Although Shu Ning, who was kneading dough and preparing to steam buns, did not come over, she heard it and then thought of the plot in the original work.

That part was not for the word count of water. His ruthless and ruthless Prince Mu was really arrogant. He obviously liked to eat and insisted on not caring about what he wanted to eat, but other things could be hidden. After eating them all, it would be too easy to reveal the filling.

After being recognized by King Mu, Shu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. After performing the next three-die bag, King Mu would feel better if he eats it well. Once he is in a good mood, his hatred for the Song family will be reduced a little.

As soon as noon arrived, the teacher went to the guest room to rest, and His Highness Mu also walked out of the study.

"Prince, are you having meals now?" Eunuch Wan asked with a smile.

King Mu looked at him: "Have the buns been steamed?"

Eunuch Wan understood. The prince wanted to eat Miss Song’s buns this afternoon, and the food cooked by the chefs was not considered lunch.

"Back to the prince, the buns are not yet ready. Miss Song is very particular about making stuffing and ingredients. She has to use hens for the next year, fresh spring bamboo shoots and ribs. The last two are available in our kitchen. The hens must be purchased the next year, so they can't be eaten for a while. Should the prince eat something else to cushion your belly first?"

Although King Mu likes to eat Sandianbao, it was the first time he heard that there were so many things to do with stuffing. When he was a child, he cooked for his mother and the chef. He just ate it and never asked how to make it.

"No, the buns are cooked, bring people here just now."

After leaving this sentence, King Mu went to the main room.

He was not hungry, Shu Ning was hungry, and he prepared all the fillings and stuffed ingredients and finally steamed the buns. Shu Ning ate the food assigned by the chef of the royal palace while watching the chef add to the fire. She used gas stoves in modern times, and she had never made firewood. Fortunately, the chef knew the heat very well. When Shu Ning pretended to be hungry and had no strength, the enthusiastic chef took the initiative to take on the job of steaming buns.

When Shuning was full, the buns were steamed, and before the lid was opened, the rich filling fragrance wafted out.

The chef who specializes in pastry sniffed and muttered in a low voice: "The stuffed buns are quite fragrant."

Unfortunately, Miss Song only steamed five of them, and she was destined to be without them.

Putting the small steamer on the tray, Shuning once again stepped out of the kitchen with the tray.

This time, Eunuch Wan took her to the main house.

The so-called main house is where His Highness Mu usually rests and entertains his confidants.

"Prince, Miss Song is here to send you three-die bags."

"Enter."

Eunuch Wan understood it and let Shu Ning go in by himself.

The man's voice came from Dongjima. Shu Ning came to the door of Jima, said hello first, got permission, and then held the tray in one hand and opened the curtain with the other.

The next time, a long couch was set up at the window, which looked like a common kang in the old age, and was even more delicate and noble. At this time, His Highness Mu was lying on the side of the couch, and his slender figure almost occupied the entire outer edge of the couch. He held his head with one hand and played with the jade pendant at his waist with the other. His narrow phoenix eyes were closed lightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Shu Ning looked at it and immediately lowered her head respectfully, stood up facing King Mu, and handed over the tray in her hand: "Prince, the three-Ding bag is ready."

King Mu then raised his eyes and saw the drawer in the tray. He frowned and said, "Open."

Shu Ning quickly uncovered the drawer lid.

The heat rises, with a scent of tempting aroma. Five babies' fist-sized buns were scattered around it. The dough is white and moist, and twelve folds are evenly pinched out. The tips of the buns are natural, and the color of the small buns is touching, which shows the chef's skills.

King Mu glanced at her hand holding the tray again. Perhaps only such beautiful hands could make such exquisite buns.

"Is it hot?"

King Mu wanted to eat it.

Shu Ning nodded: "Maybe it needs to be hung for a while."

King Mu nodded, his long eyelashes drooped, and he was left hanging.

Shu Ning didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only stand still with a tray. After standing for a long time, she secretly looked at the room, which was antique and all the utensils were new.

"Since you know how to apologize, why didn't your father and the others come?" King Mu suddenly asked.

Shu Ning looked forward in frightened and found that King Mu was still sleeping. She swallowed and explained: "My father, my mother, and my brother and younger brother are all afraid of the prince and dare not come."

King Mu raised his lips, raised his eyes, looked at her and asked, "So, aren't you afraid of me?"

Shu Ning shook her head and said to the ground: "The young ladies are also afraid, but they are wrong. The young ladies' family owed the prince an apology."

King Mu sneered: "I am the prince, so you remember that you owe me. If I am still in prison, will you still remember that you once had a fiancé?"

Shu Ning's arms began to tremble, and her blue sleeves also shook slightly: "Do you want to listen to the truth?"

"explain."

Shu Ning recalled Miss Song Er's performance and said truthfully: "Although I had a engagement with the prince, I have never met the prince. In my heart, the prince is just a fiancé of a good match. Back then, the prince changed his family and fell into a land where he had to work hard. Naturally, I didn't want to marry the prince. After I went to Beijing with my father, I never thought of the prince. It is very likely that he didn't even know that the prince was imprisoned."

King Mu gradually clenched his hands playing with the jade pendant.

Shu Ning continued: "But if you live in a different place, the prince's future will be bright. The girl suddenly lost her parents. She went from being a slim official lady to a street singer and showed up every day. In that case, the prince's father is willing to continue to fulfill the engagement between our two families? Will the prince want to marry a woman like me?"

King Mu didn't say anything.

Shu Ning looked at him quickly, suddenly smiled, and said with a clear look: "If the prince died unjustly in prison, it would be fine if the girl in the civilians didn't know. After knowing, she would definitely feel sorry for the prince, and perhaps she would reflect on her sins. Fortunately, the prince is auspicious and heavenly person, and once she goes to Beijing to be the king. The girl in the civilians is just vain and has not a bad heart. The girl in the civilians would rather come to the royal palace to apologize, than to hear the bad news about the prince many years later."

"Sweet words, if I die, you will only remarry the children of the Gao family happily." King Mu sat up, looked at her with a cold and dark eyes and said, "Maybe, you would like to die now, so that your family will be scared."

Shu Ning immediately knelt down: "Men's girls dare not."
