The dignified third prince was actually treated as a plate waiter?
"Stop being so annoying, just do it when I ask you to do it!"
Ying Cailan urged: "Let me tell you, the food prepared by others tastes exquisite, but it is boring, right? Many times, the fun comes from doing it yourself! You participated, Only then can you have a sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, you will just sit back and enjoy the success. What’s the fun?”
Yan Ji thought about it, and it seemed right.
Turning around, he saw that the dignified and virtuous former eldest princess was bringing her own maid to serve the food.
He immediately regained his mental balance, listened to Ying Cailan's words honestly, carried the plate of winter melon slices, and followed the others to the dining hall.
Entering the dining hall, Ying Cailan directed everyone to work.
Put whatever dish you want and work in full swing.
Not long after, Yan Peiyu came in first.
Seeing that Yan Ji was still there, he smiled.
Looking at Ying Cailan again, he saw his daughter-in-law blinking her left eye at him.
Quirky and super cute.
He realized it.
His Lanlan is helping him!
No matter what the Third Prince's Party wants to do, the Third Prince, as their leader, has been roped in by them, so those people can only be hungry and want to eat shit!
It is said that when people unite, the mountains will move.
The three princes' party is on different paths, is it still possible for it to succeed?
"The Third Highness is still here." Yan Peiyu walked over and patted Yan Ji on the shoulder.
Yan Ji saw that he was still a little angry and let out a "hum".
But he didn’t leave after all.
Tempers come and go quickly.
Mainly, I was attracted by the novel way of eating in front of me.
Not long after, Prince Kang and his wife also arrived.
There are also a bunch of concubine children arriving one after another.
Seeing this battle, Yan Huaigu was a little surprised: "What kind of tricks is the Crown Princess doing? Everyone is so lively."
"Oh, in order to celebrate the prince's recovery from his injury, I plan to show you a new way to eat!" Ying Cailan said with a smile: "Eating hot pot requires a large number of people to make it lively! It will definitely be boring if only one or two people eat it!"
Wu Manqing was originally in a bad mood when she saw the bunch of concubine children.
But she's not so petty that she can't tolerate them.
Seeing that Ying Cailan was happy, she smiled and said, "Let me see what good idea Cailan has."
Then, I saw a long table set up in the dining hall.
Seven or eight square tables were put together to form a row. In front of each table was a strange pot with red soup on one side and white soup on the other.
Wu Manqing asked curiously: "What kind of pot is this?"
"This is called Yuanyang Hot Pot!" Ying Cailan naturally introduced it to her enthusiastically: "The spicy flavor here is for people who like spicy food and can tolerate spicy food. The mushroom and bone soup over there is Catering for people who can’t eat spicy food and the list of flavors.”
Then, he took everyone to sit down.
Royal lintel, rules are engraved in the bones.
The elders and younger ones are arranged in an orderly manner, with clear distinction between subject and object.
Ying Cailan arranged for Prince Kang and his wife to sit at the main seat of the long table, then she and Yan Peiyu sat on one side, while Yan Ji and Chang Qiuyue sat on the other side.
Chang Qiuyue brought her three daughters.
The other concubine children of Prince Kang were arranged according to their age.
"We are eating as members of our own family today, so we don't have to follow so many rules. We just want to have fun!" Ying Cailan was annoyed that men and women were not seated at the same table.
Haven't you heard that men and women can work together without getting tired?
Prince Kang, who had known her style for a long time, didn't mind it at all: "The Crown Princess likes to be lively, which is good."
Over the years, although Wu Manqing did not treat his concubines harshly.
But of course there is no preferential treatment.
The distinction between concubines and concubines in Prince Kang's mansion is particularly obvious.
Except for holidays, the concubines were never allowed to eat at the same table as them.
But Ying Cailan called everyone on board and gave him more face as a father-in-law!
Not to mention, this daughter-in-law whom I got married by accident is really a wonderful person!
Wu Manqing glanced at him, how could she not know what he was thinking.
But the atmosphere was pretty good today, so she didn't say anything.
Ying Cailan stood up and said, "This thing is called hot pot!"
"There are many ways to eat hot pot, but one thing in common is that everyone eats from the same pot."
“It’s also a great opportunity to bond!”
"It's not like we're a family, we don't go into the same house; we're not like we're not a family, we don't eat the same pot of food!"
"right?"
However, royal etiquette does not like to eat other people's saliva!
Everyone looked at each other.
Naturally, Yan Peiyu had to support her own imperial concubine: "The imperial concubine is right! Just like this hot pot, we have never had it in the past, why don't we have it today?"
Others naturally agreed.
Sitting among them, Yan Ji suddenly understood why Yan Peiyu was so sure that Ying Cailan was someone who would never provoke others if they didn't mess with her.
It seems to be true!
Yan Peiyu was not very close to her younger siblings, but she brought them all to have dinner together.
And treat him, his cousin, Chang Qiuyue, and his divorced cousin as a family?
Gee, that sounds interesting!
"I'll teach you how to eat first!"
Ying Cailan spoke again.
She picked up the special long chopsticks for hot pot, picked up her favorite dishes, put them into the spicy pot with thick soup, and said: "Everyone can choose the dishes you like and put them in. Once they are cooked, pick them up and you can eat them." !”
“Whatever you like to eat, put it in!”
"Here, there are also dipping sauces. You can add whatever dipping sauce you like."
“Eating hot pot is not only exciting, but also fun!”
"Everyone, get excited!"
She used her chopsticks first and gave Yan Peiyu slices of beef and mutton from the bone soup.
This move made my father-in-law and mother-in-law feel particularly happy——
Look, how nice my daughter-in-law is to my son?
In fact, when the two of them ate in private, it was Yan Peiyu who served Ying Cailan the dishes!
Whatever the occasion, do whatever you do, you have high emotional intelligence!
Yan Peiyu had an opinion: "Why was the soup given to me white and yours was red soup?"
"I can eat spicy food, can you?" Ying Cailan said plausibly: "Your Majesty, you don't need me to remind you that your illness is not completely healed yet, and your injury is just healed!"
Yan Peiyu: "..."
Can't resist.
Yan Huaigu laughed, turned around and asked, "Princess, do you want something spicy or not?"
Not to mention, Prince Kang only learned to love his wife as he got older, and he was quite irritating when he was young.
Now he actually knows how to take care of the princess's meals.
"If it's not spicy, I can just dip it in the sauce myself." Wu Manqing glanced at him, turned around and said, "Don't just watch, everyone should eat like Cai Lan. No need to tell any rules, Cai Lan You’re right, we are all a family and should share the same pot of food!”
With her words, everyone raised their chopsticks.
After one meal, you will feel cohesive!
And Chang Qiuyue was also very emotional: Ying Cailan is really a strange person!
As for Yan Ji——
All he cared about was eating, eating, eating!
Not only did he eat, he also shopped, ate, shopped, and ate!
Because when some of his favorite dishes were finished, he ran to other people’s tables to grab them!
At this time, how could the third prince still remember why Concubine Lu was so angry that he was almost half dead?
After the meal, Chang Qiuyue and Yan Ji left.
Back in the Jiangjiayuan house, Yan Peiyu hugged Ying Cailan.
"My Lanlan, how come you are so smart! What do you call this? You can fight without a single blow!"
