Some are happy and some are sad

Li Xiao has been alone since he was a child. He was bullied in the barracks and saw too much of the harsh world. Over time, he became more and more indifferent. He is used to being alone and doesn't care what others think.

Every time his comrades met to drink wine, he would not go, so rumors spread that he had a hidden health problem and was not close to women. He didn't explain it, he just acquiesced when others said it was his fault, and ended up in a clean state.

The sudden decree of marriage caused ripples in his ordinary life. Before that, he had never thought about getting married and having children. He just wanted to live a happy life alone.

But now the person she wants to marry is actually a princess. The imperial decree has granted her marriage, and she cannot refuse. He was saying thank you Lord for your kindness, but his mind was actually blank. He didn't know what to say. This feeling of losing control made him uncomfortable, but he had to face it.

You must meet the Ninth Princess alone as soon as possible and ask her what she thinks. Although we only met briefly today, the appearance of the Ninth Princess was deeply impressed in Li Xiao's mind. She was not shy like other women, but looked at him openly, gently and quietly, and said to him I won't embarrass him.

If she was just as gentle and demure as she seemed, how could she take the initiative to ask Emperor Yanyun for a decree and persuade Emperor Yanyun to grant a marriage? Why didn't the War King and Concubine Liu stop her? What kind of woman is this?

The more he thought about it, the more Li Xiao felt that the Ninth Princess was like a mystery. And he seemed to have entered a formation and couldn't get out no matter how hard he tried.

Yan Shu is very relaxed and contented here. She has solved a big problem and is in a particularly good mood. It was still early, so she went for a walk in the garden before coming back.

She happened to pass by the kitchen and saw Aunt Qin preparing dinner, and she couldn't help but want to try it herself.

"Ninth Princess, please go and have a rest. The kitchen is not a place for you. Be careful of getting burned." Aunt Qin said with concern like an old mother.

"It's okay Aunt Qin, I just want to try grilled fish." Yan Shu smiled, thinking of the grilled fish she had eaten in her previous life, and wanted to try it again.

"Grilled fish? Please teach Ninth Princess. I have never heard of it." Aunt Qin's face was full of shame.

"Grilling fish is very simple. Please help me prepare a pan, and then help me get the stove. Light a charcoal fire in the stove, then marinate the fish with various seasonings, spread oil in the pan, and put the fish in Just go up and grill it slowly." Yan Shu can only eat it, but she has never tried how to cook it, but she thought it wouldn't be too difficult to grill fish, so she told Aunt Qin what she was thinking.

Aunt Qin has been a chef for decades, and she knows everything. She immediately followed Yan Shu's instructions and made all the preparations, just waiting to see how the grilled fish would look like.

The fish is not big, so it bakes relatively quickly. Yan Shu then ordered Aunt Qin to prepare the side dishes. Take whatever is available and pour it into the pot to bake together.

As the fish meat is gradually cooked and mixed with various seasonings, the aroma spreads to every corner of Mingyue Palace, and can even be smelled in the alley outside Mingyue Palace. Everyone couldn't help but drool, wondering what delicious food the ninth princess was cooking.

Yan Yan asked Aunt Qin to observe it carefully. Once it is roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, it can be eaten. Aunt Qin knew that Princess Ninth wanted to teach her, so she studied very seriously.

Qingqing and Xia Cao came smelling the fragrance and swallowed countless times. The grilled fish was finally ready. Yan Shu happily asked them to come over and taste it together, and asked Aunt Qin to prepare a few larger fishes and cook them according to the method just now, so that everyone in Mingyue Palace could try them, just to test Aunt Qin's mastery.

On this night, everyone in Mingyue Palace felt unprecedented happiness, eating delicious food they had never tasted before, chatting and laughing together. Everyone is grateful to the Ninth Princess for her intelligence and kindness, and is glad that she has followed the right master, and there will be many good days ahead.
