Chapter 94 Doubts
"I heard that the Crown Prince's Consort is a famous talented woman in the capital, and she has always liked simple and elegant styles. I never thought that when I met her today, I felt that she was a little different from what I heard."

Xu Qiuyue expressed her doubts to Zhu Xing'er.

"My cousin's wife has only been in the capital for a few days, but she has already known the talent of the Crown Prince's Consort. I didn't expect that this gentle woman would praise me so highly."

Zhu Xing'er was obviously very angry and directly said Xu Chunhua's real name.

Zhu Xing'er can also buy manuscripts, but she doesn't dare to praise herself so highly.

What if someone asks you to compose a poem on the spot during a banquet?

No wonder Wenrou never liked to attend parties hosted by people like them before.

In the past, I thought she was self-righteous and disdained to communicate with ordinary people like them.

Now, Zhu Xing'er understood that Wenrou was afraid of being exposed.

But today, she no longer needs to be afraid of gentleness.

So many people have seen Wen Rou's embarrassing appearance today. Wen Qing, the second daughter of the Wen family, is also eyeing the position of Crown Prince's Consort!
It is said that Xuan Yi was almost going to marry Wen Qing, but Wen Rou suddenly recovered from her illness and married Xuan Yi.

However, Zhu Xing'er could imagine that after today, Wenrou's status in the Prince's Mansion would definitely plummet.

Xu Qiuyue noticed Zhu Xing'er's expression, but she didn't say anything.

Xu Qiuyue is not stupid. Zhu Xing'er certainly did not have much good intention when she took her to the Prince's Mansion to attend the flower-viewing banquet.

Xu Qiuyue just gently stroked the golden hairpin in her hand.

Xu Chunhua was indeed still alive.

If the Crown Princess was not Xu Chunhua, no one would care about her at all.

But her way is different from Xu Chunhua's.

Whether alive or dead, it has nothing to do with her.

As long as Xu Chunhua doesn't come to find her, it's her ability to live better than her.

Xu Qiuyue no longer wants to have anything to do with Xu Chunhua in this life.

In her previous life, she had taken great pains to help Xu Chunhua, but she did not get anything good in return. Instead, she was met with endless resentment from Xu Chunhua, and even Xu's mother began to hate Xu Qiuyue.

Xu Qiuyue didn't want to have anything to do with Xu Chunhua anymore because she couldn't understand Xu Chunhua's thinking.

However, Xu Qiuyue still planned to take this hairpin back.

If it was lost, Xu Chunhua would be unhappy again, thinking that she looked down on her.

Xu Qiuyue was still unwilling to take action against Xu Chunhua. Although she would not help Xu Chunhua, she still had some feelings for her after all, and she did not want to take action against Xu Chunhua herself.

Along the way, Zhu Xing'er was obviously not in a very good mood.

She and Xu Qiuyue were not particularly familiar with each other, so there were some things she could not tell Xu Qiuyue.

But she felt particularly uncomfortable keeping these words in her heart.

So after Zhu Xing'er sent Xu Qiuyue back, she didn't say much to Xu Qiuyue, but hurried back home. She told her mother what she had seen and heard today, as well as the anger she had suffered today. She couldn't help but get it off her chest.

When Xu Qiuyue returned to the Lu Mansion, she found that there was an extra pot in her small kitchen. Upon closer inspection, she found that both pots had been replaced with new ones.

Xu Qiuyue touched the iron pot and found that the material of the iron pot was extraordinary and there were patterns carved on the pot body.

Does a frying pan really need to be so fancy?

Xu Qiuyue couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan didn't go too far and didn't make any complicated designs on the bottom of the pot. Otherwise, the thickness of the pot would be different, and the heating would be uneven, so the taste of the food would definitely be a little different.

Now that she has a new pot, Xu Qiuyue plans to make some new dishes.

After all, I’m tired of eating fried pork with peppers every day.

Vegetables still need to be eaten. Instead of stir-frying vegetables, let's cook some vegetable soup! Xu Qiuyue made a plum pork knuckle and an osmanthus fish, three dishes. There were not many dishes, but the portions were quite filling.

Lu Yuan used to complain, but he found out that Xu Qiuyue just asked the chef to make a few more dishes to make up the number, so he gradually stopped complaining and just ate whatever was cooked.

He has his own mouth, so if he wants to eat something, he can tell the chef himself and he will make it taste better.

"What good thing happened today? I'm so happy that I made such a delicious dish."

Lu Yuan looked at the steamed fish on the table. There was a strong aroma of osmanthus on it. The osmanthus flowers fell on the fish, making it look particularly beautiful.

The key is that this fish is particularly big, weighing about seven or eight kilograms.

He couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

Fragrant!
fresh!
The fish meat tastes great, without any fishy smell, and it has no bones. It also has a light osmanthus fragrance.

I didn’t expect that osmanthus can be used for cooking.

Especially when paired with fish, it is so delicious.

"It's not dipped in sauce yet! It tastes better with sauce. You got a new pot today, so you have to cook a few dishes to see if the new pot works well."

As Xu Qiuyue spoke, she placed a dish of sauce in front of Lu Yuan.

"Hahaha! This pot is useful, right? Otherwise, how could the fish taste so good? I don't need any sauce, I just like to eat the original flavor of the steamed fish."

Lu Yuan actually doesn't like steamed food.

But Xu Qiuyue did it today, and he had no choice.

Especially the steamed fish. If the fish meat hadn’t been so fragrant, Lu Yuan wouldn’t have picked up his chopsticks because he couldn’t control himself.

Lu Yuan generally doesn't like to eat fish because fish meat always has a fishy smell, which he doesn't like.

But the fish cooked by Xu Qiuyue had no fishy smell at all and was especially delicious.

The steamed fish is a must.

Lu Yuan said he didn't need any sauce, but after eating a few bites, he still used the sauce.

The fish is delicious, and the vegetable soup is also tasty. There are chopped pieces of meat in it, which makes the vegetables more delicious.

Pork knuckle with preserved plums. Lu Yuan had never eaten this kind of dish before. Preserved plums are usually desserts or sweet snacks. No one uses them to cook.

Lu Yuan didn't expect that this combination tasted so good.

The pig's trotter is cooked to be crystal clear, red, shiny and trembling, and tastes sour and sweet. It should be eaten while hot. The first bite is the skin, and then you can gently cut it down with your teeth. The bottom layer is fat, which is absolutely fat but not greasy. The next layer is lean meat, which melts in your mouth. There is another layer of fat below, and then another layer of lean meat. The layers are clear, but there are no sharp edges.

This tastes great.

It turns out that Xu Qiuyue can cook other dishes besides fried pork with peppers.

Then there is the vegetable soup.

When you get tired of eating meat, drinking a bowl of vegetable soup is especially helpful in removing the greasiness.

"If you can't finish it, that's okay, we can have the leftovers tomorrow morning."

Xu Qiuyue felt that the fish was a bit too big. One fish was actually enough for her to eat, and she might not be able to finish it.

She made pig's trotters mainly because she was worried that Lu Yuan might not like eating fish.

"I am studying every day, which consumes a lot of energy. This little food is not enough for me."

Lu Yuan said in a very heroic manner.

His cultivation has made a breakthrough, and he is no longer the same person as before.
