Shen Munan looked at the black coffee brought out by Gu Yunyao.

It's dark, and I don't want to drink it when I look at it, but it does have a special aroma when I smell it.

"What's this?"

"This is my homemade tea," Gu Yunyao blinked, her eyes clear, "Would you like it, Your Majesty?"

Shen Munan picked up the tea cup, and the aroma became stronger as it was warm. It smelled really good, and was different from anything he had tasted before.

He lowered his eyes and took a slow sip.

A bitter taste ran rampant in the mouth, but after the bitterness passed, it had a mellow taste.

not bad.

Gu Yunyao pursed her lips and smiled, expecting to see him make a fool of himself.

Unexpectedly, I saw him finish the drink bit by bit and put down the cup: "My craftsmanship is a bit poor, just so-so."

"Don't you feel bitter, Your Majesty?"

"Fortunately, it's nothing compared to the decoction I drank before."

Gu Yunyao: "..."

Why do you feel a little guilty for no reason?

"Then, Your Majesty, try this snack again, it's newly made in the house."

Shen Munan glanced at it with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

But he still picked up a piece and tasted it slowly: "It's hard, dry, sweet and cloying, the filling is rough, and it's of inferior quality."

Gu Yunyao rolled her eyes silently.

Shen Munan took out a paper bag and handed it to her: "Try what I brought here."

Gu Yunyao was surprised. She opened the paper bag and found four snacks of different shapes neatly arranged inside.

Just by looking at it, Gu Yunyao was convinced: it was indeed much better than the few pieces she took out.

She couldn't help but try it. The taste was soft, glutinous and sweet, just right. Although she hadn't eaten the one Hui'er got today, she was already sure that Shen Munan's was more than superior.

"How?" Shen Munan asked.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Gu Yunyao felt that there was expectation in his eyes.

"It's very delicious, much better than this one I had," Gu Yunyao praised without hesitation.

Shen Munan snorted: "That's natural."

Seeing his arrogant attitude, Gu Yunyao felt a damn desire to win again.

"My lord, you have a distinguished status. Naturally, you have eaten a lot of delicate things like this, and I think they are not very rare. But these are not the most delicious things in the world."

Shen Munan raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for her to continue.

“The most delicious foods are those that have not gone through too many processes, but instead bring out the flavor of the food itself.

It's a coincidence, I happen to be doing something else, but it's late today, so if the prince doesn't mind, I'll come back tomorrow night."

"I haven't had dinner tonight, just today, now."

Gu Yunyao: "..."

Why are you trying to act like a domineering president?

"My bodyguard, Qiu Feng, is suffering from an acute illness. I am not in the mood to eat. I haven't eaten much all day. He felt better in the evening, and I am now in a good mood."

"Emergency? What emergency?" Gu Yunyao was curious.

Shen Munan smiled slowly and looked at her: "He wears a big scarf and inhales hair balls. He usually can't eat spicy food, but he swallowed a bowl of chili water. His mouth swelled and his throat lost his voice. It will take at least ten days to heal. Talk again."

"Pfft," Gu Yunyao couldn't help laughing, and pressed her lips tightly together.

Shen Munan looked at him coldly, while Gu Yunyao turned away, covering her face and twitching her shoulders.

"Then now he..."

"It's nothing now, I'm just waiting for my voice to recover," Shen Munan said in a probing tone, "I just feel strange that Qiu Feng has a bad mind. I know this, but I'm not stupid enough to do this. Miss Gu, What do you think is going on?"

Gu Yunyao said seriously: "I think his skills are very good, maybe it's some new technique, right?"

Shen Munan gave a short laugh: "I have never heard that wearing a scarf can improve your skills."

Gu Yunyao changed the topic: "Since the prince didn't have dinner, how about I cook something for the prince? However, I don't have much ingredients here. I have to find them now. Can you go with the prince?"

Shen Munan wanted to know what she was planning, so he readily agreed.

Gu Yunyao took him out of the hospital quietly, walked around the house, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard.

Shen Munan was keenly aware of the different smell: "What kind of place is this?"

Gu Yunyao pointed to the yard: "Chicken coop."

Shen Munan was confused: "Chicken coop? What are you doing here?"

"Steal the chicken."

Shen Munan's pupils were shaken.

Gu Yunyao walked into the yard lightly, and Shen Munan was shocked to see her skillful movements. She also took out a copper cicada and successfully stole two chickens.

"Walk!"

Gu Yunyao did not return to his residence, but left the house through the back door.

In the moonlight, I saw a stone placed under the tree.

She pushed the chicken in her hand to Shen Munan: "Help me take it."

Shen Munan: "..."

Gu Yunyao removed the stone, opened the tree hole, and took out a small bamboo tube from inside.

"Walk."

"Where to go?" Shen Munan held the chicken with two fingers.

"Cook the chicken, I know a place."

Gu Yunyao took him all the way to the courtyard where Gu Shaotai raised his wife.

When she visited it that day, she noticed that it was indeed hidden here, and there was a small abandoned courtyard nearby.

"Where is this? You let me eat here?" Shen Munan looked in disbelief.

Gu Yunyao took the chicken over and handled it skillfully: "There are hills and valleys in my chest, and there are mountains and rivers everywhere. Reality is not enough. I have to imagine it. My lord, you have to learn to enjoy hardships."

Shen Munan was silent for a moment: "You are quite good at comforting yourself."

"Of course, one day is full of hardships and one day is happy, so why bother with yourself."

Gu Yunyao was busy with her hands. Shen Munan had never seen this kind of practice before and was unconsciously attracted by her movements.

"Is this okay for you? It won't be poisonous, right?"

"My life is precious, please don't poison me to death."

"That's enough? Why do we have to make mud?"

…

Gu Yunyao took a deep breath and pointed at the starry sky above her head: "My lord, please count, how many stars are there in this area?"

Shen Munan raised his head.

Gu Yunyao quickly took the opportunity to continue working.

It's pretty quiet.

Within a few seconds, Shen Munan said: "Thirteen thousand six hundred and twenty."

Gu Yunyao: "..."

"real or fake?"

"If you don't believe me, just count."

Gu Yunyao turned around in anger and did not see the smile flashing in Shen Munan's eyes.

Oh, you still want to trick him into counting stars? These are all leftovers from his fun.

"Ok?"

"Soon."

"Ok?"

"Not yet?"

Gu Yunyao couldn't bear it any longer, turned around and took out two cupcakes from the Chaos Ring: "If you are hungry, just put a cushion on it first."

Shen Munan lowered his head and looked at the cake in his arms. It was beautiful in color and attractive in aroma.

"What's this?"

"dessert."

Shen Munan looked at the two exquisite cakes: "Didn't you just say that wild boars can't eat fine chaff? Why are you still hiding these?"

Gu Yunyao's eyes widened: "!! When did I say such a thing?"

"You said that there is no need for too much cooking and you can just eat the food itself. Isn't that what you mean?"

Gu Yunyao laughed angrily: "Ha!"
