Now Beiye Hongyao just wants to recuperate her energy and wait to deal with the two people in the palace.
But I don’t want to see any chef show off his cooking skills at all.
"Princess Wantao is too polite. Just have a simple meal."
"How can that be done? Doesn't it mean that our country, Yunxiao, doesn't know how to treat guests? The third princess just sits there and tells the chef what kind of food she likes."
After Princess Wantao finished speaking, the imperial chef had already stepped forward to salute:
"The villain pays homage to Princess Wantao and the third princess of the Northern Barbarians."
Kitano Hongyao had no choice but to follow the local customs.
"I'm not picky about food, just do what you're good at."
"yes!"
The imperial chef responded and turned the knife three times between his fingers.
After Kitano Hongyao sat down, the maids served tea first.
But Kitano Hongyao had just drank a lot in Wuyuan Pavilion and had already quenched his thirst. He didn't want to drink tea at this time.
However, she was really hungry. She hoped that the chef could act more quickly so that she could finish her meal earlier and go back to the house to rest earlier.
The imperial chef picked up the knife, but instead of cutting the vegetables directly, he first made a series of knife skills and made some fancy performances.
"Okay! Okay! Third princess, what do you think of our royal chef's skills? Might it be comparable to your Northern Barbarian royal chefs?"
Kitano Hongyao tried his best to force out a smile. What could be better than a cook?
"Everyone has his own merits."
She said it casually, and Princess Wantao didn't find it boring, she was still excited to watch.
The imperial chef worked hard for a long time and finally cooked a small pot of soup, but filtered out all the ingredients.
Only two small bowls of soup were left. The maid brought them up and placed a bowl each in front of the two princesses.
Kitano Hongyao looked at the bowl of soup and the various meats that were taken away to make the soup. He really wanted to shout: Keep the meat!
"This is an appetizer soup. It tastes very fresh. Please give it a try, Princess Three."
Princess Wantao had already made a gesture of invitation, and Kitano Hongyao had no choice but to drink a few mouthfuls of the soup. Although it tasted good, she was not very hungry.
It was an appetizer, and the more I opened it, the hungrier I got. But she still had to praise it.
"It's really good."
The maids took down the bowls they had finished drinking from, and the imperial chef started carving again. It took a quarter of an hour to carve out a vegetable flower.
As beautiful as it is, you can't eat much.
The two princesses watched the royal chef's show, chatted, and ate. The lunch took a full two hours and was almost combined with the dinner.
Kitano Hongyao felt that she had spent all her life's good cultivation to prevent herself from having an urge.
"Princess Wantao, it's almost dark, so there's no need to prepare dinner. I want to have a rest early."
Princess Wantao was very talkative this time.
"As the third princess said, tomorrow I will order the kitchen to leave breakfast for the third princess. The third princess does not need to get up early, she must have a good rest."
Beiye Hongyao always felt that there was something wrong with Princess Wantao's enthusiasm, but could not explain it for the moment.
She walked back to Wuyuan Pavilion and fell down on the bed. She had never been so tired while riding a horse and shooting arrows.
The etiquette of Yunxiao Kingdom was really terrible, and it was more complicated than she knew.
In the middle of the night, Kitano Hongyao was sleeping soundly.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu, Gu Gu..."
This voice seemed to ring in her ears, causing her to wake up from her sleep and subconsciously asked:
"What's barking?"
After hearing her question, the maid immediately went into the inner room to serve her.
"Don't be afraid, princess, it should be an owl."
"Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
Beiye Hongyao listened attentively and realized that it was really an owl. She might have been too tired from the journey and was too tired to deal with Princess Wantao, so she was surprised by the owl.
She lay down again and tossed and turned for a while, just about to fall asleep.
"Coo, coo, coo." The owl seemed tireless.
Kitano Hongyao sat up a little irritably.
"Have someone drive that owl away!"
"Yes, princess."
After a lot of tossing, the world finally returned to peace, but only after Kitano Hongyao fell asleep.
She opened her eyes frantically and listened to the sounds of her guards flying over the walls in the courtyard.
"Assassin! Catch the assassin!"
Hearing this shout, Kitano Hongyao lost all sleep. She wrapped herself in her coat, opened the window a crack, and looked outside.
Who is the assassin trying to kill? Her or Princess Wantao?
The sound of swords clashing could be heard outside.
"Stop it, misunderstanding, I am the bodyguard of the third princess!"
Kitano Hongyao suddenly felt something was wrong and hurried out of the house.
"stop!"
"Bang!"
Before she finished speaking, a guard fell in front of her. Fortunately, she was quite agile and missed half a step and was not hit.
"Third Princess, are you injured?"
Her maid came out after her. Seeing this, she was so frightened that her three souls were gone.
Four figures came next. Beiye Hongyao took a step back warily, but the person who came came respectfully clasped his fist at her.
"Third Princess of the Northern Barbarians, this man is sneaking around in the middle of the night, performing Qing Kung Fu in our princess's mansion. I don't know what he wants to do. Do you know him?"
Kitano Hongyao looked at his own man who could no longer get up, and he didn't know whether he was more frightened or angry.
"He is a guard of my palace, but he is just chasing away a wild bird! Why do you need to be so heavy-handed?"
"Since the third princess said that she was driving away wild birds, the villain believed her. After all, spying on other people's mansions is not what a gentleman does. I believe that the third princess will never let the villain have such a misunderstanding again. The villain will resign."
"you!"
How dare several guards who were keeping vigil at night speak to her, a princess, like this! Beiye Hongyao's chest heaved.
But before she could have her attack, those people had already fled and disappeared.
The guard who fell to the ground clutched his chest and struggled to get up.
"Third Princess, my subordinate is having trouble doing things."
"Get off!"
Beiye Hongyao was filled with fear and anger and had nowhere to vent, so he had no choice but to take it out on his own bodyguards.
In this way, after struggling until the sky turned white, Kitano Hongyao fell asleep.
As you can imagine, she didn't want to do anything during the day except sleeping. She even skipped breakfast and lunch.
It wasn't until evening that she reluctantly got up and had dinner, and the day passed like this.
On the third day, when Kitano Hongyao opened his eyes again, it was already three o'clock in the sky.
She rubbed her somewhat groggy head, moved her aching body, and finally got up from the soft and comfortable bed.
She didn't expect that she would be so energetic after being overworked. She was a little annoyed at the time she wasted.
"Third Princess, our princess invites you to have lunch together."
She had just finished washing when Princess Wantao sent someone to invite her.
Kitano Hongyao still has lingering fears about the lunch the day before yesterday. It won’t be another lunch that lasts all afternoon, right?
As for Princess Wantao's guards, I don't know if they were ordered by her.
Thinking that she had to go for a while and check her voice, Kitano Hongyao changed her clothes and went with the maid.
But the first thing we saw was not lunch, but the theater troupe warming up!
"Third princess, come quickly. Let's finish lunch and listen to a play together."
Princess Wantao had already warmly welcomed her to sit down, as if nothing had happened between them.
