A row of soldiers stood neatly behind the deputy general, waiting for Nan Jingxing's orders.

"General Nan, do you have a mission to carry out?"

Jiang Xue recognized at a glance that this group of people were the Yulin cavalry who saved her and Xiao Zhan at the lantern festival last time.

Unless something big happens, the Yulin Cavalry will not be dispatched easily.

"Reporting to the princess, I am going to the South Gate to welcome Princess Qinwen of Qian Kingdom." Nan Jingxing replied.

When Princess Qinwen was mentioned, a cold light flashed in Jiang Xue's eyes, but there was no sign of strangeness on her face.

"From Qian Kingdom to Beiling, even if we travel non-stop, it will take a month to get there. Princess Qinwen's speed is really amazing."

It was so fast, Feng Qiyuan must have sent elite troops to escort them, so they had green lights and no obstructions all the way.

Moreover, before the people arrived outside Yujing City, Emperor Beiling had already sent a major general of the Yulin Cavalry to meet him in person.

Jiang Xue remembered that it took her more than a month to travel from Qian Kingdom to Bei Ling.

He encountered a lot of trouble on the way and finally arrived in Yujing. He was left outside the city gate by Emperor Beiling to suffer the cold wind all night before being led in through the side door by a little eunuch.

This was a stark contrast. It seemed that Emperor Bei Ling was deliberately trying to embarrass her and bring shame upon her.

Wu Meifeng, you see, before you even arrive, the atmosphere in Yujing City is already so tense that it cannot be resolved.

"It seems that Princess Qinwen is really highly regarded by King Yuan. Even before she arrived, the ceremony was already well underway."

Xiao Zhan chuckled twice, put his arm around Jiang Xue's shoulders, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

His name was Prince Yuan of Fengqi Yuanyuan, which was the title given to him by Emperor Feng during his reign.

Calling him that was equivalent to publicly announcing that he did not recognize Feng Qiyuan as the Emperor of Qian Kingdom at all. Of course, he was too lazy to pay attention to Princess Qinwen, who was personally conferred the title by Feng Qiyuan.

Jiang Xue smiled. This person could always detect her emotional changes at the first moment and then find ways to make her feel better.

This man is so good to her.

"Your Highness, it's getting late, Jingxing still has to go and be busy. Your Highness, please bear with me. I'll take my leave now."

Nan Jingxing bowed his head and saluted, then turned and left with the Yulin Cavalry. Looking at his figure getting farther and farther away, Lu Linyi showed a look of loss on his face.

He left again. Every time he finished talking about something important, he would leave without looking back.

Could he give her some response, even just once?

Jiang Xue saw her lost look and sighed softly.

Women who fall in love are really cut from the same cloth, all so stupid.

Thinking back to those days, I was also waiting for Jun Li so madly, and his every word and action could touch my heart.

I always looked at his back with a pitiful face, hoping to get a little response.

"Cousin, I've been particularly interested in making pastries recently. I heard that you're a first-rate cook. Could you teach me?"

In order to divert Lu Linyi's attention, Jiang Xue suggested learning how to make pastries from her.

Sure enough, when talking about his specialty, Lu Linyi became excited.

"Well, how about I teach you how to make the simplest plum cake?"

"Okay."

The two girls walked into the kitchen hand in hand.

Xiao Zhan looked at their backs, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he felt a little expectant.

What does the plum blossom cake made by Jiang Xue look like?

"boom!"

"Bang dong!"

In Prince Gong's Mansion, deafening noises were heard from the kitchen, and billowing black smoke rose straight into the sky.

Xiao Zhan was practicing calligraphy in the study, and he couldn't stop smiling as he listened to Qing Feng reporting again and again about the tragic scene of the explosion in the kitchen.

"Your Highness, you'd better go and take a look. If the princess continues to rage like this, our palace will have to pack up in Tingfeng Tower this month." The kitchen supervisor, Mrs. Chen, ran over with a sad face, her hands and face covered in coal dust from helping to clean up.

It seems that we have to stop Jiang Xue.

Xiao Zhan put down the brush and strode towards the kitchen.

As soon as I entered the kitchen yard, I saw nearly ten plates on the stone table, and each plate had five or six black cubes on it.

These things are arranged quite neatly, but they don't look like anything edible.

Even Qing Feng, who doesn't care about the appearance of the dishes, looked disgusted at these black things.

"Jiang Xue, turn off the fire, turn off the fire!" Lu Linyi's hurried voice came from the kitchen.

Phew!

The sound of the flame being extinguished was heard, followed by a burning smell.

"Failed again, try again!" Jiang Xue muttered. Although he didn't see her, from her voice, Xiao Zhan could imagine that she must have an unwilling expression on her face.

He knew this little woman's temper best. She couldn't stand failure and loved to compete with herself.

I don't allow myself to do anything wrong, and once there is a flaw, I will try my best to make it hard on myself.

It seems that if she is not stopped, the kitchen will be lost.

Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head. Under Chen Po's pitiful and pleading eyes, he walked to the plate of unidentified objects, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Hmm... this taste... is really hard to describe...

Although the crust was burnt, the filling inside was still raw.

And the taste of this filling is a bit weird, sweet and spicy...

Did this girl mix sugar and chili powder together?

"Your Highness!" Grandma Chen didn't expect that His Highness would dare to taste that plate of super scary-looking stuff, and she screamed in fright.

She just wanted His Highness to stop the princess from blowing up the kitchen, but she didn't want His Highness to risk his life!

"Yun Che, put it down!"

Granny Chen's shout successfully attracted Jiang Xue's attention. She went out and saw Xiao Zhan stuffing the second black plum cake into his mouth. Jiang Xue immediately rushed over, grabbed him, and snatched the cake from him.

Well, it’s out now.

Xiao Zhan winked at Grandma Chen, indicating her to go into the kitchen to clean up the mess.

Only then did Grandma Chen realize the purpose of His Highness eating that burnt thing.

He quickly took people into the kitchen, closed the door and cleaned.

Looking at the mess, the old lady swore that she would never let the princess set foot in the kitchen again!

"Xiaochun, take Miss Gu to wash up first." Xiao Zhan ordered.

Xiaochun took the order and took Lu Linyi, who was covered in coal dust, to the guest room to clean it.

"Why are you eating this?"

Xiao Zhan had already bitten half of the second piece of plum cake, and Jiang Xue saw that the filling was still raw.

She reached out and patted Xiao Zhan's arm, then worriedly took out a small pill and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from getting gastrointestinal discomfort from eating the half-cooked "charcoal".

"Of course, as your husband, I have to support what you do."

Looking at the speck of coal dust on the tip of her nose, Xiao Zhan found it particularly amusing and couldn't help but give her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Tieyi and others tactfully left the room, leaving the two with some space to themselves.

Jiang Xue, who was originally in a low mood due to her poor cooking skills, finally smiled after hearing his words.

"You just make me happy."

She tapped his arm with her little fist, her face full of smiles.
