"Yummy!" It was so hot that he kept exhaling. But he couldn't help complimenting.Then he looked at his wife guiltily. Qiu Yelan who was busy cooking on another stove didn't look back, "Got burned? It's your punishment for stealing food! Just this one more dish to be served. But you still couldn't wait! Drink some cold water!""It's because your cooking is so good!" Jiang Yashuang took the cold water from Su He and drank a mouthful. He felt his tongue was getting better. So, he approached Qiu Yelan and played up to her, "I'm here to help…"Qiu Yelan was staring at the pot with rapt attention. Hearing that, she said, "Good. Pass me the salt!""Here!" Jiang Yashuang picked up a porcelain bowl without hesitation and handed it to her. Qiu Yelan took it over and was about to put things inside into the pot. Su He shouted, "Wait!"Her voice was high and out of the blue. They were both scared and turned around at the same time

"Yelan, I am sorry about what happened yesterday!" He Shuijin said, saying sorry to her when walking into the Flower Hall.Qiu Yelan hurried to hold her arm, saying, "Shuijin, don't mention it! It's none of your business. It was Madame Dou Junior and Madame Miao who don't like me.""What you said hurts my feelings!" He Shuijin said with red eyes. She was almost crying. "I knew that Madame Dou Junior and Madame Miao don't like you. However, they did not mention the phoenix hairpin. It was obvious that they did not want to look into it! Actually, it was us who did not hold it very well, which made the conflict severer. We even did not attempt to help you out. But we fueled it! If Madame Shi, Madame Zhang and I had tried to appease it, Madame Tao Junior would not have been wronged. We know, you just got married. If we had handled it well, you would not have been scolded by parents."Qiu Yelan thought that you were pretending to be a good girl and

Empress Dowager Gu thought about it for a while, and then ordered, "As for this year's holiday for preventing sunstroke... Weizhou, you will take charge of it!"Prince of Zhou was stunned, "I..." Since it had been a custom to spend a holiday at a summer resort for the royal family and everyone was familiar with it, so according to common sense, it could be arranged according to the old routine, which was not difficult.However, he could imagine that the Empress would not let him pass the test by just following suit! Besides the days for preparation, the journey to Mount Dizi would take a few days, so it couldn't be accomplished in an action. It involved a wide range of manpower, departments and ware. It was not easy to do that!Seeing his hesitation, Empress Dowager Gu yelled angrily, "What are you afraid of? Since the Empress hears that you are going to take charge of the summer holiday, she will let the Seventh Prince show up! You think you'r

Fortunately, they cooked one more dish that day. Before the sea cucumber with minced meat which was due to avoiding Mrs. Zhou's nagging was served onto the plate, Jiang Yashuang showed himself at the door. He did not change into regular clothes and sneak into the kitchen for tasting the food as usual. Instead, he sent a servant with a word, "I invited Ou Bicheng. He missed his lunch today. Can we begin having lunch now?""Food is ready, but not enough." Jiang Yashuang got used to the food prepared by Qiu Yelan before they got married. After they got married, he often asked her to cook for him. As Qiu Yelan had nothing to do, she agreed with him. As usual, she only cooked one or two dishes for themselves as she did not want to make herself too tired. But now, there was a friend to entertain. Even he had been a friend of Jiang Yashuang since his childhood, it would be too low to serve one or two dishes for a friend.Luckily, Mrs. Li was also a good cook like

According to Madame Tao's order, she asked Su He to return to her room to tell Xin Fubing what the Madame said, while she led other people holding the rewards into the yard of Sheng Shishui.At this time, Madame Tao Junior was already inquiring after Sheng Shishui's health. Seeing her, she smiled and said, "The servants went to your yard to announce the good news just now, but you were not there. Did you hear the good news from the grandmother?" Then she glanced at the servants who were holding the gifts, feeling surprised, "You prepared the gifts in such a short time? I've thought I was fast enough!""Of course not." Qiu Yelan grinned and looked at Sheng Shishui who was forced to lie on the bed, "It was grandma who did that. I went for her just now, and then I helped her take the gifts here!"“Oh! I see." Madame Tao Junior took a tumble.At this time, Sheng Shishui thanked Qiu Yelan for her help and asked people to take over the g
