After the mutton and radish soup was stewed on the stove, Yu Youyao marinated the mutton spine and mutton ribs. Then, she made a few more types of snacks that Yin Huaixi liked.
“Get me some pine nuts.” When she was almost done, Yu Youyao suddenly looked up. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, she turned around and instructed, “His Highness should be back soon. Go and set up the oven. Prepare some mushrooms and vegetables…”
She stopped abruptly.
At some point, the servants in the kitchen had already left. Yin Huaixi stood beside her, still holding a half bowl of peeled pine nuts.
She had asked for it just now.
The pine nut cakes had just been made. She still needed to crush pine nuts and sprinkle a layer of pine nut fragments on the outside. She was too focused to notice that someone had changed hands beside her.
“Here are the pine nuts you wanted.” Yin Huaixi smiled.
“Oh.” Yu Youyao subconsciously took the pine nuts. She crushed them with a rolling pin and sprinkled them on the pine nut cake. She opened her mouth and said, “Help me bring the bamboo steamer beside me.”
Yin Huaixi quickly brought over the last bamboo steamer on the table.
Yu Youyao quickly placed the finished pine nut cakes into the bamboo steamer one by one. She arranged them neatly and covered the steamer. “Put the bamboo steamer on the steamer.”
Yin Huaixi did as he was told. The steamer had four layers of bamboo steamers, all the results of her afternoon of work.
After the pine nut cakes were placed in the steamer, Yu Youyao suddenly realized that she seemed to have instructed Yin Huaixi to do something just now?!
Yin Huaixi asked again, “Is there anything else you need to do?”
Yu Youyao subconsciously shook her head and suddenly reacted. “When did you come back? Why didn’t you say anything at all? I’ve asked the servants to prepare dinner. Recently, the weather has been cold and humid, and you’ve been running around outside. I’ve made medicinal sheep soup to warm your body and dissipate the cold. I’ve stewed it for more than four hours. It’s very nourishing. I’ve even made mutton burgers. Later, I’ll set up a grill. There will be mutton soup, mutton burgers, and mutton spine.”
Yu Youyao was still in mourning and did not eat any meat. These were specially prepared for him.
Yin Huaixi lowered his head. The little girl was standing in front of him, her head only reaching his chest. She was wearing a simple dress, but it made her
eyes look gentle and real.
A sentence suddenly appeared in his mind. “Remove all the false appearances of the world to see the truth.
Only by removing all pretense of being worldly could one see true love and sincerity.
Yin Huaixi suddenly reached out and rubbed his hand against her cheek. “Your face is covered in flour.’
There was a thin calluses on his fingers, caused by him holding brushes and knives. He gently rubbed her face, revealing a hint of roughness, making her face feel a little itchy and hot.
Yu Youyao blushed and subconsciously tilted her face. She rebuked, “Who asked you to say this? I was asking you a question. Why didn’t you answer?”
“I’ve been back for a while. I heard from the maidservant that you were in the kitchen, so I came over to take a look.” Yin Huaixi took a step forward, his shoes almost touching her toes.
His majestic and tall body was as rugged as a mountain, and the waves of the sea fell towards her with an overwhelming force.
Yu Youyao was a little flustered. Her first reaction was not to escape, but to bury her head in her hands. She suddenly closed her eyes and shrank her head like a little quail.
Her slender eyelashes fluttered pitifully.
She was obedient and cute.
He wanted to kiss her even more!
Yin Huaixi pursed his lips and did not smile. “Why are you closing your eyes?!”
That’s right, why was she closing her eyes?! It was as if he was going to do something bad. Yu Youyao also felt a little inexplicable. “Then I’ll open my eyes!”
Yin Huaixi said nothing.
“I’m opening my eyes!” As if she wanted his permission, Yu Youyao emphasized it again. Then, she raised her head, straightened her neck, and quickly opened her eyes.
However, before she could adapt to everything in front of her, her vision was suddenly replaced by a blur.
“Mm…
Therefore, her feeling was indeed right. Yin Huaixi was going to play tricks on her.
The sky gradually darkened. The dim yellow candlelight on the lamp rack danced and swayed lightly, scattering charming and beautiful light. Occasionally, there would be a sizzling sound from the wick.
In the side room, Mother Yang, who had instructed the old maids to work, looked at the time and called a young maidservant over. “It’s already late when His Highness is back. Go and ask Miss Chun Xiao when dinner will be served.”
The young maidservant quickly left the house and saw Miss Chun Xiao guarding outside the kitchen.
She quickly leaned over and opened her mouth to ask about the food.
She saw Young Miss walk out of the house with her head lowered. Her footsteps were anxious and chaotic, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing after her.
Immediately after, she saw His Highness come out and follow behind Young Miss unhurriedly.
The two of them maintained a distance between them, as if they were having an argument. The young maidservant shuddered and quickly lowered her head, not daring to take another look.
Yu Youyao lowered her head and stared at the road. She walked all the way to the moon gate and suddenly stopped. She pinched her handkerchief and gently pressed the corner of her mouth, as if she was doing it casually. “Get Mother Yang to prepare dinner! ”
With that, she quickly turned around and returned to the Jiushao Courtyard.
When Xia Tao saw that Young Miss had returned to the Jiushao Courtyard, she quickly leaned over. “Young Miss, when His Highness returned just now, he brought you pink osmanthus candy cake with lotus root. I heard that it’s an established name. When His Highness returned, he specially took a detour to buy it.”
Yu Youyao walked on her own and ignored her.
Xia Tao found it strange. “Young Miss, what’s wrong? By the way, where’s His Highness? After he returned to the residence just now, he didn’t even take a sip of tea and went to the kitchen to look for you. Didn’t you see him?”
If she had seen His Highness, she wouldn’t have such an attitude!
Yu Youyao pinched her handkerchief and pressed it against her swollen mouth. She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and angry.
However, she kept her head lowered and looked a little unhappy. Xia Tao thought that Young Miss did not know that His Highness had returned and wanted to say it to make her happy.
“If His Highness didn’t go to the kitchen to look for you, he must have been delayed by official business again. I heard from some old people in Xiangping City that judging from the commotion the Di people have caused in the past few years, the North is going to war with them this year…’
Every sentence was about “Your Highness.” Yu Youyao was furious. She walked into the house in three steps. Xia Tao quickly followed and heard the open door close with a bang. She walked in a hurry and did not stop for a moment, almost bumping into the door.
Xia Tao was a little confused. “That’s strange. What’s wrong with Young Miss?”
Outside the door, Xia Tao was at a loss. In the room, Yu Youyao quickly entered the inner room and sat in front of the dressing table. The bright glass mirror clearly reflected her face, like a spring apricot. It was as bright as the sun rising into the morning sky.
It was as bright as a lotus flower.
It was extremely beautiful..
