The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

The same handwriting and the same words were written on each letter. Xiao Mingchen felt a little helpless when he saw the pile of questions like "Is the prince in good health? When will he return to the camp?"

"Come in." Xiao Mingchen answered when he heard the knock on the door.

Chi Feng walked in, bowed, and then said, "Your Majesty, the princess said she wants to invite everyone in the palace to dinner tonight."

"Everyone?" Xiao Mingchen was also a little surprised when he heard this. This was not a trivial matter. There were many people in the prince's mansion, unlike the general's mansion which had fewer people and was easier to arrange.

"Yes, I asked that too, and the princess said yes." Chi Feng gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. He was worthy of being the prince's most loyal subordinate. He and the prince were in perfect sync and even asked the same questions.

"Did you tell me what to eat?"

"You said we were going to have hot pot. I saw that the princess had made a lot of pots and pans specifically for this banquet. They were in strange shapes, and I have never seen them before."

Xiao Mingchen nodded, "Got it, go down, and bring a few people to see if the princess needs any help."

"Yes." Chi Feng walked out while thinking, when did the prince become so concerned about the princess? It seems that Mo Yu was right, the prince might really like the princess.

Xiao Mingchen was still looking forward to the hotpot tonight. The last meal made him have a high opinion of Ling Yueqing's cooking skills.

Ling Yueqing notified everyone she was going to invite, and of course she would not forget to ask Dashun and Ershun to inform the kitchen and buy more of the necessary vegetables for the hot pot.

"Lettuce, romaine lettuce, potatoes, tofu, cabbage, mushrooms, lotus root slices, coriander, spinach, pork, lamb, beef... etc." Ling Yueqing made a long list for the person in charge of purchasing in the palace, writing down all the dishes she could think of.

They are responsible for purchasing food for the palace all year round and are very familiar with the food intake of the palace staff, so Ling Yueqing left the decision of the purchase quantity to them.

If these vegetables are out of stock, or if there are some that the royal family likes to eat on a daily basis, they can be replaced. The only requirement is that everyone should be well fed.

Ling Yueqing sent everyone around her out to pass on the message, leaving only Ying'er behind.

It's not that she didn't want to send her, but since she knew they were going to have hot pot tonight, she kept asking Ling Yueqing with shining eyes, what is hot pot? Is it delicious? How to eat it?

"You little foodie, you'll know tonight. I guarantee you'll want to eat more after you've eaten it." Ling Yueqing said this, and Ying'er was satisfied.

If the princess said it was delicious, then it must be delicious. She had seen the princess’s cooking skills.

So she resisted the urge to eat anything the whole day. She usually hung the bag of snacks on her waist so she could eat at any time, but today she was afraid she might not be able to resist eating, so she left it in the house and didn't bring it with her.

She secretly brainwashed herself, "Be a little hungrier now, so you can eat more later." Thinking this way, she became even hungrier, so hungry that she didn't even have the energy to walk.

Ling Yueqing found her listless look a little funny, just like when she was a child eating buffet. In order to eat the buffet back then, she also refrained from eating from the night before, just to be able to eat more.

[Warm Tips: This is not good for the stomach, it is recommended that babies do not do this, haha]

Afternoon time (15:17-:).

Ling Yueqing took a few of her helpers to the kitchen to prepare hot pot dishes.

So for the next few hours, people on the street could see the princess leading two little girls, a little follower and a group of kitchen staff washing vegetables there.

It was soon time for dinner. Seeing that the princess still had no intention of starting the fire to cook, Li Yan spoke first, "Master, is it too late? Let me help you."

"No, look carefully, this is the first delicacy that Master will teach you - shabu-shabu hotpot."

It is summer now. In the evening, when the sun sets, the yard will be very cool, which is perfect for eating hot pot.

Although the courtyard of the palace is very large, if everyone in the palace were to sit at the tables, there would not be enough space, so this was a very large project.

And with so many people, everyone using charcoal fire, it was a little too hot when they gathered together.

The most important thing is that eating hotpot is all about having fun. With the prince sitting there, everyone is so reserved that they can't relax.

It would be better to go back to your room and have a good time chatting with friends while eating hotpot.

So Ling Yueqing planned to teach her little apprentice Li Yan and the kitchen helper in the palace how to do it first, and then let them teach others.

Each room was given a hot pot, one with charcoal fire, one with vegetables and meat, plus a portion of hot pot base and dipping sauce that she made secretly and told no one.

As for how to eat it, that’s very simple. Just teach some people first, and then let everyone pass it on to each other.

Ling Yueqing planned to set up a few tables in the yard, so that they, the prince and his personal guards could eat together.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Ling Yueqing straightened up and let out a long sigh, "It's really tiring to prepare so many things."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu walked up to Ling Yue and began to massage her back. Ying Er also hurriedly began to massage her arms.

Ling Yueqing looked at the things in front of her and felt that something was missing. Suddenly, she remembered, how can you eat hot pot without drinks?

I couldn't help but sigh, "It would be nice if there was iced honey lemonade. It would go well with hot pot, and it would taste sour and sweet and relieve the spiciness."

"Princess, what is lemonade?" Ying'er is always as enthusiastic as ever when she hears about something edible.

Ling Yueqing thought, just because they hadn’t heard of lemon didn’t mean they hadn’t seen it. It might just be that it was called differently from the modern name.

So he described what a lemon looked like to everyone.

"It's about half the size of a palm, oval in shape, yellow in color, with a rough skin and tiny pores, and tastes sour."

"The color can range from dark yellow to light yellow, and the size varies, but generally speaking it looks like this."

Everyone shook their heads, having never heard of or seen this kind of fruit.

Ling Yueqing was a little disappointed. It was normal that she had never seen it before, and she didn't know if there would be ripe fruits in this season. However, she remembered that in modern times, different varieties of lemons seemed to be available all year round.

At this moment, Dashun suddenly thought of something, and pulled Ershun to talk to him in a low voice.

Then I saw Ershun's eyes light up instantly, and he slapped his thigh, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that, brother, you have a good memory."

So he hurriedly said to Ling Yueqing, "Princess, you are talking about sour fruit, right? There are petals inside, and there are many seeds. It tastes sour, astringent, and a little bitter."

"Yes, it's this thing. Have you seen it? Where did you see it?" Ling Yueqing was also a little excited. She had lost hope.
