Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

In modern times, although Qinghe knew about this method of raising fish in rice fields, it was the first time for him to see the fish in the rice fields with his own eyes. He was very excited and his mouth was watering as he looked at the fish.

"Aye, this fish is really fat. Let's go to the palace tonight. I will prepare a fish feast for the emperor, the queen, my brother, my sister-in-law, Haoxuan and the others."

Baili Ye smiled and agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Soon, Qing He and Bai Li Ye returned to the city with two buckets of fat fish, packed up their belongings in the palace, and then hurried into the palace.

The Emperor and Empress were very happy to see the two. The Empress stepped forward and said:

"I was just about to find someone to call you into the palace. I don't think you two have the slightest intention of getting married soon.

The wedding dress made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to He Yatou's drawing has been completed. It's just in time for you two to come. Come and try it on. If there's anything inappropriate, the embroiderers can quickly make corrections."

Hearing that they were about to get married, Qing He was a little dazed. She seemed to have no idea about it. She said with a little embarrassment:

"Thank you, Queen, for your concern. We will try it right away."

As soon as she finished speaking, two palace maids came in with plates containing their wives and followed the queen into the bedroom to try on her wedding dress.

After Qinghe and Baili Ye followed the queen into the bedroom, they began to try on their wedding dresses respectively.

When Qinghe put on the red wedding dress, her whole body seemed to be lit up.

The auspicious dragon and phoenix pattern exquisitely embroidered on the wedding dress flickered in the candlelight. The lifelike dragon and phoenix symbolized the harmony between husband and wife and happiness and auspiciousness.

And the blooming peony symbolizes wealth and prosperity, making her figure even more graceful.

Her beautiful face looked particularly charming against the backdrop of her wedding dress, and her long black hair fell on her shoulders.

The small bat embroidery dotted around the periphery, because "bat" and "blessing" are homophones, implying full of blessings and adding a bit of gentleness and charm.

She walked out slowly, and everyone's eyes lit up. The queen nodded with satisfaction, and said with joy in her eyes:

"He girl, you look so beautiful in this wedding dress. Ye'er is so lucky."

After Baili Ye put on his wedding dress, he looked extremely heroic.

The red robe made him look even more handsome and tall, with a hint of gentleness in his majesty.

The cloud pattern on the wedding dress symbolizes auspiciousness and promotion, while the ruyi embroidery on the shoulder represents good luck in everything.

He looked at Qinghe, his eyes full of love and affection. The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if time had stopped.

Qinghe looked at Baili Ye, a blush appeared on her face, and a sweet feeling surged in her heart.

Baili Ye looked at Qing He's delicate appearance, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He took Qing He's hand and said gently:

"Xiao He, you are so beautiful."

The emperor and the empress listened to their son's gentle words and sighed in their hearts: A grown-up son is no longer under the control of his father (mother)! Their cold-faced son had disappeared long ago without knowing when.

After trying on the wedding dresses, both of them changed them reluctantly. Thinking about the wedding that would be held in the near future, they became even more excited.

After they changed their clothes and came out, the emperor and empress looked at the two buckets of fish in the palace and asked with a smile:

"Yer, He girl, why did you bring so many fish into the palace today?"

Qing He smiled and said to the Emperor:

“Your Majesty, we caught this fish from the rice fields outside the city, and the rice will be ripe in a few days.

Today, Prince Chen and I went to the farm to release water into the rice fields in preparation for the rice harvest, and brought back two buckets of fish.

The fish raised in the rice fields are big and fat, so Aye and I thought of making a fish feast for the emperor, the queen, and my eldest brother's family."

The emperor and the empress were very surprised after hearing this. They walked into the fish barrel and carefully checked the fish in the barrel. They were indeed very fat, and they nodded continuously.

"I didn't expect the fish in the rice fields to grow so well. They look delicious. He girl, what dish are you going to make?"

Qing He kept it a secret and said, "I'll keep this secret for now. You can talk about it tonight!"

The emperor stroked his beard and laughed, saying, "Okay, then we'll wait."

After that, he arranged for Chief Steward Gao: "Chief Steward Gao, go and arrange for someone to notify the prince and his family to come to the palace for dinner!"

"Yes." Manager Gao responded and left.

"He girl, don't do everything by yourself. Just order the cooks and servants in the imperial kitchen around. Don't get too tired." The Queen Mother advised.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for your consideration." Qing He bowed.

"Someone is coming!"

Two guards came in upon hearing the voice and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, we are here."

"Help Princess Jiahe carry the fish to the imperial kitchen."

The two looked at each other and said, "Yes."

The two guards left, each carrying a bucket of fish.

Baili Ye and Qinghe bowed and said:

"Father, mother, I will accompany Qinghe to the imperial kitchen. We will come back together after we are done."

The emperor and the queen were happy to see their son clinging to Qinghe so much, and said with a smile:

"Go ahead. If Qing He needs help, remember to help him out. Don't tire He girl out."

Baili Ye responded with a smile, and the two left together.

Afterwards, the two of them went to the imperial kitchen and began to carefully prepare the fish feast.

The chefs and maids in the imperial kitchen did not dare to be negligent and came forward to help.

Qinghe arranged for the chef to help process some fish. He cleaned the fish skillfully and began to display various cooking skills.

Qinghe first picked out the fattest fish and prepared to make a braised fish.

She skillfully cut a few cuts on the fish, evenly applied salt, cooking wine and other seasonings on the fish, and marinated it for a while.

Next, pour oil into the pan and heat it up, put the fish into the pan and fry until both sides are golden brown, then add onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sugar and other seasonings, add appropriate amount of water, simmer on low heat, let the fish fully absorb the flavor of the seasoning, and the aroma gradually spread.

Then she picked up another fish and planned to make a steamed fish.

After cleaning the fish, put shredded green onion and ginger on the fish and steam it in a steamer.

During the process of steaming the fish, she prepared delicious steamed fish soy sauce. After the fish was steamed, she poured the steamed fish soy sauce on it and sprinkled some chopped green onions on it. A light and delicious steamed fish was ready.

Next, Qinghe started to make fried fish fillets.

She cut the fish into small pieces, coated them with a thin layer of flour, put them into the pan and fried them until crispy, then sprinkled them with pepper and salt. The crispy and tender fried fish pieces were mouth-watering.

For a smaller fish, she decided to make a hot and sour fish soup.

After frying the fish until both sides changed color, she added hot water, put in sauerkraut, pickled peppers, etc., and cooked a rich hot and sour soup. The sour and spicy taste stimulated the taste buds.

There is also a sweet and sour fish dish that is gradually taking shape under her skillful hands. The fish is fried until golden brown and put back into the pan again, and stir-fried with sweet and sour sauce. The sweet and sour taste increases people's appetite.

Afterwards, Qinghe made the fish paste that was chopped by the chef in the imperial kitchen, added egg white, salt, MSG, pepper and sesame oil, and stirred clockwise until the fish paste was firm.

Use a spoon to transfer the fish paste into a large basin of cold water, and soon you will have pearl-like fish balls.
