The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

The atmosphere in Tinglan Courtyard has been very depressing these days. The servants are all very cautious and are in a low-pressure environment.

Xiao Wanyue also knew that He Jingming was in a bad mood. After all, it was his mother's death anniversary. She wondered what she should do to make him feel better. The last time she took He Jingming's pulse, the remaining poison in his body had not been cleared yet. His mania might break out again.

Her favorite thing is to cook delicious food, so why not make something delicious? She really wants to eat hot pot, especially when the weather is a little cold. Eating mutton hot pot is really suitable for such weather. If she drinks some wine, all her worries will be forgotten.

I came to the study and knocked on the door. Today was a day off, and He Jingming didn't go out. He stayed in the study. I don't know what he was doing in the study.

A steady voice came from inside: "Come in."

Although He Jingming had drunk a few glasses of wine, he was still sober. When Xiao Wanyue came to the door of the study, he knew that someone had come, and it was his Yue'er.

He didn't know why Yue'er came to see him, but he was still a little happy that the depression he had felt in the past few days had eased.

When Xiao Wanyue opened the door, she saw He Jingming sitting with his head down, handling government affairs. He looked normal and had no oppressive aura. It seemed that he was in good condition.

"Greetings, Prince." Xiao Wanyue stepped forward and bowed.

"Yue'er, there's no need to be so polite." He Jingming stopped writing, stood up and helped Xiao Wanyue.

His movements were quick, and there was a clear smile on his face. His slender and powerful hands grabbed her wrist. Xiao Wanyue stood up and threw herself into his arms, her body pressed against his chest. She even thought her nose was going to be broken.

He freed his hand and rubbed his nose, tears about to fall from his eyes.

"Why are you like this? Can't you pull it a little more gently? You've hurt my nose." Xiao Wanyue's voice was clearly a curse, but He Jingming sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, Yue'er, you are so cute, haha."

"Why are you still laughing? It hurts so much." Xiao Wanyue glared at him angrily.

"I was wrong, Yue'er, don't be angry. How about you hit me and I won't fight back?" He Jingming said to Xiao Wanyue.

Xiao Wanyue put down her hands and looked up at He Jingming, only to find that he was laughing so happily today. This was the first time she saw him laugh like this. It felt like a spring breeze blowing on her face, and she couldn't help but stare at him in a daze.

"Yue'er, what do you want to see me for?" He Jingming's voice awakened Xiao Wanyue who was immersed in it. She felt a little embarrassed and her face turned red in an instant.

He Jingming also saw Xiao Wanyue's obsession with him. He was very happy. Yue'er was obsessed with his appearance. Would she also be bewitched by his appearance? He wanted to tease her: "Yue'er, am I good-looking?"

"nice."

Xiao Wanyue couldn't help but say what was wrong with her today. She had been bewitched by this man, but she couldn't indulge in him just because he was handsome.

Thinking about the scene just now, she felt that this man was really sick and didn't need to help her. She suspected that this man just wanted to take advantage of her. You are a prince, and you have to help a maid.

She quickly distanced herself from him, as she was still not used to them being so close.

I have to say, this He Jingming is very handsome, with good looks and a graceful figure. If she didn't know that he was a crazy male lead, she would have been moved. It's a pity that the male lead is the female lead.

"What's the matter with Yue'er coming here?" He Jingming asked the woman in front of him, looking at her blankly.

"It seems that the prince is in a bad mood. Now that the weather is getting colder, it is a good time to eat mutton to keep out the cold. I wanted to ask you if you would like to try my cooking. However, you have to pay for the ingredients. I have no money." Xiao Wanyue said.

He Jingming smiled. He didn’t expect Yue’er to notice his mood changes. Was she concerned about him?

"Okay, sure. I'll have He Chuan go shopping with you later. We'll buy whatever you need."

"Okay, thank you, Prince. I will definitely not let you down." Xiao Wanyue looked at He Jingming with sparkling eyes full of confidence. He saw again the woman who remained calm in the face of danger at the banquet. She was so energetic and brilliant.

Xiao Wanyue left the study to write down the necessary seasonings. She had to make a delicious soup base no matter what. Beef hot pot was out of the question. You have to know that the world in the book is the prototype of reality. Agricultural civilization has lasted for thousands of years, and cattle are necessary tools for farming. Ancient people attached great importance to cattle, and the court also had laws to protect cattle, otherwise she would be able to eat beef hot pot.

Unfortunately, this is not modern times, but ancient times.

She wrote the list, and He Chuan happened to arrive, bringing two more people with him, He Hai and He Shui. The three of them went straight out of the Marquis' Mansion and divided into two teams to buy materials.

Xiao Wanyue and He Chuan were in a group. They went directly to the pharmacy and bought spices such as cinnamon, bay leaves, and star anise.

I went to several shops to get the seasonings, and the rest were various vegetables and meats.

She still wanted to ask if there was any beef for sale. She didn't know, but the people next to her definitely knew.

"Brother He, do you know where to sell beef from animals that died accidentally?" Xiao Wanyue asked.

He Chuan asked in surprise: "Why are you selling beef? It's hard to buy."

Xiao Wanyue: "I want to buy some to eat, but I don't know if I can buy it."

He Chuan: "I know a place, we can go and have a look, but I don't know if they sell it."

"it is good."

The two went to a butcher's shop, which sold all kinds of meat, including mutton, pork, wild boar meat, and other game. She also saw rabbits.

Suddenly I thought of spicy rabbit head and stir-fried rabbit meat, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

"Boss, do you have beef?" He Chuan asked.

"Sir, what a coincidence! There's beef today. A farmer's cow fell into a trap and died. There's still 100 kilograms of beef. How much do you want?"

Before He Chuan could say anything, Xiao Wanyue was so excited that she said directly, "I bought them all."

Boss: "Okay, do you need it cut into pieces?" He was a little surprised that the two people wanted to buy so much meat. Although he was surprised, he was also very happy that he could buy all the beef in one go.

"need."

"Okay, wait a moment, sir."

Xiao Wanyue looked again and suddenly saw a dark green mass in a basin. She became even more excited. What did she see?!

"Boss, how much is this thing?" Xiao Wanyue asked.

The boss took one look at it and said with disgust: "This one is free."

Xiao Wanyue: "If you don't want money, can you give it to me?"

The boss said: "I'll give them all to you. That one is too hard to wash and doesn't taste good. No one wants it if I take it back, so I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, boss. I'd like three more rabbits, two chickens, half a lamb, and some lean pork."

"What are you two doing? Is there some big happy event? Haha." The boss said with a smile.

"Nothing, I just bought it to cook." Xiao Wanyue said casually.

"Okay, then should I deliver these things to you or do you want to take them away yourselves?" asked the boss.

"Let's get it ourselves." Xiao Wanyue.

After giving the money, He Chuan loaded all the things onto the cart and drove the carriage out of the house.

There are almost two hundred kilograms of things. Is this too much? He Jingming doesn't think that he spends too much money. That shouldn't be possible. He is the prince, so he still has this little money. Others are rich. Or maybe he is too narrow-minded.

The other two bought some vegetables and fruits and returned to the mansion.

Xiao Wanyue started to prepare the base ingredients and asked the cook to help her cut the vegetables and meat.

It was not until the evening that she finished dealing with these things. She was a little tired. She made beef hot pot base and felt happy just thinking about it.
