The weak prince's queen

"What is your princess going to do? I have already washed the chicken." Dong'er asked while holding the chicken.

"Today we are going to make 'white-cut chicken'." Chu Xiyue smiled mysteriously, with a confident light flashing in her eyes.

"Boiled chicken?" Mo Feng and Dong'er exchanged a bewildered glance. They had never heard of the name, let alone what it was.

"It's hard to explain in a few words. In short, you just wait for the delicious food." Chu Xiyue explained with a smile. This dish is her specialty. Her grandmother taught her how to make it.

As she spoke, Chu Xiyue skillfully took the chicken and put it into the boiling pot. After cooking for a while, she took out the chicken and quickly put it into the prepared ice water to soak for a while, then put it into the boiling water again, and repeated this three times.

"Princess, why do you have to repeat this?" Dong'er looked at Chu Xiyue's operation curiously and asked puzzledly.

Chu Xiyue patiently explained: "This will make the chicken more tender and firmer, while also preserving the original flavor of the chicken."

The chicken was cooked in the pot for a while. Chu Xiyue picked up the chopsticks and poked the chicken gently. Seeing that no blood was oozing out, she knew that the chicken was cooked.

Chu Xiyue picked up the chicken and carefully placed it on a plate, letting it cool slowly. Then, she turned to prepare the soul sauce of the white-cut chicken. The unique aroma filled the air, making people salivate.

"Okay, Mo Feng, I'll leave this rough work to you. Chop the chicken into small pieces and place them on a plate. I'll stir-fry a few side dishes." Chu Xiyue gave instructions in an orderly manner.

"Okay." Mo Feng rolled up his sleeves, picked up the kitchen knife, and skillfully cut the chicken into even small pieces. Every cut was made with his concentration and carefulness.

Before long, Chu Xiyue had quickly cooked four delicious quick dishes that were delicious in color, aroma and taste.

"Let's leave it at that for today. Five dishes are enough for us all to enjoy. Dong'er, prepare to eat. Mo Feng, go and push the prince over." Chu Xiyue gave orders in a confident manner.

"Yes, Princess." Mo Feng and Dong'er answered in unison and got busy.

Dong'er and Chu Xiyue placed the carefully prepared dishes neatly on the dining table.

"Your Highness, it's time for lunch. Today's meal was cooked by the princess herself." Mo Feng reported to the prince excitedly, his face filled with joy.

"Oh?" Xiao Yichen showed a surprised expression on his face after hearing the news.

"Let's go." Mo Feng smiled and pushed Xiao Yichen towards the dining room.

When they walked into the dining room, Dong'er saw Xiao Yichen and immediately saluted: "Your Majesty..."

"No need to be polite." Xiao Yichen responded coldly.

At this time, Chu Xiyue came over enthusiastically, pushed Xiao Yichen to the dining table, and said excitedly: "Come and try it, these are all made by me personally."

Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Xiyue, who had a sincere face in front of him, and then looked at the delicious food on the table. He felt incredible and couldn't help but look at her again.

"Are you sure you did it yourself?" Xiao Yichen asked doubtfully, his eyes full of suspicion.

"It was indeed done by the princess herself." Mo Feng on the side also confirmed this.

Chu Xiyue looked at Xiao Yichen and said softly, "Then Your Majesty, please try it and see if you like it."

Xiao Yichen frowned slightly, seeming a little unconvinced.

"Okay, no matter who made it, Your Highness, please try it first to see if it tastes good!" Chu Xiyue persuaded gently, her eyes full of anticipation.

Xiao Yichen hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up his chopsticks, carefully picked up a piece of chicken, and was about to put it in his mouth. However, at this moment, Chu Xiyue suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"Wait a moment, Your Highness." Chu Xiyue said, "The chicken needs to be dipped in this sauce to bring out its flavor to the fullest." As she spoke, she brought a plate of special sauce to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen looked at the sauce in front of him, feeling a little confused, but he still did as Chu Xiyue said and dipped the chicken in the sauce. When the chicken was covered with sauce, he was about to put it in his mouth, but hesitated. After all, he had never tasted this kind of food before and didn't know what it would taste like.

However, when he saw Chu Xiyue's expectant eyes, he finally mustered up the courage and put the chicken into his mouth. As soon as he took a bite, he felt a rich aroma spread throughout his mouth. The chicken was tender and juicy, with a wonderful texture. The unique sauce added a unique flavor to the entire dish.

Xiao Yichen couldn't help but widen his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected that this seemingly ordinary chicken could be so delicious. He couldn't help but pick up another piece of chicken and taste it again. With every bite, he could feel the unique aroma and delicate taste.

For a moment, Xiao Yichen's face showed a satisfied smile. He put down his chopsticks and said to Chu Xiyue, "The princess's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary. This dish is absolutely delicious."

Chu Xiyue was filled with joy after hearing this. She knew she had succeeded, and she smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. As long as Your Highness likes it, that's all I need."
