Soon, Princess Qin, led by her maid, came to Danxue Pavilion with bags full of things.

As soon as she saw Shen Li, she put down her things and ran over to hold Shen Li's hand, saying excitedly: "Princess Chen, thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I would have been buried in the ground now."

Shen Li smiled and said, "Princess Qin is too polite. It's just a small favor for me."

"No, no, I should thank you. I wanted my husband to come as well, but he said he was busy and asked me to come alone.

Look quickly, this is the gift I personally picked for you, do you like it?" Princess Qin took Shen Li's hand and came to the pile of gifts.

"This is Yong'anlou crab stuffed with orange, chestnut cake, this is flower-folded goose cake, this is dragon beard cake, this is mung bean cake..."

Shen Li watched and listened to the Princess of Qin reading out the names.

Oh wow, these gifts are all food.

The Princess of Qin is truly a foodie.

For a foodie, if she is willing to give away the most delicious food, it is enough to show how important that person is to her.

"How about it? These things are what I like to eat. I'll bring them here for you to try." Princess Qin said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Princess Qin."

"What Princess Qin? We are about the same age. Just call me Xiaoxiao from now on."

"I'm afraid this is not a good idea?" Shen Li hesitated.

After all, the Prince of Qin is the Emperor's younger brother, and in terms of seniority, the Princess of Qin can be considered his aunt.

Even in modern times, it is somewhat impolite to call your aunt by her name.

"It's okay. I don't care about those red tapes. Besides, we are of similar age. If we call each other Princess Qin and Princess Chen, it would be too distant. From now on, you call me Xiaoxiao and I will call you A Li." said the Princess Qin.

"no!"

When Yun Chenyu heard that Princess Qin wanted to call Shen Li "A Li", he immediately felt very unhappy.

It was bad enough that she ignored him just now, but now she was even trying to snatch his name from him. He wouldn't allow it.

The name A Li can only be used by him.

The Princess of Qin then realized that she had just ignored Yun Chenyu, and quickly turned around and bowed.

"Prince Chen is here too. I have to thank you for saving me from the tree."

Yun Chenyu rolled his eyes up and said, "Hmph, now she knows how to thank him. He doesn't appreciate her kindness. Don't even think that a simple thank you will take the name A Li away from him."

"You cannot call my princess Ah Li."

Princess Qin was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Why?"

She had never heard of a man getting angry with someone because of a name.

However, looking at Yun Chenyu's expression, he didn't seem to be joking.

"Anyway, it's not allowed. If you want to get closer to this princess, just call her Shen Li."

Princess Qin was a carefree person. Seeing Yun Chenyu's insistence, she smiled and said, "Since Prince Chen minds, I will call her Shen Li."

"Master, the mutton has been cut into pieces according to the number of bamboo sticks, and there is still some mutton left."

Qingluan walked up to Shen Li and said.

I didn’t expect this suckling sheep to be so fat. I bought a total of 100 bamboo skewers, and after skewering them all, there was still some mutton left.

Shen Li said: "Okay, let's save the remaining mutton for now. We can have mutton hotpot another day."

Mutton skewers are delicious, and mutton hotpot is even more delicious.

Qingluan didn't know what hot pot was, but she understood what her master said before. When he asked her to keep the remaining mutton, she agreed.

At this time, Princess Qin also noticed that some maids were busy doing something not far away.

She asked Shen Li: "Shen Li, what are they doing?"

Shen Li said, "They are chopping the mutton, but they have finished. I will go over and marinate it and make grilled mutton skewers tonight."

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't know what lamb skewers were, but when she heard what Shen Li was going to cook, she immediately opened her eyes wide and became excited.

"Grilled lamb kebabs? Are they delicious?"

"Of course it's delicious. Summer nights wouldn't be much fun without barbecue and lamb skewers. Come on, follow me over and take a look. If you want to try it, stay and eat with us tonight."

There are so many people and it’s lively.

Besides, Shen Li liked Mu Xiaoxiao's personality, so he didn't care about anything and just called her over.

"Okay." Mu Xiaoxiao agreed excitedly.

Both of them left, leaving Yun Chenyu standing there awkwardly, not knowing whether to follow or leave.

That Shen Li, she asked Princess Qin to go over and take a look but she didn’t even invite him over. They had only known each other for a few days.

Helpless, Yun Chenyu was too curious.

He walked over slowly and shamelessly.

Looking at the pot of diced mutton, Shen Li seemed to smell the aroma of grilled lamb skewers, and his tongue kept secreting saliva.

She picked up the seasonings she bought at the market and poured them in one by one. When all the seasonings were poured in, she rolled up her sleeves and started stirring.

"Qingluan Qingzhi, just stir it more like me so that the seasoning can penetrate into the meat completely. This way the grilled skewers will be more delicious."

Shen Li demonstrated it to the maids, then pulled his hand out and washed it.

Then he turned around and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, let it marinate for a while, then we'll put the meat on bamboo skewers and grill it tonight."

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's skewer the meat together later."

"Prince, do you have anything else to say?" Shen Li asked embarrassedly when she saw Yun Chenyu staring at her.

"fine."

"Why aren't you going back if everything is fine? Don't you have any official business to attend to today?"

Yun Chenyu frowned.

Humph, this woman actually used official business as an excuse to drive him away!

"I have finished my official business today. I heard that you were going to grill some lamb skewers, so I stayed here to eat them." Yun Chenyu shamelessly insisted on staying.

Shen Li rolled his eyes: I didn't even bother with him, but he was so shameless as to come and eat and drink for free.

"We won't start grilling until tonight. We'll be busy skewering the meat this afternoon. Could it be that the prince wants to join us in skewering?"

"Oh, in that case, I'll come back in the evening."

Yun Chenyu then reluctantly left Danxue Pavilion.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go to the kitchen and see if there are any vegetables that can be grilled." Shen Li said to Princess Qin.

"Can vegetables be grilled? What kind of new way of eating is this?" Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little unbelievable.

"Of course, roasted, boiled, and stir-fried ones taste very different."

"Will it be blurry?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked with wide eyes.

"If you don't bake it properly, it will definitely burn, so mastering the heat is key."

"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen with you." Mu Nuannuan took Shen Li's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Shen Li found mushrooms, eggplants, and leeks.

"That's all. We just need to cut up the mushrooms and eggplants, pick the leeks, and wash them."

The two of them were busy cutting a basket of vegetables.

By the time they returned to Danxue Pavilion, the marinated mutton had already absorbed the flavor. Shen Li grabbed a piece of mutton and sniffed it. "Well, okay, let's start skewering."

"it is good."

Although Mu Xiaoxiao is a pure ancient princess, she is humble when doing things and can skewer mutton more skillfully than a maid.

Shen Li was very satisfied with his new friend.
