The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Liu Ruyan took the brocade box handed to her by Nangong Chun, opened it and saw a hairpin inside. Liu Ruyan took out the hairpin.

“Where did Your Highness find this hairpin? The pearls on it are extremely valuable. It is far too precious for someone of my status to wear such a hairpin. Your Highness should leave it to Consort Mo.”

Liu Ruyan put the hairpin back and pushed it in front of Nangong Chun.

Nangong Chun did not accept the brocade box, but looked at Liu Ruyan and said, "Yan'er, just tell me if you like it or not, there's no need to think about anything else."

Liu Ruyan glanced at the box again and said with a smile, "What woman wouldn't love such an exquisite and gorgeous hairpin?"

Upon hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Nangong Chun smiled and opened the brocade box again, taking out a hairpin and inserting it directly into Liu Ruyan's hair: "It looks so good! I'm glad Yan'er likes it."

Liu Ruyan reached out and touched the pearl hairpin in her hair: "Then this concubine thanks Your Highness."

Just as Liu Ruyan finished speaking, Xiao Yun entered the room carrying a tray with an earthenware pot, two bowls, and spoons on it: "Master, the soup is at the perfect temperature to drink, so I didn't heat it up."

Liu Ruyan nodded: "You can go down now."

Xiaoyun smiled and withdrew. Liu Ruyan stood up, picked up the soup bowl from the tray, and ladled a bowl of soup from the earthenware pot. She went to the window.

He presented the soup bowl to Nangong Chun and said, “Your Highness, please try this. This is a recipe from my hometown. A whole chicken is stuffed into a pig’s stomach and simmered over low heat for an hour. Then the chicken is taken out, the pig’s stomach is shredded, and the soup is simmered until thick. I also added some herbs to replenish qi and blood! Your Highness, please try it and see if you can eat it.”

Nangong Chun saw that there was half a bowl of soup in front of her. The soup was milky white and had a rich aroma. A few red goji berries were sprinkled on top of the soup, which looked very nice.

Nangong Chun scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth and nodded: "Not bad. This soup smells very fragrant and tastes mellow. Yan'er's cooking skills are quite good."

"If Your Highness likes it, please drink more. It won't be a waste of all the effort I put into having these things prepared for you every day!"

"So Yan'er prepares meals for me every day? But why have I never received an invitation from Yan'er?" Nangong Chun was touched but also puzzled.

"Your Highness, you are of noble status. Although there is no princess in your household at present, you have more than just Yan'er as a concubine. If Yan'er goes to deliver soup to Your Highness every day or invites Your Highness to dine in my courtyard, it will not only be against the rules, but also cause people to gossip, thinking that Yan'er is taking advantage of Your Highness's favor towards me and seducing Your Highness every day, thus hindering Your Highness from spreading his affections evenly."

Therefore, Yan'er could only prepare one soup or a few local dishes each day, so that the prince could enjoy them whenever he had time to come over, without affecting the harmony among the sisters in the back courtyard.

Upon hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Nangong Chun rose and went to her side, embracing her in his arms: "My Yan'er is always so sensible, so sensible that it breaks my heart. I promise you, if I want to dine here in the future, I will have someone inform you in advance, so you don't have to bother preparing these things every day."

"Your body is not yet fully recovered; you should take good care of yourself and recover as soon as possible so that you can give me a well-behaved and sensible child like Yan'er."

Liu Ruyan leaned against Nangong Chun's chest and whispered, "I wonder if I'm lucky enough to bear a child for Your Highness!"

"If I say it's possible, then it's possible. I've already consulted the imperial physician, and it seems that Yan'er's miscarriage this time didn't damage her health. With proper care, she can naturally give birth to my child again. Right now, Yan'er just needs to relax and rest well."

Nangong Chun tightened his grip on Liu Ruyan's arm. He truly cherished the woman before him; she was always so understanding and never jealous, devoted to him unconditionally. He had three or four concubines in his harem, but all of them were respectful and obsequious, trying to curry favor with him. They all sought some benefit or reward from him. Only Yan'er was different; she never cared about such things and only had a sincere heart for him.

Liu Ruyan never dreamed that just a bowl of soup would win over Nangong Chunxin, making her imagine her as a devoted woman, and she indulged in her fantasies!

Just then, there was a knock at the door: "Your Highness, someone from the Duke's Mansion has come. The Duke requests your presence at the mansion, saying he has important matters to discuss."

Liu Ruyan stepped out of Nangong Chun's embrace: "Your Highness, you should go now. Official business is important. I will take good care of myself."

Nangong Chun nodded and placed a kiss on Liu Ruyan's forehead: "Be good and take good care of yourself. We'll have a long future ahead of us." After saying that, he stood up and walked out the door.

Liu Ruyan stood up: "This concubine respectfully sees Your Highness off."

But after Nangong Chun left, Xiaoyun came in again: "Madam, the Prince is leaving now."

Liu Ruyan nodded: "You don't actually want him to stay for dinner, do you? If he really stays for dinner, I don't know where to get a few dishes to appease him. Take that pot of soup away. From now on, remember to have someone get up early every day to go to Wangjiang Pavilion and buy their daily soup. Just make sure it's different each time, and don't let anyone find out."

Xiaoyun smiled and nodded: "I understand, Madam. But the soup at Wangjiang Pavilion is truly exceptional. The ingredients are fresh, and it also contains nourishing medicinal herbs, making it a kind of medicinal cuisine."

Take this pork tripe and chicken soup, for example. I've heard it has certain nourishing effects. It contains precious medicinal herbs like ginseng, astragalus, and goji berries. My wife has been drinking it for a few days, and her complexion has become much rosier.

However, the food at Wangjiang Pavilion is truly exceptional. It's just a pity I can't eat spicy food right now. But when we have more free time, Miss, I'll take you to Wangjiang Pavilion to try their cuisine!

"Miss, are you serious? Miss, you're so kind!" Xiaoyun excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Ruyan's sleeve: "Then, Miss, may I order sauerkraut fish, boiled pork, braised pork with preserved mustard greens, and green tea Buddha cakes?"

"Of course! In the future, if we avenge our great wrongs and leave the Qing Prince's Mansion, the world is vast, and we can go wherever we want. Miss, I'll take you to sample delicacies from all over the country. Who knows, we might even find a suitable husband for our Xiaoyun!"

Liu Ruyan chuckled and teased Xiaoyun, saying that over the years, this girl had never abandoned her and had followed her all this time, and she had long regarded her as family.

Meanwhile, Nangong Li, Li Liuyun, and the others hurried along and finally arrived at the military camp around lunchtime.

The guards saw Xiao Jinzhu and his entourage approaching the military camp from afar and quickly called over another soldier: "Go and report to the Marshal and the Third Young Master that the Heir Apparent and the Young General have returned with some men!"
