Dressed As a Mother-in-law, She Leads the Whole Family To Turn Over Chapter 260

Chapter 260 Do you know Zhong Mianmian?

"The princess is talking about Zhong Xuezheng's granddaughter?" Jiang Ning was a little surprised. She knew that Zhong Mianmian entertained the princess, but she didn't expect that the princess would still remember Mianmian.

Princess Yongyang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Do you know her? How is she doing now? Do you still remember me?"

Jiang Ning was a little dumbfounded, "Princess, I haven't been in Fucheng for long, and I have only met Mianmian a few times. However, the Zhong family is a scholarly family after all, and Mianmian must have been well educated."

Princess Yongyang was a little disappointed and hummed: "That **** girl coaxed me to spend a thousand taels of silver notes to buy those papers, and I happily gave her the money. Only when I came back did I find that I had been cheated! I The palace chief has never suffered a loss before, but he fell into trouble with that little girl!"

Jiang Ning felt cold sweat break out on his back and hurriedly apologized to Mianmian, "Princess, forgive me, Mianmian is a playful child. She suffered a crime at a young age. The Zhong family owes their children and indulges them." Some of them are not intentional, and she will personally come to remind her when she returns to Quzhou."

Princess Yongyang waved her hand, not caring much, "I am not that stingy person, how could I care about a child younger than me! However, Uncle Guang En seems to care about Mianmian very much, why is this?"

Jiang Ning didn't hide anything. He told in a low voice how he saved Mianmian and how he helped her out.

Princess Yongyang looked like she had heard a story from a scholar. She was sometimes surprised, nervous, and filled with indignation. Her expression was wonderful.

After the empress and the old lady finished talking, they turned around and saw Princess Yongyang and Uncle Guang En talking together, just like ladies from aristocratic families gathering together to discuss the rights and wrongs of others.

Looking at the other ladies, they were all sitting on pins and needles, saying nothing, trying their best to listen to the two of them murmuring, and they were so embarrassed.

The emperor coughed loudly twice.

Princess Yongyang and Jiang Ning both looked up, their eyes still a little confused.

The emperor laughed angrily, "The princess and Uncle Guang En had such a lively conversation when they first met. Let me listen to whatever they say."

Princess Yongyang shook her head without thinking, "No, no, father, this is a secret between the three of us and cannot be revealed."

"Three people?" The emperor asked with a question mark on his head, "There are only two of you, how can you get three people?"

“There's Zhong Mianmian too!” Princess Yongyang said matter-of-factly.

The emperor suddenly realized that what Princess Yongyang talked about the most when she came back from Quzhou Mansion was Zhong Bohan's granddaughter. I heard that she was also a poor child. She was kidnapped by gangsters and was later rescued by Guang Enbo. How could these two people find such a topic to talk about? Even half a day is not easy.

The emperor understood the inside story and did not delve into it any further, but others were confused and did not understand at all. The more they did not understand, the deeper their fear of Jiang Ning became.

“Okay! The cooking competition is about to begin, let's announce the decree!” The emperor changed the subject and got down to business.

Everyone calmed down.

The old lady looked at Prince Xiaoyao lovingly and joked: "If the dishes of the contestants today are to your liking, do you want to invite them to Prince Xiaoyao's palace?"

King Xiaoyao glanced at Jiang Ning resentfully, "Aunt, I think I'm just afraid that people won't let me!"

“How do you say this?” The old lady was puzzled. Shouldn't everyone be scrambling for such a great good thing?

King Xiaoyao looked outside depressedly and said, "I want to eat the food cooked by the boss of the Yang family, but Uncle Guang En won't let me go."

"Huh?" The old lady was extremely surprised and looked at Jiang Ning, "Uncle Guang En, your eldest son can also cook?"

"Aunt! Why do you think I go to Guang Enbo's house every day? Just for a bite to eat!" King Xiaoyao became more and more aggrieved.

Xiao Chongyun on the side felt helpless and wanted to sew his father's mouth shut.

Everyone in the room suddenly realized that some people were hiding their faces with handkerchiefs, and some were hiding them by drinking water, but without exception, everyone was a little embarrassed. They had heard rumors before and always thought that Uncle Guang En would do whatever it took to get the upper hand, even King Xiaoyao was seduced. Come to think of it, it's not what it's said to be.

They don't think King Xiaoyao can lie. This man has thousands of shortcomings, but they still agree on one thing, that is, he is responsible.

If there was really something between him and Uncle Guang En, he would definitely not say it so openly. The old lady laughed out loud at King Xiaoyao's words and felt much better.

The emperor was quite angry at first, but seeing that the old lady was happy, he did not reprimand his troubled brother.

The atmosphere in the waterside pavilion was quite harmonious because of King Xiaoyao's jokes. Only Concubine De and Yucai looked calm, but the empress was sitting in charge, and these two people really didn't dare to show anything.

Princess Yongyang thought Jiang Ning's words were interesting. After the emperor left her alone, she pestered Jiang Ning more and more unscrupulously, asking Zhong Mianmian for a while, and then asking about life in the countryside and the situation of the Yang family.

Jiang Ning tried his best to make his words interesting, which made Princess Yongyang fascinated.

While talking and laughing, the first competition ended.

The palace servants came in with plates of delicious food.

After everyone in the food tasting palace tasted it, the emperor and empress tried it, followed by the old lady and King Xiaoyao, and others could only sit with them.

Jiang Ning recognized Yang Datou's boiled fish at a glance among the dishes.

Seeing the emperor try that dish, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

“The color of this dish looks quite festive.” The emperor's eyes fell on the boiled fish and he commented in a good mood.

Jiang Ning became more and more worried.

Wang Xiaoyao on the side introduced: "This dish is called boiled fish. It is spicy and numb. It is different from Beijing cuisine, but it is suitable for winter. After one bite of fish, your whole body will be warmed up, but it is a bit strong."

The emperor became more and more curious as he listened, "According to what you say, this dish is extraordinary! I can't do it without trying it!"

The taster was reminded by King Xiaoyao and ate very carefully.

Everyone looked at him eagerly. Seeing that he was fine, the emperor also took a bite. His eyes widened a bit after just one bite.

Jiang Ning was so nervous that his breath suffocated, and he subconsciously held Princess Yongyang's hand tightly.

Princess Yongyang was startled by her and asked worriedly: "Uncle Guang En is not feeling well?"

Jiang Ning shook his head repeatedly and stared at the emperor.

After a while, the emperor turned aside to let the queen have a taste, and even put some vegetables into her mouth.

The queen looked shy and opened her mouth in response. The concubines beside her were so jealous that their veils almost broke.

“How do you feel?” The emperor stared at the queen with interest, waiting for her reaction.

The queen tasted the food carefully, then looked at the emperor, and nodded slowly, "It is indeed as spicy and numb as King Xiaoyao said. What is added to it?"

The emperor and empress were all gathered around this dish, and others were also curious after seeing it.

“Your Majesty, why don't you ask the cook to come over and ask?” the Queen suggested.

The emperor nodded.

After a while, Yang Datou led Liu Ye into the waterside pavilion. As soon as the two of them saluted, Yang Lexu in Jiang Ning's arms excitedly reached out to Liu Ye and said, "Mother, give me a hug."
