Chapter 237: Cooking Personally
Chapter 237: Cooking Personally
Upon seeing this, the head chef immediately turned around and said, "Quickly, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, tidy up the place."
After they finished getting ready, Lin Rusi took off her cloak and changed into some light clothing.
"Wanxia, Wanqi, come help me. I'm not used to having others help me," Lin Rusi said with a soft laugh as she turned her head.
The two of them, of course, did not refuse, and in addition, there were several very experienced chefs to help.
Li Jingyang was also busy, following behind Lin Rusi and running around doing chores.
The kitchen had everything, but in her previous life, Lin Rusi had a few favorite dishes that even Li Zeyan praised for their cooking skills.
Lin Rusi never made it again after that, but now she wants to make it for Li Jingyang.
"Your Highness, would you be willing to help me chop vegetables?" At this moment, Li Jingyang was right next to Lin Rusi.
He didn't answer, but subconsciously took the kitchen knife and started chopping vegetables for Lin Rusi.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, as if stunned; no one had expected this.
His Highness actually agreed to Lin Rusi's request, and even had a slight smile on his face.
If they had known, their King Jinglie would have been a cold-faced devil, and no one would have dared to let him into the kitchen.
Even making such a request, let alone in the kitchen, is just asking for trouble.
Lin Rusi smiled, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. Her original intention was simply to have Li Jingyang taste the flavor.
But little did she know that he was right next to her, staring intently at her. That look made Lin Rusi a little nervous.
"Your Highness, why don't I help you? I often do these things." Wanqi immediately stepped in to smooth things over when she saw the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Upon hearing this, the man simply waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "No need, I want to help Sisi."
Li Jingyang was adamant and showed no intention of giving way.
Wanqi was stunned when she looked at His Highness's hand movements again. They were as smooth and effortless as if he spent all his time in the kitchen.
That's not right. When has His Highness ever been in the kitchen, or done such menial work?
This was completely beyond the comprehension of the group, not only Wanxia and the others in the kitchen.
Even Lin Rusi was somewhat surprised and turned her head to look at him with slight astonishment: "Your Highness is so skilled, have you done this before?"
Li Jingyang didn't answer, but chuckled softly.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Rusi didn't want to make a fool of herself, but she did remember.
While she was learning to cook for Li Zeyan, the other person coldly watched the show from the sidelines.
They even openly criticize their own faults.
That person never took his efforts to heart; he subconsciously felt that it was his due.
But Li Jingyang was different; he truly cared about her. Lin Rusi felt a warmth in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
Just as Lin Rusi was secretly pleased, she suddenly heard a man's whisper in her ear: "If it's something Sisi asked me to do, I think I have the talent for it."
Li Jingyang's warm breath tickled Lin Rusi's ear, making her turn her head away uncomfortably.
"Your Highness! Please stop joking."
The others all looked away, refusing to watch the two of them playfully fighting.
Especially when you see that the side dishes are almost ready, and almost all the preparations are done.
Wanqi understood, and immediately waved to the crowd, giving them a wink, and they all left.
The kitchen was left with such a large space for Lin Rusi and her companion. Soon, the kitchen became quiet, and Lin Rusi noticed this as well.
She smiled, her eyes fixed on Li Jingyang.
"Your Highness, you..." Lin Rusi turned her head, wanting to say something, but suddenly burst out laughing.
She glanced at Li Jingyang a couple more times, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Your Highness, hahaha..." Lin Rusi was genuinely laughing heartily.
The man seemed a little confused, but she smiled so broadly that her eyes were full of doting affection.
He spoke with a helpless yet gentle tone: "I suppose only you dare to smile at me like that. Anyone else would be terrified if they saw me."
Lin Rusi smiled until tears welled up in her eyes, but upon hearing these words, she became slightly more serious.
"Alright, then would this prince, who can scare people so much that their legs go weak, be willing to look in the mirror and wipe his face?" Lin Rusi teased, which made Li Jingyang frown.
Then he went to look at the water tank on the side, and sure enough, on the crystal-clear water, he saw two dark lines on his face, but he didn't know what they were.
He must have accidentally brushed against that spot, he said with a helpless chuckle, "Well, Sisi's got some nerve now, daring to laugh at me?"
When Li Jingyang questioned her, Lin Rusi quickly dodged away.
But Li Jingyang wouldn't let her off the hook. He grabbed a handful of flour and smeared it on her face.
Suddenly, Lin Rusi looked like a little kitten.
"Alright, Sisi is just like me now."
Lin Rusi's eyes widened. She put her hands on her hips, somewhat displeased: "Your Highness is cheating. This doesn't count."
As she spoke, she hopped and skipped as she smeared the flour back onto the table.
Li Jingyang was taken aback at first, then reacted: "Okay, today I'm going to make you turn into a little kitten."
As she spoke, Lin Rusi was the first to react. She took off running, making a face as she ran.
"If Your Highness really has a way, then come and chase after me! If you catch me, I'll admit defeat!"
Lin Rusi moved like a slippery eel, running incredibly fast, and Li Jingyang immediately caught up with her.
This startled the crowd of onlookers outside, who all strained to listen to what the two were saying.
Indeed, after all, who has ever seen King Jinglie like this?
The prince they had always seen always had a cold face; he had never acted like a child before.
Everyone had a great time watching the spectacle, and Lin Rusi quickly ran back to the courtyard, hiding behind Wanqi and Wanxia.
"Your Highness, we cannot renege on our promises, and we cannot harm the innocent."
"In my opinion, it is the princess who is being unreasonable," said Li Jingyang, but he did not show any anger on his face.
The two chased each other back to the courtyard, laughing and joking all the way, filling the entire Jinglie Prince's Mansion with their cheerful voices.
The servants and maids were also much happier, feeling that the atmosphere in the mansion was very relaxed ever since the princess arrived.
As for the people in the kitchen, they cleaned up the mess after the two left, but Lin Rusi was very careful and didn't make any dirt.
The food I made is being kept warm in the kitchen.
When the two returned to their room, they were covered in flour, making them unrecognizable.
Lin Rusi spread her hands coquettishly and helplessly: "Now look what's happened, His Highness is too playful and won't get to eat anything delicious."
"Yes, yes, it was my playfulness. I'll have Wanxia and the others prepare hot water so I can clean myself before eating."
Li Jingyang was doting and gentle, and did not refute her words.
Seeing this, Lin Rusi smiled contentedly and snuggled into his arms.
