Chapter 242 Gu Qingwan Cooks
The two of them had already changed into the ancient costumes prepared by Mu Wanwan. Although they looked a little formal, they still looked graceful.
Mu Chongli and Lin also looked over, holding little Jingxi in their arms, teasing her to call them grandpa and grandma.
Si Yuchen nodded slightly, his eyes gentle, and said with a smile: "Since you are the Prime Minister's distinguished guest, there is no need to be polite."
Li Jue and Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to get into trouble due to impoliteness.
Fortunately, this emperor was a wise ruler, unlike the tyrants in TV dramas who would behead people at any time.
Mu Sisi knew that the two of them were uncomfortable. When she first arrived in the modern era, she was also very cautious, fearing that she might make a mistake.
"Mom and Dad, let's go back home first." Mu Sisi suggested.
"Uncle, aunt, the elders in my family asked me to bring some small gifts and put them in the space button given by Miss Mu. I will present them when I get to your house." Li Jue spoke at the right time. His tone was respectful but polite, and there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
This was his first time visiting as a future son-in-law, and his future father-in-law was the prime minister of the dynasty, so he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
I was afraid that I would be careless in etiquette and leave a bad impression on them.
Upon hearing this, Mu Chongli looked at Li Jue and a look of approval flashed in his eyes. This kid is barely worthy of Sisi.
"Your Majesty, I will go back first. Wanwan, remember to go back to the mansion with the prince for dinner tomorrow." Mu Chongli gave Mu Wanwan a special instruction before leaving.
The prince and Wanwan are going to the palace today, so they can only meet again tomorrow.
Mu Wanwan nodded, "Dad, I understand."
"Sister, Chaochao is going back first. See you tomorrow." Mu Chaochao held Mu Wanwan's hand and said goodbye reluctantly.
Mu Yuheng and Mu Chaochao went back with them, as did Xiaoyou. She had bought a bunch of gifts for Nanny Li and the others, so naturally she had to go back and distribute them to everyone.
"Ali, do you and Weilu want to go into the palace with us?" Mu Wanwan turned around and asked. Yu Li was unfamiliar with this place, so she naturally wanted to bring him with her.
"Wanwan, you go. Weilu and I will walk around and see the ancient scenery. It's a rare opportunity to experience it." Yu Li refused. She was used to freedom and didn't want to be bound by the rules of the palace.
Weilu is an orc and doesn't understand those rules, so he must be following Yu Li.
"Then contact me by phone." Mu Wanwan took out some silver and banknotes from the space and handed them to Yu Li, saying with a smile, "Go ahead, I'll cover all your expenses."
"Thank you for the reward, Princess." Yu Li took the banknote, smiled and said something jokingly, then pulled Wei Lu away.
"Your Highness, I'll go back home first." Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Ouyang Moyu prepared to say goodbye and go back to his military advisor's residence.
"Mo Yu, wait a minute." Just as Ouyang Mo Yu was about to leave, Si Yuchen stopped him, "Your father sent someone to Rui Lan to look for you a while ago..."
Ouyang Moyu stopped and frowned slightly.
Are those people still unwilling to give up?
"The people your father sent said that if you don't return to fulfill your engagement, they will come and take you back personally." Si Yuchen said in a deep voice, "This matter is of no small importance. You need to consider it carefully."
Ouyang Moyu's face darkened and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. "Thank you for informing me, Your Majesty. I will go back and deal with it." Then he left.
Fulfilling the engagement? Mu Wanwan seemed to have smelled something big. She couldn't help but move closer to Si Yuchen and whispered, "Father, what's going on with this engagement?"
Si Yuchen sighed, "Let Yuan'er tell you." It was not convenient for him to get involved in what was happening over there.
Mu Wanwan turned to Si Yuan, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Ouyang is the national surname of Youshen Island, and Ouyang Moyu is the young master of Youshen Island. Youshen Island has been passed down for thousands of years, and the people on the island are not allowed to intermarry with outsiders, so Ouyang Moyu was engaged when he was born." Si Yuan explained.
But later, Ouyang Moyu had a big fight with his father for some unknown reason and left You Shen Island alone.
"Yuheng and I stayed on that island for a few years, and that's when we met Mo Yu. We became disciples of the Great Elder of You Shen Island, but we left after just a few years. We don't know what happened afterwards."
Mu Wanwan was thoughtful after hearing this. No wonder she had never heard Brother Mo Yu mention anything about his family. It turned out that there was such a background.
How could a young island master with a thousand-year-old heritage give up the responsibility and glory of the island and be willing to be a small military advisor beside Si Yuan?
"Okay, Mo Yu will take care of it, so we don't have to worry about it anymore." Si Yuan patted Mu Wanwan's little head, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
The rules of You Shen Island are strict, with a distinct hierarchy, far more stringent than those of the Rui Lan Dynasty. Mo Yu's actions are undoubtedly a challenge to the island master's authority, and this matter is unlikely to end well.
Mu Wanwan was still a little worried, after all, there was a story between Brother Mo Yu and his elder brother.
However, this is Brother Mo Yu's family affair, so she shouldn't interfere too much.
"Let's go back to the palace. Wanwan, the Queen Mother has been learning cooking during this period. Today, the Queen Mother will cook a welcoming banquet for you." During this period, Gu Qingwan learned a lot of dishes by following the cooking tutorials on her mobile phone, and all the ingredients were bought from the trading machine.
"Then I'm in for a treat today. I can taste my mother's cooking." Mu Wanwan said with a smile.
When Si Yuchen heard this, his face turned ashen instantly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he groaned in his heart.
During this period of time, he has been "tortured" by Wan'er a lot. Every dish he cooks can be called "dark cuisine", which is simply purgatory for the taste buds.
Every meal is like torture, but I still have to pretend to enjoy it. It’s so painful.
He subconsciously glanced at Mu Wanwan and Si Yuan, his eyes full of helplessness and resentment.
Si Yuan noticed the look in his father's eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems that the Queen Mother's cooking skills are a bit scary.
Gu Qingwan and Mu Wanwan didn't notice the two people's little movements, and walked happily in front. While walking, they were also discussing what dishes to cook tonight.
Si Yuchen sighed and secretly prayed that tonight's dishes would be a little more normal.
When they arrived at the palace, Gu Qingwan couldn't wait to go into the small kitchen to show off her skills. Mu Wanwan offered to help but was driven out by Gu Qingwan.
While Gu Qingwan was busy in the kitchen, Si Yuchen called Mu Wanwan and Si Yuan aside and said with a bitter face, "Wanwan, Yuan'er, no matter what the food tastes like later, you must give your mother face and don't show any disgust. Your mother will be sad. I beg you for this."
When Mu Wanwan heard this, she knew that her mother's cooking skills were probably not just bad. It seemed that she was too happy too early.
