Chapter 200: The Sea King Cooks Personally
Lan Euan has classes every morning and afternoon, and can go home after finishing his daily homework around 4 p.m.
When it was time for dinner, Sang Luo went to Cheng'en Hall to pick up his son on time.
Zai Xin put away the documents and test papers on the table and said cheerfully, "Your Highness has been studying very hard these days and got full marks in the test assigned today."
Sang Luo pinched Lan'an's fair and tender face, and ruffled his soft blue hair, "My son is awesome!"
"Mom, I'm hungry~"
Xiao An opened his arms, and Sang Luo held him in his arms with some difficulty. As they walked out, he smiled and said, "What do you want to eat? Mother will cook for you personally. Congratulations to our little baby Lan An for getting full marks in the exam."
"My mother brought me osmanthus cake once before. It was delicious! Xiaoan wants to eat osmanthus cake!" he said sweetly.
"Osmanthus cake, let me think about how to make it. You need to prepare glutinous rice flour, rice flour, and fine sugar... I have everything in the space, so it's easy to make. But the glutinous rice and rice need to be soaked the night before. Can I make it for you tomorrow morning? I'll steam a bowl of crab roe and egg custard for you tonight to replenish your nutrition. You've been studying hard lately and your face has become thinner."
After Xiao An was weaned, he usually ate chopped fresh animal meat and dried fish. He had never eaten egg custard before, so he licked his lips and said, "I want to eat it!"
"Play with the building blocks for a while. Mother will call you when dinner is ready." Sang Luo carried him to the couch, took out a new set of building blocks for him to play with, and went to the kitchen.
"Your Highness the Queen is still pregnant, so let us do it." The servants were terrified when they saw that she had to do everything herself despite her bulging belly.
"It's just cooking an egg custard, it's no big deal, you all can leave." Sang Luo thought that he had to ask Lou Xianyue to set up another small family kitchen in the palace.
She took five turtle eggs to make the custard. They were a little smaller than chicken eggs, but should be enough to eat.
Lou Xianyue came back from the study after finishing his official business and didn't see Sang Luo. He went to Cheng'en Hall and learned that she went to the kitchen to cook. When he went over, he saw her standing on a small wooden stick and putting a bowl of prepared egg liquid on the steamer and covering it with a lid.
The sea creatures are huge in beast form and exceptionally tall and sturdy in human form, often over two meters tall. Sang Luo is not short, and she has grown a lot taller after her cultivation level increased, but she is not tall enough in the sea. The stove is a bit high, and she can just step on a small wooden stick to fit it.
Lou Xianyue's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He quickly went forward to pick her up and said angrily, "Just let the waiters do this kind of work."
"Xiao An said he wanted to eat crab roe egg custard, so I wanted to make it for him myself. If someone else makes it, it will definitely taste different from what my mother makes!"
"What's the difference in taste? If you don't tell him, he won't know." Lou Xianyue smiled helplessly and took over her work. "You take a rest aside, I'll do it."
"Then I'll help you." Sang Luo knew that he couldn't touch the stove, so he didn't force it.
Lou Xianyue tied up her long hair, took off her outer robe and handed it to Sang Luo. She tied her wide sleeves with a light blue headband as if she were climbing up her arms, revealing her slender white arms. She held the spatula and said, "Xiao'an, we're having crab roe and egg custard tonight. What do you want to eat?"
Sang Luo put his moon-white robe on the rack and said, "I heard from the servants that the warehouse has just caught some very plump eels. I have several bags of rice in my space. I want to eat eel rice tonight. It must be delicious... Can you cook it?"
She had never seen him cook, at most he would just grill some meat.
"I have seen."
“……”Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you must have seen a pig run, right?
Sang Luo looked at him with suspicion, and Lou Xianyue assured him with a smile, "It will definitely suit your taste. Help me pick some leaves."
Sang Luo prepared a seaweed salad, which she would eat with the eel rice later.
The egg custard was steamed quickly. Lou Xianyue opened the lid of the pot, waved out a stream of water, and placed the boiling hot porcelain bowl on the stove.
The golden egg custard, sprinkled with white and plump shrimp and crab meat, made Sang Luo cry with greed when she smelled it, "It smells so good! I want to eat it too!"
Lou Xianyue cooked two more bowls of egg custard, one for each person, because if they ate too much, they wouldn't be able to eat the main meal. Sang Luo sprinkled sea salt, chopped green onions, and soy sauce on the egg custard and brought it back to the hall.
Xiao'an likes egg custard very much. One bowl was not enough for him, so Sang Luo gave him the bowl that Lou Xianyue had.
He ate another half bowl, burped, and wanted to eat more.
Sang Luo was afraid that he would get sick from eating too much, so she took the bowl away and said, "If you want to eat, mom and dad can make it for you anytime, but don't eat too much at once and get sick."
Sang Luo had just finished his bowl of egg custard when Lou Xianyue finished preparing the meal and brought it over.
Sang Luo picked up a piece of shredded seaweed with chopsticks, took a bite of the eel rice with sauce, and his eyes lit up. It was unexpectedly delicious!
It’s not as good as Lan Cang’s craftsmanship, but it will definitely get better if you make it a few more times. She gives it an eight!
After the meal, the servants brought tea.
Sang Luo picked it up and took a sip, and soon he began to feel abdominal cramps.
Seeing her pale face, Lou Xianyue immediately detained the servant and took a sip of tea.
Someone has poisoned me!
"I'm fine." Sang Luo used purification to detoxify.
But the poison came from a strange place. Who gave it to her? Does she have any enemies in the Sea Palace?
Lou Xianyue's face looked extremely ugly. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing. He immediately conducted a thorough investigation. A few days later, he received news that it was the orcs whose property had been confiscated before who secretly murdered him.
The Sea Emperor's Palace changed hands twice in a short period of time. Those people thought that the Sea Emperor didn't have much time left and wanted to give it a try.
The power of these officials is so intertwined that it is not easy to eradicate them all in one go.
Lou Xianyue personally led people to conduct a thorough investigation.
"Don't worry, Sonny. Any ingredients delivered in the future will be strictly controlled. I'll taste them first before you eat them."
"Don't worry, take your time to check. I need to go back to the East Continent."
Lou Xianyue was nervous, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the East Continent?"
Sang Luo took out the jade message. Si Ye had sent her a message last night. The battle with the demon clan was over a few days ago. All clans had returned with their troops. It was a draw. The Eye of Guixu was sealed again by Fei Yuan, but he had been missing for a while and just came back last night.
She had received such a great favor from him, so she had to go back and see him.
"Then you go first. I'll come find you after I finish dealing with the Sea Palace."
"Okay." Sang Luo nodded.
The next morning, after Sang Luo made osmanthus cake for Xiao Lan'an, he said goodbye and returned to Fenghuang Palace, where he met Fei Yuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
His appearance became more gorgeous and his black hair was as smooth as silk.
Sang Luo originally thought that Fei Yuan would be weak and haggard after this battle and his personal efforts in sealing the seal, but she didn't expect to see him looking so radiant.
She stared hesitantly, "Are you...are you okay?"
"Hmm? Xiao Luo'er really hopes that something happens to me?" Fei Yuan glanced at her with his phoenix eyes, the corners of his eyes charming.
Sang Luo waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, it's best if you're okay. I hope you're okay every day!" She asked again, "It was you who sealed the Eye of Guixu?"
