Zhuang Ruoyun first pulled up his sleeves and was about to fish out a fish from the big water tank in the corner.

Seeing this, Gu Zixiao hurriedly said, "Nuoer never eats fish."

Zhuang Ruoyun was stunned for a while, and quickly put it back: "Then I will release this fish later!"

Afterwards, she scooped up some pickled cabbage.

Gu Zixiao saw that she was busy in the kitchen, and the smell of fireworks and the bright candlelight overlapped, and Zhuang Ruoyun's dress shoulders seemed to be covered with a layer of velvet light.

She knocked a few eggs into the bowl and broke them neatly.

The side face is beautiful and gentle, and the beauty is incredible.

Gu Zixiao raised his eyebrows slightly, quietly admiring the fireworks and the beautiful woman.

Soon, Zhuang Ruoyun prepared two dishes and one soup.

She moved a small table and placed it in the courtyard.

Under the starry night, Gu Zixiao and Zhuang Ruoyun sat opposite each other.

"Your Highness, try it! These dishes are definitely not as delicious as the delicacies you usually eat, but I have confidence in my craftsmanship!"

Gu Zixiao sat upright, reached for chopsticks, and glanced at the dishes on the table.

Braised tofu with pickled cabbage, fried chicken with mushrooms, and umami egg soup.

A very ordinary home-cooked meal indeed.

He took a few bites, chewing it slowly.

Zhuang Ruoyun looked at him expectantly: "How is it? Is the taste okay?"

Gu Zixiao suddenly laughed.

Zhuang Ruoyun couldn't help being stunned.

What are you laughing at, Your Highness? Doesn't it taste good?

Gu Zixiao raised his steady eyes, but at this moment, there was a light smile lingering in his eyes.

It made his usual seriousness look much softer.

"Miss Zhuang, you gave me a wonderful experience."

"I never imagined that in the capital of Xili, you can eat the taste of Daqi's dishes."

"These dishes are authentic and authentic. They are the best meals I have eaten in the past few days."

In order to rush into Xili Kingdom earlier, he and the dark guards hardly stopped to rest.

It's like a march.

When you are hungry, you can make do with a bag of water and a bag of bread.

Zhuang Ruoyun listened to him nodding affirmatively, and finally his brows became smooth, and he also laughed.

Her eyes were clear: "Really? I really didn't expect to meet His Highness here, the fate is so wonderful!"

"Hurry up and eat, Your Highness, just treat it as if I will wash the dust for you."

Next, Gu Zixiao dined quietly.

It is the rule and self-consciousness of being a prince to eat without talking or sleeping.

Zhuang Ruoyun also stayed with him without speaking.

After eating, Gu Zixiao took the initiative to put away the bowl and seemed to help her wash it.

But Zhuang Ruoyun hurriedly stopped him: "His Royal Highness, this is unnecessary, you can leave it here, a few girls in my family will come to collect it tomorrow."

Gu Zixiao didn't force it, so he nodded calmly: "Alright, it's not early, let's go together."

Zhuang Ruoyun heard in a foggy voice: "Where are you going?"

"Aren't you going to release that fish?" he said.

Zhuang Ruoyun suddenly remembered, and she waved her hand: "I'll go by myself. Your Highness may have some important things to do, so I don't need to accompany you."

Gu Zixiao smiled: "My most important thing is to meet my sister, but isn't Miss Zhuang helping me?"

"So now, I have nothing to do, and it's okay to accompany you to release your life. If my sister finds out, she will be happy too."

Hearing this, Zhuang Ruoyun had no choice but to agree: "Then Your Highness, wait for me for a while."

She turned around and went into the kitchen, found a clean jar, and put the only fish in the big tank into it.

Afterwards, the two of them left the room together through the back door.
