The maid chuckled. “Princess, you’ve never cleaned fish before, so, naturally, you’re not familiar with it. You’ll be fine if you try it a few more times.”
“Let’s begin then,” Zhi Shan pouted.
The maid took the knife and coughed dryly. She cleaned up the fish, but it didn’t look too good either. Fortunately, she finally cleaned it up the best she could.
In the afternoon, Zhou Ying thought about it and finally brought two sets of snacks and some tonics into the palace.
First, she went to the Grand Empress Dowager’s place to stay for a while and left some snacks before heading to Gu Wanning’s Phoenix Palace.
Gu Wanning, who had just received the news and rushed back, saw the mother and daughter and immediately welcomed them with a smile. “You’re just in time. I was just looking for you.”
“Oh, what is it?” Zhou Ying sat down.
At the same time, Guoguo went to play with Yangyang.
“It’s not a big deal. I just want you to help prepare some sea fish.
“After the selection, the Emperor will invite the Northern Continent and
Western Continent envoys to a banquet and officially confer the consort’s title.”
“Aren’t there royal merchants supplying it?”
“The imperial merchants don’t have any more stock this season. This isn’t the season for harvesting, so they can’t guarantee that they’ll be able to get anything.
“Does your restaurant have any? A hundred or so fish is enough.”
Zhou Ying nodded. Even if her restaurant didn’t have enough, there was still her interspace.
There were all kinds of seafood in her interspace, after all. She nodded and said, “Alright, leave this to me. How big of a fish do you want?”
“About two pounds. It’s hard to find if it’s too big, but it will look bad on us if it’s too small. Is one tael per fish enough?” Gu Wanning asked.
“It should be. I’ll send it over one to two days in advance. Get someone to prepare the ice cellar.”
“Alright. Just look for me when the time comes. By the way, I heard that Princess Jiarou has gone crazy. Do you know what happened?” Gu Wanning asked softly.
“I’m not too sure about that, either.” Zhou Ying shook her head.
There were no rumors on the streets, so she did not want to reveal how she got her news.
“No matter what, you’ve lost your most powerful opponent.”
“Indeed, one look, and you know Princess Jiarou came with bad intentions.
“On the other hand, Princess Zhi Shan is very lively and cute.”
“I came to you today, firstly to see you and, secondly, for the sake of Zhi Shan.
“She came to me this morning to learn how to cook fish and even gave me four ruby gems. You’d better tell the Emperor, as I don’t want to cause any misunderstandings.”
“You taught her?”
“I did. She came to me and begged me. Since she has a special identity, I really couldn’t refuse.
“As for whether or not to teach, how to teach, and to what extent, I need to confer on the Emperor’s opinion.”
“That’s true, but I doubt it’s a big problem. I’ll help you ask around later. I’ll give you a reply tomorrow morning.”
“That’s great.” Zhou Ying then lowered her head and asked, “How have you been recently? Are you alright?”
“I’m fine. It’s just that my legs were a little swollen at night, but I’ll be fine the next day after resting for a night.”
“You’re tiring yourself out. Try to walk less and soak your feet in hot water at night. If you suddenly feel uncomfortable, get Chunxi and the others to massage you.
“In addition, your belly is getting bigger now. Try to eat something lighter, and you’ll feel much better.”
“I’ll remember it.”
After that, the two of them chatted for a while. Gu Wanning also told her about the consort selection. The first round was easy. Basically, anyone who is healthy would pass.
The second round was much stricter. Of course, this round was also the cruellest, as the sabotaging among contestants had started..
