"I'm not sure about this, but since the Seventh Prince has said so, there's no reason for us to refuse." Wei Mingting said.
He was the Seventh Prince. If he opened his mouth and requested a family he wanted to dine with, that would be a great honor to that family. Would there be any reason to refuse?
Wei Mingting did not dare to do so.
“Why don't we let the cook in the mansion do it? Although the cook's cooking skills are average, she has been in the mansion for many years of experience, at least she won't make mistakes.” Yun Shi suggested.
“No.” Wei Mingting rejected Yun Shi's proposal, "If Xiumei doesn’t perform well, although the Seventh Prince will not be satisfied, he will not be able to blame her incompetence on the Wei family. This is his voluntary request; if the Wei family changes person in charge rashly, it would be interpreted as an act of deception and become a major crime.”
"But..." Yun Shi was still a little worried, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Otherwise, let Wanwan go help. Wanwan's snacks are very delicious. You and I both know it. At least there can be some protection."
"No matter how delicious the snacks are, they can't be put on the lunch table. Don't make a laughingstock of ourselves. Don't think about anything else, just follow the requests of the Seventh Prince." Wei Mingting decided directly, without giving Yun Shi more time to think.
Yun Shi then proceeded to inform the news of the arrival of a distinguished guest, asking everyone in the house to be prepared and to act carefully, so that nothing could go wrong.
In Wangmei Garden, Cuihe informed Wei Qingwan that Chu Lan was coming to Wei's house for lunch.
"Really? The Seventh Prince is coming to our house?" Wei Qingwan couldn't believe it.
His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince came to their house for dinner. It's a great honor!
"It's true. Madam ordered it. People have been sent to the market to buy fresh ingredients. Everyone in the mansion has been asked to pay special attention to this. There can't be any mistakes." Cuihe said confidently.
Mo mo Li came in and saw the excited and hopeful light in Wei Qingwan's eyes. Helplessly, she said, "Miss, although the Seventh Prince has arrived, you won't be able to see him. Boys and girls in the esteemed family won't sit together as they get older. The reason why young masters and ladies in this mansion usually have meals together is because our family member’s are still young, so we don’t have to follow the rules. When the Seventh Prince comes, he must abide by the rules.”
Mo mo Li's words seemed to pour a bucket of cold water on Wei Qingwan's head, extinguishing her longing just now and making her realize the facts.
“Mo mo..." Wei Qingwan looked at Mo mo Li with a worried expression.
Mo mo Li sighed and said, "Miss, you can't be so reckless in your future actions. I didn't follow you to the capital that time, which is why you made a mistake and were caught by Wei Qingruo. Before you do anything in the future, you have to ask me. I'll help you. Even if someone has to take responsibility, it has to be me, not you.”
“Mo mo, I know I was wrong. I will ask your opinion first in the future." Wei Qingwan said.
"That's right." Mo mo Li said.
"Then Mo mo, am I unable to do anything about today's matter?" Wei Qingwan asked.
“That's not necessarily the case. Although you can't see the Seventh Prince, Miss can prepare some of your signature pastries and have them delivered to the kitchen together. This approach is reasonable and gives you another chance to showcase your exceptional cooking skills,” analyzed Mo mo Li.
“Okay, I'll go to the big kitchen now and prepare osmanthus cake. At the same time, I'll tell the cook to bring over the pastries I made for lunch.”
