What does that mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan explained with a smile, shedding light on her idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auntie Fu turned towards Princess Consort Dao, her face glowing with excitement. “Your Majesty, Madame Shao’s idea is brilliant! It seems quite workable. What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were discussing the challenge of preparing a thousand chickens and a thousand fishes, a test set by Qingdi to create difficulties. Madame Shao’s proposal was a fitting response—a tit-for-tat strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Consort was pleasantly surprised. She hadn’t anticipated such a creative solution from Qiao Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes brightened as she slowly nodded and smiled. “This idea seems plausible. Now, what about the other two dishes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan was equally prepared for the other challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Addressing the seemingly impossible task of creating a dish that was both cold and hot, Qiao Xuan suggested casually, “For the dish with contrasting temperatures, we can encase ice in a batter and deep-fry it. By serving it before the ice melts, we can achieve the effect of being both cold and hot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Consort: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auntie Fu. “….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Consort’s expression remained puzzled, and Auntie Fu struggled to hold back her laughter. “Madame Shao, what an ingenious idea! Truly remarkable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Consort, though she found herself admiring this unconventional solution, couldn’t help but voice a concern. “But can deep-fried ice cubes truly be considered a dish?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other challenges proved relatively straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the idea of deep-frying ice was initially incredulous, the skilled chefs, with well-mixed batter and quick execution, could overcome this obstacle. Ice was readily available year-round for the royal family, making it easily obtainable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qiao Xuan could elaborate, Auntie Fu voiced her discontent, “Your Highness, you are as benevolent and considerate as the Crown Prince, but Qingdi has crossed a line. Why should we engage in a fruitless argument with them? They’re clearly trying to create difficulties for us, and we shouldn’t be compelled to play by their rules. We have the final say in this matter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan silently concurred with Auntie Fu’s perspective. Princess Consort seemed to have been bound by excessive decorum for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment and realizing her limited options, Princess Consort reluctantly nodded and sighed, “Very well… you’re right. What’s your alternative, then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subconsciously, Princess Consort turned her gaze towards Qiao Xuan, indicating her belief that Qiao Xuan could resolve the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan, aware of the deliberate challenge thrown her way, wasn’t contemplating cooking techniques but rather how to outmaneuver Qingdi and leave no room for objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her approach to problem-solving was unique, and her intelligence shone brightly under pressure. Her train of thought diverged from the norm, yielding entirely different outcomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she possessed a rudimentary knowledge of cooking, which, coupled with her keen wit, allowed her to devise a creative solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a brief pause, Qiao Xuan’s lips curled into a sly smile as she declared, “Their demand is absurd. How can a cooked fish be alive? It’s not a matter of making things difficult; it’s a matter of shamelessness on Qingdi’s part!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely!” Princess Consort concurred with Qiao Xuan’s perspective, her tone resolute. “But even though we understand that, we must find a way to resolve this. The reputation of our empire is at stake, and the Crown Prince cannot afford to be seen as ineffectual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Crown Prince, he was expected to navigate and surmount any challenges that arose. There was no room for compromise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of contemplation, Qiao Xuan’s eyes lit up with determination as she said, “If Qingdi is resorting to such shameless tactics, we cannot simply acquiesce. I do have a plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>",625,"2026-06-03T12:01:03.776Z","2026-06-03T12:01:07.474Z",1,"novelbin.me","a712f5c33600c76bd4dafbe2e1da9975678159cb247ec9bea3ddd9ecdf7a28d8","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1330","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1328",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
