Oh, no. I just thought of another way to cook it. She then walked up to the hawker. Can you give me a few catties of chicken feet, sir? Dont worry, you can sell them to me for the price of roast chicken feet.

That particular dish was not popular here, so it would be difficult to get raw chicken feet.

The hawker widened his eyes, of course he would love to sell raw chicken feet for the price of roast chicken feet! He immediately asked, How many catties would you like?

Lu Liangwei thought for a moment, then said, Five.

The hawker agreed readily. Just a moment, miss. Ill get them ready for you.

Thank you. Lu Liangwei sat back down at the table.

The others stared at her in astonishment.

Why did you buy so much chicken feet? asked Yuan Xin curiously.

Lu Liangwei chuckled. If youre not busy today, why dont you have dinner with us at the coaching inn before going home?

Yuan Xin did not mind, but

You can cook?

I know a few homemade recipes. Lu Liangwei grinned.

Yuan Xin was astounded. Youre remarkable, Lu Er. She could make poisons, cure illnesses, and even cook!

Lu Er was always full of surprises.

Remembering something, she grabbed Lu Liangweis hand and said, I just remembered that the Emperors birthday is in two days, and Ill have to attend the celebration in the palace. Concubine Shangguans going to perform a dance in honor of the Emperor, but I

Lu Liangwei immediately understood her concern and rea.s.sured her, Shes just a concubine, and youre the princess consort; theres no need to compete with her. But she might try to ridicule you at the birthday banquet, so youd better prepare something as well.

Yuan Xin thought so too, which was why she was asking for ideas from Lu Liangwei. But I cant dance very well. That was her main concern, as there was probably no one in the entire capital city who could surpa.s.s Shangguan Lei when it came to dancing.

Then dont. Besides, there are plenty of amazing dancers in the palace. Itll be boring if everyone dances at the banquet, Lu Liangwei pointed out.

Then what should I do? Yuan Xin looked troubled. She detested Shangguan Lei and refused to be outshone by her.

Can you play the zither? asked Lu Liangwei.

I can play it fairly well. Yuan Xins face relaxed slightly.

From her reaction, Lu Liangwei could tell that she was a brilliant zitherist.

Then you should play the zither at the banquet, Lu Liangwei concluded.

But its not that different from dancing. Therell be plenty of young n.o.blewomen performing at the banquet, and most of them will choose to play the zither or dance. Yuan Xin was a little hesitant.

But youre better at playing the zither than dancing. Besides, all the dancers in the palace have gone through strict training. Do you really think you can outs.h.i.+ne them? Lu Liangwei arched an eyebrow questioningly.

Yuan Xins shoulders sagged. You have a point. But Shangguan Leis an exceptional dancer; Im sure shell stun the audience with her performance.

Lu Liangwei more or less knew what her intentions were, having sensed her desire to compete with Prince Ruis concubine.

I have a way to help you stun the audience and keep Prince Ruis attention on you. Just then, Lu Liangwei offered teasingly.

Yuan Xin blushed and averted her gaze in feigned annoyance. Nonsense! Who said I was interested in catching his attention?

You know the answer to that yourself. Lu Liangwei did not expose her either, and her expression grew serious. The birthday banquets in two days. Lets go back and start practicing right away, or there wont be enough time.
