Wen Jin looked at the cook in charge with a slight smile, "The person who ordered you to do this is not very smart. I am making medicinal meals for the Queen Mother."
"If the Queen Mother blames her for not being able to make herbal meals due to lack of supplies, will I be the one who gets punished?"
Wen Jin smiled, led Caiju, and walked out.
"There are not enough ingredients here, so we go to the Imperial Kitchen. Let the people in the pharmacy send the medicinal materials directly to the Imperial Kitchen."
Wen Jin's steps are brisk and his attitude is relaxed and casual.
But the cook was frightened... Could it be that what Siqin meant was not the Queen Mother's? Didn't the Queen Mother want to make things difficult for the pregnant princess?
She won't be fooled by Siqin, right? If the Queen Mother was blamed, could she, a cook, afford it?
"The king...the princess stays!" The cook panicked and chased her out of the kitchen. "What do you think is missing? I told them to send it quickly..."
The cook saw Wen Jin stop.
I thought she was willing to compromise and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When she took two more steps forward, she found that... His Highness Prince Huai was blocking the princess's steps.
"I heard that you are making medicinal meals here. The small kitchen is very hot. It's not enough for you to make medicinal meals. You also have to be responsible for the meals?"
Xiao Yuchen frowned, looking like he didn't agree, "I'll go tell my grandmother, you just write the prescription to the palace people, why do you have to suffer the heat and pain here in person?"
When the cook heard this... her legs went weak.
Be good! Does this mean that Princess Huai is not favored? With King Huai's tone and demeanor, he wished he could hold her in his hands, right?
The cook broke out in cold sweat layer after layer... Aunt Siqin killed her!
Why is she so blind and trying to make things difficult for the pregnant princess?
"Yes! Whatever the princess wants to do, just tell the slaves. You don't have to do it yourself." The cook quickly bowed to make amends.
Wen Jin glanced at her sideways and said, "Don't bother. Food is in short supply here. It's troublesome to get it from the imperial dining room again and again. It's more convenient to go directly to the imperial dining room."
Xiao Yuchen frowned when he heard this, "There is a shortage of food?"
The cook's legs trembled.
"Yes... there are some medicinal foods, no, they are not commonly used, so they are missing..."
"If you don't often ask someone to get it from the imperial kitchen, why do you have to walk back and forth?" Xiao Yuchen frowned slightly.
"I've already gone there, but I never thought there was still something missing. It would also take time for the palace people to go back and forth. It would be more convenient for me to go directly to the imperial dining room." Wen Jin said.
When Xiao Yuchen heard this, he felt something was wrong. He lowered his eyes and looked at the cook, "Are you making things difficult for the princess?"
The cook's knees weakened and she knelt down, "No, I don't dare..."
Before he finished speaking, Gudong——
The silver ingot fell out of her sleeve pocket and rolled to Xiao Yuchen's feet.
The cook's face turned pale, it was over...
Xiao Yuchen raised his foot and kicked the silver ingot, "Don't you dare? I see, you are very brave! Who are you to arrange the work in the Imperial Grandmother's Palace?"
When the cook heard this, she was frightened.
She looked up at Xiao Yuchen blankly, no...she took the money to embarrass the princess, which was what she did wrong.
But Prince Huai directly said that she was someone else's work?
Isn't this fatal? !
"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me! This slave is not a trickster! This slave is so obsessed with her that she took the money and made things difficult for the princess..."
"I want to tell the princess not to come down. This slave is wrong! This slave deserves to die! But this slave is really not a meticulous worker! How dare you?"
The cook was so frightened that she kowtowed to Xiao Yuchen several times and slapped herself several times.
"Go and do your work. Just instruct them to do it. Don't do everything yourself." Xiao Yuchen said to Wen Jin, "If you need anything, just give instructions to the palace people. Don't be afraid of trouble. It's their blessing that the master is willing to use them."
The cook wanted to rush over and hug Wen Jin's legs to plead with her.
Xiao Yuchen knew it beforehand and kicked her away, "Take your dirty hands away! Is the hand you hold the money worthy of touching the princess?"
Wen Jin blessed Xiao Yuchen, turned around and returned to the kitchen.
She didn't take the cook's troubles to heart at all.
The emperor must be happy to let her use the imperial kitchen, after all, it is his mother who makes the medicinal food.
And the emperor liked the cold drink she made last time. The worst thing is, just give him a dish.
Xiao Yuchen did not let go of the cook so easily.
He is racking his brains to think about how to win back Wen Jin's heart... He hasn't figured out a way out yet!
There is always this short-sighted servant who is always a stumbling block for him!
"Whether you are careful or not, you can tell yourself in front of the emperor's grandmother!" Xiao Yuchen asked the eunuch to come forward and take the person into custody.
The cook knelt and crawled to his feet, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, my slave is stupid and has been deceived!
"How dare I make such an opinion? It was Aunt Siqin, the eldest maid next to the Queen Mother, who gave the order to remove the ice basin sent by the Queen Mother and to slap the maid.
"Whatever the princess wants, don't give her anything, and make things difficult for the princess for a while... The old slave thought that Aunt Siqin meant what the Queen Mother meant...
"I'm really not careful! I don't dare to betray the Queen Mother! My lord, please spare my life!"
The cook burst into tears and slapped herself a few more times.
These slaps were so loud that she really wanted to wake herself up... Why was Siqin so obsessed with her?
"Is it Lu Siqin again?" Xiao Yuchen snorted coldly, "Very good."
He kicked away the cook and strode towards the main hall of Renshou Palace.
When Lu Siqin heard that Xiao Yuchen had left and returned, she felt both uneasy and a little expectant.
Wen Jin was in the kitchen, covered in smoke and smoke, greasy and smoky.
I look fresh and clean... Prince Huai can tell which one is ugly and which one is beautiful at a glance, right?
Lu Siqin was so proud that she spread scented powder on her neck and waited on the corridor outside the palace.
Seeing Xiao Yuchen striding towards him, she immediately greeted him.
"I have met His Highness Prince Huai... The servant girl went back and thought carefully about His Majesty's words.
"What the prince taught me was that my servant was just wishful thinking... But when I was young and outside the palace, I saw the prince riding a horse and shooting.
"The figure of the prince has been deeply engraved in my heart. I cannot forget it if I want to..."
"I don't want to be able to serve the prince forever, but I want..."
Lu Siqin had prepared an affectionate confession, but she hadn't finished it yet.
She suddenly realized that the tall and majestic figure had avoided her and strode towards the main hall.
He snorted coldly, even with some disgust and murderous intention...
Lu Siqin was stunned in embarrassment. Did he not hear her confession?
How could he be so blind to himself?
Lu Siqin clenched her fists. She had been ignored and humiliated more today than she had been in the previous ten years combined!
"I don't believe it. I can't compare to Wen Jin! She can still win the heart of King Huai. Sooner or later, I will make King Huai bow to me!"
…
Xiao Yuchen came to the main hall.
The Queen Mother had just come back from the garden. She was sweating.
She used to hate the sticky sweat on her body, but today she feels transparent and comfortable!
She didn't know whether it was Wen Jin's medicine that had taken effect, or whether her words had entered the Queen Mother's heart. The Queen Mother just felt that she had never been in such a good state in recent years.
"Chen'er is here? The Ai family was about to tell you that they would ask Princess Huai and Yu'er to stay in the palace for a few days..."
Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, Xiao Yuchen had a sullen face, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Grandmother, please forgive me, but please ask Jin'er to go back to the house. Some people are preventing my husband and wife from fulfilling their filial piety to our grandmother, and are trying to instigate a conflict between my husband and the Queen. Grandma relationship.
"It can be explained once or twice, but if there are many misunderstandings, it will inevitably damage the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren."
The Queen Mother was startled and looked sideways at Aunt Gong, "What's going on?"
