She came here with a thick face this time. If she can't be captured in one fell swoop, it will not be so easy to enter the palace in the future.

It is impossible for her to follow Li Hongting in every time.

"This girl is not only good at farming, but she also likes to study food. When my grandson was in Wanning Prefecture, he became so picky about food."

Ye Shian glanced at Li Hongting with gratitude, then immediately looked away.

"Oh, really?" His Majesty became interested.

"Why not let this girl cook a few side dishes for the Royal Grandmother to try?"

"Okay, I've had enough of the imperial chef's food."

Ye Shian happily accepted the order: "I will prepare it right away."

Following the palace maid to the imperial kitchen, Ye Shian carefully asked the empress dowager about her dietary preferences. He learned that the empress dowager had a light diet...

It was not until the afternoon that Ye Shian followed Li Hongting out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom!

Ye Shian bowed to Li Hongting and thanked him: "Thank you, Second Prince!"

If it weren't for Li Hongting today, she would have no chance to meet the Queen Mother, let alone make her happy!

Li Hongting raised his eyebrows: "Just one sentence?"

"Then how can the Second Prince thank me?"

Li Hongting walked away without saying anything, and Ye Shian followed behind him: "I am too stupid to guess what the Second Prince is thinking. If the Second Prince wants me to do something, just ask me directly!"

"Let's leave the palace first!"

In the carriage, Ye Shian glanced at Li Hongting carefully. This man was really difficult to please. He didn't know what he said wrong, but he had a cold face.

"How does it feel to live in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Very good!" Ye Shian responded indifferently.

"Looks like I can still handle it."

"It's nothing we can't handle. At worst, we can just go back to where we came from."

"If you need me to intervene, you can speak up."

"I dare not trouble the Second Prince with such a trivial matter."

The conversation ended here, and the carriage just swayed quietly all the way to the gate of the marquis' mansion.

"Master, we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion."

Ye Shian was shocked. How did he get to the Marquis' Mansion so quickly?

"I, I won't go back to the Marquis' Mansion."

She didn't want to be seen by the people in the Marquis' Mansion getting off the Second Prince's carriage.

Li Hongting glanced at her, and she quickly explained: "Nanxing, I'll go pick her up."

"Walk."

As soon as Li Hongting finished speaking, the carriage slowly moved forward...

In the courtyard where the Ye family originally lived.

Nanxing was sitting alone under the eaves, she was squatting there with her arms folded, feeling quite desolate being all alone.

Seeing her like this, Ye Shian suddenly felt guilty: "Nanxing."

Nan Xing looked up at Ye Shian, her eyes red: "Ye Shian!"

"I'm here to pick you up."

"Wow……"

"I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"No, I just went to the Marquis' Mansion to see what was going on."

“Wuwuwu, you just don’t want me anymore. You took everyone away but me. Wuwuwu…”

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry, I'm here now."

Nan Xing couldn't stop crying, so Ye Shian used his trump card: "Stop crying, or you won't have time for dinner."

This sentence worked so well that Nanxing stopped crying: "Do I have food to eat too?"

Ye Shian nodded quickly: "I'm here to pick you up."

Nan Xing wiped her tears and stood up from the ground: "Let's go."

Seeing her relaxed tone and bright smile, Ye Shian suspected that he was hallucinating just now.

Hou Mansion

When it was time for lunch in the morning, Nanny Zhang went to the small kitchen to prepare dinner.

The people in the Marquis' Mansion only eat together on the first and fifteenth days of the month. They usually eat in their own courtyards, so there is a small kitchen in each courtyard!

Aunt Zhang went into the small kitchen, looked at the fresh vegetables and meat, and was thinking about what to cook!

Hers was a small green vegetable, and the cook beside her immediately came over and snatched the vegetable from her hand!

She didn't say anything and reached out to take the meat again. This time, before she even touched the meat, the cook snatched it away!

"what do you mean?"

Nanny Zhang didn't understand the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, so she asked patiently.

The cook said in a bad tone: "Do you understand the rules? These are all for the young lady to eat. How dare you touch them!"

Aunt Zhang still said to him in a gentle voice: "I didn't move. I was just cooking for the young lady!"

The cook snorted disdainfully, "Ever since the young lady married into the Marquis's mansion, I have been the one cooking for her. How come I didn't know that the young lady had another cook!"

"You misunderstood, I'm not cooking for Madam Dong, I'm cooking for Madam Yu!"

"What has Madam Yu not heard of?"

"Hey, you man!"

The cook pushed Aunt Zhang away and said, "Get out of the way! Don't delay me from cooking for the young lady!"

Nanny Zhang staggered after being pushed. She was angry, but when she thought about the difficult life of the Ye mother and daughter in the Marquis' Mansion, she did not dare to lose her temper!

She walked out of the small kitchen angrily. Seeing her, Ye Xianchun couldn't help but ask, "Mammy, what's wrong? Aren't you going to cook? Why are you coming out angrily?"

"You have to do the cooking, you can't touch this or that. I can't cook this meal!"

Ye Xianchun raised his eyebrows. This is easy!

There is a saying that little ghosts are difficult to deal with. She is not interested in dealing with the people below. The most direct and effective way is to find the hostess of Tingzhuyuan!

Dong Xuaner saw Ye Xianchun coming and greeted him with a smile: "Xianchun is here. Good luck!"

Ye Xianchun didn't sit down. She went straight to the point: "Mrs. Dong, I came here because I want to talk to you about something!"

"What's the matter? Just tell me!"

"The people in the small kitchen don't allow us to use the ingredients to cook. Did you know that?"

Dong Xuan'er pretended to be surprised: "There is such a thing?"

"It seems that Madam Dong doesn't know!"

Dong Xuaner nodded: "I really don't know about this!"

"Then can we use the ingredients from the small kitchen?"

"Of course you can!"

"Okay, in that case, please ask Madam Dong to explain it to the people in the small kitchen in person!"

"Okay, I'll have someone explain it to the people in the kitchenette later!"

"No need to go through so much trouble. He's already outside the door. Madam Dong can just tell him directly!"

After that, she shouted loudly toward the door: "Come in!"

Then in came the cook!

There was a moment of embarrassment on Dong Xuaner's face, but she soon returned to her hypocritical smile!

"This is Ye Xianchun. She will live in our Tingzhu Garden from now on. They can use the things in the small kitchen!"

The cook looked embarrassed: "Young Madam, you don't know that each of our courtyards has a fixed monthly quota. Now that so many people have come, our courtyard really can't afford to support them..."

"How could this happen? Did you report this to the Madam?"

"I've already said that, but the lady won't give me more money, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

Dong Xuaner was in a dilemma: "What should I do?"

She hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't let my sister and the children go hungry. If I do, the extra money will be deducted from my dowry."

"In that case, thank you, Madam Dong!"
