After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

As soon as Xue Chao entered the kitchen, the chef came up to him respectfully.

"Greetings, Mr. Xue. What instructions do you have?"

Xue Chao nodded slightly and said, "I'll cook some porridge."

The chef smiled and said, "What kind of porridge would you like to drink, sir? I will arrange for someone to make it right away."

Xue Chao shook his head: "I cooked it myself..."

Then, he reported a few ingredients to the chef.

The chef was stunned for a moment. What? Mr. Xue wanted to cook for him personally?

How could that be possible? Mr. Xue's hands were used to hold a pen, not a shovel.

The chef was about to persuade him again with a serious look on his face, but he saw Xue Chao walk past him and go straight into the kitchen. He easily found the ingredients he needed, picked out a few and prepared to wash them.

Seeing this, the servant beside him ran over quickly and said, "Sir, let me help you wash."

Xue Chao paused, but did not refuse. He smiled softly and said, "Thank you."

The servant was flattered and shook his head repeatedly: "This is what a servant should do. If you need anything else, just tell me."

"Mr. Xue, let me light a fire for you." said another servant.

Xue Chao nodded.

The chef's words of advice were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

Although it is said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, Mr. Xue is a distinguished guest and even a servant like him cannot stop him.

So the chef obediently went to help Xue Chao.

Qingyi Courtyard.

Fu Yunyao had just finished acupuncture and leaned weakly against the head of the bed. She smiled faintly at Doctor Liu who was sorting out the silver needles and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Liu."

"You are too polite, Princess. It is my job to cure illnesses and save lives." Doctor Liu said, "But acupuncture is only a supplement. Princess, you still have to take medicine and eat properly."

"Okay, I understand." Fu Yunyao sighed and nodded.

"Princess." At this time, the maid Qianyue pushed the door open and came in, holding a book in her hand: "This is what Wenfeng gave me. Mr. Xue heard that the princess liked Cai Yi's poems, so he found it for the princess."

Fu Yunyao's dark eyes lit up slightly, and she said in a weak but impatient voice: "Let me see it quickly."

Qianyue handed the collection of poems to Fu Yunyao.

Fu Yunyao gently stroked the cover of the book and opened it carefully, with a hint of joy on her pale face: "This is a collection of poems compiled by Cai Yi himself. His handwriting is unique and it is hard for Mr. Xue to find it. It's a pity that I am bedridden and cannot thank Mr. Xue in person."

She paused and looked up at Qianyue: "Is Mr. Xue still in the front yard? Qianyue, take that Duan inkstone to him and thank him for me."

Qian Yue bowed and replied, "Yes, Princess."

"Princess, please have a good rest. I'll take my leave first." Doctor Liu carried the medicine box on his back and saluted to Fu Yunyao.

Fu Yunyao nodded: "Qianyue, send Doctor Liu off."

"Doctor Liu, please!"

Qianyue made a gesture of invitation and sent Doctor Liu out.

Not long after, Qingtang walked into the room with a tray and saw Fu Yunyao reading a book: "Princess, reading is tiring, put it down and wait until you recover from your illness before reading again."

Fu Yunyao closed the book and said with a smile, "I suddenly got Cai Yi's collection of poems and couldn't help myself."

As she was talking, she suddenly smelled a fragrance and looked at the casserole on the table and said, "It smells good. What's being cooked in the kitchen?"

When Qingtang heard this, his brows were filled with joy.

Since the princess said it smelled good, she must have an appetite, so she quickened her hand movements.

She held the bowl and walked to the bedside: "Mr. Xue cooked chicken porridge, Princess, please try it."

Fu Yunyao paused and asked, "Is this the porridge cooked by Mr. Xue?"
