Resisting the Wind and Splendor

After finishing a cup, Consort Yu was still not satisfied.

Zisu poured her another cup herself.

After Yufei finished drinking, she took the handkerchief that Granny Ji brought her and wiped her mouth.

She looked at Zisu: "Are you the maidservant that Ali brought with her from the Duke's mansion?"

“I am Miss’s maid, not part of her dowry,” Zisu replied.

Consort Yu paused for a moment, then looked at Chu Yueli.

Chu Yueli smiled and said, "Zisu has been by my side since she was a child, and I am used to her taking care of me. I heard that the Mo Prince's Mansion does not have a head maid, so I intend to train Zisu so that she can manage the internal affairs of the mansion for me when I am not around."

Upon hearing this, Consort Yu understood that this maidservant was only there to accompany the bride; she would not marry into the family and would not become the Prince of Mo's woman.

In other people's families, the maids who come with a dowry will eventually belong to the groom's family and can be molested and played with by men at will. These days, maids who come with a dowry have no freedom.

But Chu Yueli made it very clear that she was a head maid, not a dowry maid; their statuses were different.

Consort Yu didn't care about any of these things, but Zisu, the clever and skillful girl, immediately caught her eye.

"Master has good taste." She nodded, her gaze falling on the plates of snacks.

I don't know if it was because I used up too much energy when I lost my temper earlier, but now, smelling the unique aroma of the pastries, I actually have a strong appetite.

However, she still put on airs and deliberately put on a stern face: "If you want to please me, didn't you study my daily habits and eating habits beforehand? These are not what I like."

She was already angry, so of course she didn't want to forgive Chu Yueli right away. Seizing the opportunity, she naturally had to take the chance to make trouble.

Chu Yueli smiled and said, "Mother Consort is a Noble Consort in the palace. What can't she have on a daily basis? Actually, Mother Consort doesn't have any particular favorite food. After all, the Imperial Kitchen must remember what Mother Consort likes. Recently, they've probably been preparing her favorite food every day. She must be tired of it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Consort Yu's eyes flickered.

She didn't speak, but a glint of light flashed in the eyes of Granny Ji beside her, and she couldn't help but say, "After Your Highness returned to the palace, the Imperial Kitchen did indeed send over Your Highness's favorite foods every day."

Having eaten so many delicacies for so long, even she, let alone the Empress, would be tired of them.

These little snacks in front of me look so simple, but they smell so delicious.

After hearing that Consort Yu had arrived, Chu Yueli had already instructed Zisu to prepare in the kitchen.

These snacks, except for the Jade Face Cake, are all common foods eaten in ordinary households.

The method is very simple, and the ingredients are not complicated; they are all raw materials that can be found everywhere.

She picked up the steamed egg custard and offered it to Consort Yu: "Mother, please have a taste."

Consort Yu glanced at her, wanting to express her anger, but for some reason, the steamed egg custard had a sweet aroma.

For some reason, I just wanted to try it.

Finally, Yufei decided to eat her fill before continuing her tantrum, so she took the food and took a bite.

"Sweet?" And there's also a refreshing and cool feeling?

“It’s honey and fritillaria,” Chu Yueli explained. “When I served tea to Mother yesterday, I noticed that she had a cough, so I prepared this prescription. The egg white is just to enhance the flavor, and the honey and fritillaria, when combined well, are very good for the throat. Mother can try it more.”

Yufei glanced at her again and couldn't help but sigh: "You remember even the few times I cough. If I were to get angry with you again, I would be too petty."
