The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Jingze's wet nurse was also there. In the few days since she came to the Zhanwang Mansion, she had gotten used to the young lady's temper. She didn't have many rules, but she didn't spoil the young master.

We try to let the little master do many things himself, saying it's to train his self-reliance.

After serving the children millet and yam porridge, she and her three maids stood behind them. Normally, they didn't need to be served, but since the prince was here today, they couldn't let him find fault with them.

"Go down and eat! Come back and clean up after you've finished eating. Gao Chi, go and eat with the servants too," Jingxue instructed as she sat down.

Everyone bowed in unison and replied, "Yes!"

Ye Muchen looked at the six dishes and one soup on the table. He had eaten potato dishes in the past few days and thought they were alright. What impressed him the most was the rice. The rice was really delicious, much better than the tribute rice from Jiangnan.

But there were a few dishes on the table that he had never eaten before: stir-fried green peppers with pork, stir-fried pickled cabbage with glass noodles, garlic broccoli, and stir-fried bitter melon with eggs.

He had eaten chicken stew with potatoes and stir-fried cabbage with wood ear mushrooms, and he had also drunk radish ball soup.

Jingxue looked at the children and said, "Eat up!"

The children had just picked up their chopsticks and started eating when Ye Muchen watched them eat the noodle-like thing with great curiosity, but unfortunately, it was too far away from him.

At this moment, Runyue reached out and turned the round plate in the middle of the table, saying, "Yingying, would you like to eat a chicken leg?"

Little Yingying said with a grin, "I want some! But there are only two chicken drumsticks!"

“You and Xiaoze each get one, since you two are the youngest. It’s the same for An’an and me to eat chicken wings, right An’an?”

Jingze said, "Thank you, Sister Yueyue!"

After finishing her food, An'an said, "I think the potatoes in there should be delicious too, so you guys can have the chicken!"

Ye Muchen saw the plate of noodles that had been turned to face him and picked up a piece with his chopsticks.

The glass noodles wrapped around the pickled cabbage are slightly sour and smooth to eat!

"Your Highness, you have to slurp the vermicelli down properly, that's when it tastes best!" Little Yingying earnestly reminded Ye Muchen as he ate so elegantly.

The little girl's words almost made Jingxue spit out her food. She was reminded of the little girl on the internet in modern times who told her grandfather how to eat noodles.

Ye Muchen felt a little embarrassed when he met the children's gazes. It was as if a grown man like himself was being lectured by a child. He put down his chopsticks.

Looking at Jingxue, he asked, "What are these vermicelli noodles made of?"

"This is made of starch, which is potato starch. If dried starch noodles are kept in a dry and cool place, they can be stored for one to two years or even longer!"

Ye Muchen was surprised. "Really? Is it complicated to make these vermicelli noodles?"

"It's alright! I was even planning to build a vermicelli workshop on the estate!"

"That's great! The people will have another way to make a living. If you need anything from me when you build a workshop, just let me know!" Ye Muchen picked up his chopsticks and started eating again.

"Hmm! This dish is a bit sour, but it's very appetizing!"

Seeing him eating happily, Jingxue introduced the dish to him, saying, "This sauerkraut is made from Chinese cabbage. It can be eaten until spring, and you can also use it to make dumplings."

"Dumplings? What are dumplings? I've never eaten them!"

Leap Moon answered quickly, "It's a food made by chopping up pickled cabbage and mixing it with meat to make a filling, then wrapping it in dough like a gold ingot. You can boil it or fry it in oil. Miss, am I right?"

"Yes! Well said!"

Hearing Jingxue's praise, Runyue smiled happily.

Ye Muchen felt a little disappointed. He, a prince, was less knowledgeable than a child. However, he would know this if he came to eat here more often in the future.

Jingxue suddenly remembered something, "Ye Muchen, do you remember those ministers who pleaded for my father in court that day?"

"what happened?"

"We still need to express our gratitude for this favor. Although kindness is priceless, we can't just do nothing, and it's not something we can repay in one go!"

Ye Muchen was immediately pleased by the two "we"s in Jingxue's words. "That's no problem. It's not just about the things. In the future, if they need my help, I will lend a hand. I will write down the list for you in a moment."

"it is good!"

Ye Muchen was completely satisfied with the meal, and before leaving, Jingxue gave Gao Chi two lanterns.

Gao Chi also became familiar with the servants in the courtyard. The dishes they ate were the same as those in the main hall, and the servants in the courtyard were already used to it.

Ye Muchen and Gao Chi returned to Mingyuan Pavilion, which was separated from Jingning Garden by a courtyard.

Gao Chi said with lingering enthusiasm, "Your Highness, the food in the Princess's courtyard is delicious. What do you think about sending our cook over there to learn cooking skills?"

Ye Muchen tapped Gao Chi on the head. "You silly boy, is that the cook's fault? They say even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Didn't you see that the vegetables in her yard are ones you can't find in the market?"

Gao Chi shrank back and said regretfully, "Oh, then we can't go every day, sigh!"

Ye Muchen's lips curled up slightly. Opportunities are created!

Jingxue was in a good mood today because after lunch, she left Runyue with Lixia and went out by herself.

She went to the residence of the Minister of Personnel, found a secluded alley, and used her supernatural abilities to explore Wang Hansheng's house. She didn't look at what was on the ground, but there was a lot of gold and silver jewelry underground. After finding that no one was coming or going nearby, she put it all into her spatial storage.

After tidying up, she went into her space and looked at the several boxes that had been brought in today. Although they were not as many as those in Prime Minister Zou's house, they were much more than those in Li Wenqing's house.

The important thing is that there are several boxes of silver notes in his house. Jingxue counted them and found that there were a total of 300,000 taels.

Jingxue felt no guilt whatsoever after taking these things, because she was certain that they were ill-gotten gains. Especially since Wang Hansheng was the Minister of Personnel, who held the power to promote, evaluate, and appoint officials in the court, some things were predictable.

Every dynasty has its corrupt and honest officials, but Jingxue doesn't believe that an honest official would have hundreds of thousands of dollars in wealth buried underground.

The next morning, Jingxue prepared a lot of things, not gold or silver jewelry, but things that couldn't be bought on the market. Yes, things that couldn't be bought, because they hadn't been delivered to the general store yet. She sorted them according to the list Ye Muchen had given her the night before.

Boxes of various fruits filled a cart for each household. The servants were to summon the stewards, give him the lists, and have him deliver them to the residences of the Duke of Ningguo, the Duke of Anguo, the Minister of War, the Vice Minister of War, and the Minister of Works.

The steward took the list. "Your Highness, rest assured, I will take care of everything for you! The carriage is also ready."

The Prince's Mansion now has four carriages, including the one Jingxue bought for Jingze and An'an to use at the academy. She will also be taking a few children with her this time. She and Ye Muchen will not be in the mansion, so she feels at ease with the children not coming along.
