With her hair still half-dry, Yin Qingyou went to the kitchen again. Fortunately, she had cooked some porridge that evening, which was still warming on the stove.

She opened the clay pot, and a fragrant aroma wafted out, so she covered it again.

Seeing that the fillings were all good, I made a basket of soup dumplings, served a bowl of porridge, and also prepared a cold dish.

It was placed on a tray and delivered to Ye Wuchen's study.

The shore, where the night is still, is quiet.

At that moment, he was resting his chin on one hand... it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Your Highness!"

Yin Qingyou placed those things in front of Ye Wuchen without any expression.

Looking at the steaming porridge, Ye Wuchen's stern expression softened slightly.

Seeing that Ye Wuchen was eating, Yin Qingyou didn't want to stay any longer and turned to leave.

"You think that just because I've seen you, you'll be with me from now on?"

There was only a faint sound, like the spoon hitting the rim of the bowl.

Upon hearing Ye Wuchen's words, Yin Qingyou was immediately stunned.

She suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Wuchen.

Although that sentence sounded very sincere, Ye Wuchen was much more casual about it at the moment.

They were just holding spoons, eating, and having a great time.

She followed him; he was Prince Chen, the emperor's most beloved son.

Even when her father was still alive, she was no better than a cook's daughter; now she's just a cook.

"I, a commoner, will not become a concubine!"

Yin Qingyou felt that His Highness really liked the food she cooked, and wanted to keep her by his side.

Indeed, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

Although, I never thought of winning him over through his stomach.

He was still firmly held in his grasp.

Saying "I won't be a concubine" in front of His Highness Prince Chen is tantamount to silently rejecting him.

After all, given her status, becoming the Princess Consort of Chen was completely impossible for her.

"it is good!"

Ye Wuchen slowly put down the spoon in his hand, looked at Yin Qingyou with deep eyes, and said this one word.

"..."

Yin Qingyou was completely stunned by his words.

Their social statuses were so unequal, yet he still agreed.

Now, even if I say it's okay for him to look at me whenever he wants, is that no longer acceptable?

Forget it, marrying Prince Chen... even though it's not within the scope of the mission.

Does this count as her completing the mission while incidentally winning over the male lead or a supporting male character?

The one saying this now is Prince Chen, and he probably can't make his own decisions either.

Thinking of this, Yin Qingyou calmed down.

"Qingyou, it's time for bed!!"

Prince Chen put down what he was holding and stood up.

"..."

Yin Qingyou, who had been quite calm, suddenly became flustered after hearing what Prince Chen said.

They just declared sovereignty over this place, and now they want to have the right to use it.

“Your Highness… um… I am engaged to the Ouyang family, and besides… this kind of illicit union without a matchmaker is truly against the way of the sages.”

Yin Qingyou was in a state of turmoil. She had originally intended to take advantage of Prince Chen's influence to quickly complete her mission.

After all, this case involves far too many things.

The ability to use someone else to do the dirty work is something the Ouyang family couldn't do; the person involved must be some high-ranking official in the imperial court.
