Chapter 11
"Nanny Mo, what happened to you?! Why do you look so bad? Did you not sleep well last night?"
Su Qingyi looked surprised at Nanny Mo's appearance, which looked very ugly while she's cooking in the kitchen. She had thought that she's been approached by a ghost. Fortunately from Nanny Mo's body, this young woman did not feel the Yin-qi so she knew that the person approaching her was still human. But, looking at Nanny Mo's looks she almost can hold her scream, very embarra.s.sing.
Nanny Mo looked embarra.s.sed at the question from her young mistress. She woke up a bit late and realized that w.a.n.gfei had woken up and was busy in the kitchen so she didn't have time to tidy up her face which must have looked bad due to lack of sleep last night. She was very worried about w.a.n.gye's response to last night because of her young mistress's refusal.
"It's nothing, w.a.n.gfei. This old maid only had a lot of thoughts overnight so it was difficult to sleep, maybe because this maid was already old so it was easy to worry. w.a.n.gfei doesn't need to worry."
"Alright then. Nanny Mo, you are getting old, you better not worry too much. It's not good for your health. This w.a.n.gfei wants you to live long."
"This old maid will obey w.a.n.gfei's orders. This maid will take care of her health, so she can serve w.a.n.gfei even longer."
Su Qingyi smiled faintly at the response of the old maid who had served her for a long time. She likes this middle-aged woman because this woman cares about herself without asking for compensation. This old maid takes care of her like her child, make her feels close to the maid.
"Nanny Mo, can you find out if w.a.n.gye has woken up and if he interested in having breakfast with me?"
"Yes, this old maid will find out."
Nanny Mo was about to send one of the young eunuchs to fulfil the orders of her young mistress when one of the eunuchs who worked at w.a.n.gfei's residence hurriedly walked into the kitchen.
"w.a.n.gfei, w.a.n.gye came looking
"Oh, I just wanted to bring breakfast to w.a.n.gye's place again so this w.a.n.gfei could take him to breakfast together. This w.a.n.gfei didn't think that w.a.n.gye would come to the Hongmei Courtyard."
Glancing at her maids, Su Qingyi told them to bring the breakfast she had finished making to be taken to the dining room. Her husband must have been impatiently waiting for her cooking so he immediately came without being sought. Unexpectedly, w.a.n.gye is a connoisseur for foods. But, it's good maybe by doing all this, w.a.n.gye will be nicer to her. She did not need w.a.n.gye to love her so much if her husband could care, and act better as a husband. All of that was good enough for Su Qingyi to be able to live comfortably.
Yu Fengyao headed straight to the Hongmei Courtyard after doing morning exercises and cleansing himself of sweat. He did not think that his body was moving without realizing when thinking about breakfast. His body took him to the residence of his wife, who was now not far from the Zhending Courtyard; his private residence.
When he arrived at the Hongmei Courtyard, his feet immediately took him to the dining room. Butler Chen witnessed his behaviour and immediately sent one of the young eunuchs to tell w.a.n.gfei about w.a.n.gye's arrival for breakfast with his wife while swallowing his surprise.
Yu Fengyao paused waiting on the dining bench when he received a notification that his wife was cooking by herself in the kitchen. The young prince threw a glare at Butler Chen hearing that his wife worked alone in the kitchen. This charming man did not think that Butler Chen had not sent kitchen a.s.sistants and Chef to his wife's private residence.
"Forgive this old eunuch, w.a.n.gye. This eunuch will send kitchen helpers as soon as this eunuch has gathered people."
"If the people you want to send here wants to refuse, this prince's place doesn't need them. You can dispose of them."
Butler Chen did not think that w.a.n.gye could guess the reason why he still could not send kitchen helpers to w.a.n.gfei's place. Indeed, as w.a.n.gye suspected, Butler Chen had already tried to gather people to help with the kitchen where w.a.n.gfei was, but they mostly refused to serve w.a.n.gfei's place because they a.s.sumed that w.a.n.gye did not care about his wife.
Seeing w.a.n.gye's treatment now, Butler Chen could use w.a.n.gye's words to suppress the protests of the people he would send to help w.a.n.gfei's kitchen. This is a very good chance. Using w.a.n.gye's approval, he could use w.a.n.gfu's punishment if they still refused Butler Chen's orders to help w.a.n.gfei's place. Before w.a.n.gye issued this statement, Butler Chen could have suppressed them, but this could cause a lot of displeasure from the servants he would be forced to send.
"Alright, this old eunuch will do what w.a.n.gye wants as soon as possible."
"Good, this prince wants you to immediately send kitchen helpers today. Get some good kitchen helpers for w.a.n.gfei. This prince does not want w.a.n.gfei to be too tired with kitchen business."
"Yes."
Yu Fengyao waited a while to have breakfast with Su Qingyi. Before long, before seeing the arrival of w.a.n.gfei's entourage, Yu Fengyao could smell the food's scent that seemed to pervade his body.
A young woman in purple-violet robe walked into the dining room door along with some of her maids carrying many ceramic plates filled with food. The fragrance of the food they brought made Yu Fengyao want to drool. Fortunately, as a prince, he used to have a flat and cold face. Breakfast brought by his wife's private maids was immediately arranged at the dinner table. All dishes are still warm and spread the fragrance that invites tastes. Su Qingyi this morning made vegetable spring roll, fish porridge, shrimp dumpling. She also makes warm soybean milk.
Seeing all the food on the dining table, Yu w.a.n.g glanced at his wife who immediately sat facing each other at the dining table. Su Qingyi immediately brought him porridge and gave him cutlery. Yu Fengyao accepted the bowl and cutlery that his wife had given him without further ado. He immediately enjoyed the food there. This married couple enjoys breakfast without speaking because each does not know what can be said at the dinner table.
