Every few days, she would go to the Sichuan restaurant with her foodie dorm mates for a big feast. Fortunately, she had a body that never seemed to gain weight no matter how much she ate; otherwise, someone like her, a seasoned foodie, would definitely end up as a plump girl!
Le Yao Yao thought to herself as the tangy and spicy aroma grew stronger, and several familiar figures appeared before her.
Following Chief Eunuch was Brother Li, who had given her a braised chicken leg yesterday, along with Little Muzi.
Upon seeing Little Muzi, Le Yao Yao recalled that Little Muzi had mentioned working in the kitchen today. After entering, it was clear that Little Muzi had spotted Le Yao Yao as well.
However, Little Muzi merely glanced at Le Yao Yao before quickly averting her gaze. With her head lowered and an expression of respect mixed with caution, she approached and gently cleared all the dishes from the table before replacing them with freshly prepared dishes.
This time, the kitchen had made sauerkraut fish.
A large plate of vividly colored sauerkraut fish was presented, wafting with enticing aromas. In no time, the fragrant and spicy scent filled the entire room.
Le Yao Yao, already hungry, felt her stomach growl even more intensely at the delicious smell.
However, as she was currently serving others, she could only watch longingly and decided to hold off until lunchtime for a proper feast!
Le Yao Yao thought to herself while her nose eagerly sniffed the air, as if just inhaling the aroma could alleviate her hunger.
In contrast to Le Yao Yao, Leng Junyu merely cast a fleeting glance at the spicy fish on the table after the Palace Maid replaced the dishes. He slowly picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of fish, gently placing it in his mouth to chew.
The man's eating movements were so graceful, as if he had practiced them in front of a mirror countless times. Watching him, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but feel a moment of daze.
In contrast to Le Yao Yao's distraction, the others nearby felt their hearts leap into their throats with every action the man made while eating.
Especially Chef Li, who was already sweating profusely from fear.
After all, a single word from the prince could determine his fate.
Although he always maintained a high level of alertness while working in the royal palace, being cautious in everything he did, the benefits here were far better than those outside.
He had worked hard to enter the palace and relied on this generous salary to support his entire family. If the prince was dissatisfied with his dishes this time, he would have to pack his bags and leave.
Just as Chef Li was anxiously worrying, Leng Junyu, after lightly chewing a piece of fish, still wore an expressionless face. However, the jade chopsticks in his hand had already been set down.
"Dismiss everyone."
His soft words felt like a death sentence to Chef Li. With a startled 'thud,' Chef Li's round body collapsed onto the ground.
The once cheerful and smiling round face was now filled with despair.
However, this expression lasted only a moment. Soon after, Chef Li seemed to think of something and, like someone who had been injected with adrenaline, knelt before Leng Junyu, pleading incessantly.
"Your Highness, please give me another chance! This time I will definitely prepare dishes that suit your taste!"
Chef Li kept bowing and pleading, and Le Yao Yao could see the faint traces of blood on his forehead from the repeated knocks. He seemed oblivious to it all, but she understood the pain he was going through.
Little Muzi had mentioned that Chef Li had just welcomed a son last month, and all the family's expenses rested on his shoulders. If he lost his job at the Wang residence, his entire family would go hungry.
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but feel sympathy for Chef Li.
