During this time, Le Yao Yao expressed her gratitude profusely.
Behind them, Little Muzi wore a face of frustration and was on the verge of tears.
“Xiaoyaozi, why are you doing this? Didn’t you say before that you were an orphan? After leaving the palace, where else can you go?”
“Well, I haven’t thought that far yet! But, you know, things will work out when the time comes. Besides, I can’t just stand by and watch Brother Li get kicked out, can I?”
Le Yao Yao said this, but in reality, she had her own thoughts.
After all, staying by the side of that unpredictable prince meant her life was hanging by a thread. If she ever upset him, with just one snap of his fingers, her head would be on the line.
However, if she could leave this palace, she would be free and wouldn’t have to worry about when her head might be in danger.
Moreover, she didn’t believe that as a modern person from the twenty-first century, she couldn’t survive in ancient times!
So, if the dish she prepared didn’t suit that lord’s taste, that would be fine. If it did suit his taste, at least she could help Brother Li!
Thinking about it, no matter what happened, she wouldn’t be at a loss!
…
The Duke Rui's Residence was vast, and naturally, the kitchen was no small place either.
After all, the Duke Rui's Residence had thousands of palace maids and guards, not to mention those working outside the estate.
At this moment, it was noon, and the kitchen was bustling with activity. Everyone was busy with their tasks, each wishing they had been born with a few more legs to keep up with the demands.
When Le Yao Yao entered the kitchen, her beautiful eyes scanned the room lightly.
She saw that the counters were filled with various vegetables, fruits, and meats—chicken, duck, fish, and everything in between.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao pondered for a moment before suddenly recalling something. She turned to the anxious Chef Li beside her and said, "Oh, right, Brother Li, does the prince not eat much?"
"Yes, that's right. How did you know? I don't know why, but the prince is particularly picky about his food. So every day I have to come up with new dishes; I never dare to repeat anything. Moreover, I've heard that before me, there have been thirty-eight chefs in this residence!" Chef Li replied honestly.
Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's question, Chef Li began to see her in a new light. Previously, he regarded this young eunuch as just another person in the palace. However, at a crucial moment earlier, she had stood up for him. The more he thought about it, the more grateful he felt towards Le Yao Yao.
However, he was unaware that Le Yao Yao had her own motives for acting as she did. Of course, she would never reveal that to him.
After listening to Chef Li's words, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but be taken aback. It seemed that this living tyrant not only had a capricious personality but also had an exceptionally discerning palate.
However, it was no wonder. Born into the Imperial Family, she had eaten all kinds of delicacies since childhood. After so many years, she must have grown tired of them.
If that was the case, then today she would prepare some special dishes!
With this thought in mind, Le Yao Yao immediately rolled up her sleeves, revealing her delicate white arms, and began selecting ingredients, instructing Little Muzi and Chef Li to assist her in making the dishes she wanted.
As Le Yao Yao skillfully picked various ingredients, Little Muzi, standing nearby, asked with some confusion, "Xiaoyaozi, didn't you say before that you couldn't cook? How come you can today?"
