She thought she would not escape punishment this time...
However, this time, Le Yao Yao not only avoided the punishment but also, because of the meal she prepared that morning, which turned out to be the most satisfying one the prince had enjoyed in days, Chef Li was allowed to stay, and the prince even rewarded each of them with a silver tael.
Holding that small silver tael, Le Yao Yao examined it from every angle, weighing it in her hand for quite some time. Dark Eyebrows frowned slightly, while Small Mouth pouted and sighed heavily.
"One silver tael? This prince is so stingy!"
What could one silver tael even buy?
Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's words, Little Muzi, who was sitting across from her, suddenly burst out laughing, spraying the vegetable soup he had just sipped all over the place. Fortunately, Le Yao Yao managed to dodge in time; otherwise, she would have been drenched in soup.
After all, she had just been splattered with saliva by the Chief Eunuch that morning and certainly did not want to be doused with soup during lunch!
"Little Muzi, what are you doing?"
After dodging, Le Yao Yao shot a fierce glare at Little Muzi.
At that moment, it was noon, and the servants of the prince's residence were taking turns eating in this dining hall.
However, due to the strict hierarchy of ancient society, even a dining hall was divided by rank.
For instance, someone as important as the Chief Eunuch held significant power within the entire residence, second only to the prince himself.
Every meal for the Chief Eunuch was enjoyed in his own room, and the food was exceptionally lavish!
Aside from the Chief Eunuch, there were several Stewards in the royal residence, each responsible for their own duties and managing a number of subordinates.
The Stewards dined in another room of the dining hall, where the food was also quite good.
There were fish, meat, vegetables, and even bone soup.
In comparison, the meals for others in the royal residence were rather mediocre.
Especially for Le Yao Yao and Little Muzi, who had only been in the royal residence for a month and were still considered newcomers.
Being new and at the lowest rank meant their meals were truly subpar.
A bowl of vegetable soup, two steamed buns, and a plate of so-called stir-fried vegetables with shredded meat—finding even a single piece of meat in that dish was nearly impossible.
As for rice, they could take as much as they wanted, as long as they weren't full.
Although the food at school hadn't been great either, compared to this, Le Yao Yao felt an overwhelming urge to cry.
Especially since her body was still developing; if she kept eating like this every day, when would her A-cup ever become a C-cup!?
And when would her short limbs finally allow her to grow taller?
She definitely didn't want to become short!
So, when the Chief Eunuch rewarded her with a couple of silver coins, Le Yao Yao felt it was pitifully little. Little did she know how many eggs and papayas that amount could buy to supplement her nutrition!
Unexpectedly, when this exclamation reached Little Muzi's ears, it triggered an excited reaction from him.
However, it was understandable. Le Yao Yao had just arrived and didn't understand the local market at all. She had no idea that for small eunuchs like them, a couple of silver coins was quite a generous reward.
"Xiaoyaozi, you didn't hit your head yesterday, did you!? Do you remember how much silver we received when we sold ourselves to come here?"
Little Muzi, sitting across from her, widened his eyes in confusion and exclaimed as he looked at Han Xitong.
Seeing Little Muzi's excited expression, Le Yao Yao leisurely sipped her vegetable soup and shook her head, replying honestly.
"I don't know!"
