Chapter 70

She sat down and picked up the bowl to eat.

The rice and vegetables were eaten clean, but the fish soup was not touched.

"Why don't you drink soup?"

"Return to Your Highness, this is against the rules." Yun Dai said respectfully.

In the palace, the servants who serve others cannot get dirty.

Zhao Yuanjing felt a little bored when she saw that she was always respectful to him, without any overstepping.

He stood up and said, "Sleep early, my master is going back."

He is leaving.

Yun Dai felt unaccustomed to being so straightforward, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, is this just to deliver food to the servants?"

"Grandpa came to see you, just look at it."

Zhao Yuanjing grabbed the fan and left.

There is no nostalgia.

Looking at his back, Yun Dai thought, this master's mind is really hard to understand.

Is he trying to prove that he won't ask her to pay back because he helped her?

In his capacity, there is really no need to be like this.

Yun Dai breathed a sigh of relief and went to sleep peacefully.

The next day was the Empress Dowager's birthday, and there was a big banquet in the palace.

Yun Dai also went to the Imperial Dining Room to help out, specializing in vegetarian meals.

The empress dowager worshiped the Buddha and fasted for many years.

The queen mother doesn't eat much, and the dishes are easy to cook.

After finishing, Yun Dai stayed alone in the corner to rest, and she couldn't just go back like this. Of course there is no food or drink.

They are all busy with birthday banquets, how can they take care of the palace people.

Yun Dai was watching several imperial chefs stew, when she saw a servant in the East Palace running over, and whispered: "Miss Yun, my master asks you to bring some tea over."

"Where is Your Highness?"

"It's resting in Ci'an Palace, I'll take you there." The servant said.

Yun Dai went to make a pot of tea and followed the waiter.

Zhao Yuanjing was indeed worthy of being a prince, with so many nobles coming and going in Ci'an Palace, he could still occupy a room to rest by himself.

It is called rest, but it is actually drinking medicine.

He drank medicine three times a day, and he didn't know what he was drinking.

Just smelling it hurts like hell.

After Yun Dai went in, he pointed to the food on the table: "Eat."

Yun Dai saw that it was very rich, and it should be for him.

"Your Highness won't eat?"

"I'm going to the banquet later." Zhao Yuanjing sipped the medicine, frowning slightly, "It's very bitter in my mouth, I really don't have any appetite."

Yun Dai listened, and sat silently over to eat.

She ate a bowl of rice and a plate of mushrooms, drank a glass of water, stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

"Go." Zhao Yuanjing waved his hand.

Yun Dai glanced at the soup in his hand, and withdrew.

After the birthday banquet was over, everyone in the palace received rewards, but Yun Dai still went back to work in the East Palace kitchen.

In the next few days, Yin Yuanshou went to give Yan'er an injection on time, and Yan'er's illness recovered quickly.

Yun Dai was relieved a lot.

And Zhao Yuanjing never looked for her again.

She was serious about cooking and didn't put any medicine in the dishes and soup, but Zhao Yuanjing didn't ask her to deliver the food, and didn't take the initiative to come to her.

It's like completely forgetting about her.

Concubine Chen and Lin Fengyi searched for a few days, but found no clues, and the crown prince's work and rest returned to normal, so they gradually forgot about it.

Half a month later, the weather has become hot.

The Empress Dowager felt ill due to heatstroke, and she didn't want to eat or drink. She suddenly missed the soup made by Yun Dai, so she ordered someone to call her over to cook.

Yun Dai earnestly made a light and appetizing soup, and added some medicinal materials to improve qi and dispel heat. After eating it, the queen mother quickly regained her spirits.

Even the emperor heard about this, and specially asked someone to admire the small kitchen in the East Palace.

The queen mother became happy, so she ordered someone to call Yun Dai to her, and said a few words to her.

Yun Dai was well-informed and knew the old man's thoughts, so she picked up some witty words, which made the Queen Mother feel good, and personally rewarded her with a pair of transparent jasper bracelets.

When Yun Dai walked out of Ci'an Palace with the bracelet in her hands, a group of people came towards her, and two gorgeously dressed little girls were surrounded by them.

Although Yun Dai didn't know them, she knew they were probably princesses or something, so she leaned to the side and waited.

Unexpectedly, one of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls in red suddenly called out to Yun Dai: "That slave, what are you holding in your hand? Why does it look familiar to me? Could it be that you stole it?"
