Chapter 425 Royal Chef

When Shen Wan woke up from his nap, he heard that the Prince of Linjiang and Young Master Shen had made great contributions in saving Prince Ling and that the Emperor had rewarded them generously.

Shen Wan, “…???”

Chu Yang saved Xiao Huaijin, so it was normal for the emperor to reward him. How come Young Master Shen was also rewarded for saving the emperor?

Shen Wan had just woken up and didn't know about this yet. Xie Jingyu said, "The Wang family sent two groups of assassins, and each of them saved Prince Ling once."

Shen Wan, “…”

These three people are extremely lucky.

With Xie Jingyu supporting Xiao Huaijin, King Cheng would never be able to sit in that position. Saving the life of the future crown prince and even the future emperor is enough to ensure that Chu Yang and Young Master Shen will live a life of wealth and glory.

At this time, a maid came in and said, "Master and Consort, the Emperor has bestowed a royal chef upon Prince Ling..."

Shen Wan was surprised, but when he saw that Xie Jingyu didn't look surprised at all, he asked, "Did you know that the emperor would give the imperial chef to Prince Ling?"

Xiao Huaijin is the son that the emperor found with great difficulty. Xiao Huaijin asked the emperor to borrow the imperial chef. How could the emperor not reward him with one?

Xie Jingyu said, "It would be better to give him a royal chef position so that Prince Yuzhang and his men can have free meals with him."

Not to mention Prince Yuzhang and his companions, even Xie Jingyu was tired of the food at Deyue Tower.

Well, Xie Jingyu asked Xiao Huaijin to enter the palace to ask for credit for Chu Yang and Young Master Shen, which was actually secondary, because even if Xiao Huaijin did not enter the palace, Old Master Pei and Old Master Lin would also ask for rewards for the two of them.

If Xiao Huaijin goes there himself, he can not only ask for rewards, but also take the opportunity to ask for a royal chef. Why not do it?

But what Xie Jingyu didn't expect was——

The emperor not only gave Xiao Huaijin an imperial chef, but also gave one to Shen Wan.

Xie Jingyu felt the emperor's favor for Shen Wan.

What Shen Wan felt was that the emperor was very fond of Xie Jingyu.

emperor,"……"

Xie Jingyu, “…”

To some extent, this reward was wasted.

I don’t know how his wife saw that the emperor gave it to him as a reward. She thought she was blessed by him and could eat imperial meals every day.

Although the food cooked by the chef of Prince Jingbei's Mansion is delicious, it cannot compare with the imperial cuisine.

Shen Wan was so happy that he could eat imperial meals every day in the future.

When some are happy, some are angry.

Queen Song knew that the Wang family was worried that Old Tutor Lin would help Xiao Huaijin seek justice, so she sent two groups of people to intercept and kill Xiao Huaijin on his way, preventing him from entering the capital alive. However, all the people she sent never returned. When she wanted to send more people, Xiao Huaijin had already arrived in the capital. Not only did she lose the opportunity to take action, but the entire Wang family was also implicated.

Xiao Huaijin is the prince. Instead of looking for the real murderer, the Wang family keeps holding on to Xiao Huaijin. The emperor will no longer allow anyone from the Wang family to serve as an official in the court. If the Wang family commits some crime and is caught, they will face a catastrophe.

Queen Song was very angry at the people who saved Xiao Huaijin, but she didn't expect that the ones who saved Xiao Huaijin were the Prince of Linjiang and Young Master Shen who went to Jizhou to investigate the case!

If Xiao Huaijin died on the way to Beijing, how could he have the chance to return to his roots?!

They ruined the king's good deeds!

Queen Song's lips turned purple with anger.

Queen Song was already angry enough, and when she learned that the emperor had bestowed the position of imperial chef on Prince Ling, she became even more furious.

When the palace maids reported, they all hesitated, "The emperor not only gave Prince Ling a royal chef, but also..."

I dare not report it, but I cannot not report it.

Queen Song tightly grasped the handle of the Phoenix Chair, "What else?!"

The maid said stiffly, "The Emperor also gifted a royal chef to the Prince of Jingbei and his wife..."

The palace maids who served Queen Song and Princess Shouzhen all knew that Queen Song hated Xiao Huaijin, the prince who showed up out of nowhere and competed with Prince Cheng for the crown prince position, and she even wanted to kill the Crown Prince and Princess of Jingbei.

But the emperor especially dotes on these three people.

It would be fine if the Emperor gave Prince Ling a royal chef, after all, Prince Ling is a prince, but why would the Emperor also give one to the Prince of Jingbei and his wife...

Queen Song could no longer suppress her anger, and jealousy burned her internal organs.

Even Empress Song couldn't tolerate the emperor bestowing the imperial chef on Prince Ling, not to mention that the emperor rewarded Prince Ling while also treating everyone equally by rewarding Shen Wan, fearing that he would neglect his daughter.

The Crown Prince of Jingbei is the Emperor's daughter!

What about the Prince Cheng and Princess Shouzhen she gave birth to? !

Queen Song was so angry that she lost her mind and went straight to the imperial study to find the emperor. Princess Shouzhen was in the palace, so she didn't need to be rewarded with an imperial chef, but Prince Cheng had already set up his own palace, so Queen Song asked for an imperial chef on his behalf.

The emperor did not object to the concubines and ministers asking for rewards, but he did not like Queen Song's jealousy. She wanted everything that others had.

The Emperor was surprised and said, "If all the princes are given to the imperial chef, does the Empress want to make everyone in the palace starve?"

Now you know you can’t give away all of them?

Then why did the Emperor reward the Prince of Jingbei with a concubine?

If the emperor only wanted to reward Prince Ling, Queen Song would still be patient.

The emperor was unmoved, and Queen Song was helpless, but it was not only the emperor who could reward the imperial chef, but also the empress dowager.

Queen Song went to the Queen Mother to complain.

The Queen Mother bestowed a royal chef upon King Cheng.

Although they both had imperial chefs, the rewards given by the empress dowager could not be compared with those given by the emperor. The empress dowager could decide to give one or two imperial chefs, but the emperor had the final say on who would be given the throne.

Knowing that the emperor had bestowed an imperial chef on Prince Ling, Chu Yang and the others didn't eat much for dinner. They had to save their stomachs for the imperial meal at Prince Ling's mansion tomorrow.

The next day, the servants in Prince Ling's mansion were extremely busy.

Yesterday's dinner party was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and there was no time to invite anyone else. Today, I can't leave anyone out. The eldest son of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the prince of the Duke of Weiguo, and so many young masters from aristocratic families who helped him welcome his mother's coffin into the palace must all be invited.

The servant took the list and went to various mansions to invite people.

Xie Jingyu had nothing to do, so after breakfast, he accompanied Chen Wan to pay his respects to the princess, took a walk in the garden, and then went to Prince Ling's mansion.

When Xie Jingyu arrived, almost everyone was there.

Seeing Xie Jingyu coming, Chu Yang said, "Even you are here, why hasn't the Prince of Yuzhang come yet?"

They don't have much important work to do, so they have the most abundant thing, which is time.

The Prince of Weiguo hesitated to speak.

Xie Jingyu saw this and said, "He's in your hands again?"

The Prince of Weiguo, "..."

Nothing can be hidden from the Prince of Jingbei.

He was even a little afraid that the Prince of Jingbei was so smart that he was almost a demon.

The Prince of Weiguo said, "In my anger, I forgot he was coming to Prince Ling's mansion today, so I hit him a little too hard..."

Before the Prince of Weiguo could finish his words, the servant of the Prince of Yuzhang arrived and said, "Prince Ling, my Lord Prince asked me to tell you that he has a backache and can't get out of bed, so he can only come back for dinner another day."

Chu Yang looked at the prince of Weiguo, "Brother Wei is too cruel. The injuries from the last beating have just healed, and now he has inflicted new injuries, which are even more serious."

At least last time the Prince of Yuzhang could ride a horse, but this time he can't even get out of bed. As long as he can come, even if he is bruised and battered, the Prince of Yuzhang will come.

The Prince of Weiguo didn't want to beat the Prince of Yuzhang, but he couldn't resist the Prince of Yuzhang who was looking for a beating.

He had clearly ordered him to stay away from his sister, but not only did he turn a deaf ear to him, he even climbed over the wall to the Duke of Weiguo's mansion in the middle of the night. If he wanted him to leave unharmed, then the Duke of Weiguo's mansion would be too easy to talk to.
