Chapter 34: Concubine Yu's Brother



Gu Yanyue was not happy when she returned to the palace. It had been several days, but she still hadn't found a suitable chef. It was so frustrating.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu invites you to her palace to taste tea. She said the Emperor has given you a gift of fine tea and specially invited you to come and taste it with her."

Gu Yanyue agreed.

She didn't like tea, and the tea was originally given to her, but she didn't like it, so she asked Yu Wenran to give it to Concubine Yu.

In this way, everyone will know that Yuwen Ran remembers Concubine Yu, and warn those tactless people to stop provoking Concubine Yu.

At the same time, it also lets Yu Fei's mother's family see that the royal family is still good to the concubine.

"Let's go." Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Gu Yanyue moved to where Concubine Yu was.

"Sister, you're here." After a few days of getting along, Concubine Yu was no longer restrained. She came up and took Gu Yanyue's hand. "Sister, His Majesty gave me some tea, and I specially invited you to try it."

"Okay." Gu Yanyue sat down with Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu ordered the people around her to bring some small snacks. "Sister, try these cakes first. Tea will be served soon. These cakes are small things that are not available in the palace."

Gu Yanyue looked at the pastries served and found them to be indeed exquisite. She tasted one and found it to be very refreshing.

It can be seen that the person who made this pastry has some skills.

Gu Yanyue had an immature idea in her mind, so she decided to take the opportunity to ask Concubine Yu who made the pastry.

With this man's level, he is fully qualified to be a chef in his own restaurant. However, just as he was about to speak, Concubine Yu took the lead.

"You look so worried, sister. If you have any worries, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you."

Gu Yanyue originally wanted to ask Yu Fei, but didn't know how to start. Now Yu Fei spoke first, and Gu Yanyue no longer cared about anything else and started talking about the troubles she had encountered recently.

"So that's what's bothering you, sister." She smiled and suddenly asked, "What do you think of this cake?"

"The pastries are well made." Gu Yanyue nodded and praised.

Concubine Yu smiled. "Sister, you are in need of a cook, right? How dare I recommend someone to you?"

"who?"

"My sister's younger brother." After a pause, "He made this pastry."

Gu Yanyue was overjoyed. This was really something that was obtained without any effort. She had been looking for it everywhere and didn't expect to find it this time.

"Sister, you have helped me a lot." Gu Yanyue was really grateful to Concubine Yu at this moment. These things had been bothering her for a long time.

Sure enough, the next day, Concubine Yu got Yuwen Ran's permission and brought her younger brother into the palace. The boy's name was Yu An.

Yu An looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, and is a little shy. When he sees Gu Yanyue, he doesn't even dare to raise his head. However, when talking about cooking, he becomes very confident and talks to Gu Yanyue. Gu Yanyue can see that Yu An is really talented in cooking.

Yu An was arranged to cook a dish. After tasting it, Gu Yanyue praised it highly and once again felt that this young man really had a talent for cooking. In time, this young man's cooking skills would surely be unmatched.

"Yu An, you should go to work at the restaurant tomorrow." Gu Yanyue touched Yu An's head.

"Really?" Yu An couldn't believe it. He liked cooking, but no restaurant had ever wanted him to cook. His father also thought it was shameful for him to do this. After talking with Gu Yanyue today, he realized that there were really people who appreciated his cooking.

"Of course it's true. I'll give you two taels of silver a month. What do you think? If it's not enough, we'll add more." Gu Yanyue always paid high wages.

"That's enough. Thank you, Her Majesty." Yu An hurriedly thanked Gu Yanyue and couldn't help but feel that she was really his mentor.

"Okay, someone will take you to work at the restaurant tomorrow. Have a good rest today." Gu Yanyue encouraged the young man.

After seeing Yu An off, Yu Fei didn't know what to say to Gu Yanyue to express her gratitude to her. She was very grateful to Gu Yanyue for giving her brother such an opportunity.

"Sister, thank you for giving Yu An this opportunity."

"What are you thanking me for? This is what Yu An deserves. I'm going to the restaurant tomorrow to check it out. If the dishes he cooks can't satisfy the customers, I won't want him." Gu Yanyue deliberately joked.

After chatting with Concubine Yu for a while, Gu Yanyue was about to return to the palace.

But thinking of that treacherous chef, Gu Yanyue still felt like something was blocking her heart.

Later, Yu Wenran came, and Gu Yanyue sat outside with her head supported.

She was unhappy, and the frustration of misjudging people made her feel a little sad.

I met Yu An again today. Seeing her having a happy chat with Yu Fei and her brother, I missed my family too. I don’t know if I can go back.

"Ayue, what's wrong?"

"When did you come?" Hearing Yuwen Ran's voice, Gu Yanyue looked up and met Yuwen Ran's eyes. For a moment, there was some awkwardness. Yuwen Ran quickly coughed, "Ayue, I'm hungry."

Gu Yanyue smiled, "You are an emperor after all, why do you think about eating all day long?"

After saying this, Gu Yanyue realized that she seemed to have said something wrong again.

But Yuwen Ran didn't mind at all. He just looked at Gu Yanyue and said aggrievedly: "Then Ah Yue, can you cook for me now?"

"Of course." Gu Yanyue said, walked into the small kitchen, and made a bowl of noodles for Yu Wen Ran. It was an ordinary bowl of noodles, but Yu Wen Ran ate it with relish.

"Ayue, take a rest." Looking at the busy Gu Yanyue, Yuwen Ran said, "Ayue, how come you are busier than me, the emperor." His voice was a little aggrieved, "You haven't been spending time with me these past few days. I can't find you when I want to eat the food you cook."

Gu Yanyue automatically ignored Yuwen Ran's complaints, "How can I be as busy as Your Majesty? It's just that something happened in the restaurant recently and I'm in a bad mood."

"Ayue, what happened? Tell me."

Now that she had someone to talk to, Gu Yanyue naturally poured out everything like a bamboo tube pouring out beans. However, she did feel a lot better after she had said it.

Yuwen Ran looked at Gu Yanyue and said, "Ayue, don't be unhappy. This is just a case of not choosing the right person. Next time I will go with you and help you choose the right person. I guarantee that I will make sure you get the right one."

"I understand." Gu Yanyue answered with a smile, and at the same time, she secretly took note of it in her heart. She must be more careful when looking for people in the future. She can't keep ungrateful people who will betray her, otherwise it will cause trouble.

"Okay, let's take a rest." Gu Yanyue said. Maybe she was too tired, and she fell asleep after a while.

Yu Wenran looked at the sleeping Gu Yanyue with a smile on his face. Life seemed to be getting more and more hopeful.
