Chapter 528: Concern
When the cook saw Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen appear together, she was shocked, thinking that she had done something wrong.
When Ji Yunshu explained that he wanted to make something himself, he quickly said, "This is not a place for Madam and the Prince to come. Just tell us what you want to eat and we'll make it."
The cook's cooking skills were actually quite good, and Ji Yunshu wasn't dissatisfied at all. "It's cold out today, and I'm feeling bored inside, so I thought I'd move around. You can do your thing, and don't worry about me."
If it was just Ji Yunshu, the cook would have to persuade her a few more times, but seeing Zhao Shen accompanying her, she thought that maybe it was just a couple's hobby, and she didn't want to disturb them.
So he pointed out where Ji Yunshu needed the things and went to do his own thing.
Ji Yunshu has only one goal today: cake.
Fortunately, there is a simple oven for baking pancakes. Although it does not meet the requirements, it can be used.
The other materials are basically all available.
Ji Yunshu first beat a few eggs and gave the task of beating the egg whites to Chao Qing.
Then I went to prepare other things.
Chao Qing had to wait until one of his hands was almost broken before he finished beating the egg whites, and the other ingredients were also ready.
Ji Yunshu has a good memory. Although her cooking skills are not very good, making cakes requires almost no technical skills. All you have to do is remember the recipe and follow the steps.
Mix the batter and egg liquid, put them into the oven for baking pancakes, and soon the air will be filled with sweet aroma.
Ji Yunshu smelled this familiar scent and felt that it was indeed very healing.
Chao Qing was beating the egg whites until he started to doubt his life. At first he thought Ji Yunshu was deliberately playing a prank on him.
But he really couldn't remember when he had offended his wife.
Now when I smell this scent, I immediately feel that I was being mean-spirited.
"It smells so good! Hasn't our family ever made something like this before?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "No, this dessert requires fresh milk, which is not common in the capital."
In this era, cattle were an important means of production, and the government stipulated that they could not be slaughtered at will, so beef was rarely eaten.
Fresh milk has a fishy taste and its nutritional value is not well known to the public.
So this thing is not common in the capital.
Of course, with the strength of the Marquis' Mansion, it would not be difficult to get it, but Ji Yunshu was too lazy to mobilize a large number of troops just for a bite of food.
Chao Qing certainly understood what Ji Yunshu meant. Sometimes he even felt that Ji Yunshu was a little strange.
Although she was raised by the Queen Mother, she was not spoiled at all.
Her living expenses were indeed extravagant, but that was because that was her lot.
"The powerful people in the capital don't like cow's milk, but there's plenty of it in Youzhou. If my lady needs it, we can take a few cows back and raise them on the farm."
It doesn't take much effort.
"Let's talk about this later."
They don't know when they can return yet.
Chao Qing saw her worry and comforted her, "Madam, don't worry about the prince. He survived even more dangerous times before. Now that he has someone to care about, he won't let anything happen to him."
Speaking of this, Chao Qing thought of the previous Zhao Shen, who seemed to not care about anything in this world.
He went almost wherever there was danger. He was even scared that time in Suzhou.
But over the past year, he could clearly feel the changes in Zhao Shen.
He values his wife more and more.
The recent trips were certainly the Madam's own wish, but the Prince agreed because he didn't want to be separated from her.
He always believed that as long as the prince did not want to die, no one in this world could kill him.
Ji Yunshu is the thread that holds the prince together.
"Really? He seems to have already made arrangements for his funeral. Do you know the details?"
Ji Yunshu asked him with a smile.
Chao Qing: “…”
He has always been by Zhao Shen's side and is Zhao Shen's most trusted confidant.
Nothing about Zhao Shen could be hidden from him, and some things were even confessed to him.
But he knew that his wife had already had a quarrel with the prince over this matter, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything at this time.
"Why aren't you talking? Don't you know? This shouldn't be the case. Is there anything about the prince that you don't know?"
Ji Yunshu was still smiling, but Chao Qing sensed an inexplicable danger.
He felt that if he spoke carelessly, the consequences might not be good.
"Well... I'm just a servant, and the prince can't tell me everything, right?"
Ji Yunshu looked at him suspiciously: "Someone has to carry out your prince's arrangements. If not you, then who? Jingzhe, Dongzhi, or Shen Qin?"
Being stared at closely by Ji Yunshu, Chao Qing felt uneasy and broke out in a cold sweat, but he dared not move. "Maybe, possibly, it's Jingzhe. He spends the most time with the prince."
I would rather die than let my friend die. Aren’t colleagues meant to be betrayed?
Ji Yunshu suddenly realized: "You are right. I will go back and talk to Jingzhe. Don't worry, I will tell him that it was you who said it."
It was a cold day, and Chao Qing was sweating profusely: "Madam, we are just servants. We have to do whatever the master says."
"Really? I'm not your master? Are you helping your prince hide something from me?"
Chao Qing found that if his wife got to the bottom of the matter, he really couldn't resist.
And if you think about it, isn't the prince's arrangement all for his wife? Even if his wife knew about it in advance, it wouldn't matter...right?
He pondered for a moment and said, "It's nothing, actually. The prince is just worried that the poison in his body cannot be cured. He said that he will set you free when the time comes."
Ji Yunshu's expression turned cold: "What kind of freedom is this?"
Tattoo said with a strong desire to survive: "This prince really didn't say anything."
He knew that whether he said it or not, he would be in trouble.
Fortunately, Yin Ye came to remind Ji Yunshu at this time that the pastries in the oven should be almost done.
Ji Yunshu didn't ask any more questions, but asked Chao Qing to get the cakes.
Chao Qing was looking forward to hearing this and immediately got up to work.
The little cakes were baked very successfully, each one was golden and smelled very fragrant.
Because the temperature was difficult to control, Ji Yunshu didn't do much this time.
I immediately had two boxes packed and sent to my father and eldest brother.
He tasted the remaining pieces himself and let the people below share them.
Chao Qing looked eagerly at...
"Is there no place for me?"
Ji Yunshu glanced at him and said, "Didn't you just watch the whole process? You should have learned it by now. If you want to eat it, just make it yourself."
After that she left the kitchen.
Chao Qing asked Yin Ye, who was a step behind and hadn't caught up, "How did I offend Madam?"
Yin Ye also felt a little sympathetic towards him. She had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, smelling the fragrance, but she didn't even get to eat the last bite.
"When you consider your wife as important as the prince, you might not offend her."
Chao Qing pointed to the sky and swore: "In the name of heaven and earth, in my heart, my wife is more important than the prince."
God knows that in the prince's heart, his wife is more important than himself. When they encountered danger several times on the road, the prince always asked them to take care of their wife first. How could they not understand that which master is more important?
Yin Ye looked at him puzzledly: "What did you say?"
