Arrived at Ye’s house on West Street.
Yun Xiangye got off the carriage and went to look for Aunt Ye, and specifically asked why Ye Zhimiao was not there.
Aunt Ye chuckled and said, "She went out early this morning. I don't know what important things she went to buy in this hot weather. It's really unfortunate that you came."
Yun Xiangye said, "It's good that Miaomiao isn't here, aunt. I came to see you today because my sister misses the home-cooked meals in Yongxing City that cool down and stimulate the appetite. His Highness asked you to go to the East Palace and make a few dishes for my sister."
Aunt Ye's smile paused, and she hurriedly stood up. "I want to enter the palace? I don't even know the palace rules..."
Yun Xiangye said, "His Highness only summoned you to cook. You don't have to worry about not knowing the palace rules."
Aunt Ye instructed the maid beside her, "Go to the kitchen and get some dried shrimps and preserved radish."
"Yes." The maid responded quickly.
Aunt Ye said to Yun Xiangye, "Wanhe used to love drinking preserved radish soup to stimulate her appetite when she had a poor appetite in the summer."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "I like to drink it too."
Aunt Ye said, "I brought a lot when I came here. You can take some back later."
Yun Xiangye said, "Thank you, aunt."
Aunt Ye waited for the maid for a long time, then went to the East Palace with the dried radish and Kaiyang.
The kitchen in the East Palace is very grand.
Aunt Ye looked at the kitchen which had more than ten pots and all kinds of dishes. She felt relieved, thinking that her daughter would not be wronged in terms of food at least.
Yun Xiangye was afraid that her aunt would feel uncomfortable being alone in the kitchen, so she helped her aunt by standing by.
Aunt Ye hurried Yun Xiangye away and said, "Xiangye, please get out now. The fire in the kitchen is too strong. It's so hot today. You should go outside to cool off."
Yun Xiangye said, "It's okay, aunt, I'll just keep you company."
Aunt Ye said, "Look, your hair is wet. It's really too hot here..."
Yun Xiangye still insisted on staying to accompany Aunt Ye. Although Yun Xiangye believed that the rules of the palace servants in the Eastern Palace must be much stricter than those in the Princess's Mansion, she was also afraid that some evil servants would embarrass Aunt Ye.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Yun Xiangye, Aunt Ye let her stay by her side.
Although Yun Xiangye can't cook, she can help.
When I was halfway through my work, I heard a noise outside.
Yun Xiangye saw Gu Yan ordering the palace servants to carry a jar of ice cubes into the room, and the stove-like kitchen instantly became a little cooler.
Aunt Ye saw Gu Yan coming with ice cubes and smiled, "Your Highness is thoughtful."
Gu Yan responded with a faint smile, "Aunt, is there anything I can help you with here?"
Aunt Ye said, "No, no, please go outside. Where can I ask you to help in the kitchen?"
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "I simply have nothing to do today. If there's no place for me to help you, I'll fan you two."
Aunt Ye also hurriedly said: "How can we ask you to fan us?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Aunt, let him go. If he's free, let him fan himself."
After hearing what Yun Xiangye said, Aunt Ye stopped being polite with Gu Yan and started to cook home-cooked dishes.
It took more than half an hour to prepare four dishes and a soup.
Aunt Ye saw the palace maid put the dishes into the food box. She unbuttoned her smock, wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief, and asked expectantly, "Can I bring the dishes over?"
The maid whispered, "The senior maidservant beside His Highness will deliver the food."
Gu Yan walked up to Aunt Ye and said, "Aunt, you've worked hard today. Xiang Ye and I will take you home."
Aunt Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Okay."
Yun Xiangye helped Aunt Ye onto the carriage. Aunt Ye lifted the curtain on the carriage window, looked back at Donggong and sighed.
Inside the East Palace.
Ye Wanhe leaned on the couch, lying on her side weakly.
Zhao Yun walked over to Ye Wanhe and said, "Today I found a chef from Yongxing City and he made you some home-cooked dishes from Yongxing City. Would you like to try them?"
Ye Wanhe said, "I really can't eat it. If I eat, I will vomit violently."
Zhao Yun said softly, "You can't not eat it, I'm sure you'll like today's dishes."
Ye Wanhe had no choice but to get up and eat only a little for the sake of the baby in her belly.
Ye Wanhe went to the dining hall and looked at the table full of delicacies. There were a few dishes that were deep in her memory that seemed a little out of place with the other dishes.
Ye Wanhe took a spoon and scooped a bowl of dried radish soup. The soup was as delicious as she remembered.
Ye Wanhe tried another dish of stir-fried pumpkin with shrimps. After tasting it, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and strode towards the kitchen of the East Palace.
The taste deep in her memory, the taste she has been longing for for more than ten years, she will definitely not forget it.
"Wanhe." Zhao Yunda caught up with Ye Wanhe, grabbed her wrist and asked, "Where are you going?"
Ye Wanhe said, "I want to see my mother. My mother cooked today's meal."
Ye Wanhe didn't even need to ask, she was certain that the taste in her memory would not change, "I have to go see my mother."
Zhao Yun took Ye Wanhe into his arms and said, "She's gone."
Ye Wanhe's eyes were slightly red as she said, "Your Highness, please let me see my mother. I only want to see her once, okay?"
Zhao Yun wiped Ye Wanhe's tears and said, "Go back and have dinner. Don't let her kindness go to waste."
Ye Wanhe pleaded, "Your Highness, I only want to see you once, just once, okay?"
Zhao Yun said, "No."
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun with disappointment in her eyes. She felt nauseous and vomited loudly.
Zhao Yun didn't seem disgusted. He just took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirt off Ye Wanhe, and then helped her rinse her mouth with warm water, looking considerate.
