"You are my most trusted confidant. In this world, no one is more worthy of my trust than you!"

"From now on, you can use these things on the table except me. No one else can use them. If I find out that you are still so reserved and unwilling to use them again, I will beat you up!"

Qian Ruoyu's words, which combined kindness and severity, immediately made Yan'er lower her head and express her gratitude.

Yan'er didn't expect the young lady to say such words. How could she be worthy of such a thing? She was just a maid.

Qian Ruoyu said this not entirely to impress Yan'er. After all, given the relationship between Qian Ruoyu and Yan'er, there was no need to use such means to impress Yan'er and make Yan'er listen to him more.

Qian Ruoyu did this simply so that Yan'er could use her rouge and powder with confidence.

In this era, Yan'er is the only girl who follows him wholeheartedly.

Only after that did Qian Ruoyu stand up and clapped his hands gently.

"Okay, in that case, let's go to the kitchen and take a look. The people in the kitchen haven't got our things yet. I told you I'll give them a little reward!"

Qian Ruoyu brought some rouge and powder that she had bought earlier and Yan'er to the kitchen.

Just as he reached the kitchen door, Qian Ruoyu heard some urine-sucking sounds inside, so he pushed the door open and followed Yan'er in.

When they suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, no one reacted until someone suddenly saw Qian Ruoyu and shouted loudly.

"Meet the princess!"

After this shout, everyone in the kitchen quieted down and looked over here, only to find that Qian Ruoyu was already standing at the door.

The people who were playing were Xiaohong and Zhang Ma. One of them was holding a brush and the other was just grabbing it.

The others looked like they were just watching a show.

But Qian Ruoyu looked at the sky, thought about the time, and immediately had an idea in his mind.

The moment they suddenly saw Qian Ruoyu appear at the door, both Zhang Ma and Xiaohong were completely frightened. Zhang Ma even quickly threw the brush in her hand to the ground.

Everyone bowed their heads to Qian Ruoyu.

"Meet the princess."

Their shouts came one after another, and although they seemed uneven, they were all respectful.

This is exactly the effect Qian Ruoyu wanted, to make them afraid of her but also respect her at the same time, this is a good working atmosphere.

Otherwise, if everyone is too close or too distant to him, it will not be a good thing, and it will be even more detrimental to Qian Ruoyu's arrangements in the kitchen.

Qian Ruoyu glanced at them, then spoke to Xiaohong and Zhang Ma who were lowering their heads.

"What are you two playing?"

Xiaohong seemed a little ashamed and just lowered her head without saying anything. Only Aunt Zhang spoke reluctantly.

"Reporting to Her Majesty the Princess... We... We are... We are competing to wash the dishes..."

After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu just smiled slightly, which made Zhang Ma feel a little scared.

After all, they also knew that they were working in the palace, and if they didn't do their job well, they could be kicked out at any time.

There are so many people trying to get in at the palace, but they can’t.

Qian Ruoyu then looked at Xiaohong.

"Xiao Hong, what about you?"

Xiaohong, who was originally optimistic and active, now lowered her head, blushed, and spoke hesitantly.

"I... Princess... I... I wanted to wash the dishes, but Aunt Zhang snatched them away from me... Aunt Zhang must have no ill intentions... She was just playing with me. Please, Princess, please forgive us this time..."

Qian Ruoyu smiled and nodded. This answer made her very satisfied.

Qian Ruoyu then slowly relaxed her smile and spoke to the people in front of her.

"No need to be so polite, get up."

When everyone heard Qian Ruoyu's words, they gradually relaxed their reserved state and slowly raised their heads.

Qian Ruoyu then said with a smile.

"It's afternoon now, and you don't need to cook. It's okay to have some fun during this leisure time. But be careful. If I see you, it's okay. But if others see you, they will think that I don't discipline you strictly and let you laugh and joke around in the palace all the time."

"It's okay to play with it normally, but be aware that there is a hole."

After listening to Qian Ruoyu's sermon, everyone nodded immediately, and no one dared to refute Qian Ruoyu.

After all, what Qian Ruoyu said was true, and it naturally played a role in their education.

But Qian Ruoyu came here this time not to preach to them, but to give them rewards. There have been almost no accidents in the kitchen during this period of time, which also made Qian Ruoyu, the person who had just come to manage the kitchen, gain some reputation.

Qian Ruoyu still said with a smile.

"Well, you don't have to worry so much. This time I am not here to supervise you on your work. Instead, I am here to give you a small reward!"

Right after that, Yan'er, who was beside Qian Ruoyu, opened the small box on the ground, and saw dozens of rouge and powder in the box. Almost all the women in the kitchen looked over, looking at the rouge and powder with surprise.

How could they not know that Qian Ruoyu was able to send these things over? The implication was very obvious.

Qian Ruoyu still spoke calmly.

"You guys have performed pretty well before, and I am not a stingy person. I just bought some new rouge and powder, and I know some of you may need these things."

"Everyone come up now and take two portions. You can take whatever you want, but don't fight or grab."

Hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, Xiaohong became active and ran over first, and the rest naturally followed.

However, the men in the kitchen, including Fatty Wang, obviously did not take a step forward. Rouge and powder were simply the most useless gifts for them.

But Qian Ruoyu had already prepared the gifts they needed. He took out some herbs directly from his laboratory and placed them on the table in front of them.

Because Qian Ruoyu really couldn't think of anything to give them, she might as well give them these precious herbs.

Among these herbs are ginseng, cordyceps sinensis, and some Polygonum multiflorum, which are all considered precious Chinese herbal medicines.

After all, they are also people in the kitchen, so they naturally know that these Chinese herbal medicines are not only precious, but can also be used as medicine and soup. Giving these things to them can be said to be the most suitable gifts!
