Although everyone was puzzled as to why Qian Ruoyu was standing there, they were still busy with their own things.

In just half an hour, everyone was ready, and one by one they started carrying pots of food to various parts of the palace.

Then the helpers came back, sat at the big table in the dining room, and began to prepare for dinner.

But Qian Ruoyu was still standing there, which frightened everyone. They started to get scared.

Everyone was in a panic, not knowing what they had done wrong, which made the princess very unhappy.

Then, as the head chef of the kitchen, Fatty Wang walked towards Qian Ruoyu.

"Madam, what happened? Why are you standing here all the time? Why don't you come and have something to eat?"

Qian Ruoyu said with a smile.

"You guys eat first. While you're eating, this princess has something to announce."

After hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Fatty Wang also returned to his seat.

Finally, when everyone was eating, Qian Ruoyu spoke.

"Everyone performed well in the birthday banquet, and the birthday banquet was completed perfectly. This time, the old lady was very happy."

Hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and applauded Qian Ruoyu.

After all, they don’t consider the big factor that has to do with themselves now. If it weren’t for the busy work of everyone in the kitchen, there would be no way to complete it.

Qian Ruoyu continued.

"In fact, this is not just my achievement. It has a lot to do with all of you. Without your joint efforts, this birthday party would not have been such a huge success. So I decided to hold a celebration party for everyone."

After hearing these words suddenly, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks in a hurry.

After all, no one had ever heard of such a thing as a celebratory banquet in the kitchen before.

As the saying goes, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. There will basically be no such celebratory banquet in a place like the kitchen.

Therefore, after hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, everyone's eyes became confused and there was a bit of surprise on their faces.

"Let's do it tomorrow at noon. We will prepare a sumptuous lunch for the entire palace tomorrow at noon, and we will also hold our own celebration banquet. At that time, you will enjoy a feast of delicacies from land and sea. This princess will treat you all!"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, everyone's eyes seemed to shine with a gleam of light, especially Fatty Wang, who slapped the table and said.

"Yes, my lady!"

After all, the kitchen was responsible for cooking food for the entire palace. Although the celebration banquet also involved food, and it was cooked by themselves, at least they could eat some delicacies from land and sea, which was already very delicious for them.

After Qian Ruoyu's announcement, everyone nodded.

Qian Ruoyu also came to Fatty Wang, and asked Zhang Ma and Wang Po to come over as well.

"You guys should discuss the ingredients for tomorrow's celebration banquet today. Just order whatever you want to eat. Just tell me. I'll have someone go to Caishikou to prepare it this afternoon. You can tell me what kind of delicacies it is. Even bear paws, I'll arrange it for you!"

Hearing this, Fatty Wang swallowed his breath.

He was well aware of the expensive price of bear paw. After all, as a chef, he knew how precious bear paw was.

But Qian Ruoyu's words made Fatty Wang realize that Qian Ruoyu was serious this time.

Therefore, Fatty Wang nodded immediately, and Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang beside him also nodded quickly.

Just after that, Qian Ruoyu returned to Yueya Pavilion, and the five maids had also returned to Yueya Pavilion safely.

Yan'er said this to Qian Ruoyu right after she came back.

"My queen, we saw the prince when we came back."

It was just a sentence, but it made Qian Ruoyu immediately nervous, and she said with great concern.

"What happened?"

Yan'er said quickly: "Don't worry, Madam, you don't have to be so nervous. Although we saw the prince, he didn't notice it at all. It seemed that the prince had just come out of the gate of the Ministry of Revenue with his men, and then rushed to the Ministry of War."

After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu suddenly realized and felt much more relieved.

She thought the maids were caught red-handed by the prince.

But Yan'er continued to speak.

"The prince's condition seems to be a little bad. When the prince left the door of the Ministry of Revenue, the expression on his face was not very exciting. As for what happened specifically, I don't know..."

Qian Ruoyu thought about it a little in his mind.

The prince's army may be about to set out now, and before that, the prince has said that a large amount of silver will be needed for the army's departure and operation.

Among the six government offices that could take out silver, only the Ministry of Revenue was!

Only when the Ministry of Revenue allocates money can we go to war.

But in addition to this, an order from the Ministry of War is also needed before the prince can dispatch troops.

If the Ministry of War does not issue orders, the soldiers in several major camps in the capital will just remain in place. Are they going to let the prince lead thousands of troops to the border?

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu suddenly understood that the reason why Chu Mobai came out of the Ministry of Revenue was because he wanted money, and if his face looked unhappy, it was most likely because he failed to get the money.

Chu Mobai has now gone to the Ministry of War, and it seems that he is going to apply for a transfer order.

If Chu Mobai can't even get a transfer order from the Ministry of War, wouldn't that be troublesome?

Thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu decided to go to the Ministry of War in person to see what the situation was.

But just after Qian Ruoyu expressed his thoughts, Yan'er said nervously.

"Your Highness... you are taking a risky move now! Your Highness, as the princess of the royal palace, you cannot interfere in government affairs. If Wang Ye knew your thoughts, he would definitely be angry. Moreover, once the civil and military officials in the court heard about this kind of thing... I dare not say what would happen then!"

"There are hundreds of people in the Ministry of War. If you go there, you will definitely be misunderstood as interfering in government affairs..."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu felt a little confused.

After all, Qian Ruoyu had only been thinking about how to help Chu Mobai before, and had never thought about interfering in politics.

But if I just go to the Ministry of War like this, I might really be misunderstood by others as someone who wants to interfere in government affairs.

Even the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, let alone her, the princess consort.

The thought of this made Qian Ruoyu feel a little puzzled. If she couldn't help Chu Mobai with this kind of thing, wouldn't Chu Mobai have to worry about it alone?

But at this moment, Qian Ruoyu suddenly came up with an idea and said directly to Yan'er beside her.

"Yan'er, go to the kitchen and prepare a bowl of chicken soup. Since Black Peony can deliver chicken soup, why can't I, the princess?"

Yan'er was immediately surprised, "Ah, Madam, you mean..."

Qian Ruoyu nodded seriously.

"That's right, this princess is going to give the prince chicken soup now!"
