In order to avoid this matter from having anything to do with herself, Li Zhiyi continued to talk to Chu Mobai.

"Your Highness, since you volunteered to do this, I think you can do it... I really don't know anything about management..."

While Chu Mobai was thinking, Butler Wang spoke.

"Your Highness, what the Queen said is right. The kitchen is poorly managed, and the three chefs only cook on weekdays and ignore other things. Maybe the kitchen really needs to be managed!"

With the final help of Butler Wang, Chu Mobai nodded.

"Well, then go manage it."

Qian Ruoyu was secretly delighted after hearing these words.

Finally, I got the management rights of the canteen, so both the purchase of the canteen and the final product will be managed by Qian Ruoyu.

Although Yan'er didn't know what Qian Ruoyu was thinking, she just stood there silently.

Qian Ruoyu then waved to the chefs and servants.

"Alright, alright, there's nothing for you to do now. Go back to the kitchen and eat your food. I will personally teach you a lesson later!"

After hearing this, everyone looked up again, as if they were waiting for Chu Mobai's order.

"I have just appointed the princess to manage the kitchen. What are you still doing?"

After hearing this, everyone left the attic.

Before everyone left, Qian Ruoyu had already picked up his chopsticks and asked Yan'er beside him to sit down.

"Sit down."

Yan'er looked at such a grand scene, how could she dare to sit down?

But in the end, Qian Ruoyu forced him to sit down with her.

Qian Ruoyu ignored Chu Mobai and started picking up the dishes with chopsticks.

After seeing this scene, Chu Mobai squinted at her.

Although Chu Mobai didn't say anything, Li Zhiyi beside him couldn't help but speak.

"You... this is the attic, where the prince eats. Are you going to eat alone? Don't forget that the prince has the final say in this palace, not you!"

"You have only obtained the management rights of a small prescription, but you are so bold. You will be able to bully the prince in the future!"

When Chu Mobai heard this, he remained silent, his eyes looking somewhere else, and let Li Zhiyi speak to Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu just looked up at Li Zhiyi, then lowered his head to eat again. He didn't care at all about what Li Zhiyi said and completely ignored Li Zhiyi.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyi gritted her teeth and was extremely hateful in her heart, but she had no way to deal with Qian Ruoyu!

Just when Li Zhiyi was about to tell Chu Mobai, Chu Mobai spoke.

"Serve the rice."

Li Zhiyi had no choice but to stand up quickly and use a wooden spoon to serve Chu Mobai a bowl of rice.

Chu Mobai remained silent and sat there eating alone. Seeing this, Li Zhiyi, who was standing beside him, had no choice but to make herself a bowl of rice and started eating.

There were only four people at the table. Although Li Zhiyi's maid was standing behind her, Dan'er had no chance at all to sit at the table with them.

Although Yan'er was sitting next to the table, she looked frightened and looked at Li Zhiyi and Chu Mobai from time to time.

After all, in the entire palace, Yan'er was the only one who could sit at the table with the host.

How could Yan'er not be afraid?

But Qian Ruoyu said indifferently.

"Eat now, why are you just standing there? There won't be any snacks when you get back."

"Although some snacks were delivered just now, they are not enough. If you have any conscience, eat them quickly!"

Qian Ruoyu attached great importance to the word "conscience".

Seeing that no one said anything, Yan'er picked up the bowl and started eating tremblingly.

After a while, Chu Mobai put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

Li Zhiyi also quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks. Although she had only eaten half of her meal, she immediately interrupted Chu Mobai with her handkerchief, looking very intimate.

Qian Ruoyu also saw it. No wonder Chu Mobai was more inclined towards Li Zhiyi. It turned out that Li Zhiyi had such ability.

She treated Chu Mobai almost as if he had everything handed to him.

This kind of woman is indeed more likable, but this is not what Qian Ruoyu would do.

After Chu Mobai wiped the corner of his mouth, he went out of the big attic alone. Li Zhiyi followed him hurriedly. Although Dan'er was hungry, he also ran up immediately.

Seeing them leaving in such a hurry, Qian Ruoyu just smiled and continued to eat with her maid Yan'er.

Butler Wang was also stunned. He had never thought that Qian Ruoyu would actually contradict the prince like this and let the prince leave alone.

But Butler Wang didn't say much. When he was about to leave alone, he was stopped by Qian Ruoyu.

"Butler Wang, what are you doing standing there? Are you eating? Don't you have bowls and chopsticks?"

Butler Wang waved his hands quickly.

"No, no, no... I'd better go back to my room and eat."

After saying this, Butler Wang fled alone.

After Qian Ruoyu and her maid Yan'er finished eating, they immediately headed towards the kitchen.

The kitchen is on the southwest side of the palace. It is a large independent courtyard with a low wall more than two feet high built outside.

There are three or four rooms inside this low wall. One is used for cooking, one is used to store meat, one is used to store vegetables, and another is used to store various stove utensils.

There is a round well in the yard, where vegetables and meat are washed.

The door of the courtyard leads directly to the outside of the palace, which is used to facilitate the transportation of meat and vegetables into the palace.

As soon as they arrived at the kitchen, the maid Yan'er immediately ran to the yard to make some arrangements.

"The Queen has arrived!"

After Yan'er made such arrangements, everyone in the kitchen rushed over and gathered in the big courtyard.

"The little ones have met the queen!"

After everyone spoke, the conversation gradually quieted down.

Qian Ruoyu looked at the entire kitchen and realized that there were more than forty people in it. After all, these people were not just there to cook, they also needed to cook for everyone in the palace, but they did not eat in the big attic.

Looking at these people, Qian Ruoyu smiled slightly.

"Well, you all should know why I came here this time. Such a big thing has happened in the palace. I hope everyone can be more vigilant in the future!"

"If this kind of thing happened under normal circumstances, I'm afraid that even if we exterminate all nine clans, we might not be able to resolve this matter. This is an opportunity given to you by your Highness and me. I hope you won't let us down!"
