Chapter 94: Reputation Improves



Xiaohong's face was full of gratitude. She left the gifts she brought before leaving.

After solving Xiaohong's problem, Qian Ruoyu decided to take a good rest.

He was busy running back and forth, not only solving the problems of the palace's kitchen, but also solving Xiaohong's problems.

Qian Ruoyu was more aware of himself and realized that through this incident, he had already firmly grasped everyone in the kitchen.

Especially Li Zhiyi, she would never harass other people in the kitchen again. This was what made Qian Ruoyu feel particularly relieved.

At this moment, Yan'er, who was watering the flowers outside, suddenly ran in happily.

"My Lady, My Lady, guess what I heard!"

Qian Ruoyu looked at her blankly.

"What's wrong? Did you see anything? Did you see Li Zhiyi coming to steal our things!?"

Qian Ruoyu looked alert.

But Yan'er burst out laughing.

"No, madam. I just heard what two servants said when they passed by our yard."

"If you heard those words in person, you would definitely feel happy!"

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu became even more confused. What kind of words could make her happy?

"If you have anything to say, just say it now. Stop hiding it and keep me in suspense!"

After hearing that Qian Ruoyu looked anxious, Yan'er began to tell the story.

"Ahem, Madam, two maids who were cleaning the back garden just passed by us. I heard what they said. They were actually talking about you, Madam!"

"One of the maids said that the food has been so good lately that she has gained two pounds. This guy also said that he is working harder and harder!"

"Another maid said that all this is thanks to our Princess! Because Princess Wang Fei has started to manage the kitchen, everyone's meals have improved. Before, they could only eat meat scraps for every meal, but now they can even eat big chunks of meat!"

After saying this, Yan'er looked very happy.

Qian Ruoyu also noticed that through these two maids, she could tell that her reputation in the palace seemed to have improved.

Otherwise, even the maids passing by would say the same thing.

Yan'er continued.

"My queen, I think what the maids said is right. With your help, there is indeed a lot more meat in the palace. In the past, when I ate with other maids, I could only see a few pieces of meat scraps in the dishes..."

"But now there are several more pieces of meat on a plate, but people don't dare to add more. They just take one piece each, which eventually leads to a few more pieces of meat on the plate."

When saying this, Yan'er felt extremely happy.

Qian Ruoyu also knew that everything she had done seemed to make the people in the palace happy.

But Qian Ruoyu also understood very well that this was just what they deserved. Although the income of the palace almost all came from the prince's salary and the rewards from the court, it was enough to feed more than a hundred mouths in the palace.

But even so, Qian Ruoyu was worried in her heart. Chu Mobai never cared about the money. What if he was short of money one day?

The thought of this made Qian Ruoyu a little worried. After all, Chu Mobai's current property was also her property.

After thinking about it, Qian Ruoyu nodded silently, thinking that she must help Chu Mobai manage the money.

Just then there was a knock on the door.

Yan'er ran to the door while smiling, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Butler Wang.

When she saw Butler Wang, the smile on Yan'er's face immediately stopped. After all, she was still afraid that Butler Wang would come to manage her.

Although Yan'er is always Qian Ruoyu's maid, she is still subject to the control of Butler Wang in some matters.

"Butler Wang..."

However, when facing Yan'er, Butler Wang did not dare to be too strict with her at all, because he had been taught a lesson by Qian Ruoyu.

If he continued to reveal any flaws in front of Qian Ruoyu or made Qian Ruoyu angry, he didn't know whether his house would be demolished by Qian Ruoyu next time!

So he raised his smile a little and said with a smile on his face.

"Excuse me, is the princess here?"

Yan'er nodded quickly, then looked at Qian Ruoyu in the room behind her, and Qian Ruoyu just nodded slightly.

This means that Qian Ruoyu allowed Butler Wang to enter the yard.

Butler Wang then came to the door of the room under the guidance of Yan'er, but he did not dare to take a step forward.

Butler Wang, who was standing at the door of the room, bowed his head respectfully and said.

"Your Highness... In recent days, our palace has been peaceful and the food has improved a lot. Recently, your servants have been very respectful to you, Your Highness..."

"It's just...it's just that I...this..."

Seeing that he looked like he had something stuck in his throat, Qian Ruoyu said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Can this queen punish you for no reason?"

After hearing what she said, Butler Wang spoke.

"This... Princess, I am worried that if we use such a large amount of food and meals to feed the servants every day, wouldn't the expenses of the palace be very high?"

"Although I am only a small housekeeper, I also bear the responsibility of worrying about the prince... The warehouse did not tell me the number, so I can only come here to ask the princess..."

After hearing his words, Qian Ruoyu instantly understood.

However, what Butler Wang said was not directed at Qian Ruoyu.

After all, the food was much better than before, which naturally made Butler Wang feel suspicious.

Qian Ruoyu also knew that if this matter could not be explained properly, not only would she be investigated, but even Zhang Ma and Wang Po would also be investigated.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu still spoke calmly.

"So that's what happened. You did a great job and were very loyal to the prince."

But after hearing her words, Butler Wang's heart skipped a beat.

He was afraid that his words would offend Qian Ruoyu, so he didn't dare to look up at this moment.

Qian Ruoyu smiled gently.

"Your worries are unnecessary. The prices of all vegetables and meat were negotiated by me personally. I have discussed it with the vegetable farmers and butchers, so I was able to get the lowest price."

"It's true that the expenses are a little more than before, but these are enough to keep the maids and servants well fed. Wouldn't they work harder? Could it be that in the past you were the only one who ate meat and drank wine, while others could only eat bran and drink soup?"

When Butler Wang suddenly heard Qian Ruoyu turn the conversation to himself, he quickly shook his head.

"No, no, no... I wouldn't be like this... I don't..."
