"That's the only way." Jiang Qian nodded emphatically.
Like the Wang and Jiang families, all other families took action without exception.
Zhao Shu had expected this, but what did it have to do with her? As long as the Prince Yong's mansion could protect itself, that was all that mattered.
As for the others, there was Emperor Mingde and his ministers. As a princess, she naturally kept to herself and didn't care about anything that didn't concern her.
She slept soundly without any dreams. The next day, she went to the kitchen. When she arrived, Jin Xi was already busy at work. Jin Xi was the head maid in charge of the Empress Dowager's meals and was highly trusted by the Empress Dowager.
Upon seeing Zhao Shu approach, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but it was quickly replaced by a smile. "This servant greets the Princess. Why is the Princess here so early today? What brings the Princess to a place like the kitchen?"
The Empress Dowager's head maids all doted on Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu had a good relationship with them. At this moment, she no longer had the airs of a princess that she displayed in front of outsiders.
"Naturally, I'm here to help Aunt Jinxi. What are you preparing for Grandmother?" she said, then leaned over to take a look. The breakfasts were all very elaborate.
"These are all the foods the Empress Dowager is used to eating. Whatever the Princess wants to eat, this servant will make it for her." Jin Xi bowed and then began to busy herself again.
Zhao Shu had come specifically to make breakfast for the Empress Dowager, so naturally she wouldn't refuse. Thus, she said, "Aunt Jinxi, I'd like to eat vegetarian rice noodle rolls. Could you make them for me?"
Vegetarian rice noodle rolls were a breakfast dish that Jin Xi often made for the palace maids. They were made by rolling wide rice noodles around vegetarian dishes, and because they looked like sausages, they were called vegetarian rice noodle rolls.
Zhao Shu had heard others mention it, but she had never eaten Jin Xi's cooking, since that was something only palace maids ate.
But in modern times, when Zhao Shu was in elementary school, she ate this kind of breakfast every day.
Now, I miss it terribly.
Jin Xi was taken aback, and a hint of anger appeared on her face. "Which little brat was gossiping in front of the princess? How could the princess eat such things? Shall I make some exquisite crystal buns for the princess?"
"No, I want to eat the vegetarian rice noodle rolls that Aunt Jinxi makes." Zhao Shu pouted deliberately, looking willful.
Jin Xi sighed helplessly, "Princess, how about we eat it tomorrow?"
"Aunt Jinxi, hurry up and make it for Ajun. Are you worried that you won't have time? How about this, Ajun will make Grandmother's breakfast herself, and Aunt Jinxi will make vegetarian rice noodle rolls for Ajun, okay? Please, I really want to eat it."
At my age, it's really a bit embarrassing to act like a child again...
