When the chefs of Rong's Restaurant heard that they were going to cook for Yueyue and Murong Shu, several of them competed to get up early the next day, and the overtime pay offered by Rong Qing was also rejected.
"Miss, we don't want the money. We are here voluntarily. Madam Wen has been very kind to us. Miss Yueyue is the kindest person on weekdays. We all know that Madam Wen risked her life to treat the Empress Dowager. It is our honor that she wants to eat the food we cook."
"Brother Zhao is right. The fever-reducing prescription in the shop was contributed by Madam Wen. My child had a fever the day before yesterday, and he surprisingly got better after taking that prescription. Madam Wen is the benefactor of our whole family."
"Yes, Miss, don't worry. We all know what dishes Madam Wen and Miss Yueyue like to eat. Son-in-law can come directly to get them tomorrow morning. If you are worried that you won't have enough time, we can also prepare them earlier and send them to you."
The people in the kitchen are very enthusiastic and can't wait to start working.
"I'll pass by this street on my way to the palace. Just finish it and I'll come to pick it up when the time comes." Mousse was not a pretentious person. He cared deeply about his daughter and niece.
"Don't worry, son-in-law! Miss, son-in-law, it's almost time for dinner, do you want to have dinner here?" The shopkeeper saw that it was almost time for dinner, and since the eldest lady and son-in-law had arrived, they would definitely stay for dinner.
"No, we'll go back now and just make it in time for dinner at the mansion." Rong Qing directly rejected the shopkeeper's invitation. She still wanted to go back to the mansion for dinner, and by the way, tell her sister-in-law and mother-in-law that Shu'er would be able to leave the palace soon so that they could rest assured.
Mu Si listened to Rong Qing and did whatever his wife said. When the two of them arrived at the mansion, they were just in time for dinner.
"Mother, sister-in-law, we are back. I hope we didn't miss dinner!" Rong Qing knew at a glance that everyone was waiting for him.
"I'm back just in time, for dinner." Song Wei had already heard what Mu Shi said about what happened in the palace, and she was in a very good mood. She knew without thinking what her second brother and his wife had gone out for.
"Thank you for your hard work, Qing'er!" Old Madam Mu's face was full of kindness and she was very satisfied with her two daughters-in-law.
"Mom, there's me too!" When Mousse heard his mother praising his wife, he hurried forward to ask for praise.
"Without Qing'er, let's see what signature dishes you will serve to Yueyue and Shu'er tomorrow!" Rong Qing helped the old lady sit in the main seat. Mousse was not angry at all when she heard her mother say that.
"Mother is right, it's all thanks to Qing'er!" Mousse's words made everyone laugh. Today's dinner atmosphere was the best. The Queen Mother would soon be well, and Shu'er would be able to leave the palace soon.
After dinner, Song Wei went to Rong Qing to discuss for a while. She originally planned to bring some more things for Murong Shu and Yue Yue, but was rejected by Mu Shi and Mu Si.
"Madam, the palace has everything. Yueyue sent word to bring the signature dishes. I guess she is greedy. If we bring too many things, it will seem that we don't trust the emperor."
The two brothers analyzed the situation for Song Wei and Rong Qing, and they thought that it was indeed the case.
"We were mistaken. We should listen to our husband. The Queen is the best to our Shu'er and Yueyue and will certainly not treat them unfairly." Song Wei understood at once.
"In that case, let's go back and rest. Don't disturb my second brother and his wife. We have to go to the restaurant early tomorrow." Mu Shi persuaded Song Wei to go back and rest first. After all, they had to get up early tomorrow.
Song Wei felt that what her husband said made sense, so she said goodbye to Rong Qing and went back to rest.
Early the next morning.
When Mousse went out, his elder brother Mu Shi was already waiting for him. The two of them went there on horseback today. When they arrived at Rong's Restaurant, the chefs had just prepared the food and packed it, and were waiting at the door with food boxes. After handing the food boxes to them, the two of them took the food boxes to the palace.
When they arrived at the palace, they found that not only they had brought it, but others had brought it as well. The scene was quite lively for a while.
The emperor looked at the people carrying food boxes to the court, and his mouth twitched. The food in the palace couldn't be so bad. After all, he ate it every day.
Considering that Murong Shu and Yueyue definitely hadn't gotten up yet at this time, they took their food boxes and went to the Empress Dowager's palace after the morning court session.
They were stopped long before the palace gate. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General Mu and all the gentlemen, Madam Wen San said that we cannot go beyond this line. Please stay." The guards stopped several people.
The guards were somewhat nervous when they stopped the people, but they were surprisingly cooperative. Just when Mousse was about to ask if he could shout a few times, he saw Yueyue sitting on the roof.
"Grandfather, father, uncle, prince, brother-in-law, you are here. Yueyue has been waiting for you for a while. Please don't stay here. Go to the left side of the wall, put down the food box and leave. Yueyue will bring it in herself."
Yueyue remembered what Murong Shu said about not touching them. She had already observed that few people passed by the left side of the wall. They put down the food boxes, and she could just wait for them to leave and then go get them.
A few people obediently went to the left wall. The guards were stunned. How could these people be so obedient? The left wall was not easy to walk on, so was it really okay to go there?
The few people didn't care about that. They just put the food wherever the little girl said and left quickly after putting it there. Yueyue waited until they left before flying down and bringing the food boxes in several batches.
On the way back, Mousse said to Shu Shi, "Go back and tell the emperor to have this place repaired, otherwise it will be very inconvenient to deliver things."
It was rare for Shu Shi not to refute Mousse. He also agreed with Mousse's words and was going to talk to the emperor about this matter soon.
In the Queen Mother's palace.
Murong Shu had just finished washing up when he saw several food boxes on the table in the room. He asked in surprise, "Yueyue, where did these food boxes come from?"
"Grandfather, Daddy, Uncle, Prince, and Brother-in-law sent it. Senior Sister, let's take a look at what's inside." The greedy cat Yueyue couldn't wait to see what kind of delicious food was inside.
"Did you mischievously pass on a message to them again?" Murong Shu smiled indulgently, then opened the food boxes with Yueyue.
Then, looking at the table full of delicacies and cakes, Murong Shu was helpless. He asked the palace servants to find plates, divided some out for the imperial doctors, and picked out some that were suitable for the empress dowager to eat and sent them to her.
Yueyue ate the cakes with great enjoyment, and did not forget to share with Murong Shu, "Sister, try this, it was made by my aunt, this must be a gift from my brother-in-law, and this was made by the chef in the palace..."
Yueyue could tell who sent the cake with just one bite. She often visited these mansions and was very familiar with the cakes of each one.
At this time, Murong Shu was reading the letter Wen Jing wrote to him, his heart full of sweetness.
The Queen Mother will be well soon, and she can leave the palace and reunite with Tzuyu.
As the saying goes, a short absence makes the heart grow fonder. She believes that her relationship with Tzuyu will only get better and better.
