Chapter 470 It’s time to work!
Just as fellow apprentice Yan Wujiu and his brother were fleeing in panic at the border of the Western Regions, the scene at the Sixth Princess's residence in Fengjing City was quite different.
Qin Zhaoyue was lazily leaning on the soft velvet couch in the corridor. The warm autumn sun cast mottled light and shadows through the sparse branches and leaves. He was casually thinking about the dishes for lunch.
Sui Mo, who was standing by, saw this and suggested with a smile:
"Your Highness, how about trying the cooking skills of the two chefs at Chengyuan?
I heard they have several specialties that are unique in Fengjing."
"Hmm?" Qin Zhaoyue's eyes, which had been somewhat dazed, suddenly brightened. "You really brought that person back to the mansion?"
Sui Mo chuckled lightly, with a hint of pride:
"Of course. Our family has taken on such a huge problem at Chengyuan, so what's the big deal about bringing back two cooks?"
Of course, the main reason for this is that her prince’s current title as the commander of the Xuanji Guard is intimidating enough.
Such a daunting official position requires two cooks, how could the new owner of Chengyuan dare not give them?
However, there is no need to report these minor details to His Highness in detail.
Qin Zhaoyue indeed revealed a very satisfied smile, and glanced at Sui Mo approvingly:
"You're quite sensible and understanding! No need to deduct your salary this month."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Qin Zhaoyue turned his head to look at Yinzhe who was quietly leaning on the side, and extended an invitation:
"Auntie, why don't you stay for lunch? It's a great opportunity to try the cooking skills of the Chengyuan chef."
Yinzhe put down the milk tea and nodded slightly:
"Great! I've heard that Chengyuan's food is exquisite. Thanks to Xiaoliu, I'm in for a treat today."
Qin Zhaoyue seemed to suddenly remember something and asked curiously:
"Speaking of which, Auntie, is your position as Deputy Commander so free? Shouldn't there be a mountain of official business waiting to be dealt with?"
When this was mentioned, Yinzhe's originally calm eyes narrowed instantly, and his tone was filled with resentment:
"Otherwise, Commander, what do you think I was doing all day while Your Majesty and you were traveling around and slowly returning north?"
Military intelligence in the northern border, pacification of the southern border, the old case of the late crown prince, the whereabouts of Yan Wujiu, supervision of local government affairs, subtle changes in officials in the court... all the complicated matters ultimately fell on the head of her, the deputy commander.
I was so busy every day that I had no time to rest. I had to read endless secret reports, sign endless documents and files, and make endless decisions.
She had never known before that commanding the daily operations of Xuanji Guard involved such complex and detailed intelligence and paperwork.
Managing a Xuanji Guard is already so exhausting, if one really wants to take charge of the entire Dagan Empire...
Thinking of this, she understood more and more why Xiaoliu was so afraid of that position.
Even she found it difficult to bear such boredom and pressure, let alone Xiaoliu who was free-spirited and carefree by nature?
I'm afraid I'll have to give up after sitting for half a day.
Qin Zhaoyue didn't look embarrassed at all after hearing this. Instead, she clapped her hands with a smile:
"Oh, you've worked so hard, Deputy Commander!
Auntie, you have made an indelible contribution to the stability of our country today. Your contribution is huge.
Then, I will immediately write to the Queen Mother to formally resign from this commanding post and support my aunt in taking the position, legitimately and legitimately!"
"Get lost!"
Yinzhe glared at her unhappily, and her image of an irritable old aunt instantly returned.
As we chatted and laughed, it was noon and the kitchen had prepared a sumptuous feast.
Knowing that it was His Highness the Sixth Prince who specifically requested to taste the cooking, the two chefs invited from Cheng Garden naturally used all their skills and displayed their best abilities.
Qin Zhaoyue also specially invited Jiang Wuya and Chu Xinglan to dine together, and held a brief ceremony before the meal began.
She estimated the time. With the speed of a second-grade Grandmaster, if he really set out from Fengjing to pursue the enemy, he should be almost near Baihu West Road by now.
Thus, with the cooperation of Jiang Wuya and Chu Xinglan, a short deduction of about three breaths was carried out quietly.
As she expected, Yan Wujiu's aura had already entered the Western Region.
"Perfect!"
Qin Zhaoyue clapped his hands and smiled, and the worries in his heart disappeared.
"Come on, everyone, take your seats and enjoy!"
Maids filed in and filled the table with delicious dishes that were both beautiful and fragrant.
Just the names of the dishes are enough to make one's mouth water.
Golden fish fillet, roasted shrimp, chopstick spring, white dragon Yao, sheepskin filigree, snow baby, fairy meat, green onion and vinegar chicken, soup bath embroidered balls... prepared by two top chefs, it can be said to be the ultimate private banquet in the market.
There was constant drinking and laughter at the table, and everyone praised the lunch.
Qin Zhaoyue ate to her heart's content. Touching her slightly bulging belly, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart:
This is her ideal life!
Apart from being forced to get up too early this morning... I think I won't have to go to the palace so often in the future unless there is something important.
After eating and drinking, it is easy to feel sleepy, not to mention that Qin Zhaoyue lacked sleep this morning.
However, when Yinzhe accidentally mentioned a trivial matter during the chat, all of Qin Zhaoyue's sleepiness instantly disappeared.
She suddenly jumped up from her seat, waved her hands, and said proudly:
"Sui Mo! Gather all the people from our Mo Group and start fighting!"
Two sticks of incense later, Qin Zhaoyue led the mighty Mo Group and appeared in front of the residence of the third princess Qin Zhaowan.
She originally thought that her third sister and the others would be busy handing over government affairs today, but she didn't expect Yinzhe to say that the Queen Mother sympathized with their hard work as regents and specially allowed them to leave the palace and return home today.
I promised myself to take two days off to relax.
What are you waiting for? Qin Zhaoyue immediately rushed over with full energy.
When the doorman saw that it was the Sixth Princess who had arrived, he did not dare to delay and informed her immediately.
The housekeeper of the mansion was invited to come and personally lead the distinguished guest to the inner courtyard.
Qin Zhaoyue strolled along, looking at his third sister's mansion in a cursory manner.
As far as she could remember, she had hardly come since her sisters had established their own residences. After all, their relationship was only average before.
Soon, I saw my third sister reading a book in the study.
When Qin Zhaowan saw her, there was obvious surprise on his face:
"Sixth sister? Didn't we just see each other this morning? Why are you here at this hour?"
