Seeing the look of doubt on her face, Zhao Yunjin continued, "After all, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire, so I took it upon myself to select one of the three chefs who were sent to help make the boxed lunches and send him to the Crown Prince's residence to be in charge of teaching the chefs there how to cook these dishes."
"Although their cooking skills are certainly not as exquisite as yours, they are still people you personally taught, so they must be much better than the other chefs!"
Hearing this, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but smile slightly, her eyes full of appreciation, and praised, "You've thought of everything! In this way, the Crown Princess can enjoy it whenever she wants."
It must be said that his move was indeed very well thought out.
Zhao Yunjin did not tell the whole truth.
In fact, the other two chefs who came to help have also been sent to the palace to teach the royal chefs the dishes they learned from Yun Zhizhi.
This was a last resort, given how difficult his gluttonous father, who was the emperor, was to deal with.
And their shamelessness is astonishing.
After failing to get a free meal from him, they even brought up their grandmother and mother.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Yun Zhizhi asked, "When you came in just now, had all the people gathered at the door already left?"
Zhao Yunjin nodded slightly: "Yes, they've all left."
Standing a little distance away, the guard Zhao Liu couldn't help but mutter to himself: He was clearly scared away by you, Master.
At this moment, the scene that had just occurred involuntarily surfaced in Zhao Liu's mind.
The common people had been gathered at the gate of the Yun residence and refused to leave, but when they saw their master slowly step down from the carriage, they were like frightened birds, and they all fled in panic.
It works better than anything else!
Upon hearing this news, Yun Zhizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's great!"
"I have already sent Zhao Wu to invite bricklayers to the palace to build an oven. In a few days, we will be able to make more delicious food for you."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin's lips curled up slightly, and he reached out a hand to gently grasp Yun Zhizhi's soft hand, their fingers intertwining tightly.
He replied softly, "Very well, I look forward to it!"
It seems my colleagues were right; I'm really in for a treat from now on.
When he recalled the envious looks they had given him, a slight smile crept onto his lips.
"Shall we take a walk?"
"Alright, I'll show you around the Yun Mansion."
After saying that, the two of them went for a walk hand in hand.
Before going to bed, Yun Zhizhi called Xiao Tao to her side and whispered, "I'm going to fast for a day tomorrow. You must remember not to let anyone into my room."
Xiao Tao nodded knowingly: "Understood, Miss."
She was already used to her young mistress's periodic fasting for weight loss.
However, this particular fetish of the young lady is indeed quite peculiar.
And you also have to endure the agony of not eating or drinking for a whole day, which is unbearable just to think about.
After all, an ordinary person like her could never lock herself in her room all day without eating or drinking a single grain of rice or a drop of water.
In fact, even Yun Zhizhi herself finds it difficult to fast for a whole day.
On the very day that Yun Zhizhi disappeared under the pretext of fasting, He Yang came running to the Yun residence as usual.
He was holding a brightly colored pheasant in his left hand and a plump wild duck in his right, and asked Xiao Tao, who was standing at the door, with a look of urgency on his face: "Xiao Tao, where is your young lady?"
The country estate sent a lot of wild game to the He family. When He Yang saw it, he secretly took two of them when no one was paying attention. He was overjoyed and thought he would go to Yun Zhizhi to share them with her and ask her to show off her cooking skills and cook two new dishes so that they could have a good feast.
Xiao Tao couldn't help but smile: "Miss is fasting today, so I'm afraid she won't be able to cook."
"ah?"
He Yang frowned deeply, a hint of disappointment on his face, and muttered, "Why is the boss fasting again...?"
As the saying goes, if people don't compare themselves to others, they won't feel hurt.
Sure enough, whenever He Yang thought about his eldest brother, who was currently in his room resolutely fasting, neither eating nor drinking, enduring the torment, he felt a pang of anxiety.
But what about ourselves?
They brazenly carried plump chickens and ducks, eagerly preparing to feast.
Upon comparison, he suddenly realized that he was far too undisciplined.
So, he couldn't help but look down at his round, white, flabby body, and immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he shoved the chicken and duck he was originally planning to eat into Xiao Tao's hands, and said in a pretentious manner, "Xiao Tao, you can take all these chicken and duck to nourish your body!"
Before Xiao Tao could even react, He Yang had already slipped away.
He planned to rush back to his room and fast for a whole day, just like the eldest brother, so that he could become a little more self-disciplined.
If He Yang found out that Yun Zhizhi wasn't actually practicing abstinence from grains, he'd probably cry his eyes out.
Xiao Tao watched He Yang rush over and then disappear in a flash, and saw the chickens and ducks in her hands. She was both amused and exasperated.
The next day, at the beginning of the 9-11 AM.
That day, He Yang arrived at the Yun residence and learned that Yun Zhizhi was busy in the kitchen. So he couldn't wait to run over to find her.
