No matter if it was her previous life or her current life, she had never been scolded in such a way by anyone. Tears filled her eyes, but they never flowed out. When Director Liu saw that she looked like she was about to cry, not only did he not comfort her, he said this even more heartlessly.

"Do you think this is serving the Prince Yu? Right now, you are only a small eunuch. To be able to have a seat in the royal kitchen is already a great honor. "

Ruan Xiaonuan did not refute him and gently raised her head, as if this would not cause her tears to fall. She waited until Director Liu's words were dry before he stopped. Just at this time, Zi Juan came over to get lunch for Gu Junxiu. Seeing her teary face, she felt her heart ache as she looked at her. To the Director Liu:

"Director Liu, are you reprimanding the newbies?" Before Ruan Xiaonuan appeared, Zi Juan was serving him, so the Director Liu did not dare to offend her.

"Sorry about that!"

Although Ruan Xiaonuan and the people from royal kitchen got along well previously, they had all seen Gu Junxiu as a person, and now that he had fallen out with her, the crowd would obviously not hold her in respect. She understood this logic when he first left the Zhaoyang Palace, but they stubbornly persevered on.

She kept her head down, not looking at Zi Juan. Because the Director Liu had someone else here, he did not dare to continue reprimanding them. She took the chance and immediately left royal kitchen.

Not long after she left, she heard footsteps behind her. Wiping her tears, she turned around and said,

"Hurry up and bring the meal to His Highness, or else if he gets angry, you won't have a good time."

Zi Juan saw her red hands with just a glance. In less than half a day, her hands had already turned into this, and she helplessly said to her.

"Why are you doing this?"

There was someone protecting him in the Zhaoyang Palace and he had never suffered such injustice. Although she didn't know what had happened between her and Prince Yu, as long as she gave in a little she would be able to resolve the matter, and she wouldn't admit defeat.

Ruan Xiaonuan subconsciously hid her hands, her eyes was filled with spirit energy as she said.

"I like this kind of life. Although it's very tiring, it'll be fine once I get used to it."

Zi Juan helplessly shook her head, and could only leave with the food box. had only just finished lunch and hadn't rested for long, so the royal kitchen had already started preparing dinner. In the afternoon, she finally no longer had anything that needed to be washed, and although her movements were difficult, she finished it on time.

This time, there was no scolding from the Director Liu, so of course there wouldn't be praise.

After a few days of busy work, Ruan Xiaonuan had slowly adapted to this lifestyle. Furthermore, the person she was living with was also a young eunuch. She appeared to be rather honest and was often duped by her. Thus, although she had many inconvenient areas, she had resolved them all.

A few days later, Gu Qingcheng found out that Gu Junxiu had finally chased away the Young Eunuch from the Zhaoyang Palace and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Gu Junxiu bestowed more beauties to them. This time, Gu Junxiu did not object, and accepted all of them.

"I heard that Prince Yu has been very fond of one of the beauties in the palace." During royal kitchen's free time, there would still be gossip. Before, Ruan Xiaonuan would always be able to participate in their conversation, but this time, she kept her distance.

However, their words still echoed in her ears,

"Why would someone like Your Highness like a Young Eunuch before? I really don't understand. "

Fortunately, the number of times she exited the Zhaoyang Palace could be counted on one hand. Even though the people in the palace all knew that Gu Junxiu doted on a Young Eunuch, they knew very little about her looks and appearance. Other than the time when she purposely revealed her identity in order to let everyone know about it.

So even though the people from the royal kitchen were discussing her matter, they didn't know that the Young Eunuch they were talking about was standing right in front of their eyes.

"I'm done washing. Is there anything else I need to do?" Ruan Xiaonuan suddenly walked in front of them and said. They seemed to be dissatisfied with her interrupting their conversation, and spoke impatiently.

"Wash the dishes over there!" Although they had initially thought that she was protected in some way after coming out of Zhaoyang Palace, but after seeing that she had never interacted with anyone from Zhaoyang Palace before, they started to bully her as much as they could. Even if it wasn't her doing, they would still push it onto her.

At the moment, in the Zhaoyang Palace, Chu Ying's face was flushed red as she looked at Gu Junxiu and said gently.

"Your Highness, this is my new snack, you can try it." As he spoke, he brought out a plate of delicately shaped snacks and ate a piece of it symbolically, not even sparing them a glance.

Chu Ying was completely unaware of it, she looked at him in infatuation, her eyes could not bear to look at anyone else. Hua Qingse, who was standing at the side, felt pain in his heart when he saw her expression. People she had always cared about were now in love with other people. Thus, he simply did not hear what Gu Junxiu had just said, and had been thinking about other things the entire time.

He had long known about the relationship between him and Chu Ying like the back of his hand. When he saw his junior sister, he did not feel like doing business, but it was understandable. With the excuse that there were other people's matters, he left this place to the two of them.

When Gu Junxiu left, he did not see the disappointment in Chu Ying's eyes, but Hua Qingse saw everything. Seeing that she was about to leave, he hurriedly said,

"Junior Sister, since I've entered the palace, we haven't had a proper conversation. How about we take advantage of today's opportunity? What do you think?"

In Chu Ying's eyes, it was obvious that she refused, because in this recent period of time, for some reason, Gu Junxiu had started to pay attention to her. Thus, she did not want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings. However, Hua Qingse was her senior brother, so she could not openly refuse him. She could only decline.

"How about another day? I still have some small matters to attend to today. " Hua Qingse chose to believe her words and could only nod her head.

"Since junior is busy, then we'll meet again another day."

Chu Ying immediately took Fu Jiao and left, as if she did not want to stay for a moment.

Gu Junxiu walked out of the front hall, and unknowingly, he had actually walked into the royal kitchen, and Ruan Xiaonuan's face appeared in her mind. He walked in unconsciously, and when the people inside saw that it was him, they immediately fell to their knees.

He looked around the group, but didn't see Ruan Xiaonuan's figure. She felt a faint disappointment in her heart. When he saw their puzzled expressions, she casually said,

"This King is here to take a look!"

After saying these puzzling words, he quickly left the royal kitchen, leaving behind a room full of confused people who were guessing.

"Why did the Prince Yu suddenly come to the royal kitchen?"
