Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Because in this magnificent palace, no noble person would be willing to step into this place called royal kitchen. Although in comparison to the kitchen of ordinary citizens' homes, royal kitchen was as clean as dirt, in their hearts, they still believed that this place would allow their noble and elegant clothes to be stained.

Although they were eating every day, in their entire lives, they had never come to this place called royal kitchen before. This was why they were so shocked when they saw Gu Junxiu.

The discussion in the kitchen did not stop long after he left. However, no one knew the reason why he was here today. It was as if this matter had become a mystery.

Not long after Gu Junxiu left, Ruan Xiaonuan appeared in the royal kitchen. Hearing their excited discussion, she asked curiously.

"What just happened?" She had been called by the Director Liu to do other things and had temporarily left for a while, but she felt that in that short period of time, something interesting had happened.

The moment she finished speaking, someone began to tell her vividly about Gu Junxiu's previous visit, and said regretfully to her.

"It's a pity that you weren't here just now. Otherwise, if you had begged for mercy, you might have been able to return to the Zhaoyang Palace."

Ruan Xiaonuan was very glad she left just now, if not she would have no face to face him with. She carelessly echoed the eunuch's words.

"That's right!"

Perhaps she had seen that she was not in the mood to listen to all of this, the excited and spirited eunuch that was talking to her immediately lost interest. Ruan Xiaonuan did not care about all these. She smiled indifferently and continued doing the work in her hands.

"You guys have the time to chat here. It's almost noon, have you guys finished all the work already? "Do you not want that head on your head?" Amongst everyone, only Ruan Xiaonuan survived and the rest scattered with their tails between their legs.

Just as she was about to go back and rest, she saw a familiar figure and hurried over to greet him.

"Fu Jiao, why are you here?" However, as if she didn't know her at all, Fu Dian walked past her.

Puzzled, she stopped where she was. After a long while, she still chased after him and asked.

"Fu Jiao, didn't you see me just now?" This time, Fu Jiao finally looked directly at her, and seeing so many people here, she awkwardly said:

"So it's the Little Eunuch Ruan. I left in a hurry just now, and I thought it was some unimportant person." Ruan Xiaonuan only thought that her words were weird, but she could not find out the reason. Therefore, she just threw it to the back of her mind and asked her with a smile,

Why did you come to royal kitchen? Her master, Chu Ying, did not have a position in the palace, so according to the rules, she did not have the qualifications to come to the royal kitchen to get dinner. But seeing that Fu Jiao was adept and didn't seem to have gone wrong, she was extremely puzzled.

Ruan Xiaonuan's originally normal words, in the ears of the Lotus, were extremely ear-piercing. As if she was looking down on her master, her tone immediately turned colder.

"This is the privilege granted by His Highness. In the future, my master can make whatever he wants to eat available to royal kitchen."

She wanted to see what kind of jealous expression appeared on Ruan Xiaonuan's face, but to her disappointment, other than a slight smile, she couldn't find any other traces of jealousy.

Fu Dian uninterested turned around to look for Director Liu. After explaining the reason for his visit, his face was full of a flattering smile.

"Miss Fu, all the things that your young lady wants to eat are all here. I've already prepared all the random things." He brought her a food box.

When Fu Dian left, when she saw that Ruan Xiaonuan's figure was no longer in the kitchen, she told Director Liu in a small voice:

"Since the Head Supervisor thinks so highly of us, master and servant, then I will tell you something that will benefit you today." The smile on his face deepened as he thought that he was going to be promoted to a rich official.

"Your Little Eunuch Ruan came out from Zhaoyang Palace, he's good at instigating discord, and it's precisely because of this that Your Highness chased him out. Now that he's here, you should be careful, it's not his way." After he had finished speaking, he left with the food in his hand in satisfaction. He planned to go back home and talk to his master about the rewards he might get.

However, Director Liu was a little disappointed when he said this, because he didn't care about it at all. Even if he had a plan, it would not be able to reach the sky in his hands.

But when he looked at Ruan Xiaonuan again, he was more or less prepared.

After Fu Xian returned to the Zhaoyang Palace, she told Chu Ying about Ruan Xiaonuan's recent developments. Her eyes revealed a complacent smile.

"He wants to fight me with just him?"

As if he was mocking her for overestimating her abilities, Fu Dian, who was at the side, also laughed.

Ever since Ruan Xiaonuan entered the royal kitchen, he rarely walked around the palace. Firstly, she was very tired every day, and secondly, she did not want to meet Gu Junxiu. Today, at this hour, he was still in the imperial court and she just so happened to be fine. She quickly went to the long-awaited Imperial Garden.

She had never been to the royal garden since she entered the palace. However, she had heard others mention that the flowers were always blooming and undefeatable. Furthermore, there were also a lot of strange flowers and herbs, which were basically things she had never seen before.

Because she was a Young Eunuch, she could go to almost any place other than the forbidden grounds. Even before arriving at the imperial garden, he could already smell a strange fragrance that was refreshing to the heart. She quickened her pace and followed the scent until she found a red plum tree.

Who would have thought that after the winter was almost over, the plum blossom would still be blooming. She stopped in her tracks to admire the scenery. This was a rather remote place, so most people would not notice her.

"Do you feel that there is anything special about this red plum tree?" Suddenly a strange voice interrupted her.

When she looked back, she saw an old woman who was not wearing silk. He guessed that she was an old maid from the old palace, so he didn't hesitate to share his doubts. The old woman looked at her strangely and asked.

"The other people who come to the imperial garden would all be attracted by the magnificent flowers in front. Why did you have your eyes set solely on this unremarkable red plum?" Ruan Xiaonuan lowered her head and laughed embarrassedly:

"Because I don't recognize those flowers. I only recognize this red plum."

The old woman couldn't help but laugh when she heard her honest words. and said to her,

"You're not like those in the palace. There are no other honest people in the palace." When she said this, it was as if she was lost in her memories.

Ruan Xiaonuan didn't know if she was praising or not, but she scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and stood there without leaving. She asked curiously, "Old granny, have you lived in the palace for many years?"
