Chapter 340: Borrowing A Residence

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Why didn’t he know that Shao Lin was so talented in speech in the past? If he had used this talent for the imperial examinations, did he still need to wag his tail and flatter him?

To be on the safe side, the Xiongnu did not tell him the true situation of those soldiers’ illnesses. The Crown Prince cherished his life and could be considered to have lost his appetite these few days. Of course, the main reason was that the food was too unpalatable.

As the noble Crown Prince, he naturally disdained to eat the same things as those rough people. Hence, he specially called his chefs in and trapped them in his small courtyard. They were not allowed to go anywhere.

The chef was quite diligent, but even a clever housewife couldn’t cook without rice. He usually made things like bird’s nest and abalone belly for the Crown Prince, but what were the ingredients in the kitchen now? Potatoes, sweet potatoes, dried vegetables, and a pitiful bit of dried meat. Were they edible? He had tried his best, but how could he satisfy the Crown Prince’s mouth, which was used to eating delicacies?

Hence, as soon as the fragrance of the griddle wafted up, he was reprimanded by the Crown Prince again.

Was he to blame for this? If there was anyone to blame, it was the lady chef. It was the Third Prince’s fault for being unfair! The things he gave the lady chef were definitely different from what he gave the Crown Prince!

With this thought in mind, he secretly sneaked into Xiaoxiao’s kitchen and scattered some things into the dehydrated vegetables she was soaking in before slipping away. When he left, he even took away the skewer of meat that Xiaoxiao hung on the eaves. Little did he know that just as he walked out of the door, Xiaoxiao’s figure suddenly appeared in the originally empty kitchen.

She was catching up on sleep in the space just now and was sleeping soundly when she heard the space tell her that a stranger was approaching. She saw with her own eyes the process of the chef scattering the medicinal powder into the ingredients in the space, so her expression was extremely unfriendly when she came out.

Space prompt: [Master, the ingredients have been contaminated.]

Xiaoxiao asked: [What are the consequences of eating it?]

The space replied: [At best, you will vomit and have diarrhea. At worst, you will lose your life.]

What a vicious mind and selfish behavior!

There were still ingredients that could be replaced in the space, so even though the chef was too ruthless, he did not succeed. However, Xiaoxiao was unhappy, so she brought the drugged ingredients back to the space and followed the chef to the Crown Prince’s kitchen when no one was paying attention.

Things were different now. There were only a few people serving the Crown Prince. Hence, after the chef finished his work, he still had to send the food to the Crown Prince before coming back to eat his portion. The moment he left, Xiaoxiao stared at the full bowl of food on the table.

This chef did not treat himself badly. The meat in his bowl was no less than what he gave the Crown Prince.

Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and poked the things on the table.

The chef only returned with the cleared bowls and chopsticks after the Crown Prince finished eating. He placed the tray on the stove. He couldn’t wait to fill his stomach. He was amazed by his culinary skills after just one bite. Look, only he could make such delicious food like pig food!

Who was the Third Prince’s cook? She was just trying to please the crowd! She was just relying on the novelty of the seasonings. He knew that one could buy these at the Li Family’s shop. It was said that even an idiot with bad culinary skills could make good dishes. That cook was relying on these little tricks to seduce the Third Prince so that she could climb up… Eh? Aiyo, why did his stomach suddenly hurt?

Hey, hey, hey, no. He had to go to the toilet!

However, it was strange. The chef seemed to be especially unlucky today. He fell every two steps. He kept feeling as if something had hit his knee. However, when he turned around and looked around, there was no one around. He continued walking and falling. The chef was extremely anxious. He covered his butt with one hand and rolled on the ground with the other.

However… he did not manage to catch up, nor did he hold it in. He heard a series of pops. The chef was choked by the commotion and smell he made. He wanted to struggle for a while, but his feet slipped and he fell again. This time, there was no water on the ground, but he heard the sound of water splashing…

In his embarrassment and anger, his vision turned black and he fainted.

Xiaoxiao, the instigator, could not look at that scene, but she did not regret it. This person deserved it. No matter how much pain he suffered, he deserved it.

This chef was discovered the next morning. However, no one wanted to recall the scene at that time.

He was so dirty and smelly that he started vomiting and diarrhea again. Naturally, the Crown Prince would not use him again. Even though the doctor had taken his pulse and prescribed medicine, he was not allowed to step into the Crown Prince’s courtyard. Shao Lin said, “If you bring this dirty illness in and affect the Crown Prince, can you bear the responsibility? Get lost, get lost!”

The chef did not want to stay with those sick men, so he targeted Xiaoxiao again.

Xiaoxiao was woken up by the sound of knocking on the door this morning. The chef’s knocking made Xiaoxiao’s anger rise when she woke up. The moment the door opened, the chef said to himself, “I want to stay in this courtyard from now on. Change to another place.”

Xiaoxiao looked at him expressionlessly. The chef raised his chin. “Think carefully. If you offend me, I’ll make you regret being born in this world. I’m the Crown Prince’s man.”

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. “Are you sure you’re not his dog?”

The chef put on a straight face, placed his bag on the ground, and began to roll up his sleeves. “I think you won’t cry until you see the coffin… Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye!”

Xiaoxiao didn’t even need to shout one, two, or three to deal with such a person. She grabbed his wrist and threw him away. He was still lying on the ground as Xiaoxiao turned around, kicked his bag away and smashed his face back into the ground.

Heh, ever since she had the space, her physical fitness had improved. She was so strong that it was not a problem for her to throw a pig.

“Since you’re shameless, I don’t have to leave any for you.”

She was clearly a little girl in her teens. Why was he so frightened that he didn’t dare to breathe loudly? This aura was something that the chef had only seen on his Master.

Because he was stunned, the chef forgot to react. He only came back to his senses when Xiaoxiao closed the door again.

He wanted to kick the door again, but he didn’t dare to. Coincidentally, Yun Er, Yun San, and Rong Yan came to deliver ingredients to Xiaoxiao. Rong Yan’s face instantly darkened when he saw the chief lurking outside Xiaoxiao’s door.

Actually, there was no need for Rong Yan to do such a small matter like sending ingredients himself. He was just looking for a reason to meet the person he missed. However, Yun Er and Yun San knew this, but the chef did not. He rushed to Rong Yan as if he had seen his savior. “Third Prince, Third Prince, help me uphold justice. This woman is domineering and unreasonable. I just wanted to borrow this place from her, but she actually attacked me directly. She’s simply vulgar, rude, and vicious!”

Rong Yan said calmly, “Borrow a place to stay?”

The chef’s eyes rolled. “It’s like this. I was a little uncomfortable yesterday and didn’t dare to approach His Highness the Crown Prince’s noble body, so I moved out of the small courtyard. However, I couldn’t stay with those patients who were infected with smallpox, so I wanted to squeeze in with this young lady.. Unexpectedly, not only did she not agree, she even beat me up!”
