Qingque suppressed a smile and responded. The next moment, as if by magic, a plate of pine nut corn appeared from behind him.

After trying all the dishes just now, she found that Xirui was particularly fond of the pine nut corn.

So, I took the initiative to leave an extra plate for her.

After all, this was something Kangxi rewarded Xirui with. There was no reason to let her just sit there and watch with an empty stomach, right?

"If Princess is hungry, you might as well eat something to fill your stomach first." Anyway, no one can be hungry but Xirui cannot be hungry.

Qingque quickly regarded his master's lack of refusal as consent, and then straightforwardly placed the small plate of pine nut corn on the small table nearby.

It can be said that he was blatantly giving her special treatment, "Master, wait a minute."

It just so happened that it would take some time for them to pack the boxes, so Xirui could supervise them while eating.

"This..." Is this really okay?

While Xirui was still stunned, everything had been arranged clearly.

The freshly-cooked pine nut corn was placed in front of her. The aroma made her drool before she even spoke.

No matter how hard she tried to control herself, she couldn't calm her restless stomach.

"Ahem~" Now that it has come to this, she won't be polite!

Thinking so, Xirui turned around and stuffed a big mouthful of pine nut corn into his mouth.

With a sound of "Awoo~", her entire cheeks were puffed up.

The satisfaction from her taste buds instantly reached her cerebral cortex, making her unable to help but squint her eyes and shake her head happily while sitting on the stool.

Of course, sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone.

Even though Xirui was enjoying herself so much, she never forgot her good friend Liuliu.

Relying on the fact that no one around could notice anything was wrong, she not only gave herself a special meal, but also fed 066 mouthful after mouthful until he was half full.

[How is it? How does it taste? Am I kidding you? Is it delicious? ] Xirui asked proudly, obviously confident in the dish she made.

It's a pity that 066's mouth was blocked tightly. Even though she mumbled for a long time, she still couldn't say anything useful.

In the end, he could only pull his hand away, make an OK sign to her, and nodded vigorously a few times before he gave up.

As the people around them were busy, Xirui and 066 took turns eating one bite after another.

In a short while, he finished the small plate of pine nut corn in front of him.

"Burp~" Xirui put down the spoon, wiped his mouth and burped contentedly.

Obviously he was very satisfied with this small plate of pine nut corn.

"Pick a few people with nimble legs to deliver the meals, or the dishes won't get cold." That would be a waste of good food.

Xirui really couldn't bear to leave.

When Qingque heard this, he immediately understood what he meant.

The people who were called were all famous for their efficiency in their work.

As food boxes were handed to them one after another, both Qingque and Yuan Kangshou felt relieved.

"Huh~" Not until the last food box was delivered did everyone who had been busy in the small kitchen for a long time finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone supported each other and sat down to drink water.

No one spoke, and for a moment, the only sound was the slightly heavy breathing.

Seeing this, Xirui also felt that there was nothing for him to do here.

So, after greeting Qingque, he took the others away first so as not to disturb their rest.

Of course, the reason why she wanted to keep Qingque was naturally because she hoped that she could handle some subsequent trivial matters.

For example, to appease Yuan Kangshou and others.

"Thank you very much, Manager Yuan, for taking care of today's matter." Qingque stayed as Xirui indicated and gave rewards to everyone who had been busy in the small kitchen for half a day.

It was because of Xirui's spur of the moment that they had been busy for so long.

It would be unreasonable not to give some reward.

Xirui is not the kind of person who takes other people's efforts for granted.

"Thank you, Princess, for the reward." Yuan Kangshou hurriedly stood up again and respectfully took the purse handed to him by Qingque.

"It is our honor to be able to share the master's worries, and we dare not take credit for it." What these people fear most is not the hard work, but their own inability to be used by their masters.

As long as you have some ability and are remembered by your master, you will not be afraid of not having a chance to succeed.

Therefore, Yuan Kangshou's words were spoken with great sincerity.

Qingque certainly didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. After handing over the purse, he continued to speak, "Eunuch Yuan's craftsmanship is very much appreciated by the princess. I will have to bother you more often in the future. Please don't despise me."

This was said from her own perspective, in an attempt to get closer to Yuan Kangshou.

After all, judging from the recent situation, Xirui's appetite is obviously controlled by Yuan Kangshou.

Qingque came ahead of time to establish a good relationship with him so that he could take better care of his master in the future.

"Miss Qingque, you're too polite." There was a gleam in Yuan Kangshou's eyes, but his face remained humble.

He also worked his way up in the palace, so how could he not understand Qingque's meaning.

She was not only greeting him, but also announcing to him that from now on, the relationship between them as "colleagues" would be closer.

"In the future, I will have to trouble you to speak well of me in front of the princess." Yuan Kangshou lowered his posture and did not feel at all that it would be humiliating for a deputy general manager to speak like this in front of Qingque.

As long as I can find a good future for myself, what does this little bit of face matter?

"These pastries are freshly baked and still steaming. Miss Qingque, please take them back and try them." Yuan Kangshou packed them up personally and handed them to Qingque.

He was so happy at the moment that he was a little dazed and wanted to set up a table to celebrate immediately.

After all, the anticipation of many years has finally come true, so it is inevitable to be a little emotional.

Qingque shook her head and laughed, but did not refuse his kindness and took the big bag of pastries.

When she felt the warmth coming from her palm, she couldn't help but say, "After this incident, Steward Yuan should pay more attention to Eunuch Qin..."

Qin Zhao, another deputy manager of the small kitchen, has served the imperial concubine for many years and is no pushover either.

Although today's incident was Xirui's idea, he did not dare to cause trouble for his master, as he might end up pointing the finger at Yuan Kangshou and others.

The other party has been in this palace for many years, and in terms of seniority, he is even more experienced than Yuan Kangshoulai.

If these two people really confront each other, it would be hard to say who would win.
