Farewell Flower Festival

When Chaoyan was about to count the wooden cracks on the table, an enticing aroma wafted over. It was the aroma of chicken soup. She immediately perked up, her head quickly pulled up from the table, and her eyes stared at the door with sparkling eyes.

Mu Tianling glanced at her, stood up and left, putting the book on the desk behind him. When he came back, Eunuch Wu had already placed the midnight snack on the table.

Two bowls of hot and fragrant chicken noodle soup~

Looking at the golden soup, white noodles and tender green onions, Chao Yan felt like she couldn't control her saliva. She quickly pursed her lips and thought to herself that this eunuch Wu's cooking skills were pretty good~

Eunuch Wu placed the midnight snack in front of the two and then left. When he left, the amiable smile on his face made people feel friendly, and he didn't look scary at all. Chao Yan politely waited for Mu Tianling to pick up his chopsticks before picking up the spoon to taste the soup. She felt astonished... er... heavenly chicken, it was so fragrant that she wanted to cry. It felt like she hadn't tasted such a warm taste for a long time. The warm soup seemed to flow down her throat and into her heart...

"Is it really that delicious?" Mu Tianling asked.

Chaoyan didn't react at first, but when she realized it, she felt wetness in her eyes. She raised her hand to touch them and found that she was crying. But this emotion didn't seem to be her own. Could it be that the original owner still had a little consciousness left in this body... a little consciousness longing for warmth. What a pitiful little girl... She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, took another sip of the warm soup, and secretly made a decision in her heart that she must help the original owner to fight for her reputation and make a name for herself!

"It seems like you don't usually eat anything good." Mu Tianling picked up a few noodles slowly and put them into his mouth slowly, so elegant that it was a bit artificial. He complained in his heart and changed the subject, asking, "Is Eunuch Wu the only one serving His Highness?"

Mu Tianling raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a hint of mockery: "You still want to serve me?"

Chao Yan thought that was a wishful thinking. She rolled her eyes and thought of a good candidate. "Sister Yunxiang is prettier than me, and she is considerate and caring. She is much better than me."

Mu Tianling sneered: "You are quite self-aware."

Chao Yan showed an innocent smile, "Your Highness and Sister Yunxiang will definitely get along well."

Mu Tianling snorted, looking at him as if he was a fool. Chaoyan felt a little embarrassed, and buried her head in her noodles, and sighed in her heart that Eunuch Wu's cooking skills were really good, he was really good at both cooking and cooking~

When there was not even any soup left in Chao Yan's bowl, Mu Tianling was still picking noodles leisurely. Out of politeness, she continued to sit and wait for him to finish eating. She complained in her heart that although the way he ate was a bit artificial, it was still a bit nice~

"Are you still not full?" Mu Tianling mocked.

Chao Yan was speechless, thinking that she was not sitting here waiting for his leftovers. Even if he pushed the bowl in front of her now, she would still dislike the saliva in it.

When Eunuch Wu came in to clean up the dishes, Chaoyan also took the initiative to help clean up, and then followed Eunuch Wu to the kitchen to help wash the dishes. After all, she had to repay the favor of others for their kindness.

"Uncle, your cooking skills are so good~"

Hearing the name "Shu'er", the smile on Eunuch Wu's face became even more amiable. Chaoyan thought that she seemed to like this name very much, so she called her "Shu'er" again. Eunuch Wu agreed kindly and took the initiative to inquire about her personal situation, where she was from, how many people were in her family... Chaoyan told him about her tragic life story with exaggeration. Because her face was burned by fire, her parents didn't want her because she was ugly. She was sold here and there by human traffickers, and finally sold into the palace.

Eunuch Wu kindly advised her to look forward, and then asked her if she wanted to change her job. Chaoyan looked at the amiable smile on Eunuch Wu's face, and her intuition told her that there was a pit ahead, but there was no way to get ahead under Aunt Li, and it was very likely that she would see another eye-catching scene. After thinking for a while, she tentatively asked, "Uncle, do you really have a way to change my job?"

Eunuch Wu smiled and said, "Your Highness is in need of a servant."

Chao Yan thought that it was a trap, and it turned out that the chicken noodle soup was not eaten in vain. "Uncle, I think His Highness seems to hate me. I'd better not make things difficult for His Highness."

Eunuch Wu smiled and said, "If Your Highness really hated Miss Xiao Lian, he wouldn't have said so much to you. Miss Xiao Lian is different from the people in this palace."

Chao Yan was skeptical about the first half of the sentence, but agreed with the second half. After all, she was a time traveler, so she was naturally different from others.

"Alas~" Eunuch Wu sighed, "His Highness has no one to talk to around him. He keeps everything to himself. He is becoming more and more withdrawn. What will happen in the future?" As he spoke, he raised his sleeve to wipe his eyes, as if he was crying with heartache.

Seeing the other party's tears coming out at any time, Chao Yan twitched her lips and comforted him, "Uncle, don't be sad, His Highness will definitely get better and better." She added, "His Highness just said that he wants to find a good-looking servant." Before she could finish the rest of her words, Eunuch Wu caught her soft spot.

"I will make delicious food for you every day from now on."

"Um...Um, uncle, can you answer a question for me first?"

"You said."

"Well, could it be that the chicken was stolen by you?"

"Shhh."

“……”It seems he is a habitual offender.

On the way back, Chaoyan wanted to slap herself in the face, thinking that it was all because of her greed. Before leaving, Eunuch Wu smiled and told her not to worry and asked her to go back and think about it carefully for two days.

Oh, God, please give her some guidance. Is that kid the male protagonist as rumored? She doesn't want to be a cannon fodder anymore. She might die someday, just like the one whose cause of death was briefly mentioned in the book, without even a funeral...

After thinking about it negatively for a while, positive thoughts began to prevail. Chao Yan thought that the kid was studying hard at night, maybe he had potential, and she didn't seem to have a better choice now. At least Eunuch Wu was a good cook and promised to make delicious food for her every day. She didn't expect it every day, just a good meal every now and then would be enough~

It was already late at night when he came back. Chaoyan pushed the door open quietly, groped his way to the innermost bunk in the faint moonlight outside the window, and went to bed quietly.

It was the first time that Chaoyan slept together with someone else, and she couldn't fall asleep at all. After a while, she heard the sound of someone pushing the door open quietly, and someone sneaked back. She stared at the other person secretly, and it was Yunxiang.

Chaoyan probably guessed who the other party was going to meet. In the original owner's memory, she had seen Yunxiang and Eunuch Qian talking behind people's backs once or twice, and their relationship was a bit subtle. Before, Yunxiang was sneaking around in the yard probably to eavesdrop on what Eunuch Qian and Aunt Li were talking about. She probably felt unwilling to be inferior to Aunt Li in her heart.

Aunt Li was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Yunxiang. She probably realized that Yunxiang had an affair with Eunuch Qian. Since two people are fighting over something, she might as well add fuel to the fire.
