Chapter 66
Yaoniang stayed in the West Chamber for a while, then went back to her room.
After entering the bedroom, she saw that Jin Wang was still asleep, so she took off her shoes and went to the couch. Sitting there, she looked at Jin Wang and wondered what to say later.
As she thought about it, Jin Wang opened his eyes.
"Your Highness is awake? Would you like any tea?"
Once she said that Yaoniang got off the couch and went to make tea. Then she brought it over and served Jin Wang to drink. Jin Wang drank a few sips of tea then glanced at Yaoniang who wore an uneasy expression.
The little nanny was rarely so attentive.
Over these last couple of days, Jin Wang also got to know Yaoniang a bit better. Although she was working as a servant now, it was unlikely that she was born from a decent servant family. The way she served others wasn't always appropriate, and could even be said as careless. Sometimes, she didn't even respond when he asked her to do something. But Jin Wang has been served by others since young, and there was no shortage of people to serve him. He was merely surprised by the attentiveness of the little nanny today.
He sat there drinking tea and admiring the expression on her face. At the same time, he felt unbearable inside seeing her like this. She really couldn't hide anything. If he didn't protect her, who knows how she would be bullied to death?
"Your Highness, I want to ask you for something..."
Jin Wang raised his eyebrows.
"This concubine wants to set up a small kitchen in the courtyard..."
She seemed to be aware that this request was a bit over the top. Even though Yaoniang had already mentally prepared herself, her words still couldn't be spoken smoothly. One must know that in this backyard, only the consort's Siyi Courtyard, has a small kitchen. Not even the side consorts have a small kitchen, what more a little concubine like her?
Jin Wang waited for her to continue speaking to see what reason she could come up with.
Yaoniang continued to speak because she desperately wanted to convince Jin Wang. "Although this concubine was born from a commoner family, this concubine's stomach isn't very good, so cold and hard food must be avoided. The main kitchen is also far away from Rongxi Courtyard. If the food was brought over from the big kitchen, this concubine could only eat cold food every meal. If the food was eaten cold, this concubine would feel uncomfortable. If this concubine didn't feel well, how could this concubine serve you..."
"And this concubine seemed to have offended many people already. If they wanted to deal with the concubine, they could put some laxatives into this concubine's meals..." She did not dare to say poison. This word, poison, was considered to be taboo, and the person in charge of the backyard was the consort. Mentioning it would be to question the consort's management ability. Up till now, Yaoniang still hadn't figured out the status of Consort Jin in Jin Wang's mind, so she naturally dared not offend her.
Jin Wang looked at her with a look of 'continue spouting your excuses'.
.
However, Yaoniang felt more and more guilty as she spoke. She was also embarrassed by Jin Wang's look and couldn't help but ask, "Then do you agree or not?"
Jin Wang handed her the teacup and drawled, "If you please this prince, this prince will grant you your wish."
Yaoniang didn't dare to hope and was even a bit discouraged. Once she heard this, she immediately became energetic and looked at him carefully. Seeing that he didn't seem to be making fun of her, she set the teacup on the small bedside table and moved back towards him.
