The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 16 - Honors from the Kitchen

But today, it seemed that Eunuch Pan had come after changing into a new outfit, and he bore no smokey scent on him.

Following him were four young eunuchs carrying quite a lot of items. Lin Wanyi glanced over, feeling quite curious.

"Eunuch Pan, did you come for a specific reason?"

"The young lady has just entered the palace, and I don't have much good to offer. However, early this morning, I saw Xiao Luzi go to the kitchen for flour. I was afraid the servants below wouldn't handle things carefully, so I specially brought some good things for the young lady."

After saying this, he presented various utensils and food items from the kitchen.

When Chun Qi saw those things, her eyes lit up.

She turned to look at her young lady as if asking if they could accept them.

Lin Wanyi chuckled silently, not expecting the people from the imperial kitchen to be so "thoughtful."

Just moments ago, Eunuch Dong had delivered some side dishes, and now the kitchen staff had sent these items as well. Although it contained flattery, it was also a suitable gesture of goodwill.

So she nodded and spoke to Eunuch Pan.

"Thank you for your kindness, Eunuch. My maid enjoys making food at home, and I thought to have her prepare some snacks to satisfy our cravings. I didn't expect to trouble you, and I hope you won't take it to heart."

"What are you saying, my lady? I am happy to serve you, and if there's anything you lack in the future, just have Xiao Luzi come find me, and I will prepare everything for you."

"In that case, thank you, Eunuch Pan!"

After hearing a couple of flattering words, Lin Wanyi had Chun Qi pass a purse to him. It wasn't heavy, but Eunuch Pan's expression grew even better.

Inside, it was likely to be silver notes, which are worth more than loose silver.

It seems that coming to Yihua Palace was not a mistake. The young lady in front of him is not only kind-hearted but also generous. Seeing that Eunuch Dong came to the kitchen personally to take away the side dishes, he guessed His Majesty liked her very much.

Thus, when the opportunity to curry favor arose, one must not let it slip away!

So, smiling, he accepted the purse and continued,

"I will have someone send some charcoal and cooking utensils over shortly. When I came in earlier, I noticed that the side room at the entrance was quite nice, and it would be suitable to set up a small kitchen."

Having a small kitchen of one's own is certainly good, but doesn't it seem a bit beyond the norm for someone at Daying's rank to have one?

"It is good, but the palace has rules..."

Lin Wanyi had only spoken halfway when Eunuch Pan quickly understood and immediately interjected,

"Don't worry, my lady. Eunuch Qin specifically instructed that it wouldn't be considered a violation."

If it's not a violation, then that's good.

Looking again at Eunuch Pan's slightly plump, rounded figure, Lin Wanyi found him quite adorable.

With the "gift" from the imperial kitchen, everyone in the left side hall now had something to do.

After lunch, Lin Wanyi went to rest, while Chun Qi pulled Xiao Luzi and Xia An into the side room, where they fussed around and actually turned a small space into a little kitchen.
