Wang Yiyao didn't sleep well that night, and kept dreaming about something.
In the morning, Manager Xu asked the maid to wake up Wang Yiyao, "Madam, are you awake? The master said you should go out."
"When you wake up, go and tell your elders. I will go to the front hall immediately and ask him to wait for me for a while."
As soon as the maid returned to the front hall, Wang Yiyao arrived with her back legs.
It was still dark at the moment, only the eastern sky was slightly whiter, and there was no one on the road.
"Princess, let's just wait at the Tonghui River. It's close and we don't have to walk a long way."
Wang Yiyao was a little confused. Isn't there water from a well in the palace? Why did he have to go to Yuquan to transport water into the palace?
"Master Steward, why is there not enough water in the palace? We have to go outside the palace to transport water."
"Princess, you don't know something. The water used in the Emperor's palace is from Yuquan, and it has to be transported out every few days."
"Oh, I see."
While walking, Wang Yiyao couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the emperor's life was so good, and the water had to be transported hundreds of miles away.
After walking for about half an hour, Wang Yiyao and Manager Xu came to the bridge. The railings of this bridge were very high, so people far away could not see what happened on the bridge.
No wonder Manager Xu chose this place, this ginger is still very spicy.
After waiting for a while, the water truck arrived. When the leader saw Manager Xu, he quickly stopped the carriage, and he hurried over to say hello to Manager Xu.
"Hey, what happened, Mr. Butler? Why are you waiting here?"
Manager Xu pulled the leader aside and said, "Let the princess hide in your water tank and sneak into the palace later. When you arrive, you can arrange the princess to the warehouse of the House of Internal Affairs. I will go find the princess then."
"
"Okay, princess, please come with me."
The leader of the water truck placed Wang Yiyao in a large tank at the end and set off.
Manager Xu then returned to his yard.
"For what?"
"It's me, Old Zhoutou. Didn't I just come back from carrying water?"
"Oh, it's you, come in."
In this way, Wang Yiyao followed the water truck into the palace smoothly. After Lao Zhoutou arranged all the water in the water tank, he secretly pulled Wang Yiyao out.
"Princess, come with me quickly and I will take you to the warehouse."
Wang Yiyao lowered his head and followed closely behind Lao Zhoutou, for fear of being recognized by someone.
"Hey, Old Zhoutou, who is this person? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"
"Hush, this is a distant relative of Manager Xu, and he is planning to enter the kitchen."
After going around a few roads, we arrived at the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "Princess, please wait here for a while. Manager Xu will be here soon."
"Okay, please."
Wang Yiyao hid in the warehouse, bored, and wandered around the warehouse. It was really a treasure house, with everything.
There are materials for making clothes, decorations in the palace, and even soap balls used by the concubines.
When Wang Yiyao was looking inside with great interest, she heard the sound of the door opening, and she quickly hid. Through the gap between the shelves, Wang Yiyao saw that it was Manager Xu, and then came out.
"Princess, please wait for me here. I'll go to the royal kitchen and say hello there as well."
"Okay, go ahead."
Manager Xu came to the imperial dining room in a leisurely manner. He was also responsible for all the affairs here, but he usually left them to Chef Lin.
"Master Xu, you are here, what are your orders?"
"I have a distant relative in my family who has some skills. I want to arrange it with you so that I can rest assured."
Chef Lin was also supported by General Manager Xu when he entered the palace and gradually became the chef, so he was very loyal to General Manager Xu.
"Okay, don't worry if you leave me here, I won't treat you badly."
"Okay, give me a cook's clothes, and I'll bring you over in a moment."
"Okay, just wait, I'll get the clothes now."
Manager Xu took the clothes and returned to the warehouse. "Princess, please forgive me and change your clothes here. I will take you to the kitchen."
After saying this, Manager Xu closed the door and went out. Wang Yiyao took the clothes, went inside, and changed quickly.
"Sir, let's go."
Manager Xu was still walking in front, and Wang Yiyao was walking behind with her head lowered, looking timid.
"Chef Lin, come here."
They didn't talk in the yard, but went into the food storage room next to it.
"This is my distant relative. You must take good care of it, otherwise I will question you."
Wang Yiyao raised her head and glanced at Chef Lin, "I've met Chef Lin."
When he raised his head, Chef Lin saw Wang Yiyao's face. He had seen Wang Yiyao before, and his face suddenly changed color.
"This this……"
"You just need to take good care of her. If anything happens, I'll take care of it."
Chef Lin nodded, he didn't dare to say anything more, knowing that Manager Xu had his own ideas for doing this.
"Then come with me."
Wang Yiyao followed Chef Lin to the imperial dining room, which was much larger than she imagined.
At a glance, there were all vegetables and various foods, as well as several large pots. Chef Lin took Wang Yiyao to the innermost part.
"This is the snack room, you can just place the finished products here."
Wang Yiyao saw that this snack room was very small, and she was the only one there. People outside would make snacks and deliver them here. When the time comes, each palace would place an order for what they needed.
"Okay, thank you, Chef Lin."
"Princess, you must be careful. If you have nothing to do, it's best not to leave this room."
Wang Yiyao nodded.
After Chef Lin arranged for Wang Yiyao, he went to the food storage room. Manager Xu hadn't left yet.
"Master, you are taking too big a risk. I am worried."
"You coward, what are you afraid of? You have risked your life for our Western Qin. Look at how difficult our life has been since King Shu took control of the entire palace. We must not let him succeed."
Chef Lin thought about it. This King of Shu is so inhumane. He eats delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, lives an extremely luxurious life, and is cruel and beats his slaves at every turn.
It's only been a few days, but the people in the palace can't stand it anymore. In the long run, they will really be driven crazy by him.
"Master, I listen to you. In order to restore Xi Qin to its past, I will accompany you on this adventure."
Manager Xu patted Chef Lin on the shoulder, turned around and went out without saying anything.
These days, he has been trying to find ways to help the emperor, but the people of the King of Shu are guarding him too tightly, and there is no chance at all.
