Once Qian Jiujiu finished her food, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Xiao Manor. Qian Jiujiu got off the carriage first as she summoned Dong Chen and Nan Feng to carry Mu Yexiao down.

As they walked into the manor, Qian Jiujiu told Mu Yexiao, "Your Highness, I'll go prepare food for you now."

"Wait a second."

Looking at Qian Jiujiu walking toward the direction of the kitchen, Mu Yexiao quickly stopped her. Qian Jiujiu returned a doubtful glance at Mu Yexiao.

"What can I do for you, Your Highness?"

Mu Yexiao touched his nose only to realize it was covered by his mask. He then awkwardly retrieved his hand. "It's better for you to shower first before you start cooking. If not, I'm afraid the smell lingers."

Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes twice and sniggered before bursting into laughter. "Haha, at your command. I'll shower right away. Your humble concubine thought Your Highness will even perceive the fart as a fragrance when coming into contact with the prettiest lady."

Upon finishing her statement, Qian Jiujiu turned around and left. Anyone could tell that she looked extremely happy but Ye Muxiao, on the other hand, put on a straight face. Even if she is a beauty, her fart won't be aromatic anyway.

This is, whatever. Thinking of the smell, Mu Yexiao let out a sneer. "Dong Chen, get ready for me to take a shower."

"Alright, Your Highness."

Once Dong Chen replied to His Highness, he went off to make preparations. He mumbled under his breath occasionally. "His Highness is too merciful. Ladies who dare to offend His Highness are meant to be beaten to death."

Dong Chen was indeed dissatisfied with the fact that Qian Yuge was able to escape her punishment! After all, Qian Yuge was an extremely detestable person for him because she dared to look down on His Highness.

She even requested someone to marry to His Highness on her behalf. Even though he found Qian Jiujiu not so detestable, he still thought that she did not deserve to be together with His Highness.

At this moment, Qian Jiujiu had finished showering. She then headed toward the kitchen to prepare honey egg tea and salted egg yolk ingot-like shortbread cookies. Once she was done, she brought over the food to Mu Yexiao's place.

When Qian Jiujiu entered, she realized Mu Yexiao had already taken a shower and he was reading a book in his room.

The person who came across Qian Jiujiu was none other than Dong Chen. "Princess Consort is here."

Upon hearing the voice, Mu Yexiao lifted his head to look at Qian Jiujiu. "Here you are."

Qian Jiujiu murmured in agreement. "That's right. I'm afraid that you'll be hungry so I didn't prepare anything too complex. I ordered the servants to make these salted egg yolk ingot-like shortbread cookies before I went out this morning."

"I made a cup of honey egg tea for you and came over immediately. Try it. How's the taste?"

Mu Yexiao grabbed a piece of the salted egg yolk shortbread cookies and took a bite. "This pastry tastes pretty good. I didn't know that you're not only good at herbal cuisine but you're also an expert at this."

Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes. "I am only good at two things, one is treating patients and another is cooking. The dishes that I cook are mainly related to herbs."

The corner of Mu Yexiao's mouth twitched. As a daughter from a prominent family, you're not good at performing arts and painting, but surprisingly you're good at cooking. Are you preparing yourself to become a cook?
