The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 240 It’s better not to meet, so that I won’t miss you

Although the kitchen of the Regent Princess was burned, there were still many other houses, and they quickly found a replacement place, but now they were short of manpower, so the Regent Palace needed to recruit people who could cook. They had already recruited, but there was no suitable candidate for three days. At this time, a man came over, who was about 30 years old.

The old housekeeper was almost worried. There was no cook in the palace these days, so he had to buy one from outside. There were also many people who applied for the job these days, but none of them met the requirements.

The person who came was Murong Ye. The housekeeper looked Murong Ye up and down. It might not be easy for him to be fair and clean. Is this a material for cooking? This is a young master.

"Sir, we are looking for someone who can cook. We are not looking for a gentleman. Please go back."

The old butler looked at Murong Ye and felt that he did not look like an ordinary person, so he denied it outright.

Murong Ye smiled and said, "Old housekeeper, you can't judge a person by appearance. I'm not a young master. Why don't you test me first to see if the food I cook suits your family's taste. If you're not with your family, I'll still have time to leave."

The old housekeeper had no other options. The regent had been urging him these days, and he was almost turning the palace upside down. But there was no suitable cook. It seemed that he could only try his best to save the situation.

"Okay, then you can give it a try. Tell me your name and where you live. I need to register."

"My name is Mu Ye, from Xiaolianzi Village in Bingzhou..."

"Okay, come with me. Remember... you are mainly responsible for the meals of the Regent King and the Regent Princess in the palace. The Prince and the Princess are very particular about meals. The Princess... likes spicy food... You must remember what I told you above. You can make today's lunch as you see fit. The Prince and the Princess do not require a lot of food, but they require it to be delicious. The lunch should have five dishes and a soup. You can decide how to make it. If the food you cook meets the taste of the Prince and the Princess, you can stay. The salary is 30 taels of silver per month. If you do a good job, the master will reward you."

"Okay... I will definitely satisfy the master, brother housekeeper, don't worry. I have already noted the masters' tastes." Murong Ye thought to himself, this regent princess is really picky! She won't eat this, and she won't eat that either.

But now I have taken the first step, after all, I have entered the Regent's Palace. Fortunately, I am very particular about my daily diet and have done some research on it, so I have no problem with what they told me.

Murong Ye's hands and feet were very quick. In less than an hour, five dishes, a soup, and the staple food, rice, were ready.

The butler came over and looked at the five dishes and one soup. The colors were indeed very good. Now it depended on whether they met the needs of the two masters.

Now it was time for dinner, and after the butler had tested the food with a silver needle, he personally delivered five dishes, a soup, and the staple food to Xilinxuan.

Shen Yan's taste was also very picky. He had been ordering takeout from restaurants these days. He was tired of eating in restaurants, and Sang Ning's taste was even pickier. But there was no suitable cook, so there was nothing he could do.

Today, Shen Yan and Sang Ning saw the food served. The color was good. Shen Yan picked up the chopsticks and tried a bite. It was indeed very good.

"Ning'er...you should try it too, it should suit your taste."

Sang Ning also picked up the chopsticks and tried a bite. It tasted really good.

"Butler, which restaurant did you buy this from? Is it a new restaurant?"

"My Lady Princess, the palace has hired a new chef today. Your Majesty, what do you think of the meals he cooks? If it's okay, I will keep him and let him stay in the palace. He will serve you and your Majesty in the future. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The butler saw that the prince and princess were quite satisfied with today's charity. So he asked if he could keep the person today. If he did, he wouldn't have to worry about finding the royal chef every day. As for the others, they didn't have particularly picky tastes, so anyone who could cook would be fine.

"Ning'er...what do you think? If you think it's okay, then let this person stay here today."

"Okay... let him stay. By the way, I have a recipe here. The butler will pass it to that person and make it according to the recipe every day..."

"Okay, Princess, I'll go right away. Prince, Princess, enjoy your meal, I'll take my leave..." When the butler saw that the prince and princess agreed to stay, he left.

The housekeeper thought, our prince seems to love the princess very much now. Before, the two of them talked less, although they were respectful to each other. But everyone in the mansion knew that the prince only respected the princess, but since the princess fell into the water, the prince seemed to have changed his attitude towards the princess, and the housekeeper looked at the recipes and found that the princess knew the prince's hobbies very well.

It seems that the princess's love for the prince was hidden in her heart, otherwise she would not know many of the prince's hobbies and taboos. He gave Murong Ye a recipe he wrote and told him to follow the recipe every day.

Murong Ye looked at the recipes on the cookbook. The recipes were different every day.

"Brother Butler, is this what the prince requested?"

"What? The prince is just a bit picky. He won't explain it in this way. It's our princess. Remember, you must follow the recipe on the cookbook. Otherwise, if you make the master unhappy, you will probably have to leave."

Murong Ye agreed. He took the rice paper and looked at the words on it. The handwriting did not look like that of a woman, but more like that of a man. And he seemed to have seen this handwriting before.

Oh, right... He often dreams of a woman, but he can never see her face. She wears a veil and doesn't speak. She just looks at him quietly. He doesn't know who this woman is. He just feels very heartbroken when he sees her.

He runs over and chases the woman, who usually throws out a piece of paper with a few words written on it.

It would be better if we did not meet, so that I would not miss you. It would be better if we did not know each other, so that I would not miss you. But once we have met, we know each other. How can meeting be better than not meeting? How can I break up with you, so as to avoid missing you?

Then the woman would disappear, but he remembered those few words very clearly. Who was this woman? Why did she appear in his dreams so often? She even wrote a doggerel for him. The content of the poem was very sad, but the font was very powerful.

He had already memorized the poem and the font. Since he had dreamed about it, he might have had a certain relationship with this person in his previous life. So he had been looking for someone who was similar to himself in his dream over the years, but had never met him. Unexpectedly, he saw the same font in this cookbook today.

The Regent Princess...she...why is it that the handwriting of this Regent Princess is exactly the same as the handwriting that the woman used to write limericks to me in my dream, with basically no difference.

Princess Regent... Sang Ning... Who are you? But now that I have come to your Regent Palace, we will meet soon. If we really have a bond, then don't even think about leaving me.
