Chapter 6, I chewed it up for you to eat

Oh. Chu Yuliang nodded, a hint of disappointment on her face, as if she were quite disheartened by her inability to serve him his meal

In modern times, she makes the bed this way

This man is indeed not an easy character to deal with

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Yuliang walked out of the study, experiencing a sense of relaxation for the first time in several days

Since he is not eating, then let her eat instead

Chu Yuliang officially began her service as a maid in the residence of the Xian Wang. Since her identity had already been exposed, she no longer wore a veil, although her face was still marked with many small blemishes that she had applied herself.

Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Chu Yuliang couldn't help but swallow her saliva

Get lost! Finally, the man let out a roar, grinding out a word between his teeth

Chu Yuliang was already a light sleeper at night, and on this day, she was called to work before dawn. One can imagine how much frustration she must have felt.

Since the two had already cleared the air, Chu Yuliang remained relatively calm and composed. After preparing the meal, she respectfully invited him to take a seat, "Your Highness, you may begin to eat."

Ke Chuyuang seemed as if she had not seen anything. She put down the chicken leg, picked up the rice in front of him, and asked in a very considerate and respectful manner, "Your Highness, if you do not mind, shall I chew it up for you to eat?"

... ... '' Watching her actions, Yan Hongxuan glared coldly.

Why is the rice cooked so hard

The following day

Chu Yuliang furrowed her brow, "Your Highness, I do not understand your meaning? This question should be posed by me to you, for you seem to harbor dissatisfaction towards me. In the Chu family, I am at least a young lady, and you are well aware that I am not skilled in these matters, yet you still make me do so many things. Are you intentionally trying to bully me?"

Gritting her teeth, she turned around with resentment, then shook the blanket and neatly folded it up

Despite her gratitude for his kindness, Chu Yuliang did not fully believe what he had said before. The so-called repayment of favors was merely superficial; she did not think this man’s thoughts were so simple. However, given the current situation, she did not have the energy to ponder his intentions.

Thank you. Chu Yuliang said sincerely. At this moment, the fact that someone still believes in her honestly moved her to some extent

Yan Hongxuan walked over from the head of the bed, already dressed in a dark blue python robe, exuding an imposing and powerful presence. With a gaze that did not waver, he passed by Chu Yuliang, commanding without turning his head, "Make sure to tidy up the room"

As for the marriage between the two of them, after a conversation, she was no longer anxious at all. From his expression and attitude, she could not sense any of the feelings that should exist between unmarried men and women. Thus, she did not need to worry about the future marriage at all

Chu Yuliang was taken aback for a moment, and instead of answering, asked, "Does the prince feel that something is amiss?"

To be honest, it was somewhat frightening just now. She was truly afraid that the man would lay hands on her. After all, she now has to rely on him. If he were to act against her, she certainly would not passively endure it. In that case, they would definitely fall out.

With his hands behind his back, Yan Hongxuan approached her with a taut expression on his handsome face. Standing nearly a head taller than Chu Yuliang, he raised his chin slightly, his gaze lowered. The words that slipped from his thin lips carried a hint of disdain and mockery, "This prince has promised to take you in, but you also personally vowed to this prince that you would work like a horse or an ox for him. This prince does not force anyone against their will"

Even the chamber pots used by other male servants are made her wash, what is this if not to make things difficult for her

Knocking on the door and entering the room, she was agile in both hands and feet, but somewhat irritable in her speech, "Your Highness, you may wash up now"

Fortunately, the fire room has already been prepared with hot water, and she only needs to deliver the hot water to the wise king's chamber

Since the time when Chu Yuliang did not understand the rules after lunch, she had not been summoned by the virtuous king until evening. However, Chief Steward Zhao arranged for her to do more tasks, under the pretext of helping her become familiar. Yet, only Chu Yuliang herself knew that Chief Steward Zhao was certainly being difficult with her at the behest of someone.

Chu Yuliang was immediately rendered speechless, unable to utter a single word.

Just when she thought it was time to step back, a man's slightly angry voice suddenly came from behind, "Is this how you do things?"

The man inside has already promised her that he will continue to shelter her until Chu Yunzhou returns to the capital. However, in order to avoid drawing attention, she must appear in the residence of the virtuous prince under the identity of another person

She couldn't do it that way, and she was unwilling. Not only had she been busy all morning without drinking a single drop of water, but that man even complained that the rice was too hard. Wasn't he just deliberately making trouble for her? She simply did not want to go back to the kitchen to start the fire again

The man took his seat, dressed in a blue robe and wearing a jade crown, exuding elegance and nobility. Even his eating was slow and deliberate, pleasing to the eye.

She also expressed gratitude for Han Jiao's years of mistreatment; otherwise, being a maid serving others now would certainly be something she could not get used to. One must understand that after being accustomed to using a gas stove, suddenly having to chop wood and start a fire is not something that can be done well just by saying so

The next day, before dawn, she was awakened by Chief Zhao, who informed her that the virtuous prince was to enter the palace and instructed her to attend to the virtuous prince for his washing and dressing.

Upon leaving the dining hall, she hurriedly ran to the corner and leaned against the wall, smirking with satisfaction.

Looking at the audacious and unruly woman before him, Yan Hongxuan's deep phoenix eyes were filled with coldness

The man across from her was handsome, with an impressive appearance and exceptional demeanor. Although his attitude was neither warm nor cold, and his expression was overly indifferent, giving an impression of being unfathomable, he was not someone she found unpleasant.

However, Chu Yuliang endured all of this. Living under someone else's roof and being bullied is inevitable; she had already anticipated these things when she initially expressed her desire to become his maid.

Chu Yuliang glanced around the entire room, which was relatively tidy, except for the unmade bed. She pursed her red lips and walked over, lifted the blanket, shook it out, and then spread it over the bed

"Chu Yuliang, do you harbor discontent towards this king?" Suddenly, a certain lord asked coldly

She vowed that if one day she turned over, she would definitely trample this cunning and harsh man underfoot

Fold the blanket

At noon, the wise King Yan Hongxuan appeared punctually in the dining hall

Seemingly oblivious to his angry expression, Chu Yuliang once again reached out her claw to grab a chicken leg from the plate, quickly putting it to her mouth for a bite. "Your Highness, this chicken leg is also cooked; if you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

Because most of the time, the virtuous kings live in their fiefs, they only return to the capital when there are significant matters to attend to. Therefore, the number of people working in the virtuous king's residence in the capital is not large, just sufficient.

Bold! Suddenly, the lord was filled with rage, his face turning as dark as if it had been smeared with soot from the bottom of a pot. "Who allowed you to touch my belongings?!"

Just as he had not yet swallowed a bite, the man suddenly set down his chopsticks, his deep gaze slanting towards Chu Yuliang, "Who is in charge of the kitchen today?"

"No need, I will trust you this time." The man behind the desk was also quite straightforward, seemingly having no intention of making things difficult for her

Throughout the morning, she fetched water, washed clothes, chopped firewood, and tended to the fire. Although her hands and feet were not particularly nimble, she did not receive any scolding. Perhaps in an effort to help her adapt quickly, Manager Zhao seemed to treat her with special consideration, even allowing her to serve during the meals of the virtuous king.

Early in the morning, Chief Zhao came over and detailed all the tasks she needed to accomplish, repeatedly reminding her to adhere to the rules of the household

This man is too picky! It's already good to have something to eat, yet he still complains that the rice is hard. I remember when she was in the Chu residence, she had to eat food that was almost spoiled. Moreover, after working hard all morning, her stomach was already growling with hunger

Suddenly, she reached out her hand and grabbed a handful of rice from the man's bowl, quickly putting it into her mouth. After chewing for a moment, she immediately frowned and said, "Your Highness, this rice is cooked. It just lacks a bit of heat.

Chu Yuliang turned around and met his slightly cold gaze, feeling somewhat displeased, "What else does Your Highness require of me?"

As Chu Yuliang paused her action of biting into the chicken leg, she innocently blinked at him and said, "Your Highness, I am helping you taste it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuliang pouted and pointed to the neatly arranged quilt on the bed, "Your Highness, isn't this quite good? It looks nice and saves effort. After all, you will be sleeping at night anyway. Just take off your clothes and lie directly in the quilt."

This is her first time entering this man's room. The size of the room is appropriate, and the arrangement is very orderly. The seemingly valuable furnishings are simple and monotonous in color, appearing as noble as the feeling the wise king gives her, yet lacking in warmth.
