Chapter 166: The Invitation
The servants, watching Lin Rusi cook herself, didn't dare to utter a sound.
Seeing their nervous expressions, Lin Rusi felt helpless.
To their surprise, Lin Rusi was quite skilled at making things, and soon they could smell the aroma.
To their surprise, the princess herself would cook.
"Actually, there's an art to cooking..."
At this time, Lin Rusi also shared with these people what she had learned in her previous life.
The group listened very attentively.
After the meal was prepared, even the cook from before looked at her with admiration.
"Of course the princess is very knowledgeable. I didn't expect her to be so proficient in kitchen matters. She's really amazing." The cook thought that such a young lady wouldn't do such rough work.
Unexpectedly, Lin Rusi, with her noble status, was able to do such a thing.
Lin Rusi didn't take these words to heart.
Only then did he smile slightly.
"We're all the same, so why differentiate? It just so happens that I happen to have a slight interest in cooking."
After saying that, the master prepared the meal as quickly as possible.
Li Jingyang had already finished all the construction work in his hands, and now he rushed to Lin Rusi's courtyard.
Seeing this large table of food, I assumed it was prepared by the kitchen.
"Chef Li's cooking skills are getting better and better. The food smells especially good today," Li Jingyang couldn't help but praise.
Today's food looked delicious and appealed to all, though it tasted different from before.
Lin Rusi didn't explain when she heard this, she just smiled.
The two maids beside him then quickly spoke up.
"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. How could Chef Li's skills possibly compare to those of our Princess? These dishes were all prepared by the Princess herself for Your Highness."
Wanxia's words shocked Li Jingyang.
After tasting it, I realized that it was indeed Lin Rusi's cooking.
"Your cooking skills are getting better and better. I can tell at a glance that you made these dishes. Chef Li's skills are indeed excellent, but I always feel that the food you make is more to my liking."
Li Jingyang's praise at this moment made Lin Rusi a little embarrassed.
"If you like, I can prepare meals for you every day from now on."
He was originally very interested in making things.
Unexpectedly, Li Jingyang refused the offer without even thinking after hearing this.
“How can that be? These things should be done by servants, you don’t need to worry about them. Besides, such rough work is not something you should be doing.”
Doing it once or twice occasionally is fine, but if Lin Rusi does this kind of thing often, it will make him feel very tired.
So at that moment, he rejected the offer almost without thinking.
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi felt somewhat flattered.
"Your Highness, please don't tease me. You should try it while it's hot. I've noticed you haven't eaten much lately. I wonder if what I made suits your taste?"
Lin Rusi made everything that Li Jingyang liked to eat.
He was well aware of this, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Of course it's good, and these are all my favorite foods. Thank you for your trouble."
"That's nothing."
The two enjoyed their meal very much, and Li Jingyang kept praising Lin Rusi for how delicious her cooking was.
Laughter and cheerful voices could be heard from the courtyard from time to time.
The two maids standing guard outside also looked on with envy.
If I can find someone who treats me this well in the future, it will be worth it.
The next day, when Lin Rusi got up, Li Jingyang had already gone out to handle some matters.
A while later, the housekeeper brought back an invitation from outside.
"Your Highness, this invitation was delivered early this morning. It says that the daughter of the Qi Kingdom's Gong family is hosting a banquet and you are invited to attend."
Lin Rusi was very surprised to hear this.
Previously, my reputation in the capital wasn't very good, so these young ladies wouldn't usually invite me to anything.
The name "Qi Kingdom Kung Fu" sounds familiar now, but I don't think I know it.
"That's quite unusual."
The butler simply smiled when he heard this.
"I suppose these women sent the invitations because of the princess's status. If Faye Wong doesn't want to go, I'll just find some excuse to decline."
It's just a small Qi State Duke's mansion, nothing special.
"Yeah."
At this moment, Lin Rusi also thought of her past self, who was ostracized by those rich young ladies.
He felt a little uneasy. Now that these people had taken the initiative to invite him, there was absolutely no reason for him to refuse.
She wanted to see if those people would still treat her the same way they used to, now that she was a princess.
At this point, his expression also became somewhat unpleasant.
"princess?"
The housekeeper was somewhat helpless, since the person who came to deliver the invitation was still waiting outside.
"Alright, alright, it's been a while since I've attended a banquet like this. In that case, you can just agree for me."
Lin Rusi didn't think much about it at that moment.
She just wanted to see what kind of expression those so-called ladies from prestigious families would have when they saw her.
Thinking about it, I find this matter quite interesting.
After hearing this, the butler quietly took the invitation and left.
For some reason, I felt that the princess's expression just now was a little strange.
The servants of the Duke of Qi's mansion had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw the steward finally return, they stepped forward with some anticipation.
After all, Miss Jin already said that they must get Faye Wong to accept their invitation no matter what.
"Steward Liu, has the Princess consented?"
He spoke with a hint of anticipation at this moment.
"Well, Faye Wong said that she hasn't attended a banquet like this in a long time, so there's nothing wrong with her going to join in the fun. Go back and tell your two young ladies that our princess has agreed."
After hearing this, the attendant finally felt much relieved.
If Lin Rusi doesn't agree to this today, she'll probably be blamed by the two young ladies when she gets back.
He then quickly agreed.
"Thank you, butler."
After saying this, he hurried back to the Duke's mansion. At this time, Shen Mengdie and Shen Mengyi, the two sisters, looked at him with some anticipation.
"How did it go? Did the Princess agree to this?"
The two sisters have been grateful to Lin Rusi ever since the last incident, which is why they decided to host a banquet to invite her.
Seeing the attendant finally nod, the two sisters felt a surge of joy.
I'm so glad I can see Lin Rusi again.
