Xuehua's Request

"What help does the Princess need? As long as I can, I will fulfill it."

Xiao Chen was a little surprised that Xuehua had come so early in the morning to ask for help. Xuehua asked her ladies-in-waiting to allow herself to talk to Xiao Chen alone.

No maids dared to argue with Xuehua, it was an open secret that Xuehua possessed unrivaled power in the Crown Prince's residence so no one wanted to anger her.

"Princess let's talk while walking in the garden." Xiao Chen did not invite Xuehua into his room, even though the two of them were still young but it was inappropriate for them to be alone in a room with no one else.

Xuehua didn't refuse the invitation, she followed Xiao Chen to the garden, "Chen gege, actually I need you to…"

While walking, Xuehua started telling her wishes. To put it simply, Xuehua wanted Xiao Chen to cook for her family.

"Some days Mother is so late in sadness, I think Chen gege's delicious cooking can make Mother's mood better."

Xiao Chen smiled awkwardly, indeed Xuehua had strength that even adults didn't have but her mind was still so simple. The grief of losing two sons wasn't something that could be cured with delicious food, but perhaps this was Xuehua's way of thinking.

"No problem, Princess's request I can fulfill."

"Thank you Chen gege, then let me show you our residence's kitchen." Xuehua smiled faintly.

On the way to the kitchen, Xuehua poured her heart out to Xiao Chen. Whether it was just filling the silence or Xuehua felt quite close to Xiao Chen.

"Chen gege, I've never been close to my two brothers and you could even say our relationship is closer even though we haven't met for a long time. It's just that when I found out I wouldn't be able to meet and talk to them again, my heart hurt…"

Xiao Chen didn't find it surprising, that was just how blood relations were. Xiao Chen chose to remain silent as he listened because he didn't need to comment on anything and had no way of making Xuehua feel better.

Only when Xuehua finally stopped talking did Xiao Chen take out the jade bracelet that Xuehua had given him. Xuehua asked Xiao Chen to return it when the two met again.

"Ah, Chen gege can keep the bracelet. Consider it to remember me." Xuehua smiled when she saw the jade bracelet, she realized that Xiao Chen would also not be staying in their residence for too long so she wanted Xiao Chen to keep the bracelet.

Xiao Chen scratched his cheeks, he put the jade bracelet back in his robe.

The Crown Prince's residence's kitchen was very large because it was their job to cook for everyone living in the residence. Considering that there were several hundred people living in this residence, it was no wonder that there were around twenty cooks in charge of cooking in the kitchen.

"Princess!"

Xuehua's arrival surprised everyone, they left the work they were doing and paid their respects to Xuehua.

Xiao Chen held back his laughter, he could see that Xuehua was more feared than Yin Song in this residence.

"Apart from the main chef, everyone please return to your respective jobs." Xuehua ordered.

Xiao Chen could see Xuehua's character as a princess was indeed a bit bossy plus her spoiled nature, it would be hard to find a partner who could handle her given the strength that her petite body possessed.

"Princess, what do you need to go to the kitchen?" The main chef broke out in a cold sweat facing Xuehua.

Xuehua explained she wanted to let Xiao Chen cook for Yin Song, Mu Rong, and herself. The main chef's expression immediately changed, he saw Xiao Chen who was standing behind Xuehua.

"Princess, this…" The main chef naturally objected to a brat like Xiao Chen cooking in his kitchen, his pride as a chef would not allow it, let alone that the food would be served to the Crown Prince's household.

"No need to worry, Father and Mother have eaten Chen gege's dishes before, they like it. Uncle remember Mother gave some recipes for you back from Valley of a Hundred Swords right? Chen gege is the owner of the recipe." Xuehua patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, causing him to cough lightly.

"This girl can't control her energy perfectly yet!" Xiao Chen screamed in his heart, his shoulder ached from the clap.

The main chef's eyes widened, Xiao Chen didn't know why it was because he discovered the recipe was made by himself or because he didn't react when Xuehua patted him hard enough.

"Princess said the previous recipes were made by this Young Master?"

The main chef still remembers being shocked when Mu Rong brought back some recipes back from the Valley of the Hundred Swords, it would take him several months to make a similar dish but Mu Rong commented he couldn't make it as good as the original chef's.

Several other chefs who were not far overheard the conversation, they were just as shocked as the main chef and now looked at Xiao Chen.

"Instead of giving a long explanation, how about Chen gege show it to you guys?"

Xuehua asked Xiao Chen to cook some dishes in front of the chefs. Xiao Chen scratched his cheek while smiling awkwardly, he looked at the available ingredients and started to prepare them.

The other chefs stopped working because they were curious about Xiao Chen's ability. They were stunned when they saw Xiao Chen with his small hands holding a large butcher knife carelessly. Xiao Chen's hand movements were nimble, not inferior to other professional chefs.

Xiao Chen chose vegetables as the main ingredients of his dishes, he had heard that neither Yin Song nor Mu Rong had an appetite these past few days so he thought meat dishes would be hard to digest.

In about half an hour, the kitchen began to fill with the delicious aroma of dishes. Xuehua who was slightly displeased before because Xiao Chen cooked vegetables she didn't like was now smiling broadly.

"How can a vegetable dish give off this kind of aroma?"

"Oh, it turns out that this ingredient can be used as a seasoning…"

"You see? When he put the garlic in the oil, a nice fragrance spread. Who thought of doing that before?"

The chefs couldn't stop being stunned, Xiao Chen showed them cooking methods and spices that they had never seen before. Some people couldn't even hold back the tears.

"Shouldn't you all also prepare dishes? It's time for breakfast soon, right?"

Xiao Chen's question alerted the chefs and others, the sun was getting high and the time to eat was approaching. They no longer paid attention to Xiao Chen but were busy preparing dishes.

"Princess, I can continue the rest here. It would be best for the princess to come back and make sure the Crown Prince eats this dish."

Xuehua nodded slowly before leaving the kitchen to meet Yin Song and Mu Rong.
