Fell asleep until midnight, Ye Zao stuck to Siye's back, sleeping very soundly.

  After serving Fourth Master several times without him showing any intention of sending her back, Ye Zao felt much more at ease.

  Fourth Master was also sleeping soundly, but a warm body suddenly stuck close to him and he woke up.

  My mind was in a mess for a moment, and I even furrowed my brow.

  But then I remembered, it was Ye Zao serving in the bedchamber.

  Fourth Master didn't like this kind of contact, it was just that he wasn't used to hugging and holding no matter who served him at night.

  However, Fourth Master did not reject this feeling either.

  She put her hand on his waist and gently pinched it, then continued sleeping.

  When he woke up quickly, Ye Zao was scared. The reason is that Fourth Master also slept and forgot that there was a person on his back. With one turn of the body, Ye Zao was pressed down...

  Ye Zao shouted, and it wasn't until then that Fourth Master was woken up.

  And coincidentally, a fairy fight broke out...

  After dragging his noodle-like legs away, he despised Fourth Master for a while, then fell asleep again.

  It's still dark outside, what's the point of staying up?

  Fourth Master instructed Su Peisheng before he left: "From now on, add a few more dishes of snacks for Ye Shi, she's young and might not eat well sometimes."

  After all, the kitchen's rules for concubines are just that strict. If she didn't feel like eating when it was her turn, then she would have to go hungry afterwards.

  Su Peisheng hastily replied: "Ah, wait until Master returns from the palace, then I'll go and tell him."

  The Fourth Master grunted and stopped talking, then went into the palace for his morning court session.

  Su Peisheng was thinking to himself. This Ye Shi is favored, and even eating and drinking are taken care of by the master, which is more meaningful than being rewarded with gold, silver, and clothing.

  What a pity, even if she was favored, she was just a concubine after all...

  I also don't know how long this pampering can last.

  Ye Zao had just finished his breakfast when he saw someone coming from the dining room.

  It's also a coincidence, and it just so happens that Xiao Shunzi is here.

  Four plates of dim sum were sent over: "I don't know what the young lady's taste is like..."

  "Isn't this good? But... isn't the way we make chili salt pastry different here? Yesterday, I almost lost my composure in front of Master..."

  "Listen to the sound, Xiao Shunzi understood and added a sentence: "What's this? These are all made by Li Master who makes desserts. Was yesterday's not good? Try today's?"

  Ye Zao was slightly puzzled and tasted a piece, then frowned: "This... this time is right, yesterday... forget it."

  Xiao Shunzi smiled and didn't ask any more questions, took the reward money and left.

  I think this is Ye Niang's fault for being favored and offending those ghosts in the front yard.

  Back to the kitchen, told the master chef, the master chef was a slap on the head: "Are you stupid? Who calculates who doesn't matter, but the kitchen can't follow and eat hanging losses! If anyone takes our things here to calculate people, who will take responsibility in the end? Others will say that Li Ye's pastries are salty, where can we reason?"

  "What's to be done?" Little Shunzi also felt right, rubbing his forehead and asking.

  "What's the point? I don't care if the wolf ate the sheep or the sheep ate the wolf, anyway this blade of grass is mine and no one can touch it! Go, go to the front yard and ask around, whose hands did these pastries pass through yesterday?"

  The master doesn't care about the infighting in the backyard, whoever gets favored will have a slightly better diet. Isn't this also a rule?

  But if someone is going to take something from the kitchen and calculate it for others, then they have to be in charge!

  Where is the dining room? There's no free lunch in this house.

  So they inquired about something, as long as it wasn't the master's business, there was nothing they couldn't find out.

  It was all clear before noon.

  As for Yuning's thoughts about Master Zhen, there were few people in the mansion who didn't know.

  This time, even the kitchen staff couldn't help but look down on her a bit.

  After learning about this matter, the kitchen quickly made a corresponding move.

  It's very simple: no matter what the master wants, someone from the kitchen will bring it over. Even if the eunuchs and palace maids in the front courtyard want to help, they won't be allowed to; instead, the people in the kitchen will smile and directly avoid them.

  Anyway, this is also a good rule, isn't it?

  At first it was okay for a few days, but gradually, the servant in front of the house lost his job, and it's not easy to find Fourth Master selling well, is it?

  After the incident, we need to find out the root cause. Why did the kitchen suddenly become so arrogant? This is not right.

  Then, the slaves spent money to gather information.

  Soon, I knew what was going on.

  This made Yuning feel embarrassed.

  Yes, in terms of her status, ordinary slaves wouldn't dare target her, but they can't stand someone secretly undermining her...

  Yu Ning is really not well-liked by many people.

  Li Ce Fu Jin disliked her from the very beginning.

  At that time, Li Ce was still a princess and had also suffered at the hands of Yu Ning.

  Unfortunately, Yu Ning was a person from the previous courtyard and didn't like to move around, so nothing has been done about it.

  Nowadays, the whole front yard has begun to alienate Yuning, and Li Cefu's place also has thoughts.

  "You say, now I'm taking revenge, is it still a good time?" The grievances of those years, Li Cefu Jin still remembered.

  "The master wants to take revenge, it's not good to lay hands on the maid in front of the courtyard. If this were one of his concubines? That Yuning also has a few points of beauty, right?" If she didn't have a few points of beauty herself, how could she be so arrogant?

  "You mean... wanting her to serve Fourth Master? The problem is that in all these years, she hasn't succeeded either?" Li Ce didn't understand.

  "Besides, what if I were to serve Fourth Master and gain his favor? Wouldn't that mean I still couldn't touch her?"

  "Don't worry, master. When she was a maid, she was a good one, obedient to your every command. But among the concubines, isn't there one who's favored? You don't know, this Ye Shi has suffered at the hands of Yu Ning many times. Once their status is equal..." Zhao Fu Gui chuckled to himself.

  "Moreover, even you, Master... Think about it, in this backyard, apart from the mistress, who doesn't hate her? If she falls out of favor one day, won't she be punished?"

  "It was indeed, that year she wronged Song Gege, and as a result, Song Gege was punished by kneeling for a long time. Li Ce's wife smiled: "According to you, there are many people who want to take revenge on her."

  "That's it, you see this time, the kitchen just raised its head, and the front yard was completely out of tune, which means that Yuning is also not popular. Zhao Fugui regretted, it's just that he didn't find out why the kitchen did this..."

  "Alright, since you've said so, let's do it this way. Anyway, I'm not afraid to wait a few more years." Li smiled slightly.

  A palace maid who can serve the fourth master is nothing more than a concubine, and such a person may not even be as noble as those few concubines.

  At that time, it's still early for her to receive him.

  Nowadays, a series of reactions, Ye Zao didn't think of it at all, she just wanted to call the kitchen to dislike Yu Ning, but unexpectedly, Yu Ning is so unpopular, really... exhilarating.

  But it's no rush now, because tomorrow is the Spring Festival.
