Chapter 843 - Chapter 843 Chapter 843 The Old Princess Consort of Prince Qi

Chapter 843: Chapter 843 The Old Princess Consort of Prince Qi Residence Chapter 843: Chapter 843 The Old Princess Consort of Prince Qi Residence Lingling had always been working at the Wang Residence and seen various exquisite foods, yet she had never seen something as delicately made from such simple ingredients as Su Yunjin’s creations.

This was the first time Lingling had seen such a thing.

Especially, the mixed-grain noodles Su Yunjin made – Lingling had only ever seen white noodles before, and had never seen ones with color like these.

Lingling looked on with a face full of astonished curiosity, her innocence befitting her age showing through. Su Yunjin smiled but didn’t explain too much to Lingling, understanding that being too showy could bring trouble upon herself.

Moreover, the skills she possessed were learned in the modern world, which weren’t easy to explain. If someone were to inquire deeply, she wouldn’t be able to reveal their origin.

Lingling gazed at the foods Su Yunjin made.

She thought to herself that the old princess consort would definitely have an appetite after seeing them; as the head maid serving the Princess Consort of Rui, Lingling was accustomed to fine foods.

Ordinary fare no longer intrigued Lingling, but the several small dishes and the bowl of mixed-grain noodles made by Su Yunjin greatly tempted her.

She especially wanted to taste them.

Of course, these were for the old princess consort, and while Lingling longed to try them, she dared not actually consume what belonged to her superior. She busied herself with delivering the food to the old princess consort.

Su Yunjin waited in the kitchen.

Soon, the Princess Consort of Rui sent someone to convey a message to Su Yunjin – saying that the old princess consort was quite satisfied with the mixed-grain noodles and various small dishes she had eaten.

The old princess consort, who had long lost her appetite and struggled to eat, unusually consumed a large portion of the food sent by Su Yunjin. Hearing that the princess consort had a good appetite after eating her dishes, Yunjin too was pleased.

Since the old princess consort’s appetite had returned, it was time for her to leave and return. Having delayed so long, Gu Ya must be worried about her by now?

Unbeknownst to herself, Su Yunjin hadn’t realized that she now thought of Gu Ya in everything she did. Upon eating Su Yunjin’s offerings, the old princess consort’s appetite increased greatly.

It had been a long time since she had enjoyed her food so heartily.

Her mood improved greatly.

Consequently, the old princess consort expressed a desire to meet Su Yunjin.

Lingling led Su Yunjin to the quarters of the old princess consort, expecting to see a residence as luxurious as the one where the Princess Consort of Rui lived.

To her surprise, the main quarters where the old princess consort lived were modestly elegant with none of the luxurious objects, just as Su Yunjin had seen on her last visit.

Quite simple indeed.

The old princess consort was speaking with the Princess Consort of Rui in the main quarters when Lingling brought Su Yunjin in, “Madam Su, the princess consort and the old princess consort are inside; please follow me.”

“Great ancestress, Madam Su has arrived.” Upon seeing Su Yunjin,

the Princess Consort of Rui immediately stood up and approached Su Yunjin, “Madam Su, thanks to you, our great ancestress finally had a full meal today.”

The old princess consort had found her appetite.

The Princess Consort of Rui’s tone of voice was filled with joy.

Su Yunjin bowed as was customary.

“Your Highness is too kind; it is my fortune that I could aid the old princess consort in regaining her appetite.”

Su Yunjin observed the old princess consort, noting the dignified elderly lady with grey hair, whose aged face still bore traces of her past beauty.

There are some who retain a charismatic presence even in old age, and to Su Yunjin, the old princess consort was one such woman. When the old princess consort saw Su Yunjin looking at her,

Su Yunjin’s gaze held a pure appreciation.

Neither servile nor overbearing.

After years of seeing only subservient servants and flattery, the old princess consort seldom encountered anyone bold enough to look at her the way Su Yunjin did.

Somehow, the old princess consort felt an increased fondness for Su Yunjin.

“So, you are the Madam Su mentioned by the Princess Consort of Rui?”
