In the summer, the kitchen was quite hot, and the cooks in the Duke Mansion were curious to see Qiao Jinniang coming in.
But they knew that she was the most favored miss in the mansion, so they dared not say anything other than fawning on her.
It was almost evening, and people usually had no appetite on a summer night, so Qiao Jinniang planned to cook some appetizing food to cool off the heat.
After being busy for about half an hour, Qiao Jinniang followed the maids to bring out the dishes one by one.
Duke Anyuan ordered the servants to pack these dishes into a food box.
Qiao Jinniang asked, "You are not eating them, Father?"
Duke Anyuan said, "It was His Majesty who ordered you to cook. I'm going to the Imperial Palace to offer your dishes. Would you like to go together?"
Qiao Jinniang shook her head. She had been to the East Palace, and she felt suffocated there.
She was absolutely reluctant to go to the Imperial Palace.
