After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 424 Subtly Claiming Credit

Lin Yi almost didn't react.

Although he left the palace every day and often inquired about the movements in various parts of the mansion, he never really paid attention to whether all the people in the mansion's main kitchen were present.

He had eaten lunch at the mansion before, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

I didn't think much of it and didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that Jinse had suddenly brought this up, he was a little confused.

After a long pause, he asked, "Could it be that the manager of Penglai Pavilion didn't bring anyone to help you choose last time? Or did you not find anyone you liked?"

"There weren't any suitable ones at the time..."

Jinse replied, then realized what Lin Yi meant: "So, are all the people who prepare meals for His Highness found outside the palace? Why not pick a couple from the palace kitchen? Or find them directly from the Imperial Household Department?"

Jinse felt that the people in the palace kitchen must have been better at cooking.

Even if the palace kitchen doesn't have a suitable person for the time being, it's good to look in the Imperial Household Department. The Imperial Household Department manages these personnel on a daily basis, and they must have well-trained palace servants under their command.

Lin Yi decisively said, "Miss, just find two more from Penglai Pavilion. Our household doesn't need so many palace servants anymore."

Even a kitchen worker, let alone a kitchen apprentice, could hardly know which part of the inner palace they belonged to.

The same applies to the Imperial Household Department.

Lin Yi felt it would be better to use all the people in the main kitchen of the mansion from outside the palace, to avoid any unexpected problems.

Jinse hadn't thought of that for a moment, and only heard Lin Yi say that so many palace servants weren't needed, so she misunderstood.

But she didn't object.

Although she knew she couldn't ask Chef Liao from the main kitchen to leave the palace, she wasn't too disappointed.

Nodding in agreement, she replied, "I understand. I'll make the arrangements in the next couple of days." Lin Yi also nodded with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking that since Jinse had brought this up, he should make the arrangements later. After all, it's better to have people with clean backgrounds in the main kitchen of this mansion.

Thanks to Lin Yi's secret arrangements, Jinse was able to equip the main kitchen with staff in just two days.

On that very day, we even got to eat two of the new head chef's signature dishes.

After eating, Jinse nodded secretly. As expected, the chef was truly skilled; the food was many times better than what the kitchen assistant had made before.

Jinse breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on her understanding of the Twelfth Prince over the past few years, the two new chefs in the main kitchen are quite good at cooking to suit the Twelfth Prince's tastes, so he should be satisfied.

The twelfth prince was naturally satisfied; how could he not be?

Lin Yi had no idea what Jinse was thinking, otherwise he would have been secretly pleased with himself.

You should know that he was very clear about his master's preferences, and he had made special arrangements that day. Therefore, the person sent by Penglai Pavilion to the Twelfth Prince's residence would only be someone with a clean background and whose skills suited the Twelfth Prince's taste.

There will definitely be no other situation.

All of this is thanks to him.

Naturally, Lin Yi wouldn't tell Jinse about these things.

But since he had put in the effort, Lin Yi was determined to show off in front of the Twelfth Prince.

Although he won't show it in a particularly obvious way, he will still say it in a subtle way.

The twelfth prince was naturally satisfied with Lin Yi's arrangement.

Seeing the other person looking at him with an expression that seemed to say, "Master, please praise me!"

The twelfth prince said with a look of satisfaction, "I have observed that you have been running around inside and outside the palace these past few days and have done a very good job. Therefore, I am rewarding you with the jade thumb ring that I received a few days ago!"
