After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 441 Worried?

Now that the officials from the Ministry of Rites have arrived, it's clear that the mansion will need to hold another banquet at noon.

After all, they've come to give us gifts, so how can we not host a banquet to entertain them?
Moreover, now that the Ministry of Rites has arrived, other officials will likely follow, so there will definitely be a lot of people. Jinse thought about it and decided that she should go to the main kitchen herself to put her mind at ease.

Upon seeing this, Jinse realized that the things the steward of the Imperial Household Department had just sent were incredibly timely.

These are all things that we can use right now, and things that we can't easily produce at home anytime soon.

The people in the main kitchen were worried when they heard that a banquet was to be prepared.

Upon seeing the things Jinse had ordered to be carried over, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

When the chef saw Jinse, he smiled slightly: "Manager Jin, are all these things available for today?"

Jinse nodded: "Yes, we'll use the things that the Imperial Household Department just sent. If we need anything, we'll send someone to procure it immediately. There should be quite a few officials coming to the banquet today."

There probably won't be many more, since the twelfth prince is not yet an adult. But since officials from the Ministry of Rites have come, officials from other departments will definitely come as well.

Upon hearing this, the chef's smile vanished instantly.

He glanced at the other head chef and the seven or eight women helping him in the kitchen, and felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He hesitated and said, "Manager Jin, it's not that I'm making excuses, but the time allotted for the lunch banquet is too tight, and the kitchen staff is probably too small to handle it all."

Jinse had also thought of this: "I know. Before I came, I already gave instructions. The people who will help will be here soon."

As she spoke, she looked at the head chef and said, "Today is His Highness's first day in the mansion. In any case, the midday banquet must not go wrong. Head Chef Wu, please work hard. I will inform His Highness later, and the entire kitchen will receive a reward."

Since I work for the government, I can't afford to mess things up or bring shame to the government in situations like this. Doing my job well is my duty.

But when Jinse said there would be a reward for doing a good job, everyone in the kitchen was very happy.

They all seemed to have instantly gained energy and spirit.

Chef Wu, no longer looking worried, patted his chest and assured Jinse, "Manager Jin, what are you saying? At a time like this, we will definitely do our best and make sure the guests don't laugh at our mansion. You can rest assured!"

Jinse smiled and nodded.

Accompanied by Chef Wu, she looked around and waited for Lin Fu to bring over the helpers. She carefully explained everything to them and watched as everyone in the kitchen got to work in an orderly manner before she finally left with a slight sense of relief.

After arranging things in the main kitchen, Jinse went to look around elsewhere. When she returned to the main hall, she received news that not only had officials from various departments arrived, but the residences of the Left and Right Prime Ministers had also sent gifts.

In addition, Cining Palace, Fengzhao Palace, and the principal consorts of the harem all sent people to deliver gifts to their residences.

The gifts quickly filled both side halls.

Before Jinse could even check, the twelfth prince sent people to find her.

Jinse had no choice but to go find the Twelfth Prince first.

Right now, the twelfth prince is sitting in the main hall drinking tea again, and the eldest prince is still there as usual.

Jinse glanced subconsciously towards the living room, feeling a little uneasy.

The twelfth prince immediately knew what Jinse was thinking: "Sister Jinse, don't worry. Lin Yi and his men are guarding the living room. They said they came to congratulate me, but I think they'll be more comfortable sitting there without me."
