Chapter 457 Poor

As Jinse spoke, she turned and glanced at Lin Fu.

Lin Fu instantly understood Jinse's meaning and quickly replied, "Your Highness, the steward of the Prince Yi's residence is still waiting in the small living room!"

The twelfth prince did not want to meet the steward of the Prince Yi's residence, but... he also did not want Jinse to go.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "Understood, please ask him to come over and talk to me!"

Lin Fu agreed and went to fetch someone.

Turning his head, the twelfth prince found another excuse to send Jinse away: "Sister Jinse, could you go to the main kitchen and see if there's any ice jelly to eat today? I've been outside for half the morning, and now I feel hot, thirsty, and a little hungry!"

Jinse originally wanted to stay and take a look.

For some reason, she subconsciously didn't want the twelfth prince to have much contact with Prince Yi and the people in Prince Yi's mansion.

Even if the person who comes to the mansion is just the steward of Prince Yi's mansion.

But after hearing what the twelfth prince said, she felt a little reluctant.

Seeing the pitiful look on the twelfth prince's face, she really didn't know how to refuse him.

In the end, Jinse couldn't resist and agreed: "This servant will go to the main kitchen to check. I remember that the Imperial Household Department sent in four or five large watermelons today. We can cut them up and put them in the ice jelly for Your Highness. It should taste delicious."

The twelfth prince looked at Jinse with anticipation, as if he were very hungry for her.

Jinse quickened her pace after being looked at like that.

They just happened to avoid meeting the steward of the Prince Yi's mansion, who had been brought there by Lin Fu.

The main kitchen didn't make any special ice jelly today, but when they heard that the twelfth prince wanted to eat it, they had to make it urgently.

However, making ice jelly also takes some time.

Jinse was worried that the twelfth prince would be anxious, so she stayed in the main kitchen and helped out from time to time.

Having finished making it in a hurry, Jinse grabbed the prepared ice jelly, along with the sugar syrup and various diced fruits, and rushed off to find the Twelfth Prince. By the time she found him, he had already returned to his study.

As for the steward of the Prince Yi's residence, he had long since disappeared.

They must have already left.

Jinse didn't see anyone, but she wasn't particularly concerned.

Jinse placed the food box on a small table to the side, took out the ice jelly and toppings, mixed a bowl for the Twelfth Prince according to his usual taste, and added more watermelon chunks before serving it to him.

"Your Highness, the ice jelly is ready. I added a lot of watermelon for you. Why don't you eat it before you get back to work?"

The twelfth prince looked at the bowl full of ingredients for the ice jelly, took it with satisfaction, and scooped up a full spoonful of ice jelly coated with sugar syrup and stuffed it into his mouth.

There were no ice cubes in the bowl, but the ice jelly was soaked in ice water after it was made, and fruits and vegetables were also soaked in well water.

When she brought it over, Jinse had also placed a layer of ice at the bottom of the food box.

Therefore, both the ice jelly and the fruit toppings have a cool feel to them.

It's icy cold, but not too cold to bite into. Plus, Jinse doesn't add much sugar syrup, giving it a slightly cool and refreshing sweetness. Combined with the crunchy nuts, it's very palatable.

The twelfth prince ate with great pleasure.

She scooped up another spoonful of diced watermelon, peaches, and other fruits, and ate with a satisfied expression.

After taking a couple of bites, seeing that Jinse was still just standing to the side, she hurriedly called out to her, "Sister Jinse, quickly make yourself a bowl too. I feel that the ice jelly is especially delicious today. Why don't you try it and see?"

Doesn't the ice jelly still taste the same?

The twelfth prince found it particularly delicious, perhaps because he had been too hot and thirsty earlier.

Jinse thought this to herself, but didn't say much, and just mixed herself a bowl as well.

The kitchen just made a lot of ice jelly, and it's not good to keep too much, so there won't be a shortage of ice jelly today.
