After having sex with a fake eunuch, I became the queen

Ji Mingyue could tell that Wang Zhifei was drunk, and thought that he must have drunk a lot of wine at the old lady's, his grandmother's, birthday party, and somehow he used the kitchen floor as his bed. And from what he just said, he must have mistaken her for someone else... The girl Yun he mentioned seemed to have come to the kitchen to eat secretly and was caught by him.

"Hey! Why are you still hiding? What's there to be embarrassed about? It's normal to want to find food when you're hungry! I won't laugh at you!" Wang Zhifei saw that the girl who stole food didn't reply, but hid in the corner like a frightened kitten without saying a word and refused to show up, so he changed his tone to comfort her, "But you are too brave, aren't you? My father gave the order today, and you still dare to run here? What if someone sees you and tells your aunt about it? You will be in big trouble, right?"

Ji Mingyue thought that what he was referring to was the order issued by the ministers not to leave anyone in the kitchen... But how could this person have the nerve to say that to others? Didn't he also violate the order and run here? Otherwise, he wouldn't have caught her stealing the hot and sour sauce.

"I'm not afraid. If my father finds out, I'll be punished with a ruler at most. Even if I'm beaten with a stick, I'm not afraid because I'm tough." Seeing that the other party still didn't respond, Wang Zhifei continued to speak to himself.

No matter how Ji Mingyue listened, she felt that the words of this young master Wang had a bit of the meaning of "only the governor is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps" - because he is the young master of the noble family, he can boldly disobey his father's orders, but this girl Yun will have to bear the consequences. I don't know what the identity of this girl Yun is? Why did she come to the kitchen to eat secretly, and more than once? Hearing him mention his aunt, could it be a child of a relative?
"Yun girl, aren't you going to come out of that hole today? Are you going to live in it like the mouse?" Wang Zhifei joked to the cat in the hole.

Although Ji Mingyue could tell that he was joking, she was still very scared and shrank back into the crack as hard as she could, fearing that the man would come over and dig out the "rat hole" the next second.

"Well, if you don't want to come out, then just stay inside!" Wang Zhifei glanced at the "hole" from a distance and found that the corner of the skirt that was originally exposed outside the "hole" was no longer visible, which meant that the person in the "hole" was shrinking even more. So he stopped "forcing" her and said, "If Auntie doesn't allow you to eat again in the future, go and tell my mother. Auntie dare not disobey my mother's words."

Although he still didn't hear any response from the other party, as a chatterbox who was drunk, he couldn't stop talking. "Alas! Every family has its own problems. My father is also an old-fashioned person. He just doesn't let me practice cooking in the kitchen, and he doesn't allow the chef to teach me. He said that cooking is not something that people of noble status should do. Does it mean that people who only eat and don't cook are noble? What kind of logic is this!"

Ji Mingyue naturally didn't dare to answer, but after listening to Wang Zhifei's sighing complaints, she felt very curious - this young master from a noble family actually had a hobby of cooking! Most of the children of aristocratic families have been provided with food and clothing since they were young, and they don't know how to distinguish between oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and grains. It's rare that he can cook by himself!

"Today, I sneaked over here to practice my skills while no one was in the kitchen. I didn't expect to run into you again. It seems like we are destined to be together! How about I make something delicious for you like I did last time? It's a good opportunity for me to practice my skills and you to satisfy your craving? How do you think?"

When Ji Mingyue heard him say this, she immediately understood: the opportunity she had carefully planned to create was actually coveted by this person!

Then, he said "hmm" faster than his brain could think. As soon as he finished saying "hmm", he regretted it. What if Wang Zhifei heard that it was not Yun, wouldn't it be self-incrimination? Who gave him the courage? Probably the greed in his mouth!
“You didn’t taste the Yunchuan spicy and sour chicken at today’s birthday banquet. It tasted very authentic. Yun, don’t you like spicy and sour food very much? Here happens to be a pot of soaked rice cakes. How about I fry you some Yunchuan spicy and sour rice cakes!” Wang Zhifei didn’t seem to hear anything unusual. Perhaps because he saw that the other party was very frugal with words, he was too lazy to waste time asking for opinions and directly helped to decide on the menu on his own initiative.

When Ji Mingyue heard him mention the Yunchuan flavor, her saliva almost flowed out. Since her previous response did not reveal her mistake, she boldly said "hmm" again, and this time she calmly raised her voice a few degrees.

After waiting in the "cave" for a while, she suddenly heard the sound of a knife cutting a chopping board outside... It was the sound of cutting rice cakes... So she boldly stuck half of her head out and looked in the direction of Wang Zhifei - she saw him standing in front of the small stove next to where he had just been lying, busying himself. Although it was only his back, she could see that this "cook" was busy but not chaotic, his movements were orderly, and he was really not just showing off his skills, but showing some skill, it seems that he must have practiced a lot before.

"When frying rice cakes, the most important things are the heat and the seasoning of the sauce. Only in this way can they be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and taste sour and spicy." Wang Zhifei muttered to himself while working, as if he was reciting some cooking formula. It was unknown whether he learned it from the chef or saw it in a recipe.

Ji Mingyue closely watched his every move, afraid of missing something. Of course, what she was most concerned about was where this "cook" would get the Yunchuan sauce... After all, she had searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so she could take a good chance to take a peek. "The sour and spicy taste of Yunchuan sauce is very unique. It must be delicious to use it to stir-fry rice cakes!" Wang Zhifei said as he took out a small jar from his body, pulled out the cap on the jar, and began to pour the contents into the pot.

After the contents were heated, a strong sour and spicy aroma filled the air. Ji Mingyue could smell it from a long distance away. It was undoubtedly Yunchuan hot and sour sauce!

It turned out that Wang Zhifei had hidden a can of Yunchuan sauce in his arms! This made Ji Mingyue a little amused: Could it be that he was here to steal the sauce as well? No wonder she hadn't found it after searching for so long!

Then, she began to think about what to do next. If he asked her out to eat fried rice cakes, she would definitely be exposed in front of him. Thinking hard, she came up with a plan: This young master Wang came here to do something that cannot be revealed, so she should just negotiate with him and keep the secret from each other, otherwise it would be a fight to the death. And it would be best if she could get the can of Yunchuan sauce during the negotiation.

"Yun girl, the hot and sour rice cake is ready. I tried a piece and it tastes pretty good! It's on the stove. Come over and eat it later. I won't keep you company. I'll go back first. When you're done, leave quickly. Don't let anyone see you." After Wang Zhifei finished speaking, he walked to the main entrance of the kitchen and prepared to leave. Just as he opened the door, he suddenly seemed to think of something, so he turned around and continued to say to where Ji Mingyue was hiding: "There is also a can of Yunchuan sauce next to the fried rice cake. If you want a stronger taste, add a little more. The sauce is made with authentic Yunchuan peppercorns. It tastes very good and can be used as a sauce for rice. If you like it, you can take it away. If the cook asks, I'll say I took it."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out of the kitchen.

Wang Zhifei left first, which was somewhat unexpected for Ji Mingyue... Also, how could a little girl who had been hiding and not daring to show up have the nerve to eat in front of a grown man? This young master Wang was a thoughtful person, leaving this little girl Yun a chance to enjoy her meal alone, and he was quite generous, leaving her the delicious Yunchuan sauce. The countermeasure that Ji Mingyue had been thinking about for a long time was completely useless.

Before eating the rice cake, Ji Mingyue first silently thanked the poor girl Yun who often came to the kitchen to steal food. Then, she ate the plate of hot and sour rice cake for her without any hesitation.

Sure enough, with the addition of authentic Yunchuan sauce, Wang Zhifei's fried rice cake was very sour and spicy and delicious, it was the childhood taste that Ji Mingyue had been thinking about for a long time. Moreover, the chef also had a good grasp of the heat, making it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

After eating the fried rice cakes, she hid the Yunchuan sauce in her sleeve pocket and went home contentedly... This time, she not only got the Yunchuan sauce as she wished, but also unexpectedly got a bowl of spicy and sour rice cakes.

Later, she never mentioned this shameful and funny thing in her youthful memory to anyone... A bottle of Yunchuan sauce was missing from the kitchen of the noble mansion, and the cook thought that it was taken by Young Master Wang. The hot and sour rice cake made by Wang Zhifei was eaten up by her, and the people who were frying rice cake thought that it was eaten by Girl Yun... Although she was the biggest beneficiary, after all, whether it was stealing hot and sour sauce from the kitchen or pretending to be someone else to eat rice cake, it was not something that could be laughed at outside. She just couldn't help but chuckle in her heart when she occasionally thought of it.

At that time, Ji Mingyue naturally would not have thought that one day more than 20 years later, when she saw the back of the man working in front of the stove again, an interesting thing that had been sealed in her memory for many years would emerge in her mind bit by bit. It turned out that she and he had such a past.

"Hongyu, you mean you know everything about Wang Zhifei's family affairs? How did you know that?" Ji Mingyue looked at Hongyu in surprise. She had just asked "casually"... In fact, it was not really "casual", she was just pretending to be careless. She didn't expect Hongyu to know anything, but she didn't expect that she asked the right person!

"Your Highness, this General Wang is not only the number one figure on the list of heroes of the Restoration, but is also nicknamed the 'Emperor Retired'. He is also one of the most popular bachelors in the capital, and is as popular as a hot commodity. It is said that those who want to match him with a woman or help him remarry are almost knocking down the door of the general's mansion. His background has long been known to everyone in the capital."
