"Chun Xi, once it's roasted, send some to King Yu,"
Shen Chuwei thought for a moment and then added, "Also send some to the Concubine Xu, Tao Chenghui; Xiyun Pavilion too—let them try something new. And don't forget Eunuch Liu."
Chun Xi looked up at Shen Chuwei and noticed that the young mistress was quite generous today. The whole roasted lamb was sizable, yet with some sent here and some sent there, not much would remain.
If Missy was happy to share, it wasn't her place as a maidservant to say much else.
Shen Chuwei stared at the whole roasted lamb turning to a golden brown in Chun Xi's hands, unable to tear her gaze away. She licked her lips, urging, "Chun Xi, it's already cooked; we can eat now."
"Missy, the roasted lamb isn't going anywhere. Please wait a little longer, let it cool for a bit," Chun Xi replied, raising her head only to see Your Highness standing not far off. She blurted out in surprise, "Your Highness."
