Chapter 165 Mozhu
"Then didn't you tell this ugly bastard about my rules?" the man said with disgust.
"I've said that, but she decided to give it a try." Yu Sheng said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, the man's expression became more serious. He looked at Situ Yaorao and said, "I'm sorry, I can't go with you."
"Because I'm ugly?" Situ Yaorao asked back, feeling a bit embarrassed. The man was stunned when he heard it, then nodded blankly: "Ah, because you are ugly."
"If you come down the mountain with me, you can choose everyone in your kitchen. No one will even enter the kitchen without your permission. That way, you won't see those so-called ugly people. How about that?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and asked calmly. The man hesitated after hearing this.
"I have no opinion on what kind of person you like, because that is your own business. I want to invite you not because I want to challenge you, but because I want to find a good chef to attract more customers to my restaurant." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and covered her face as she spoke.
The man just looked at her expressionlessly.
"If this is not enough, as long as you are willing, just make a request." Situ Yaorao said.
The man was a little confused, and his eyes turned to Yu Sheng: "What is she doing?"
"She's begging you," Yu Sheng explained calmly. But she was also a little surprised that Situ Yaorao would suddenly act like this. Although Situ Yaorao usually had a good temper, she was still quite arrogant. How could she beg someone so humbly...?
"You can't give me what I want. So, stop saying these weird things." The man's voice was a little hoarse.
"As long as you need it, I can give it to you. As long as it exists in this world." Situ Yaorao said firmly.
"I want to marry a woman." The man said seriously.
"Oh?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.
"A woman I've loved for a long time," the man continued.
"Who is that woman?"
"She is the thirteenth princess of the current emperor. Her name is Wuyan. If you can let me see her again and let me be with her, I will agree to it." The man looked at Situ Yaorao and said solemnly.
Situ Yaorao was stunned when she heard this. Did she look like a matchmaker? Why did she have to act as a matchmaker when she just wanted to find a cook?
"You're going too far. Who in this world can do what Princess Wuyan did?" Yu Sheng frowned.
"I climbed this mountain for her that year and have never come down since then. If I can't do it, I won't agree to your request. As for how to do it, it's up to you." said the man.
"I understand. So while I help you, can you come down the mountain with us?" Situ Yaorao said.
"You agree? Do you know Princess Wuyan..." Yu Sheng couldn't believe it.
"I don't know who Princess Wuyan is, but if this can make him agree to go down the mountain, I want to give it a try. As for whether it will succeed or not, that's another matter. If you don't even try hard when doing something, what's the difference between it and not doing it?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and asked back.
The man fell silent after hearing this.
"You agree?" The man was slightly surprised.
"Yes. I agree." Situ Yaorao nodded.
"My name is Mozhu." Looking at Situ Yaorao, the man's tone became much better. "Although you are ugly, since you have agreed, I will follow you down the mountain. If... in the end you fail, I will return to the mountain. Is this feasible?"
"No problem." Situ Yaorao answered readily.
The man laughed when he heard this. It was a strange laugh.
Yu Sheng said something unpleasant to Situ Yaorao, then left.
When they went back down the mountain, it was already evening.
Lian'er had already prepared the food. When she saw Situ Yaorao bringing such a person over, she was a little surprised: "Miss, is this the wine waiter you brought back from somewhere?"
"No, no, no, this is the cook." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.
"Oh? Do chefs have to rely on appearances to make a living these days?" Yun Luo teased at the table. He then bit into his steamed bun.
"Yu Sheng said Mo Zhu's cooking skills are very good, Yun Luo, don't talk nonsense." After saying that, Situ Yaorao said to Mo Zhu, "Do you want to eat together?"
"No. Can I find a place to rest for a while?" the man said calmly.
"You can have any room upstairs that's unoccupied."
"Yeah." After saying that, the man went upstairs.
"What a strange person." Yun Luo muttered. Then nothing more happened.
Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao took a deep look at Yunlou and said helplessly, "We invited him here with great difficulty. We haven't confirmed that he will really stay yet."
"Oh? Do you have any other requests?"
"Well, he has a request. He wants me to help him meet Princess Wuyan and marry her." Situ Yaorao couldn't help frowning when she said this.
"Pfft...Princess Wuyan? Is there something wrong with his eyes?" Yun Luo couldn't help but sneer.
"His eyes are fine, his brain is sick," Yu Sheng said coldly. Then she pulled Situ Yaorao upstairs.
"Hey? What are you doing?" Situ Yaorao was dragged into the room by the man and asked in confusion.
"Why did you agree?" Yu Sheng frowned.
"Because he said he cooks delicious food."
"There are many people in this world who can cook delicious food. But Mo Zhu clearly didn't want to agree to your request. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a request."
"What do you mean?" Situ Yaorao asked in confusion.
"Do you know why he likes ugly women?"
"Isn't it natural?" Situ Yaorao said.
"Who is born like this?" Yu Sheng looked at Situ Yaorao with an expression that said you are crazy, which made Situ Yaorao dare not look at the man anymore.
"He's certainly not born that way. But... one thing is certain. He likes ugly things, and it has something to do with Princess Wuyan."
"So, Princess Wuyan is actually an ugly girl, and he just happened to fall in love with her?" Situ Yaorao asked with a smile.
Yu Sheng heard this and shook her head again. "How many ugly people are there in the royal family? Back then, Mo Zhu was the imperial chef. Because of his delicious cooking and handsome appearance, he was very popular. Even many princesses were attracted to him. Even though they knew there was a huge difference in their status, they still fell in love with him. Mo Zhu was such a popular man. However, Mo Zhu had a cold personality and rarely showed any affection towards women. Until that Mid-Autumn Festival, when Mo Zhu discovered Princess Wuyan near the cold palace.
Princess Wuyan was incredibly beautiful. Mo Zhu, accustomed to being alone, was immediately struck by her beauty. After chatting with the woman, he learned that her mother had been banished to the cold palace, apparently due to a frame-up. Without her mother's protection in the harem, she quickly became a princess in name only.
Sometimes love strikes unexpectedly. Mo Zhu fell in love with Princess Wuyan. For her sake, he began frequently visiting the imperial kitchen to meet her privately. The princess wasn't treated well, so he began making snacks for her and bringing them back. Over time, their relationship blossomed.
Meanwhile, Princess Wuyan's mother, with the help of some people, was able to clear her name. The emperor then remembered his concubine and his past misunderstandings. When a man shows affection for a woman, it often makes everyone jealous.
Because of the love for the house, Princess Wuyan's status also increased.
From then on, if Mo Zhu wanted to see Princess Wu Yan again, he had to wait until late at night, and then Princess Wu Yan could go outside to see him. But that was all.
Things like love can never withstand the test of time. The same is true between Princess Wuyan and Mozhu. However, despite this, Yusheng still loves Princess Wuyan and is even willing to do anything for her.
Princess Wuyan was already enjoying great favor at that time. What she wanted to do more was to destroy the appearance of Princess Lianqiao, who was also a princess like her. In this way, the emperor would love her more.
However, how could Princess Lianqiao be brought down so easily? Instead, Princess Lianqiao took advantage of this incident and sent the cakes to Princess Wuyan.
And it is in the name of Mozhu.
