Chapter 220 Everyone is busy
Only in one's own castle can one truly relax.
When Aduo learned that Jiang Yu had decided to open the castle courtyard in three days to hold a grand banquet to entertain everyone in the county, she patted her chest and said that she could entrust all the preparations to her.
"There are so many people in the whole county! Our castle courtyard alone won't be enough. We'll decorate all the lawns of the surrounding manors. The castle has no shortage of food right now, so we'll make sure everyone has a good meal!"
Adorable Ado patted her head, muttering, "Then we'll need lots of tables, and we'll have to gather all the chefs in the county who are willing to help." She then hurried off, muttering to herself as she went, "Oh, and we'll need plenty of flowers..."
"All the wine glasses need to be wiped clean too..."
Jiang Yu touched his nose somewhat guiltily, realizing he had really taken on a huge responsibility for A Duo.
She sat up from her soft, seashell-shaped bed, intending to check on how the servants were preparing the room for Moa.
Moya made a brief appearance and then went straight back to the seabed, saying he was going to stay there for two days, probably to eat treasures. How could dietary habits formed over thousands of years change so easily? Jiang Yu expressed his understanding.
The time allotted was just enough for the servants to prepare a beautiful and comfortable room for him.
Moya's room was arranged next to Lin Yi's room. The castle's rooms for the owners were designed long ago, especially the rooms for the five male owners, which were all identical in layout, emphasizing fairness and impartiality.
Jiang Yu went inside, where the servants were doing the final cleaning and arranging. When they saw her arrive, they all stopped and came down to greet her.
Jiang Yu raised her hand, indicating that they could continue working. She herself stood in the center of the room, carefully looking around, and was satisfied to see that the flowers had been arranged in vases and the aromatherapy balls were floating and rotating.
She also participated in the room design. Moya's room was designed with gray and purple as the main colors. The walls were painted light gray, while the furniture such as cabinets, sofas, and beds were mostly dark gray. The fabrics in the room, such as carpets, bedding, curtains, and drapes, were mostly dark purple.
The small decorative patterns on some lamps, vases, etc., or the carvings and embroidery on the corners of bedding, cushions, and wardrobes, used Moa's favorite gold.
The entire room looked just like Moya, noble and mysterious. Jiang Yu was very satisfied, then remembered something and called over the responsible servant, instructing him: "Remember to add some more decorations to the rooms of the divine envoy and the general, and replace a batch of furniture according to their preferences."
She moved in as husband and wife before she and Qingyin and Yi were even familiar with each other. At that time, she hardly participated in the decoration of their room. It was decorated according to her stereotypical impression of their background. Now that she thinks about it, it was a bit too basic and simple.
However, it's also possible to build it up gradually.
"Yes, lord," the servant replied respectfully.
After looking at Moya's room, Jiang Yu went downstairs to the kitchen to cook some soup and tonics. Qingyin was still not fully recovered, but she threw herself into territory affairs as soon as she got home, and there was no way to stop her.
She turned to the attendant beside her and said, "Have the tailor prepare the dress for the banquet in a couple of days, and also design several more clothes for Mr. Moya, from head to toe, inside and out. Have them produce the designs first, and then take his measurements when he returns."
"The completed design has been sent to my study. I need to go to the kitchen now, and I want to see it when I get back to my room."
As she spoke, she went downstairs. “I remember there were some large gold nuggets in the storeroom that we said we would use to carve gold statues. We went to the goldsmith to melt them down and grind them into the shape of small cookies.”
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Make them cute, with little decorations like fruit, flowers, or seashells on them. Then pack them all into clean boxes and send them to Mr. Moya's room."
She smiled helplessly, thinking of Moa's habit of munching on gold coins like cookies.
"By the way, where did the general go?" Lin Yi wouldn't be home for more than a few days before returning to the capital to report back, and then rushing back to the border legion in Teslo to take charge of the overall situation. This was also why she was in such a hurry to hold the banquet; she didn't want Lin Yi to be absent.
"My lord, the general should be in his room. I saw the lieutenant go into the general's room; he must be handling some military affairs."
"Understood. Don't forget to bring in tea and snacks whenever you need them," Jiang Yu instructed before heading into the kitchen to prepare a meal herself.
As a noblewoman, she didn't have many opportunities to cook. Firstly, she had professional chefs, so there was no need for her mediocre cooking skills to be of any use. Secondly, being served in a comfortable environment for too long amplifies one's laziness, and she had long since become gluttonous, lazy, and pleasure-seeking.
This time, she went into the kitchen because she wanted to try out the recipes for some unique desserts from the Aurora Empire Church that Fan Qingyu had given her. In addition, Qingyin had drunk an extra bowl of the soup she made last time, so she thought she would make it for him again.
Fan Qingyin sat expressionlessly at his desk, listening to his most trusted shadow servant report on the events that had occurred in the three great empires during his coma.
Before his sacrifice, he had a backup plan, sending his shadow servants away to lurk in the shadows and gather information.
It wasn't that he was confident he could wake up again; he was prepared to leave his shadow servant to Jiang Yu after his death, hoping that Jiang Yu would return safely and receive the latest news and updates.
"The royal family of the Ocean Empire, what right or standing do we have to demand justice? They've already given us compensation, haven't they?" Fan Qingyin tapped the table lightly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
“Since Xiaoyu has no intention of arguing, then I will let it go.” Fan Qingyin’s eyes darkened. “Why don’t you tell me more about that mysterious leader of Keslan?”
Shadow Servant lowered his eyes, suppressing the unease in his heart. The divine messenger was as perceptive as ever. Although he did not intend to hide it, he also did not explicitly say that the leader's feelings for Lord Jiangyu had already been subtly revealed.
Yet the divine messenger still managed to discern it from just a few words.
So he stopped hiding it and told everything he knew about the leader. He was obviously trying to find out, and he was careful not to alert the leader, but he still learned many secrets that no one else knew.
"So, even though I didn't bother with them, they still came knocking on my door?" The red-haired, red-eyed envoy merely smiled slightly, yet his presence sent chills down one's spine.
"A madman banished from royalty, running a fearsome dark organization, has also set his sights on my Xiaoyu?"
"Go and inquire about the Kong family of the Forest Empire for me."
