If she had gone late, not only would she have had no choice, but there wouldn't have been enough food either.
Nanny Yu was very capable. 'I'll give her a ninety on this first test,' Song Yunzhao thought. 'A perfect hundred might make her arrogant.'
In the outer hall, Yulu was setting out the evening meal. When Song Yunzhao walked out, she saw four dishes and a soup laid out on the table: Velveted Chicken Slices, Duck Stew with Bird's Nest, Crispy Sautéed Fish Fillets, a Ruyi Vegetable Medley, and a Ham and Bamboo Shoot Soup.
The fish was crispy and fragrant on the outside, yet tender and savory within. The bird's nest and duck complemented each other perfectly. The Ruyi Medley was a stir-fry of mixed seasonal vegetables, delightfully crisp and tasty. The culinary skill of the Imperial Kitchen was truly impressive; Song Yunzhao ate with great satisfaction.
Nanny Yu only hurried back after the meal was finished.
