New Liansheng Kingdom Palace, Chuxiu Palace.

Noon and noon.

"Shh

In a small kitchen on the north side of Chuxiu Palace, there is a constant rhythmic sound of stir-frying, and bursts of tempting aromas waft out.

A palace maid with fine beads of sweat on her forehead is busy methodically by the stove, she is almost chopping vegetables, washing vegetables, while taking care of the chicken soup boiling in a soup pot, and pouring the cut vegetables into another wok, using a frying spoon to flick back and forth, and even using a small spoon from time to time to add different spices to the wok or soup pot.

And there is still a pot of porridge boiling on the other small stove, which also needs to be kept an eye on by the palace maid at all times, so as not to overflow or boil paste.

Although this should be something that only a few palace maids can be busy with, at this moment, it is all covered by this palace maid alone.

Not only did nothing go wrong, but it went well, and everything seemed to be under her control, with no signs of scrambling at all.

This person is none other than the personal palace maid Phantom Lotus of the show girl Yanyu.

In fact, for the past year, the meal at noon every day has been completed by Phantom Lian alone, so for Phantom Lian, she has completely adapted to it, even if she uses a stove to boil medicine at the same time, she can guarantee that there will be no mistakes.

The reason why I only cook one meal a day is because there are only two people in this palace, Yanyu and Phantom Lotus, plus the carbon fire and the limited number of ingredients in the kitchen, so only this meal is fired at noon every day, and in the morning, the leftover porridge from the previous day is usually boiled and warmed, and then a small snack is eaten.

It stands to reason that the master who lives in this Chuxiu Palace doesn't need to use the small kitchen to cook by himself.

They were all made by the imperial dining room and sent by a special person.

Because Chuxiu Palace has always been a palace dedicated to concubines, and even a queen mother lived here when she was young, so the imperial dining room has always taken special care of the master of this palace, and never dared to slack off.

However, now there is only a show girl with no grade living here, not only has the emperor never come, but more importantly, there are special palace guards here, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, which has turned this palace into a cold palace in disguise.

Therefore, in this palace compound where people are indifferent, only talk about interests, not feelings, only know how to add icing on the cake, and are unwilling to send charcoal in the snow, it is natural that no one will stammer or care about the master of this palace.

Fortunately, this palace has its own small kitchen, otherwise no matter how good Phantom Lian's cooking skills are, she will not be able to make Yanyu eat delicious meals.

Of course, if she just cooks by herself, Phantom Lotus doesn't feel hard and difficult, because Yanyu is not only the princess of the golden-crowned black-tailed frog kingdom that she admires in her heart, but also her life-saving benefactor, so it is reasonable that Phantom Lotus is willing to do anything for Yanyu without the slightest complaint.

But the problem is that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, because every time the eunuch who is responsible for delivering firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables, fish and meat must deduct at least half, it is not guaranteed to come every day, and even sometimes the vegetables that have been wilted or stinky meat are sent, so it is often very difficult for Phantom Lian, and every time she cooks, she saves as much as possible, so as not to eat the last meal and not the next meal.

If she was just herself, she would be easy to deal with, but if she let the princess in her mind not eat enough and eat badly, she would feel very guilty and blame herself.

At first, when Yanyu was unconscious, he couldn't eat anything, and he relied on drinking soup to sustain his life, although he was half deducted by the eunuch, the phantom lotus was enough to eat.

When Yanyu woke up, as her meal grew larger, when Phantom Lian cooked every day, the vegetables, fish and rice that could be used in the kitchen seemed to be much more stretched.

As a result, Phantom Lotus always eats close to the smoke and rain, and she herself is used to starving sometimes and often.

It's just that in order to avoid worrying about Yanyu, who has just recovered from a serious illness, and making her mood even lower, Phantom Lotus deliberately concealed these unpleasant things.

Although Phantom Lotus covered up her starvation well, she was discovered by the careful smoke and rain.

Under Yanyu's repeated questioning, Phantom Lotus had no choice but to tell the truth and told Yanyu everything about the eunuch's deduction of ingredients.

After learning the truth of all this, Yanyu was also very angry, and twisted his weak sick body, rushed to the door and shouted to see the emperor, but was blocked by the two palace guards at the door, and was insulted by these two guards, and fainted again in anger on the spot.

Because at that time, Yanyu had not recovered her memory, so she was still bent on begging the emperor for mercy and sending her out of the palace as a failed draft girl.

In this way, Phantom Lotus doesn't have to be hungry for serving her, a nameless and worthless show girl.

When she woke up again, she also understood that this was a cold palace that she couldn't get out of at all, no matter how noisy she was, the palace guards at the door would not let her see the emperor.

So in addition to being disheartened, she also clearly told Phantom Lotus that since she was trapped here, she would share the joys and sorrows, and in the future, she would starve and eat together, and she would never allow Phantom Lotus to starve herself behind her back.

Listening to the sincere words of Yanyu, who had just recovered from a serious illness and was still amnesiac, and the love for herself, also moved Phantom Lian to cry on the spot.

In her heart, she is also more determined, she will always follow the smoke and rain in this life and this life, never give up, and share life and death.

Since then, the two of them have survived each other in this seemingly gorgeous, but comparable to the cold palace of Chuxiu Palace.

In the tenth month, Yanyu finally gradually regained all his memories, and only then did he really understand his situation, and he also remembered the tragedy of the Taihe Palace.

Perhaps it was this return to normal memory that made Yanyu difficult to accept for a while, causing Yanyu to be depressed for another two months, becoming silent, not thinking about tea and dinner, always leaning against the window alone, or sitting in the yard staring at the sky and losing his mind, until today, a year later, Yanyu came out of the shadow in his heart and regained his strength.

also made an unprecedented effort to let Phantom Lotus cook more delicious food at noon, saying that they would celebrate well, and also wanted to compensate for the grievances they had suffered from being hungry and hungry in the past year, and also told Phantom Lotus not to save the vegetables and fish in the kitchen, even if they eat it all, don't worry.

Because Yanyu confidently told Phantom Lian that she was just a nameless show girl now, she would soon rise step by step through her own efforts!

Even if it starts from the lowest promise, and then goes to Chang Zai, talent, beauty, Ji, noble, noble, Jieyu, concubine, imperial concubine, until the queen mother!

also bluntly told Phantom Lotus that she had completely recovered all her memories and figured out what she really wanted in life.

From today on, she is no longer the cowardly show girl who only escapes and always wants to pray to the emperor to send her out of the palace as a failed draft girl.

will no longer let the little palace guards and any eunuch be able to shout at her, insult her wantonly, and make things difficult in every way!

But as a lotus born goddess, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and appears in front of the world in a dignified manner.

As for the open and secret battles in this harem, she is also fully mentally prepared, with the belief of never compromising and never giving up, and living well in this harem.

People who are good to her, the grace of dripping water, she will also spring to reciprocate!

But the person who makes things difficult for her, even the person who wants to kill her, even if the other party is the king, she will trample the other party under her feet!

Because she is not only the Lotus Born Heavenly Maiden, she is also the princess of the dignified Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom, and her words and deeds do not only represent herself, but the entire Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom!

After listening to Yan Yu's sonorous and powerful words, Phantom Lotus cried excitedly again.

Only this time I cried with joy! Instead of crying helplessly with sadness!

She understands that the high-spirited smoke and rain of the past have finally returned, and the day when the already declining Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom will rise again is not far off!

Although Yanyu's words, especially her idea of rising from a forgotten show girl to the final queen mother step by step, were too amazing and unrealistic, and even an absolutely foolish dream in the eyes of ordinary people, Phantom Lian was convinced and unconditionally fully supported.

Because she is the only one who knows Yanyu best, she also knows that Yanyu is not only talented, beautiful, kind-hearted, affectionate and righteous, but also resolute, resolute, resolute, and daring, almost as long as she believes in things, there is nothing she can't do.

With this long-lost excitement and the expectation of a better life in the future, Phantom Lotus did not hesitate to come to the small kitchen, and did her best to make an extremely hearty lunch for Yanyu, and then they feasted and celebrated, which was regarded as saying goodbye to the decadent life of the past and announcing that they had officially started a new life in the palace of the new lotus kingdom.

It's just that what Phantom Lian didn't know was that when she was busy in the small kitchen, Yanyu was not idle in the study, but was drafting a self-recommendation letter.

This self-recommendation letter was recommended by Yanyu to the current emperor.

Of course, she didn't recommend herself to be a noble person or even a concubine, and she didn't bother to pray for the so-called noble status like this, what she wanted was for the future emperor to willingly take the initiative to reward and be recognized by everyone, rather than dispensable charity.

Because she has her own principles and bottom line of life, she also has her unique pride and dignity.

In her letter of recommendation, she bluntly expressed her heart to the emperor, that is, she did not participate in the draft process because she was unconscious.

Now she has been living in Chuxiu Palace as a show girl, and she will inevitably be criticized and tongue-in-cheek.

Not only does it violate the royal law of a fair and just draft, but it also damages the majesty and dignity of the royal family.

Even though she is the status of the Lotus Born Heavenly Maiden, she can't take extra care of her, and she should be treated equally.

So she is willing to accept the most demanding show girl retrial in front of the world.

If she fails to pass, she is willing to be demoted to the Huanyi Palace maid, move out of Chuxiu Palace from now on, and spend her life in the Huanyi Bureau without complaints!

But if she passes, I hope that the emperor can remove the palace guards guarding Chuxiu Palace and restore her right to come and go freely, instead of the current treatment like a cold palace.

After writing this self-recommendation letter, Yanyu knew that if there was no trustworthy person who could help her personally hand over the self-recommendation letter to the emperor when Chuxiu Palace was forbidden to enter and exit, then her hard work would be in vain.

After a little thought, she came up with a perfect plan......
