Chapter 56: The Princess Who Doesn't Serve Well
As the political, economic, cultural, and military center of the Longhua Empire, the status of the Imperial Capital Star in the entire empire is absolutely transcendent. As the center of the imperial capital, the Imperial Palace is even more magnificent, located on the entire Longxing Mountains, towering, not only resplendent and solemn, but also the unique historical precipitation and majestic domineering of the Wannian Dynasty.
The entire Imperial Palace is divided into twelve parts, and minor princes and princesses generally reside in the Qianyuan Palace. And the most special position in the Hidden Abyss Palace is the Tianfeng Pavilion.
The original name of Tianfeng Pavilion was Wei Yanxuan, and its previous owner was the sister of the previous emperor, that is, the aunt of the current emperor Li Zhengxing, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Li Aowei. Princess Li Aowei has been gifted since she was a child, and at the age of seventeen, she advanced to the sixth-order Phantom Knight.
Two hundred years ago, the Zerg invaded, and the war stretched across the country, and at this time, a dream demon lord in 'Hell' took the opportunity to sneak attack the Imperial Capital Star. At that time, the situation could be described as precarious, and there were no troops to be deployed near the entire Imperial Capital Star, and seeing that the Imperial Capital was in crisis, Princess Li Aowei stepped forward and led three thousand royal children to put on armor and go into battle, carrying the Dream Demon army for three days and three nights, buying precious time for the army to rescue.
The battle was extremely tragic, and this group of idle children in peacetime, under the leadership of Princess Li Aowei, showed the integrity of the royal family under the leadership of Princess Li Aowei, and they did not retreat from the battle, and the three thousand royal children finally lost seven or eight. After the war, Princess Li Aowei was canonized as Princess Tianfeng for her military exploits, and the Wei Xuan where she lived was also renamed Tianfeng Pavilion.
But it's a pity that the battle left Li Aowei with an incurable dark wound on his body, and he died at the age of twenty-six.
In recognition of her merits, the royal family set up a statue of her at Valhalla, the imperial capital. And since then, no princess has ever lived in Tianfeng Pavilion, because there is no princess worthy of 'Tianfeng Pavilion'.
However, after a lapse of two hundred years, with the opening of the middle door of the Imperial Palace and the celebration of the royal family, Tianfeng Pavilion ushered in a new owner - Li Mengyao, the princess of Allure.
Now all the people in the Imperial Palace know that Li Mengyao is the most valued princess by the royal family, and it can be seen from the first day she entered the palace that she stayed in Tianfeng Pavilion, not to mention the attitude of the emperor and the empress towards her. The emperor himself may only come once for three or two days because he is busy, but the queen must come once a day, sometimes even three or four times, and stay for half a day, which is better than her own child. Other important members of the royal family also often come to visit the door, and from time to time they bring some delicious food and fun, which is simply like offering to aunts and grandmothers.
It stands to reason that with such a strong master, the guards and maids in the Tianfeng Pavilion should feel very lucky. After all, the higher the status of Princess Li Mengyao, the higher the status of her entourage. Isn't there an old saying that the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, as the attendant of Princess Li Mengyao, few people in the palace dare to mess with him.
However, in fact, the situation is not as good as imagined, this aunt is not so easy to serve, or it is simply very difficult to serve. This is not to say that Li Mengyao has a bad temper, on the contrary, this princess treats people kindly, and if she has a good temper, she doesn't have the slightest princess at all. But there is only one point, this aunt and grandmother shout every day to see her eldest sister and second brother, and if she can't see her, she won't eat, and then she will cry silently in the yard alone. This is embarrassing for those of them who are entourage, and they have to do everything they can to make this aunt happy every day, and serve them in different ways.
The emperor had also secretly passed down his will, and whoever could make her forget her sister and brother would definitely be a great achievement. But it's a pity that no one can do it yet, as long as it's time to eat, it must be a trouble.
No, it started again today.
"Princess, it's time to eat. Today, the chef made your favorite roast suckling pig, which is an exclusive secret recipe that has been passed down for more than 1,000 years, and it is delicious. Li Mengyao's first close maid, Lan Ruxuan, led two maids to come over with a plate of extremely sophisticated roast suckling pig. The aroma wafting all the way is tempting, as if the smell has penetrated into the stomach and turned into a small hand tickling you, and I don't know how many people are secretly salivating along the way.
Yesterday, Her Royal Highness the princess was making a fuss about not eating much, and the queen was furious when she heard this, and ordered that if the princess didn't eat today, she would break the legs of all the attendants in their Tianfeng Pavilion.
But this princess is getting harder and harder day by day, and yesterday she scolded Zhao Dahai of the Northern Army who came to visit. Zhao Dahai didn't even dare to squeak, and he didn't even dare to pick up the conversation.
There was really no way, Lan Ruxuan could only come up with a killer idea, and asked the chef to work overtime to make the princess's favorite roast suckling pig, hoping that the princess could enjoy her face and eat two more bites so that they could communicate with the queen.
Don't underestimate this roast suckling pig, its production is strictly responsible beyond imagination. In order to ensure the best taste, all the ingredients are sent from the place of origin on the same day, spanning three star fields and involving more than 200 planets, and the transportation cost alone is a huge amount.
It can be said that His Majesty the Emperor wants to eat such a luxurious roast suckling pig and has to think about it. But Duke Li Mengyao wants to eat, there is absolutely no problem, and the entire royal group will fully cooperate. Because the princess once said that her favorite food is roast suckling pig.
As long as the princess is willing to eat, everything is not a problem.
Yang Xiaoyao was in a very bad mood, holding a little milk cat all day long, and her face was full of unhappiness, but she couldn't help twitching her nose when she saw the roast suckling pig. I remember when I was a child, I had a winter festival, when I passed by a shop, I saw the signature roast suckling pig in the window, and she suddenly couldn't walk, and her little eyes were pitiful, and she really wanted to go up and take a bite. But at that time, they were too poor, and they were hungry and full, and the roast suckling pig that cost more than 3,000 yuan at that time was unbelievable for them.
It was snowing like goose feathers that day, and the three siblings stood outside the window hugging each other to keep warm. The eldest sister and the second brother took turns to tell her how delicious the roast suckling pig was, and the bite was full of fragrant, and the tender meat juice was reluctant to swallow it when it swirled on the tongue, as if it was really eaten at that time.
Yang Xiaoyao has always remembered this scene vividly, so when Lan Ruxuan once asked her what she liked to eat the most, she didn't even think about it and just said roast suckling pig. It was the number one thing she could remember.
Seeing that Yang Xiaoyao took the initiative to pick up a piece of fragrant and tender crispy skin, Lan Ruxuan smiled with relief, and finally did not waste a lot of effort. However, she seemed to be happy a little too early, and after eating this bite of roast suckling pig, she only chewed two bites, and saw Yang Xiaoyao suddenly throw her chopsticks and cry loudly.
What is the situation? Lan Ruxuan and the attendants in the room were all dumbfounded, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Your Highness, what's the matter, isn't it delicious?" Lan Ruxuan hurriedly stepped forward and coaxed.
"They lied to me...... It's not the taste they say it tastes like at all,...... They didn't eat it at all...... They lied to me!" Yang Xiaoyao's eyes were red and she choked up. She knew that it was impossible for the eldest sister and second brother to have eaten roast suckling pig, and she had long known that they were lying to her. But as she ate that bite of the roast suckling pig, the indescribable aroma hit her taste buds, she remembered that cold winter, which was not at all the taste she remembered.
"This ...... If Your Highness doesn't like to eat, I'll let the Imperial Dining Room make some other delicious food. Lan Ruxuan had a headache. She knew who Yang Xiaoyao was talking about, but she didn't dare to take it, so she could only continue to pretend to be stupid as usual.
