Fantasy: The beginning is dedicated to the empress as auspicious

[The empress is happy when she sees your empress song, favorability +5, current favorability: 56]

[Because I couldn't see the full picture of the poem, the empress hated you for breaking the update, favorability -1, current favorability: 55]

Two consecutive system message prompts awakened Lynch from his sleep.

"What the hell?"

Lynch was bleary-eyed, his heart moved, he quickly put on his clothes and ran out.

In the empty room, the unfinished paintings from last night were still on the easel, but Lynch clearly remembered closing the windows before going to bed.

But now, the windows are wide open.

"I'm afraid this empress was not a thief in her previous life."

Lynch muttered, walked to the easel, looked at his unfinished paintings, and looked at the system prompts, feeling depressed.

"Sure enough, with my own painting skills alone, I can't impress the Empress. In the end, I have to copy poems. Hey."

Although the favorability has increased again, Lynch is not very happy.

Copying poems was just incidental, and this painting is the work he really put his heart and soul into.

As a result, the empress didn't even give any feedback.

Just as she was depressed, the door was knocked open suddenly, and the little maid Xinghua walked in with an aggrieved expression on her face. When she saw Lin Qi, she couldn't help it anymore, tears streaming down her face.

"Xinghua, it's so early in the morning, why are you crying? Did you have a nightmare last night?"

Lynch asked.

"My lord, it's not good."

Xinghua yelled pitifully, and then cried even louder.

"Don't cry yet. Tell me, what happened? Did someone bully you?"

Lynch couldn't bear other people's crying the most, so he hurried to comfort him.

Xinghua sniffed, Lihua looked at Lin Qi with tears in her eyes, "No one bullies Xinghua, but, sir, we won't have breakfast from now on."

Lynch:? ? ?
After a while, I finally understood what was going on amid Xinghua's intermittent crying.

It turned out that early this morning, Xinghua went to the imperial dining room to wait for her and Lynch's breakfast.

By convention, there should be buns and soy milk in the morning.

Xinghua was still thinking about showing off to the little eunuch who knew her acquaintance today, and then asked Lynch for a boiled egg.

It turned out good.

After going there, Xinghua not only didn't get her eggs, but even her original buns and soy milk were gone.

"They said that according to the usual practice, there is no work or food in the cold palace, so they can't provide free breakfast to the nobles."

Xinghua looked anxious, "My lord, they did it on purpose, thinking that your lord will not be able to turn around in the future, so they made excuses to deduct money.

This is only the first day, and I'm afraid they will only go too far in the future. "

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal. Isn't it just that I don't have breakfast today? It's okay, I didn't plan to have breakfast in the first place."

Lynch laughed loudly and rubbed Xinghua's little head, "Okay, if you're hungry, didn't you have some leftovers from yesterday?

Once you warm it up, just eat it.

Little girl, don't be too picky. "

Lynch said, yawned, ignored Xinghua's hesitation, and turned back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.

"My lord."

Xinghua was in a hurry, thinking that Lynch didn't understand what she said, but she suddenly realized it.

Even if Lynch understands it, so what can he do, since he is at the bottom of the food chain in the cold palace?

"My lord, I won't let you go hungry."

Xinghua clenched her small fist, wiped away her tears, and said silently in her heart.

Lin Qi didn't know that the little maid had already realized something. He was really sleepy, so he took a good sleep. When he woke up, the sun was already high and he was so hungry.

"Almond blossom."

Lynch yelled, but got no response.

I had to fetch water by myself, wash up briefly, and then sit at the table, waiting for dinner.

"No. Xinghua seemed to say in the morning that the guy in the imperial dining room won't eat?"

Lynch frowned.

To be honest, he really didn't take it seriously at first.

The empress' favorability is so easy to brush, he is only five points away from reaching a trust relationship with the empress.

That's trust, not to mention being turned over by the empress, going to the empress's bed, and being the empress's man, but it's still easy to become the empress' confidant.

What's more, he still has the system in hand.

The mere problem of eating is nothing.

But now, he was hungry and there was no food in front of him, Lynch felt a sense of crisis.

"My lord, I'm sorry, I'm late. Are you hungry? Let's have a bun first."

Xinghua hurriedly opened the door and came in sweating profusely, holding a bamboo basket in one hand and a lunch box in the other.

Seeing Lynch sitting in a daze at the table, he quickly opened the lunch box and handed Lynch a meat bun.

"Where did it come from?"

Lynch asked.

"It's from the imperial dining room, nobleman, eat it quickly."

Xinghua urged, looking at the meat bun in Lynch's hand, subconsciously swallowed.

She lied.

The steamed stuffed bun was not sent by the imperial dining room, but she got it after washing clothes all morning.

"have you eaten?"

Lynch was not stupid, he asked.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll just deal with two casualties."

Xinghua said, seeing that Lynch didn't believe it, she smiled and grabbed two big crabs from the bamboo basket in her hand, pretending to be happy, and said, "I don't like to eat buns, I want to eat crabs."

"I want to eat crabs too."

Lynch looked at the meat bun in his hand, and then at the big crab in Xinghua's hand, a little drooling, steamed big crab, it's been a long time since I ate it. .

"It's all bad apricot blossoms."

Xinghua burst into tears, "It's Xinghua who is useless, I can't let you live a good life, I'm so useless..."

"Shut up. I really want to eat crabs."

Lynch gave Xinghua a headache.

Although she knew that Xinghua was doing it for his own good, that's why she gave him buns and crabs for herself.

But for Lynch, buns are not as delicious as crabs!
"Xinghua, where did you get this crab?"

"I caught it from the lake. My lord, you should eat steamed buns. These crabs are only eaten by inferior people."

Seeing that Lynch really wanted to eat crabs, Xinghua became anxious and tried to persuade him.

"Eat your steamed stuffed bun. I'm sure I'll eat this crab."

Lynch couldn't laugh or cry, knowing that Xinghua had good intentions, but he always felt weird.

Seeing that Xinghua wanted to persuade her, Lynch quickly covered Xinghua's mouth with a steamed bun, and then happily carried the crab to start a fire.

Steamed hairy crabs are delicious!

Hey, it would be fine if Xinghua didn't cry by the side.

Lunch ended with the crying of Xinghua.

This silly girl always thought that it was useless for Lynch to eat crabs that even dogs would not eat.

This made Lynch angry and funny.

But seeing Xinghua's serious face, Lynch felt that he had to solve the current food crisis.

Crabs are good, but you can't eat them every day.

"Damn. I don't know what the empress is thinking. The favorability is almost 60. Why don't you let me out of the cold palace?"

Lynch pondered.

"My lord, it's mainly because I moved too slowly in the morning. I will work harder in the afternoon, and I will definitely let you have a hot meal.

If you work harder, maybe you can bring chicken legs back to the nobleman. "

Under Lynch's persecution, Xinghua ate the steamed stuffed bun brought back with tears in her eyes. Seeing Lynch thinking, she patted her small chest tearfully to reassure Lynch.

"Wipe your tears. Let me ask you, where is the lake where you catch crabs, and take me there."

Lynch asked and made a decision.

He didn't know how long it would take for the empress to release him from the cold palace, but no matter what, the food problem still had to be resolved, and Xinghua couldn't put all the burden on Xinghua alone.

It's okay to eat the soft rice of the empress, even the soft rice of the little palace maid, is that still a human being?
There is nothing wrong with being self-reliant.

Anyway, he is confident that he will soon be favored by the empress, and he will leave the cold palace within a few days.

Wrong yourself first, eat some hairy crabs, fish and shrimp or something.

In short, if you don't ask for help, you must not let those guards and eunuchs who look down on you be bullied.

"Son."

Xinghua started crying again, feeling that she was too useless.

It actually reduced Lynch to the point of going to the lake to fish for food, catching fish, shrimps and crabs that no one would eat.

It's not that Xinghua is stupid.

But in this era, no one really eats fish, shrimp and crab because it is too fishy.

Not only fish, shrimp and crabs, but also pork, and now it is also the food of the untouchables.

"You girl."

Lynch looked at the weeping Xinghua, thought for a while, spent five points of favorability, and exchanged for god-level cooking skills from the system store.

【Ding!You spent 5 favorability points and successfully exchanged for god-level cooking skills, current favorability point: 50]
