The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Xie Yuzhen happily analyzed Liu Shuyi's current approach to everyone. At the end, he couldn't help but sigh that Liu Shuyi had really become more capable - if she had already had such means, how could she have fallen from the position of a favorite concubine?

It turns out that life requires experience.

However, if Liu Shuyi had been so difficult to deal with from the beginning, I'm afraid Concubine Xu would not be in the good situation she is in now.

Xie Yuzhen watched his daughter crawling for a while, then picked her up and prepared to go out to bask in the sun.

After the beginning of spring, the days became warmer day by day. Even though Yuanjun was in good health, Xie Yuzhen did not dare to neglect her. Every day at noon when the sun was the warmest, he would hold her in his arms and walk a few laps in the yard.

The snacks sent from the imperial kitchen today are egg cake and plum cake.

Xie Ruizhen thought the former was too sweet and only ate two pieces of plum pastry. The soft pastry crust was wrapped with this year's freshly pickled plum jam, which was sour and sweet and very refreshing. After eating two pieces, Xie Ruizhen lifted the matching teacup, but when he brought it to his nose, he smelled a milky smell. He opened the lid and saw a slightly brown liquid swaying in the cup.

"What is this new food?" Xie Yuzhen asked.

Xiaoxi took a look and replied, "This is a new drink made by a new sister under my aunt. She said it is called pearl milk tea."

"Pearls?" Xie Yuzhen took the silver spoon from Xiaoxi and stirred it. She found a few small black balls floating in it. She tried to drink a sip. It was milky and sweet. She didn't like it very much. She bit a small ball. It was also soft, sweet and smooth, not to her taste.

After tasting it, Xie Yuzhen put it down: "This thing is very novel. Yang Sishan has got a good subordinate..." As she said this, she suddenly had an inspiration and wanted to meet this palace lady.

Then he looked at Xiaoxi and said, "This is quite interesting to eat. I wonder who..."

"Your Majesty, that sister's name is now Tongyu."

At that time, the names of the palace maids and eunuchs selected from the people were mostly quite random, some big, some small, some unknown. For the sake of convenience, their surnames would be hidden and they would be given a new name after entering the palace. However, if a palace maid passed the examination to become a female official, or a eunuch obtained a leading position, they would be called by their surnames.

Of course, there are also those who did not change their names, such as Xiaoxi, and Zhou Si and Feng Gui who were gatekeepers in the cold palace.

"Then Xiaoxi, please ask Miss Tongyu if she has time to visit Shouning Palace. I want to ask her how she came up with this tea." Xie Yu really didn't like sweets. She preferred savory and spicy food, but she hid her taste preferences very well, leaving the imperial kitchen with the impression that Concubine Zhao Gui was not picky and very easy to feed.

In the imperial dining room.

Tongyu was feeling very anxious.

She is not the original Tongyu, but a soul from the future.

When Tongyu found out that she had not only traveled through time, but also traveled to a deep palace where people were eaten without leaving any bones, and became a little palace maid, she was completely devastated.

She clearly remembered that she was just eating ice cream and playing games, but she never thought that when she opened her eyes again, she would travel through time and space to the body of a little palace maid in the imperial kitchen named "Tongyu"... It just so happened that her original body had just been noticed by Yang Sishan from the imperial kitchen, who kept her by his side to learn cooking, and the day had gradually come for her to learn to cook.

But although Tongyu knew a few home-cooked dishes, she couldn't cook them well... Seeing that she was about to be exposed, Tongyu gritted her teeth and gave the job of cooking to another palace servant in the imperial kitchen. She made snacks and drinks herself, and took out the invincible killer weapon in all kinds of time-travel novels - pearl milk tea.

Seeing a girl dressed in the clothes of a second-class palace maid happily calling Yang Sishan "Auntie" and then picking up a cup of pearl milk tea she made and leaving, Tongyu's heart became more and more uneasy.

Yang Sishan tasted her innovation first before nodding his head and asking for it to be prepared. Tongyu encouraged herself in her heart and decided that after today's work was over, she would go back to get some silver and bribe the eunuch who was guarding the kitchen in the palace. When no one was around at night, she would practice her knife skills and seasoning while comparing them with the original owner's memory.

"This sister."

Tongyu was daydreaming when she suddenly heard a girl's voice. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young palace maid looking at her anxiously.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Tongyu asked her subconsciously.

The little maid showed a pleading expression: "Sister, do you have any appetizers here? The fourth princess can't eat anything, so the sister in the room asked me to come to the imperial kitchen to ask..."

After Liu Shuyi regained favor, she replaced all the palace servants who served herself and her daughter.

This little palace maid and the "sister" in the room as she called them were both recently added. The Fourth Princess was weak and had finally recovered a little and was able to walk and jump. However, under the doting of Liu Shuyi, who made up for it with guilt, she gradually became naughty and recently developed a new problem of being picky.

Liu Shuyi spoils her daughter, so if she doesn't want to eat this, she will change it for something else.

The fourth princess quickly got used to her mother's doting and regarded being picky about food as a fun game, which she would do several times during every meal.

After several times, the palace servants began to pass the buck secretly, and today the blame fell on the youngest and weakest palace maid.

Tongyu had just come here, and her original body had only stayed in the imperial kitchen to study hard, and was protected by Yang Sishan. She had no idea about the twists and turns in the palace, and her mind was blank: "Do you want to try this milk tea..."

Only after the words were out of her mouth did Tongyu feel that something was wrong.

The little maid's eyes lit up: "Will the princess like this?"

Tongyu was stunned, not knowing how to remedy the situation, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Why don't you try it first? This is sweet, and girls should like it..."

The more she talked, the less confident Tongyu became.

The little palace maid seemed to regard her words as a life-saving straw. After thanking her, she drank milk tea and picked a few snacks and side dishes, then left.

Looking at her back, Tongyu gradually began to feel scared.

Just when she was hesitating whether to ask Yang Sishan about this matter, Xiaoxi came.

Xiaoxi saw Tongyu as soon as she entered the room: "Sister Tongyu."

She greeted and walked over quickly. There was a delicate silver butterfly on each of the small buns on her head. The wings of the butterflies fluttered with the girl's excited steps.

Tongyu's heart suddenly lifted: "Xiaoxi?"

"Sister, please come with me to Shouning Palace. My queen has eaten the drink you made and is curious about it. She wants to see you!"

Tongyu was dragged away by the little girl in a daze. Thinking back to the time-travel novels she had read, could it be that she was about to be appreciated by a noble person?

Even if you don't achieve success overnight, you can still get some benefits?

But Shouning Palace...why does it sound familiar?
