her request.

"Jang Geum, you are excellent, can you tell me how you mastered the trick of stringing pine nuts in such a short period of time?" Cui Shanggong asked curiously.

"Your Majesty... In fact, Sister Jinying told me how to string pine nuts." Chang Jin said in a low voice.

"Jinying?"

Cui Shanggong was surprised. Her niece has always been arrogant and despised her contemporaries. When she gave Jang Geum the chance to go out of the palace, she already felt that something was wrong. Unexpectedly, Jang Geum won because of With Jinying's help.

"Seeing Jang Geum's hard work last night, my little girl felt very touched. There are not many children who can work so hard, so my little girl chatted with her for a while. This child has a very high understanding and quickly mastered the art of stringing pine nuts." The trick."

There was a smile on Jinying's face that she didn't know.

Seeing Jinying's expression, Cui Shanggong was taken aback for a moment, and after digesting Jinying's performance, Cui Shanggong almost couldn't hide his excitement.

She knew that the opportunity she had been longing for had finally appeared.

A few days after the competition, Jinying has been waiting for Jang Geum to come to her and express his gratitude to her, and then they can become good friends, but after waiting for a long time, Jinying did not see Jang Geum taking the initiative she

Originally, Jinying thought that she would give Jang Geum the chance to go out of the palace, and Jang Geum would get closer to her, but who knew that the news finally came that Jang Geum gave up the chance to go out of the palace to Lian who didn't know who it was. born.

Jinying felt that her breath was stuck in her heart and she couldn't get out, and she couldn't swallow it even if she wanted to swallow it. After thinking about it, Jinying was still standing not far from the palace gate on the day Lian gave birth to the palace, looking at Jang Geum Farewell Liansheng.

"Why? Why did you give her the opportunity?" Jinying didn't understand, she was just a little court lady with low talent and refused to work hard, why would Jang Geum give her the opportunity given to her before giving it away.

"Go away, I don't want to be with you." Seeing Jinying, Jang Geum abnormally did not show a smiling face, but quickly avoided Jinying.

"why?"

Jinying thought that Jang Geum was just a child throwing a temper tantrum, so he didn't care, and instead got closer to Jang Geum.

Jang Geum still wanted to escape, but failed, so he could only look at Jinying angrily.

"During the exam, you did it on purpose!" Jang Jin accused.

"Because of what you said, my sisters ignore me now!" Jang Jin was very sad. Originally, she was bullied by the little maids headed by Ling Lu because of her identity, but now she has something like this again. Everyone thinks she is a traitor, and they don't want to talk to her, and they don't allow her to enter their circle, which makes Jinying very annoyed.

"Leave them alone, they are not talented and unwilling to work hard, they are not the same people as us."

Jinying didn't expect Jang Geum to be unwilling to talk to her because of this reason, and also to alienate her.

"That's not true! The sisters are also working hard!"

Jang Geum retorted unconvinced, in Jinying's eyes, Jang Geum losing his temper is really cute, making people want to pinch it very much.

"With their aptitude, even if they work hard for 100 years, they will not be able to achieve anything!"

Jin Yingcai didn't think that group of losers had any abilities, the only person who could be her opponent was this little maid in front of her.

"You're talking nonsense! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Jang Jin said angrily. After speaking, he ran towards the training center.

"I'm not wrong..." Jinying looked at the back of Jang Geum leaving, and pouted.

She has always been the pride of the family, a leader among her peers, and she has always been the one who dismisses people who come up to her. Finally, there is someone who she feels is worthy of friendship, but she simply rejected her like this... …

Jinying couldn't figure out why this happened.

"Mother, why doesn't Jang Geum like me?" Back at Cui Sanggong's residence, Jinying sat at the table thinking for a long time but couldn't come up with a result. As a last resort, Jinying told Cui Shang everything she was thinking about. Gong, I hope Cui Shanggong can help her.

"What do you think?" Cui Shanggong has been sitting in her seat in the middle of the room for a long time, and Cui Shanggong is very relieved to see Jinying seriously thinking about her relationship with others. When Jinying asked her, Cui Shanggong did not answer immediately, but asked Jinying back.

"I know that the other little maids are excluding Jang Geum because they think that Jang Geum has informed me about this incident, but what does it matter? There is no need to waste time on those stupid people Ah." This is Jinying's true thoughts, Cui Shanggong sighed after hearing this, Jinying's thoughts were within her expectation.

"Jinying, do you know why every generation of our family sends girls to the palace?" Avoiding Jinying's question, Cui Shanggong asked Jinying another question.

"Our Cui family has controlled the imperial kitchen for generations, and it has been the most noble palace of the imperial kitchen for generations. Every generation sends a girl into the palace, and it must contribute to the status of the Cui family in the imperial kitchen." Jin Ying didn't understand Cui. Why did Shang Gong ask her this question at this time, but she still answered honestly.

"The current Empress of the Most Noble Palace is my aunt. After the current Empress of the Most Noble Palace abdicates, I will take over the position of the Most Noble Palace. When I abdicate, you will take over my seat. If you still care about yourself at that time, even if I want to pass the position to you, you will successfully take over the position of the most noble maid, but if no one obeys you, how can you continue the inheritance of the Cui family!"

Cui Shanggong wanted to say these words to Jinying a long time ago, but Jinying has always been arrogant. Even if she told her at that time, she just heard it and left it aside, and would not take it to heart. If there is such an opportunity for Jinying to experience it for herself, her feelings will be even deeper.

Originally, Cui Sanggong thought that this opportunity would come very late, and Jinying would be able to understand it after a severe blow, but he did not expect that the existence of Jang Geum would advance the arrival of this opportunity, and Jinying would not be able to understand it. Didn't get hit too hard.

"You think the other little court ladies are stupid people, so how many smart people like you do you think? Is Min Shanggong very qualified? But her words have certain weight to a certain extent, and more Needless to say Han Shanggong."

"'Jang Geum's qualifications are good, but her status is low, she is an adopted daughter of a lowly family, so she needs to have a good relationship with the little maids to live a better life, but if you have a good relationship with you, you will make her life easier Good.' You think so, but what is the fact?"

"Niangniang..." Jinying is undoubtedly a smart person. She can naturally see what Cui Shanggong has revealed intentionally or unintentionally in the past. She has always believed that interpersonal relationships are useless, but the fact is completely opposite to what she thinks.

"If you still care about the glory of the Cui family, then think about what you should do in the future." Cui Shanggong put it bluntly, regardless of Jinying's embarrassment.

"..." Jinying had nothing to say, and silence spread in the room.

"However, 'closer is obscene', I can't imagine the scene where the most noble palace empress has no majesty, monk palaces, palace ladies, and little palace ladies mingle." After thinking about Cui Shanggong's words carefully, Jinying proposed objection.

"That's right, you are right in thinking, but you are not the most noble palace now, but a little palace lady. The so-called 'you can't seek political success if you are not in the position', you can now prepare for becoming the most noble palace in the future. Establish prestige among the palace maids and win over valuable and prestigious people, I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to do well." Cui Shanggong looked at Jinying with a smile.

"Yes, ma'am, I will work hard." Jinying saluted Cui Shanggong.

"Where is Jang Geum..." After realizing her mistake, Jinying thought about Jang Geum again.

"Jang Geum's status is low, it's fine to befriend her, but your real friend should be Miss Shijia, do you understand?" Cui Shanggong said indifferently.

"Yes." Jinying knew that Cui Sanggong's words were correct, but she was just curious about Jang Geum, and Jang Geum was the first person to reject her, so she had to let Jang Geum do it again. Come back to her.

rebuke

It has been more than a month since the in-depth conversation with Cui Sanggong, and the relationship between Jang Geum and Jinying has not improved at all, but it seems that after returning from the palace, Jang Geum has become more loyal. The attitude of the leading ladies of the family towards Jinying changed from envy and jealousy to sincere admiration.

Jinying is very satisfied with the current state. The fly in the ointment is that Jang Geum has always ignored her. Even though Lula and the ladies of the family pushed him out together, she did not ask Jinying for help. This made Jinying a little distressed. .

"Jinying, these are the books that your uncle's subordinates brought back from Daming Kingdom. He knew you liked reading, so he asked someone to bring them in for you." After Cui Shanggong called Jinying into the room, he put the bundle One of the books in the book was handed to Jin Ying.

"This is...'Dongpo Poetry Collection'?" Jinying said in surprise when she saw the words on the cover.

Su Dongpo’s famous name, Jinying, has of course been heard. He is an amazingly talented person, especially his articles and poems occasionally involve various food and food production methods. The verdict really ordered someone to bring the book back to her.

"I know that you want this book is not the reason you said 'to learn how to cook food in the Ming Dynasty', but during this period of time you have grown and improved rapidly, this book is given as a reward you, no
