The next morning, Luo Lan asked someone to inform Luo Xue that she would go to the palace and let her decide on the matter of returning to the Chuntang.

Today she specially brought two male Dings into the palace because there were very important things to bring into the palace.

Everything was ready, so she took A Cai, A Hong and two male servants out.

The servants rushed to the car, A Cai, A Hong and Luo Lan sat in the car together. Today's princess was dressed very simply. She closed her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about something. After A Cai and A Hong winked each other, they both held their breath and did not dare to disturb them, for fear of confusing the princess's thoughts.

The carriage soon arrived at the palace gate. Her face, coupled with her identity as Princess Yu, had long been known to the people in the palace, so she did not need to show a token. After the guards checked the items she accompanied, they let her enter the palace.

She took A Cai and A Hong, and the two servants, each carrying two full cloth bags, and after entering the palace gate, she headed straight for Furong Palace.

Her purpose today is very clear, which is to find Concubine Li.

When she came to Furong Palace, the girl hurriedly ran in to report. After a while, the girl ran out.

"Princess Yu, Empress invites you in."

After Luo Lan nodded, she ordered A Cai, A Hong and the two male servants:

“Just wait here.”

"Yes, princess."

After receiving their response, Luo Lan raised her foot and walked into Furong Palace.

She has been to Furong Palace several times before, but it seems a bit deserted compared to before.

After she entered the main hall of Furong Palace, she saw that there was no one around, so she looked here for a week, but there was no sign of Concubine Li. Could it be that she came too early and Concubine Li had not yet gotten up?

While she was thinking, Concubine Li's voice came from inside.

"Princess Yu, it's really rude to make you wait for a long time."

Luo Lan hurriedly looked at the sound and saw Concubine Li walking towards her with a tired face.

Looking at her outfit, she must have just gotten up, and the makeup on her face was very perfunctory, and she could see obvious wrinkles along with the clothes.

"I came to see the Queen in the morning, so I was so troubled. How could I dare to take on your rude things?"

Concubine Li smiled slightly, and she waved her hand to the girl at the door.

"Princess Yu is here, why don't you know how to serve tea? A group of people with no eyes."

After the girl gave her a quick greeting, she quickly went to prepare the tea.

Luo Lan shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly,

"Why is the empress so angry in the early morning? Are there any worries?"

"well!"

Concubine Li sighed in a long sigh and said with self-pity:

"I have nowhere to tell you if I have troubles! I just have the title of this imperial concubine, but I seem to live so much that I am not as good as that palace maid..."

"Why did the Empress have this idea? You live in Furong Palace, wearing silk and satin, eating delicacies and a girl serving you. How could you feel that even a girl is inferior to a girl?"

"hehe……"

Concubine Li smiled bitterly, raised her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, muttering in her mouth,

"What's the use of eating well, dressing well, and being forgotten? The emperor may return to the west one day. At that time, he will still be buried with him."

Hearing this, Luo Lan looked at her in shock.

"Empress, don't say that. The emperor has recovered very well recently. If you say this, someone will hear you. It's a big taboo in the palace!"

"So what? The emperor's health is almost recovering now. I went to pay his respects to him, but he never looked at me with a look. I heard that last night, he went to Liyuan to spend the night. It was dawn and he had not come out yet. What am I? I have no descendants around me, but I am just a chess piece that will be discarded at any time."

At this point, she lowered her head lonely. The girl took the tray containing tea, poured a cup of tea for them each, Luo Lan ordered the girl:

"I have a few words to say to the Queen and I, you all, go down."

The girl glanced at Concubine Li, and after getting her consent, she turned around to greet the rest of the people and retreated.

When Luo Lan and Concubine Li were left here, Concubine Li picked up the teacup, lifted the tea lid, and slowly brushed off the foam from the teacup, but did not drink the cup of tea, but placed it again on the table.

She seemed uneasy and listless.

Looking at her expression, Luo Lan suddenly felt that she was somewhat similar to Yu Qiaoqiao. Although she lived a life of luxury, she felt extremely empty.

"Empress, I heard that the emperor is obsessed with the soup made by Concubine Li? Have you heard of this?"

"I have heard that people have good cooking skills, but they have tied the emperor's heart and can't be envious."

"Then why don't you tie the emperor with your method?"

"hehe……"

Concubine Li smiled with a self-deprecating smile. She looked up at Luo Lan with desolation in her eyes.

"Me? I have never touched Yangchun water since I was a child. I can't eat anything except for knowing how to eat. What can I do?"

"Don't you want to try it? You just gave up?"

Luo Lan's questioning made a dark look appear on Concubine Li's face. She picked up the cup of tea again, repeated the action just now, but still did not drink a sip of water, and put the tea cup down again.

After habitually doing these movements, she looked up at Luo Lan again and said calmly:

"Princess Yu came to my Furong Palace not only to chat with me, but it was not the first time we had a deal. If you have anything to say, just say it. I believe that you are a person. If you come to me, it must be for my own good."

Luo Lan didn't expect that Concubine Li would be so happy that she stopped going around. Seeing that the girls were all guarding outside the door and could not hear them talking, she said directly:

"I came today, and I really want to help you. I want to help you tie the emperor's stomach and then tie his heart."

Concubine Li looked at her with her eyes and asked in surprise:

"What do you mean? What does it mean to tie the emperor's stomach? Please make clear the truth about Princess Yu."

Luo Lan smiled and picked up the teacup, took a sip, and the moment she put down the teacup, lifted the handkerchief, wiped the corner of her mouth, and said slowly:

"Concubine Li can tie the emperor's heart with a bowl of soup, why can't you Concubine Li?"

Seeing that Luo Lan had said something back, Concubine Li laughed at herself.

"I just said that I can't cook, why did Princess Yu keep talking about this?"

"I can teach you..."

Luo Lan looked at her mysteriously, "I originally wanted to teach you how many kinds of soups, but I thought about it last night. Concubine Li made soup and you made soup again, it seemed a bit pretentious. Then make something that others would not know about!"

"Others won't?"

Concubine Li looked at her curiously.

"And there are dishes that the imperial chef in the palace can't do? What is it?"

Luo Lan smiled cunningly with her eyes and then clapped her hands at the people outside, "Put in what I have prepared."

The two servants walked in with two cloth bags. Luo Lan waved his hand and they retreated. At the same time, Ah Hong and A Cai also walked in.

Luo Lan ordered the two of them:

"Open the bag and take out the contents inside."

A Cai and A Hong opened the bag together and took the things inside out one by one.

Luo Lan glanced at Concubine Li, chuckled at her, and walked towards Ah Hong and the others. Concubine Li followed curiously.

At this time, she saw a strange pot and asked curiously:
Chapter completed!
