Concubine Yi wanted to show off her concubine to the second prince, so she invited seven or eight ladies to the palace on the pretext of a flower viewing party.
I don’t know if the Eighth Prince was involved in this.
The second prince thought of a way and included Tang Yiwan's name on the invitation list.
When Tang Yiwan learned that Concubine Yi had invited her to the palace to enjoy the flowers, she was half happy and half sad!
She had suffered a loss in the palace before, and she was afraid of a place like this!
She doesn't have any ideas, and she can't fight other people's schemes.
You will only suffer a loss if you go in.
But you can't refuse the invitation of Empress Yi Fei, otherwise it will be disrespectful.
Fortunately, to her delight, she recently developed a new dish.
You can talk to the Eighth Prince and let him taste it if you have the chance.

Thanks to the Eighth Prince for always encouraging her over the years.
Only then can she stick to what she likes.
Whenever she came up with a new dish, she would invite the Eighth Prince to taste it.
He would always say: "Yiwan, it will be my father's loss if you don't come to the palace to be the royal cook."
Tang Yiwan felt that what he said was polite, but he was still happy about it.
Therefore, even though entering the palace frightened her, she was able to face it bravely when she thought of the Eighth Prince.
The carriage brought her to the entrance of the palace, and she had to get down and walk.
The little eunuch led her to the garden where Concubine Yi held a banquet.
Unexpectedly, the other ladies had already arrived.
Concubine Yi came earlier and was watching the ladies show off their "magical powers" and talents.
Some of them can play the piano well, and some have poems, lyrics and poems at their fingertips.
Some people dedicated their recent paintings to Concubine Yi.
There was another person holding an exquisite and beautiful handkerchief in her hand. When others asked, they found out that she had embroidered it herself.
Tang Yiwan truly admired these ladies of the world.
In comparison, she doesn't seem to have any special skills.
She only knows the basics of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
She only knew a little about poetry and songs.
Concubine Yi saw that all the ladies were surrounding her.
The second prince, who was sitting in a pavilion not far away, was happy and relaxed.
She frowned and waved her fan: "Don't just share it with me, go and talk to His Highness the Second Highness."
The ladies had long wanted to go to the Second Prince, but the Second Prince was just looking at the lake and ignoring people.
They are all face-saving people, and of course they will not bring trouble on themselves.
But when Concubine Yi spoke, they all had valid reasons and walked towards the second prince one after another.
Only Tang Yiwan sat there, motionless.
Concubine Yi saw it out of the corner of her eye and thought to herself: This is a sure thing. Could it be that she has other plans?
At this time, the palace maid served a piece of sour bamboo shoots and old duck soup.
"Your Majesty, the imperial dining room has just been delivered."
Yifei opened the lid and smelled it, then put it back with a bit of disgust.
She shook her head: "I don't like it. Although the duck is defeated by the fire, the tiger has returned to the fever now, and I can't eat it."
"Let the imperial kitchen think of another way. If we can't make delicious dishes today, I will have no choice but to continue eating bird's nests."
The palace maid paused for a moment in embarrassment before nodding: "Yes."
This is already the sixth dish that Yifei has rejected.
The weather in autumn has been dry recently, and Yifei has a bad appetite at this time of year.
She is willing to spend a lot of money just to find a delicious dish.
But once the money was in place, it was difficult for the imperial kitchen to come up with new ideas to please Concubine Yi.
This stumped those great royal chefs.
Concubine Yi watched the palace maid retreat. She shook her fan and raised her eyes inadvertently, only to see Tang Yiwan staring straight at the old Gu duck soup in front of her.
