Madam Liao frowned and said to herself when hearing Gu Yunxi talk about the Lychee Jelly.
"Doesn't Concubine Xu know that the lychee is originally the fruit in season in mid-May? It is already July. How come can we get lychees now?"
Aunt Li, who was next to her, pulled her sleeves and pouted lips at Gu Yunxi while suppressing a snicker.
Madam Liao immediately understood when she saw Aunt Li's hint, and then she stepped back aside and said to Gu Yunxi with a gleeful delight.
"Hey, now that Concubine Xu ordered you to do it, you have no other choice. However, even the Concubinary Kitchen and the Imperial Kitchen don't have fresh lychees at the moment, let alone our small kitchen!"
Madam Liao thought that since Concubine Xu intended to make things difficult for this newcomer, the small kitchen's other members needed not to get involved. She could simply wait and see how the girl would make lychees e

She was drawing in front of the desk while governor Jinzhu was standing beside her."Your Grace."Gu Yunxi bowed before the desk."Forego formalities."Concubine Xu stopped drawing, raised her clear eyes, and smiled softly at Gu Yunxi."I've tasted that Lychee Jelly with ice water. The taste was unique, but the color was different from what I usually ate. Come and tell me. Where did you get the lychee and how did you do it?"Gu Yunxi knelt on the ground with a plop, then kowtowed and said."Your Grace, please forgive me for hiding the truth."Concubine Xu already knew it in her heart. She was neither anx

There was a grand lantern festival on North Street, and businesses of the other blocks were also unwilling to miss the profit opportunities during annual Girls' Day.In front of restaurants and inns, lights were hung up to greet visitors.

The masked man let go of Gu Yunxi, yet his cold gaze remained on Huanan Xin. In a freezing voice, he spoke."Prince Chen... The son of the tyrant..."Before his words died down, he picked up a cobble and shot it at Huanan Xin."No!"Gu Yunxi rumbled as she intervened with her palm. The cobble shattered midway through the air before it could touch Prince Chen."Are you opposing me for this fool?!"The masked man turned his stern eyes to Gu Yunxi and withdrew his palm, which crackled as it clenched.Gu Yunxi blinked and lowered her eyes in horror."I dare not... But master, your Kungfu is unparalleled.
