Surrounded by the overlapping eyes around her, Gu Yunxi's face remained unchanged. Compared with all kinds of stunned and confused imperial concubines, she was calm.
In the world, which woman did not value chastity?
In the eyes of many concubines, the noble concubine in front of them was a figure with a halo on her head. She was the Emperor's favorite imperial concubine with thousands of favors. How could she be tainted?
What did second marriage mean?
Could it be that such a beautiful woman had married someone else before she entered the Palace to serve the Emperor?
How was this possible?
For a time, the tulip garden was quiet all around. The imperial concubines looked at each other. Some people gathered their hands, others frowned, and each looked embarrassed.
The two slender figures of Gu Yunxi and Commandery Princess Jingle stood still in the thin orange sunset halo.

In the evening, the table was filled with fragrant meals.Gu Yunxi entertained concubines in various palaces tonight. The ingredients were not luxurious, but fresh.The dishes included braised pork tenderloin with ginkgo, fried prawns with hibiscus, steamed pork wrapped with scallops, grilled fish strips with pine nut vinegar, eight treasures roast chicken, fried duck breast with pearl, spicy eel paste with sesame oil, stewed deer tendon in ten spices hotpot, white mushroom with milk, fried pickled bamboo shoots and flowering cabbage, and bacon with mutton and fish soup.The ingredients on the table were nothing precious except the venison tendon.However, Gu Yunxi was very good at choosing dishes. She matched the simple colors of red, white, yellow, green and black to create a colorful visual enjoyment, and could compete with the imperial food for grace and noble sense.The imperial concubines were surprised. They nev
It was in the Cining Palace."Ninth Uncle, you're here. You're back from the northwest?"She turned her eyes and saw the man with white hair and red clothes sitting on the red sandalwood ring chair with two phoenix wings wrapped around the table carved with flowers and embedded with jade. Commandery Princess Jingle's tears stopped for a moment. She just stared for a moment and threw herself at him."Ninth Uncle, I miss you so much!"The man was the cold-faced King Xiaoyao, Huanan He, who was escorted back to the capital by the captain of the bodyguard personally from the northwest.He just entered the Palace. He heard that the Emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to see him. He had to come to the Cining Palace to greet Imperial Mother Xiao Miaoyin.Listening to the girl's heart-rending cries, the man pulled up a good-looking smile, gently surrounded her with two powerful arms, and his v
In the rain, when the imperial carriage stopped in Jingyang Palace, Gu Yunxi and maids had already kneeled in the hall.A sense of strange and familiar fragrance slowly lingered in the quiet air.As soon as Huanan Xin went into the hall, the white silk hanging on the beam engraved with flowers caught his eyes.He quickly walked in front of Gu Yunxi who lowered her head and kneeled, directly holding her up."Yunxi, you behave so boldly! Commandery Princess Jingle is not my biological sister. But for her father's contribution to our nation, she is brought up and valued by my mother. But you... How could you slap her?"Huanan Xin looked annoyed, sullenly pulled off the white silk, and threw it down. Then he anxiously sighed."You can imitate someone, but you shouldn’t imitate those vulgar women! Why do you cry, argue, and commit suicide?"As a fragrant figure softly kneeled, Gu Yunxi sobbed and c
When Noble Concubine Hui, Shi Yuanqing, was admitted to walk into the palace, Imperial Mother Xiao Miaoyin was leaning on the bed. With a soft pillow embroidered with peonies and tassels leaned on her back, she smoked a water pipe.It was time to go to bed. Therefore, she just wore a green gown embroidered with blessed words, with a hollow coronet made of white jade and a pure pin keeping her bun.Since she moved in Cining Palace, through the application of Xiangyu Powder, her half face damaged by the fire had been recovered.Shi Yuanqing walked into the palace as her face slightly blushed, lowering her head and saluting."Your Grace, I express my best wishes to you. In such an evening, I meet and disrupt you. It is my blame."Imperial Mother Xiao held a water pipe in her hand, slightly keeping her upper body upright. Then she raised her chin and shifted her eyes. In the beaming light, some coldness occurred in her eye
The warm sunbeam in spring slowly lit up the palace wall.After getting up in the morning, Gu Yunxi went into the small kitchen and made two snacks by herself.One was called "Peach Blossom", and the other was called "Bayberry". They were all one of the 28 delicious foods mentioned in her mother Pei Rushi's book, The Exquisite Collection of Delicacies.It was mentioned in the book that first mashed the cabbage from foreigners; mixed it with white vinegar to make a pink juice; mixed an appropriate amount of wheat starch and potato powder; kneaded it into a dough; cut it into small portions; and then pressed it into a round cake.Each small flour cake was wrapped with pork, Magnolia, red medicine, Wuling, honey, pearl powder, and poria cocos powder, and the seal was pinched into the shape of peach blossoms.After steaming, the small sweets in the shape of peach blossoms would show a crystal-clear pink, which was extremel
"Your Grace..."The maids in Miaoyin Hall were shocked.Hongjing shouted and did not know what to do.Other eunuchs wanted to save Noble Concubine Hui. However, they did not dare to do that. They were afraid that the shiny hair pin close to Noble Concubine Hui's face would hurt her if they acted rashly.Noble Concubine Hui suddenly widened her eyes, with her pupils getting small. One could see her panic through the eyes."B*tch... You're a b*tch! What the hell are you doing?" Noble Concubine Hui said.Fearful and annoyed, she shouted at Gu Yunxi in a sharp voice.Gu Yunxi smiled slightly, poking her face with the hair pin."Ah!" Noble Concubine Hui yelled.After yelling, she shut up suddenly. She was afraid that if Gu Yunxi poked her face a little harder, her tender face would be injured."Your Grace, my name is Yunxi. You shouldn't call me b*tch."
It was in the Pingjiang County, Jiangnan Feudatory by King Xian."What? Your Highness, what you said is true?"After listening to the news brought by Lu Qiange and his wife in the reception room of King Xian's residence, Gu Yunyao was no longer calm. The temperature of her five fingers was cold, and she had a cold sweat in the palm of her hand.Sitting up slowly from the rose chair, the woman's face was as white as paper, and her eyes were stunned and straight.She murmured and her whole body suddenly softened and sat in the chair again."Master, be careful!" Song Qin walked quickly to help her.Zhao An was silent. He only looked at nanny and signaled her to lead King Xian Huanan Lin down first.From that day, when he said goodbye to Gu Yunxi in the Imperial Palace, Lu Qiange sent spies around the capital to inquire about the whereabouts of his Uncle Huanan He. Soon, he got the address
In the capital, Huanan He excitedly hit four beauties from the palace with a horsewhip in the flower hall of the Ninth Prince's Mansion."Hup! Go! Go! Come on! Come on! Hahaha."The whip swished in the air for many times brought the sharp wind blowing over four girls' ears. Beaten by the whip, girls tried to escape from his attack, like weak reptiles.The man didn't violently hit them. In addition, their clothes were thin and they were tender and fine-boned after they lived in the palace.So even if the beat by the crazy man was not hard and their clothes were not torn, there were still some weals on their snow-white skin.How could these 15-or-16-year-old girls bear the pain that was so severe that as if they had been cut by a knife?They shrieked and begged, frightened and helpless. They even rolled and tumbled on the ground to prevent themselves from being beaten by him, like four spinning tops w
Terra Nova's ninth year of the Daedalic Years, early spring.Kamakawa Yusui is shocked and annoyed when he receives news of a coup at the Imperial Palace and the imminent ascension of Prince Fuchi Yasutaka to the throne as the next Emperor.Since the Kunhuang Island and Huananhe lost a battle, Kamachi sailors suffered a heavy blow, Kamakawa was forced to take the remaining troops retreated to the south of Kunhuang Island, Tsuneoshima stationed.Unexpectedly, just when he was trying to avoid the previous shame and had been intensifying the study of the new combat program, the country had a great turnaround.Can't think too much, Kamakawa by water immediately point all 10,000 Ying army, lead five Anzai ship and a number of ships, with enough artillery Furlong machine fire speed back to Ying, swore to fight with and Shigeru cuts a high and low winners and losers.One night, as Kamakawa's fleet secretly approached Mizumura Harbor in Kyoto, a thick fog sudde
In the banquet hall of the palace, the fire and candles were bright, four dancing girls lined up, green silk buns, colorful makeup, silk sleeves fluttering and swaying, dancing in a slow and rhythmic dance.Two or three male musicians are not far from them, playing strings, flute, drums, each person's face is calm and solemn, but in the eyes of God duh, seems to have the essence of the aura of a hidden flash.The dinner was organized to celebrate the fifteenth birthday of Emperor Fuchi Masaharu, but due to the defeat of the Terra Nova army in Weihai, many of the entertainments were temporarily canceled, and only the traditional Yehime songs and dances were retained.Profound Ya Qing was the main character of tonight's banquet, at this time he was wearing brand new scarlet damask silk clothes kneeling above the chief belonging to him, looking quiet and enjoying the songs and dances.On the seats to his left were the former Emperor's side consort, Daiji, with h
Terra Nova, Kyoto.As night falls, in a short house in the civilian area, the blind man is anxiously waiting for his mother-in-law to return home from work.She hadn't been back for a day and a night, and that definitely hadn't happened in the past.Could it be that the Ninth Princess has encountered something on her end?Rustling footsteps stopped unexpectedly at the door.The blind man's sense of hearing is much more sensitive than normal people, his eyebrows slightly gathered, and without moving, he got up and lightly rubbed his steps to the wooden cabinet, and touched a sharp dagger from the top of the cabinet and quietly hid it in the sleeve of his coat.The door of the room opened, and by the sound of the footsteps coming in there should be two of them."You're Suigo Show's man, aren't you?"The one who asked the question in Terra Nova was a young man.The blind man turned his head sideways, carefully recognizing the source
A cold wind cut through the long, narrow corridor, and the lights flickered dimly.The man's ragged gasps continued to spill out of the closed wooden lattice barricade door, accompanied by the occasional few hushed cries of pain from the woman."Haru, come on, I'll accompany you to your room."Looking at Yuan Ya Qing's stagnant and godless clear face, Yun Shi's heart seized more than just pain as she tugged on one of his arms.The commotion in the room was in no way suitable for a teenager to be listening in.The teenager's eyes were lax as he took two steps with her, speaking quietly in Chinese: ."...Master, you have to trust me as well...it wasn't Mother and I's idea to march into Da Yi."Yun Shi suddenly became miserable inside, opened and closed his nose and said."I believed you, never had a doubt, and it was for that reason that I traveled across the river and across the sea to meet you in person in Terra Nova."The two co
"Yue Xilou, you traitor shall not die!"Qi and blood surged, and a strong hatred that had never been felt before invaded Yun Shi's consciousness.She jumped up with her eyes heavy with red and lunged at her enemy with all her might, reaching for his neck.Yue Xilou laughed scornfully and kicked her backwards with a flying leg.Yun Shi fell out onto the hard floor a few feet away, choking on blood and letting out a pained _groan_.Wamochi stretched his neck to look at it, grinning imploringly.Tsukishiro looks at the samurai on either side :)"Don't just stand there, take her down and keep her under good guard, she'll be of great use in the future.""Slow down ......"Yun Shi forced to endure the pain of bones about to break trembling climbed up, far away from looking at the abyss Ya Qing, the expression of desolate:"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you, please send the counselor."Empress Yuanya immediately s
The fact that the mute applicant, Yun, who was originally scrubbed out of the test, has been recognized by the Emperor as the Imperial Chef, shocks the entire Grand Cookhouse early the next morning.The cooks and handymen who had looked down on her earlier were now gathered in front of the stove in the cooking room, watching intently as she operated it herself.Even in the past days always rigid board a big white face of apricot leaf female master, this time all people before and after chasing after Yun Shi everywhere running, flattery, mouth like a river, all do their best to please. At sunrise, Yunshi was wearing a green coat and pants, put on a large apron to the stove to do the work.With white flour rolled out and crabmeat and shrimp mince and red fish roe in the filling, the meat buns are pinched out with absolutely thirty-three folds.Chicken breast, corn and green beans are sauteed in oil, thickened with soy sauce and pan-fried wine, and wrapped in so
He is, after all, the Emperor!Following the direction of Master Apricot Leaf's kneeling, Yun Shi looked at the teenager, his eyes filled with astonishment.The standing tasseled crown and the yellow coat are indeed the symbols of the imperial nobility of Terra Nova.But, this young man, he is actually the Emperor."Mute, why don't you kneel down!"The apricot leaf matron raised her eyes to the unresponsive Gu Yunshi and chided."Eh, forget it, forget it ...... Master Chief, you get up too."Meeting Yun Shi's eyes, the teenager's face flushed red and blushed as he explained: ."Granny, I don't mean to deceive you ...... I, I didn't eat well in the evening meal, and I was really hungry just now."Yun Shi's complexion returned to normal, pursed her lips and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.Heh, how could she mind?She was begging for it!The hostess rises obsequiously and comes up to nod at the tee
The night fell slowly, blotting out the last rays of red light in the sky.The entire Western Garden was silent.Cloudseeker stood in the tiny compound under the endless sky, raising his head to look up at the dark inky colors of the night sky.In the field of vision, that heavy darkness seems to carry some kind of adsorption magic, only teaching people to look at a glance, want to look through.She failed the test to become a chef and lost her chance to enter the palace and meet the Emperor.Such a result directly disrupted all her latter plans.After losing her temper for a while, she thought of Hua Nanhe, who is still fighting in the battlefield, Yingyu, who is trapped in the palace of Dayi, and brother Mu Xiu, who is waiting for them to return home.Yun Shi's eyes burned as she quickly regained her fighting spirit.Now is not the time to be discouraged, since one way does not work, then find another way.The hour was already
Terra Nova, outside the Abyssinian Palace, West Court.The large cooking room was busy with players in white shirts and blue pants around wooden cases and stoves.In five days, Emperor Fuchiya's fifteenth birthday will be celebrated, and not only will there be a large-scale celebration dinner at the palace, but an all-day parade and festival will be organized throughout Kyoto."Faster, faster, the hour for the king to pass the meal is almost here, and later on your handmade delicacies will be the basis for whether or not you can stay as a loose cook."The woman in charge, Apricot Leaf, is in her thirties, with a purple shirt and pants, wandering around every corner of the cooking room with a stern look, urging the contestants with her mouth, and repeatedly scrutinizing their cooking techniques with her cold and warm gaze.The twenty casual chef applicants came from Terra Nova folk, both men and women, and most of their referrals were cooks and assistant
