At the restaurant, just as Gu Yanyue left, a gorgeously dressed woman came in. She had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and a pair of affectionate eyes. She looked very sweet, but what she did was not so authentic.

It’s Gu Yanrou.

She has been in the palace for quite a few days, but the number of times Yuwen Ran came to see Gu Yanrou is very few.

Every time she came to see Gu Yanrou, it was either to stand up for Gu Yanyue or for other things. Gu Yanrou could never figure out why she was inferior to Gu Yanyue?

How could she lose to Gu Yanyue when her appearance and talent were not top-notch?

It was not until the little palace maid beside her said that the emperor liked the food cooked by Gu Yanyue very much that Gu Yanrou seemed to have discovered some incredible secret. It turned out that the secret to capturing Yuwen Ranxin was her excellent cooking skills!

So Gu Yanrou thought she was smart and thought that as long as she learned how to cook, what else could Gu Yanyue do to compete with her?

When she heard today that Yuwen Ran was going to hold a cooking competition, Gu Yanrou knew that her chance had come again. As long as she won the cooking competition, she could get close to Yuwen Ran by using the excuse of cooking for him. After a long time, she didn't believe that she would lose to that concubine's daughter Gu Yanyue.

After getting the recipe for the soup from the chef, Gu Yanrou said with a smile, "You can prepare this dish in a few days, okay? And if you dare to tell anyone about what happened today, watch out for your life."

She had done this kind of thing too many times when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which led her to take it for granted that everything Gu Yanyue had should belong to her.

The cook was hesitant and watched Gu Yanrou leave before he took out the silver and played with it carefully, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and then smiled with satisfaction.

…

At the palace, the competition went smoothly and finally reached the finals. However, Gu Yanyue discovered someone, and that was her good sister Gu Yanrou.

They entered the finals directly without any preliminary rounds, and cheated in such a small competition. It's really disgusting.

Gu Yanyue looked at her sister and felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't say anything.

After tasting them one by one, Gu Yanyue discovered that there were many people in the palace who had good cooking skills.

Gu Yanrou came next. She brought a blue and white porcelain bowl and looked at Yuwen Ran lovingly. "I heard that Your Majesty has been having trouble sleeping recently. I made a soothing soup. Your Majesty, please try it."

Gu Yanyue listened to Gu Yanrou's words and actually felt that the term "calming soup" sounded familiar?

The next second, Gu Yanrou brought over the blue and white bowl and opened the lid. Gu Yanyue stretched her neck to take a look at the soup.

"Your Majesty, this soup was researched by me. It is made with ingredients such as lily and longan that are said to calm the mind. It is sweet but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and is very refreshing. Your Majesty, please try it." Turning around, she looked at Gu Yanyue, who was also smiling and generous. "Sister, try it too."

Gu Yanyue looked into the bowl and found it was dumpling soup!

And lilies.

Although it looked very different, Gu Yanyue felt that this weird thing was too much like the dumpling soup she made.

Gu Yanyue understood immediately. She had only been to the restaurant to reveal the secret recipe of the dumpling soup. It seemed that she was too careless in her daily life and actually kept some traitors in the restaurant!

Thinking of this, Gu Yanyue's eyes naturally became sharper. She stared at Gu Yanrou, and even made Gu Yanrou feel a little uncomfortable.

She wondered in her heart, could it be that this little bitch Gu Yanyue discovered something?

Gu Yanyue didn't say anything, but just gave her personal maid a look, then took the soup spoon and tasted it.

The things made by Gu Yanrou look good, but this thing was a complete mess by her. It was a waste of such a good recipe. It turned out to be a complete mess.

"Sister, your cooking is very good and tastes good, but is there something missing in the soup, or did you make a mistake in any step?" Gu Yanyue spoke softly, and then pushed the soup to Yuwen Ran. Yuwen Ran took a sip and felt that the taste was similar to the dumplings made by Gu Yanyue, but also very different.

"The competition is about integrity. It's boring if my sister does this." Gu Yanyue put down the soup spoon and looked at Gu Yanrou.

"What do you mean, sister?" Gu Yanrou was a little panicked. Although the soup was indeed made by her, the recipe was not hers. According to what Gu Yanyue said just now, she was cheating.

"It's nothing interesting. I just don't know which careless cook told my sister that she was wrong, or my sister couldn't remember and made a mistake. This soup is nothing like this." Gu Yanyue's tone was calm, but in just a few words she revealed that Gu Yanrou had cheated. Immediately, the people around her started to talk in a low voice.

"I have some minor conflicts with my sister, but there is no need for her to frame me like this, right?" Gu Yanrou looked up.

With just this simple sentence, she explained that Gu Yanyue was framing her, and also hinted that Gu Yanyue was petty and was talking nonsense in front of everyone just because she had a small conflict with her sister.

"Of course I will only tell you when I have evidence, otherwise I won't tell you." Gu Yanyue spoke, and then ordered Liu Mei to bring in a little palace maid. The little palace maid was fifteen or sixteen years old, very small, and she was a little flustered when she saw Gu Yanrou.

"May I have your name."

"My name is Mingyue."

"Tell me, what did you see?"

Gu Yanrou looked at Mingyue, and she had no idea. She just warned Mingyue with her eyes, but then she felt something was wrong. "Mingyue, think about it first."

"You don't have to be afraid. The emperor is here. Just say whatever you want." Gu Yanyue brought up Yu Wenran at the right time.

Yu Wenran also cooperated, "Just what you said."

With permission, Mingyue told what Gu Yanrou had done these days, including the fact that she got the recipe at the restaurant.

Gu Yanrou was usually spoiled and would either beat or scold her servants. These servants had no loyalty to her at all. Now that they had the support of the emperor and the queen, they naturally told her everything.

"You're just talking nonsense!" Gu Yanrou yelled, then rushed down to slap Mingyue, but was stopped by Gu Yanyue.

"Sister, why are you so angry? It's just what a little palace maid said. Could it be that she revealed your secret?" Gu Yanyue smiled and then grabbed Gu Yanrou's hand. "Sister, you went to the restaurant today. I know it very well. Don't talk nonsense. Do you want me to tell you where you went?"

Gu Yanyue smiled gently, her tone was soft and calm, but her eyes were scary. This contrast made Gu Yanrou feel a little guilty.

"Sister, lilies cannot be cooked for so long. It's obvious that you cooked your lilies for a long time. This is totally wrong. Sister, you should ask clearly next time. Don't make something that looks weird and embarrassing!" Gu Yanyue spoke sharply.

Gu Yanrou's face was extremely ugly. Looking at the people around watching the excitement, Gu Yanrou still said stubbornly, "I made this soup. I know how to make it. Do you dare to listen, sister?"

Gu Yanyue raised her eyebrows and turned around to sit down. She wanted to see how much the traitors in this restaurant had revealed. "Sister, please tell me. I'd like to hear the details."
