Chapter Ten Chicken Essence
"You brat, where have you been? I haven't seen you all day." Yuanbao stood at the palace gate and saw the little palace maid, who was covered in dirt, finally return. Her face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
It would have been better if I hadn't come back.
"My lord, I didn't mean to. I just entered the palace and got lost." The young palace maid lowered her head, trembling as if she were terrified.
But she was already cursing in her heart. This old eunuch, he was just a bully, how dare he look down on a transmigrator like her.
She's destined to be the female lead.
Now that she's serving the emperor, she's bound to develop a relationship with him, and then she'll play the leading lady and reach the pinnacle of her life.
That's how it's written in novels; she didn't watch hundreds of episodes of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Strategy Guide" for nothing.
However, the old eunuch shattered her expectations.
"Alright, that's enough. Starting today, you'll work in the Imperial Kitchen. You won't need to come back, and you won't get lost anymore."
Yuanbao, her face dark, waved her hand, and two eunuchs immediately covered her mouth and dragged her away, doing so swiftly and decisively.
? ? ?
What's going on? This is completely different from what's written in the novel!
The young palace maid was unwillingly led away by the eunuch with her mouth covered, and was thrown into the imperial kitchen as he ran.
But the imperial kitchen was already empty that night; the head maid and eunuchs were not there, and the young palace maid was truly frightened.
The palace was never short of ghost stories; basically, you'd find someone hanged themselves every few steps, and someone drowned themselves in a well every five.
Just then, it started raining, and a torrential downpour poured over her head, soaking her to the bone in no time.
She quickly crept into the kitchen, found a corner to squat in, but suddenly felt something struggling beside her.
In an instant, the little palace maid thought of the three great immortals of the Yue family, but then a sound suddenly came from the silent space: "Coo coo coo".
Is it a live chicken?
The young palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and wrung out her wet hair to search for the chicken.
She also had a tinderbox on her, and she didn't know how it happened. The imperial kitchen didn't keep a fire burning at night, but luckily she had good night vision and recognized that the one locked in the pig cage was the chicken spirit that had escaped during the day.
"Holy crap, chicken essence, you got caught like this?" The little palace maid opened the cage, looked at the chicken inside intently trying to open it with its beak, and laughed.
Hehehe.
"You're the one who's fucking chicken essence." The system loosened the cage's latch and cursed.
However, he regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.
Damn, I couldn't resist!
"My god, are you really a spirit?"
"What? You're allowed to time travel, but I'm not allowed to become a spirit? Open it now, I need to get out!" The system, with its cocky eyes, stared at the little palace maid, standing straight and looking quite imposing.
"If I release you, what benefits will you give me?" The little palace maid's eyes darted around.
Is this her secret weapon?
Good heavens, she definitely has the female lead's script.
"Then let me out, and I'll tell you who your official partner is." The system didn't expect that young girls these days were so hard to fool.
The little palace maid waved her hand: "Oh dear, do you need to tell me that? I've traveled to the palace, so my official partner is definitely the emperor."
The system sneered: "If you don't want to live anymore, you can try seducing the emperor." Let's see if His Majesty will crush you in a heartbeat.
Upon hearing this, the young palace maid's face stiffened. She recalled the brutal young man she had encountered that morning. Although he was very handsome, his cruelty was also evident.
Suddenly I felt a little scared. Could it be that she wasn't a time traveler who came to be the empress?
