Chapter 81 The Secret Guards Make Their Move! The Young General is Kicked Away
Lu Ping immediately understood, stepped forward, and stared at him: "General Meng, you should go back."
"How dare you, a mere servant girl..."
bump!
Lu Ping is no delicate young girl; she is a secret guard of the Crown Prince's residence!
The reason the Crown Prince placed her by Meng Yanzhi's side was so that she could protect Meng Yanzhi properly.
This kick sent Meng Anfeng flying, landing heavily on the ground.
The moment Meng Anfeng landed, he couldn't believe that Lu Ping, such a seemingly frail girl, would have such great abilities.
Lu Ping strode forward, stretched her joints, frowned at Meng Anfeng, and said coldly, "If I hadn't gone out on business that day, how could you have beaten Mingchu to this state? You despicable scoundrel, you dare to say that my Mingchu seduced you? Don't you know who you are? You're not worthy!"
"You! How dare you speak like that!"
"You're nothing but a servant!"
Meng Anfeng's eyebrows furrowed tightly, then he gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Ping.
“I am a servant, but I am not your servant. I am a servant of the Crown Prince’s residence.”
"Even a servant in the Crown Prince's residence can be above you. You're nothing but a bastard who uses his status to bully others!"
Lu Ping doesn't usually use her mouth much, but when she does, it's absolutely extraordinary, even more so than Lu Huan's!
Meng Anfeng finally understood where Meng Yanzhi was relying on. He frowned and looked at Meng Yanzhi: "Are you really going to steal Xian'er's marriage? Do you even have the demeanor of an older sister?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping scoffed dismissively and said, "Alright, stop daydreaming. Regardless of whether the future Crown Princess is the eldest daughter of the Meng family, she will absolutely not be the second daughter of the Meng family. My Crown Prince has never had such intentions!"
After saying that, he personally threw both of them out, looking at them with obvious disgust, as if he was afraid of getting his clothes dirty.
Seeing Lu Ping's clean and efficient demeanor, Meng Yanzhi was very satisfied. She said with a smile, "If I had known you were this capable, I should have been even harsher on Meng Anxian just now!"
"Miss, you should think about what to eat tonight. We love your cooking the most; it tastes absolutely amazing." Lu Ping has now begun to admire Meng Yanzhi, mainly because Meng Yanzhi's cooking is just too delicious.
To win someone over, you must first win their stomach!
Not only Lu Ping couldn't forget him, but Xiao Xingyuan in the palace also couldn't forget him.
He had initially thought it was just a bowl of noodles and a roasted sweet potato, nothing special, but once back in the palace, he just couldn't find that taste, which made him extremely irritable.
Consort Wang sighed helplessly at his irritable state, then asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"These cooks are really terrible at cooking!" Xiao Xingyuan was so angry that he threw down his chopsticks.
Seeing this, Consort Wang immediately beamed with joy: "He's just a cook, not worth Your Majesty's anger. If Your Majesty doesn't like him, then may I recommend someone to you?"
"You know the cook?" Xiao Xingyuan asked curiously, looking at Consort Wang.
Consort Wang smiled and then said, "I don't know the cook, but I do know Miss Meng. Her cooking is really delicious. I've already eaten it, and it's even better than the Imperial Kitchen. Your Majesty, isn't the Imperial Kitchen recruiting female officials? Why don't we give this position to her?"
Xiao Xingyuan never expected that, by sheer chance, Consort Wang would recommend Meng Yanzhi.
"Is it really as good as you say?" Xiao Xingyuan frowned and looked at Consort Wang: "An unmarried young girl, can she cook?"
"Your Majesty, I can assure you, her cooking is truly delicious." Consort Wang sighed, "Your Majesty, the young lady is not favored in the Meng family, it's so pitiful. Wouldn't it be better for her to enter the palace as a lady-in-waiting and support herself with her own salary?"
That's great!
However, Xiao Xingyuan certainly wouldn't show any good intentions on the surface. He would pretend to be very unwilling. Finally, after a lot of coaxing and pleading from Consort Wang, he reluctantly agreed.
The hidden guard, watching Xiao Xingyuan's behavior from the shadows, could no longer bear it. He knew Xiao Xingyuan was cunning, but he never expected him to be so cunning and hypocritical!
Soon, Consort Wang told Zhao Bailu the news and asked her to bring Meng Yanzhi back to prepare for her entry into the palace.
Upon learning this news, Zhao Bailu immediately sought out Meng Yanzhi.
"Yanzhi, the palace has issued an order allowing you to enter the palace as a lady-in-waiting in the Imperial Kitchen. But have you really thought this through?" Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi with some concern: "Entering the palace is like entering a deep sea, and the Imperial Kitchen is the place with the most troubles. You...you really want to go?"
Before Meng Yanzhi could answer, Zhao Bailu spoke up, "Actually, I know you don't want to go to the Imperial Kitchen, you just want to leave the Meng family. If you're willing, you can come and stay at my house. If they dare to come looking for you, I'll kick them all out, okay?"
Seeing Zhao Bailu's incessant chatter, Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but smile. She put her arm around Zhao Bailu and said with a smile, "I really love cooking, and I really want to be a female official. I want to support myself with my own abilities!"
"Support yourself? Rely on yourself?" Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi in confusion, then immediately slapped her thigh: "Okay, what you said is so true, Yanzhi, I really feel that you are full of strength. How are you so amazing?"
In both her previous and current lives, Meng Yanzhi was disliked by others. This was the first time she had been appreciated so much, so she was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Seeing the genuine affection in Zhao Bailu's eyes, she smiled and said shyly, "I'm not as good as you say. I just know how to cook."
"Let me tell you, the palace has a strict hierarchy. You just went to the imperial kitchen, and they will definitely bully you!"
"You should bring plenty of loose silver with you to bribe officials and clerks. Don't let yourself suffer any losses, understand?"
Zhao Bailu took out a bag and handed it to Meng Yanzhi. It was full of loose silver coins, showing that she was genuinely looking out for her.
Looking at the money pouch, Meng Yanzhi felt a pang of sadness; she had never felt so cared for before.
"Thank you, Bailu, thank you so much!"
Meng Yanzhi suddenly choked up and hugged Zhao Bailu tightly.
