Chapter 1073: Ice Lotus is Lost

Just as the group was walking towards Xuanfu Palace, Song Qingyan saw Lu Xingwan standing aside.

Wanwan is still as lively and active as before. Although this dress makes her look quite quiet, it has also become a burden to her.

Thinking of this, she gently waved to Lu Xingwan beside her, and her tone was extremely gentle: "Wanwan, I will walk slowly with your grandmother and aunts. If you want to walk around the palace, just take Jinxin with you first."

After hearing this, Lu Xingwan's eyes lit up and she nodded excitedly.

"Mother, let Sister Jinxin follow you. I am fine in the palace alone. You have a lot to worry about here, so let Sister Jinxin stay and help you."

Song Qingyan was about to refuse, but then she subconsciously thought, well, since Wanwan is a cultivator, there should be no problem for her to protect herself in this palace.

I don't think she would allow herself to be bullied by others.

Thinking of this, she took back the words that were about to come out of her lips and nodded: "Okay."

Wanwan didn't expect her mother would agree so readily. It seemed that her mother had always been in a laissez-faire state towards her. However, this was the best thing for her.

If Sister Jinxin followed me, I would probably have to walk in this palace in an obedient manner.

But if Sister Jinxin is not here, I can jump around in this palace as I please.

Although this word is not good, it is indeed an accurate description.

Even though it is against the rules, what I am wearing today is also very inappropriate.

But Wanwan is used to freedom after all.

Knowing that Wanwan was always naughty, when they saw the Royal Concubine made such a decision, no one said anything to stop her, but just let her go.

The clothes Wanwan was wearing now were naturally different from the simple clothes she usually wore.

Since the clothes were made by the wife of the old Marquis Dingguo, they were naturally gorgeous and solemn.

In addition, she was wearing the headdress that Wei had sent her.

Gorgeous, it is really gorgeous.

When Wanwan walked, her posture unconsciously became a little straighter.

She was no longer as light and playful as before, but instead her steps became steady and graceful.

The way she dresses makes people dare not underestimate her.

Therefore, along the way, many palace maids and eunuchs easily recognized her.

Seeing her coming, everyone knelt down in fear and said, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness, Princess. May Your Royal Highness live a thousand years and be blessed with good health."

Princess Yong'an was someone that no one in the palace dared to offend, no matter what.

In recent years, Your Majesty has grown old, so he has visited the harem less frequently.

But even so, no one dared to neglect the Imperial Concubine in the slightest.

Firstly, the Royal Concubine was different from other concubines in that she herself had military merits.

Secondly, the Imperial Consort is the biological mother of Princess Yong'an.

Given how much Your Majesty values ​​Princess Yong'an, it seems that as long as Princess Yong'an is around, the Imperial Concubine will never fall out of favor.

When Wanwan first got up and returned to the palace, she was still a little uncomfortable with the etiquette of the palace maids and eunuchs.

But nowadays, it has become commonplace.

She just waved to them slightly and continued walking along the palace road.

She originally wanted to go directly to the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception to see what kind of bustling scene there was.

After all, all the young men and women should have entered the palace.

She still quite liked the way others couldn't recognize her this morning and shouted at her "sincerely".

But then he thought that the clothes he was wearing were too ostentatious.

I'm afraid that even if others don't want to recognize it, they will recognize it anyway.

So as she continued walking forward, she suddenly changed her mind and decided to take a look in the direction of the kitchen.

The food prepared in the Yu kitchen was of course much better than what she had experienced in the immortal world.

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace with even greater interest and headed towards the kitchen.

When she was halfway there and had not yet reached the kitchen, she heard a few sobbing sounds coming from the direction of the kitchen.

Although the sound was vague, Wanwan had excellent hearing after all.

So that sound was particularly abrupt in her ears.

Wanwan couldn't help but quicken her pace, but when she was about to reach the door of the kitchen, she stopped.

She turned around and walked to the wall of the kitchen courtyard.

She wanted to hear what happened in the kitchen.

The Dragon Shadow Guards who were following Princess Yong'an were stunned.

Why does Princess Yong'an like climbing the wall so much?

As expected, Wanwan arrived just in time. Now she was hiding outside the kitchen and could hear the conversation inside the kitchen clearly.

No wonder this man was sobbing.

In the kitchen, not just him, but everyone was in a panic.

The ice lotus that was originally used to make snacks at the palace banquet was lost.

This ice lotus is extremely rare, with only one flower appearing every thousand years, and it grows in extremely cold places.

Because it carries a unique aura, it is considered an excellent medicine in this world.

Making it into a snack is really a luxury.

Among the mortals, I am afraid that only the emperor who is high above can use it.

Perhaps because of his importance to Wanwan, the Emperor of Great Chu made an exception this time and took out the only remaining ice lotus.

Moreover, he specifically told the Yu Kitchen that the ice lotus would be used to make ice lotus cake, which would be the finale dessert of the entire palace banquet.

"Your Majesty has repeatedly instructed us to preserve this Ice Lotus carefully."

"There is only this one ice lotus left in the world. It was supposed to shine at the princess's banquet today, but now it's lost. If His Majesty blames us, we in the kitchen will have our heads chopped off."

The person who spoke should be a senior eunuch. There was a hint of anxiety in his voice. The sharp voice echoed in the kitchen, making people frown.

The next person to speak was a maid.

Her words were full of respect for Princess Yong'an: "Let's not talk about the head on our necks. Princess Yong'an is a person who was blessed by God for our Great Chu State and was born into the world with auspicious signs."

"Now that the princess has returned from her travels, His Majesty has agreed to use this ice lotus as an ingredient to make ice lotus cake. But if we can't make it now, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the princess?"

"If this angers God and brings disaster upon us, we will be doomed to death!"

This nun was quite a pious person. Every evening through the dim light, one could see that she was talking with her hands clasped together.

Looking up into the air, I prayed silently.

Wanwan heard what these people were saying outside the window and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, feeling a little amused.
