In front of the palace, Yu Jinshu bowed to the Empress Dowager and said, "I wish the Empress Dowager a life as long as the Southern Mountains and a thousand years of life!
The Queen Mother looked at the palace maid. She seemed to be taller than the other maids, with a good figure and a more outstanding temperament. But she didn't know what her face looked like.
"Yu Jinshu, take off the white veil on your face and let's see."
Yu Jinshu raised her hand to take off the white veil, but did not look up.
The Queen Mother continued, "Lift your face up."
She has been obsessed with beautiful women lately.
Yu Jinshu slowly raised his face.
Suddenly there were bursts of exclamations in the hall.
"To think there is such a beautiful palace maid."
"She's so beautiful, it's a pity to let her be a palace maid."
The masters of each palace looked at Yu Jinshu's face and felt jealous.
What's more, some people even want to destroy this face.
Especially Yu Meilin, she couldn't believe her eyes. Is this still her half-sister Yu Jinshu?
In the past, I always thought that Yu Jinshu had a very good foundation and beautiful bones, so I joined forces with my mother to bully her at home. I didn't let her eat well or wear good clothes. I always made her do rough work and was very stingy with her salary, which made her look ordinary.
But I never thought that Yu Jinshu was so well-fed in the imperial kitchen.
But why did Yirong always say that Yu Jinshu looked so dirty? Was he doing it on purpose?
It seems that she underestimated this half-sister, who turned out to be such a scheming person.
If I had known this would happen, I should have kept her by my side and held her tightly.
The Queen Mother looked at Yu Jinshu in astonishment. "When did such a beauty appear in the palace? You must have been selected through a selection. Why weren't you chosen then?"
Yu Jinshu said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I caught a cold at the time, so I was not selected."
At this time, Yu Meilin could hardly sit still. Judging from the Empress Dowager's expression, she seemed to have taken a liking to Yu Jinshu.
Yu Jinshu caught a cold at the time, but it was she who did it.
The Queen Mother nodded: "I see! Then whose daughter are you?"
Yu Jinshu said, "A concubine's daughter from the An Ning Marquis's mansion."
Anning Earl Yu Hengqing and his wife Zhang stood up immediately.
Yu Hengqing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Jinshu is my beloved daughter."
When Yu Jinnu heard the word "beloved daughter", she felt like vomiting. If she was a beloved daughter, why had she been bullied by Yu Meilin since she was a child?
When Yu Meilian heard the word "beloved daughter", she became very angry and glared at her father, thinking that her father wanted to curry favor with Yu Jinshu because he saw that Yu Jinshu had gained power.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly: "So she is the daughter of Earl An Ning, no wonder she has such an extraordinary demeanor."
Emperor Pu Kun spoke, pointing to the food on the table and asking Yu Jinshu, "Where did you learn to make these dishes?"
Even with the stunning beauty, he remained unmoved and was only interested in the food made by Yu Jinshu.
Yu Jinshu looked at the emperor with a calm expression, "Your Majesty, I used to love cooking at home. Later, I was fortunate enough to work in the imperial kitchen. Watching the chef cook every day gave me some inspiration."
Pu Kun nodded: "It seems that he is a smart and clever person."
As soon as these words were spoken, the masters of each palace couldn't help but worry, fearing that the emperor would take a fancy to Yu Jinshu.
This is the first time Yu Jinshu meets the male protagonist Pu Kun.
The book says that Emperor Pu Kun has a tall and strong figure, a pair of slender eyes under his sword-like eyebrows that are deep and bright, a high nose bridge, and sexy lips. He looks like a creature made in heaven. He is gentle and affectionate when he smiles, and cold and intimidating when he is serious.
The real person is exactly the same as what is described in the book, and it is pleasing to the eye.
Yu Jinshu only glanced at the emperor and then lowered his brows.
The Empress Dowager thought that the beauty Su Danxue, who was recruited from the people last time, did not catch the Emperor's eye. That day, the Emperor just sat with Su Danxue, ate a few bites of food casually, and left.
She thought that since it was rare for the emperor to praise a palace maid, she might as well let the maid give it a try and see if she could catch the emperor's eye.
She smiled and said, "Since you are such a clever person, from now on you will be responsible for the emperor's meals."
When these words were spoken, the masters of all the palaces were stunned again.
Yu Jinshu didn't expect that she was so lucky. The empress dowager took a liking to her at first sight and asked her to cook meals for the emperor.
"However..." The Empress Dowager's expression turned serious again. "However, the Emperor has been very busy with government affairs lately and always eats after mealtime. From now on, since the Emperor's meals have been entrusted to you, you will monitor the Emperor's mealtimes and make sure he doesn't go hungry."
Yu Jinshu bowed: "Yes, Queen Mother."
The emperor didn't think much about it, he just thought that his mother must be worried about his health.
The Queen Mother asked Yu Jinshu to leave.
When Yu Jinshu walked out of the hall, An Ning Earl Yu Hengqing called her in a low voice.
"Jinshu, Jinshu."
Yu Jinshu acted as if he didn't hear anything, didn't even look at his father, and just walked away.
Yu Hengqing's expression changed immediately and he exchanged glances with his wife.
Madam Zhang whispered, "I'm afraid we've raised her in vain."
When Yu Jinshu heard this, she thought to herself, did they ever raise her?
She was born in the An Ning Marquis's Mansion. When she was little, she worked in the mansion like a maid. She didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear. Was she ever raised?
I’m afraid they are not as good as the strong cats and dogs in the mansion!
Aunt Li took Yu Jinshu back to the imperial kitchen and kept telling Yu Jinshu about her own achievements along the way.
This means that when you go to see the emperor, you have to think about her.
Yu Jinshu naturally had to agree. After all, she still had to stay in the imperial kitchen and rely on Aunt Li.
Otherwise, if she offended Aunt Li, she would suffer the consequences of any bad things Aunt Li did to her.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Yu Jinshu specially prepared meals for the emperor, and this was big news in the palace.
In order to allow Yu Jinshu to serve the emperor well and win the emperor's favor, Aunt Li specially arranged a separate room for Yu Jinshu to live in.
Yirong was so angry about this that she cried for several days.
Perhaps the Empress Dowager told everyone that the Emperor did not eat at the right time, so the Emperor has been eating at mealtime these days.
The meals cooked by Yu Jinshu were always eaten up when they were delivered to the guests.
If nothing went wrong with the emperor, Yu Jinshu would have had no chance to see him, after all, it was not her who delivered meals to the emperor.
Besides, the emperor doesn't seem to be a lustful person. She is so beautiful, but in the emperor's eyes, she still doesn't spark any sparks.
Fortunately, after waiting for a few days, the emperor started to eat at irregular times again due to his busy government affairs.
The Queen Mother said that she must ensure that the Emperor eats on time, otherwise it will be her responsibility.
If you fail to serve the emperor well, you will be held responsible and may even face the death penalty.
Yu Jinshu thought this was a good opportunity.
That evening, Yu Jinshu prepared dinner and went to the Zhenghe Palace in the front hall with the eunuch who was delivering the meal.
On weekdays, the emperor lived and ate in Zhenghe Palace.
When he arrived at the Zhenghe Palace, the emperor did not eat in his usual place, but was discussing matters with several ministers in the conference room.
Seeing that the food was getting cold and the emperor had not yet arrived, Yu Jinshu simply stood up and asked the palace guards.
The guard was extremely impatient: "The emperor is discussing something with several others, you are not allowed to go."
