After Su Wanti and her mother escaped from home, they left their hometown and did not dare to go back, so they could only become refugees without identity.
The Imperial Household Department of the palace came to select palace maids, and she was originally not qualified to apply. Fortunately, her mother bribed the eunuch with one hundred taels of silver she had stolen from home, and finally allowed her to replace someone else and enter the palace.
The person she replaced was called Su Shuang, also from the suburbs of Beijing.
Before entering the palace, Miss Su Shuang met with her and handed her identity documents, such as her photo, to Su Wanti. She also told Su Wanti in detail about her family situation and asked Su Wanti to write it down so that if anyone asked about it in the future, she could answer them one by one and avoid making any mistakes.
Miss Su Shuang was also a miserable person. Her parents died one after another when she was ten years old.
However, Su Wanti could feel that her parents loved her very much from her expressions and words when she recalled her parents.
Su Shuang also talked about some things about her parents, and Su Wanti wrote them all down.
At this moment, in Su Wanti's mind, the original owner's mother and Su Shuang's mother seemed to be the same person...
They are all gentle, kind, hardworking, capable and loving mothers who love their daughters.
Su Wanti's eyes were slightly gloomy, and her voice was faint, full of longing for someone.
"Your Majesty, I have said that my family was not kind to me. But my mother loved me very much, but she is gone now."
What Su Wanti said was correct. After the original owner’s mother sent the original owner to the palace gate, she turned around and left.
Su Shuang's mother has passed away for many years, or it can be said that she has left.
The corners of Su Wanti's eyes were red, the tip of her nose was also a little red, and a layer of gloom covered her beautiful little face.
She rarely looked sad, and seeing her sad expression, Leng Hong also calmed down, looked at her seriously and listened to her.
Su Wanti lowered her eyes and continued, "When I was born, I was almost drowned by the elders in my family because I was a girl... It was my mother who desperately protected me. Since then, she has watched me very closely and never let me out of her sight."
"Because she gave birth to a daughter, my mother wasn't treated well. She was always hungry. Without enough food, she couldn't produce milk, and without milk, I was hungry all day... My mother said that I was always crying, and she held me day and night, comforting me. During the day, she would borrow food from the neighbors, grind it into powder, boil it with water, and feed it to me."
"Later, a neighbor's goat gave birth to a calf. My mother took me to that neighbor's house and asked them to give me some goat's milk every day. I was raised..."
Having said that, Su Wanti sighed softly, with mist in her eyes, looking very pitiful.
Leng Hong hugged her shoulders lovingly.
Su Wanti curled her lips and continued:
"When I was little, I had to do a lot of work: chopping wood, mowing grass, cooking, washing clothes... My mother always did more than she could do. She wanted to do more so I could do less and have a rest."
"My mother has a skillful hand and can weave quickly and well, but the cloth she weaves cannot make clothes for me. I have to sell the cloth and give the money back to my family."
"Then, every time my mother went to the cloth shop to sell cloth, she would ask the cloth shop owner for some scraps of cloth, bring them back and piece them together to make clothes for me."
"Because I'm a girl, my mother would always embroider small, simple patterns on my clothes. Colored silk threads are very expensive, and we don't have money to buy them, so my mother dyed white cotton thread with flower juice and used this dyed thread to embroider small patterns on my clothes."
"My mother also found a way to teach me how to read. She secretly sent me to the study to listen to the teacher's lectures under the window..."
Recalling this, Su Wanti couldn't help but smile, her eyes sparkling.
"When I was little, I loved to play. Sometimes I would get distracted while listening, and then the teacher's voice would get louder. Now that I think about it, the teacher must have known that I was eavesdropping. My mother often washed clothes for the teacher's wife, so I guess he tacitly allowed me to eavesdrop on his lectures..."
Leng Hong was moved and stroked her arm gently.
Su Wanti smiled, sniffed, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, although my mother has left me,
But I will always remember her warmth and love."
She placed her small hand on her chest and said solemnly, "My mother's love for me is my inner support and the driving force for my survival. As soon as I entered the palace, I was assigned to the greenhouse. The work there is complicated and tiring, but I am not afraid."
"But that day, the imperial concubine falsely accused me of stealing the jade bracelet, and I was really scared."
"Before she passed away, my mother told me that as long as I lived, everything would be fine. The Concubine framed me like that, and I was really scared... I was afraid that I wouldn't survive."
Leng Hong's warm lips gently kissed her smooth forehead, "Fortunately, I saved you."
Su Wanti nestled her head in his arms and responded softly, not letting Leng Hong see the slightly twitching corners of her mouth.
At this moment, she was thinking, if you were not the target of this mission, I would definitely slap you in the face!
If you hadn't ordered the original owner to be beaten to death, how could he have been so frightened to death?
Of course, the real culprit is still the imperial concubine. She had the intention to kill the original owner at that time. If Leng Hong had not appeared, the original owner would have been killed by her directly, without even a chance to appeal for justice.
If Leng Hong hadn't come, even if she had been transported to the original owner's body, she would be powerless and unable to escape the fate of being killed by the imperial concubine...
Su Wanti recalled the thrilling moment of that day, sighed softly, touched Leng Hong's thick and strong chest, and said quietly: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise and trusts me, saving my life."
Su Wanti recalled the scene of that day, and so did Leng Hong.
That day, he went to pay his respects to the empress dowager, who told him to favor the virtuous and kind concubines.
At that time, he had not yet resolved his emotional knot and was still angry with the Empress Dowager. After leaving the Cining Palace, he went to see the Imperial Concubine.
Perhaps, this was God's arrangement, allowing him to accidentally meet this beautiful and enchanting woman in the imperial concubine's palace. She was quiet and sensible, which made him feel at ease, but also could arouse people's hearts and arouse their desires.
The scene of that day has been deeply engraved in Leng Hong's memory.
She cried in despair,
She was stripped and exposed to the humiliation of the public,
And those eyes full of grievance and pleading.
Her pity and helplessness touched his heart, making him unable to help but focus on her...
Thinking of this, Leng Hong's eyes were filled with dark colors. He lowered his eyes, touched her little face, and looked at her with pity.
And she tilted her head slightly and gently touched the cleavage on his chin.
Leng Hong laughed.
The two hugged each other for a long time...

From then on, Su Wanti delivered snacks to the Cining Palace every two days.
Leng Hong told her that the Queen Mother liked novel snacks that were not too sweet.
Su Wanti kept it in mind.
She bought a dessert recipe book from another small world from the system, and combined the desserts in that recipe book with the desserts in this small world.
The snacks she makes are all beautiful and novel in appearance, and taste soft and delicious. They are not sweet or greasy and melt in your mouth.
Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager did not allow Su Wanti to enter the Cining Palace, nor did she allow the snacks she made to enter the Cining Palace.
