Novel website. Linghu Lan: "Pfft!"
You just finished targeting your father, and now you're even targeting your son.
Are foodies' thought processes really this powerful?
The imperial chef's face stiffened for a moment. He didn't know why the question was asked, but he still answered cautiously, "My son works in the palace kitchen and is already married."
A hint of disappointment flashed across her pale face as she opened her mouth to ask, "Then do you have a grandson..."
"Pfft!" Linghu Lan was completely speechless!
You, you, you, you not only care about your son, but also your grandson. The world of foodies is beyond the comprehension of a skinny woman like me.
#Hehe System: You talk like you've never been fat, *winks and smirks*
Linghu Lan: Hehe, those who have never been fat or thin have no right to judge me. #
Linghu Lan immediately turned to cover Li Bai's mouth and ordered those around her, "Reward the imperial chef with one hundred taels of silver and send him out of the palace properly."
"yes!"
The imperial chef left, completely bewildered. This trip to the palace today was rather inexplicable! However, he was extremely excited; this experience was something he could brag about for the rest of his life.
Linghu Lan released Li Bai's mouth and glared at her angrily.
Pear Blossom flinched, her round face and wet eyes like those of an adorable little deer. "This servant only wanted to share Your Highness's burdens."
The voice grew softer and softer, filled with endless grievance.
"Pfft!" Linghu Lan felt as if she had been shot in the chest again. "Your way of sharing my burdens is really quite unique."
...
And so, Li Bai remained in the palace. Her title of Lady of the Palace had been revoked, and everyone called her Miss Li.
Her days in the palace consisted of nothing but eating, catching cats and dogs, and living a leisurely and carefree life.
Linghu Lan didn't understand why Li Bai only saw food after she put on the marriage talisman. After thinking about it, she figured it was probably because Li Bai was a late bloomer and even her first love came later than others, so she couldn't test her marriage prospects.
A year later, Linghu Lan put another marriage charm on Li Bai, but there was still no result.
Linghu Lan was extremely puzzled and called the system: "Is your talisman malfunctioning?"
The system remained silent for a while before replying, "Perhaps her marriage is hidden quite deeply."
Linghu Lan: "...Could you be any more Zen?"
The same thing happened the following year when it was posted again.
By the third year, Linghu Lan had given up hope. She thought she might have to raise Li Bai until he was old, or if all else failed, she would just pack him up and send him away.
At this time, Li Bai was a beautiful fourteen-year-old girl. Apart from becoming more picky about food, she had not changed at all. She still had a carefree attitude and harbored deep resentment towards Linghu Lan for putting talismans on her every year, because all she could see was food!
"Your Majesty, do you expect me to recite the names of dishes to you every year?" Pear White was completely baffled.
Linghu Lan: "..."
I can tell from your voice, you must have been a recipe in your past life.
Later, Linghu Lan let things take their course and stopped interfering. Marriage is something that will happen naturally when the time is right.
During this period, a major event also occurred.
That was the year after the Empress Dowager's death anniversary. Taking the opportunity, the Emperor posthumously honored the late Empress with the title of Empress Xian Gong Yi De Chun Wen, and also made her Empress Dowager.
This contradicted the late emperor's wishes, immediately prompting a petition from the court officials to dissuade him.
Jun Zhe, however, remained steadfast, rejecting all the memorials submitted and making a final decision on the matter with an extremely forceful and unquestionable attitude.
