This is not the case in the original plot.
The heroine was reborn as a lowly cook in Concubine Shu's small kitchen, where she lived a life of being bullied and humiliated at will.
But the heroine won the favor of Concubine Shu by relying on her own skills and exquisite inspiration inspired by modern times to innovate in dishes.
Since then, he has been valued and his status has risen steadily, and he has become the famous Meng Shangshi in the palace.
Yu Huan gasped. It seemed like she had interrupted the heroine's path to promotion. In the palace, there were still opportunities for promotion. In her eldest princess's mansion, no matter how well she did, she would only be a cook.
Yu Huan asked Yangyang to call people over.
Meng Huaping knelt down when she saw her and asked nervously if the food today was not to her taste.
Yu Huan didn't have the habit of asking people to kneel down when talking to her, so he asked her to stand up and asked her if she still wanted to return to the palace.
She originally thought it was just a discussion about the direction of life development, but Meng Huaping looked at her silently and suddenly her eyes became red.
"Is it because the food today is too strong and the princess doesn't like it? Princess, I will pay attention and change it when I get back. Please don't send me back..."
"Why are you like this..." This was a reaction Yu Huan did not expect.
Meng Huaping lowered her head and recounted everything she had experienced in the palace, choking with sobs: "... Princess, you don't know, but the people in the palace are all desperately trying to get ahead, they have no humanity at all, false accusations, beatings, and abuse are all commonplace..."
"I used to think that everyone in the world was like this, living in a muddle-headed way. But after arriving at the Princess's residence, I realized that servants can also get along and help each other... The Princess is kind and generous, and she often gives me snacks and money as rewards..."
Yangyang, who was standing next to her, teased her, "The princess gifted her a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes last time. Sister Huaping looked at it all night and couldn't bear to eat a single bite. After daybreak, she wrapped it up and asked someone to bring it to her mother."
Having said that, Yu Huan couldn't bear to push her back into that fire pit, not to mention that the dishes cooked by the heroine were indeed the taste she missed.
She finally asked, "I've seen that you have a strong character. If you can return to the palace, you will definitely have a good life. But in my Princess's mansion, there is no hope."
Meng Huaping immediately knelt down and bowed to her: "Being able to stay here is already Huaping's greatest blessing."
At this point, Yu Huan stopped talking and returned to her original temper, calling out to Shu Tong, "Quick, go to the kitchen and ask them to make osmanthus crispy cakes. This princess will not allow anyone to have never tasted osmanthus crispy cakes!"
Everyone around her was amused and laughed so hard that they were shaking with laughter.
Meng Huaping looked up at her, and tears began to flow as she looked at her.

As for Lu Qingyan, he was in the sweet stage of being obsessed with love, and he ignored everything his father said.
As time went by, Old Man Lu became somewhat numb, but he was unwilling to let him degenerate like this, so he struggled desperately and carried out the patriarch of the family.
Who is the patriarch? He is the one who led the Lu family into officialdom.
It was his humble origins, his unflinching dedication to the imperial examinations, that laid the foundation for the Lu family's present state. It was also he who often encouraged the younger members of the clan, advising them to aim high and avoid petty gains...
Father Lu trusted the patriarch's character and morals. Inviting him over would surely convince Lu Qingyan to turn back from his ways.
The two of them had agreed on this beforehand.
But on the day of the meeting, the clan leader patted Lu Qingyan on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You are a child with great fortune. You really must cherish it."
Lu Qingyan's expression turned from gloomy to bright. He bowed to the clan leader and praised him for his good vision.
The clan leader's rebellion caught Old Man Lu off guard. He questioned, "Didn't you say we shouldn't be greedy for petty gains..."
"Is this Xiaoli?" The clan leader pounded the ground with his cane and declared righteously, "This is the eldest princess!"
Old Man Lu felt choked up, while Lu Qingyan smiled like a flower.
It turns out it's not that I'm not greedy, it's just that the profit isn't big enough...
Before leaving, the clan leader encouraged the younger generation as usual: "The eldest princess is in her prime, full of vigor and ambition. Although she is kind to you now, she can easily change her mind. It is safer to obtain a status early."
Although Lu Qingyan did not like the clan leader's implication that he would be easily abandoned, he still listened to it in the end.
On the bed, he kissed the princess's neck, rubbing her tenderly, and asked softly, "Princess, can I be your consort?"
"Of course." Yu Huan held his face and said, "After the New Year, I will ask the emperor for an imperial decree to grant us marriage."
Without any hesitation, and even agreed on a time...
Lu Qingyan's Adam's apple rolled, his breathing became rapid, and his mind and eyes were filled with this person.
The princess treats him better than any other loving person in the world. What else is there to doubt?
Yu Huan closed his eyes. Lu Qingyan would discover the truth before that, so it was something that would never happen. He just said it casually to cheer him up.
After that, he would cut all ties and reunite with the heroine.
Yu Huan gently stroked his eyes with her fingertips, she really couldn't bear to part with this face.
The corners of Lu Qingyan's eyes turned redder when she touched him, which was even more erotic. He panted lightly and looked up at her.
Defeated by her affectionate eyes.
