Mumu nodded. "I heard that she was favored for a while, but quickly fell out of favor because of Consort Jia."
"Consort Jia?" Why is another person appearing?
Mumu: "She is the mother of the Sixth Prince. She served the late Emperor when he was in the Eastern Palace, but at that time she was of low status and did not hold a high position in the palace."
Su Chen shook her head. Meeting him was a complete mess, the relationships between the characters were too chaotic. Let the things of the previous generation stay in the previous generation.
Sure enough, someone came to clean after a while, but the interior furnishings remained unchanged.
After dusting, cleaning, and changing the bedding, the room's color scheme immediately became much brighter.
Su Chen couldn't wait to pounce on the bed, which was padded with several layers of cotton mattresses.
So soft! Much better than the hard bed in the cold palace!
Knowing that Jade Feather Palace had a bird odor, the palace servants specially brought sandalwood to perfume the entire palace.
Su Chen dislikes fragrances, or more precisely, perfumes, but she finds sandalwood pleasant. Is it true that natural scents smell better than those processed with chemical alcohol?
Every day, palace servants who raised pigeons would come to feed them, so Su Chen didn't have to worry about these trivial matters.
He just likes to play with pigeons every day.
The first couple of days ago, he ignored her completely, but later he probably got annoyed by her. Now he doesn't move when he sees her and just lets her do whatever she wants.
Su Chen felt that her life in the palace was much more fulfilling after participating in feeding the pigeons every day.
At her request, Mumu also asked the palace servants to search far and wide for folk tales.
Aside from some rare, hidden books, Su Chen was quite pleased with a short record of love and relationships.
"A Brief Account of Love" is full of melodramatic love stories, but the author claims that the stories are based on real events.
Each story ends with a note indicating the year, month, and person who was involved in the event.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this herb gatherer ascended to the celestial realm after meeting a fairy who gave him medicine? He even abandoned his wife with whom he had sworn eternal love! Is he even human? Huh?" Su Chen was furious after finishing the exam.
Seeing Su Chen so angry, Mu Mu put down the teapot and laughed, "Your Highness, this herb gatherer's wife is so ugly, while the herb gatherer is so handsome. They're not a good match at all. Besides, it was mentioned earlier that this herb gatherer is a banished immortal, demoted to the mortal realm to travel. The fairy even advised him not to despise his wife's ugliness, saying it was a trial for him."
"What training or what! He's utterly heartless! Does becoming an immortal mean severing all ties? I bet he never loved his wife, but he has ulterior motives towards the fairy!" Su Chen clenched her fist. "If I were the herb gatherer's wife, I would definitely drag him away and lock him up so he wouldn't ascend!"
"Haha, Your Majesty is so cruel." Mu Mu was amused and laughed so hard she almost fell over.
"Emotions in this world cannot be faked. And if someone has let go of someone in their heart, no one else can force their way out. I only know that a lover should be a one-person-one-lifetime couple."
...
On the palace wall, a man murmured: "One life, one generation, one pair of lovers... is that it?"
...
Su Chen couldn't stay idle all day; she even went to the imperial kitchen to ask the cooks to teach her how to make pastries.
The cook was terrified and only calmed down after Su Chen stuffed a silver ingot into her mouth.
After a while.
The cook cried out, "Your Highness! How could you forget the steps again? Look, these pastries are all burnt! They can't be eaten!"
Su Chen scratched his head. "Hehe, I'll try again."
"Your Highness, please, I'll cook for you, but please don't burn the kitchen down!" The cook was terrified.
