Ah, you traveled through time too?

"Master, do you want to try it on again now?" Dong Xia looked at his master who was lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking, and could not help but ask.

Su Mei came back to her senses when she heard Dong Xia's voice. She was thinking about all sorts of random things, and her face flushed, looking like a ripe peach, very tempting.

Dong Xia was stunned again when she saw Su Mei like this. How could her mistress be so beautiful? Every time she saw her, she would be immersed in it carelessly.

"Master, please don't be like this anymore. If you continue like this, I will drool." Dongxia said jokingly.

Hearing Dong Xia's words, Su Mei couldn't help herself and burst out laughing: "Dong Xia, we have lived together for so long, why are you always like this?"

Dongxia scratched his head and said with a smile: "Master, you are so beautiful. Every time I see you, I can't help but look at you a few more times."

Su Mei smiled and shook her head: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's take a look at this dress first."

Su Mei stood up and walked to the mirror. Dong Xia helped her put on her clothes. Su Mei in the mirror looked even more beautiful with her delicate makeup and gorgeous clothes. She turned around and nodded with satisfaction.

"This dress is pretty good and fits me well." Su Mei said.

Dong Xia nodded and agreed: "Yes, the master looks good in anything he wears."

Su Mei looked at Dong Xia with a smile, her heart filled with warmth and gratitude. Dong Xia had always been the person she trusted the most. No matter what difficulties she encountered, Dong Xia was always by her side, giving her support and comfort.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and it was Lian Di who walked in. She saw Su Mei trying on new clothes, and said with a smile: "Mei Er, this dress is so beautiful, you are really more beautiful than flowers."

When Su Mei heard Lian Di's praise, a shy smile appeared on her face: "Sister Lian Di, you are too kind."

Lian Di walked forward and looked at Su Mei carefully, her eyes full of admiration: "Mei'er, you are naturally beautiful, and this dress brings out your beauty even more."

Su Mei said gratefully: "Sister Lian Di, what are you doing here today?"

Lian Di nodded, her face becoming a little serious: "Yes, Mei'er. I just came back from the emperor and made some new discoveries."

Su Mei's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "What did you find?"

Lian Di whispered, "After interrogation, the concubine and her confidant finally admitted their crime. They were indeed instructed by outside forces to try to harm you through poison."

After Su Mei heard this, her face turned gloomy: "Who is behind this?"

Lian Di shook her head: "There is no conclusive evidence yet, but we have some clues and are investigating further."

Su Mei took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "Sister Lian Di, we must find out the truth and protect the peace of the harem."

Lian Di nodded: "Yes, Mei'er. We will continue to investigate and will definitely find the mastermind behind this."

A few days later, after further investigation, a breakthrough was finally made. Li Yong ordered the arrest of some people who had close ties with outside forces and conducted strict interrogations. Through these interrogations, more inside stories were gradually revealed.

When Su Mei heard Dong Xia's words, her eyes lit up, and she felt that what Dong Xia said made a lot of sense. She clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Dong Xia, you are right! Why didn't I think of it? In this palace, the emperor is the most important. As long as the emperor agrees, no one dares to object."

Seeing his master so happy, Dongxia also smiled: "Yes, master, the emperor loves you so much now, you just need to tell him, and he will definitely agree."

Su Mei nodded, and she had already made up her mind to ask Li Yong to build a small kitchen. She couldn't wait to try making fried chicken and other delicacies she liked.

That night, Su Mei dressed up carefully and went to the imperial study to see Li Yong. She knew that Li Yong had been very busy with the affairs of the court recently and was in a very heavy mood. She wanted to use this small request to make Li Yong happy and also fulfill her own wish.

Arriving at the door of the imperial study, Su Mei knocked on the door and heard Li Yong's voice from inside: "Come in."

Su Mei pushed open the door and saw Li Yong reviewing memorials at the table with a focused look. She walked over and said softly, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard."

Li Yong raised his head and saw Su Mei coming in. A smile appeared on his face: "Mei'er, why are you here so late? What's the matter?"

Su Mei walked to Li Yong with a smile and gently squeezed his shoulder: "Your Majesty, I have a small request, I hope you can agree to it."

Li Yong put down the memorial in his hand, turned around and looked at Su Mei, and asked gently: "What is your request? As long as it is your request, I will agree to it."

Su Mei showed a shy smile on her face and said, "Your Majesty, I want a small kitchen of my own so I can cook my favorite food myself."

After hearing this, Li Yong laughed out loud, and the sadness on his face disappeared: "Mei'er, you are such a greedy little cat! But of course I agree to this request. I also want to taste the food you cook."

Su Mei's eyes lit up with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely make delicious food for you to taste."

Li Yong patted Su Mei's head lovingly: "Okay, I'll have someone arrange to build a small kitchen right away for your use."

Su Mei was filled with joy and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am so happy."

Li Yong was in a much better mood when he saw Su Mei so happy. He pulled Su Mei to sit down, and the two chatted for a long time until late at night before letting Su Mei go back to the palace to rest.

A few days later, the small kitchen built specifically for Su Mei in the palace was completed. Su Mei couldn't wait to take Dong Xia and Dong Qing to check it out, and found that the kitchen was fully equipped and could fully meet her needs.

Su Mei said happily: "Dongxia, Dongqing, let's make fried chicken today and let the emperor taste it."

Dongxia and Dongqing were also excited to see Su Mei so happy, and expressed their willingness to help. Su Mei guided them in preparing the materials while she personally took part in the preparation, having a great time.

After a while, the fragrant fried chicken finally came out of the pot. Su Mei took a bite and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it tastes really good!"

Dongxia and Dongqing couldn't help but take a bite, with surprise in their eyes: "Master, the fried chicken you make is so delicious!"

Su Mei smiled and said, "Then let's quickly send these to the Imperial Study so that the Emperor can have a taste as well."

Dongxia and Dongqing were busy packing the fried chicken and followed Su Mei to the imperial study. When they arrived at the door of the imperial study, Su Mei asked Dongxia to inform her. When Li Yong heard that Su Mei was here, he immediately let her in.

"Mei'er, you've finished it so quickly? I'd like to see your craftsmanship." Li Yong said with a smile.

Su Mei placed the plate of fried chicken on the table and looked at Li Yong expectantly: "Your Majesty, please try it. This is made by me."

Li Yong picked up a piece of fried chicken, took a bite, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Mei'er, your cooking skills are really good. This fried chicken tastes very good."

Su Mei saw that Li Yong liked it, and her heart was filled with joy: "As long as Your Majesty likes it, I will make more delicious food for you in the future."

Li Yong nodded and said gently: "Mei'er, you are really my lucky star. With you by my side, I feel much better."

After Su Mei heard this, she felt warm in her heart: "Your Majesty, I just want to make you happy and share your worries."

The two of them enjoyed the food and chatted, and the atmosphere became more and more warm. Li Yong felt the warmth and joy brought by Su Mei, and the pressure in his heart was greatly relieved.

As time went by, Su Mei's small kitchen became a place where she, Li Yong and the concubines in the palace shared delicious food. Su Mei won the love of more people with her cooking skills, and her position in the harem became more and more stable.

However, although life has become warm and harmonious, Su Mei still has not forgotten the hidden conspiracy in her heart. She knows that only by staying vigilant at all times can she protect herself and her loved ones in this complicated palace.
