After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

"What a beautiful girl." Li Lan looked at Xu Shengsheng, who was kneeling with her head lowered, and praised her involuntarily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." He felt like he had fallen into a honey pot and was totally unable to discern the tone of voice in Li Lan's voice when she said this.

Xu Shengsheng's lips curled up, and she was in a good mood.

Perhaps because the Imperial Concubine just mingled with the noble ladies without any airs, Xu Shengsheng got a little carried away. She raised her head and looked directly at Li Lan's delicate face: "I have admired the Imperial Concubine's name for a long time. It is my great honor to see the Imperial Concubine's true appearance with my own eyes today."

Li Lan listened to Xu Shengsheng's flattering words, and she said again: "You are so sweet."

Xu Shengsheng thought her trick had worked, and she went on to praise him, "It's not that I'm sweet-mouthed, it's that the imperial concubine is so charming."

Xu Shengsheng looked at Li Lan and gave her a sweet and warm smile.

She has a halo around her, and Li Lan will definitely have a good impression of her.

I was expecting Li Lan to continue praising me, but unexpectedly, Li Lan suddenly lowered his voice.

"Who allowed you to look me in the eye like that?"

Xu Shengsheng's grin suddenly froze on her face.

She didn't understand why Li Lan suddenly got angry.

Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Li, who was standing by, held her back with great insight and made her prostrate herself on the ground and kowtow.

Xu Shengsheng looked at Mrs. Li's mouth shape and then realized that she was wrong.

Perhaps he was used to being spoiled by Liang Su from the Liang Mansion.

She forgot.

This was during the feudal dynasty.

How could a commoner like her look directly at the Imperial Concubine?

Even with the "halo of the heroine", others will like her several times more, but the prerequisite for having a favorable impression is not to break the rules of the world.

And she just looked directly at the Imperial Concubine...which violated the rules of the feudal dynasty, so the halo would naturally not take effect.

Xu Shengsheng quickly kowtowed to the Imperial Concubine Li Lan and admitted her fault: "It is my fault... I admired the Imperial Concubine's beauty so much that I was stunned and forgot my identity..."

Xu Shengsheng lowered her head and held the golden plate above her head with both hands: "Your Highness, please have a taste of the locust flower cake made by this commoner."

"You've spent all your time dressing up. How can the sweet-scented osmanthus cake taste good?" Looking at Xu Shengsheng, who was wearing a dazzling red dress under the sun, Li Lan felt like there was a thorn in her heart. Li Lan pouted with some disdain: "You're not trying to seduce men by offering the sophora japonica cake, are you?"

Xu Shengsheng: ...

Xu Shengsheng defended herself: "Your Highness, your words are too serious. I didn't mean that."

"Oh, there is no best." Li Lan was unhappy when she saw Xu Shengsheng: "I'll taste it when I have time."

Xu Shengsheng's scalp tingled and she muttered to herself... Li Lan has been in the palace for so many years and holds the position of a noble concubine, but how come she doesn't behave like a noble concubine at all? It seems as if she was just casually pulled in to make up the numbers.

She was not a fool. She could tell from just a few words that Li Lan had a bad first impression of her.

Xu Shengsheng turned to the queen sitting on the other side and smiled respectfully: "Your Majesty, please taste the locust flower cake made by me."

Unexpectedly, just as she finished her words, the maid behind the queen scolded her: "How dare you! Do you want to poison the queen?"

Xu Shengsheng hit a wall again.

She blinked and wondered how this had offended the Queen.

In order to establish herself as a talented woman, Xu Shengsheng lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and replied in a very humble tone: "I am a stupid woman, please explain it to me, Madam."

"Don't you know that the Queen is allergic to locust flowers?" The nanny scolded Xu Shengsheng who was kneeling in the garden.

Xu Shengsheng's shoulders trembled.

She really didn't know that the queen was allergic to locust flowers.

Xu Shengsheng glanced at Madam Li from the side, wondering if Madam Li was doing something bad in secret!

But it didn't make sense. Madam Li no longer had any prejudice against her. She could even feel Madam Li's growing affection for her...

How could Mrs. Li deliberately try to trip her up?

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Maybe Mrs. Li doesn’t even know that the Queen is allergic to locust flower cake!

Xu Shengsheng advised herself this in her heart.

After convincing herself, Xu Shengsheng wanted to make a few excuses to the Queen.

But I suddenly remembered the stupid thing I did a few minutes ago...

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the queen is just an empty title, she still has the title of queen after all.

A little impatience will ruin a big plan, but she is patient!

Xu Shengsheng admitted her mistake. She kowtowed several times in the direction of the queen, "Ignorance is not a crime! I beg the queen to have mercy and forgive my crime..."

"Don't know? I think you did it on purpose!"

"But considering that this is your first offense, I will not punish you too severely."

"Someone, slap me twenty times!"

As soon as the maid finished speaking, three maids with unfriendly faces came up.

Two people held Xu Shengsheng's shoulders from behind and clasped her hands behind her back.

Another fat palace maid stood in front of Xu Shengsheng, looking ferociously at the tearful face.

Xu Shengsheng begged for mercy with tears in her eyes: "Please have mercy, Queen, please have mercy..."

The fat maid raised her hand and slapped him -

There were suddenly five finger marks on Xu Shengsheng's face!

My face was burning with pain.

Xu Shengsheng wanted to cover her face, but her hands were handcuffed behind her back.

She looked at the fat and big-eared palace maid in front of her with tearful eyes and cursed her in her heart.

[Hiss, it hurts...]

[Humph, when I absorb all the luck and aura of that feudal idiot in the future and become a popular figure in front of the imperial concubine, I will make sure you, a rotten fish and shrimp, pay the price! ]

[And this damn queen, isn't she always full of kindness and justice? How could she tolerate the maidservants around her doing evil things in public! It seems that this queen is also a fake good person who says one thing in public and another in private! ]

A trace of hatred flashed across Xu Shengsheng's face, and then a pitiful look appeared on her face.

Seeing that the fat maid was about to slap her again, Xu Shengsheng maintained her image of an "innocent victim" and asked Madam Li beside her for help: "Madam, I followed you all the way from Jiangnan City... It was you who told me to attack and present the locust flower cake to the nobles in the palace..."

"Madam, Madam, save me, Madam..."

When Mrs. Li heard that she was dragged into this, she immediately became anxious.

She brought Xu Shengsheng here with good intentions, thinking that her locust flower cake had a unique taste and should be offered to the nobles in the palace for tasting. Who knows, if the nobles are so happy, they might even reward her with something.

Besides, she really didn't know about the fact that Queen Lu Jinglan was allergic to Sophora japonica flowers. After all, the queen's presence in the palace was so low that she was tacitly regarded as a figurehead.

Anyone with a bit of sense would try to curry favor with the imperial concubine who was at the height of her power. Who would have thought that the queen was actually allergic to locust flowers...

She originally thought that Xu Shengsheng wanted to take all the blame on herself, and she even developed some good feelings towards Xu Shengsheng in her heart, but she didn't expect that Xu Shengsheng actually wanted to drag her into the water.
