I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"My lady..." Su Minglang lowered her head in embarrassment and laughed twice, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

"It's okay," the queen smiled nonchalantly, "but I came at the wrong time and ruined your mood."

"No, no." Su Minglang waved her hands hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please don't blame me. I am already very grateful."

"The soup has been spilled. We can't eat it today." The Queen raised her chin and motioned Su Minglang to look at the overturned soup pot behind her.

"That's okay. I have some prepared for adding to the soup." Su Minglang waved his hand, and Xiaoye, who was hiding in the dark, came over with a soup pot.

"This servant greets Her Majesty the Queen."

The Queen smiled and said, not caring about her impoliteness just now. "That's good, that's good. I won't disturb Zhaoyi then."

The queen nodded to Su Minglang, turned around and gestured to Liu An, "Let's go."

"Wait!" Su Minglang subconsciously called out to her. By the time she realized what was happening, the Queen had already stopped and turned to look at her in confusion. "What's wrong? Is there anything else Su Zhaoyi wants to say?"

"Um, um..." Su Minglang didn't expect that she would say it subconsciously, so she could only bite the bullet and ask, "I have just started here, and I haven't touched anything yet. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to stay and try it together?"

"All the things we use are of the best quality!" Su Minglang explained hurriedly, fearing that the Queen would dislike him.

Liu An frowned and was about to rebuke: "Su Zhaoyi, the Queen is..."

"Liu An!" The Queen Mother stopped Liu An and waved her hand, saying, "Go outside and guard. Don't let anyone disturb you."

"Mother, this..."

"Go!" The Queen's face was slightly cold, and Liu An could only turn around and walk away. Before leaving, he did not forget to glare at Su Minglang.

Su Minglang didn't care about his look. After all, what she said was somewhat impartial.

"Then let me have a taste of Su Zhaoyi's cooking!" The Queen Mother watched with interest as Xiaoye and Nanxing skillfully set up the stove and placed the soup pot on the fire. Soon, it was bubbling with steam.

The broth that has been simmered for an afternoon is boiled, and the aroma spreads. The vegetables prepared in advance are crisp and tender. After being blanched in the pot, the vegetables are coated with the rich broth. The broth bursts in the mouth as soon as it is taken a sip, and the aroma spreads from the inside to the outside.

The Queen took a small bite; the sweetness and freshness of the vegetables were balanced out by the rich aroma of the soup base, making it neither bland nor greasy.

"Not bad." The Queen chuckled and praised, "It's amazing that Concubine Su could come up with such an idea."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Su Minglang looked at the boiling soup pot in front of her and shook her head. "It's only because the food in the palace is good that the soup base can be cooked for half a day with pork bones and chicken. When I first ate it, I just used water."

"How could it be?" The Queen asked in confusion, "After all, the Su Mansion is the backbone of the family, how could there be only clean water available?"

"It's not just water!" Xiao Ye said indignantly, "Even the vegetables are leftovers stolen from the kitchen."

"Xiao Ye!" Su Minglang scolded slightly, then turned to apologize to the Queen: "This girl has been spoiled by me and has lost her manners. Please forgive me, Queen."

"It's not a big deal!" The Queen said nonchalantly, "Tonight there is no distinction between master and servant. You should get along with each other the same way you did in the past."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Minglang thanked him and turned to push Xiaoye, "Why don't you thank the Queen?"

"I thank the Queen!" Xiao Ye quickly stood up and was about to kneel.

"Okay, sit down and eat." The queen waved her hand hastily to signal her not to be polite. "Although I am a woman, I was loved by my parents and brothers when I was young. I have forgotten how harsh the world is to women."

The Queen said apologetically, "Just now I subconsciously felt that the Su family wouldn't be short of such a small thing. I'm afraid I mentioned your past sorrow, right?"

"No, it's all in the past." Su Minglang smiled and shook her head, "I am now in the palace, even if my grandfather comes to see me, he has to address me as Empress Zhaoyi."

"What's more, I have already lived half my life according to their wishes. For the remaining half of my life, I will naturally live according to my own ideas."

When it comes to the Su family, Su Minglang's memories of her childhood are not very clear. She has experienced life and death, love and hate in her life, and those injustices that she has been obsessed with are long gone.

But what she could not forget was what the Su family did after she was killed by the emperor, Li, and that wolf. When she was floating in the air, she had hoped in her heart that her father and mother could seek justice for her.

Even if there is no justice, at least shed a tear for her, even just one.

But no, none of that. What happened was that they quickly found a new master. Not only did they not avenge her, they also helped the ungrateful person who killed her to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Perhaps from that moment on, Su Minglang would no longer desire any family affection in her heart, or perhaps she had already understood that the only truth in this world is to love oneself.

"Yes, it's all over!" The Queen gently took Su Minglang's hand and patted it, "Since you have started a new life and you are now in the palace, even if their hands are as long as they can, they can't do anything to you!"

"Yeah!" Su Minglang nodded with a smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's really stupid to disturb your own leisure time for those unworthy people!"

"Chinese cabbage rolled with tofu, have you ever heard of this dish, Madam?" Su Minglang picked up a piece of tofu and put it into the pot. "Although it uses cheap ingredients, the soup base is the most essential part."

"Tofu has a natural fragrance that cannot be covered up even by broth. The weather is still a little chilly at night, and a bite of it can warm you up for a long time."

"You stay in the palace all day and don't go out to play with the other sisters in the palace. It turns out that you are studying these foods in the room." The queen smiled helplessly, "You can't stay in the room all the time like this. You should go out for a walk when you have nothing to do on weekdays."

"I don't have anywhere else to go, and most of the snacks I like are too plain. You're the only one willing to accompany me and have some fun."

"Then come to my place!" The Queen looked at her with a sharp gaze. "I have nowhere to go anyway, so if you have nothing to do, come to me. You can also help me deal with the chores in the palace."

"How can this be possible!" Su Minglang hastily refused, "I dare not interfere in the affairs of the harem."

"What are you afraid of? Just think of it as you are here to listen to me complain."
