The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Lu Panpan scratched his head embarrassedly and said hesitantly:

"Before my sister fainted last night, I saw that she seemed to be cooking something delicious. The meat smelled so good! When I was standing behind Concubine Xian and serving her, I was drooling with greed!"

Lu Panpan asked tentatively:

"I can stay in the camp for one more day today. Can you make me the delicious food from last night again?"

After hearing what she said, Lu Qingqing chuckled and pinched her little face lovingly.

It seems that I was too cautious before. This Lu Panpan is simply a cute little foodie!

Lu Qingqing agreed readily.

"Pan Pan just wants to eat teppanyaki barbecue, right? No problem!"

"Our lunch today is teppanyaki barbecue!"

Lu Panpan suddenly jumped up from the stool she was sitting on, turned around happily, and shook Lu Qingqing's arm with a smile on her face.

"Really? Sister!"

"Great! I can eat teppanyaki grilled meat too!"

Lu Qingqing took out a few silver bills from her valuables and handed them to Erxi, asking her to ask the imperial chef for the ingredients for last night's barbecue.

As for the large-leaf greens needed to wrap the barbecue.

Lu Panpan volunteered. She asked Lu Qingqing to rest well in the tent and she went to look for it with Xiaotao.

"Don't worry, sister. Xiaotao and I will go pick wild vegetables together. Nothing will happen."

"Besides, I also want to go out and take a look at what this camp looks like."

Although Lu Qingqing was a little worried, she couldn't bear to refuse when she saw her sister's excited look, so she agreed.

Lu Panpan and Xiaotao went out of the tent together, and she jumped up and down excitedly.

"Xiao Tao, I'm so lucky. I only worked as a maid in the palace for a few days, and I really found my sister!"

"When I was a palace maid, I could only look down at the road and never dared to look up. Now that my sister is a favorite concubine, I can also look up and enjoy this beautiful scenery!"

Lu Panpan held Xiaotao's hand, as if she wanted to pull Xiaotao into her happiness.

Xiao Tao looked at her happy face. Although she was happy for her, she felt a little worried.

Miss Panpan is too lively and the people in the palace have complicated minds. If left alone, she might cause trouble in the future.

Xiao Tao wanted to give her some advice, but when she saw Pan Pan's cheerful look, she swallowed the words back.

The two walked quickly, and soon they saw a lush green meadow full of vitality - this was where they picked wild vegetables last night.

Lu Panpan and Xiao Tao carried bamboo baskets, and when they saw a wild vegetable, they bent down and picked one. Soon, the originally empty bamboo baskets were mostly full.

Just as they were about to go back, a few pretentious female voices came from behind.

"This noble lady Ming's maid is really shabby."

"Why don't you just eat something else? Why do you have to come here to cut grass to eat? It's really laughable!"

Xiao Tao reacted quickly and realized it was Concubine Shu!

She quickly turned around and pulled Lu Panpan to kneel down and salute.

"Slave, please see Concubine Shu."

"But I am not cutting grass, I am picking wild vegetables."

After listening to Xiaotao's words, Concubine Shu laughed even more mockingly.

"What good thing do you think I am? Wild vegetables!"

"Are you, Mr. Ming, a savage? Why are you eating wild vegetables for no reason?"

Although Xiao Tao was angry, she knew very well that Concubine Shu's character was superficial and arrogant.

She just needed to be respectful and keep silent, and everything would be fine after Concubine Shu had vented her anger.

However, things are often not bad because of oneself. Xiao Tao forgot that there was an unstable factor kneeling next to her.

She didn't hold him back, Lu Panpan stood up and shouted at Concubine Shu angrily:

"Don't you dare say that about my sister!"

"You are the savage! Your whole family is savages!"

Concubine Shu was stunned at first.

She didn't expect that there would be someone so bold that a little palace maid would dare to openly contradict her.

When Concubine Shu came to her senses and realized what the palace maid had said, the sneer on her face became even more outrageous.

"Hehe, sister?"

Last night she heard that Lu Qingqing recognized a sister in front of the emperor.

She was just wanting to meet who this sister was, but unexpectedly she ran into her on her way for a walk!

If I don't teach my sister Lu Qingqing a lesson today, I'll be wasting this great opportunity!

The corner of Concubine Shu's mouth curled up and she sneered.

"Little sister, the women in this harem are nothing but concubines and maids. Where are the sisters?!"

"You can only act impressively in front of your sister."

"Even if she's your sister, I've punished and scolded her before! Here, crushing you to death is no different from crushing an ant to death!"

Shufei's eyes were fixed on Lu Panpan, and she felt a little frightened by the stare.

But Lu Panpan still forced herself to be brave, and despite Xiaotao winking at her from the side, she retorted to Concubine Shu.

"You dare to kill me? If you kill me, you will have to pay with your life!"

Xiaotao's face turned even darker.

This Lu Panpan was so reckless! She was totally different from her sister Lu Qingqing's cautious character.

The grassland where they were was far away from their tent. If they continued to quarrel like this, I wonder who could save Lu Panpan.

A palace maid contradicted Concubine Shu, why should Concubine Shu take action herself? She winked at Furong next to her, and Furong understood immediately.

She walked up to Lu Panpan, slapped her hard twice, and ordered the eunuchs accompanying her to force Lu Panpan to kneel on the ground.

"You bold servant! How dare you openly contradict Her Majesty the Concubine? This is truly disrespectful!"

"If it weren't inconvenient to stay in the camp, I would have thrown you into the Shenxing Division right now!"

Furong slapped Lu Panpan twice, and she was stunned. She knelt on the ground in a daze, wanting to cry but unable to.

Seeing her silly look, Concubine Shu felt amused and wanted to tease her a few more times, but Furong persuaded her to stop.

"Your Majesty, the little maid we placed in Concubine Zhuang's palace that day has not yet come out of the Ministry of Punishment. Right now, no one in the palace knows what the Ministry of Punishment has found out."

"It's fine if we just give her a little punishment, but if the emperor finds out about that, we can't let him get angry because of this little maid."

Furong was right. Concubine Shu still had the leverage over her in the Ministry of Punishment, so she really didn't dare to cause any more trouble.

She had no choice but to glare at Lu Panpan fiercely, and then left in disappointment surrounded by the crowd.

When Lu Panpan and Xiao Tao returned to the tent crying, the redness and swelling from the two slap marks on her face had not yet disappeared.

As soon as Lu Panpan saw Lu Qingqing, she shouted loudly in grievance:

"Sister, if someone bullies me, you have to stand up for me!"

"If you don't avenge me, I will become the emperor's concubine!"
