The grass in the factory should be plucked

That day, Jiang Li cooked another pot of bacon rice, picked the newly grown Chinese cabbage, and made scrambled eggs with Chinese cabbage.

The fat rat squatted obediently aside, drooling all over the floor.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the kitchen, and the young man's clear voice rang out, "My lady, may I come in?"

Jiang Li quickly signaled Fat Haozi to hide, but Fat Haozi refused to leave and stared at the pot of rice eagerly.

"I'll leave a big bowl for you, okay?"

The fat rat ran away angrily.

Jiang Li walked out of the kitchen and saw the little eunuch from that day standing outside the door, looking a little embarrassed.

"You're here? The meal is ready, come in." Jiang Li waved at him with a smile.

"Are you recovered?"

The young man smiled shyly: "Okay, thank you for your concern, Madam."

He handed over the bag and said, "I brought you some spare clothes and daily necessities. Your Majesty, please see if you need them."

"Oh, you are so thoughtful, little eunuch!"

Jiang Li happily took the bag and took out the jade bracelet and stuffed it into his hand.

"I can't take your things for free. How much salary can a small eunuch like you get? Take it."

"My lady, it's not necessary. You can keep it for yourself."

"These are all my belongings. I can't eat them or wear them. Why don't you help me exchange them for some food?"

The young man paused and said, "Okay, if your majesty needs anything in the future, just let me know."

"Come on, come on, let's eat and talk."

Jiang Li asked him to sit down and scooped him a big bowl of bacon rice.

The boy picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and put it in his mouth. The taste was ordinary, but the hot smell of fireworks made him feel warm in his heart.

"Which palace are you from? How should I call you?" Jiang Li asked.

"My name is Qinghe, and I work for the Third Prince."

"Qinghe, why did you faint here last time?"

"Before, there was no one in the cold palace, and the Third Prince didn't have many errands to do, so I would occasionally come here to get some peace and quiet."

Qinghe said with embarrassment, "I caught a cold that day and wanted to find a place to laze around, but I fainted unexpectedly. I am sorry for disturbing the queen."

"It's okay, it's okay. This place is so big, you can come whenever you want. Seeing how skillfully you climb over the wall, it turns out you're a habitual offender, haha..."

The young noblewoman played by Jiang Li was sent to the cold palace right after entering the palace. She was completely in the dark about the situation in the harem and knew nothing.

So she was eager to know the situation in the palace and how to save her life.

The appearance of Qinghe is like timely relief!

"Qinghe, can you tell me what's going on in this palace? Which lady is the most favored?"

"The most favored one is naturally Concubine Zhou..."

The old emperor's harem includes one queen, four concubines and nine imperial concubines, countless beauties, noble ladies and talented women. Although he has many concubines, he does not have many children. Currently, he only has three princes and six princesses.

Empress Zhang had no children. The eldest prince was born to Concubine Xiao Shufei of Yong'an Palace, the second prince was born to Concubine Zhou Guifei of Yuhua Palace, and the third prince was born to Concubine Li.

The eldest prince and the second prince have both left the palace and set up their own residences. Only the third prince has not yet married and is still living in the prince's residence in the palace.

Li Cairen died early, and the third prince was not valued by the emperor and was just a nobody in the palace.

The emperor was old, but he had not yet appointed a crown prince.

The most popular candidate for the crown prince at the moment is the Second Prince Nangong Xihe.

However, there were also many aristocratic families who advocated "establishing the eldest son" and supported the eldest prince Nangong Taihe.

The struggle between the two factions is on the verge of breaking out at any moment.

Jiang Li couldn't help but frown secretly. From the little noble's memories before his death, the old emperor had cloudy eyes and a gloomy face, and he didn't have many years left to live.

Half of your feet are in the earth, and you still ruin the pretty and delicate girl. What a sin!

The fight for the throne was a life-and-death struggle in every dynasty, with white knives going in and red knives coming out.

The struggle in the previous dynasty is bound to sweep across the harem...

Jiang Li fell into deep thought.

"Don't worry, madam. Right now, the Yong'an Palace and the Yuhua Palace are fighting fiercely. It's safer for you to stay here."

Qinghe looked at the girl in front of him. Her messy hair and dirty dress could not hide her natural beauty. He couldn't help but sigh in regret.

At such a beautiful age, she is going to waste her life in this cold palace!

"Yeah, I know, thank you, Qinghe."

In this way, Jiang Li made his first friend in this world.

One day, Jiang Li accidentally discovered a bunch of catnip while digging wild vegetables in the backyard!

Jiang Li was immediately overjoyed. You know, she had been planning to get the cat from the imperial kitchen for a long time!

The "bully of the imperial kitchen" mentioned by Fat Haozi is the calico cat. According to Jiang Li's judgment, it should be a cat with high intelligence.

If she could get out, she would have contracted it long ago!

She called Fat Rat over, "Rat, there is an important combat mission!"

"Okay, I promise to complete the mission!"

"Go to the imperial kitchen and bring the cat over here."

"What?" The fat rat trembled with fear.

Is the owner tired of them and wants the cat to kill them all?

"I plan to lure the enemy into surrender and turn the cat into my own meow..."

Jiang Li had a sly smile on his face.

"It takes a thousand days to raise a rat, but only a moment to use it. Now is the time to show your value!"

Jiang Li summoned her army of mice and gave them instructions in person.

The fat rat cried, "Master, you must save our lives!"

"Just rest assured!"

Jiang Li looked at the fat rat with disdain on his face, "Marshal Rat, isn't it time for you to lose weight?"

At night, on a dark and windy night, the army of mice set off stealthily, holding catnip in their mouths.

In the imperial kitchen, a chubby, shiny and sleek cat was squatting on the roof, licking its fur comfortably.

"Meow?"

The tabby cat suddenly raised its head, and a faint fragrance wafted through the night.

“It smells so good!”

This smell has a fatal attraction to the cat, and it can't help but follow the scent.

The mice followed Jiang Li's instructions, tore up the catnip and scattered it on the road leading from the imperial kitchen to the cold palace.

Sure enough, the cat came over following the scent.

"Huahua, look, what is this?"

Jiang Li was standing in the yard with a handful of catnip in her hand, waving it at the cat.

She heard the cat meowing and was extremely excited.

"What is this? What is this? There is something so fragrant in the world! I really want to try it!"

"Come here, Huahua, this is for you, I have a lot more——"

The cat hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't resist the attraction of catnip, and pounced over with a "meow".

Jiang Li threw catnip to the cat. The cat sniffed it, then rubbed the grass frantically and rolled on the ground excitedly.

The fat mouse hiding nearby was stunned. Is this fat cat crazy?

Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh as he watched the cat rolling on the ground.

Cats in this world cannot escape the fatal attraction of catnip.

She took advantage of the cat's intoxication, bit her finger, drew a blood contract on the cat's head, and successfully gained another little brother.

After the cat calmed down from its crazy behavior, it rubbed against Jiang Li's feet obediently.

"Master, what kind of magic herb is this? Do you have any more?"

"Of course there is more, as long as you behave well, you will have enough!"

"Master is the best, I love you the most!"

The fat mouse couldn't stand the cat's fawning look, so he jumped out from behind Jiang Li and puffed out his little chest.

"I am the boss under the master!"

When the tabby cat saw the fat mouse, its eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity. It pounced over with a meow and knocked the fat mouse to the ground.

"Hey, stop it now. Don't eat your colleagues!" Jiang Li hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
