I was fucked by Zheng Ge as soon as I crossed over
Chapter 16: Zhao Bloodline
The influence of the ditch salt drying method is still spreading, but it has nothing to do with Su Jinyue. At this moment, she is deeply shocked by the influence of the buns.
Su Jinyue knew that the buns would definitely be well received, but she still underestimated their popularity.
Li Si, who had always been at odds with her, actually took the initiative to talk to her because of Baozi.
As soon as the court meeting ended that day, Li Si stepped forward and stopped Su Jinyue who was quickly leaving the hall.
"Princess, please stay. I have something to ask of you."
"What's the matter?" Su Jinyue looked confused.
"Excuse me, Third Princess, do you have any tips for making steamed buns? Everyone in my family, young and old, loves them, but the filling is always a little disappointing. My grandson always cries, saying they're not as delicious as the ones brought by other students in the academy."
Li Si said this, lowering his head slightly in shame. He had no conflict of interest with the Third Princess, and his previous questioning during the court meeting was part of his duty as Prime Minister.
His grandson was still young and would cry every time because his buns were not as good as he wanted. He took this opportunity to talk to the third princess and ease the conflict between them.
"That's easy. Just ask your cook to come to the kitchen. Next time when you make buns, have him there with you." Su Jinyue agreed readily.
"Thank you so much, Third Princess is so kind." Li Si raised his hand and bowed to express his gratitude.
Su Jinyue waved goodbye.
On the way back, she couldn't calm down.
If it is said that King Ying Zheng of Qin was willful, domineering and profiteering, then at least half of his reputation was due to Li Si.
Throughout history, Li Si was the ruthless man who was obsessed with power and only cared about the law. It is no exaggeration to say that he was obsessed with power.
He proposed to rule the country by law and burn ancient books, and he was even bewitched by Zhao Gao to forge an imperial edict in order to protect the status of the Legalists. This shows his ambition. What's more, he could not even tolerate his own senior brother. Han Fei's death is still shrouded in mystery.
A powerful minister, a powerful minister, a natural power-grabber, and only Zheng Ge can suppress this man.
Su Jinyue was still thinking about whether she should have a battle with Li Si after she had gained her footing, but was interrupted by a sharp female voice.
"Hey, who did I think it was? Isn't this our immortal disciple, Third Sister?"
In front of the palace road, several palace maids surrounded a princess, blocking the way forward.
The woman standing in the middle of the crowd was tall and had an arrogant look on her face. She was wearing a gorgeous black dress with a curved hem, and various jewels could be vaguely seen embellishing it.
Her hair was combed up into a high bun on top of her head, with several gold and jade hairpins inserted diagonally on the bun, decorated with several brightly colored pearls, which were particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
Lady Gui quietly stepped forward and whispered behind Su Jinyue, "This is the fourth princess, Princess Wenyu. Her mother, Zhao Ji, gave birth to another fifteenth son. She was your most favored princess before."
Su Jinyue understood that the drama of competing for favor in the harem was about to begin.
She looked at him with shining eyes. Should he pretend to fall? Or should he lead her to the lake and jump in?
The fourth princess was puzzled when she saw the other party suddenly become excited.
She coughed lightly and continued, "I thought Third Sister was so favored, but it seems the palace servants were just exaggerating."
As she spoke, she looked up and down at Su Jinyue's clothes and jewelry, her eyes stopping on the cloth bag hanging from the leather belt around her waist.
"Tsk, you don't even have a jade pendant, and you still say you're favored?"
The fourth princess showed contempt on her face, reached out to brush the ivory beads around her neck, and turned to look at the palace maid who followed Su Jinyue.
This glance made her discover something wrong. Unlike other palace maids, the ones following Su Jinyue were obviously strong, especially the guard at the back of the group. She remembered very clearly that the man had been serving her father before and was highly valued.
This discovery made the fourth princess frown, and she was shocked and undecided.
Su Jinyue was still waiting for the other party to attack. She had already decided in what position to fall, and then pretend to accidentally hit her head and pass out.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't expect that the other party would become a little timid as soon as they met.
"Is Fourth Sister afraid?"
One sentence successfully ignited the flames of war.
The fourth princess raised her head and said to Su Jinyue proudly, "I heard that the third sister is an excellent cook. How about coming to my sister's palace and making lunch for her?"
Shi Nu Dan stepped forward and said, "Fourth Princess, please have lunch prepared by the kitchen. The Third Princess just came back from the court meeting and needs to rest."
"How dare you, lady! The princesses are talking, you have no right to interrupt!" The lady who served the four princesses retorted.
The Fourth Princess waved her hand to stop them and turned to Su Jinyue, "Why, as a descendant of the Zhao family, am I not worthy of eating lunch cooked by Third Sister?"
She emphasized the words "Zhao bloodline", clearly implying that Su Jinyue's bloodline was not pure and was just the descendant of Su Ji's ex-husband.
Su Jinyue gritted her teeth secretly, you want me to serve you dinner, huh, I’ll kill you.
"Okay, Fourth Sister, I'll go to the kitchen and prepare lunch. Please save some space and enjoy my cooking skills."
"Hmph, you know what's going on."
The fourth princess left with her men.
Lady Gui comforted Su Jinyue, "Princess, don't be angry. Just ask the chefs to make something and send it over later."
"No, I want to do it myself!" A sly smile flashed across the corner of her eyes.
An hour later, a huge pot of Maoxuewang came out of the oven, along with spicy stir-fried chicken cubes, spicy stir-fried pork, spicy rabbit head, and plenty of dogwood and Qin pepper!
"Go, send them all to the Fourth Princess."
Su Jinyue clapped her hands and took her portion back to Yuehua Palace to enjoy. You little brat, this is so spicy that it won’t kill you.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss"
It’s been a long time since I enjoyed eating spicy food so much, it feels great!
Su Jinyue ate the steamed buns happily, taking a sip of sour fruit juice from time to time, feeling very comfortable.
Before she could finish eating, the fourth princess came to her door with a group of people.
"Su Jinyue, you have bad intentions, are you trying to poison me?"
Upon closer inspection, one can see the fourth princess's slightly swollen lips, and the red corners of her eyes, which are characteristic of crying so hard.
"What kind of poison? Fourth sister, I worked so hard for an hour to make this delicious food, and it's fine if you don't appreciate it, but you actually wrongly accuse me!"
"You! You!" The fourth princess pointed at Su Jinyue, who was blaming her for the crime, with trembling fingers. "You, damn it!"
"What do you mean by 'I'? Is what I cooked not tasty? And what about poisoning? We ate the same thing, so why am I fine?"
The fourth princess looked at the lunch on the table that had not been removed in time, and it was indeed the same dish as her own.
"You...you can't eat spicy food, right?" Su Jinyue tried hard to suppress her laughter. "No way, there are people who are afraid of dogwood. I've almost finished eating it, and you didn't dare to eat it, did you? Some people are so beautiful, but they are afraid of vegetables?"
The fourth princess's face flushed red and she stamped her feet fiercely, "You! Don't think that I will be nice to you just because you praise me."
As she spoke, she turned and ran out of the hall, with her attendants quickly following.
"Who praised her? It's so weird!" Su Jinyue ignored her and continued eating.
