On the first day when she was dressed as a translucent woman in the cold palace, Lin Wanyi exchanged her last jewelry for an iron pot.
The imperial concubine smashed her charcoal fire: "Does a humble body deserve warmth?"
That night, the emperor was awakened by the smell of chili peppers and followed the smell into the drafty side hall.
"What is this?" Xiao Che stared at the rolling red soup.
"Back to the Emperor, this is called... Yuanyang Hot Pot." She handed over the homemade dipping sauce.
Three days later, the imperial concubine was demoted to the cold palace due to "disrespect before the emperor".
Lin Wanyi captured the queen mother with milk tea, bribed the prince with cakes, and stayed with the emperor every night with hot pot.
When the ladies of the aristocratic family ridiculed her for inviting favors from the chef, Xiao Che angrily threw a memorial: "You are worthy of discussing the soup prepared by the queen herself?"
Later, she accepted the worship of hundreds of officials while holding out her pregnant belly, and then she discovered——
The iron pot back then was actually a relic of the emperor's biological mother.
