When Gu Qingyao entered the palace, she was just a vegetable-cutting maid, but when she brought the lotus seed soup to the imperial concubine, she said: "This soup is as crooked as your eyeliner, why don't I add some arsenic to refresh you?" When the imperial concubine slapped the table, the broken recipe that fell out of her sleeve suddenly glowed, and the squirrel mandarin fish in the recipe actually jumped on the table, and its tail swept out the evidence of "the poisonous woman silenced."
From then on, her palace fighting style changed dramatically: she used an iron pot to stir-fry sweet and sour pork ribs that made people scold her, and scolded the nanny who made things difficult for her until she resigned on the spot; the radish flowers carved out with a kitchen knife turned into a crystal ball that could predict when it fell to the ground, and she accurately avoided all traps. When the emperor came to the royal dining room in disguise, she was brewing sweet-scented osmanthus wine in a swill bucket. There was also a piece of broken jade engraved with the "Queen's Seal" at the bottom of the bucket.
"This wine... Actually tastes like the wine made by my mother-in-law who has been missing for many years." The emperor stared at the crescent birthmark on her wrist, but Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes and poured vinegar into his bowl: "If Your Majesty has no money to pay for the wine, why not mortgage your dragon robe to me as an apron?" It wasn't until she used the broken steamer in the imperial kitchen to steam out the imperial seal that she had passed down the kingdom, that she discovered that she was not the cook - but the legitimate princess who had been hidden in the human world by the deposed queen. The broken recipe book was the divine book of food that could command the world.
