Introduction to "The Little Chef in the Imperial Kitchen"
In the spring of the 23rd year of Jinghe, the Lin family, a family of royal chefs, was framed and involved in a rebellion, and their entire family was ransacked. The only daughter Lin Xiaoxiao took the family's cooking recipe and a pair of silver colanders and entered the palace under the name of the late palace maid "Lin Xiao".
In the imperial dining room with strict hierarchy and surging undercurrents, she started from the lowest level as a cook. She had to hide her identity while also dealing with conflicts from all sides. With her superb cooking skills and wisdom, she won the favor of the Queen Mother with her "Osmanthus Dingsheng Cake", used "Pearl Milk Tea" to relieve the depression of the eldest princess, and used "Boiled Cabbage" to amaze everyone in the royal kitchen competition, and gradually rose to prominence.
In the process, she got acquainted with the mysterious "A'Dai" (actually the forbearing and dormant prince Zhao Heng) and the friendly Eunuch Fushun, and was also framed and tested by Wang Zhangshan and others. There are royal secrets behind the Lin family's injustice case, and the silver colander hides family secrets and escape clues. As he gets deeper into the palace struggle, Lin Xiaoxiao not only needs to clear his family's grievances, but also accidentally gets involved in the battle for the throne, helping the prince to expose the Queen Mother's conspiracy to kill the king and usurp the throne, and uncover her secret connection with the royal family.
In the end, the injustice was revealed, and Lin Xiaoxiao chose to leave the palace, return to his hometown to inherit the Lin family's cooking skills, and find his inner destination amidst the fireworks of the market.
