The thing that Shen Tangli regrets most in her life is that she suddenly died while traveling through time while staying up late to develop mango glutinous rice cakes.
When she opened her eyes again, she became the only daughter of an eighth-grade painter in the House of Internal Affairs during the Kangxi period. Her father did not care for her and her mother died young, and she was forced into the palace to work as a candied fruit craftsman at the bottom of the imperial kitchen.
I thought I would spend my whole life in a steamer and a candy jar, but when I was delivering snacks to my elder brothers, I saw the twelfth elder brother Yinheng being blocked in the corridor by several brothers and making fun of him. Shen Tangli's brain twitched, and he passed over with the sweet-scented osmanthus candy cake that had just come out of the pot: "Twelve Master, eat it while it's hot to relieve your anger."
Yinheng lowered his head and glanced at this little palace maid who didn't even have a rank, and accepted it.
Since then, the consumption of candy cakes in the imperial kitchen has tripled.
At first, Shen Tangli thought it was because her craftsmanship was so good, until one night she bumped into the rumored "gentle and polite" Twelve Master in the Imperial Garden. He was leaning under the plum tree and smiling at her: "Where are the almond cakes today?"
——This man who co-authored it specializes in squatting and eating.
But slowly, Shen Tangli realized that something was wrong.
She casually mentioned that "lychees taste good with rose water", and the next day the imperial dining room received fresh lychees that were rushed from Lingnan; she said she wanted to see fireworks, and all the lights in the Forbidden City were lit up for her during the Lantern Festival; she accidentally stepped on the threshold of the Imperial Concubine Palace, and when she turned around, the threshold was replaced...
Later, rumors went crazy in the palace, saying that the twelfth prince had offended half of the harem because of a little palace maid in the royal kitchen.
But Yinheng just held the candy cake she handed him and slowly took a bite.
