I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 13 Sisters are worthy of each other

Concubine Liu slowly opened her eyes. The scorching sun shone through the dense leaves and jumped into the house from the window, but it was not hot. The leaves rustled in the breeze, and the sun also danced in the house.

The air was filled with the faint aroma of food, and Concubine Liu couldn't help swallowing.

The furnishings in the room are not the same as those in my own room. But the layout is no different from my own room, so I guess it is still in the cold palace.

Concubine Liu breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that she was not dead. Even if it was hard to endure in the cold palace, she didn't want to die. She still had a daughter.

Thinking of the roast chicken Anle secretly asked the eunuch to bring to her the night before, she didn't finish it in one meal, and the remaining half had become a little sour and smelly the next day. But this was the food given to her by her daughter, and the eunuch said that her daughter secretly bought it from the imperial kitchen with her own silver. Concubine Liu did not throw it away, but ate it while crying.

Anle is a princess, and she has to use silver to buy whatever she wants to eat in the palace. You can imagine what kind of life she is living now. But even so, she still sends food to herself. Concubine Liu is very distressed. She hates it so much. She hates that the previous emperor died early because of his incompetence, hates that the second prince is so vindictive, hates that she has no ability and does not have a strong mother's family to support Anle. If only the prince was still alive, he has always been very good to his brothers and sisters...

"You're awake." Yunyue walked in with a bowl of lean meat porridge.

Concubine Liu looked at Yunyue in surprise. She didn't expect that it was Yunyue who saved her. She quickly sat up and said gratefully, "Concubine Yun, thank you for saving me."

She had guessed which sister in the cold palace had saved her, but she never expected it to be Yunyue. Although she was Xiao Yinchen's concubine, Concubine Liu did not transfer her hatred for him to Yunyue. After all, her experience was worse than hers, not to mention that she had saved herself.

"If you want to thank someone, thank Wanhua." Yunyue looked behind her and saw Li Wanhua, who was happily chewing a chicken leg, also walked in.

Li Wanhua said with both pride and disdain: "Yunyue was kind-hearted. I knocked on your door but no one answered. Yunyue felt something was wrong and took me to your place again. Then I saw you... Tsk. But you really should thank me, after all, I carried you out of those filthy things. Then we wiped your body and changed your clothes..." Thinking of the scene yesterday, Li Wanhua felt that the chicken leg in her mouth was no longer fragrant. She felt like vomiting.

When Concubine Liu thought about how she had vomited like crazy because of eating spoiled roast chicken, she felt even more grateful in her heart and embarrassed on the surface. She didn't expect that the two of them would treat her like this. She was so disgusted that she didn't dare to think about her appearance at that time. When Li Wanhua entered the palace last year, she was afraid that she would compete for favor and let people bully her. She was really...

"Thank you. I will always remember your life-saving grace. But now I am in the cold palace and I have no way to repay you. If you need me in the future, I, Liu Lu, will never say no." Concubine Liu smiled bitterly, looked at Li Wanhua apologetically and apologized sincerely: "Concubine Li, I'm sorry. When you entered the palace before, I sent people to bully you. I really am..."

"Okay, okay, I will get it back later. But don't call me Cairen. Call me Wanhua." Li Wanhua didn't like the name Li Cairen.

"Then I will be so bold as to call you A Yue and Wan Hua. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Lu." Concubine Liu was really grateful to Yun Yue and the others and didn't care about the seniority. She just wanted to get closer to them.

I have died once, so I have let go of many things. No matter how much power they fight for, the women in the deep palace are just pawns of the emperor. Now I just want to live well and watch my daughter grow up well.

Yunyue had no objection. Logically speaking, Liu Lu was the concubine of the previous emperor, so it was absolutely wrong for her to call her sister. But Yunyue, a soul from the future, did not care about the status and class of this world. Moreover, Concubine Liu looked only about 25 or 26 years old, not even older than she was in her previous life. She did not think it was a big deal to call her sister. As for Li Wanhua, she did not care much about these etiquettes, so it did not matter to her.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. Don't let us save you so hard that you starve to death again." Li Wanhua said with a venomous tongue, but she showed her concern. Although she thought of how they bullied her when she first entered the palace, she didn't want to care about it now that everyone was in the same boat.

Liu Lu took the porridge handed over by Yun Yue, lowered his head, tears in his eyes: "I won't die. I will live well."

After eating the porridge, Liu Lu felt much better. He got out of bed and walked around Yunyue's yard. Yunyue kept the yard very clean and planted many flowers and plants to repel mosquitoes. Thinking of his messy yard, Liu Lu blushed. He still couldn't wash his clothes properly.

After entering the room, I was surprised to find that Yunyue and the others' life in the cold palace was really... good! It was even better than before I was sent to the cold palace. There were several basins of ice in the room. There were also two basins in my room. No wonder I didn't feel that hot when I woke up.

The two of them ate snacks and drank powdery water made of something unknown.

Liu Lu couldn't help swallowing.

"You can't drink today. Yunyue said that you injured your stomach yesterday and need to rest for two days. You can't eat anything too hot or too cold. You can't eat anything too oily either." Li Wanhua said gloatingly while crossing her legs.

Liu Lu's face turned red when he found out that his thoughts were guessed.

"This mung bean cake is fine, you can have a piece." Yun Yue pushed the plate of mung bean cake in front of her in front of Liu Lu.

Liu Lu thanked him and took a piece to taste. He could tell it wasn't made in the imperial kitchen. But it was delicious.

"Sister Lu, Wanhua and I went to help you clean your yard today. Many things on the bed are no longer usable, so I burned them on my own initiative." They had to be burned. Those fabrics stained with vomit could no longer be used. If left there, they would only attract mosquitoes and flies. It was easy to spread germs. Even the vomit was covered with quicklime first.

"Thank you, sisters. I have a spare one. I feel much better now. I will go back tomorrow." Liu Lu's eyes were full of gratitude. The ancients said that a friend in need is a friend indeed, and they were right.

"No, you can't go back tomorrow." Li Wanhua said to Liu Lu with a wicked smile.

"You have to help with the work tomorrow."

Liu Ru was a little confused, but nodded hurriedly: "Of course. What do you need me to do? It's just..." Liu Ru bit his lip, and his voice became lower and lower: "I can't do many things well..."

Liu Lu was ten years older than them, but he didn't know how to do anything. He even asked his daughter to use her own allowance to buy food. This made Liu Lu feel ashamed.

In the past, Liu Lu thought that housework was something that only servants did. Although she was not a favored concubine, she would still live a life of wealth and glory. But after being sent to the cold palace, she realized how ridiculous her previous thoughts were.

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Li Wanhua patted her chest.

Yun Yue looked at Li Wanhua from the side and sneered, "You? You broke all the dishes for me when you were washing them for me."

When Li Wanhua saw Yunyue exposing her, she looked at her angrily.

Yun Yue pretended not to notice and said to Liu Lu, "You don't need to do anything, just help me set the plates and take the dishes. Tomorrow is my birthday, and I have invited the sisters in the cold palace to dinner."

Liu Lu was startled: "You want to cook for them?"

"Yeah." Yunyue nodded.

Although he didn't know why Yunyue did this, Liu Lu still said, "I can cook some food and help you tomorrow." Anle likes to eat, so Liu Lu followed the cook to learn for a while for her daughter. Her daughter said that the soup she made was the best in the world.
