maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was loud, almost thunderous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yue frowned, thinking, Zi Su, what’s with the temper?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurried over to see what was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zi Su!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su turned around angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike usual, where she’d immediately restrain her emotions upon seeing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Zi Su pulled her over upon seeing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Zi Yue, you came just in time, come and see, someone wants to be a lady, with grand ambitions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Huan Chun quickly kowtowed while crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Sister Zi Yue, Sister Zi Su, it’s not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This servant dares not, truly dares not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su gritted her teeth in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dare not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You dress up like a vixen every day, I just can’t stand the sight of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not scolding you is only considering Zi Ning’s sake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, you dare to cozy up to the master openly, who do you think you are to disgrace yourself before the master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to this, Zi Yue frowned as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second-class palace maids generally serve within the courtyard, the master’s personal attendants don’t need them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, they follow first-class palace maids to assist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the extent allowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never appear alone by the master’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If what Zi Su said is true, Huan Chun took advantage of others’ absence to offer attentiveness to the master, indeed, rules were broken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Zi Yue’s expression became more severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me what happened!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat down, weary-faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Alas, with the master’s noble status, the abundance of palace attendants in Duanning Palace, incidents are inevitable, that’s universal!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huan Chun turned, kneeling before Zi Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sobbing as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Zi Yue, you knew this servant came to run errands this morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Afterwards, you went to select dishes for the master, and Sister Zi Su went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and hadn’t returned!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The master’s side was momentarily unattended!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The master called for someone in the corridor, and this servant coincidentally passed by, so I stepped forward to ask if the master had any instructions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was truly a coincidence, please, Sister Zi Yue, understand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she started kowtowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crashing against the ground, as if her forehead didn’t belong to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Zi Yue breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s how it was!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not a big deal, Zi Su, you’re making too much fuss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su disagreed somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, look at her attire?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Either wearing a fresh flower, or an ornate hairpin, and often made up, more elaborate than us who serve directly beside the master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surely, harboring something!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yue hurried to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t speak nonsense! Everyone has a love for beauty, she’s just a young girl, what would she know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1193,"2026-05-30T07:41:22.096Z","2026-06-01T04:30:40.316Z",1,"novelbin.me","7419ca158d266b9587f1b8e6a349a6ea17d23d5d0b1fc2e878796d0c7ce259a7","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-841","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-839",1204,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-cover.jpg"]
