Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“About 300 years ago, there was a Jiang Family that was famous for cooking food.”
“The Jiang Family started with restaurants and hotels.”
“Then they created a recipe that could cure diseases. The food made according to the recipe could cure diseases and fill the stomach.”
“The Jiang Family became famous because of this, and the Family Head was summoned to the palace by the royal family.”
“The head of the family at that time also wanted to use that opportunity to live a luxurious life in the future.”
“He told the truth to the Emperor.”
“The Jiang Family was supposed to have a special girl every generation.”
“As long as the food was cooked by this girl, it would always taste very good. Also, if one ate the food cooked by her for a long time, not only could one extend his or her life, but also became healthy and had no illnesses or disasters.”
Hearing this, Qin Zhenzhen’s eyes widened. The Jiang Family had many appearances in the original book. It was one of the supporting roles.
The Emperor’s mother, who was taken down by the male lead, was also from the Jiang Family.
Was Grandma telling the story of the Jiang Family?
But that was such a strange story.
Could it be that the spiritual water on her finger was not the benefits of transmigration, but an ancestral thing of the Jiang Family?
When she was transmigrating here, she accidentally activated it?
Qin Zhenzhen was very surprised, but she did not lose her composure in front of her grandma.
But Grandma Qin asked her, “Don’t you think that is strange?”
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “Compared to my and Fourth Brother’s experience , it is not that strange.”
“True.” Grandma Qin nodded and continued.
Initially, the Emperor was skeptical about the girl’s special talents, but the head of the Jiang Family convinced him to let her stay in the palace for a while. Over time, the Emperor became delighted with her culinary skills and eventually made her his concubine, revealing her true identity as the special chef.
The Jiang Family needed to move into the capital as well.
The Jiang Family was getting richer and richer by sending girls to the court. They were getting more and more influential.
With a girl by the Emperor’s side, any disciple of the Jiang Family who made it to the imperial examination would always get a good position.
But as time went by, the strange thing of special women appearing in every generation of the Jiang Family was suddenly stopped.
Luckily, the Jiang Family was doing the best in food and medicinal herbs as well as cooking.
The Jiang Family was still valued by the imperial family, even if there were no more extraordinary women in the future.
The Jiang Family and the Royal Family maintained a very nice relationship.
But from that moment on, when girls from the Jiang Family wanted to enter the palace, they did not need to rely on their special physique. They needed to rely on their own cooking skills.
Every now and then, the Jiang Family would hold a competition, and the winner would be sent to the palace.
Whether or not she could get the Emperor’s love depended on her own efforts and luck.
They knew that there were many beauties in the palace and it was very difficult to get the love from the Emperor. But the women from the Jiang Family were still fighting each other for the chance to take the place.
Grandma Qin was one of the sacrifices.
At that time, the Emperor doted on the Third Prince, who was sickly and weak. The Emperor had the intention to choose one girl from the Jiang Family as his concubine, believing that it would benefit his health. This decision caused a significant uproar among the girls of the Jiang Family.
She was sent to the palace as one of the many women of the Emperor. She was going to compete with the sisters who went into the palace first, and she was going to compete with the beauties to seduce the Emperor.
If she could not get pregnant with a prince, she would never be able to stand out.
After a few years, the Jiang Family would send new girls to the palace as to replace the unsuccessful ones.
But being a concubine was totally different.
Marrying into the family would grant her a much higher position and status..
