Synopsis:
Although the emperor had abdicated in the late Qing and early Republican periods, the Forbidden City is still a small court of monarchs and ministers. After being a palace maid, the female daughter Yung Er Yin and Yang made a connection with the guard Li Qi, and she was favored by Pu Yi for her intelligence and liveliness. Ronger was appreciated by Aunt Shouxi for her understanding of cooking skills, and Shouxi accepted her children to teach her cooking skills. The eunuch Sun Liren framed Shouxi to steal the treasures in the palace. Rong Er was unwilling to die unjustly, and investigated with Li Qi. The thief robbed the man again, but fortunately Puyi rescued him to save his life. The two confessed to Pu Yi that Sun Liren was executed. As everyone celebrated Shouxi’s injustice, Feng Yuxiang’s army drove Pu Yi out of the Forbidden City. The eunuch chief Yu Defu emerged behind the scenes, and his attempt to transfer the treasures in the palace to foreign merchants was broken by Rong’er. Ronger and Li Qi joined forces to recover the national treasure, allowing Yudefu to receive the due punishment. [2] Rong’er, who left the palace, opened a restaurant, known as the “last chef .”
