Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 254 Gong Yuanzheng 41

Gong Shangjiao: "If you like it, go ask the people in the kitchen to teach you."

"Thank you, Young Master Jiao."

Shangguan Qian thought it would be good to learn how to make this dessert, and the young master seemed to really enjoy it.

Qingyue, Gong Zishang, and Ye Zihan arrived at a pavilion.

Jin Wu and Jin Fan stood guard to the side.

Gong Zishang was very curious about the sweet cake: "What was that sweet cake? I want to eat it too."

Qingyue called out to Jinwu, "Jinwu, go to the kitchen and get one portion. Make a few extra."

"Yes!"

Jin Wu accepted the order and went to retrieve it.

Gong Zishang sighed, "Sigh, I also made a dessert for Jin Fan, but unfortunately he didn't appreciate it at all."

Upon hearing what Gong Zishang had done, Jin Wu and Ye Zihan's lips twitched.

Even a dog would vomit from smelling it, let alone eat it.

That's no different from eating charcoal.

Seeing Ye Zihan's reaction, Qingyue raised her eyebrows, thinking that this young lady's cooking skills were indeed well-deserved.

"You have other talents, why bother to achieve something in a field you're not good at?"

Gong Zishang looked at Qing Yue expectantly: "What talents do I have?"

Qingyue: "I've heard that Miss has achieved considerable success in weapon making. Why do you keep denying yourself?"

"People rarely discover their own strengths. It's truly remarkable that Miss has been able to spontaneously develop this talent. She should make good use of it."

Ye Zihan nodded in agreement: "Yes, sister, Sister Song is right."

"Do you really think so?" Gong Zishang's usually frivolous expression calmed down.

Qingyue and Ye Zihan nodded at the same time. What Gong Zishang lacked was recognition. Once she had that, her mindset would change.

Suddenly, Gong Zishang gave a bitter smile.

“I am the Palace Master of the Shang Palace, but this position is only temporary.”

Qingyue and Ye Zihan listened quietly; she needed a listener right now.

“My mother died early, and my father remarried and had a son named Shang. He is still young, and my father is bedridden. I am the only heir who can take charge.”

"Because I am a woman, even if I obtain the position of Palace Master of the Shang Palace, it will only be a position on behalf of my younger brother."

“I have never been able to gain my father’s approval, and my research has been inconsistent, sometimes successful and sometimes not.”

"No matter how much we do, it's useless; this achievement is completely insignificant."

Even the person she likes doesn't like her. It's because she keeps pestering him that he's annoying, and he's made sure the whole palace knows. All he thinks about is Jin Fan.

After saying that, Gong Zishang's smile became even more bitter.

Jin Fan glanced at her silently, then lowered his eyes.

Qingyue tapped her finger on the table: "If you don't even respect yourself, then no one else will."

Gong Zishang: "Sometimes, a person's greatest advantage lies in self-awareness."

"That's true."

It depends on the situation. Self-awareness isn't applicable to everything. If everyone had so much self-awareness, how could they have studied so hard and achieved success in the imperial examinations?

And how did someone go from being someone everyone could step on to someone high above others?

Although such people are extremely rare, their advantage lies in their lack of self-awareness. They refuse to accept their fate and insist on showing others just how high they can climb.

Ye Zihan patted Gong Zishang's hand: "Sister, you've gone down a dead end."

"I know, but I can't get over it right now," Gong Zishang said with a forced smile.

She knew this better than anyone else, so she was secretly working hard, preparing for a comeback.

If she can't develop a better weapon, she'll stay in this dead end until the very end; but if she does, she'll break through the dead end and reach the next level.

Even a woman who becomes the palace master is no ordinary person.

Jin Wu placed the lunchboxes on the table, and the three women ate and chatted.

Gong Zishang would occasionally try to seduce Jin Fan, and even tried to feed Jin Fan herself. Fortunately, Jin Fan was upright and unyielding and did not let her succeed.

Qingyue admired Gong Zishang's courage. For ten years, he pursued Jin Fan relentlessly, never wavering despite the other party's cold words. His love was profound.

If it were her, she would cut her losses in time. Even if the other party cared about her even a little bit, she wouldn't stick to that person.

...

in the cave.

Upon seeing that the guide was Elder Yue, Gong Yuanzheng's expression turned indifferent.

Elder Yue was still scolding him for not waiting for Gong Ziyu and for coming in first. The two of them waited for a while before Gong Ziyu arrived.

Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Ziyu had their eyes covered with black cloth.

After walking for a while, Gong Ziyu stopped and asked, "Are we taking a detour?"

Gong Yuanzheng rolled his eyes speechlessly. How stupid! But he didn't say anything, letting him and Elder Yue each praise him and humbly accept the compliment.

Elder Yue would seize any opportunity to praise Gong Ziyu, even if his words were so foolish, he would still find a way to praise him indirectly.

So disgusting.

We emerged from the dark mountain tunnel.

The blindfolds were removed, revealing a snow-covered mountain range; it was still snowing there.

This is the first trial of the Three Realms: the Snow Palace.

With a view in sight, Gong Yuanzheng didn't linger and headed towards the only intersection.

Halfway there, a child with long, icy blue hair was kneeling in the snow, cooking something.

On a nearby rock, a black-haired adult male was playing chess.

"Young Master Zheng."

Gong Yuanzheng bowed slightly to them: "How should I address you?"

The black-haired adult man spoke up: "My surname is Xue, the Xue of wind, flowers, snow and moon. Young Master Zheng can call me Young Master Xue."

The ice-blue-haired child kneeling on the ground said, "My name is Snow Child."

Gong Yuanzheng wrote everything down, still unaware of the nature of their assessment of him.

Remember what the lady said: he doesn't know anything about the people in the back mountain, so it's best to be polite.

Xue Tongzi secretly observed Gong Yuanzheng and found that he was not as rumored. However, they were just examiners, and as long as he passed, his personality was irrelevant to them.

He was very interested in the Izumo Lotus that Gong Yuanzheng was studying. He wondered how different it was from his snow lotus in appearance.

"Gong Yuanzheng, you left too quickly." Gong Ziyu arrived late.

Gong Yuanzheng: "I'm here to participate in the trial, not to go shopping. You like to look around and you walk slowly, why should I wait for you!"

Gong Ziyu clicked his tongue. He had never been here before, so wasn't it natural for him to be curious?

Snow Boy and Snow Prince led them into the house, giving each of them their own room.

Gong Yuanzheng put down his luggage and took out some food to eat. It was very different from what he had imagined. Fortunately, his wife had thought things through and prepared a lot for him.

"What are you eating? May I try some?"

Xue Gongzi looked at the beautiful pastries in Gong Yuanzheng's hand with curiosity and longing.

The food at Snow Palace isn't as plentiful as at the front of the mountain, and after eating the same few dishes for so many years, I'm already tired of it.

Gong Yuanzheng raised his chin: "Take it yourself, but don't take too much."

He had already eaten all of what his wife had made yesterday, all of which were made by the maids. He was not stingy with food made by others.
