act in a play with me..."Xinting Hou spoke in a low voice for a long time, and the Emperor nodded repeatedly.Then, the two little eunuchs who had just returned to the corridor didn't even have time to...Soon, most people were given a piece of cake.
Of course, there were too many people. Besides the main table, all the other cakes on the tables weren't big. One person just scooped a bite and that was enough.
Adults just try something fresh, they'll know what it tastes like and that's enough. But children are delighted.
The cream is so sweet and soft, it's like biting into a cloud in the sky. It's truly amazing!
Just like dragon and phoenix twins, these little ones also have mouths that look like they have white beards. They dance around waving their arms and legs, constantly opening and closing their mouths to grab food.
Just at this moment, Manager Yi actually brought the Emperor's reward.
The Emperor's originally prepared jewelry had been replaced as compensation because the Empress had mistreated Jia Yin.
This time, the emperor, perhaps having heard that Jia Yin was studying medicine, bestowed upon her two sets of gold needles, two sets of silver needles, two boxes of precious medicinal herbs, and some herb seeds.
Jia Yin and the crowd quickly knelt down and kowtowed to show their gratitude. They also invited Yi, the steward, to join them for a meal, but he refused.
"Thank you for your kind invitation, County Princess, but this old servant still needs to rush back to attend to the Emperor. I will definitely drink with you at another opportunity."
Jia Yin also knew that he staying would make everyone uncomfortable, so she asked the Marquis, "Father, can you bring a small cake to my uncle"
The lord nodded in agreement, replying, "Very well. Please have Master Yi personally take it back."
Yi Zongguan didn't know what a cake was, but he figured it must be a new kind of dessert. He laughed and said, "This is great! The emperor doesn't eat much for breakfast, so I'll take it back and serve it to him as an afternoon snack."
Tao Hongying quickly brought Mr. Yi into the house. There were a few extra small cakes left in the house, prepared for her own children, and one was also brought back for Old Master Liu to try.
Yi Zongtang casually picked one and carefully placed it into the lunchbox. Only then did he smile and bid farewell.
Li Lao'er saw him off to the car and inevitably stuffed a little bit of hardship money into his hands.
The Emperor personally sent a congratulatory gift, which excited everyone for a while before they resumed drinking.
We ate until the sun began to set before we finally parted.
The front yard was bustling, so Jia Yin took her brothers to play in the backyard.
Jiarren took out a pearl dog, strung together like beads, about half the size of a palm. It had a goose-yellow tassel, very delicate and cute.
He personally helped his younger sister fasten the pearl necklace around her waist. “This pearl necklace was brought back from the south by Brother Yi before, and we pooled our money to have it crafted at a silversmith’s shop. What do you think”
Good sound is something that belongs to a dog, and it's also a gift sent by the brothers. There's nothing not to like!
She happily hugged her brothers one by one, making Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er blush with embarrassment.
They were young and had no plan for spending their money. Remembering that their younger sister's birthday was coming up, they realized that they only had a few dozen copper coins left from this month's allowance.
This gift, supposedly sent by the big brother with the two of them, was actually mostly paid for by the big brother.
Zhi Min and Xiu Jie also laughed and took out a pair of white, fluffy kitten plushies. They were unsure what kind of fur they were made of, but they felt very soft to the touch.
Jia Yin also liked it very much and kept it by her side, but after a while, the little fox snatched it away.
I wonder if it considers me a companion...
Li Jia Tong Shu Yuan gets along well, the children can take leave easily, but they should also consider the feelings of other students and not run home too frequently.
So, they played for a while longer, but then Jia Ren and the others were going to head back with Mr. Peng first.
As for Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru, they could stay for another night. After all, Wu Sannvzi and Da Zhu's wife were already experienced at this, so they could hold out for a day or two.
After all the guests had left, Li's courtyard was quiet again.
A family chatted and laughed together warmly. At a quiet moment, Jiahuan secretly gave her younger sister a piece of agate.
The stone wasn't very big, about the size of Jia Yin's palm. What was remarkable was that this stone looked remarkably like braised pork, seven points out of ten.
Jia Yin held the red-braised pork stone with a mixture of amusement and bewilderment.
Her image as a foodie is deeply ingrained in people's minds...
Without mentioning the bustling Li family, let's just say that in the Imperial Study of the Forbidden City, the Emperor sent off the last minister. He rubbed his temples tiredly.
Yi Zongtang quickly poured the tea, carefully holding it forward.
The emperor recalled what had happened before and asked, "Have you been to the Li family's residence"
Yi Zong replied promptly, "Your Majesty, I have been there. The County Princess's birthday was quite lively. However, the guests were all villagers from nearby villages and old soldiers and wounded soldiers who had been settled by the Marquis. Liu Zhiheng and his wife, as well as Wen Yushi and his wife, were also present."
"The Li family is slaughtering pigs and sheep, the smell of food wafts from their yard. Even I'm getting hungry just smelling it. If I wasn't thinking about the Emperor, I really would go beg for a bite to eat."
The Emperor couldn't help but laugh, "You old servant, I kept you waiting to eat! But the Li family's food is indeed good. It might not be as delicate as the palace's, but it's more palatable."
"That's right," Manager Yi chuckled, his eyes crinkling further. "The County Princess heard that the Emperor was very busy today and insisted that I bring him a slice of cake back, saying that if the Emperor got hungry, it could tide him over."
"Oh What kind of cake or pastry is it" the Emperor inquired curiously.
Yi Zong immediately motioned for the little eunuch to bring up the cake box, and smiled: "Your Majesty guessed right, it's a new dessert that the County Princess has come up with. It is said that it can only be eaten on her birthday."
The emperor took a silver hairpin, scooped out a mouthful of cream, and it melted in his mouth instantly.
He took another bite of the cake base, which was also soft and sweet, and he closed his eyes happily.
As an emperor, one is indeed the most honorable person in the world.
But there are also too many things he is not free to do, such as his extreme love for sweets, which he cannot express or let others know.
Because any preference, at any moment, could become a weapon in the hands of others!
Just like the cake in front of him, no matter how much he liked it, he could only eat a few bites...
Luckily, Yi Zuo had served his master for many years, and with a quick glance, he guessed the situation.
Thus, he spoke loudly: "Your Majesty, these leftovers are wasted. Grant them to this old slave as well, so I can have a taste of sweetness."
He immediately stepped forward and shielded the emperor with his body.
The eunuch at the door didn't dare to raise his head, and even if he did, he would only see Yi the steward eating happily.
They had no idea that Manager Yi was just eating air, while the cake all went into the emperor's mouth.
A cake, as big as a palm, was eaten by the emperor with satisfaction. “Funiu’er also said that she would settle accounts with me, this partner of hers, at the end of the year. If the pastry shop sells this... Baiyunning Cake, business will probably be booming.”
Yi Zongguan hurriedly bent over and replied, "The old slave thanks His Majesty on behalf of the county princess. The county princess must be very happy. When the county princess earns some silver, she might even bestow a little bit of good fortune on the old slave."
The emperor laughed even harder, "You're a real money-lover, aren't you"
Just then, the third princess came again to deliver refreshments.
She inquired specifically, learned that the court official had left and her father was not busy at the moment. He must want to have some snacks, and perhaps in a good mood, he might even send her back to Kunning Palace.
To her misfortune, she was cut off again!
Seeing the empty plate in front of her father, it was clear he had just eaten some snacks. She could no longer contain her anger and shouted at Yi Guan, "You dog slave! How did you give my father snacks"
