the next day.
Hua Manman woke up early in the morning.
She is going to make glutinous rice dumplings.
Siyun hurriedly said: "How can I let you do this kind of rough work? Just let the slaves come."
Hua Manman: "I promised to make glutinous rice dumplings for the prince, but I have to do it myself."
Otherwise, with King Zhao's petite character, he would definitely run this matter on her again, thinking that she was deliberately perfunctory.
Siyun thought that Hua Ruren was making desserts to please the prince, so he was overjoyed and quickly changed his mind.
"The servant girl will help you. See if there is anything the servant girl can do?"
Hua Manman: "Go pick some soybeans."
"Here!"
Siyun moved to the small pouf and began to carefully select soybeans.
Hua Manman took out the soaked red beans last night and boiled them into a pot of thick and sweet red bean paste.
When making glutinous rice dumplings, she stuffed some bean paste into each glutinous rice dumpling.
Siyun showed her the selected soybeans.
Hua Manman baked these soybeans on the stove until they were dry and crispy, and then ground them into fine soybean powder.
When the water in the pot boiled, she lowered the plump white glutinous rice balls into the water one by one.
After a while, she took out the cooked glutinous rice dumpling, sprinkled it with honey, and sprinkled it with a layer of soybean flour.
The advanced version of glutinous rice dumpling is ready!
Hua Manman ran to Zhao Wang with glutinous rice dumplings.
She said as if offering a treasure: "My lord, hurry up and try my concubine's craft."
Li Ji picked up a glutinous rice dumpling with chopsticks and ate it slowly.
He commented slowly on Shanghua Manman's expectant eyes.
"The taste is okay, but it's too sweet and a bit greasy."
The anticipation in Hua Manman's eyes was quickly extinguished, showing a look of disappointment, and soon he cheered up again.
"The concubine will think about it later, and I will definitely be able to make glutinous rice dumplings that suit the prince's taste!"
However, she was crazily complaining in her heart—
"The sixth prince thinks it's not sweet enough without bean paste, and you think it's too sweet and too greasy. You are harder to serve than Bodhisattvas!"
Li Ji: "..."
Li Ji chuckled: "Only children like to eat sweets."
Hua Manman heard the irony in his laughter.
She thought he was mocking her, and she immediately became upset, but she still had to pretend to be aggrieved.
"If the prince doesn't like sweets, I won't make desserts in the future."
After she finished speaking, she reached out to pick up the glutinous rice balls on the table and turned to leave.
Li Ji immediately stopped her: "What are you doing?"
Hua Manman whispered.
"You don't like sweets, you probably don't like glutinous rice dumplings either.
It would be a waste to put it here, why not give it to the sixth prince, he loves this kind of glutinous rice dumplings stuffed with red bean paste the most. "
Li Ji's expression suddenly became very exciting.
It seemed to be annoyed, but also disgusted, and there was a bit of sourness in it that was not easy to detect.
"You miss the sixth prince every day, why? You think the temple here is too small, and you plan to find another high branch?"
Hua Manman seemed to have been greatly wronged, her eyes turned red immediately.
"What did the lord say
Since I married you, I have treated you wholeheartedly, and you still doubt my concubine? ! "
After finishing speaking, without waiting for King Zhao to say anything else, she seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and ran out carrying glutinous rice balls.
However, before she ran out of the room, she was overtaken by King Zhao from behind.
This man is good at martial arts, and he was behind her in the blink of an eye.
Hua Manman strenuously pedaled on her two thin legs and ran forward, but found that she was still standing still.
She turned her head and saw that King Zhao had grabbed her back by the collar.
Li Ji stretched out his long arms, and snatched the glutinous rice dumpling in her hand.
Hua Manman wants to snatch it.
However, this man took advantage of his height and purposely raised the glutinous rice balls so high that she couldn't reach the plate even if she stood on tiptoe and stretched her arms.
She was so angry that she raised her small fist and beat him on the chest.
"My lord is bullying people!"
Since she practiced swordsmanship, her strength has become much stronger than before.
If it were an ordinary person, being beaten by her like this would definitely scream in pain.
Fortunately, Li Ji has practiced martial arts all year round and has internal strength to protect his body, so he doesn't feel much pain.
He stood there motionless, looking down at her and pretending to cry.
"Where are you going to take my glutinous rice dumpling? Are you going to give it to the sixth prince?"
Hua Manman beat him several times but failed to make him retreat, instead, under the reaction of force, she beat her own little meaty claws so painfully.
She retracted her paw resentfully, humming softly.
"You don't like sweets, don't you? Since you don't like them, I can give them to people who like them."
In fact, she wanted to secretly eat this plate of glutinous rice dumplings by herself.
Both the sixth prince and King Zhao disliked the glutinous rice dumplings she made were not tasty enough.
That being the case, they would never have the chance to eat the glutinous rice dumplings she made again.
Hmph, she is not used to them!
Hearing her heartfelt voice, Li Ji knew that the person she was talking about was herself, so the expression on her face softened a little.
As long as she's not looking for someone else.
Li Ji smiled lightly: "Although I don't like sweets, you made this specially for me, and I have to finish it no matter what."
Hua Manman curled her lips secretly, as if she was begging him to eat, and she was acting good when she got a bargain.
She pretended to be deeply moved, and said with tears in her eyes.
"My lord is really kind to my concubine. How many good deeds did I do in my previous life to be able to marry you in this life!"
The smile on Li Ji's face deepened: "Then you should do more good deeds in this life, so that we can get together in the next life."
Hua Manman nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"
She shook her head frantically in her heart, no no no! In the next life, let's not harm each other again!
Li Ji said he wanted to finish eating the glutinous rice dumplings, and he really ate up all the glutinous rice dumplings.
He said while drinking tea.
"Don't put bean paste next time."
Hua Manman asked, "How about putting black sesame seeds?"
Li Ji said yes.
Hua Manman tilted her head: "Then why don't we just eat glutinous rice balls?"
Li Ji: "..."
This very spiritual question left Master Li speechless.
In order to maintain his dignity as a master, Li Ji decided to turn passive into active and ask his soul.
"Have you finished your homework today?"
Hua Manman: "..."
Hua Manman: "Grass..."
Li Ji: "Huh?"
Hua Manman continued with difficulty: "Grass...is a kind of plant."
Li Ji crossed his hands on his knees and looked at her with a half-smile.
"Since you like grass so much, write an essay with grass today, no less than 300 words."
Hua Manman begged pitifully.
"But my concubine had a miscarriage, shouldn't she take a good rest?"
Li Ji asked back: "If you have a miscarriage, you still have to drink medicine. Do you drink it?"
Hua Manman: "..."
Drinking medicine or doing homework.
This is a question worth considering.
Hua Manman asked eagerly, "Can I not drink medicine or do my homework?"
Li Ji smiled slightly: "This king suggests that you do your homework while drinking the medicine."
Hua Manman: "..."
you are not human!
