Qingyan made several pots of the same colorful cakes in the kitchen. She selected thirty-five different flavors of colorful cakes and put them into boxes, and then put every five pieces into a box, for a total of seven boxes. , and this box is also an exquisite box from the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion.
All the flowers engraved on it were Zhongli Jingshu's favorite flowers. Qingyan had put a lot of thought into giving gifts. Looking at the prepared food box, Qingyan smiled and curled her lips.
"Keep these for me. Tomorrow will be the 14th. Don't make any mistakes." Qingyan looked at them and told them seriously, "This is my birthday gift to Princess Wenxuan."
"Understood." The people in the kitchen looked at Qingyan and said respectfully.
"Miss, what should I do with the remaining pastries? It seems that the taste of each pot is different." Zi Zhu looked at Qing Yan and said seriously.
Qingyan looked at Zi Zhu and nodded seriously, "This colorful cake takes a lot of time and effort. Since we have prepared so much today, we might as well relax a little bit, including my aunt, Min'er, and my parents." Qingyan dusted herself off as she said this, "I will save a few flavors for the prince to send to him when the time comes. The palace will also prepare a portion to send to the mother and concubine. By the way, there will also be a portion for drinking." Qingyan Watch them give instructions seriously.
It wasn't until Qingyan thought of Princess Chunyuan that she shook her head helplessly, "And prepare one for Princess Chunyuan, and give her share to Liu Shang." Qingyan turned her head and looked at Yao Jie. He asked with a serious face.
"My subordinate understands."
"That's good. I'm going to take a rest first. If nothing happens later, you can just wait until dinner and call me."
"good!"
According to what Qingyan said, everyone in the general's residence received this gift. Su Yun and Luo Bing did not expect that Qingyan could have such skills, but they knew that Qingyan seemed to have many hidden things about them. They didn't know the secret, but Qingyan didn't want to talk about it, so they could only act like they didn't know.
Liu Shang's share was sent by Yaoji himself, and Murong Jingxuan's share was sent by Yanmei, and he also asked Murong Jingxuan to send the remaining Qilian Yuran's share to the palace by Murong Jingxuan. go.
When Qilian Yuran opened the food box, she immediately covered her mouth. This was her favorite colorful cake, and it was also Qingyan's best pastry.
"Mother, why are you so excited when you see this pastry?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen, who was sitting aside, looked at Qi Lian Yuran and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with this pastry?"
Qilian Yuran looked at him and shook his head helplessly, "What are you talking about? How could Yan'er harm me?" Qilian Yuran said, taking out a piece and putting it in his mouth, "My mother-in-law has just not tasted this for many years and asked ”
Listening to Qilian Yuran's words, Xuanyuan Yuzhen also reached out and took out a piece and tasted it. The pastry seemed to have a faint fragrance, and it melted in the mouth. When it slowly went in along the throat, it felt... A cool breath came.
"Mother and concubine, I have never eaten cakes like this before." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Qilian Yuran and said with endless aftertaste, "This cake is really delicious."
Qilian Yuran looked at Murong Jingxuan and said with a smile, "Yes, this pastry was once a tribute at a banquet in Nanchen Palace. It was only used to entertain distinguished guests. Of course you have never used it."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen frowned as he listened to Qilian Yuran's words. Since it was a tribute at the Nanchen Kingdom's palace banquet, why would Qingyan make such a delicious tribute? Isn't this incredible
"Fourth, what are you thinking about?" Qilian Yuran looked at the entranced Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said calmly, "Don't worry, maybe it's just that wonderful."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen came back to his senses after listening to Qilian Yuran's words. He seemed to have not heard clearly what Qilian Yuran said just now, "Mother Concubine, what did you just say?"
Qilian Yuran looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yuzhen's face and shook his head helplessly, "Fourth, don't worry, Yan'er will not harm me. The child's temperament is really like her. Maybe everything is hidden. There must be destiny in the dark."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen naturally understood who the person Qilian Yuran was talking about. Sometimes he could feel that Qilian Yuran treated Qingyan as if he were treating his own relatives, but he also knew that Qilian Qingyan was no longer here. It wouldn't be a bad idea if his mother-in-law could continue to be so happy.
"Mother and concubine, I have no doubts about Yan'er." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Qilian Yuran and said calmly, "But there are really other secrets hidden in Yan'er."
Qilian Yuran said and held Xuanyuan Yuzhen's hand, "Fourth, I hope you won't doubt Yan'er in the future. Even if anyone will betray you, I believe Yan'er will never betray you."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen had never thought about this problem. He looked at the solemn expression on Qilian Yuran's face and said, "Concubine, what are you worried about? I have never doubted Yan'er. If that's the case, how can I be worthy of Jing?" Where is Xuan."
Qilian Yuran let go of Xuanyuan Yuzhen's hand as he spoke, "That's right."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the worried expression on Qilian Yuran's face and held her hand, "Concubine, don't worry, but whatever happens to Yan'er, I will stand up. If I really can only watch If she is happy, then I am willing to protect her and will not harm her."
Qilian Yuran opened her eyes wide after listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words. She never thought that Xuanyuan Yuzhen would be attracted to Su Qingyan, especially in such a situation. But according to Qingyan's character, how could she possibly marry Su Qingyan? Where is the prince? After all, what she yearns for is the kind of loyal love that lasts "a lifetime of two people."
"Fourth brother, you will be my elder brother in this life." Qilian Yuran said and patted Xuanyuan Yuzhen on the shoulder, "By the way, tomorrow is Princess Wenxuan's birthday, so you can help my mother choose a gift to give to her. , it is inconvenient for the mother and concubine to leave the palace."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen nodded seriously after listening to Qilian Yuran's words, "I understand."
He thought that the princess who came from afar that Emperor Hongjia mentioned to him before should arrive at Diqiu after the Lantern Festival. Although Emperor Hongjia did not want Xuanyuan Yuzhen to receive her, the Princess Weisheng of Nanchen Kingdom However, Yan asked Xuanyuan Yuzhen to receive the princess by name.
"Concubine, Wei Shengjunyan asked me to receive the princess by name. What should I do?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Qilian Yuran and said seriously, "I know that Concubine Mother doesn't like that Qilian family member. Human, so now I want to ask mother and concubine how to deal with this?"
