Actually, this cake is not difficult to make at all, because some time ago, Wen Hui wanted to eat baked bread and other things, so she drew a picture and asked people to make an oven. Now there are ovens, eggs, flour, sesame oil, honey and other things, all of which are available at home, just let the cook do it according to the method given by Wen Hui. After a while, it really came out with a soft and delicious cake, because the mold in Wen Hui's house is very exquisite, so the appearance of this cake is still very good-looking. There are stars in the shape of flowers, there are clouds in the shape of clouds, and even birds and dogs are shaped.

This look is much better than the one that Wan Guifei made yesterday. Wen Hui asked people to show it to the Bai family, and the Bai family appreciated it very much, and asked the red carp to find the exquisite eight-treasure food box, put it in it, and sent it to the palace.

This cake entered the Zhongcui Palace, and the imperial concubine opened the food box to see that it was really a cake, but it was better than the one made by Wan Guifei. Sticky one ate it, and the taste was really good.

The imperial concubine smiled slightly, this delicious thing is the death knell of Wan Guifei.

The imperial concubine asked Yu'er to carry it, and went to the Qinzheng Hall where the emperor was working in all directions. When she arrived at the door of the main hall, Yu'er beside the imperial concubine said to the little eunuch: "Please tell the emperor a word to the father-in-law, the imperial concubine is here." ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to slack off, so he was busy reporting it. As soon as the emperor heard that the imperial concubine was coming, he hurriedly asked him to come in.

The imperial concubine came in with a smile on her face, saluted, and the emperor stepped down from the throne and said to the imperial concubine: "Why did the concubine come to my Qinzheng Palace today?" ”

The imperial concubine said: "In the past few days, I have heard from the father-in-law around the emperor that the emperor has been working on state affairs in recent days. So. The concubine boiled the yam and red date syrup to replenish the body. I hope to make up for the emperor. ”

The emperor was very happy and said, "Well, I still think about the concubine, bring it up quickly, I just want to eat something." ”

The imperial concubine said, "Oh, the emperor is hungry?" It just so happened that the concubine's niece, Lord Wen Hui, thanked the concubine for giving her embroidery girls and sent her the pastries. The concubine tasted it. It's really delicious, thinking that the emperor also likes to eat this, and this is very good with sugar water, so I brought it, Yu'er, put it on quickly. ”

Saying this, the emperor was also a little curious, Lord Wen Hui is not an ordinary person, and I don't know if this pastry is also different. Wait until the pastries and syrup are served. The emperor first saw the sugar water, which was served in a bowl of jade. The color is transparent, white yams, red dates, wolfberries, white fungus, lotus seeds, and I can't help but nod. Seeing Yu'er stretch out her hand and open the food box, the emperor was stunned for a moment.

What is this? There are five pieces of pastry on the white jade plate, some in the shape of plum blossoms, some in the shape of stars, some in the shape of a circle, and the most lovely thing is that there is a small fish. Such a beautiful pastry also exudes a tangy aroma that makes you want to eat it as soon as you smell it.

The emperor said, "Is this a cake?" ”

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Yes, it's the cake." Originally, I thought that only the sister of the concubine would do this, but who knows, my niece Lord Wenhui will also do it. She also told me that she made a delicious thing, and she still wanted to make money from it? How do you know that when I saw the concubine in the palace yesterday, I was so depressed, it seems that this thing is not something she can do alone, but someone else will, in this way, how can she open a store and make money. Your Majesty, you say it's funny or not, Wen Hui, this child is already the richest little girl in the world, and she still thinks about making money every day, really, where is it like a girl from a family, it's like a child of a businessman. ”

After saying that, he laughed.

The emperor didn't smile and asked, "This cake was thought up by Wen Hui herself?" ”

The imperial concubine looked at Emperor Yan Sù nervously, but she didn't care, and said, "Where can she come up with it herself?" She learned it from a book. Oh, I remembered, I asked her yesterday, and she said that it was a book left by Emperor Guanglie of the previous dynasty, and there were many things on it, among which was the recipe for this cake. By the way, there is also the practice of perfume, I said how the perfume in my third brother's house is so good, and the feelings are the recipe left by Emperor Guanglie. ”

The imperial concubine said disappreliantly, but the emperor's expression became more and more gloomy: "How can it be so coincidental, why can Wen Hui and the concubine make this thing?" ”

The imperial concubine said: "I said the same thing yesterday, what a coincidence. However, it should be thought about, this thing was invented by Emperor Guanglie, and it is not a big deal that the concubine sister in the palace will make it, which means that this thing should be enjoyed by the royal family, I sue sù Wenhui, don't think about making money with this pastry anymore, this should be enjoyed by the royal family, not something sold to the common people. Why is a big girl's family thinking about money all day long? ”

The emperor said with a gloomy face, "Emperor Guanglie? ”

At this time, the imperial concubine seemed to have just seen the emperor's face bad, and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty?" What's wrong with you? Why is your face so bad, but is there anything uncomfortable in your body? Do the concubines want to call the imperial doctor to come in to check the pulse? ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need, I see that I am a little tired, I want to take a rest, concubine, go back, another day, I will go to Zhongcui Palace to see you." ”

When the imperial concubine heard this, she knew that the emperor was driving her away, so she hurriedly said: "Yes, the emperor, please take care of the dragon body, and the concubine has retired." ”

The emperor nodded, watched the imperial concubine walk out, and said to the father-in-law of Laiqing beside him: "Go, call me to come to Huangchun." ”

Coming to Qing was busy, and the emperor was silent in front of this plate of cakes alone.

After a while, Huang Chun came in and saluted the emperor. The emperor said, "Huang Chun, what do you look at this?" ”

Huang Chun glanced at it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the slave looks like a cake made by the noble concubine." Doesn't the emperor like to eat it the most? ”

The emperor whispered, "You saw this cake many years ago, when you were still in the prince's mansion, right?" ”

Huang Chun's face changed and said, "Your Majesty, the slave has seen the emperor use this pastry in that person's courtyard before. ”

The emperor reminisced and said, "Yes, at that time, I liked to eat this cake very much. She's so delicious. I haven't eaten this cake since she left. I once asked the people in the Imperial Dining Room to study it, but the people in the Imperial Dining Room couldn't do it. Later, the concubine made it, and I felt that this was providence. Why does the concubine look like her, and her mind is as clever as her, and she will make this cake. ”

Huang Chun didn't say anything.

After the emperor was half-loud, he said: "But, today, this cake was not made by the concubine?" ”

Huang Chun hurriedly said: "So it was made by the people in the imperial dining room?" “

The emperor said, "Where can the fools of the imperial dining room make it?" This was made by the newly sealed county lord of Wen Hui to pay filial piety to the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine sent it to me to eat. ”

Huang Chun's face changed: "Why is Lord Wenhui so smart that he can make this cake?" ”

The emperor said, "Why is she so smart, I told you before that she is the descendant of Emperor Guanglie. ”

Huang Chun said: "Yes, this slave personally took someone to check. Lord Wenhui was given a book written by Emperor Guanglie. There are no big deals, they are all strange things, such as a shampoo basin, a rocking chair, delicious food, women's perfume and the like. Lord Wen Hui is very smart and makes a lot of money with this. By the way, and how to hatch poultry. It is also patented. It seems that the patent was also proposed by Emperor Guanglie. Xiao Chen's family was very loyal, and they got so much money for patents, most of which was handed over to the imperial court. ”

The emperor said, "Lord Wenhui learned the cake recipe from Emperor Guanglie's book. No wonder she made this thing back then, because this was invented by her ancestors, and I think about it, this thing is nothing in their family, but we haven't seen it. ”

Huang Chun's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a possibility, and his face changed greatly.

The emperor looked at Huang Chun and said, "You also thought of it, didn't you?" This thing, when Emperor Guanglie invented it, it was not circulated, but the winner knew about it. So, she'll get this. Later, the heir of Emperor Guanglie, Lord Wenhui will also do it, because Emperor Guanglie's book teaches. But, Wan Guifei, how could she do it? She was born in the market and her family was poor, how could she have such a pastry enjoyed by the nobles of the court? ”

Huang Chun had a gloomy face and did not speak.

The emperor said with some self-deprecation: "I am a wise person, how can I not understand that there is something wrong with Concubine Wan's background." In the past, as long as I saw Wan Guifei's face that looked like her, I thought of her, felt sorry for her, and thought about making up for it on Wan Guifei, so even if I had doubts, I chose not to pay attention to it. This is self-deception. It turned out that she had always been around me, she knew me a qiē, and she arranged a lot of means in the capital. For example, Wan Guifei, for example, Tian Minyi. ”

Huang Chun boldly said: "Your Majesty, this matter should be left to the servants to investigate." ”

The emperor's face changed and he said: "Of course I want to check, I called you over, and I want you to check on Wan Guifei's qiē." You're going to tell me everything, and by the way, my clever third son. How can you not be smart? He has the royal blood of two dynasties. ”

Huang Chun's color changed greatly, but he didn't dare to say anything, bowed his head and left.

The emperor was left stunned to face the cake, as if the white jade plate was not filled with a cake, it was a stunning beauty, the emperor's face became soft, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he was slowly filled with tears.

The emperor kept looking at this pastry, the sky was dark, the hall was lit with lights, and the emperor still did not change his posture.

Father-in-law Laiqing was a little scared, and boldly said, "Your Majesty, do you want to rest?" ”

The Emperor nodded and said, "It's time to rest." (To be continued......)
