After returning to the room, Qing Huan asked Zi Jin Zipei to stare outside, and carefully locked the doors and windows, and quickly put the flowers into the space, those wilted leaves like frost, gradually regained a trace of vitality, Qing Huan knew that there must be a rescue, so he was overjoyed, and took some water from the pool and watered them and put them in the space, waiting for a complete recovery.

The next day, Qing Huan really handed over the post to go to King Xuan's Mansion, and when he was about to get into the carriage and leave, Zhao just came out, and when he saw it, he said in a weird way: "The sparrow has become a phoenix, and now the third lady has really picked up the high branches and flown away." ”

Qing Huan replied politely: "It doesn't matter if it's a sparrow or a phoenix, the important thing does fly to the high branches, and the pheasant doesn't have that fate!" ”

Zhao was stunned for a moment, realizing that Qing Huan was scolding her around the corner, and just as he wanted to get angry, he saw that Qing Huan's carriage had already gone far away.

Qing Huan arrived at King Xuan's Mansion and unexpectedly found that Lin Wanyue was also there, since the last time she saw her at the flower viewing party, she hurriedly went over to say hello: "Sister Wanyue is really delicate, it's rare to see it once, and I didn't see anyone come out when I went to invite her after the post." ”

Lin Wanyue immediately blushed, and said a little shyly: "My sister is teasing me again, now my mother is becoming more and more strict, and I am practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with my husband at home all day long, if it weren't for Sister Yufei's post, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come out." ”

Qing Huan smiled and said, "I really envy you." ”

Shangguan Yufei said again: "My mother is also nagging every day, I really have no choice, just hide if you can." A few of them laughed again.

Qing Huan looked around a few more times without a trace.

Shangguan Yufei hurriedly said, "Are you looking for You'er?" He was originally here, and I also wanted to see what ideas you gave me, whether I could please the imperial grandmother, who knew that Qingyang was looking for him, and he went out again when he had something to do! ”

Lin Wanyue didn't think much about it, but echoed and said: "That's it, the prince and Sister Yufei have a good relationship, so naturally they are also very concerned about the gifts that my sister wants to give." ”

Shangguan Yufei didn't reply to her, but said without a beginning or an end: "I don't know what's wrong with him, I've been sullen these days, I don't say anything when I ask him, I'm still very busy, and I can't see a figure every day." ”

Qing Huan didn't speak, but Lin Wanyue continued: "I don't know if I'm hiding from the princess, I heard my mother say that the princess is quite a headache for the princess-to-be." ”

Shangguan Yufei: "Maybe, my mother is really ...... Alas, in fact, she has already acquiesced in the selection of the princess, why bother nagging in my ears and You'er every day, I see that she chooses the concubine with great fanfare, just to show me. ”

Lin Wanyue didn't digest Shangguan Yufei's mood too much, and then asked, "Acquiesced in the candidate?" It's the same ...... my sister said last time."

Shangguan Yufei nodded: "Eight or nine is not far from ten!" ”

Qing Huan's heart seems to have skipped a beat, the princess has already decided?

That's good! Even if it's Xiao Zhi, it doesn't matter if you lose it or not, after all, you can't get it. How much more so is him!

In this world, there are more people who look alike!

Qing Huan was still frowning, and her heart was also wrinkled into a mess, where was she in the mood to care about other things?

Shangguan Yufei pushed her and said, "Let's get down to business, hurry up and tell me what you think, I thought about many plans all night and felt inappropriate, and now I'm waiting for you." ”

Qing Huan beat his spirit and said, "Why don't you talk about it another day?" ”

Lin Wanyue was not happy, and hurriedly retorted to her, "It's rare that I'm here, I won't be able to see you another day, good sister, since you're here, you'll be tired." ”

Qing Huan was helpless, so she had to adjust her mood slightly and said, "Then I'll teach Sister Yufei to make a birthday cake." ”

"Birthday cake?" Shangguan Yufei and Lin Wanyue looked at each other, not knowing what Qing Huan was talking about.

"I've seen it recorded in the book," Qing Huan began to talk nonsense again: "There is a place where everyone has to buy a cake to eat when they celebrate their birthday, but most of the time it is given by relatives and friends, and the cake is a representative of the birthday." Now the queen mother's status is noble, my sister can make a big birthday cake, and then write blessings on it, it is not very troublesome, and it is not very valuable, it is rare that no one has done it here, the queen mother saw this for the first time, and her sister did it, and she must be happy. ”

Shangguan Yufei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she clapped her hands and asked, "Qinghuan, what you said is true?" ”

"Is there a small kitchen in my sister's yard?"

Shangguan Yufei said: "Yes, although it is not often used, but the application tools are still complete. ”

Qing Huan: "That's good, find a few more cooks to help, I'll make a smaller one for you first, and then you can make a big one again on the same day!" ”

Shangguan Yufei hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, I have to try to practice in the past few days, and I must not be ashamed on the birthday of the imperial grandmother." ”

Lin Wanyue was also very curious, wanting to see what this cake looked like.

Qing Huan talked about the ingredients, and Shangguan Yufei hurriedly wrote them down one by one with a pen, and then instructed his subordinates to prepare. When everything was ready, Qing Huan talked about the general process according to the steps done in modern times and started to move, because there were a few people to help together, it was done quickly, but at this time, she still thought that if the Queen Mother's birthday made people know the cake, she might as well open a cake shop in the capital, the only one, the famous families in the capital are the most short of silver, and I don't know how much money she can make when the time comes, she was moved just thinking about it, so she said to Shangguan Yufei and Lin Wanyue: "Although this cake is not complicated, it is a new thing after all, I plan to open a cake shop in the capital after the Queen Mother's birthday, do you think it's feasible? ”

Shangguan Yufei said: "You are a young lady, how can you show up and make a living like that? ”

Even Lin Wanyue nodded yes.

"Sister, listen to me, although there is a strict hierarchy here, and the status of the city's farmers, businessmen, and merchants is low, but I'm not afraid of others saying, who still thinks they make less money?"

After hearing this, Shangguan Yufei said: "It's too normal to open a shop to do business, but it is generally a livelihood in the mansion, like our palace, there are also some shops that operate, no matter who it is, how prominent it looks, it always needs money to do things at critical moments, but there are very few boudoir daughters who do this." However, you have always thought differently from everyone else, if the imperial grandmother likes your cake, and your cake shop will be opened in the future, and my sister will definitely give a big gift. ”

Qing Huan was grateful to Shangguan Yufei, thinking that there were not many aristocratic women like her who could have such a mind, so she said: "That's really thank you sister, if you have the help of the big county lord, this business will feel hot when you think about it." ”

Lin Wanyue said with a smile: "Sister Yufei, looking at her appearance, the whole person has fallen into the eyes of money." ”

Qing Huan ignored her and said, "When the time comes, don't envy me." Several people laughed.

After the cake was ready, Qing Huan asked the two of them to taste it first, and the two of them took a small bite, only to feel that it was sweet to the heart, not to mention that it had a unique fragrance. Shangguan Yufei was suddenly full of confidence in the formation of the final cake.

"Okay, Sister Yufei, this is the first birthday cake we have made, on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, you get up as soon as possible and make a fresh one, replace the fruit with the Queen Mother's favorite food, put a few more, and match the colors." In the past few days, you have to prepare some candles, which should be more detailed, and when the cake is served, the candles will be inserted and lit, so that the birthday star can make a wish on the candle. ”

Lin Wanyue couldn't help but be surprised: "Where did you see this?" Birthday and these famous halls? Have we not spent all these years in vain? ”

Qing Huan asked, "Can my sister say that she likes it or not?" ”

"Naturally, I like it, stay until my birthday, if your cake shop opens, you must give me one."

Qing Huan teased her: "My sister is not short of money, and she still wants to take advantage of her sister." ”

"That is, not only do you have to take advantage of you, but you also have to do it yourself. In this way, my sister looks forward to her birthday every year. ”

Shangguan Yufei frowned: "This cake is a novelty, but the imperial grandmother is the queen mother, will it be too simple?" ”

Qing Huan smiled and said, "My sister made it herself, how could the Queen Mother think it was simple?" Besides, a noble person like the Queen Mother doesn't lack anything, and other expensive gifts from my sister will make people feel perfunctory, even the queen knows to prepare Junzilan in advance. ”

"What you said is also true, on that day, I will replace the base of the cake with white jade, and make a lamppost with jade in the middle, and after the cake is eaten, this white jade lamppost can also accompany the imperial grandmother, and she will always remember the cake I made after seeing it."

Qing Huan secretly thought that he was really rich, a cake was actually made of expensive white jade as a tray, but who let the family be born in the royal family.

"Sister Qinghuan, when the imperial grandmother's birthday comes, the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely enter the palace, I haven't seen you in previous years, and you must go with you this year."

Qing Huan then thought that she was still the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Yufei, do I need to prepare a gift?" ”

Lin Wanyue, who was next to the sentence, also laughed: "Sister Yufei is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, so she is in a hurry to prepare gifts, you and I are the daughter of the foreign minister, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is naturally a congratulatory gift in the house, leave this matter to your stepmother, you just think about how to open a shop to make money, so that you can prepare a dowry for yourself," After speaking, Lin Wanyue quickly stood up and ran.

Qing Huan heard the meaning of Lin Wanyue's words, and hurriedly stepped forward to chase her: "Okay, you girl dare to make fun of me, see if I don't tear your mouth apart." ”

Lin Wanyue hurriedly ran to beg for mercy: "Sister, spare me, don't dare next time." ”

Shangguan Yufei also hurried over to persuade peace, and for a while, the courtyard was full of beautiful flowers and laughter.

Dowry, marriage! These things that Qing Huan had never considered suddenly came into her mind, and her mind once again overlapped the faces of Shangguan Yuyou and Xiao Zhi.

He said that he begged his mother to agree to her, but she refused.

But if one day, seeing him dressed in red, with a tall head, smiling and marrying another girl, what kind of mood should she have?

Qing Huan often couldn't even tell who that man was, but suddenly felt at this moment that she was finished! From that day when she was robbed and saw him come to save her, when he took her to make an identical necklace overnight, when she came out of Qingling Temple and saw his anxious eyebrows, to now when she heard that the princess had been timed, she knew that something had quietly changed!

But how sincere can Shangguan Yuyou be to her? Even if there were, how much determination could there be? In addition to the princess, even the side concubines have two places, not to mention the unlimited concubine aunts, can she get a fraction of him?

Can she really have the courage to fight for it?
