Chapter 31: Birthday Cake

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and in the blink of an eye, the Hundred Flowers Festival is still two days away.

On this day, Xiaoguo crossed out the last number on the paper, and it was rare to have a mood called sorrow, it turned out that this day was the 28th day that Xiaoguo came to this world, and it happened to be Xiaoguo's birthday!

Xiaoguo remembered the scene of her birthday in previous years, when she was a child, every birthday, her grandfather would cook a table full of her favorite meals, as well as a bowl of hot braised pork rib noodles; Later, she gradually grew up, her grandfather fell ill when he was old, and the person who cooked was replaced by her, and her grandfather could hardly eat because of the torture of his illness, but with the company of his girlfriend and boyfriend, her birthday was still happy!

And now, grandpa has gone to another world, girlfriends and boyfriends have not only become a joke, but there is no possibility of seeing each other, and the most important thing - she is in a different world, and she can't even let others know her real birthday!

Is it true that you have lived in a false identity all your life? For the first time, Xiaoguo questioned the choice to live a comfortable life as a rice worm.

Xiaoguo was still thinking about her bizarre and tragic life, and Xiaobai jumped up and down beside her: "Queen Mother! The emperor praised me again today! ”

Xiaoguo cheered up and gave a thumbs up: "Xiaobai is so good!" ”

"That," Xiao Bai blinked his big eyes and looked at Xiao Guo expectantly, "Queen Mother, what are we going to eat at noon?" ”

Xiaoguo twisted his little nose and said with a smile: "Is it good to eat noodles?" ”

"Noodles?" Xiaobai thought of the pale and tasteless stuff in a ball, and climbed onto Xiaoguo's body with his hands and feet, twisting his body into a twist and swaying from side to side, "Queen Mother, I don't want to eat, change to other food, okay?" ”

Xiaoguo didn't patiently explain to Xiaobai as usual, or through some small means, let him change his attitude towards this food after tasting it.

Although I knew, I couldn't blame Xiaobai for not understanding her mood at this time, but I was a little disappointed after all.

"Queen Mother, what is wrong with you?" Xiaobai noticed Xiaoguo's abnormality and asked worriedly.

He stretched out his chubby little hand and touched Xiaoguo's forehead.

Xiaoguo smiled and took his hand away, feeling a little more relaxed, she smiled and said, "Then it's better to eat something else, does Xiaobai have anything you particularly want to eat?" ”

Xiaobai's face flushed excitedly, and hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, I want to eat fish-flavored shredded pork!" And garlic prawns! ”

Xiaoguo pinched his little face and said helplessly: "Okay! ”

Xiao Bai walked into the kitchen and sat obediently in his fixed position, playing with the crystal ball in his hand, while waiting for the food to be born from Xiaoguo's hand, and there was a bamboo chair vacant next to him, which was the seat of his imperial grandmother, the Empress Dowager De.

Since the Empress Dowager De entered the food in Cining Palace, she will also abandon her identity when she is empty, and sit in the corner of the kitchen with Xiaobai, watching Xiaoguo busy, sometimes she can't help but learn to do it!

With the approach of the Hundred Flowers Society, the emperors and grandchildren of the countries who visited the Queen Mother had no door, and turned to the Empress Dowager De, almost every moment there were guests stranded in Fushou Palace, and when it was time to eat, they could not drive away people, and they had to stay together to eat!

In the evening, when the guests were all dispersed, the Empress Dowager was so tired that she fell asleep with a pillow.

In this way, the Empress Dowager failed to enter Cining Palace for many days.

Fortunately, she is happy to deal with this kind of social activity, and she especially likes the novelties brought by visitors, so although she can't eat the food made by Xiaoguo for three meals a day, she still gets a certain amount of psychological satisfaction! Occasionally, she will also send palace people to share some of the treasures she has obtained for Xiaoguo and Xiaobai to play with!

is like the crystal ball that Xiaobai is holding in his hand now, which was sent by the Empress Dowager De.

Because the queen mother has an order, she is not allowed to enter the kitchen without permission, Luru stood outside the kitchen, and asked loudly inside: "Niangniang, the imperial dining room sent a bucket of fresh milk, do you want to stay?" ”

Fresh milk? Cream? Cake?

A few words popped up in Xiaoguo's mind one after another, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Let them carry it over!" ”

Xiaobai finished lunch and went to the school, and Xiaoguo went into the kitchen again.

This time, in addition to Angelica and Bi Tao, two more little eunuchs were brought in.

I only listened to the occasional sound of Xiaoguo coming from the kitchen.

"Stir like this, don't stop."

“ok! Now change people, and then stir! ”

When Xiaobai got out of school and came to Cining Palace again, the whole courtyard was filled with a strong sweet smell.

He staggered towards the kitchen, shouting, "Mother, mother! What smells so good? ”

Xiaoguo almost collided with him, straightened his little body, and she pretended to be angry and said, "You, why are you running so fast, what if you fall?" ”

Xiaobai smiled nonchalantly, tilted his little head, and looked into the kitchen.

Xiaoguo pushed him towards the main hall: "Come, your share is here!" ”

On the soft coffee table of pear blossoms, a round translucent glass cover is placed, and some bright colors loom through the glass.

Xiaoguo opened the glass cover, and a two-layer fruit cake appeared in front of Xiaobai.

Xiaobai's eyes widened, he looked at the pastry in front of him dumbfounded, only to see a kind of white ribbon that exuded the smell of milk, layer by layer of regular pastry, was cut into slices or carved into patterns of fruit, beautiful placed on the top layer of the pastry, around the fruit, blooming some white flowers, dotted with bright red strawberries, the whole pastry is delicate and exquisite, people can't bear to swallow.

Xiaobai swallowed a few salivas: "Queen Mother, such a beautiful pastry!" ”

Xiaoguo had wiped his little hands neatly, she handed the towel in her hand to the palace maid who was waiting, and said with a smile: "Come, cut a piece and taste it!" ”

Xiaoguo took a knife and cut a piece, put it on a plate, and brought it to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai couldn't wait to grab the silver spoon, scooped a piece and put it in his mouth, only to feel a wonderful sweetness spread throughout his mouth, the sweetness melted in his mouth, and he couldn't help but take another bite.

"It's delicious! Queen Mother, what is this white and sweet fragrance? ”

"It's called cream!" Xiaoguo cut a piece of cake for herself, and put the cherry on it in her mouth, the sweet and sour taste made the corners of her mouth rise unconsciously.

Xiaobai exaggeratedly shouted: "There are still Mian cakes in it?" Wow, the pastry is delicious, too! ”

Xiaoguo put the cup of juice in front of him and reminded: "Eat slowly, don't choke!" ”

ate three pieces in a row, and under Xiaoguo's stopping, Xiaobai put down the plate unsatisfied.

He took a sip of the juice: "Queen Mother, let's send some to the imperial grandmother to taste!" ”

Xiaoguo nodded: "Okay!" For her part, let's send it over together! ”

Xiaobai jumped up happily: "Let's go now!" I haven't seen my grandmother in a few days! ”

Xiaoguo took another cake from the kitchen and put it in the food box, and the mother and son walked towards Fushou Palace.
