Chapter 131: The Mirror and the Cake
"Fifth sister, don't look at it, how can there be any King Qin through the bone mirror in this world, eldest sister, she is lying to you!" Princess Pingyang heard that Duke Changguang was mainly looking at the mirror sent by Li Xiu, and hurriedly stopped her, she was worried that if Li Xiu really sent just an ordinary mirror, it would make him leave a bad impression among several sisters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"That's not good, General Ma and they are not here, this Li Xiu is the most important person under your third sister, and the gift he gave can't be vague!" At this moment, Princess Xiangyang, who had not spoken, also smiled and said that she was the second sister of Princess Pingyang, and she had also seen Li Xiu, a young handsome man, when she came at noon, and she was also very curious about his gift at this time.
Seeing that the second sister supported herself, Princess Changguang didn't care about the reaction of the third sister, and urged the helmet and a few other maids to get Li Xiu's gift, which made Princess Pingyang no longer stop, so she could only nod her head in agreement, but after a while, the helmet came over with a wooden box, and then put it on the table in front of Princess Pingyang.
Princess Changguang immediately stretched out her hand to open it, but was stopped by Princess Xiangyang and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, this is a gift from someone to the third sister, so you have to let the third sister open it herself!" ”
When Princess Pingyang heard the words of the second sister, she smiled helplessly again, reached out and took the box in front of her, and then gently opened the box, only to see that there was a rather delicate mirror inside, the back of the bronze was facing up, and it looked similar to an ordinary copper mirror, but when she turned the mirror over, she couldn't help but let out a surprised "ah", and her face showed a look of disbelief.
Princess Changguang and Princess Xiangyang sat on both sides of Princess Pingyang, and at this time they also leaned over to look at the mirror in her hand, and when they saw the front of the mirror, their eyes were also wide in shock, especially Princess Changguang, who rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and couldn't help but whisper: "This ...... How is this possible? ”
"What's the matter, could it be that Li Xiuzhen found King Qin's bone mirror?" Princess Changsha sat opposite Princess Pingyang, so she couldn't see the front of the mirror for the time being, but from the expressions of her three younger sisters, she could also see that this mirror seemed to be very unexpected, so she couldn't help asking.
"Eldest sister, you would never have imagined that there would be such a mirror in this world!" At this time, Princess Xiangyang finally raised her head and muttered to Princess Changsha, still with a bit of disbelief in her eyes.
"Third sister, ...... Show me! At this time, Princess Changguang suddenly reached out and grabbed the mirror in Princess Pingyang's hand, and then looked left and right with a narcissistic face, only to see a smiling woman reflected in the mirror, who had lived for more than 20 years, and it was the first time she saw her face so clearly.
Hearing the words of the second sister, and then looking at the narcissistic appearance of the fifth sister, Princess Changsha finally couldn't help it, and stood up and walked behind Princess Changguang, only to see that she was indeed holding a mirror in her hand, but although the back of this mirror was copper, the front was as cool as water, it seemed to be crystal, and it looked like overseas medicinal jade, but this is not the point, the point is that her appearance is reflected in the mirror, which is clear and even frightening.
"This ...... Is this really a mirror? Princess Changsha looked at herself in the mirror who had been slightly blessed, and compared with a few young sisters, she looked a little old, especially in the corner of her eyes, there were already a few crow's feet, but no matter how clear the previous bronze mirror was, it was still a little yellow and blurry, so she didn't notice it, but now through this peculiar look, she found her aging.
"It's incredible, this mirror seems to be made of medicinal jade, where did Li Xiu find this kind of mirror?" Princess Xiangyang couldn't help but reach out and touch the mirror at this time, and said with emotion, no matter how clear the bronze mirror is, it can't reach this level, but she has seen a lot of medicinal jade, but she never knew that medicinal jade can also be made into a mirror.
"Third sister, give me this mirror!" At this moment, Princess Changguang, who was obsessed with her appearance, finally came to her senses, and immediately screamed and hugged the mirror in her arms and said, she really likes this mirror so much!
If it is something given by someone else, even if it is a hundred times more valuable than this mirror, Princess Pingyang will not hesitate to transfer it to Princess Changguang, but this mirror is the first birthday gift given to her by Li Xiu, so Princess Pingyang immediately shook her head firmly and said: "No, fifth sister, if you take other things, even if you take away all the other gifts, but this mirror is definitely not good!" ”
"Good sister, I like this mirror, can you give it to me?" Princess Changguang used her own trick at this time, holding Princess Pingyang's arm and shaking and coquettish, as long as she used this trick before, Princess Pingyang would agree to any request, except for the last time she asked Princess Pingyang's peony flower to lose the battle.
"No, you can take everything else you want, but this mirror can't!" Princess Pingyang said resolutely again.
Seeing that the third sister resolutely disagreed, Princess Changguang was also a little annoyed, and said angrily at the moment: "Third sister, this is what you said, I want the peony flower that I gave you last time, can you give it?" ”
"Okay, the peony flower is in the garden, you can dig it if you want!" Princess Pingyang almost did not hesitate to agree, although she loves flowers as much as her life, but she will not give this mirror to others no matter what.
"Huh? Third sister, do you have a fever, are you really willing to give flowers to the fifth sister? Princess Changsha heard that Princess Pingyang would rather not have flowers than leave this mirror, and she couldn't believe it at the moment, she knew her sister best, and she wanted to love flowers and give flowers and plants out, it was difficult to climb to the sky, what happened to her today?
Princess Changguang was also stunned when she heard that Princess Pingyang promised to give her peony, and after a while, she reacted and said, "Third sister, then I really went to dig?" ”
Looking at the incredible looks of the sisters, Princess Pingyang smiled indifferently and said: "If you want to go, anyway, you are also worried about my peony for a day or two, with your temperament, if you don't give it to you a day, you will worry about it for a day, it is better to let you get your wish today!" ”
"Giggle~, it seems that the third sister has really changed sex, then I'm welcome!" After Princess Changguang finished speaking, she immediately jumped up and ran to dig her own peonies, and she also saw at this time that since the third sister could even give up flowers and plants, it showed that it was impossible for her to want this mirror, so it was better to retreat to the second, speaking of which, she did think about those peonies for a long time.
Seeing Princess Changguang leaving happily, Princess Xiangyang immediately laughed and scolded: "I am a mother, how can I still behave so well, and I am not afraid of being told that she does not have the prestige of a princess!" ”
But now, Princess Changsha looked at the fifth sister who left and said with great emotion: "It's good to be young, but it's a pity that ......"
When she said this, Princess Changsha reached out and took the mirror from Princess Pingyang's hand, and then looked at the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and the look on her face was even more gloomy, there is nothing more sad than the twilight of a beauty.
However, just when Princess Changsha was sad about her old age, and Princess Pingyang and Princess Xiangyang didn't know how to comfort her, she suddenly saw a few maids from the princess's mansion carrying a big tray and a big box on it, and I didn't know what was on it?
I saw a few maids put the tray on the table, and then the maid headed by the maid bowed down to Princess Pingyang and said, "Princess Qiyu, this is today's pastry, please taste it!" ”
"Pastries? What kind of pastry? Princess Pingyang also asked a little strangely when she heard this, she remembered that she didn't let the kitchen prepare pastries?
"Princess Qiyu, this is specially ordered by Li Xijiu to make in the kitchen, the name is Birthday Cake, it is for the purpose of celebrating the princess's birthday!" The maid replied with a smile again.
After the maid finished speaking, she reached out and opened the box on the tray, revealing the white birthday cake below, there were not many patterns on it, but the four big words "Happy Birthday" were written in red cream, which was also a helpless thing, because no one had any experience in making cakes, and Li Xiu had only seen others make it, which looked simple, but he found it very difficult to operate it himself, so he could only do it simply.
"This birthday cake is a good name, and the smell is very attractive, but how can you eat such a big pastry?" Princess Xiangyang looked at the cake in front of her at this time, which was bigger than the lid of the pot, and asked with some confusion, usually the largest pastry they eat is only the size of the palm of their hand, and it is the first time they have seen such a big pastry.
"Princess, don't worry, Li Xianjiu has already taught us when we come, but before eating, there is still one thing to do!" At this time, the maid laughed again, and then took a few colored candles from the maid beside her, and inserted them on the cake.
Speaking of which, in order to make this cake, Li Xiu thought of it in all aspects, such as even a few candles made by him, in fact, it is very simple, it is nothing more than dissolving the wax and adding pigments, plus the wick to make them solidify, and this cake He originally wanted to give it to Princess Pingyang in person, but he didn't expect Princess Changsha to never leave, and I heard that Princess Changguang planned to stay overnight, so he reluctantly gave up this plan.
"Princess, each of these two thick candles represents ten years old, the thin one represents one year old, and the two thick and five thin candles represent your age this year, after lighting it, you can make a wish, but don't say it, and then blow out the candle, it is said that doing so will make people's wishes come true!" The maid lit the candle and introduced it to Princess Pingyang with a smile.
"I didn't expect this Li Xiu to have such a mind, third sister, it's really jealous that you have such a subordinate!" At this time, the princess of Changsha finally recovered from her sentimentality, and put down the mirror in her hand when she spoke, although this mirror was good, she preferred to use a bronze mirror that was not very clear, so as not to see her aging face and make people sad.
"Third sister, I'm getting more and more curious about this Li Xiu, and this kind of mirror is also unprecedented, I also want to have one, why don't you call him in and see if you can let him find a few more mirrors for us?" Princess Xiangyang picked up the mirror at this time and looked at herself carefully, and then suddenly opened her mouth to propose. (To be continued.) )
