Li Qiuchi smiled but didn't say anything, and when Fu Lin saw her ignoring herself, her face turned pale. The queen was interested, "Oh? Can you make cherry blossom cakes? ”

She bowed slightly, "It's just a little understanding, if you don't do well, I hope the queen won't dislike it." ”

The corners of the queen's lips hooked slightly, and her phoenix eyes raised slightly, "It's okay, you can do it, whether it's good or not, the palace doesn't blame you." What do you need? ”

Li Qiuchi smiled slightly: "The basic ingredient for making pastries is to fold cherry blossoms in two." ”

Soon after, a table and basic materials were placed in the center of the main hall, and everyone was curious to poke over, only to see Li Qiuchi slightly roll up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white wrists, she moved her hands without blinking, and her movements were smart and free. As time passed, her movements gradually slowed down, but they were still as smooth as her peers, making people feel comfortable.

When the dough was finally kneaded, she put it in the pot and steamed it for a while, and when she opened it, the unique fragrance of flour spread, and everyone exclaimed, and the square pastry placed in the center looked beautiful. At the last step, Li Qiuchi folded the cherry blossoms on the table, and the beauty was matched with the cherry blossoms, I don't know who gasped: "It's so beautiful......"

Fu Lin sneered disdainfully, "Grandstanding, bluffing." ”

After hearing Fu Lin's disdainful tone, the people around them all tacitly silenced and did not discuss it again.

She spread out the cherry blossom petals and put them in the oven, and after a while the cherry blossoms became crispy, and when they were just baked, she slammed them against the table, and the cherry blossoms broke apart, and she slowly sprinkled them on the pastry. Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

"Queen Mother, the concubine has been prepared, do you want to try it?" I don't know when, Li Qiuchi has already made pastries. With a smile on her face, she holds the cherry blossom cake on her plate, which is a jade plate with white jade-like pastries and is decorated with cherry blossoms, which looks beautiful.

The queen was so excited that she had the pastry brought to her, scooped it down with a small spoon, and put it in her mouth. After chewing for a while, she nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it is clear and sweet, sweet but not greasy, soft and delicious, and the roasted cherry blossoms on it are the icing on the cake." She glanced at Li Luoyao and showed a gentle smile: "It is worthy of the two thousand gold of the Fuyang Hou Mansion, each with its own merits, and it is even more amazing." ”

Hearing the queen's praise, everyone was curious, after all, the queen was in a high position, and she had never seen anything good, and what could make the queen praise it must be above the top. They all looked over, but they were too far away, and they could only see a snow-white corner.

Li Qiuchi smiled: "The queen praised it, I am far inferior to my sister." ”

Li Luoyao's face was not very good-looking, and she smiled reluctantly: "My sister is too modest." ”

Fu Lin was a little unconvinced, after she called Li Qiuchi over, she tasted a few bites of pastries, and her face became more and more gloomy.

"What does the princess think?" Li Qiuchi hooked his lips and smiled.

Fu Lin's face was very ugly, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "You won." After saying that, she directly put down the spoon and left angrily.

Everyone watched in amazement as Fu Lin left, each with their own thoughts in their hearts. Li Luoyao became even more uneasy, this time she made the princess lose face, wouldn't she lose this backer in the future? The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and sitting in her seat was even more like pins and needles.

"It's okay, let's continue to have a hundred flowers feast." The queen's flat voice fell, and everyone had no choice but to put their minds away and resume talking and laughing.

The sound of silk and bamboo strings sounded in the hall again, and everyone laughed and raised their wine glasses to congratulate each other.

Since the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Li Qiuchi has received more and more pastry orders, and she is very happy. Many people also praised it after tasting it, and the reputation became louder and louder.

But Li Luoyao was not so happy, she had been thinking about Fu Lin's angry departure in her heart, and she was sad, and finally simply found Fu Lin Palace.

Fu Lin was teasing the crickets in the cage, and after hearing the footsteps behind her, she asked coldly without looking back.

"What's the matter with me?"

When Li Luoyao heard her cold voice, her heart suddenly sank, and she slowly knelt down.

"The courtier has come to plead guilty to the princess. Before, it was the negligence of the courtiers, forgetting that Li Qiuchi was cunning by nature, she always showed that she was not proficient in front of the courtiers, but she never thought that she was also proficient in cooking. ”

Fu Lin raised an eyebrow, "Oh? You mean she's good at hiding? ”

Li Luoyao knelt on the ground, her eyes hiding her resentment towards Li Qiuchi, "Yes, she likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, so she uses this to let down our vigilance." ”

Fu Lin pondered for a moment, and after seeing Li Luoyao's resentful eyes, the corners of her lips hooked strangely, "You get up, this princess doesn't blame you." ”

Li Luoyao's eyes lit up, and after getting up, she hurriedly asked, "The princess really doesn't blame the courtiers?" ”

Fu Lin flicked his sleeves and sat down on the chaise longue next to him, his voice was scattered, "Princess Ben said that she doesn't blame you, she doesn't blame you, it's just-" Her voice paused, and Li Luoyao's heart suddenly felt as if it was being carried by a string, "Princess, please speak." ”

"This Li Qiuchi, this princess looks very unpleasant," Fu Lin rubbed his armor, his eyes were thin and angry, "You teach her a good lesson for this princess, if you make this princess satisfied, this princess will promise to promise you a good family affair, so that you can marry in a beautiful way." ”

Li Luoyao's face suddenly became overjoyed, "Thank you, princess!" Thank you, princess! The courtiers must live up to the princess's expectations! ”

After the Hundred Flowers Feast, it is the annual day of sacrifice and prayer. Li Qiuchi, as the crown princess, naturally had to participate, and early in the morning, she was pulled up to bathe and burn incense, which looked very grand. The crown of hair on it was very heavy, bigger than her two heads, and her neck was about to break, she looked at the woman with bright makeup in the mirror, and felt a little strange, there were many golden hairpins and hostas obliquely inserted on her head, and the shining light blinded her.

Her hand habitually wanted to touch it, but Cuiyu exclaimed to stop her, "Miss, it took a few hours to dress up, don't touch it!" ”

Li Qiuchi reluctantly put down his hand, looked at it in the mirror again for a while, and then asked in wonder, "Cuiyu, you have to dress up like this?" My neck is about to break, and I don't feel like my body is my own. Such a feeling can only be felt on the day of marriage. I didn't expect to revisit it again.

Cuiyu said helplessly: "Miss, this is a sacrifice, a very grand occasion, all officials have to look at it, you can't be hasty." After speaking, a few hairpins were inserted, and the long tassels hung down, looking graceful and luxurious, and Rao is jade was also stunned on the side.

Feeling that the weight on his head had increased again, Li Qiuchi suddenly had nothing to love.
