Chapter 27 Osmanthus Cake
I have always felt that osmanthus is a very magical flower, which does not bloom in April and May when the flowers are in full bloom, but blooms alone in September when the flowers are withering.
In the past, when the osmanthus bloomed every year, the mother would personally pick some flower bones and make osmanthus cake for me to eat, sometimes the master would add some herbs to the osmanthus cake, and the osmanthus fragrance and the herbal fragrance were mixed together, and it was fresh and pleasant to eat......
I remember once I took a few pieces of osmanthus cake into the palace for my aunt, when the prince's brother was also there, so I ate a piece, but not long after, the prince's brother had a rash on his arm, and my aunt Xuan Taiyi came to see it, and the doctor said that it was caused by allergies.
At that time, I found out that the prince's brother was allergic to osmanthus!
I cried with self-blame, for fear that something would happen to the prince's brother, and my aunt comforted me and said it didn't matter, but fortunately I found out this time, and let us not spread it, for fear that someone with a heart would frame the prince's brother.
Although the fragrance of osmanthus flowers had no effect on the prince's brother, since then, just in case, all osmanthus trees have been removed from the Shangqing Palace and have never been planted again.
It's the time of the osmanthus bloom, and I want to make some osmanthus cake to try, by the way...... Give the prince's brother a taste too!
After leaving the Shangqing Palace, I came to the garden behind the dining room, where two osmanthus trees were planted, so I picked some osmanthus flowers and put them in the box.
These should be enough to make a dozen osmanthus cakes.
After I went back, I asked my father-in-law Liu to bring me flour and other ingredients, and finally made ten pieces, each with a lot of osmanthus flowers, which smelled fragrant.
However, should I test the prince's brother like this? Knowing that he is allergic to osmanthus and making osmanthus cake for him to eat, will he be too villainous?
"Brother Prince, Qiao'er has something to discuss with you", I ran to Brother Prince's courtyard......
Feng Shu walked out and asked, "What are you doing here?" Your Highness is reading, don't disturb Your Highness! ”
"I have something I want to discuss with the prince's brother!"
Feng Shu said: "Just tell me if you have anything!" ”
"No, you must tell the prince's brother!"
I walked into the room, and Feng Shu followed......
"Your Highness, An Zhangshi has to come in, and he didn't disturb you, right?"
The prince's brother asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"Brother Prince, now that the osmanthus is blooming, Qiao'er likes the osmanthus tree very much and wants to plant one in the yard."
"Presumptuous! Your Highness is allergic to osmanthus, don't you know? ”
Feng Shu glared at me, I glared at him back, and continued: "Qiao'er knows that the prince's brother doesn't like osmanthus flowers, so Qiao'er only planted it in his own yard, and it won't affect the prince's brother. ”
"You!"
"That's it!" The prince's brother took a sip of tea and said, "You can plant it if you want!" Feng Shu, tomorrow find an osmanthus tree and send it to the courtyard of An Zhangshi" After speaking, the prince's brother continued to read the book, and I said goodbye and went back.
Fortunately, I didn't send osmanthus cake to the prince's brother, otherwise it would have been a big disaster!
But I still think it's weird......
Although the prince's brother knows that he is allergic to osmanthus, but this is a secret, my aunt asked us not to spread it because we were worried that someone would want to frame the prince's brother, and the only people who knew about this matter were my aunt, me, Mu Xu, and the imperial doctor Zhao who treated the prince's brother. Mu Xu has followed the prince's brother since he was a child, and he will never say it, and Imperial Doctor Zhao has already returned to his hometown, let alone spread it, so how did he know about it?
Feng Shu is the apprentice of Mr. Divine Doctor, and he has only known the prince's brother for a few months, if he is not the closest person to the prince's brother, how could the prince's brother tell him about it?
The prince's brother has always been cautious, and he will never tell the wind about such a secret matter!
Unless......
There must be something wrong with this!
