Chapter 308: The Lost Hairpin
As he spoke, he hurriedly helped the palace maid up, and by the way, he freed up his hand to cover the food box for others.
"Thank you, Princess Jing."
It seems that because Zuo Xiangling did not pursue it, the palace maid showed a high-level look, looking at the delicate pastries just now, Zuo Xiangling asked.
"Which lady is this pastry for?"
Zuo Xiangling saw the pastry just now, and it was a hundred fruit pine cake.
Tear off the skin film of the plate oil, cut it into 0.4 cm square dices, add 50 grams of white sugar and mix, marinate for 7-10 days;
Mix the inlaid powder (japonica rice, glutinous rice flour) with white sugar, water, sieve the coarse grains with a sieve, and leave for 1 day (at least 5-6 hours).
Then put it into a round steamer (lined with cake cloth) and scrape it flat, not compact, and then arrange the above-mentioned dried fruits, candied fruits, fragrant flowers and sugar board oil cubes on the cake surface into various patterns.
Put it in the pot and steam, when it is close to maturity, open the lid of the cage and drink some warm water, and then steam until the cake is white and transparent, and then take it out and cool it.
Such a hard-working pastry, I think it should be the heart of a harem lady, and I can't even forget it when I come out to play, and I thought about it when I was still in the palace.
But the answer of the person in front of him surprised Zuo Xiangling.
"Princess Huijing, what this pastry chef gave to the lord of Yunni County is her favorite fruit pine cake, and the queen mother personally ordered it to be made for her."
This made Zuo Xiangling a little unexpected, Yun Ni has always disliked pastries, and basically followed the Queen Mother and Yulu, so that she basically didn't find out what Yun Ni liked to eat.
But it also makes sense, it makes sense for the Queen Mother to be dizzy and work hard for herself and occasionally reward.
"The slave and maid still have to go to deliver the pastries, so they will retire first."
"Hmm."
Seeing the palace maid leave, the more Zuo Xiangling thought about it, the more envious she felt, this pastry took a lot of effort, so Zuo Xiangling hadn't made it herself, just now when she was holding the lid of the food box, she asked if the pastry was so fragrant that she was about to drool when she thought about it now.
At this moment, the Tianba in her hand spoke.
"Don't think about it, there's something wrong with that pastry, why don't you hurry up and take a look."
These words were like thunder, which suddenly made Zuo Xiangling stunned in place, and after thinking about it, Zuo Xiangling still turned around and walked quickly in the direction of Gu Huaxuan, asking as she walked.
"What's the problem?"
Tianba replied slowly.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not an ordinary pastry, most of it has been added."
The lazy words spread in Zuo Xiangling's mind, and Zuo Xiangling's mood was in stark contrast to Tianba's idleness.
However, Yunni has always followed the Queen Mother, and she has a calm temperament and makes enemies with people, so it is impossible for this to happen to her, unless, the intention of the person behind the scenes is not her, but the people around her, I'm afraid it is the Queen Mother.
Thinking of the naughty little old woman, Zuo Xiangling directly lifted her skirt and ran towards Gu Huaxuan, praying that they would not be in a hurry to eat as she ran, especially Yulu, who was the most greedy, such a fragrant pastry, I thought it was the first to fight for it.
Standing in front of Yunni's door in a rough manner, Zuo Xiangling pushed open the door with one hand, and saw the palace maid who had just bumped into him standing in front of Yunni.
Because of their sudden intrusion, both of them looked at them in surprise. All right
In order not to startle the snake, Zuo Xiangling deliberately made a look of rubbing food, and said pretendly.
"Oh, just now I found out that I lost a hairpin, but that hairpin was given to me by King Jing, so I feel so distressed that I will come to you to find it."
As she spoke, Zuo Xiangling's eyes did not look at the rest of the house, but looked straight at the 100-fruit pine cake on the table.
That look, as long as you are not blind, you should know that Zuo Xiangling is here to rub pastries.
Seeing this, Yunni didn't know if it was because Zuo Xiangling's thoughts were too obvious and she lost her appetite, so she put down the pastry in her hand, and Zuo Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Zuo Xiangling hurriedly said.
"Hurry up and help me find it."
This was obviously said to the palace maid who had just delivered the pastry, because at this time Linglong had already begun to help Zuo Xiangling find it, they were all subordinates, and they should do their best at this time.
Zuo Xiangling also pretended to look for it, and after making sure that it would not be noticed, she leaned in the direction of Yunni, and then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"There's something wrong with the pastry."
Hearing this, Yunni's eyes lit up, and she looked at the person who gave her pastries, Zuo Xiangling was frightened by her actions, looking at people so blatantly, isn't it just a startling snake.
Hurriedly grinning and reminding, Yunni consciously withdrew his realization, and then began to look for it in the house with Zuo Xiangling.
Taking advantage of the fact that the palace maid didn't find out, Zuo Xiangling secretly pulled out a small hairpin from her head, and only a small bead flower fell on it, which was also used to fix the bun on weekdays, and she wouldn't notice it at all if she didn't look carefully.
Yun Ni looked at the hairpin in her hand, immediately stood up, and stretched out her hand to Zuo Xiangling indifferently.
"Oops, I finally found it, thank you Yunni County Lord."
As he spoke, he pulled Yunni over and grabbed him to the table and began to talk, and Linglong over there saw this and returned to Zuo Xiangling's back.
The palace maid saw that she was fine, so she saluted and left.
Taking people away, Zuo Xiangling hurriedly poured a cup of tea for herself, and then said excitedly.
"Fortunately, you didn't eat it, I'm afraid this pastry was drugged, if it weren't for the fact that I bumped into this person just now, and Tianba happened to find out that there was a problem with this pastry, I'm afraid you would be in danger of dying now."
As he spoke, the pastry on the bar table with a frightened face pushed towards the side where no one was there, as if the plate contained some kind of germs that could infect people.
"Thank you."
Yun Ni said two words lightly, this calm appearance did not look like a woman who had been threatened by her life.
In this regard, Zuo Xiangling had to spontaneously have a little admiration.
"Since you're fine, there's no need for me to stay any longer, don't eat this pastry yet, find something to put it up, and when the reinforcements come after me, let him show you what was poisoned."
We might be able to find out who is behind this. ”
In this regard, Yunni nodded and agreed with Zuo Xiangling's opinion.
As for the reinforcements in Zuo Xiangling's mouth, she thought of it early on that it was impossible for Shangguan Feibai to come, because he still had to go to the court, and Qin Puze, even if he didn't go to court, Shangguan Feibai would not send him to protect him.
Because this is not much different from not having his protection, I think it should be Zhuo Yunqing, who is relatively convenient to move, as long as he goes out to practice medicine under the pretext of going out, or it is clear that he is coming here for the body of the Queen Mother, it is also reasonable.
