Chapter Seventy-Seven: Osmanthus Chestnut Cake

"Your Highness, ...... Is it really appropriate? Seeing that the long entourage beside Zhu Dan came to spread the word at night, saying that Zampu would come over in a while, but his master still didn't care about everything After eating, drinking, and washing, he even planned to go to the inner hall early to sleep, Hongfu carefully stirred the charcoal fire in the furnace with the long chopstick in his hand, and said with a little apprehension: "Although you and Zampu got back together a few days ago, but this turn has become like this, will it be too lazy?" ”

Although her princess is the wife of Ming Media, she doesn't have to flatter and invite favors without dignity like other women, she can be a ** room, so she doesn't care about her husband's whereabouts at all, right? didn't wait and wait, didn't say anything, and even went to rest by himself...... Even from her point of view, this is really excessive, and the indifference of her own master really breaks her heart.

"So I didn't close my doors." Combing his long hair with a high-quality ivory comb from time to time, Tao Yao sat in front of the dressing table, but her eyebrows were full of tiredness. The climate of Tibet is still too cold for her, but this body is very delicate, after being poisoned in the early years, she fell ill, and she can't stand a little cold, yes, at night, she always feels cold all over her body, and she can't wait to leave the stove. In the past, for the sake of being with the ruler with Zhu Danxu and the snake, she could still endure it for a while, but now, since the words have been spoken, it is not interesting for her to pretend anymore, so why do she have to wronged herself?

This...... That's good? Hongfu was dumbfounded when she heard this, but she didn't know what kind of words to use to refute. However, her master is Tao Yao, as long as she thinks it is good, then there will be no problems. It's just that if it was the major general who married her at the beginning, now, it should be a different situation, right? Thinking like this, Hongfu's heart couldn't help but feel a little astringent, looking at the woman who was still calm and sitting in front of the mirror, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and added a few pieces of silver silk carbon to the stove, which naturally changed the topic: "Your Highness didn't need a few bites for dinner today, you should be hungry now, right?" The slave maid cooked some osmanthus chestnut cake and brought it to you as a cushion? ”

"Osmanthus chestnut cake?" Listening to something that hadn't appeared for a long time, Tao Yao's movements paused slightly, and then nodded with a smile: "It's okay." "It was originally her favorite pastry since she was a child, when she was in Chang'an, her mother would cook for her herself, and later when she came to Shendu, it was Aunt Qiuyuan next to Princess Taiping, and now, the person who made it for her has been replaced by Hongfu. It is said that personnel changes, but it turns out that even a small snack can be reflected, which is really embarrassing.

Since calling Tubo, Tao Yao's already small appetite has decreased again and again, and seeing that people have lost a lot of weight, it is absolutely false to say that there is no hurry. Therefore, as soon as Hongfu heard her let go, she immediately smiled, and with a neat move, she brought in the plate of fragrant pastries that had just been baked. Fortunately, when the princess married far away, it represented the face of the Tang Dynasty, so the dowry was also very thick, without a trace of water, which could be regarded as everything, otherwise, it would be quite difficult to find some osmanthus suitable for making pastries in Tubo at this time.

In Hongfu's expectant eyes, he picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, Taoyao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he inadvertently revealed a little nostalgia: "I didn't expect Sister Hongfu, your craftsmanship is so good." This osmanthus chestnut cake is sweet but not greasy, but it is ...... It's a bit like my mother's taste. At the end of the words, her voice also unconsciously lowered.

Speaking of which, that was many years ago. At that time, she hated drinking medicine the most, and she was always prone to wind and cold at the beginning of spring, so she had to puff out her cheeks to drink all the black medicinal juice, and then her eyes were aggrieved with tears, and her three brothers were distressed. And every time this time comes, Liu will make fragrant, sweet and glutinous osmanthus chestnut cake to coax her until she breaks into laughter. It was one of the few carefree days she remembered, happily like soaking in a honey pot, so that for many years afterward, even if she was no longer the little girl who was afraid of drinking medicine in the Yongwang Mansion, she still liked the taste of osmanthus chestnut cake. Because it is food with emotional imprints, it has nothing to do with taste, it has nothing to do with value, but it has a place in her heart. When she was by Princess Taiping's side, she didn't actually show her special preferences, but Aunt Akihara was careful, and she saw all the details in her eyes, and she was happy to get used to it. After a long time, many people knew that she especially loved this dim sum, but the reason for this was that in addition to watching her grow up and being an old man around the Liu family, even Gao Xianzhi was not clear.

It's a pity that everything can never go back to the beginning. Her parents, her brother, how is they doing in Chang'an now, will they also think of her on the same night...... All of this, she didn't know. And to this point, there is only one Hongfu who has always been loyal to her, and this plate of osmanthus chestnut cake as always.

"The slave watched the princess do it a few times back then, and later she was cheeky enough to ask Aunt Akihara for advice." Hearing Tao Yao say this, Hongfu also breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as Your Highness feels good, the slave maid will often do it for you in the future." "After all, far away from the homeland, even if you have fine clothes and food and respectful status, it is still difficult to talk about the bitterness in your heart to others. She can understand, and she feels even more sorry for this girl who she has watched grow up since she was a child, so there is some beauty, so if you can guard it for her, you can keep it. They are not here to be guests in Tibet, they are here, and they have a long life.

"No need." Hanging her hand, Tao Yao looked at the delicate and delicious pastries on the plate, and a faint smile appeared between her picturesque eyebrows, but there was an indescribable taste: "Hibiscus cake is also very good, let's change the flavor occasionally." "The past is the past after all, even if she exhausts her life's efforts to involve and maintain, she is destined to not be able to keep it. No matter how much she remembers, no one will care, let alone give her the answers and help she wants. A person's obsession is nothing more than a futile effort, she has long learned to let go, and she has begun to let go very early.
