Chapter 131: Tasting Huxiang Cake
Empress Dowager Liu also looked at Gao Wei Lake with great confusion.
But Gao Weihu just covered his lips, was silent for a long time, gently picked up the tea cup, put it to his lips, and took a shallow sip of fragrant tea, and the tea accompanied by the aroma of Huxiang cake exuded a chic and elegant aroma in the mouth.
"Huxiang cake is the best among the extremely rare pastries, but the Huxiang cake sent by the concubine is really very similar to the authentic Huxiang cake." Gao Weihu gently placed the tea cup in his hand on the table.
Lan Qinwan was shocked when she heard Gao Weihu's words.
"Gao Weihu, do you know what you're talking about?" Lan Qinwan scolded loudly.
"A stinky girl who doesn't know how to be polite can understand what is the best." Princess Yongping sneered on the side.
Gao Weihu suddenly burst out laughing, this smile was as dazzling as a blooming peony, and it lit up the whole person at once.
Lan Qinwan and Princess Changning were stunned.
"What are you laughing at? Could it be that I haven't eaten such a delicious thing, and I'm as crazy as your sister? Princess Changning rolled her eyes and said with a sneer.
"Is it because I don't understand this Huxiang cake, or is Princess Changning shallow?" The brilliance flashing in Gao Weihu's beautiful eyes made Princess Changning suddenly angry.
"Who do you say is shallow?" Princess Changning took the case, completely ignoring her own image.
"Changning, what do you look like!" Empress Dowager Liu was a little angry and shouted.
Changning pursed his lips, snorted and sat down.
"Haohu, in your opinion, is there anything wrong with this Huxiang cake?" Empress Dowager Liu picked up a piece of pastry and looked at it carefully.
"Huxiang cake was originally four layers, so that the outer layer is clear and crispy, the inner layer is elastic and smooth, the inner layer is sweet and soft, and the center will have a hundred flowers, honey brewed soup flowing out, dare to ask the Queen Mother just now you eat in the mouth of the Huxiang cake has a special soup sandwich of Huxiang country?" Gao Weihu smiled and took a piece of Huxiang cake and broke it, only to see that the middle of the pastry was empty, and there was no soup.
"Indeed, the mourning family remembers the Huxiang cake they once ate, and there is indeed a strange fragrant soup flowing out of it, and the Huxiang cake sent by Lan Guifei today is indeed missing such a process, which is much inferior." The Queen Mother nodded slightly and listened carefully to what Gao Weihu said.
Lan Qinwan was shocked when she heard this, her already pale face became even more frosty, and she bit her lip lightly, whenever Lan Qinwan made such an action, it was a manifestation of inner weakness.
Gao Weihu saw all this, then picked up the pair of chic jade chopsticks on the side, gently picked up a piece of Huxiang cake, and was about to send it to his mouth.
Lan Qinwan's eyes suddenly became extremely excited, and a pair of eyes stared closely at the piece of Huxiang cake that Gao Wei Lake picked up.
Just as the entrance of Gaowei Lake was about to enter, it suddenly paused in mid-air.
"I remembered that when I and the concubine Niangniang were both in the Blue Mansion before the pavilion, at that time, the concubine Niangniang liked me to serve her the most, feeding her all kinds of delicious pastries, and I was in love for a while, and I really missed the past days." Gao Weihu looked at Lan Qinwan warmly, and her smile was like a warm spring breeze, which was very heartwarming.
"I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship." Empress Dowager Liu smiled.
What's more, Lan Qinwan at that time was often embarrassed by Gao Wei Lake in Lan Mansion, and often asked Gao Wei Lake to do some rough work done by maids, and when she was unhappy, she would arrest Gao Wei Lake and humiliate her, but she never expected that the ugly monster who was considered a mourning star back then would now become her biggest heart disease.
"It's not just good, it's like sisters! If the concubine doesn't mind, I really want to serve the concubine again and feed her a bite of this sweet Huxiang cake to express my gratitude. Gao Weihu smiled and stood up directly.
Seeing this, Lan Qinwan couldn't help but lean back.
"No, I don't like this sweet snack." Lan Qinwan's eyes stared coldly at the Huxiang cake in Gao Weihu's hand, as if she was very resistant.
"Just take a small bite, don't miss the delicious taste of this Huxiang cake." Gao Weihu laughed even more, and the smile seemed to begin to change from indescribable evil, and he stepped forward a few steps as he spoke.
Lan Qinwan actually raised a hand to cover her mouth, revealing a look of extreme disgust.
"Presumptuous! Get it out of the way! Lan Qinwan shouted angrily.
Gao Weihu stepped back, with an aggrieved look on his face, and there was a slight glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Lan Guifei, Yuhu and you have a deep sisterhood, but I miss the old love, why don't you take a bite, why blame her?" Seeing this, Empress Dowager Liu was slightly displeased.
"Queen Mother......" Lan Qinwan was just about to explain.
"Yes, this Huxiang cake is not as sweet as other dim sum, and the entrance is still extremely refreshing, so take a bite." Princess Yongping picked up another piece of Huxiang cake, put it in her mouth full, and nodded while eating.
Lan Qinwan's face was covered with lead clouds, she was so resistant to the Huxiang cake in Gao Weihu's hand, which made Gao Weihu even more convinced that there must be something wrong with this Huxiang cake Lan Qinwan would be so jealous, since it was the fruit you planted yourself, you should taste it yourself.
Gao Huanhu regained his smile and sent the Huxiang cake over, just when he was not far from Lan Qinwan, Lan Qinwan scattered all the things in Gao Zhaohu's hand to the ground with a snap, and the good Huxiang cake fell to the ground and was contaminated with dust, presumably it could not be eaten anymore, and the pair of emerald blackened jade chopsticks fell directly into several pieces.
And there was a vacuum-like cavity on the section of the jade chopsticks, and drops of black viscous and thick liquid were exposed inside. The liquid gradually flowed out of the gap in the cavity as if it were alive, and it looked very deceptive on the ground.
"What is this?" Princess Yongping got up and took a closer look.
"What's wrong?" Empress Dowager Liu also got up and looked in the direction that Princess Yongping was looking at.
I saw that the black sticky, thick liquid had flowed out a lot, and the sticky feeling was creepy. Gradually, the room was filled with a foul smell like rotting flesh, and everyone couldn't help but take out their handkerchiefs and cover their mouths and noses.
"What is this, where did it come from, come on, hurry up and clear it!" The Queen Mother commanded.
A palace maid came out from behind, answered, knelt on the ground, kept covering her mouth and nose with her hand, and began to pick up the Huxiang cake and broken jade chopsticks on the ground with one hand, and took a pot of water, which was full of flower petals, and suddenly a faint fragrance filled the air.
After a while, the maid wiped the black sewage and retreated, and it took a while for everyone to recover from the foul smell just now.
"What was that? Where did it come from? Empress Dowager Liu raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously.
"It seems to have flowed from the pair of broken jade chopsticks just now." Princess Yongping also frowned.
"Jade chopsticks?" Empress Dowager Liu looked at the jade chopsticks in her hand suspiciously, but she couldn't see any clues, if the disgusting thing just now really fell out of this jade chopsticks, then no matter how much Huxiang cake she ate, she couldn't suppress the disgusting in her heart.
"Mother Rong, is there anything wrong with you looking at the jade chopsticks?" Empress Dowager Liu handed the chopsticks into the hands of Rong's mother.
Rong's mother took the jade chopsticks and put them in her hand and faced the sun again, looked at them several times and didn't say anything, so she returned the jade chopsticks to the Queen Mother.
"The slave is clumsy, I really can't see what's wrong with this jade chopstick." Rong's mother's voice was extremely high, and she spoke neither fast nor slow, but it was full of a gentle atmosphere.
"Oh no, Queen Mother! Lian Qiao suddenly went crazy just now! ”
When everyone heard this, their faces immediately changed.
"I was fine just now, why did I suddenly go crazy?" The Queen Mother frowned.
This Lian Qiao is the maid who wiped the floor just now, the rough work of mopping the floor in the Queen Mother's palace on weekdays is done by Lian Qiao, the Empress Dowager Liu is quite strict with the cleaning requirements in her palace, this Lian Qiao is very clean and clean, and the Queen Mother is also very satisfied with her on weekdays.
"Crazy? The young lady of the Gao family is crazy, and the palace maid is also suddenly crazy, could it be that there is some monster to blame? Princess Changning glanced at Gaowei Lake, and the coldness in her eyes was not concealed at all.
"What are you talking nonsense? Don't be afraid of rotting your tongue when you talk nonsense! Princess Yongping looked at her and rebuked indignantly.
"I think it's you who has a rotten tongue!" Princess Changning immediately shot back, her fierce appearance made her entire beautiful appearance look extremely distorted, completely ignoring the identity of the princess, completely ignoring the people around her.
"You two shut up, it's too unusual!" Empress Dowager Liu shouted angrily.
"The Queen Mother is angry, the two princesses are just young and fun, just bickering, don't be angry." Lan Qinwan hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, but that smile seemed so dazzling in Gao Weihu's eyes.
"Come with me and see." Empress Dowager Liu stood up with the support of Rong's mother, and walked to the corridor behind.
Gao Weihu also got up and walked behind everyone with Princess Yongping.
"Look, Changning is a femme fatale, she is jealous of you now, she can't see others more beautiful than her, look at the tone of what she just said is aimed at you in everything, be careful." Princess Yongping covered her lips and whispered.
Gao Weihu nodded slightly, revealing a shallow smile.
Everyone turned a corner under the leadership of a palace maid, and suddenly stopped in place, and everyone no longer dared to take a step forward.
I saw that in the depths of the corridor, there was a palace maid who was tearing her hair one by one with her back to everyone, and the originally neat bun was now messy, and pieces of bloody heads could still be seen on the torn hair
skin, which makes people see the hair standing upside down, and the strangest thing is that the palace maid didn't seem to feel any pain at all, just stood in place and silently pulled her hair down with her scalp.
"What is this, it's horrible." Princess Changning gasped.
"Lian Qiao, what's wrong with you? If there is anything, the mourning family is in charge of you. Empress Dowager Liu raised one hand slightly, pointing at Lian Qiao, who was facing away from everyone.
I saw that Lian Qiao was still tearing her hair as if she hadn't heard the Queen Mother's words, and the intensity and frequency of the tearing were obviously much faster than just now, as if there was some monster hidden in her hair, and she had to pull it out hard to be satisfied.
