Chapter 13 The Dawn of the Edge
Finally, on the day of the queen's birthday, although it was the cold winter season, there was a rare winter day.
The warm sunshine adds a bit of excitement to this special day, and also brings warmth to the people who come to celebrate their birthdays to dispel the cold.
Since it was the queen's birthday banquet, it was naturally not to be sloppy, and the palaces had already prepared everything, and the imperial garden that was chosen as the celebration venue had already been decorated with joy.
The whole palace is full of festivities, full of lanterns, resplendent and splendid, the queen didn't want to be so grand, but the emperor didn't want to wronged the queen, everything wanted to give her the best.
When Ling Yuwei, Zhao Jingyi and Yun Xi came to the Imperial Garden, it was already a place of singing and dancing, and hundreds of civil and military officials and famous families were also vying to send congratulatory gifts.
Today's queen is dressed up a little heavier than in the past, wearing a golden court dress embroidered with a phoenix, and a golden phoenix headdress on her head, which looks more dignified and virtuous, and indeed does not lose the demeanor of the mother.
Ling Yuwei helped Zhao Jingyi to the seat that the queen had prepared for them a long time ago and sat down, but she didn't notice that from the time she came here, there were two eyes following her closely.
And these two eyes came from Leng Wuchen and Meng Ruolan.
The Leng family is the richest man in the capital, and the queen's birthday banquet has naturally been invited, and as for Meng Ruolan is the general's daughter, of course she is also coming.
The more Leng Wuchen looks at Ling Yuwei now, the more he feels that she is not ugly, not only is she not ugly, but she also has a unique temperament, why didn't he find this before?
And Meng Ruolan already knew about the dissolution of the marriage contract between Leng Wuchen and Ling Yuwei, her heart was really ecstatic, she felt that in this way, Leng Wuchen would definitely marry her.
It's just that just now she found that Leng Wuchen's eyes had never left Ling Yuwei, but she hadn't even glanced at herself.
What the hell is going on, didn't Leng Wuchen hate Ling Yuwei very much before? Why can't there be a trace of annoyance in his eyes now?
Is it because Ling Yuwei is now back to normal and not stupid?
In fact, Meng Ruolan also discovered that the current Ling Yuwei is really different from before, especially her elegant and refined temperament, which is completely incomparable with before.
Meng Ruolan never thought that it had only been two days since Ling Yuwei had changed so much, but no matter how she changed, she still didn't like her very much in her heart.
Ling Yuwei sat in her place bored in a daze, in fact, she didn't like such a lively occasion, she just wanted to find a suitable time to give that special birthday gift to the queen.
She sat not far from the queen, so almost all the gifts given by the others could be seen, they were nothing more than rare treasures, and perhaps in their eyes, these were the most precious gifts.
Ling Yuwei's heart was suddenly a little worried, would the queen who had seen a lot of rare treasures like the gifts she gave? Anyway, once you've done it, send it out and give it a try.
At this time, Nangong Yi, who was not far away, glanced at Ling Yuwei with interest, wondering why she hadn't taken out the gift she had made last night.
After a long while, there were almost no more people giving gifts, so Ling Yuwei got up elegantly, instructed Yun Xi to take the birthday cake she made, and walked towards the queen with lotus steps.
"Queen Mother, this is a gift prepared for you by Wei'er herself, I wish you a happy birthday and eternal happiness!" Ling Yuwei put the cake in Yun Xi's hand in front of the queen, and there was a hint of nervousness in her heart, not knowing if the queen would like it.
And there was already a whisper below, all speculating about what the gift Ling Yuwei would give, because the packaging from the outside looked very exquisite, and it looked very large, much bigger than the gifts given by others.
"Wei'er really has a heart, I don't know what is in this?" The queen didn't expect Ling Yuwei to give her a gift, and it seemed to be very special, she couldn't guess what it was.
"Queen Mother, this thing is called a 'birthday cake', and it is specially used to celebrate her birthday." Ling Yuwei carefully took down the box outside, and for a moment, a colorful and beautifully shaped birthday cake appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
On the top of the cake is also written "Happy birthday to the queen".
"Wei'er, is this something edible?" The queen's eyes lit up, as if she had never seen such a strange thing, not only did it look good, but it also smelled a faint fragrance, which instantly aroused people's appetite.
"Hehe, of course you can eat it, Wei'er will prepare it for her aunt." Ling Yuwei took out the knife and plate that had been prepared a long time ago, gently cut two pieces of cake and handed them to the queen and the emperor.
Seeing the queen and the emperor put the cake in their mouths, Ling Yuwei's heart was a little worried, not knowing if they would find it delicious.
"Sweet and delicious, oily but not greasy, soft in taste, sweet in taste, so delicious!" After the queen finished eating the cake, she was full of praise, and her eyes were full of approval when she looked at Ling Yuwei, she really didn't expect her to have such skills.
"It's indeed a rare delicacy, and after eating, it makes people feel refreshed and fragrant." After eating, the emperor also gave a high evaluation, although he ate delicious food every day, but such a unique taste has never been tasted.
"Thank you for your appreciation." After listening to the evaluation of the emperor and the queen, Ling Yuwei's face finally showed a smile, fortunately, they both liked it, so it was not in vain for her hard work last night.
"How can this palace have such a good thing to enjoy? Let's let everyone here try it. The queen made such a decision with a moment of joy, but she was a little embarrassed by Ling Yuwei.
Although she had tried her best to make the cake the largest, it was still a little difficult to distribute it to so many people here, and she could only get a very small piece for one person.
But fortunately, this kind of work doesn't need Ling Yuwei to do, she just feels that it's a pity that her cake has to be divided into such a small piece, maybe she can't taste its original taste at all.
The cake was finally divided, and it was also well received by everyone present, and everyone was also impressed by Ling Yuwei, feeling that she was no longer the stupid and stupid woman she used to be, but she was ingenious and blue-hearted.
After Nangong Yi finished eating the cake, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes looked at Ling Yuwei inadvertently, she was indeed an unexpected woman.
Meng Ruolan looked at Ling Yuwei with jealousy while eating the cake, how could she be a stupid woman, how could she make such a delicious thing?
Especially when he saw that she was in the limelight now, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and he was quickly thinking of ways to calculate her.
