The ladies and concubines in the palace were very curious when they heard about this.

They had only heard that the daughter of the Wu family had affection for the son of the Shen family, and they thought that the relationship between the two families must be very good, but they didn't expect that the relationship between the two families would be so stiff now.

The women in the harem have always had nothing to do all day, so they are naturally very curious about these rumors, but they didn't hear any signs after much inquiry, so they became even more curious about this matter.

……

On this day, the sky was clear.

The eunuchs of the inner court were ordered by the queen to go out to collect novel food and knick-knacks.

This is not the first time, almost everyone in the harem knows, the queen always likes to collect these folk novelty gadgets to chat about to solve, so there are many people who want to stutter, can always find some strange things to send into the queen's palace, but probably see too many types, some things are sent into it like a stone sinking to the bottom of the sea, the queen sometimes doesn't even look at it, and even loses her temper. And the things in the capital are almost bought, so every time it comes to the day of going out of the palace to procure, the chief eunuch is always very difficult.

But the day seems to be different.

As soon as the chief eunuch came out of the palace, he heard someone talking excitedly on the street, and the appearance of his eyebrows fluttering made him very curious and stopped and listened for a long time.

The man was probably a rich man, who was standing in front of his carriage at this time, and said excitedly with another son: "Brother Tai, I am absolutely not exaggerating about this matter, you must go to Miss Shen's shop to buy it and taste it, it is definitely something you have never seen in this capital, and it is absolutely delicious." ”

Another person asked suspiciously: "Brother Tai is inevitably too exaggerated, you and I have grown up in this capital, I haven't seen any novelty things, so you won't praise it so much." ”

"It's true, I'll take you to taste it in a while, especially the pair of leather milk made by Miss Shen's hands......"

Double Skin Milk ...... What is that?

The buying father-in-law was listening on the side, really curious, so he couldn't help but walk over, and first bowed to the two apologetically: "Two sons, sorry to interrupt, I just heard the two of you talking about what double skin milk...... I wonder if you can tell me what it is?"

The little boy glanced him up and down, then smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, what we were talking about just now is not an object, but a very delicious food, called double skin milk, looking at Your Excellency's dress, it should be from the palace, right?" ”

The eunuch sneered, noncommittal.

The little boy continued without caring at all: "The shop we just talked about is Su Ji in the north of the city, these novel foods are made by a girl surnamed Shen, if you are interested, it is better to go and have a look, but the business of that shop is very hot, whether you can buy it depends on your luck." ”

After the conversation, the father-in-law thanked the two, and his originally sad face was also a little relaxed.

Since it is a novel food, then at least I can explain it to the queen mother.

Immediately, he looked for the direction that the two said, and sure enough, he saw this Su Ji shop on the side of the road in the north of the city, at this time the sun was in full bloom, and the street was sparsely populated, but only the people in front of this store were bustling, a lively scene.

He managed to squeeze through the crowd, only to find that there was not much left of all the food left in the store.

He hurriedly stated that he wanted all of the rest, but was told by the helper in charge of the sale that he could only buy a maximum of two copies.

In desperation, he had no choice but to identify himself, and then he took away all the rest of the food.

After returning to the palace, he deliberately offered these meals separately, originally he was unwilling to do this kind of work in the past, because if it was in line with the queen's wishes, it was fine, once it did not match, it was common to be punished, but if it was in line with his heart, the richness of the reward was another scene.

So he also had the mentality of trying it today, and served these foods with some trepidation, seeing the queen taste it expressionlessly, his breathing also became short.

I saw that after the queen tasted the first sip of double skin milk, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She raised her eyelids and looked at the person below, her expression was surprised and delighted: "The taste of this thing is novel, and it dissolves in the mouth...... What is this snack called? Why haven't I seen it before? ”

After the chief eunuch heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then knew that he was betting on the right treasure this time, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and buckled his head happily: "Returning to the queen's mother, this thing is a dessert made by Su Ji's shop in the north of the city, and the slave also learned about it by chance." ”

The queen raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Oh? Su Ji? Hongu had never heard of it before. ”

The chief eunuch had long expected that the other party would ask this question, and he had done his homework on this point, so he hurriedly replied: "This shop is the younger brother of Master Su, the little son of the Su family, and the person in charge of this dessert is a girl surnamed Shen, and because of her outstanding craftsmanship, this girl is now very famous in the capital." ”

While listening, the queen couldn't help but eat the remaining half bowl of double-skin milk, and then beckoned with a smile: "It's so delicious, this palace can't be enjoyed by one person." Whoever comes, will distribute these to the sisters of each palace to taste. ”

"Yes." The eunuchs and palace maids below hurriedly claimed that they were.

This dessert was distributed for only an hour, and the ladies of the palace came to the queen's palace to ask where to buy this dessert, and the whole palace was not lively for a while.

The queen was naturally very satisfied, and seeing that everyone asked like this, she simply ordered the people below to bring the person who made this thing into the palace.

Not long after, Shen Baiqing received the order, and when he was leaving, Su Bowen happened to hear the news and hurried over, seeing that she was about to get into the carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

Su Bowen naturally knew that there was a crisis everywhere in the palace, and the eunuch who came to announce the decree only said that the queen mother wanted to invite her into the palace, but did not say what the reason was, so after Su Bowen heard the news, his heart hung in his throat.

Shen Baiqing was also a little apprehensive, but he always felt that it should not be a bad thing, so he reluctantly pulled out a smile and turned his head to comfort him: "Don't worry, it should be fine, since the queen wants to see me, I will go to the palace with me, it just so happens that I haven't seen what the palace is like." ”

"But ......"

Su Bowen wanted to say more, but was interrupted by her, Shen Baiqing's eyes intentionally or unintentionally skimmed to the messenger eunuch standing on the side, signaling him not to say more, after all, his brother was an official in the court.

Su Bowen suddenly closed his mouth in understanding, and could only watch the carriage and horses go away worriedly.
