Chapter 208: Divide the Cake

"Today, I would like to take advantage of the banquet to introduce to you that these two are the newly recognized stepparents of the dog, Mr. Fu Yun and his wife."

As soon as Zhao Gaowei's voice fell, everyone was in an uproar.

How much honor is it for the son of the world to recognize his father-in-law and mother? The degree to which you can directly rise to the top!

Even though King Cheng'an is weak in the court, once he is involved with him, he will be somewhat involved in the status of the emperor's relatives.

Not to mention anything else, at least in this Lingnan, there is no need for food and clothing.

For a while, the eyes of envy or jealousy gathered on Xie Yunshu and the others again.

At this time, Zhao Gaowei led Zhao Yi to the banquet table of the two.

"Zhao Yi greets his father-in-law."

The little child made a big salute to the two of them, and the matter was settled.

Ye Hao, who had already been mentally prepared, did not stop her this time, but waited for the ceremony to be completed, and handed over the big wooden box on the table.

"This is my birthday present that I promised you, can I take it apart?"

Winking at Zhao Yi with a smile, she took advantage of her fineness in the afternoon and returned to the yard to work for an hour before making the fresh birthday cake.

Although she hadn't had dinner yet, it wasn't suitable for desserts, but she knew that Zhao Yi had been chattering all afternoon, so it was always okay to open it up and take a look first.

The wooden box looked about half a person tall, and Zhao Yi definitely couldn't take it, or the two maids behind him held it together.

After obtaining his father's consent, Zhao Yi smiled and was ready to open the box.

"Wait a minute, this box is specially made, and the way to open it is not the usual way."

Ye Hao stopped his actions and immediately asked Lin Bin beside him to help.

It stands to reason that the packaging of the birthday cake should also have a bow tied with a red ribbon, but this does not match the etiquette of this era, so she simply gave up.

It's just that this box is still the same as the cake packaging box in the previous life, with a base and a square lid, and the lid needs to be lifted up.

Lin Bin raised his hands slightly, and the snow-white cake appeared in front of everyone, gently spreading along with the strong creamy fragrance and sweet fruit aroma.

The guests sitting below were okay, the smell of the cake was not very strong, and it couldn't be drifted away for the time being.

And the person sitting near Ye Hao smelled an attractive fragrance firmly.

Especially for women, this extremely sweet taste is simply irresistible.

"It's a sweet dish called a cake, and it tastes so sweet that it's good to eat after a meal."

After a brief introduction, Ye Hao motioned to Lin Bin to close the lid.

After all, it is a hot summer day, and the cake has been in the air for a long time, and the cream is easy to spoil and the taste will deteriorate.

Zhao Yi was satisfied and returned to his place with his father with the cake.

After another thank-you speech, dinner finally began.

Thanks to Ye Hao's selfless dedication, everyone couldn't fault the mistakes in this dinner, and those guests who liked to drink even had a round stomach and drank less wine.

So much so that in the end, the ingredients prepared by the palace dining room were used up, and everyone was still a pity.

"Isn't this Lingnan flavor? The taste is so strange that it's hard to resist."

After eating, some guests from other regions chatted with their colleagues nearby, and their mouths were full of praise for the food in the palace.

There were local officials in Lingnan in the crowd, who immediately waved their hands and denied it.

"Brother Tai is wrong, this is not Lingnan flavor, I think it is the chef who has cultivated superb skills in the palace."

"No, no, no, I have been to the county town in the south of Lingnan, and I was fortunate to taste the restaurant Wangyue Lou opened by the son of the Fu family in Jiangnan, and the taste is very similar to the dishes of today's banquet in the palace. I guess the prince has a discerning eye and bought some noodles from Mochizuki Tower, right?"

Some guests who have tasted Mochizuki Tower pointed out the key points to the point.

Although the dishes of the royal chefs are not exactly the same as those of Mochizuki, the cooking techniques and seasonings they use are the same

, so it does look more like a family.

Hearing that there was still something about the Fu family, everyone's topic opened again.

"Eh, I heard today that it seems that the eldest son of the Fu family has also come to the banquet, but he has never seen anyone."

The court was extremely shocked by Xia Bohan's departure from Beijing, and even with these officials with low official positions, there were many discussions in private.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the nearest Jiangnan area, but the Xia family didn't seem to have reacted.

Except for the old lady of the Fu family who had passed her birthday before, and King Ruixian's past trip was eye-catching, the Xia family didn't seem to have any attitude at all.

This time, the birthday of the prince of Cheng'an Wangfu also only came to the Fu family, and it did not attract much attention.

After all, everyone knows that the eldest son of the Fu family seems to have been abandoned by the family over the years, living alone in Lingnan, and it is reasonable to come to the banquet of Cheng'an Palace, the lord of Lingnan.

Fu Ru'an's improvement in health is still only rumored in the Jiangnan area, and the Xia family blocked the news in Jiangnan.

In fact, all people with online IQs understand that most of the lifeblood of Jiangnan is in the hands of the Xia family, and the Fu family is just rich.

In such a light business era, the richest man in Jiangnan is far inferior to the Xia family who holds the position of Jiangnan County Guard and has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangnan.

Having soldiers is the real backer, not to mention that the Xia family itself is not short of money.

The Fu family has been able to mix well over the years, and it is not because of the in-law relationship with the Xia family that other families in the Jiangnan area dare not compete for the limelight?

Fu Ru'an is the key to the relationship between the Fu family and the Xia family.

It is no wonder that King Ruixian would be willing to personally appreciate the birthday banquet of Mrs. Fu, for the wealth of the Fu family and the soldiers of the Xia family.

However, the Xia family didn't nod, and Fu Hongzhuo could only hold back his thoughts if he wanted to climb the big tree of King Ruixian.

Now the biggest move, that is, King Ruixian, clearly wants to win over the Jiangnan region for his own use.

It's just that the capital has not reacted so far, which has left many officials scratching their heads.

But for King Cheng'an, who is far away in the Lingnan region and in a corner of peace, these things have nothing to do with him.

After dinner, everyone was going to leave.

Zhao Yi wiped his mouth clean, looked at his treasure box with glowing eyes, stood up and ordered the maids behind him to help carry him back to the yard.

He wants to have Ye Hao's birthday gift to himself!

Just as Zhao Yi was excitedly preparing to leave, an inopportune voice sounded.

"Shizi, I heard that this cake is a birthday gift from Madame Fu, and it is a suitable dessert after dinner. Today is your birthday, why don't you let everyone take a look at Madame Fu's craftsmanship?"

It was Zhao Yunqing who was sitting on Zhao Gaowei's left hand side who spoke out.

Although Zhao Yunqing had a smile on her face, her eyes were full of ill intentions.

If she hadn't seen Zhao Yi preparing to run away, she wouldn't have been in a hurry to stop the other party, so she had to get the birthday cake out.

She has been haunted by that incident in the afternoon, even if she knows that the other party is the mother of the son, she can't help but find fault and give herself a breath.

When Lin Bin opened the cake before, she only glanced at it from a distance, and she couldn't really see it, and she didn't smell it.

stopped Zhao Yi and proposed to share the cake, in order to give himself a reason to deliberately find fault.

Sharing the gift that Ye Hao prepared for herself, Zhao Yi was ten thousand unwilling in his heart, and immediately pursed his mouth and looked at Zhao Yunqing angrily.

But Xie Yunshu taught himself that he couldn't be willful on such an important occasion, he could only hold back his anger and turn his eyes for help at his father.

However, Zhao Gaowei didn't seem to feel his mood, and actually agreed to the other party's words.

"That's fine."

Then he stroked his son's back and patted him comfortingly.

Where can Zhao Gaowei not see that Zhao Yunqing is deliberately looking for trouble? Rather than rejecting her in front of everyone, causing everyone to speculate that King Cheng'an and King Ruixian were at odds, it was better to follow each other's wishes.

For the leaves

Zhen's craftsmanship, he has full confidence, just waiting for Zhao Yunqing to slap himself in the face.

As for Zhao Yi, he could only compensate the other party afterwards.

After all, if you really want to refuse Zhao Yunqing's words, it will not only refute the face of Ruixian's palace, but also easily affect the reputation of your own palace, which is really worth the loss.

Hearing his father's words, Zhao Yi glanced at the other party aggrievedly, and asked the maid to take out the cake with great reluctance.

At this time, Ye Hao stood up, walked towards Zhao Yi, and said with a smile:

"Since I want to share, I'll share the cake."

When she walked to Zhao Yi's side, she gently stroked the top of the other party's head and whispered in his ear:

"Well, I'll make one for you later."

There is still some unused whipping cream left in the system space, because it took a lot of money to do the test before, so I had to buy another liter later, and there is still a surplus after this is done.

A smaller one is enough.

Someone wants to provoke herself, Ye Hao will not flinch easily, generously put the cake on the banquet table that was cleaned up in front of Zhao Yi, and opened the box.

The cake is huge, with three layers, each layer of snow-white cream with different fresh fruits, the bottom layer is bananas, the second layer is mangoes, and the top layer is the least common yellow peach.

Although these fruits are extremely common and cheap in modern times, they were extremely rare in ancient times.

If it weren't for the fact that he was backed by the Cheng'an Palace, he could pick things from the treasury, Ye Hao was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to make up these three kinds of fruits!

There were forty or fifty guests present, and the three-tiered cake was a little reluctant to be divided, so Ye Hao could only cut a small piece of each portion and taste it.

Plates of cakes were delivered to everyone, all half-creamed half-cake embryos.

The sweet aroma instantly spread throughout the front hall, causing the newly eaten guests to swallow their saliva again.

Not surprisingly, Zhao Yunqing also held the plate sent by the maid in her hand, and looked at the beautiful cake with an unkind expression, as well as the mango with only one piece on it.

Although mangoes can be regarded as a rare thing, it is not that she has never eaten it for a princess.

She was angry that why there were at least two pieces of fruit on the plates of others, but she only had one?!

Ye Hao used an authoritarian cake knife to divide the cake while humming a little song, feeling very proud.

Hmph, find fault?.

It's like who doesn't hack it!

The cake with only one piece of fruit was specially given to Zhao Yunqing! Not only is there only one cake, but the cream is much less than the others!

After the whole cake was divided, even King Cheng An was holding a plate in his hand.

It's just that in his and Zhao Yi's plates, the cake is the largest and the most fruit.

Naturally, no one dared to speak out against this.

"Please taste it, this cake is also my first time making, if there is anything wrong, please advise."

Ye Hao had a smile on her face and spoke extremely modestly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone could no longer bear it, and they picked up the spoons in their hands and started.

The charm of the cake lies in the sweetness that can heal people's moods, and the taste of the dishes that everyone used before is still in the mouth, and this bite of the cake is only sweet in an instant.

"Wow! It's delicious!"
