The surprise brought by the cream cake to Zhao Yi exceeded his expectations, and he praised while eating the cake with his head bored, and the corners of his mouth were pasted with some cream.

Although the others still have to maintain elegance and etiquette, and cannot be as presumptuous as Zhao Yi, the movements in their hands are non-stop, and it is obvious that they also have great respect for this cake.

In ancient times, when there were only two sweeteners, sucrose and very little honey, the impact of cream cake was undoubtedly huge.

Almost everyone present was full of praise, especially those female family members, who were quite nostalgic for the sweet and greasy taste in their mouths after eating a small piece.

Listening to everyone's praise, Zhao Yunqing was so angry that her teeth itched, and she bit the spoon and didn't let go.

However, on the other hand, the plate in front of her was also clean, no different from everyone else.

No, she finally found a chance to vent her anger, she can't just do it!

She recognized the deliciousness of the cream cake in her heart, but because of the ugliness she had made in the garden before, she had to blame this thing for not being good!

Suddenly remembering a rare thing that has been prevalent in the Jiangnan area recently, her eyes lit up.

"If you want me to say, although this cake is delicious, it is still a little worse than the new rock candy in Jiangnan recently."

Slowly putting down the spoon, Zhao Yunqing sighed with pity, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and showed that she was not interested in cream cakes.

Her voice wasn't loud, but at least everyone in the hall could hear it.

When the first words of criticism of the cream cake came out, the women who had been impressed raised their heads and looked dissatisfied.

It's just that when they saw clearly whose mouth they were saying this, they retracted their thoughts and didn't dare to say more.

Even the other palace maids swallowed back the dissatisfied words in their mouths in the spirit of not causing trouble.

Although they are the same concubines as Zhao Yunqing, their status is indeed much lower than that of each other, and there is no need to make enemies for themselves.

The other people present, all of them are officials, and naturally there are also people who have tasted rock candy with rich families.

In all fairness, the taste of rock candy is surprising, but it's still a little worse than a cream cake.

One is a flavoring and the other is a dessert, of course, not the same.

Ye Hao, who knew this very well, was speechless, and thought that this Zhao Yunqing could make some trouble, but he just took out rock candy to talk about it.

That's right, except for Fu Ru'an, only a few people in Manyi County know that the rock sugar business comes from her.

However, didn't Zhao Yunqing, a fool, hit the muzzle of the gun by himself?

Ye Hao held back a smile in her heart, ready to wait for the most appropriate time to tell this matter and slap the other party in the face.

With her arms clenched, she stood aside, waiting for the other party's next move.

And Zhao Yunqing saw that Ye Hao was unmoved, her eyelids jumped, but she still managed to calm down.

"Also, I think Mrs. Fu has been staying in Lingnan and has never seen something as precious as rock candy. Why don't you wait for my next visit and bring you some tastes?"

She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of pride and contempt, which anyone could see.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, and even the atmosphere of the entire hall cooled down.

Zhao Gaowei calmly sat on the main seat and pressed Zhao Yi, who was extremely dissatisfied next to him.

The atmosphere was so embarrassing, Ye Hao glanced at Zhao Yi, whose little face was flushed with anger, and shook her head helplessly, this kid is still a little more angry.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to slap her face, a clear voice came from the middle of the hall below.

"The county lord said this, the little girl has a slightly different opinion."

A young girl stood up from the crowd and looked at Zhao Yunqing, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Is that her?"

Seeing the face of the girl who got up, Ye Hao raised her eyebrows in surprise, she had the impression that this person was the only official in the garden who was willing to stand up and speak in the afternoon.

It's okay to come out and speak once, she just thinks that the other party has the intention to attract the attention of King Cheng'an. This can be maintained twice in a row since

Self, is it possible that there is a relationship with the original owner?

But even though Ye Hao turned the original owner's memory upside down, she didn't find the slightest clue about this girl.

No, if you wear a veil, you can't see the other party's face!

Just when she was entangled, there was also a dispute around the girl.

"Sit down! Are you trying to offend your father and the Ruixian Palace?!"

The middle-aged man next to the girl had a dark face, and it was obvious that he did not agree with his daughter's actions.

The middle-aged man's surname is Wei, and he is an official to the Wupin Middle School, and he actually has no real power. Except for the ancestor who had a champion, there is no other one who can get his hands on it.

Now that most of the power in the capital is controlled by the Fan family, even Xia Bohan, who can fight against him, has run away, and their kind of civil servants can only find another way out in addition to worshipping under the Fan family.

This is also an important reason why the other party is willing to travel thousands of miles from the capital to Lingnan to participate in a birthday banquet for the prince.

But although he wanted to have a good relationship with the Cheng'an palace and transfer his position to Lingnan, even if he was demoted, it was better than staying in the capital and falling into the whirlpool of strife.

However, it is very unwise to offend the Ruixian Palace.

The girl pressed her father's hand, lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Father, how many people in this banquet hall have the same idea as us? How can we stand out from the crowd and be favored by King Cheng'an? If you don't dare to do anything like this, this trip will be in vain!"

The man was speechless at these words, and the movements in his hands paused.

"The daughter has looked carefully, and this son and mother are very valued by King Cheng'an. If we can use this to please each other, it may not be a breakthrough. You have to think about whether you give up King Cheng'an because you are afraid of offending King Ruixian, or take such a risk to gain King Cheng'an's favor!"

The girl's words were exquisite, and the man's expression was complicated, but she finally let go.

In the face of real interests, he still knows how to make trade-offs.

Although King Ruixian is said to be more powerful than King Cheng'an, he is a lonely and unknown Zhongshu scholar, where can he get into the eyes of the other party?

I'm afraid that even if I get in with all my wealth, it will be difficult to find a stable life.

On the contrary, King Cheng'an, although he is not interested in an official position like him, will not pay too much attention to interests like King Ruixian, at least in exchange for stability.

For the sake of the family, for the sake of the days to come, offend if you offend!

Seeing that her father acquiesced to her actions, the girl continued to raise her head and looked at Zhao Yunqing with an angry face.

"County Lord, the little girl is fortunate to have tasted that rock candy, it is indeed good. But the use of rock sugar is no different from the white sugar purchased from neighboring countries, and it is only used for flavoring. Today, the cream cake shared by Mrs. Fu is a rare delicacy, sweet but not greasy, and has an endless aftertaste, which is completely different."

When these words came out of everyone's hearts, they all nodded secretly yes.

Everyone was satisfied, but Zhao Yunqing was not happy.

I've just been majestic for a while, why did this eye-catching *** come out and talk so much?!

"This county lord is talking to Mrs. Fu about this, how dare you talk about it as the daughter of a little five-rank official?!"

Facing Ye Hao, she couldn't press each other with her identity, she could only be sarcastic. But for this girl, she did not restrain her arrogance, and her eyes were full of disgust and contempt.

Many turned sympathetic glances to the girl.

"The little girl is just talking about things, I'm really sorry for offending the county lord."

Luo Luo bowed generously, but the girl only had a little grievance on her face, and she didn't apologize at all.

In this way, it became that Zhao Yunqing could not be reasonable, so he could only bully others.

Ye Hao, who had watched the drama for a long time, clapped her hands and finally appeared.

"I think this girl is right, rock candy and cake are not the same kind of thing, how can they be compared?"

Seeing that the two of them had a faint tendency to argue with themselves, Zhao Yunqing's face was dark

one layer.

"Mrs. Fu's words are wrong, these two are sweet, why can't they be compared?"

Today she is going to bite this to death, and she will definitely not give the other party any chance to refute.

Seeing the other party's unyielding momentum of not being able to reach the Yellow River, Ye Hao suddenly smiled and took a step forward.

"The county lord may not know that this rock candy itself was developed by me, and its use should be clear to me, right?"

Raising eyebrows slightly and looking at each other, the smile on her face looked sincere, but it was actually full of banter.

Rock candy is from Ye Hao?!

Except for Xie Yunshu, Lin Bin and Zhao Yi, who were in the know, everyone else was in an uproar and looked at her in shock.

Even Zhao Gaowei is no exception.

He only knew that rock candy was related to Fu Ru'an before, Ye Hao seemed to have business dealings with Fu Ru'an, and he never thought that the cooperation was rock candy!

I heard that this thing has been speculated to a sky-high price in the capital!

Zhao Yunqing, who was stunned for a moment, immediately shook his head and screamed as if convincing himself:

"No! No way! You must be lying!"

The sharp voice made Zhao Gaowei couldn't help frowning, wanting to scold the other party.

Such a gaffe is not the decency of a person in the royal family.

Looking at Zhao Yunqing's stimulated denial, Ye Hao kept smiling on her face, still looking calm.

It's okay if you don't believe it, isn't Fu Ruan in Pingcheng County? As long as he comes forward to certify, it is useless for the other party to be a scoundrel...

With such a low-level method, Ye Hao didn't bother to deal with Zhao Yunqing.

said that Cao Cao Cao would arrive, but before she could say that she was going to invite Fu Ru'an, the latter took the initiative to come in from the door of the hall.

However, instead of walking in, he was pushed in a wheelchair.

"Fu Ru'an is late, please forgive me."

Fu Ru'an's voice spread throughout the hall, waking up the stunned crowd.

Zhao Gaowei looked at him who appeared at the right time, the expression on his face softened, and he responded in a gentle tone:

"Fu Gongzi is serious, you are not in good health, you should rest more."

In fact, Fu Ru'an had already entered the palace in the morning, but he was too weak, so King Cheng'an specially placed a quiet courtyard for him to rest.

This has never appeared in front of people.

Fu Ru'an smiled slightly and aimed his gaze at Zhao Yunqing.

"I just heard that the county lord of Yunqing is very interested in the rock candy sold below? However, this rock candy was indeed developed by Madame, and it was only sold on behalf of the lady."

The people who were already extremely curious about Fu Ru'an were in an uproar again when they heard what he said.

Rock candy rose from the Jiangnan region, and many people secretly speculated whether it was from the Fu family, but Fu Hongzhuo never admitted it, and the shop for sale had nothing to do with the Fu family on the surface, so he had to give up.

But now that Fu Ru'an admitted in public that the rock candy was sold by him, everyone was surprised and a little emotional.

But, Ye Zhen is a woman, is it really she who developed rock candy?

Even if Fu Ru'an admitted it personally, some people still had doubts.

It's just that at this time, the focus of the audience has become Zhao Yunqing.

was slapped in the face by what he said, the county lord's face was completely unbearable this time!
