After sending Shen Ling and the others back to the inn, Song Qinyu went back.

Thinking of what happened today, Song Qinyu only felt that he had done a very bad job, he didn't know what Shen Ling liked at all, he just blindly took Shen Ling to the best place here.

It's not an option......

He muttered for a moment and beckoned his men, "You go and find out what the county lord likes."

"Yes."

His subordinates responded and were about to retreat, but they heard Song Qinyu stop him again.

"Wait."

"What else does the prince command?"

Song Qinyu frowned, looked at the subordinates in front of him and sighed, "That's it, you better not go, if the county lord knows that I investigate her, he should be unhappy."

The corners of his subordinates' mouths twitched slightly, when had he ever seen the city lord so hesitant.

The housekeeper who was adding tea to Song Qinyu on the side smiled with relief when he heard this, he had been by Song Qinyu's side for many years, although Song Qinyu was gentle and polite on weekdays, but in fact, his heart was more indifferent than anything else.

Under the same treatment, there is no special feeling.

Putting down the teapot in his hand, the butler proposed, "Lord Wang, you might as well ask the people around the county lord, they must know what the county lord likes when they follow the county lord."

Song Qinyu's eyes lit up when he was reminded like this, "That's right! This king is going to ......."

However, before Song Qinyu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the housekeeper with a smile, "It's getting late, the prince might as well wait for tomorrow to ask."

Song Qinyu suddenly woke up, and when she saw the housekeeper's interested eyes, the tips of Song Qinyu's ears quietly turned red.

He coughed twice and said embarrassedly, "This king knows."

The sky lit up, and Song Qinyu got up early and went to the inn where Shen Ling was staying.

Seeing that Tao Juan and Luo Yuheng were having breakfast downstairs, Song Qinyu walked over gracefully.

"Peach Juan, Miss Luo, good morning."

Momojuan looked up and said hello, "Good morning."

Luo Yuheng put down the spoon and smiled slightly, "Has the prince eaten?" Would you like to sit down and eat together?".

Song Qinyu came today mainly to get close to Taojuan and Luo Yuheng, and sat on the chair opposite Taojuan when he heard this.

"Then the king is welcome."

Luo Yuheng beckoned Xiao Er to add a pair of chopsticks and sent a bowl of porridge over.

Song Qinyu stirred the porridge in the bowl and asked quietly, "I see that the county lord and the two girls have a good relationship, I think the two girls have been following the county lord for a long time."

Since Shen Ling helped Taojuan rescue Luo Yuheng, Taojuan doesn't think much about it, and she doesn't think about what to eat with Luo Yuheng on weekdays, or how to please Luo Yuheng.

Hearing Song Qinyu ask her, Taojuan counted there with her fingers.

"It seems like five, six, seven, or eight months."

Luo Yuheng was amused by Taojuan's appearance, and gently poked Taojuan's braincase, "You!"

Taojuan touched her head and was a little puzzled, "Sister, what are you laughing at?"

Luo Yuheng didn't answer her, but looked at Song Qinyu with a smile, "I'm afraid the prince didn't want to ask this."

Seeing through his thoughts, Song Qinyu was also not brainy, he asked bluntly, "I don't hide it, I want to ask the two girls if they know what the county lord likes?"

"If you like it...... Momo Juan thought and said, "I once made lotus cake for the county lord, and the county lord seems to like it very much."

Song Qinyu's eyebrows curled, and her smile was as warm as jade, "I wonder if Miss Taojuan is willing to share the recipe of the lotus cake with you."

"Yes, you wait, lord, I'll go write you the recipe." Taojuan said and put down the dishes and chopsticks and went back to write the recipe.

After writing the formula, Taojuan looked at it twice and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but after reading it again, she didn't find it.

She thought she was thinking too much, so she took the recipe and went downstairs.

Taojuan handed the recipe to Song Qinyu, "The prince has put it away, and the method of making lotus cake has been written on it."

Song Qinyu took it, with the other hand

took out a few silver tickets, "Thank you, girl, if you keep some silver tickets, you should think that this king bought lotus cakes."

Taojuan refused, "The prince is too polite, it's just a recipe, it's not worth the prince's expense."

Luo Yuheng followed to help, "Yes, if the prince really wants to thank us, just help us pay for this table."

"It's fine." Song Qinyu responded.

However, Song Qinyu, who got the lotus cake recipe, was no longer thinking about eating now, he hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of porridge and left.

Before leaving, Song Qinyu handed the silver ticket to Xiao Er and settled the account of this table.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Song Qinyu couldn't wait to enter the kitchen, since she was going to prepare something for Shen Ling she liked, it would be more meaningful to do it herself.

He instructed the cooks in the kitchen, "Go out first."

The cooks looked at each other, and all retreated to the outside of the kitchen, where they looked at each other and stood outside and whispered.

"The lord of the city wants to make things himself? Don't you wonder who it's for?"

"The city lord seems to have been quite close to the county lord recently."

"If it's for the county lord, I'll rest assured, don't say I hope the county lord can marry in and stay in our Yancheng."

In the discussion of the cooks, there were a few loud noises in the kitchen from time to time, and several cooks who listened were shocked.

"This ...... Shall we go in and help the city lord?"

"It's still not good, after all, the city lord is for the county lord, and the mind is more important."

"Alright then......

After about two hours, the kitchen was silent, Song Qinyu put the pastries in his hand into the food box, he exhaled a long breath, it seems that it is really not easy to make pastries.

Song Qinyu walked out of the kitchen with the food box, went back to the house to clean his hands and changed into clean clothes, and then went out with the food box.

The cook entered the kitchen after Song Qinyu left, and saw that the knife version in the kitchen was cut several times, and the pot was also blackened by fire, which was miserable.

There was also a cook who noticed that there was a lot of sugar missing from the jar, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Ah......h Can it be delicious?"

But Song Qinyu couldn't hear the words of the cooks.

He came to Shen Ling's door, knocked on the door, and walked in after getting Shen Ling's permission.

"Why is the prince here?"

"I heard Taojuan say that the county lord likes lotus cakes, I made some, the county lord tasted it?" As he spoke, Song Qinyu opened the food box.

The lotus cake with powder was displayed in front of Shen Ling's eyes, and the lotus leaves on the plate and a few lotus seeds looked very similar to the lotus cake made by Taojuan at the beginning.

Shen Ling was unguarded, took out a piece of lotus cake and took a bite, the pastry melts in the mouth, but this taste is ...... It's so sweet and it's heart-wrenching.

Song Qinyu asked expectantly, "How does it taste?"

Shen Ling put down the lotus cake, "Have you ever tasted it, Lord Wang?"
