Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 83 Osmanthus Cake

Jiang Man stood in front of the window, looked at the osmanthus trees outside for a while, and said to Lianqiu, "Let's go pick some osmanthus and make osmanthus cake."

Lianqiu nodded and said, "Master, I'm going to fetch the basket."

Although the two sweet-scented osmanthus trees were newly transplanted, they were not damaged at all. Both trees grew lush and green, with small yellow flowers densely dotted among the leaves.

Jiang Man took Lianqiu, Wandong and several young maids and spent more than half an hour picking a small basket of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Then Jiang Man took Lianqiu, who was carrying a basket, to the small kitchen.

The cook and the eunuch in the small kitchen in Yunhua Palace were all ready before Jiang Man moved in. The cook was a father-in-law surnamed Wang. Eunuch Wang hurriedly greeted Jiang Man when he saw Jiang Man coming to the small kitchen, "little man!" I've seen my wife."

Jiang Man waved her hand and said, "Get up, don't be too polite."

After Wang Gonggong thanked him, he said: "If your lady wants to eat something, you can just tell the villain. Why did your lady come to this pickle place in person?"

Jiang Man shook her head and said, "Go and do your own work, I want to make a pastry myself."

Eunuch Wang glanced at Lianqiu, who was carrying a basket behind Jiang Man, and approached Jiang Man with a friendly smile and said, "Your Majesty is going to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake, right? The villain will help your Majesty."

Jiang Man refused, "No need, as long as I have Lianqiu."

Eunuch Wang could only turn around and leave.

Under Jiang Man's command, Lianqiu began to clean the sweet-scented osmanthus. After cleaning the sweet-scented osmanthus, Lianqiu looked at Jiang Man who had rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Master, do you really know how to make cakes? Why don't you let Eunuch Wang help you?" , or Madam, if you tell me how to do it, just let Eunuch Wang and the others do it."

Misses of the family and the concubines of the harem often talk about the hands-on hands, but most of them just stand aside and move their mouths. There are not many people like Jiang Man who really go into battle by themselves, and Lian Qiu is afraid of Jiang Man. I accidentally burned myself.

Jiang Man smiled at Lianqiu, and said, "Don't worry, my master and I can still cook well, and I won't hurt myself."

As a person who loves to eat, Jiang Man was dissatisfied with Jiang Fu's cooking skills for a while, so she could only do it herself. For this reason, she also studied many recipes and ancient recipes her sister found from various places, and made things Not to mention that it is comparable to these royal chefs in the palace, but it also has its own unique taste.

Lianqiu was dubious, but when Jiang Man started to cook, seeing Jiang Man's familiar movements, Lianqiu finally believed that her master's cooking skills were really good.

While waiting for the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to come out of the cage, Lianqiu kept sniffling, "Master, it smells so good, how long will it be ready?"

"Soon, soon." Jiang Man said.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake came out under the eager anticipation of Jiang Man and Lian Qiu. Liuxiang still has the same taste as before, but because she deliberately put less sugar, it doesn't taste as sweet as before, but the taste is not bad.

Jiang Man picked up a piece for Lianqiu and said, "My craftsmanship is still so good, give it a try."

What Jiang Man said was a bit narcissistic, but Lian Qiu took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Jiang Man, nodded quickly and said, "Master's craftsmanship is good."

Jiang Man made a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in total, she kept a plate for herself, then asked Ban Dong to send a plate to Qian Ning Palace, and she personally sent a plate to Compassion Ning Palace.

Just now when Wandong walked to the gate of Qianning Palace with the food box, Ruan Liangying greeted him, "Why is Miss Wandong here?"

Wan Dong smiled and raised the food box in his hand, and said: "Our master personally made osmanthus cake with the osmanthus flowers picked from the two osmanthus trees in the palace, and specially asked me to send it to the emperor to have a taste, can you Please Eunuch Ruan inform me."

Ruan Liangying heard the words, and said with a smile: "The osmanthus cake made by Empress Zhaoyuan, the emperor must like it very much, Miss Wandong, wait a moment, I will go and report it for you."

Wan Dong smiled and stuffed a purse to Ruan Liangying, "Please Eunuch Ruan."

"Miss Wan Dong is too polite." Ruan Liangying said and stuffed her purse into her sleeve, turned around and went to report to Wan Dong. Dare to make it difficult for Wan Dong, or play tricks behind his back, but Ruan Liangying will feel more comfortable if Ban Dong stuffs money.

Emperor Yong'an heard that Ruan Liangying said that Jiang Zhaoyuan made the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with his own hands and sent it over. He put down his hands in interest, and said to Ruan Liangying, "Let someone come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After answering, Ruan Liangying went out and led Wan Dong in.

After Wan Dong came in, he saluted Emperor Yong'an. Emperor Yong'an looked at Wan Dong and asked, "Is this sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by your master himself?"

Wan Dong respectfully replied: "Returning to the emperor, yes, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake was made by our master himself from picking the sweet-scented osmanthus to serving it on the plate, and only the servants took care of it."

"Since this is the case, why didn't your master send it to me personally?" Emperor Yong'an said, other concubines were sent over by others eagerly, but the little concubine was better, and instead made it by others.

Wan Dong lowered his eyes when he heard the words and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, our master is going to deliver the osmanthus cake to the empress dowager, and he is afraid that the osmanthus cake will not taste good if it cools down, so we can only ask the servants to bring it to the emperor first."

Emperor Yong'an heard the words, and nodded lightly, "Okay, I got it, you can go down."

"The slaves retire."

When Wan Dong left Qianning Palace, he let out a long sigh of relief, only to realize that he was covered in cold sweat just now.

Emperor Yong'an stared at the osmanthus cakes in the basket for a while, then picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite. He didn't like sweets, and he seldom ate sweet and greasy cakes like osmanthus cake, but he took a small bite. After the osmanthus cake was sent by the concubine, Emperor Yong'an discovered that the osmanthus cake could also be fragrant and delicious, sweet but not greasy.

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, the Empress Dowager Zhou was also sitting on the main seat at the moment, took a small bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake Jiang Man sent, and praised: "I didn't expect Jiang Zhaoyuan to have such a good craftsmanship."

Jiang Man looked at the second prince who was crawling up and down on the collapsed floor, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager is Miao Zan, the concubine is just more greedy."

The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and shook her head, "You are just too modest."

Jiang Man smiled shyly when she heard the words.

Jiang Man stayed in the Compassionate Ning Palace for more than half an hour. Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhou was a little tired and the second prince fell asleep, she took Lianqiu back to Yunhua Palace.

Yunhua Palace is not only much closer to Qianning Palace, but also much closer to Compassion Ning Palace than Yufu Garden.

Not long after Jiang Man returned to Yunhua Palace, Emperor Yong'an arrived at Yunhua Palace.

Jiang Man put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, and hurriedly stood up to salute Emperor Yong'an, "I have met the emperor myself."
