There were only three bunches of candied haws left, all left for Mingyi to eat.

"Somebody come!"

After dividing the things, Zhou Ting wrapped the bags in oil paper, tied the ropes, and shouted out the door.

"Your Majesty."

A guard with a sword came quickly.

"Send it to the mother-in-law. Just say that Mrs. Cheng specially prepared it for her." He tapped the oil paper bag with his sharp-jointed fingers.

"Here."

The guard stepped forward respectfully, picked up the oil paper bag with both hands and left.

After they left, Zhou Ting returned to Mingyi, holding a bunch of candied haws and pastries left for her, "Yiyi, would you like to eat some?"

"Eat." He took the candied haws without asking for pastries.

I took one bite on the red candied haws, bit off a piece and chewed slowly; the sweet and sour taste exploded in my mouth, and when I tasted it carefully, I found that there was no bitter taste.

“Sure enough, the candied haws at this restaurant are still delicious.”

"I know you like it, so I'll ask the big kitchen to make two skewers for you every day until you get tired of it and never want to eat it again." Zhou Ting wiped the wheat-colored candy from her mouth.

The outside of the candied haws is wrapped with a layer of maltose, and inside are red fruits; some of the fruits taste bad, are inedible, and even have a bitter taste. Some fruits are delicious, even sweet. Of course, in order to make the candied haws delicious and attractive, a layer of maltose is still brushed on it to increase the sweetness.

In ancient times, sugar was precious, and even maltose was hard to come by. For ordinary families, maltose was a rare treat because it was sweet. Many families even had children who wanted to take a bite of something sweet.

Back house.

Princess Zhou looked at the guard who came to deliver the things. The guard handed the things to Nanny Xu and stood with her hands down, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"Is your prince going shopping?"

"Replying to the Princess, I and Miss Cheng have just returned; the items in the package were sent to the Princess by Miss Cheng, who asked her subordinates to deliver them."

Needless to say the rest, Princess Zhou understood that they had indeed gone shopping and had just come back; she ordered someone to give her something delicious and fun. As for whether this gift was Mrs. Cheng’s idea or her son’s idea It doesn't matter anymore.

"They are interested. Go back and tell your master that Master Fan is coming soon. Don't miss it to welcome Master Fan."

"I understand, I will resign."

The guard with the knife turned and left.

Princess Zhou looked at the package sent by Nanny Xu and untied the rope herself. She opened the package and looked at the contents. Don't tell me, you wouldn't know if you didn't look at it. It was all cakes.

"Princess, there are so many pastries, all of them are soft-serve. The prince and Miss Cheng are so thoughtful."

"It's your prince who's got it, it's Miss Cheng who's got it; this girl is a good eater. Look at these pastries, all of them are soft. I can tell at a glance that they are produced by the most famous gourmet shop in Fucheng. , I also liked her things the most when I was young.”

Nanny Xu chuckled, "It's true, the princess has better eyesight than the slave."

"You are the only one who can talk." Princess Zhou smiled and did not go into details; she was just teasing, "Ms. Cheng's taste is similar to mine. In this case, isn't there a new batch of good ingredients in the warehouse! Choose some Miao Cheng Send them what is suitable for your age, and then select some jewelry for little girls.”

"Here." After Mammy Xu agreed, she raised her head and asked, "Princess, the Crown Prince has brought Miss Cheng to the mansion, and Master Fan is also coming. Is the Crown Prince paving the way for Miss Cheng?"

Princess Zhou's smile faded slightly. She was not stupid, so she naturally knew her son's intentions.

Aunt Xu knew she had made a mistake and said, "Princess, please forgive me, slave."

"Why are you so nervous?" Princess Zhou shook her head slightly and smiled, "If you want to pave the way, there is nothing wrong with it; as long as the crown prince of our family likes Miss Cheng, then Miss Cheng will be the crown prince's second wife. She is willing to take the trouble to choose one, and with the two nannies I gave her to teach her, she doesn't have to worry about teaching her well." Aunt Xu nodded, no longer pressing the topic, and left to go to the warehouse to choose gifts. Mingyi's stuff.

Princess Zhou took a slow bite of a piece of pastry, and after just one bite, she stopped eating it. As she gets older, her body can’t stand it and gains weight easily after eating too many sweets. Princess Zhou, who has already begun to enter the stage of health care, just wants to taste it. Forget about it.

Aunt Xu selected seven or eight pieces of brightly colored good materials in the warehouse, and selected three sets of top-quality jewelry and sent them to Princess Zhou for inspection.

"Princess, can you see these?"

Princess Zhou glanced at it lightly and said, "It's all good, just send it over; by the way, I have a message for your prince, now that you have made the final choice, there will be no room for regrets in the future."

"Here."

Aunt Xu took her things and left. This time she didn't take the maid with her. Instead, she picked a tray and put it in, and went straight to Tao Yiyuan.

"Ouch, Nanny Xu, why are you here?" The guard with a knife who had just gone to deliver things was startled when he saw the person. He then looked at the tray she was holding in her hand, smiled knowingly, and greeted him neatly. Go up.

Not to serve the prince, they have to be discerning.

"Is the prince inside?" The guards are here, thinking that her prince is indeed in Tao Yiyuan.

It’s one thing to know something in mind, but you still have to ask what you need to ask.

Aunt Xu has developed the habit of being cautious over the years.

"Aunt Xu, aren't you asking questions knowingly? We are all here, and I must be here too." The guard with the knife took the thing from her hand with a smile on his face, "Mommy, please come in."

Nanny Xu nodded and followed him into Tao Yiyuan.

Arriving at the door of the living room, the guard with a knife lowered his eyes and knocked on a door, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Madam Cheng, and Grandma Xu who is with the Princess is here."

While eating in the room, Mingyi threw the candied haws away, and Zhou Ting took it and put it on a clean oil paper bag.

There was only one candied haws left, so he was not afraid to leave it casually; Zhou Ting was afraid that Mingyi would feel pity when he thought about it afterwards.

"Come in."

After seeing Mingyi sit down, Zhou Ting spoke.

Aunt Xu and the guard with swords walked into the living room, but saw no one in the living room. They were in the study next to them. There were bead curtains in the study. They couldn't see their figures and appearances clearly, but they knew that one of them was sitting there. On the imperial concubine's couch, a man sat next to the imperial concubine.

"This slave has met the prince."

"Mother Xu, why are you here?" Zhou Ting asked calmly.

Mingyi is also curious.

Aunt Xu replied, "Returning to your Majesty, the tribute materials from Beijing were delivered two days ago. The Princess Royal Highness ordered her slaves to deliver some materials and jewelry to Miss Cheng."

"Mother is very considerate." Zhou Ting looked at Mingyi.

Mingyi nodded to him, and the two of them got up and walked out. They lifted up the bead curtain and went outside.

"Mother Xu, thank the princess for the reward on my behalf."

"Yes, I will definitely bring the words here." Nanny Xu smiled, but still did not dare to raise her head.

Zhou Ting walked to the guard with the knife and looked at the material. It was indeed good material. "Send these materials to the embroidery room and let the embroiderers make a few more sets of Mingyi's clothes. Both spring and summer clothes are required. It's still the old rule."
