After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 24 Cha Lan’s Thoughts

At this time, Jinse, who was considered an honest person by both Eunuch Yang and the emperor, had returned to the imperial tea room.

Seeing Jinse running back in a hurry just now, Chaqing was worried for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What did the emperor ask you to do? Nothing happened, right?"

Chalan also looked at Jinse.

Jinse was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "It's nothing, I just asked about what happened before.".

As for what happened, Jinse didn't elaborate.

Upon hearing this, Cha Qing asked curiously: "Then why are you running in such a hurry?".

Jinse smiled at her and said sheepishly: "There was a cold wind and I was freezing. I wanted to come back early to warm up by the fire!".

Cha Qing looked at Jinse carefully and felt relieved when he saw that she was really fine.

Cha Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, but don't run like this again in the future, be careful of bumping into people!".

They are just maids, so they have to learn to walk on tiptoes without making any noise when walking in the palace. Jinse was running around like that just now, which was a bit out of order.

Jinse seemed to have thought of this, and nodded obediently to Chalan: "I know Sister Chalan, but I won't do it again!".

Cha Lan nodded with relief, then took her cold hand and said, "Come over and warm yourself by the fire.".

Jinse responded and left.

Cha Qing also poured a cup of hot tea for Jin Se and handed it over.

Jinse took it and took a few sips with a smile.

Cha Lan was holding a teacup while drinking tea and glanced outside the door. She frowned and said, "The weather has been very strange recently. The wind is stronger than usual. I don't know if it's going to snow. It's really weird." It’s getting colder!”.

Cha Qing nodded and responded: "No, it looks like a sunny day, but the wind is really cold. Whenever I go out, the wind blows and makes my face hurt."

Jinse looked outside, nodded and said, "Looking like this, is it really going to snow?".

As he spoke, Jinse sighed: "If it snows, I'm afraid it will be even colder when we look back!".

In previous years, when it snowed, Jinse often shivered from the cold.

Cha Qing sighed and said: "This weather doesn't look like it's going to snow at all. The sun is so bright, but it's so cold that it's abnormal!".

As he spoke, Cha Qing clasped his hands together and muttered, "I just hope God doesn't snow very heavily, otherwise it will really freeze to death!".

Cha Lan glanced at Cha Qing angrily and said, "What are you talking about if you don't want to die?".

Cha Qing stuck out her tongue at Cha Lan and smiled flatteringly.

Chalan shook her head helplessly, and then said: "Although I don't know if it will really snow heavily, let's go to the garbage store and find a way to get more things back. Even an extra blanket will be enough." Can we take some precautions?"

This makes sense, Cha Qing and Jin Se both nodded.

Jinse said: "Sister Chalan is right, it's better to be on guard than to wait to get cold!".

Cha Qing smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry about this...".

After saying that, Cha Qing stood up and took a plate of pastries from the cabinet over there.

She said with a smile: "I haven't eaten enough in the morning, so I'll be fine now. Let's eat something first! It looks like there's still a long time for lunch."

Jinse glanced at Chaqing.

Seeing Jinse's behavior, Chalan explained, "Don't worry, sister Jinse. These are all the leftover cakes from yesterday. It's fine for us to eat them. It's just a bit hard after being stored for a long time, but it's good with hot tea!" .

Jinse nodded. She did see that in the plate that was brought out, there were several pieces of various pastries, making up a large plate. It looked like they were not fresh.Cha Qing had already reached for a piece of glutinous rice cake with a smile, and roasted it slowly in front of the stove.

She said to Chalan: "There were so many left yesterday? If I had known, I would have decorated them when I went back yesterday. I woke up from hunger twice in the middle of the night."

With that said, Chaqing said to Jinse: "Sister Jinse, please eat more. Don't worry about anything. There isn't much else in our imperial tea room, just tea and these snacks."

Jinse nodded and looked at the plate of pastries, thinking that even though he wasn't hungry, he could still eat a few pieces.

Just when she was thinking about which one to eat, Cha Qing spoke again.

Cha Qing motioned to Jin Se for the glutinous rice cake in his hand and suggested: "Don't look at the frozen glutinous rice cake, which is extremely hard, but once baked like this and then eaten, it is soft, glutinous and delicious!".

Other pastries, such as osmanthus cake and mung bean cake, cannot be baked and eaten like this.

Those are relatively dry and can only be eaten with hot tea.

Jinse picked out a piece of glutinous rice cake, imitated the tea-green appearance, and went to roast it by the stove.

Chalan made the same move.

Jinse had never eaten cakes like this before, but as soon as she stuffed the hot glutinous rice cake into her mouth, she immediately squinted her eyes because of the deliciousness.

The stuffing inside the glutinous rice cake should be red bean paste mixed with white sugar. After it is heated, it tastes sweet and glutinous. It is really delicious.

While Cha Qing was fighting the glutinous rice cakes, she looked at Jin Se and smiled: "How about this? It tastes good when baked.".

Jinse squinted and nodded: "Yeah, it's delicious!".

Cha Qing laughed and said to Jin Se, "There are many delicious pastries in our imperial teahouse."

Cha Lan slowly ate the glutinous rice cake in his hand, picked up the tea cup and took a few sips.

When I looked up, I saw the little father-in-law who was delivering the message was here again, so I got up and went to greet him.

The young father-in-law passed the message: "Sister Chalan, the name in front of me is Tianzhan.".

Chalan nodded, hurriedly made tea, and was about to leave when Jinse came over hesitantly.

She asked: "Does the emperor want to add a lamp? Sister Chalan, let me do it. Sister, sit and warm yourself by the fire!".

Unexpectedly, Jinse was so active, Cha Lan looked back at her.

Seeing Jin Se's well-behaved face, Cha Lan thought for a while and didn't refuse: "Okay, just go ahead. Don't rush on the way!".

Jinse nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I know Sister Chalan!".

After saying that, Jinse hurriedly took the tray and left.

Cha Qing sat back again, thought for a while and asked Cha Qing in a low voice: "Why did I look at Jin Se just now as if he was going to the front?"

Cha Qing groaned and glanced at Cha Qing while eating glutinous rice cakes.

After Cha Qing thought for a while, she said nonchalantly: "No, right? Is sister worried about something?".

Cha Lan said: "I just watched sister Jinse on duty for the first day, and I was afraid that she would make a mistake in front of the emperor!".

If you make a mistake while on duty in front of the emperor, you will be punished.

Cha Qing thought for a while and said, "Is everything going to be okay? I heard that the emperor treats sister Jinse very well!".

Cha Qing was originally thinking about something. When she heard Cha Qing's words, she immediately glared at her and whispered: "Your mouth... don't open your mouth and talk nonsense!".
