The Evil King's Pampered Wife: The Concubine of the Divine Doctor

Chapter 180 Huangfu Yi Arrives

Just when Yan Ruobing felt a headache, Xiaotao suddenly pointed at the gate of the courtyard, and shouted joyfully: "Your Majesty! The Fourth Prince is here!"

Seeing Huangfu Yi coming, Yan Ruobing's eyes lit up immediately, and most of the concerns she had just now disappeared.

Ever since Huangfu Yi explained the misunderstanding to Huangfu Ao, Huangfu Ao didn't restrain his feet anymore, so he can still walk around in the palace.

"Fourth prince, long time no see, don't come here without any problems."

Seeing Huangfuyi, Yan Ruobing greeted with a smile, and then asked Xiaotao to prepare tea.

"See empress empress, how is empress recovering from her injuries? Fourth brother specially came to visit!"

Thinking of Yan Ruobing's previous injuries, Huangfuyi felt a little uneasy, so he took the risk of coming to visit in person.

"It's all right."

Yan Ruobing replied with a smile, it seemed that she was very happy to see Huangfu Yi at this moment.

"Hey... What is your mother going to do? Why is there such a strange thing?"

Seeing all kinds of messy things placed on the stone table, Huangfu Yi couldn't help asking curiously.

"These are prepared for the new year's celebration. I am worried that I will not be able to find anyone to help me. Fourth Prince, you came just in time."

Yan Ruobing planned to make fireworks sticks and fireworks first, but the saltpeter and sulfur he bought were not fine enough and needed grinding, which was a laborious task.

"Hehe, what is your order? It's really an honor for the fourth brother to share your worries."

Looking at the colorful things on the table, Huangfu Yi was also more interested. He himself was more playful, so he naturally liked these novel inventions.

Yan Ruobing put the saltpeter into the tinkering cup, and said, "Fourth Prince, just help me grind these into powder one by one, and be careful not to get them on your hands."

"Ma'am, what does Xiaotao need to do?"

Xiaotao came back with tea and saw that Yan Ruobing had started assigning tasks, so she immediately came over, wanting to know what she could do.

"You help me cut out these colored papers, and the shape is like this."

Yan Ruobing demonstrated it to Xiaotao, and cut one of the colored papers into a spiral shape.

After assigning everything, the three began to do their own work seriously.

Yan Ruobing stacked several layers of paper and glued them together, then made it into a tube shape.But these papers were too soft, and they couldn't achieve the effect she wanted.

Seeing Yan Ruobing's worried look, Huangfuyi asked while tossing the stone powder, "Your Majesty, are you making cylinders? Why don't you use bamboo tubes instead?"

A word to surprise the dreamer, hearing what Huangfu Yi said, Yan Ruobing was overjoyed and ordered someone to chop some bamboo back.

Soon, there were a lot of bamboos in the yard, and Yan Ruobing cut them all into sections, and made them into bamboo tubes of just the right size.

Then fill the bottom of each bamboo tube with one-third of the yellow mud, and then put it in the sun to dry.

She made more than 100 of these bamboo tubes in total, and it was already noon when she was done, and the work in Huangfuyi and Xiaotao's hands had just finished.

Huangfu Yi really couldn't guess what Yan Ruobing was going to do, but no matter how he asked, Yan Ruobing refused to reveal a word.

"If the Fourth Prince is not busy, you can stay in the palace tonight. Our little invention will witness a miracle at night."

Yan Ruobing invited Huangfu Yi to have lunch together, and at the dinner table, she even talked about the invention in a mysterious manner.

Huangfu Yi has been curious for a long time, naturally he will not let go of this rare opportunity, so he agreed without thinking.

After lunch, several people continued to be busy until dusk, before finishing most of the work.

Yan Ruobing began to try to make the first firework stick. She carefully mixed all the materials together according to the strict ratio, and then wrapped the bamboo stick tightly with colored paper.

After it was done, it was left to dry in the afterglow of the setting sun for a while, until the sun had completely set and the whole yard was shrouded in darkness, before Yan Ruobing took the firework stick in his hand.

"My lady, what is the use of this thing?"

Watching Yan Ruobing finish it step by step, Huangfuyi still didn't understand what the small bamboo stick in Yan Ruobing's hand was for.

Yan Ruobing pretended to smile, and asked Xiao Tao to extinguish all the candle lights in the yard.

As soon as the lights were turned off, Huangfu Yi became nervous, his dark eyes glowing faintly in the darkness.

Yan Ruobing opened his mouth and smiled again, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. It was so interesting to watch in the dark, and immediately made Huangfu Yi's nervousness disappear.

After just five breaths, Yan Ruobing blew on the torch in his hand, and then ignited the firework stick.

Just hearing the sound of '呲', the firework stick in Yan Ruobing's hand burst into dazzling silver light, the silver light was like a blooming flower, so beautiful and eye-catching in the dark night.

Xiaotao looked at the firework stick, first let out a yell in fright, and then let out a shocked exclamation.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Huangfu Yi stared at Yan Ruobing in a daze, completely unable to believe his eyes, with an incredible look on his face.

"Give you!"

Yan Ruobing handed the fireworks stick to Huangfu Yi's hand, letting him feel it.

It was the first time for Huangfu Yi to hold the fireworks in his hands like this, he felt an indescribable feeling, and his mood was even more unparalleled.

"Your Majesty is such a wonderful woman, this king really admires her!"

After the fireworks were burned out, Huangfu Yi came back to his senses and let out a long sigh.

"I intend to use this for the celebration, what does the Fourth Prince think?"

Huangfu Yi clapped his hands and praised: "Of course! Not only the Queen Mother will like it very much, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will be shocked."

With Huangfuyi's support, Yan Ruobing became more confident.

"Fourth Prince, it's getting late, you go to rest first, there are more things to do tomorrow."

Yan Ruobing smiled slightly at Huangfu Yi to express his gratitude for his help.

Looking at Yan Ruobing's beautiful smile that was as bright as fireworks, Huangfu Yi was slightly taken aback, his heart beating a little faster in vain.

"Ok!"

In order to pretend to be calm, Huangfu Yi just nodded, then turned and left.

In the early morning of the second day, Yan Ruobing didn't sleep in as usual, but was very excited to go to the small kitchen to make delicious food.

She wants to prepare a pastry that the ancients have never eaten, and it is also one of her favorite foods in modern times, which is Shaqima that melts in the mouth.

Yan Ruobing breaks eggs into a proper amount of wheat flour, kneads them into a dough, and then uses a rolling pin to even out the dough into a pancake.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Ruobing cut the pancake into strips as wide as a thumb.

Xiao Tao has been watching from the side, making dim sum and so on, she can also do it, so she doesn't feel too shocked.

Yan Ruobing sprinkled a layer of flour on the strip-shaped noodles to prevent them from sticking, and then put them into the oil pan bit by bit.
