Learning the hardcore harem life of a princess

Chapter 10 Steamed Cakes

The three of them tossed in the kitchen until midnight, and finally made a steamed cake that Tantai Ziyu was satisfied with. She explained the principle to Xia Huan, and Xia Huan soon understood.

"Miss, miss, it's time to get up and greet the queen mother." Xia Meng called.

Tantai Ziyu squinted and looked outside: "It's not yet dawn?"

"The young lady should get up too, she needs to get up and wash up."

"I'll sleep a little longer." Tantai Ziyu slept late yesterday, but now she is sleepy.

"This is not acceptable. If the queen mother is angry, she will be punished again."

"Don't worry, I'm ready." Tantai Ziyu wrapped herself up with a quilt as soon as she turned over.

Although Xiaomeng was worried, seeing her young lady's exhausted appearance, she couldn't bear to scream anymore, and let her sleep for a while.

Sleeping knows that it's been an hour since she slept, Tantai Ziyu didn't put on makeup, and she was in a bit of a mess, with some flour on her body, no matter how she looked, she just ran out of the kitchen in a hurry.

"Miss, is that so?" Xia Zhen said in surprise.

"It's too late." Tantai Ziyu said and picked out a pair of pants.

Thick cotton was sewn into the knees of the trousers, which could not be seen even with the robe covering the outside. In case her plan failed and was punished by the queen mother to kneel, her knees could withstand it.

Xia Meng was a little surprised when she saw such pants: "Why didn't I think of this method before, it can save the lady from suffering from punishment and kneeling."

"Okay, Xia Ying and Xia Huan come with me. You two look at Taixi Palace. Some palace people don't need you when you come. You can ask Eunuch Chen to return them." Tantai Ziyu ordered people to start ran outside.

Xia Zhen didn't follow but was worried: "Can our lady do it?"

"It should be possible." Xia Meng said uncertainly, "Just now, Miss said that she would dismiss the unnecessary palace servants. Did that mean to clean Taixi Palace?"

"It should be." Xia Zhen said uncertainly, and now they feel that understanding what the lady said depends on comprehension.

The third lady, the fourth concubine, and the second beauty in the Kangshou Palace were all sitting there dignifiedly, but they kept looking outside the hall out of the corner of their eyes. Today, the Queen Mother specified that the Queen should come to pay her respects. Don’t say that the Queen is coming and wait for the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother After waiting for such a long time, the queen did not even come.

They all knew very well that even if they were favored by the emperor in this palace, they would not be able to walk sideways, because there was a queen dowager up there, and the emperor would not dare to say anything about the affairs of the harem if the queen mother said a word.

Tantai Ziyu brought Xia Ying and Xia Huan into the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a hurry, but was blocked by the guards at the gate. People went in.

"You are all here." Tantai Ziyu glanced at the two rows of women sitting neatly according to their identities on both sides and walked straight to the queen mother: "Mother, my son got up early and wanted to prepare some snacks for the mother, but I didn't expect to be delayed." It's time, please ask your mother to make amends." She saluted awkwardly.

Because I stayed in Taixi Palace for a year, I didn't need to salute others. I'm really not good at saluting.

People on both sides, including the queen mother, were taken aback. When did the queen and queen mother get so close?Even the Queen Mother didn't know.

The queen mother looked at Tantai Ziyu, but her complexion was much better than before, and there was no other change, so it suddenly gave people the feeling that she had grown three heads and six arms.

Seeing that her makeup was not painted and some flour was still on her body, she felt angry.

"It's not proper for a queen to appear in Kangshou Palace in such a slovenly manner." The queen mother said angrily.

Tantai Ziyu stood there with an aggrieved face: "I get up early to prepare snacks, and I am afraid that I will delay the time to pay my respects."

Mrs. Meng on the side sneered: "The Queen Mother seems to be very filial, you know that the Queen Mother can't eat snacks now."

"I know, that's why I worked hard to make a new kind of dessert. It's not only sweet and delicious, but also melts in the mouth, and it's also very suitable for breakfast." Tantai Ziyu looked straight over.

"How could there be such dim sum in the world? The empress is trying to excuse herself for being late."

"Hey, let me tell you, do you like to fight against me?" Tantai Ziyu felt uncomfortable when she put her akimbo on her hip.

"Okay." The queen mother said with some disgust: "If it is really as good as you said, the Ai family can not hold you accountable for being late."

"Okay." Tantai Ziyu smiled and took the tray in Xia Huan's hand and sent it over in person.

This steamed cake was made by Xia Huan in the morning, and it is still hot at this time, with honey and milk added in it, it tastes just right at this time.

At the same time, Grandma Liu gave Tantai Ziyu a bad look and took the tray from Tantai Ziyu.

The people below all looked nervously at the Empress Dowager eating the things brought by Tantai Ziyu. They all knew that the Empress Dowager likes sweets and has bad teeth. If they can please the Empress Dowager in this respect, it will be smooth sailing in the palace.

The empress dowager sang a mouthful, she was a little surprised, so she ate another mouthful, finished one before she knew it, and then took another one and ate it without waiting for Mammy Liu to give it to her.

The people below were surprised, it seemed that the Empress Dowager liked this kind of dim sum very much, otherwise she wouldn't be like this, and suddenly murmured in her heart.

"Your Majesty." Aunt Liu seemed to remind her.

The queen mother gave her a dissatisfied look, and knew what was going on, she wiped her hands and looked at Tantai Ziyu: "The Ai family sees you as pure filial piety, so don't pursue today's matter, you should retire."

"Yes." Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Empress, I have something to discuss with you." Tantai Ziyu hurriedly said.

Although the Queen Mother thought the cake was delicious, she didn't have a good impression of Tantai Ziyu: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"This matter is of great importance, I have to discuss it with my queen alone." Tantai Ziyu said very seriously.

The queen mother thought for a while: "You all step back."

Although everyone was curious, they all withdrew one after another, not knowing what the queen was going to do.

After Tantai Ziyu and other concubines retired, Xia Ying and Xia Huan also retired, and the Queen Mother felt that what she said must be very important.

"What's the matter with you?" the queen mother said very solemnly.

"The queen mother is saved, save the children." Tantai Ziyu saw that Liu Nanny would not back down, so she began to cry directly.

The Queen Mother was taken aback by her sudden behavior: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. It's out of manner to cry like this."

Tantai Ziyu stopped pretending when she heard what the queen mother said, and sat directly on the Xiaofeng chair beside the queen mother, which was her position: "I don't want to be a queen anymore, I want to leave the palace."
