"You, Fujin, have a clever mind. How did you celebrate your birthday today?" Emperor Kangxi ate three pieces in a row with satisfaction and was still not satisfied.

The prince was listening, and Yinzhen said: "Fu Jin made birthday noodles for his son. They come in many colors. The noodles can be made into various flavors for my son's first time. They taste very good."

"The noodles will be better if you change the soup base." Emperor Kangxi didn't take it to heart.

"Maybe." Yinzhen still had a sullen face, and the warmth in his eyes betrayed him.

It was this kind of Yinzhen that made Emperor Kangxi aroused curiosity, "Tell me, how did you, Fujin, make the noodles into other colors?"

Yinzhen glanced at the prince, but saw that the prince lowered his head. He had no choice but to tell the truth, "Fu Jinyan is made by dripping vegetable juice into flour. The colors of various vegetables are different, such as green and green leaf vegetables."

"Carrots are red, while cabbage is yellow when cooked."

Emperor Kangxi nodded and understood, "I understand what you mean. I have a question."

"Son, listen."

"Won't the noodles made in this way change color after being cooked? In other words, the noodles made in this way will not discolor?" Emperor Kangxi lost his appetite when he thought of the colorful clumps.

Yinzhen was also curious, "My son doesn't know that the noodle soup that Fujin gave his son was very clear and the color of the noodles did not change; the soup tasted like mutton soup."

"It's true that you, Fujin, have a clever mind." Emperor Kangxi was very satisfied and felt that the daughter-in-law he chose was quite good; she was too young, but her determination was better than anything else.

Emperor Kangxi asked a few more questions, but the prince couldn't get in the conversation and looked a little lonely. Unfortunately, Emperor Kangxi didn't notice the thoughts of his always beloved son.

In Ciren Palace, when Wu Lingzhu came in with the cake, the Queen Mother held her head and closed her eyes to meditate.

"Have grandson-in-law seen Huang Ma? How is Huang Ma?"

The Queen Mother suddenly woke up and looked up, her eyes bursting with joy, "It's from the fourth family! What did you bring to Huang Ma today? It looks like something to eat."

"Isn't it just for food?" Wu Lingzhu put the food box, Nanny Ding and Aunt Wen, walked to the Queen Mother, watched the two nuns put the food box on the table, and opened the box; the pastries were still warm,

You can still smell the fragrance.

The Queen Mother took a look and saw that the cakes were pieced together. They had no patterns or suddenness, they were ordinary, but they were very fragrant. Just looking at them made people greedy.

"What kind of pastry is it? The Ai family has never seen it before."

"Go back to Huangma. This is a cake. My granddaughter-in-law just made it these two days. Try it. It's delicious. Our master likes it very much." Wu Lingzhu took out the plate inside and brought it to the Queen Mother.

Aunt Ding brought the chopsticks prepared in the food box. The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, took the chopsticks and took a bite. It melted in your mouth and left a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth.

"It's fragrant, so sweet. It tastes even better with goat's milk."

"I know if Huang Ma likes it, you can boil the goat's milk and spread it on top and eat it together; it will taste good, it's better than eating it alone."

The Queen Mother put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Have you tried it?"

"No, you can imagine it!" Wu Lingzhu smiled coquettishly, "We all know the taste of goat milk. Just imagine it together with pastries and you will know that it is delicious."

"Yes!" the Queen Mother said melancholy, "It would be great on the grassland. You can find goat milk at any time."

Wu Lingzhu smiled and nodded, "I don't know if Huang Ama will go to Mulan next year. If she goes, my granddaughter-in-law will also want to go with her. She didn't go last year, and she wanted to see the grassland over Mulan. Legend has it that the wind blows the grass down. My granddaughter-in-law has always longed for the scene of seeing cows and sheep."

"When you say that, the Ai family also wants to go back and have a look."

Marrying into the royal family, being imprisoned in the palace for the rest of your life, and returning to your natal family is a luxury.

"You can talk to Huang Ama and bring my family and granddaughter-in-law with you." Wu Lingzhu spared no effort in persuading and begging.

The Queen Mother thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's give it a try at Aijia."

"Huang Ma, you are so kind."

The Ciren Palace was harmonious. Wu Lingzhu accompanied the Queen Mother until noon, when she got up and left. As soon as she left the Ciren Palace, she was stopped by Liang Jiugong.

"Sifujin, the emperor has invited you, and Si elder brother is also waiting with the emperor."

Wu Lingzhu winked at Wan Qi. Wan Qi stepped forward with a smile and took out a purse, "Here, this is what the master specially prepared for Eunuch Liang. Inside are my newly made snacks. You can eat them when you have nothing to do. eat."

"Hey, I thank you Si Fujin." Liang Jiugong accepted it with a smile and led Wu Lingzhu forward, "The emperor likes the cakes sent by Si Age very much, and I heard that you made various kinds of noodles for Si Age to make birthday noodles. No, the emperor is very curious."

"I understand. Thank you very much, Eunuch Liang."

Entering the Qianqing Palace, Wu Lingzhu first greeted Kangxi. Kangxi raised his hand and shouted, Wu Lingzhu stood up and stood next to Yinzhen.

"I called you here to ask you, after the vegetable juice is stirred into noodles, will it not discolor during cooking?"

Seeing Yinzhen nodding, Wu Lingzhu said: "Of course they will lose color. After the noodles are dried, they need to be boiled separately, and then picked up and repackaged separately. Only then can the soup base be clear and taste delicious and nourishing." Who said now? Our skills are limited and we don’t have professional noodle-making machines.

"I see, you are a thoughtful person, fourth child is lucky."

Emperor Kangxi rewarded them with many treasures to play with and sent them away. Emperor Kangxi turned to look at the prince and said, "When the imperial kitchen is ready, I will send you some. You can use them for midnight snacks and breakfast."

"My shameless minister, I'm just waiting for Emperor Ama's reward."

"You! You should go back as well. You are too tired from going to bed. Please pay attention to rest. Fujin is pregnant on your side. I hope this baby will be an elder brother. You are eighteen and you don't have an elder brother." Emperor Kangxi warned Yin Yin. Fan, let the most beloved legitimate son go; only Liang Jiugong and Emperor Kangxi were left in the hall, "Liang Jiugong, what did Sifu Jin reward you just now?"

Liang Jiugong's expression tightened, and then he relaxed. He took out a small purse from his sleeve and showed it to Emperor Kangxi, "Yes, Sifujin prepared some snacks for the slave. It looks like melon seeds and other snacks."

"Take it out and take a look."

"Yes, long live my lord." Liang Jiugong opened his purse and showed it to Emperor Kangxi.

Emperor Kangxi took a look at it and took a handful out to taste it; the fragrance lingered in his mouth, and it must be as fragrant as those in the palace. After eating it, he felt warm all over his body, which was definitely not an illusion.

"Just keep what Sifujin gives you."

Liang Jiugong secretly let out a sigh of relief and put his purse back into his sleeves; after crossing Ming Road, he could continue to receive the things given by Si Fujin next time.

Who among the people walking in front of the imperial court had not received benefits? Kangxi knew it in his heart, but he just didn’t want to say more. After all, these people were following him, and receiving benefits should be used to prepare for their future retirement. You can’t treat the people around you badly. As long as these People have sense in their hearts and don't do things that are traitorous to their master, so they can just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye.

Not to mention, Sifujin only gave him snacks and no money or notes. Kangxi couldn't even say anything if he wanted to, so he couldn't find fault with him!
