Chapter 138 eat cake
"Your Majesty! Dad!" Seeing Zhao Yan coming in, Zhang Guiyi and Princess Bao'an, Princess Shoukang stood up in surprise, and at the same time, she was also a little nervous. I wonder how long Zhao Shu had been here, and if she had heard their previous conversation?
Zhao Shu walked in with a smile, then looked at the cake on the table, twitched his nose, and then, without any politeness, he took the cake that Zhang Guiyi had just eaten a few bites and tasted it. As a result, he kept applauding while eating. The taste of this cake was very good for his appetite.??
Seeing that Zhao Shu liked cakes, Zhang Guiyi was relieved. He cut a piece for Zhao Shu himself, and Zhao Shu was not polite. After eating the first piece for a few bites, he also ate the second piece. Then he patted his stomach and said with satisfaction: "I have been busy for most of the day today and don't even have lunch. Now I'm finally full, and it tastes very good."
"Haha, since Your Majesty likes to eat, then eat more!" Zhang Guiyi said as she wanted to cut another piece for Zhao Shu. However, Zhao Shu shook his head with a pity and said, "No need, my body has not been fully recovered. The imperial doctor told me to be restrained in terms of diet, and I still have some things to deal with now. I just thought about your birthday, my beloved concubine, so I took the time to see you!"
When he heard that Zhao Shu was actually taking his busy schedule to remember his birthday, Zhang Guiyi also showed an excited look, but before she could say anything, Zhao Shu continued to smile and said, "This pastry is called a birthday cake, and the name is good. In the future, let the third brother make me a bigger one for my birthday!"
After Zhao Shu finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhang Guiyi, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang in the hall looked at each other. After a while, he saw Princess Bao'an being the first to murmur: "It seems that Dad has come a long time ago, otherwise he would not have known the name of the birthday cake."
"Haha, although Dad heard our previous words, he had no intention of blame. He just kept saying that the cake was delicious. It seemed that Dad didn't care about this matter, and even had a little indulgence. This was good news for us." At this time, Princess Shoukang analyzed with a smile. She was always the most courageous. Among the three, she was the only one who could keep a calm mind.
Zhang Guiyi woke up like a dream at this time. After hearing Princess Shoukang's words, she was so excited that she couldn't suppress herself. After a while, she calmed down. Zhao Yan already knew that she was his biological mother. But His Majesty did not blame him after hearing this. So does this mean that the day when the mother and son might have a public recognition in the future?
Not only did Zhang Guiyi think of this, but Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang also thought of it. The three of them were also very excited at the moment. After all, the pain that they could not recognize was even more uncomfortable than separation from life and death.
Princess Bao'an and the other two were eating birthday cakes in the palace. Zhao Yan from the other courtyard outside the city was also eating cakes. Although this cake was mainly used to celebrate birthdays, there was no rule that it could not be eaten on the birthday. Especially Xiao Douya has been trying out the cake test items made by Zhao Yan these days. After eating so much, she was not tired of it. Instead, she strongly recommended it to Cao Ying. Cao Ying was also very curious about the cake that Zhao Yan spent several days making, so she begged him to make another one. As a result, Cao Ying, who tasted the cake, couldn't stop, and the food on her hands and face was full of cream.
"Husband, since this cream is made of goat milk, then all the goat milk we drink in the morning will be made into butter. The taste of this cream is much better than goat milk!" Cao Ying suggested admiringly while eating. Her opinion was also approved by Xiao Douya, but the little girl was stuffed with cakes and could only keep nodding.
"That's not possible. Although the cream is delicious, it is only part of the extracted from goat milk. It is not as nutritious as goat milk, so goat milk cannot be changed!" Zhao Yan refused without thinking. In fact, there was another reason why he disagreed with Cao Song's proposal, that is, he actually doesn't like the butter on the cake very much.
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Cao Ying did not insist, and then he still buried his head in the process of eating. As a result, she ate nearly a quarter of a big cake by herself. Finally, she covered her stomach and said, "Okay, I won't eat it anymore, keep the rest for Mixue!"
"I think you can't eat it anymore!" Zhao Yan said with some amusement. He now found that Cao Ying was becoming more and more childish in front of him, but this is also a good phenomenon, which shows that Cao Ying is slowly removing her usual disguise in front of him. Of course, this does not mean that Cao Ying is usually hypocritical, but that everyone will wear a mask in front of outsiders and hide the side he doesn't want to show others. For example, Cao Ying is very mature in front of outsiders, making people often forget that she is actually just a sixteen-year-old girl in the flower season.
"By the way, where did Mixue go? Why didn't I see her for an afternoon?" Zhao Yan asked again. This morning, he was anxious to prepare a birthday cake for his mother Zhang Guiyi, but he didn't pay attention to Mixue. It was not until now that he suddenly realized that Mixue, who had been following Cao Ying, was missing. Judging from what Cao Ying said, it seemed that he was not at home at all.
"Mixue went to Shangshuizhuang to count the number of cabbages in each family, and then set a reasonable price for cabbage based on the number of wealthy families who can eat cabbage in Tokyo. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon and the weather is so cold. Although the south can transport a small amount of vegetables, it cannot meet the needs of Tokyo at all, so the cabbage in our tenants' hands will be valuable by then." Cao Ying said with a look of a housekeeper, and golden light was almost emerging from his big eyes.
However, Zhao Yan asked in confusion when he heard this: "Madam, the cabbage in the hands of those tenants is their own. We can use it and care about how they sell it?"
"I didn't have to worry about it, but whoever made my husband a great charity was the most shameful person who was in front of me to suffer. The tenants lived next to us, which was also good luck. I was idle and idle, so I helped them calculate the price and then organized it to sell it in batches, so that the cabbage could be sold at the best price!" Cao Ying said this and said, as if he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yan's kindness.
"I didn't expect that my wife would think so much about me. I really moved my husband. I just don't know when my wife plans to send out the cabbage from our family?" Zhao Yan said with a smile on his face at Cao Ying.
"There are also some specialties when delivering things, especially this is the first time that cabbage has appeared in Tokyo, so I have to let everyone know the value of cabbage before I can send the cabbage out, so that I can receive the greatest favor..." Cao Ying suddenly woke up when she said this, and glared at Zhao Yan angrily and said, "My husband knows how to mess with me, I won't say it!"
"Hehe, I can guess if my wife doesn't say it. Do you plan to let the tenants in Shangshuizhuang sell the first batch of cabbage? The name of cabbage is spread throughout Tokyo, and the price will definitely be very expensive. Then, you will bring the cabbage to each family, so that you can look more face-saving and the value of the gift of our county prince's mansion?" Zhao Yan said with a smile. After spending more than half a year of getting along, not only did Cao Ying know him very well, but he also knew Cao Ying very well. Sometimes, you can guess what the other party has plans without expressing it at all. This may be the tacit understanding between husband and wife.
"Hehe, my husband always says that women are too smart and annoying, but I want to ask, what would happen if men are too smart?" Seeing Zhao Yan guessing his plan, Cao Ying was not angry, but instead asked with a giggle on his face.
"Men are too smart? This..." Zhao Yan didn't know how to answer when she heard this, but at this moment he suddenly saw the little bean sprouts still holding a cake and pointed at her with a smile, "It is of course a good thing for men to be too smart. For example, a person as smart as me will make a lot of delicious food and raise his wife to be fat."
When he heard that Zhao Yan wanted to make herself fat, he immediately thought of Zhao Yingning's appearance, which made Cao Ying spit out: "If you want to be fat, let Xiao Douya get fat, I won't get fat!"
Her name was eating the cake in big mouthfuls. She looked up at Zhao Yan and Cao Ying in a confused manner, her face covered with white cream, but she soon realized that it seemed to have nothing to do with her. She lowered her head and ate it up, and at the same time praised in her heart: The cake made by the prince is getting better and better!
Just as Zhao Yan was joking with Cao Ying, Mixue, who had been out for nearly a day, finally came back. The little girl was following several housekeepers, holding books, pens and other things in her hands. It seemed that she really had the momentum of Cao Ying's usual housekeeper.
Mixue's face was red with cold. As soon as she came in, she immediately poured herself a cup of hot water and drank it. She was about to report the statistics to Cao Ying today, but Cao Ying pointed to the cake on the table at this time. As a result, Mixue immediately understood and ran over and snatched a piece from Xiao Douya and took a bite. Her eyes lit up and ate two pieces in a row. As a result, she choked because she was too anxious, which made Mixue slapped her chest.
Seeing Mixue's embarrassing look, Cao Ying smiled and poured Mixue a glass of water, asking her to drink it and press the cake, then asked: "How about it, how many cabbages are there in the tenants' homes, and when can they be sold in the city?"
