Yu Jiujiu and the others spent a relatively happy day at the Yin family, but Cheng Qiqi had a rather frustrating day.
The moment she was finally about to go back, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After she returned to her room in the palace uncomfortably, all the emotions she had accumulated for a day finally burst out. However, this was in the Queen Mother's palace, and she did not dare to vent her emotions in a big way by smashing things. If you feel so emotional, you can only hug the pillow, treat it as someone you hate, and beat it hard.
After venting her frustration, she thought that she had wasted a whole day today, and tomorrow night was the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, so she had to hurry up and make mooncakes.
So, early the next morning, Cheng Qiqi took Fu'er and quietly made mooncakes in the small kitchen of Cining Palace.
Of course she would not just make mooncakes for Emperor Xuanping.
After asking Aunt Yunxiang to learn about the Queen Mother's preferences, she prepared two mooncakes.
After working so hard for most of the day preparing the ingredients, she took some time to prepare two mooncakes before the dinner started.
Afterwards, after getting dressed up, he first sent the mooncakes for the Queen Mother to the main hall.
When Cheng Qiqi went there, he happened to meet the guard beside the Queen Mother and was saying something to her.
She remembered that the guard seemed to be named Chen Hen.
It seemed like I hadn't seen him for a while.
At this moment, when Chen Hen saw her coming, he nodded slightly towards her, his expression was cold, and his eyes seemed to be shining with a sharp light in a casual glance.
Cheng Qiqi has never seen any other expression on Chen Hen's face since the first time he saw him in Lingyin Temple.
But this also shows that he is like this. It is not because he doesn't like her that he is indifferent to her, but he is like this to everyone.
"Qiqi is here? This newly made dress looks really good." Queen Mother Yin said with a smile when she saw her coming.
"Thank you, Grandma Huang, for your compliments, and I also need to thank Grandma Huang for ordering someone to make such a dress for Qi Qi. Otherwise, Qi Qi wouldn't know what to wear on the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight." Cheng Qiqi said with a grateful face.
"As long as you like it." Queen Mother Yin smiled kindly.
"Royal Grandma, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Qiqi didn't have anything to give to the Imperial Grandma as an expensive gift. I thought that the most important thing was my heart, so I made mooncakes with my own hands. They were stuffed with lotus paste, the Imperial Grandma's favorite food. Please taste it, Grandma Huang." Cheng Qiqi said with a sweet smile on his face, took out a mooncake from the tray in Fu'er's hand and presented it to Queen Mother Yin.
The mooncakes have now cooled down a bit and are just right to eat.
Aunt Bingyan took the mooncake, broke off a small piece, checked it quietly, made sure it was fine, and then gave it to Queen Mother Yin.
Queen Mother Yin always had a kind smile on her face.
At this time, she took the moon cake and tasted it, and quickly said with appreciation: "It tastes very good, especially since it was Qiqi's intention. The Ai family likes it very much."
"As long as Grandma Huang likes it!" Cheng Qiqi was flattered.
"Hey, there seems to be other mooncakes in your tray?" Queen Mother Yin looked over curiously and asked.
"That's it, Grandma Huang, that's the mooncake Qiqi made for the Emperor." Cheng Qiqi said with some embarrassment.
"For the Emperor? Is it also stuffed with lotus paste? The Emperor doesn't like the taste." Queen Mother Yin reminded.
"No, no, Qiqi asked His Highness the Third Prince before and found out what kind of mooncakes the Emperor liked, so he made another one." Cheng Qiqi explained.
"Well, that's good." Seeing that she had inquired, Queen Mother Yin nodded with relief, then stood up with a smile and said, "It's getting late, Qiqi, let's go to the palace banquet with the Ai family! I'm sure.
Everyone is here now!"
"Yes, Imperial Grandmother." Cheng Qiqi quickly stepped forward and held one of Queen Mother Yin's arms.
Seeing that she was sensible and considerate, Queen Mother Yin smiled lovingly at her.
When they arrived at the palace banquet, everyone was already there.
Emperor Xuanping was the leader, and everyone stood up to salute the Queen Mother Yin.
Cheng Qiqi followed the Queen Mother Yin, and it felt as if she had been respected and saluted by so many people. She felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. One day, she would become someone like the Queen Mother Yin!
"Royal Grandma, you are finally here! Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, what gift do you want to give to Yu Jiujiu?" After everyone finished the ceremony, Yu Jiujiu was the first to run over, hugging Queen Mother Yin and saying sweetly.
"You little girl, it's the festival today, and you didn't give me a gift, but you asked me for a gift!" Queen Mother Yin looked at Yu Jiujiu's coquettish look, and she felt very fond of it. She said this without any intention of blaming her.
, instead pinched her little face fondly and said, "Look at your sister Qiqi, she knows how to make mooncakes as gifts for the Ai family!"
"Oh, sister Qiqi is so clever and handy, but Chiujiu is so clumsy, how can she make mooncakes!"
Yu Jiu Jiu said with no shame on her face, raised her little face and smiled at Queen Mother Yin.
The two little pear dimples on her lips made Queen Mother Yin so cute that she couldn't help but pinch her little face.
Queen Mother Yin hugged Yu Jiujiu for a while, and then she seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Emperor Xuanping: "Emperor, Qiqi is very filial. She not only made mooncakes for the Ai family, but also made one for the emperor.
"
"Oh? Really? Then I am somewhat looking forward to it." Emperor Xuanping said with a peaceful smile on his face.
"Qiqi, why don't you hurry up and send it to the emperor?" Empress Dowager Yin signaled Cheng Qiqi to present the mooncakes.
"Qiqi heard that the emperor likes this flavor of mooncake, so he spent a whole day making it. I hope the emperor can taste it." Cheng Qiqi quickly took the mooncake from Fu'er and gave it to Emperor Xuanping himself.
At this moment, she was filled with expectation and joy.
As expected, Yu Jiujiu didn’t make any mooncakes at all!
After Emperor Xuanping ate the mooncakes she made, he would definitely be grateful for her willingness to do it himself, and would value her more and more in the future. As long as she continued to use Yu Jiujiu to do things to please Emperor Xuanping, gradually, Xuanping would
Emperor Ping will definitely treat her as his daughter as Queen Mother Yin treats her.
Cheng Qiqi was making a lot of calculations in her mind, but she didn't know that when she wanted to use Yu Jiujiu to get to the top, Yu Jiujiu had actually dug a big hole in front of her and was waiting for her here.
!
Zhou Dafu took it and sent it to Emperor Xuanping.
Emperor Xuanping raised his hand and broke off a piece. Just as he brought it to his mouth to taste, he suddenly smelled an extremely pungent smell of garlic, which made him sneeze and vomit!
Realizing something, his face suddenly turned a little ugly.
After breaking the mooncake into pieces, he found that it was full of garlic. Emperor Xuanping's hands began to turn red.
Zhou Dafu was closest to Emperor Xuanping. At this time, he felt something was wrong. He came over to take a look. He immediately knelt down and hugged Emperor Xuanping's hand, and began to shout loudly: "Here comes Dr. Xuan!"
