22、【22】(1/2)
About an hour later, the Sixth Princess also woke up. Specifically, she was awakened by a tempting fragrance.
She followed the fragrance and found the kitchen. The palace ladies she met along the way also expressed her expression, smelling the sweet fragrance with pleasure.
"Sister-in-law, what cakes are you making? How can it smell so good!" The Sixth Princess asked, stumbled into her little head.
"You little greedy cat really knows how to pick the egg yolk crisps. You came as soon as the egg yolk crisps were released." Tao Ti took the oil paper and wrapped it with her, "Try it, be careful to burn it."
As soon as the egg yolk crisp was taken to the hand, the fragrant sweet fragrance was even more intense.
The palace people on the side couldn't help swallowing, staring at the small golden snacks in the Sixth Princess's hand, as if they could taste the taste even after taking a bite.
The Sixth Princess couldn't wait to taste it, her black eyes lit up, and her skin was crispy and sweet. After her teeth bite, she first had a layer of soft and glutinous and silky Xue Mei Niang skin, then a sweet and rich bean paste, and the salty egg yolks. The sweet and salty taste blended together just right... It was so delicious!
The sixth princess didn't have time to comment, so she stuffed her mouth one by one, and her mouth was bulging. She nodded to Taoti with surprise, "Good times!"
Seeing her supportive look, Taoti laughed out loud, "Eat slowly, I've made a lot. If you don't have enough, I'll put another plate for you."
"Thank you sister-in-law!" The Sixth Princess admired her extremely.
Seeing that it was getting late, Tao Tizhen put a plate of egg yolk pastry and four small jars of candied fruit for her before leaving.
The Sixth Princess was still a little reluctant to let it go, so she pulled Taoti's sleeve and said intimately, "Sister-in-law, can I come to play with you next time?"
Seeing the dependence inadvertently revealed in those big eyes, Tao Ti's heart moved slightly and touched the Sixth Princess's little head, "Of course, welcome at any time."
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Princess was very happy.
Looking at the cheerful back of the Sixth Princess leaving, Tao Ti couldn't help but smile on her face. This is probably the healing power of food.
She slowly withdrew her gaze, turned around and filled another plate of egg yolk pastry, and asked the eunuch to send it to Pei Yan, so she would like to make an afternoon refreshment.
Seeing that the palace people in Yaoguang Palace were all jealous, she was not stingy, and kept some of the portions she had to eat, so she let them share the rest.
"This freshly made egg yolk crisp is just to eat fresh. Recently, there has been a lot of rain and the air is humid. It can't be stored for long. Instead of wasting it, it's better for you to share it."
This reason made the palace people in Yaoguang Palace let go of their fear and share the cake with peace of mind.
"God, this taste is amazing! The Crown Princess is the reincarnation of the Kitchen God, otherwise how could she make such delicious crispy cakes!"
"The Crown Princess is really clever and has a salty duck egg just like that. She can make so many delicious foods. If she opens a restaurant outside, she will ensure a prosperous business and a prosperous fortune."
"Look at the stupid words you said, what is the identity of the Crown Princess? How can you care about that amount of money!"
"Oh, such a delicious snack, but unfortunately I only got half of it. I understand why Princess Six cried. When I thought of such a good pancake, I could only eat such a bite, I was about to cry."
"I heard before that the Crown Princess was going to be a servant, but I was reluctant. Now whoever wants to transfer me away, I won't accept it! The Crown Princess is really a god-master. As long as I can get such a bite of food from time to time, I am willing to serve her as a cow and a horse for the rest of my life!"
"Me too!!"
In the afternoon, Yaoguang Palace is immersed in the rich fragrance of desserts, and the atmosphere is extremely peaceful.
On the other side, inside Zixiao Palace.
Grand Tutor Song pinched a piece of egg yolk crisp and chewed it slowly, and narrowed his old eyes with joy, "Okay, the crispy crust is fragrant and crispy, the filling is really rich, and it is really a taste. You are so happy with such a good craft, Your Highness."
This praise was sincere when Taifu Song said. After he finished eating the cake in his hand, he was still a little unsatisfied. If it weren't for his identity, he would have wanted to get the pieces of slags that fell from the plate and eat them.
"If the teacher likes it, try it more."
"Okay, no, this is what the Crown Princess has liked you. I am very content with the honor of having a piece of it today." That's what he said, but Grand Tutor Song's eyes were honestly glanced at the plate of crispy cakes.
"It's not enough to use that alone." Pei Yan raised his eyes and looked at Fu Xirui.
Fu Xirui immediately understood and immediately divided three egg yolk sauces to Taifu Song.
Grand Tutor Song was no longer polite and sighed, "The Crown Princess is so considerate to Your Highness... If you had known that she would feel sorry for someone so much, you should get married early. If you have someone who knows the cold and the hot, you will be healthy as soon as possible."
Pei Yanxin said that it was not too late now. He only smiled slightly, picked up a piece of egg yolk crisp and ate it, and unconsciously showed a hint of undetectable pleasure in his black eyes.
After using the refreshments, the two discussed the spring tax.
Seeing Fu Xirui coming out with an empty cup and plate, Zhan Ping was surprised at the door, "This... has been eaten up?"
Fu Xirui smiled all over his face, "Yes, Your Highness used three pieces, and Grand Tutor Song used five pieces. The Crown Princess's craftsmanship is really unspeakable!"
"Your Highness actually used three cakes? You don't persuade Your Highness, you have eaten a lot now, so how can you still use dinner?"
"What are three pieces of crispy cakes? Lord Zhan, you didn't see that last night, Your Highness used such a large bowl of fried rice, a large bowl of soup, and several fried chicken wings. Look, our Crown Princess is really the lucky star of Your Highness. I believe that it won't take long to grow stronger and your body will be better. Is it a blessing to be able to eat!"
Seeing Fu Xirui calling "Our Crown Princess" intimately, Zhan Ping frowned, "Did Eunuch Fu forget how embarrassed she had for His Highness before? Now you have only a few pastries, and you have turned against each other..."
Fu Xirui was stunned and said, "Mr. Zhan, you are too prejudiced to the Crown Princess. In fact, the Crown Princess is quite good."
He explained a few words, but Zhan Ping always looked stubborn and didn't want to get into the air. Fu Xirui no longer wasted his saliva and just thought to himself: The road is far away and the horsepower is seen over time, let's take a look, maybe you will turn against each other in the future.

The rain stopped, and the nurse took the sixth princess back to Tingyuxuan.
The Sixth Princess was holding a small piece of egg yolk and was so fragrant. As soon as she walked around a palace gate, she saw the fifth prince walking towards her.
The fifth prince is the second-to-last child in the palace. He is nine years old this year, and his biological mother is Concubine Xu. When he was born, it was a severe drought in the northwest, and Emperor Zhaokang lost a lot of hair. Unfortunately, as soon as the fifth prince was born, it rained heavily in the northwest, which relieved the drought. Therefore, Emperor Zhaokang loved his youngest son very much and thought he was a little lucky star.
The father loved him, and the mother was a concubine. The fifth prince could be said to have grown up in a honey pot, so he developed a lawless personality.
Now seeing this little devil in the world, the Sixth Princess subconsciously put her hand behind her and greeted her timidly, "Fifth Emperor Brother, Wan Hao."
The fifth prince glanced and said, "It's Xiaoliu, where are you from?"
The sixth princess' slender eyelashes drooped slightly, "I, I... just went to the East Palace to play for a while."
"East Palace? Where did you go? Brother Prince doesn't bother you?"
"It was the princess and sister-in-law who asked me to play..."
"Crown Princess and Sister-in-law?" The fifth prince was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that there was such a person. He was about to ask again, but he saw the Sixth Princess' unnaturally carrying his hands behind her back, and frowned, "What are you hiding?"
"No, nothing." The Sixth Princess was a little panicked.
"Look at your courage," the fifth prince raised his chin and thrust at the little eunuch beside him, "Go and see what she hides."
The little eunuch immediately went over, and the nanny subconsciously protected the Sixth Princess, but she didn't dare to stop her. After all, the fifth prince was the treasure of the imperial concubine. If the little devil was unhappy, they would not be able to get good results.
When the Sixth Princess was hiding a small piece of cake, the Fifth Prince couldn't help rolling her eyes, "What's the hidden cake? Could it be that I'll grab it with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but timidly, "Why is it so fragrant?"
The little eunuch also looked around and finally locked in the cake on Princess Six's hand, "Master, it seems... the cake on Princess Six's hand?"
The Sixth Princess has a small mouth, and half of the egg yolk crispy puffs are left after two bites, just revealing the rich filling inside.
When the fifth prince stared at the egg yolk crisp in his hand, the sixth princess whispered, "Fifth Prince, I've eaten this one."
The little eunuch beside the fifth prince was a clever one. He immediately came to the fifth prince's ear and muttered a few words.
"Take me your food box." The fifth prince looked arrogant, but at a young age, he was a bit bandit-like.
Seeing that the nanny was slow, the fifth prince simply asked the eunuch to come forward to get it.
The Sixth Princess wanted to stop her, "This was given to me by the Crown Princess and Sister-in-law!"
The fifth prince really didn't plan to compete with his sister for food at first. After all, it was so embarrassing to spread, but - this cake is too delicious, right?!
As soon as I opened the food box, the rich and sweet fragrance came to my nose, instantly sparking his greed.
He swallowed his saliva and reached for it to get it, explaining, "Xiao Liu, brother, just take a piece to taste it, don't be stingy."
Although the Sixth Princess was a little reluctant, she was not angry with the fifth prince for a piece of cake.
The egg yolk crispy is still warm, the skin is thin and the filling is thick. After one bite, the crust is very crispy. The soft and brushed Xue Mei Niang skin with the appropriate sweetness of red bean paste filling, it has injected the soul into this small crispy cake.
"This pancake is really good!" The fifth prince was not as gentle as the princess, so he solved one of them in just two bites.
Seeing that he was about to reach out, the Sixth Princess was anxious, "Fifth Brother! You said you only taste one piece."
The fifth prince touched his nose and coaxed with a shy face, "Xiao Liu, why don't you give me this dish of cake? I'll let the imperial kitchen make you other pastries?"
"don't want!"
"Oh, don't be stingy? I will never bully you again. I will send you pastries every day?"
"No..." The Sixth Princess wanted to refuse, and the nurse tugged her sleeve gently and gave a wink.
The Sixth Princess pursed her lips, feeling a little aggrieved between her eyebrows and eyes.
The fifth prince coughed lightly, "Don't worry, I won't take yours in vain. I'll have someone give you a goodbye pastry later."
As he said that, he took the little eunuch, carried the food box and left with a small song.
The Sixth Princess lowered her little head and stared at the half piece of egg yolk in her hand, and crystal clear tears rolled in her eyes.
The nurse squatted down and comforted her, "Good princess, no matter how delicious the pancake is, we don't have to compete with the fifth prince. He is spoiled by the imperial concubine, you...ah, you are different from him..."
The Sixth Princess held back her tears and bit her lip, "I know."
The prince said that it is useless to survive in the palace by tears. You have to accumulate strength bit by bit to make yourself stronger, so that you can get everything you want, and that those who have bullied you will be rewarded.
She is still weak now, but she still has time to become stronger.
****
Although the fifth prince was domineering and naughty, he was still very honest. As soon as he returned to Mingyue Palace, he sent eunuchs to send seven kinds of pastries, a few books, picture booklets, and a bunch of entertainment gadgets to Tingyuxuan.
Seeing this, Concubine Xu said strangely, "When did you have such a good relationship with Xiaoliu?"
