Chapter 22：

About an hour later, the six princesses also woke up. Specifically, she was awakened by a tempting fragrance.

She followed the scent to the small kitchen, and all the palace people she met along the way gave her an expression, smelling the sweet scent with enjoyment.

"Sister-in-law, what cakes are you doing? How can it be like this!" Six princesses asked, poking her head.

"You little greedy cat really picks the time. Just when this egg yolk cake came out of the oven, you came." Tao Ti took the oil paper and wrapped it for her, "You taste it, and be careful."

As soon as the egg yolk crisp was in hand, the rich sweet scent became even stronger.

The palace people on the side couldn't help swallowing their saliva, staring straight at the small golden snack in the hands of Princess Six, as if she took a bite and they could also taste the taste.

The six princesses couldn’t wait to take a bite, her black eyes lit up, and the skin was soft and sweet. After the teeth were bitten down, there was a layer of soft and silky Xuemei Niang skin, then the sweet and rich bean paste, and the salty egg yolk. The sweet and salty flavors are just right together... it's so delicious!

The six princesses didn't have time to comment, and they only stuffed their mouths one after another, and the mouths were bulging, and they nodded towards Tao Ti with surprise, "Good time!"

Seeing her cheering, Tao Ti laughed out loud, "Eat slowly and make a lot of it. If you don't eat enough, I'll put another dish back for you."

"Thank you sister-in-law!" Six princesses admired very much.

Seeing that it was getting late, Tao Tizhen filled her with a dish of egg yolk crisps and four small pots of candied fruit before leaving.

Six princesses were still reluctant, pulling Tao Ti's sleeves, and said affectionately, "Sister-in-law, can I come to play with you next time?"

Seeing the inadvertent reliance in those big eyes, Tao Ti moved slightly in his heart and touched Princess Six's head, "Of course you can. Welcome anytime."

Hearing that, the six princesses were extremely happy.

Seeing the happy back of the six princesses leaving, Tao Ti couldn't help showing a small smile on her face. This is probably the healing power of food.

She leisurely retracted her gaze, turned around and installed a plate of egg yolk pastry, and asked the little **** to send it to Pei Yan for afternoon tea.

Seeing that the people in the Yaoguang Palace were greedy, she was not stingy, leaving a portion of her own food, and letting them share the rest.

"This kind of freshly made egg yolk pastry is just to eat fresh. Recently, there has been a lot of rain and the air is humid. It will not last long. Instead of wasting it, you might as well eat it separately."

For this reason, the palace people of Yaoguang Hall let go of their panic, and shared the cakes with peace of mind—

"God, this taste is absolutely amazing! The crown prince is the reincarnation of the stove prince, otherwise how can you make such a delicious shortbread!"

"The princess is really ingenious. She can make so many delicious foods just like salted duck eggs. If you open a restaurant outside, you will be sure that your business will be prosperous and your wealth will grow."

"Look at this silly thing you said, what is the status of the princess, and where does he care about the money!"

"Oh, it's a pity that there are only half of such a delicious snack. I understand why Princess Six is ​​crying. When I think that such a good shortbread can only be eaten in such a bite, I must cry."

"Before I heard that I was going to work under the prince, but I was still reluctant. Now who wants to transfer me away, I don’t want to! The prince is really a fairy master, as long as I can get such a bite to eat from time to time, I am willing to be a cow. The horse will wait on her for a lifetime!"

"Me too!"

In the afternoon, the Yaoguang Hall was immersed in the rich fragrance of desserts, and the atmosphere was extremely peaceful.

On the other side, in the Zixiao Hall.

Taifu Song pinched a piece of egg yolk pastry and slowly chewed, and squinted his old eyes with joy, "Okay, the meringue is crispy, the fillings are real, the taste is rich, it is really endless. Such a good craftsmanship, your Royal Highness Good fortune."

This compliment, Song Taifu said sincerely. After the cake in his hand was finished, he was still a little bit unfulfilled. If it weren't for his identity, he wanted to pick up the debris that had fallen from the plate and eat it.

"If the teacher likes it, try some more."

"Don't don't don't, this is what the prince concubine has for you. The minister is fortunate enough to taste a piece today, and he is very content." That said, Song Taifu's eyes looked honestly at the plate of shortbread.

"It doesn't take so much to be alone." Pei Yan raised his eyes lightly to look at Fu Xirui.

Fu Xirui immediately understood, and immediately divided three egg yolk cakes to Song Taifu.

Taifu Song was no longer polite, and sighed, "The princess is so caring about her... If you knew that she would love people like this, you should get married early, and someone who knows the cold and the hot will take care of you, your highness. The body can also be healthy sooner."

Pei Yanxin said, it's not too late now. He only smiled on his face, squeezed a piece of egg yolk pastry and ate it, unconsciously revealing a hint of imperceptible pleasure in his black eyes.

After refreshing, the two discussed the spring tax.

Seeing Fu Xirui coming out with empty cups and saucers, she stood at the door and flattened her face in astonishment, "This... is all finished?!"

Fu Xirui smiled, "Yes, your Royal Highness used three yuan, and Song Taifu used five yuan. The craftsmanship of the princess is really nothing to say!"

"His Royal Highness actually used three pieces of shortbread? Father Fu, why don't you persuade your Royal Highness to eat a lot now, so I can't use it for dinner."

"What are three shortbread cookies? Master Zhan, you didn't see that last night, His Royal Highness used such a big bowl of fried rice, a big bowl of soup, and several fried chicken wings. Look at the old slave, our prince is really your Royal Highness. Fuxing, I believe it won’t take long for Your Highness to grow stronger and have better bones. It’s a blessing to be able to eat!"

Seeing Fu Xirui's affectionate call of "our princess," she flattened her brows and frowned, "Father-in-law Fu forgot how embarrassing her was before? Now with just a few cakes, you have turned your head..."

Fu Xirui was stunned, and said, "Master Zhan, you have too much prejudice against the princess, but in fact, the princess is quite nice."

He explained a few words, but Zhanping always looked stubborn and stubborn, and Fu Xirui no longer wasted her saliva, only thinking to herself: Lu Yao knows that horsepower will see people's hearts for a long time, let's look at it, maybe you Later, he turned his back.

—

The rain stopped, and the nurse took the six princesses back to Yuxuan.

The six princesses were holding a small piece of egg yolk crisp and eating Zhengxiang. They just walked around a palace gate, but saw the fifth prince walking towards him.

The fifth prince is the penultimate child in the palace, nine years old this year, and his biological mother is Concubine Xu Gui. When he was born, it was a drought in the northwest, and Emperor Zhaokang lost a lot of his hair. Coincidentally, as soon as the fifth prince was born, there was a heavy rain in the northwest, which resolved the drought. So Emperor Zhaokang loved this little son very much, thinking that he was a little lucky star.

The father is loved, and the mother concubine is also a noble concubine. The fifth princes can be said to have grown up in a honey pot, so they have also developed a lawless character.

Now seeing this little devil in the mixed world, the six princesses subconsciously put their hands behind them, and greeted them timidly, "Five emperor brothers are blessed."

The fifth prince squinted, "It's Xiao Liu, where do you come from?"

The six princesses' slender eyelashes drooped slightly, "I, I...just went to the East Palace to play for a while."

"East Palace? Where did you go? The prince brother doesn't bother you?"

"The prince's concubine and sister-in-law asked me to play..."

"Prince concubine and sister-in-law?" The fifth prince was stunned, only to remember that there was such a person. He just wanted to ask again, but saw the six princesses unnaturally carrying their hands behind him, and his brows wrinkled, "What are you hiding?"

"No, nothing." Six princesses were a little panicked.

"Look at you, courageous mouse." The fifth prince raised his chin, and snarled at the little **** beside him, "Go and see what she is hiding."

The little **** immediately went over, and the grandmother subconsciously protected the six princesses, but she did not dare to stop too much. After all, the five princes are the baby bumps of the imperial concubine.

When seeing the six princesses concealing it was a small piece of shortbread, the fifth prince couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What is hidden in a piece of cake, is it possible that I will grab it with you?"

As soon as the voice fell, he couldn't help but counseled his nose, "What's so fragrant?"

The little **** also looked around, and finally focused on the cake in the hands of Princess Six, "Master, it seems to be... the cake in Princess Six?"

The six princesses had small mouths, and half of the egg yolk crisp was left after two bites, just revealing the rich fillings inside.

Seeing the fifth prince staring at the egg yolk cake in his hand, the sixth princess whispered, "Brother Wuhuang, I have eaten this one."

The little **** next to the fifth prince was very clever, and he immediately murmured a few words in the ear of the fifth prince.

"Show me your food box." The fifth prince looked arrogant, but at a young age, he was a bit gangster.

Seeing the grandmother dragging along, the five princes simply asked the **** to go forward and get it.

The sixth princess wanted to stop, "This is from the princess concubine and sister-in-law!"

The fifth prince really didn't plan to grab food from his sister at the beginning. After all, it was so embarrassing to spread, but—this cake is too fragrant, right? !

As soon as he opened the food box, the rich and sweet scent came out, and instantly caught his gluttons.

He swallowed, and while reaching for it, he explained, "Little Liu, brother, take a piece and taste it. Don't be stingy."

Although the six princesses were a little reluctant, it was not easy to be angry with the five princes for a piece of cake.

The egg yolk pastry is still warm, the skin is thin and the filling is thick. After a bite, the skin is very crispy. The soft brushed Xuemei Niang skin with the sweetness of the red bean paste filling, almost injects the soul into this little pastry.

"This shortbread is really good!" The five princes didn't have the princess Wen to eat, so they solved one after two.

Seeing that he still had to stretch out his hand, the sixth princess was anxious, "Brother Wuhuang! You said that you only taste one piece."

The fifth prince touched his nose and coaxed shyly, "Xiao Liu, should you give me this plate of cakes, and I will let the Yushan Fang make some other cakes for you?"

"do not want!"

"Oh, don't be stingy, I won't bully you anymore and give you pastries every day?"

"No..." The sixth princess still refused, and the nurse gently pulled her sleeve, winking.

The six princesses pursed their lips, a little aggrieved between their eyebrows.

The fifth prince gave a light cough, "Don't worry, I won't take yours for nothing, I'll have someone give you a goodbye cake later."

With that said, he took the little **** and hummed a little song with the food box and left.

Six princesses hung their heads, staring at the half of the egg yolk in their hands, crystal clear tears swirling in their eye sockets.

The grandmother squatted down to comfort her, "Good princess, even if this shortbread is delicious, we can't compete with the five princes. He is petted by a concubine, you...oh, you are different from him..."

The sixth princess suffocated her tears hard, bit her lip, "I know."

The prince brother 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 you can let the people who have insulted you. All got retribution.

She is still weak, but she still has time to become stronger.

—

Although the five princes are domineering and stubborn, they are still very honest. As soon as he returned to Mingyue Palace, he sent the **** to give away seven kinds of cakes, a few books and pictures, and a bunch of recreational gadgets to listen to Yuxuan.

Concubine Xu Gui said strangely when she saw this, "When did your relationship with Xiaoliu get so good?"

The fifth prince was embarrassed to say that he had robbed his sister's shortbread, and only vaguely said, "Anyway, I eat pastries every day. I'm tired of playing with these toys, so I give her all."

In order to prevent Concubine Xu from asking questions, he quickly took out an egg yolk pastry and handed it to the concubine, "Mother concubine, try this. This is delicious."

Concubine Xu Gui did not like sweets, but seeing her son's filial piety, she still took it.

I saw that shortbread cookie was a small one, the round and bulging surface was beautiful golden yellow, with a layer of black sesame seeds sprinkled on it, it was delicate and lovely.

Concubine Xu Gui thought, it is not easy to discourage her son's heart, so she reluctantly takes a sip.

She brought the egg yolk pastry to her mouth, and the strong fragrance immediately penetrated into her nose. When she took a bite, her eyes instantly brightened.

Then, a piece of egg yolk cake was eaten by her in three bites.

"Mother concubine, is it delicious?" The corners of the fifth prince's eyebrows were a little smug.

It's rare to encounter such a delicious pastry, Xu Guifei wiped the corner of her mouth with the veil, and looked at the fifth prince with her beautiful eyes, "Chen'er, is this shortbread new from the Imperial Kitchen? The taste is really good, just a little bit It's cold, but it doesn't matter...you give your mother and concubine a taste?"

While talking, the slender hand was about to reach the food box.

The fifth prince suddenly felt the mood of the six princesses being robbed, and he stood in front of the food box with a nervous expression, "Mother concubine, there are only three pieces left! Don’t you like sweets? It’s not good to eat too much sweets. Easy to get fat."

Concubine Xu Gui's mouth twitched, "..." This **** is really in vain!

As soon as she wanted to educate her son, she heard a slender announcement from outside the door—

"Your Majesty is here!"
