Zhou Ying nodded and did not say anything else.
The next day, because a large number of officials got beheaded, the streets were in a mess early in the morning. After the couple were woken up, they looked at each other and had no choice but to get up.
However, neither of them was in the mood to watch the show. After dinner, Gu Chengrui went to report to King Rui.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying took out some paste made from the honey-marinated roses and made a flower cake.
As soon as the flower cakes were out of the pot, Mingyu ran in with a smile. “It looks like I made it in time today. I can’t believe I ran into you cooking personally.”
“Have a taste of this flower cake.” Zhou Ying handed her a piece after she finished speaking.
Mingyu did not hesitate and directly ate it up.
A moment later, she gave her a thumbs up and praised, “Not bad. It’s sweet but not oily. It’s full of fragrance and very delicious.
“This is the first time I know cakes can be made from fresh flowers. It really has a different flavor from all the cakes I ate before.”

Mingyu’s eyes rolled around a few times after hearing that. “That’s true.
Actually, someone like brother-in-law is fine. I just don’t want someone from the academy.”
“Those men can’t carry weight on their shoulders or lift a box with their hands. It makes me angry just looking at it.”
Zhou Ying understood her type after listening. To put it bluntly, she did not want a scholar. “Why? Are all the people your mother introduced scholars?”
“More or less. Even if the person is an official’s son, he’s also a scholar-graduate.
“I heard the new Emperor would be ascending the throne soon. With so many officials dead, they will definitely open special examinations next year. By then, the future of these scholars will be bright..”
