"Quick, tell me! When did you start liking me?"
"There is a beautiful one, whom I see and cannot forget. A single day without seeing them, and I yearn like mad. A phoenix flies hi...
[The entire book was originally scheduled for three days, but because some chapters were not released, it was changed to fifteen days. If you don't like it, please don't criticize it, just take a detour~
Also, they said the revisions would be completed during the National Day holiday, but since there are too many things left, I'm slowly revising them and will release them bit by bit in the next two days. And then, I wish everyone a happy National Day~
Not only the Queen Mother, but everyone who saw the full picture of the painting was amazed.
The painting showed the beautiful mountains and rivers that Yu Qinglan had mentioned.
The vast mountains and rivers of Fuding Kingdom are all vividly portrayed on paper.
The painting shows a picture of a rising sun. Above the calm water, the sun has just risen, with its pale yellow corners just showing a little, like a shy little girl.
Everything is revived and a light mist is spreading among the mountains.
Between the water and the sky, the boundaries between mountains, rivers and seas are blurred, as if they have merged into one.
It was a very beautiful painting. Jin Suting looked at it again and again, staring at it for a long time before drawing a conclusion.
It must have taken a long time to draw.
The Queen Mother was shocked and felt sorry for Yu Qinglan. How long did it take to create such a masterpiece?
She even forgot to compliment him: "How long did it take you to paint this picture?"
Yu Qinglan said, "More than half a year."
Everyone sighed when they heard this. He had started painting half a year ago. It took great perseverance to bring the scenery of Fuding Kingdom and the world to life on paper.
"Reward, reward."
The Queen Mother asked the palace maid to accept the painting, and she decided to frame it in her bedroom.
At this time, Jin Suting had become somewhat sober. She stopped drinking and her stomach was full.
Just ate a few cakes.
Tang Ruozhi performed a dance, Yu Qinglan presented a painting, and two of the candidates for the Crown Princess had already presented their birthday gifts.
The whole banquet was filled with an eerie atmosphere of "It's Jin Suting's turn now."
How many people are waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
The old general also noticed the atmosphere. He turned to Jin Suting and gave her a look that said "go ahead".
Then Jin Suting stood up and took a deep breath. This stage was always going to come.
She first walked into the hall carrying a box of egg yolk pastries, and everyone looked at the small red box in her hand.
Some of them almost laughed out loud.
This is too shabby.
She first bowed to the Queen Mother, then opened the red box and said, "Happy birthday, Queen Mother of the People. I specially present this small gift as a token of my respect."
A faint milky aroma emanated from the red box, with six golden egg yolk pastries lying quietly inside.
"This is really a small gift~"
I don't know who made the first mocking remark, but a few ignorant people started laughing. Compared with the birthday gifts given by Grand Tutor Yu and Yu Qinglan before, isn't this a little too, too shabby?
Yu Seung-ho was also shocked. Isn't this really too bold?!
Even if she doesn't have money, she can't give her something like this. Even if she doesn't have money, doesn't the prince have money? So, is this okay?!
He stood there anxiously, Yu Qinglan holding down his impatient knees. She said, "Be quiet."
When the Queen Mother saw the little red box in Jin Suting's hand for the first time, her eyes lit up.
She was not like those ministers who had lived for fifty years and had seen countless gifts. Before she entered the palace, someone even gave her a roasted pigeon.
The smell drifted into my nose. It smelled very sweet, as if I had smelled it somewhere before, but it didn't seem to be the same smell.
No matter what, she still asked Eunuch Bai to take the red box from Jin Suting's hand.
I plan to try this sweet little pastry myself.
Jin Suting was nervous and uneasy. She was nervous because so many people were staring at her and her every word and action would be magnified. She was uneasy because she was afraid that the Queen Mother would not like the taste of the egg yolk pastry.
After all, egg yolk pastry is sweet and salty. Just like cilantro, people who like it love it, while people who hate it hate it.
She did her research before making the egg yolk pastry, as no one here had ever made egg yolk pastry or similar pastries.
Because no one here knows how to make the "Snow Meringue" in the egg yolk pastry. She learned this when she was in college and the courses were too boring and too difficult, and there were not enough courses, so she signed up for a baking interest class in her spare time.
The Queen Mother pinched an egg yolk pastry with her hands and took a small bite. The crispy texture of the egg skin was very good. She couldn't help but take another bite. The salty egg yolk and sweet red bean paste spread in her mouth, as well as the chewy snow meringue.
If you chew it carefully, it tastes very good.
"very good."
The Queen Mother gave her high praise, although I still don’t like Jin Suting herself, but who can have a problem with a food festival?
"reward……"
"Mother of the Nation, etc."
Jin Suting interrupted the Queen Mother's words. Just when everyone was surprised that this little girl was so bold, Tan'er came out from the back of the hall on a two-wheeled cart, pushing a large cake with three layers that was big enough for two people to hug.
The cart was borrowed temporarily. The cakes on the cart were the most beautiful and delicious ones made by Jin Suting after countless experiments.
This time, no one mocked Jin Suting. Instead, they were amazed because no one had ever seen such a beautiful thing.
The cake has three layers. On each layer, Jin Suting carved delicate patterns with homemade yogurt and surrounded the surface of the cake with peony flowers.
There are fruits in the intervals. The first layer is strawberries, the second layer is yellow peaches, and the third layer is grapes. These are the Mother of the Nation’s favorite fruits.
The third layer is the most outstanding. Jin Suting spent three full days carving a sugar-paste figure of the Queen Mother.
It is called sugar paste, but it is actually colorful.
She wore a domineering red coat, a golden hairpin and phoenix crown on her head, black hair without a trace of impurities, and red lips gently touching her face. She looked lifelike and extremely beautiful.
