Chapter 1343: Eastern Palace Reward
After Qiao Xuan lazily and carelessly got up, she was shocked when she heard about this!
Then my face started to feel hot.
This is a bit... embarrassing!
Qiao Xuan didn't need to think to know that how could the aunt of the East Palace believe Lixia's reason? Who knows what she is thinking of her.
Qiao Xuan smiled bitterly: "Forget it, I will just take good care of myself and go to the East Palace in a couple of days to pay my respects and express my gratitude!"
Lixia and Liqiu helped to unpack the gifts sent by the Crown Princess and looked at them one by one. To Qiao Xuan's surprise, they were very rich: twelve pieces of imperial brocade of various colors, a set of rouge and powder made in the palace, two small jade and porcelain ornaments within a foot in size, two purple copper carved hand warmers, a gilded hollow incense burner with animal buttons, a box of white sandalwood, a handkerchief made in the palace's weaving and embroidery workshop, a box of exquisite palace silk flowers, a pair of gold-inlaid white jade bracelets, and a pair of emerald jade pendants.
In addition, there are two crabapple-shaped mahogany lacquer pastry boxes, each containing six kinds of exquisite pastries and six kinds of candied fruits.
Qiao Xuan tasted a piece of chestnut cake that was slightly larger than her thumb. It melted in her mouth and had an excellent taste. In addition to the aroma of chestnuts, it also had just the right amount of milky flavor. It was very delicious.
There are also lotus cakes that look like lifelike lotus flowers, with overlapping petals, evenly thick and thin, and a light and fresh pink color. I don't know how it was made, but the stamens in the middle are golden, and the top is dotted with bright red cherry jam. The colors are distinct, elegant and pretty. It tastes crispy, sweet, and has a unique flavor.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "As expected of the East Palace's imperial pastry chef, the pastries he made are indeed different from what we eat everyday. You should all try some. Take a plate and put one of each on it for Qingyan."
Lixia and Liqiu agreed with a smile and tasted the food. The master and servant talked for a while and then each did what he was supposed to do.
Shao Yunduan came back early today and was able to make it in time to have dinner with Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan's plan to have a big meal in the evening did not change. Shao Yunduan came back to accompany her. This was a pleasant surprise, and she was even happier. Well, the little resentment she had in the morning also disappeared in an instant.
They sat opposite each other under the lamp, the hot pot in the middle of the small table was bubbling and emitting hot white steam, the aroma of the food wafted throughout the room, it seemed like they hadn't eaten together for a long time, this scene touched their hearts for no reason and made them feel very warm.
The two of them chatted and laughed while having dinner, then stood in front of the window and talked for a while to digest the food, then quickly washed and bathed and returned to their room to sleep.
Qiao Xuan was afraid that this guy would have some thoughts again, so before he looked over, she quickly said, "You must have been tired recently. It's a rare opportunity to get home early today, so you should have a good rest. Let's go to bed early!"
Shao Yunduan sneered, "I'm not tired, my lady."
"How come? You must be tired!"
"I had a good rest last night!"
Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, her pretty face flushed as she angrily said, "You're talking nonsense again! Ah, stop talking!"
Shao Yunduan laughed heartily.
In the end, he didn't make trouble for her. He just hugged her and talked privately for a while, and fell asleep soon after.
The next day, someone came to the East Palace again to give rewards. This time it was a eunuch in charge. When Qiao Xuan saw him, she gave him rewards politely and sent him away politely.
Today's reward was given to Shao Yunduan by the Crown Prince.
The emperor also knew what happened at the banquet the night before.
Please support me with monthly tickets, sisters.
