"Is it still dirty even if I don't see it? Is this what you call cleaning it up?"

Xu picked up a handful of ashes on the stove with her fingertips, raised her hand to take a look, then suddenly frowned, turned around, and scolded the maid behind her.

"Your Majesty, this room has been abandoned for a long time. It is already very good that I can clean it like this."

The slave explained to her.

Indeed, it takes a lot of effort to keep this room tidy.

Xu didn't say anything. She knew that she was finding fault with everything just because the maid woke her up from her dream just now.

Anyway, after the milk cake is made, if the queen is satisfied, she will be the one who is favored. Why should she care about these small details now?

She didn't know how to cook and had never seen anyone else cook, so she had to knead the soft dough herself, adding water and flour over and over.

She said to the maid, and looked around the empty kitchen.

She continued to cut the dough. The lady left without saying a few words to her. As soon as she left, the maid came in with some fruits.

She looked at Xu's serious expression and couldn't help but complain that she was getting half the result with twice the effort.

The maid came up hurriedly and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. Xu just waved her hands weakly, then gathered herself together, put the dough aside, and started making milk.

She couldn't help but complain, but her hands didn't slow down at all.

"Go find me some fruit."

The maid responded and ran away quickly.

She screamed as the match star accidentally broke on her body. She screamed and a faint red dot immediately appeared on her delicate skin.

The milk has been stirred almost, and the next step is to make a fire.

The maid stood beside her and watched her kneading the dough. She didn't understand why Xu, who had never cooked before, would make such a boast in front of everyone just to steal the limelight.

The lady followed her explanation.

She put the milk in a bowl and stirred it, then picked up the white sugar at hand, mixed the two together, and put the kneaded dough in. She made a little too much milk cake, so she changed her mind and took out half of the dough.

"Okay, then you can assist me from the side."

The maid put down the apple in her hand and immediately went to help Xu, who was sitting on the ground in fear due to being injured by the sparks.

Xu took a look at the fruits. Although there were many of them, there were very few varieties, and the most common ones were apples.

She tried her best and just gave orders to the maid, but before the maid could rest, she was asked to peel apples.

She found a basin, put the flour in it and poured some water.

Xu might have felt pain and her body twitched a little, but she didn't have any big reaction. Instead, she looked a little dazed.

After an unknown amount of time, the dough finally took on a human shape. Xu let out a long sigh and almost sat down on the ground to rest.

"Thank you for making the milk cake for me, Madam."

"It's just that today I suddenly thought of the taste of my hometown, but the imperial kitchen has to prepare dinner, so I can only ask Madam to cook for me."

Xu went outside to get some firewood and set them on fire again.

She gritted her teeth, and her delicate hands, which had never done any work, were a little red and covered with sticky dough.

"I see. Please help me peel these apples."

"lady!"

"Your Majesty, just wait for my milk cake to be served."

The maid handed the ingredients in her hand to her, and perhaps when she saw the few ingredients in her hand, she frowned. She herself was not a good cook, so how could she turn these rare ingredients into treasures?

There are too many milk cakes and the Empress will definitely not be able to finish them all. It will also be too greasy. She might as well make some other desserts.

"My lady, this is all I can find."

As a servant, she would be scolded if Xu was unhappy. If Xu did something wrong and was scolded by Nangong Jing, she would also be scolded. If Nangong Jing divorced Xu one day, how could her life be good without a master?

"ah!"

"It is my honor to make cakes for the Empress."

"Why is cooking so difficult?"

She was worried about her life all the time, but she met such an unreliable master. "Madam, why don't you take a rest."

"yes."

By the time she came back, an incense stick of time had passed.

She thought better of it and put more strength into her hands. She used it to cut the dough in her hands and only heard the sound of it being opened.

"Go get me some milk and flour."

She said to the person who came with a smile on her face, the smile on her face was very dazzling.

Her original intention was to make Xu give up, but she didn't expect that Xu was so brainless in order to get to the top.

"No, I can do it."

Her facial features were even moving along with the force of the dough being squeezed, and the sunlight shone through the window onto Xu's face.

"Madam, you have worked hard. Do you want to take a rest?"

She deftly lifted up her sleeves and mixed the flour and water together. Perhaps because she had never cooked, she did not control the ratio of flour to water well. The flour was very sticky, and even her cuffs were stained with flour.

"Ma'am, they said that's all."

Xu didn't listen to her advice. She was still busy in the basin with her hands. Sweat beads appeared on her forehead. She gritted her teeth. She had never done any heavy work, so this would consume a lot of energy for her.

She heard her mother's voice and stopped what she was doing.

Although she was neither happy nor satisfied, she had no other choice.

But it’s different now. Lin Jiuxi has disappeared. Although another Gran has appeared, she doesn’t believe that Nangong Jing would not be moved after her hard work.

The maid placed the fruit on the stove, obviously tired.

"Are you okay? Are you in pain? I'll go get the imperial physician right away!"

Xu was a little slow to react and was numbly helped up by the maid. The maid poured cold water on her arm. Fortunately, it was not a big fire, nor were there any serious injuries, and there were no traces of it.

She did not intend to give up, but stood up again and just wiped her wound.

"You go ahead and help me peel the apples, and I'll do the rest myself."

Xu said to the maid, and the maid saw that Xu was determined to do it and no longer had the intention of disturbing her. It all depended on luck.
