"Um."

She responded and was secretly glad that she had brought a set of clothes with her when she came. It was really useful now. Gran sent her to the house and closed the door for her. She waited for Xu outside, and Xu came out of the room in just a few minutes.

The clothes on her body had turned into a light pink color, with a gentle tone. She had also sprayed perfume on her body, and the air was filled with fragrance. She seemed to have regained the glory of a concubine.

"Let's go."

Gran looked at her and walked to the front. The two of them followed the path of the chef in the imperial kitchen. The two of them looked very out of place standing among the servants.

Not everyone in the hall had gathered yet. Only the empress was sitting quietly in her seat with a smile on her face. Gran looked at the seats and saw Nangong Jing talking to several officials.

"You guys are here?"

"Then what do you think we should do? Do we have to stop this good atmosphere?"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Gran, who had been standing aside without saying anything, said this, and took out a small bag from his back pocket and poured the white powder inside onto the milk cake.

"This will neither affect the dance nor ruin the great atmosphere."

Xu felt half happy and half disappointed, but she still forced a smile.

"I have coconut flakes."

She explained to the emperor.

The lady spoke after she had tasted it, again with an expression of deep regret on her face.

He looked at the empress who was looking forward to the milk cake, and picked up another piece and put it in his mouth to taste.

The lady put the milk cake sprinkled with coconut flakes into her mouth and experienced the taste of it melting in her mouth. Her expression was filled with satisfaction that was beyond words.

Gran was originally sitting with Nangong Jing, but someone switched seats with her at some point. The distance between her and Nangong Jing was not far, but definitely not close. She wanted to take advantage of this dinner to win over Nangong Jing, but how could this guy win her over?

“Ah~”

Gran smiled modestly, only Xu was grinning from ear to ear.

The dancers in the audience were singing and dancing, and the people below were playing the accompaniment.

The lady smiled at them. Gran looked at her table, where there were milk cakes and apple crisps, but they were still untouched. She must be waiting for them.

He had no interest in such sweet things, but because Lin Jiuxi liked to eat this kind of thing, he pretended to be interested and took a few bites to make her happy. Now that Lin Jiuxi was gone, there was no need for him to pretend anymore.

Nangong Jing was so absorbed in watching that he didn't come back to his senses for a moment. Gran felt a gaze on her. She looked up and saw Nangong Jing looking at her.

She said to the emperor, only to see a troubled look on his face.

Seeing that the emperor above looked very hesitant, Gran spoke quickly.

"Go and help her up."

Nangong Jing then realized his own impoliteness and came to his senses.

“Oh, I see…”

"Wait a minute."

No one dared to help, nor did anyone dare to stop dancing.

The emperor had already taken his seat and gave instructions to everyone.

Xu's eyes were full of anticipation. She stared at the empress without blinking, not wanting to miss any moment that could capture her feeling the satisfaction of eating the milk cake.

As expected, the emperor asked her back.

"Your Majesty, this dance needs seven people to dance beautifully. One less person is absolutely not acceptable. Now one of the dancers has fallen down. If we force them to dance, this dance will not be beautiful."

But in fact, Gran had another idea in his mind.

Gran smiled gently, and she walked over with Xu. Nangong Jing saw the two of them coming, and also walked over with them. He glanced at Gran, and Gran looked up, and then met Nangong Jing's handsome eyes, but then his eyes looked away. Nangong Jing looked at the milk cake and butterfly pastry on the table.

That person...will also look at himself.

"I have learned this dance before and am very familiar with it. I just watched their performance and I have memorized the moves. It just so happens that I am wearing the same color clothes as these dancers today, so why not let me join them?"

“It’s still good, but there’s no coconut flakes. It would taste better with coconut flakes.”

Gran took a look and stood up again.

But she didn't expect that Xu was also working very hard and nothing went wrong.

She looked at Xu. Actually, she had no intention of helping Xu. It was obvious that Xu herself was taking on a job without the necessary skills. But when they were away from home, she couldn't let outsiders gossip that Prince Duan married a useless concubine, so she went to help Xu make milk cakes.

She seemed to want to take advantage of this opportunity today to do something, something she had never dared to do... Today she was finally going to take this step, she just hoped she could work hard.

Gran looked at the emperor with some uneasiness, hoping that he would agree as soon as possible.

Or perhaps he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, so he gave instructions to a few dancers.

"Stop, help her up."

"Go on."

The movements were skillful, and the coconut flakes covered the surface of the milk cake, making people more appetizing.

She explained to the emperor.

"Since everyone is here, please take a seat."

The smile on the emperor's face disappeared and he called for a stop again.

The emperor listened with great interest and a bright smile on his face.

Nangong Jing was moved for a moment. He remembered that Lin Jiuxi also liked coconut flakes when eating milk cakes, and he wanted to fill the milk cakes with coconut flakes.

Nangong Jing was stunned. The way Gran got the coconut flakes was so similar to Lin Jiuxi's. And the way they got them was also very similar, putting the coconut flakes on the milk cake and then shaking the plate to make them spread out.

"The two concubines in Prince Duan's Mansion are really a different world."

Suddenly, a young woman fell to the ground, and her clothes were trampled to pieces. She fell to the ground, and the other dancers were all shocked and looked at the woman with a broken leg on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I will. If Your Majesty finds it uninteresting, then please take a look at it. I will definitely not disappoint you."

"Well, I'll see what tricks you can come up with."

Finally, the emperor said to her, and Gran was delighted to see her walk into the middle of the dancers.

With her status, she did such things, but it didn't make others feel strange.

She raised her hand and the music started again.
