Zhao Yiming was about to finish school, so Tian An packed up two plates and left, not forgetting to give instructions before leaving. "Send some to Granny Qin and Mr. Han, and divide the rest among you."
Xiaokang and Xiaoqi also finished their classes and were writing in their room. Their eyes lit up when they saw Tian An coming with something.
"Sister, what delicious food did you make today? We just smelled it, it smells so good!"
Tian An put down the plate and invited the two to come over and eat. "This is a small meat floss cake. Dinner will be served in a while. You can eat a little first and then have dinner later."
They each picked up a cake and ate it with satisfaction, "This meat floss cake made by my sister is so delicious! It smells fragrant and tastes soft and sweet."
Xiaokang finished one, sighed, looked at the remaining meat floss cake on the plate and said, "If only Yaoyao were here, she would definitely like this cake."
Tian An wanted to say, "As a princess, what good things can't she have? You have no right to worry about this." But seeing his brother's sad face, he decided not to pour cold water on him.
She only said, "I'll do it for her next time I meet her."
"So when can we meet her again?"
In the palace.
Yaoyao stared dumbfoundedly at the empty chocolate box in her hand. "Mother, I'm out of chocolate. Are the chocolates in the imperial kitchen ready?"
The queen looked at her personal maid Qingyi beside her.
Qingyi stepped forward and apologized, "Your Highness, the princess's two types of candy have already been made by the toffee royal kitchen. I've tasted them and the taste is pretty similar.
Chocolate... Chocolate hasn't been made yet. The royal chefs haven't figured out what chocolate is made of..."
The more Qingyi spoke, the softer her voice became. She had been urging him many times these days, but in the imperial kitchen, all the chefs, big and small, had tried, but no one could make it. At most, they just guessed that milk was added, and they knew nothing else.
Hearing this, the Queen frowned and asked, "How long has it been going on? They haven't even figured out what they're doing?"
Qing Yi replied stiffly, "Perhaps, perhaps it was the first time for the imperial chefs to see chocolate, and the quantity was limited, so they only tasted a small piece. I'm afraid, I'm afraid they didn't get the flavor."
Each chocolate that Tian An gave to Yaoyao was about the size of a quail egg. There were only a few in the box. The Queen and the Emperor ate one each, plus the one she ate herself.
There were only a few left, so I only took one out for the imperial chefs to taste. I guess each person only got a little crumbs, and I'm afraid they would melt away before they could even taste the flavor.
The Queen knew that this was indeed a bit unreasonable, but she had already promised her daughter. Besides, if the imperial kitchen couldn't even make a piece of candy, wouldn't it be a joke if it got out?
Seeing Qingyi's embarrassment, Yaoyao knew that the chocolate from the imperial kitchen was probably ruined. Her beautiful eyes rolled around as she pestered the queen:
"Mother, can't the chocolate in the imperial kitchen be made? Please let me go out of the palace to find Brother Xiaokang and the others! Brother Xiaokang must still have some chocolate."
How could the Queen dare to agree to her? The last time she sneaked out, she made such a big mistake. God knows how she got through that time. She cried all day long, couldn't eat or sleep. In just a few days, she looked several years older. The wrinkles on her face could not be hidden now. She didn't want to experience such a shock again in her life.
But he couldn't reject Yaoyao directly, otherwise she would definitely make a fuss. After thinking for a while, he coaxed her softly, "Didn't you say that your brother Xiaokang wanted to study? You will delay him if you go to him."
Yaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go during the New Year! Brother Xiaokang will definitely take a day off during the New Year."
Queen: “…”
Qingyi, who was standing by, reminded her, "Princess, the palace will have a banquet during the New Year. I'm afraid you won't have time."
Yaoyao rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while before saying, "Then let's go after the New Year. The holiday hasn't ended yet after the New Year."
Now Qingyi was at a loss.
The Queen thought for a moment and passed the buck to the Emperor, "Your father must agree to this."
"Then I'll go find my father." Yaoyao said, got off the chair and ran out of the hall. A group of palace maids followed her.
"Oh! This child." The queen sighed, and when she saw someone following her, she didn't care.
In the Imperial Garden.
"Princess, the roads are slippery in the snow, please drive slowly..." Before the personal maid could finish her words, she heard a "bang".
"Ouch! My head!"
"Now you know your head hurts, but you don't run slower." Xiao Chen helped Yaoyao up who had bumped into him.
Yaoyao was so happy to see him that her big eyes shone brightly, which made Xiao Chen get goose bumps on the spot.
"You, don't look at me like that, it's creepy." He said and tried to slip away.
Yaoyao quickly grabbed his fox fur coat and started to act like a spoiled brat. "Brother San, please take me out of the palace! Let's go play with Brother Xiaokang and the others."
Xiao Chen was startled and hurriedly tried to pull out his cloak. "You must be joking! The last time I took you out of the palace, such a big incident happened. You have no idea what I've been going through recently. If I take you out again, my father will beat me to death."
Yaoyao clutched his sleeve tightly, not letting go. "Third brother, just take me with you! This time we'll go quickly and come back quickly, and bring more people with us. It'll be fine if we don't let Father know!"
Xiao Chen was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to use too much force, which gave her the opportunity to climb up. Seeing that he was completely entangled, he was not panicked.
He said with a dead pig fearless attitude: "Anyway, I won't take you out again this time no matter what I say, so just give up on this idea!"
Then he let Yaoyao act like a spoiled child and refused to give in no matter how soft or hard the tactics were.
Seeing that this girl was determined not to turn back until she hit the wall, he thought for a long time before saying a compromise: "What do you want to do when you go to Xiaokang? Just tell me and I'll help you do it."
Yaoyao unwillingly pulled Xiao Chen's sleeve and shook it, saying, "Third brother..."
Xiao Chen turned his head to the side and said, "It's no use acting like a spoiled child. If you have anything to do, just tell me. If you don't want to tell me, forget it. Anyway, I won't take you out of the palace."
Seeing that Xiao Chen refused to give in, Yaoyao had no other choice but to think for a moment and said, "Then Third Brother, can you help me bring something to Brother Xiaokang? I promised to treat him to some delicious snacks."
Seeing that the little troublemaker had finally relented, Xiao Chen agreed immediately, fearing that she would regret it: "No problem. Prepare the things you need to bring, and I'll pick them up after school tomorrow."
Now, Yaoyao didn't go to look for her father. She left her third brother and ran to the Queen's Palace to deal with Qingyi.
"Aunt Qingyi, please ask the imperial kitchen to make lots of cakes for me! Lotus cakes, peach cakes, almond cakes, hibiscus cakes, dragon beard cakes..." Yaoyao listed a long list of cake names in one breath.
After knowing the whole story, the queen didn't say anything. She nodded and asked Qingyi to go and give the instructions. As long as this precious girl didn't make a fuss about leaving the palace, she would let her do as she pleased.
