The oven had been working for two days and was now ready for use. With his previous experience baking mooncakes, Tian An was full of energy and spent the entire afternoon making cookies, cream puffs, pork floss biscuits, and pork floss cake rolls.
The whole afternoon was filled with fragrance, and the sweet and tempting smell in the yard never stopped, which made Xiaokang and Xiaoqi, who were studying, have to be reminded by Mr. Han several times.
Finally, when school was over, Mr. Han let them go and rushed straight to the kitchen.
"Sister An An, what delicious food have you made again? The fragrance can be smelled from far away!" Xiao Qi said while swallowing her saliva.
Xiaokang also said: "Sister, what you made today is so delicious that it makes me hungry."
"Look how greedy you two are." Tian An touched the heads of his two younger brothers and put two cookies, two cream puffs, a pork floss bun and a pork floss cake roll on a plate for them.
"Eat it in two portions. It's almost time for dinner. If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat dinner later."
"Thank you, sister." The two happily carried the plates back to the room.
Tian An packed two more plates and asked Dong Ru to take them to Grandma Qin and Mr. Han's room.
Then he packed two copies in boxes that had been customized in advance and had them delivered to Gu Jinyan and Qin Yalan.
Just as I finished all this, Liu Hui came to report that there were guests at home.
"Guests?" Apart from Qin Yalan and Gu Jinyan, they didn't know anyone in the capital!
Tian An walked to the front hall in confusion and saw Xiao Chen sitting upright drinking tea, with a clean-skinned servant standing behind him. Both of them kept glancing outside.
As a result, when they met Tian An's gaze, they were both stunned.
Tian An strode into the hall and said, "It's you! I was wondering who it was."
Seeing Tian An being so casual, the servant behind him shouted in a shrill voice: "How dare you, I saw you..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Chen stopped him and said, "We are friends, and she is my savior. There is no need to worry about these empty formalities."
Only then did Tian An realize that the other person seemed to be a prince, and according to the rules she should salute him.
How did this etiquette work? She remembered that Granny Qin seemed to have taught her before.
After she finally remembered, Tian An was about to salute when Xiao Chen stopped him, "I told you not to be so polite."
You didn't have to be so polite, why didn't you say it earlier! She had been thinking for a long time. Tian An complained in his heart, but said politely on the surface: "How can this be! Etiquette cannot be abolished."
"Really, no need. Didn't I tell you that we are friends? You don't have to greet me when you see me in the future."
"Well, alright then! I won't be polite."
Phew! That's all, once and for all. Tian An stood up straight instantly, not even looking like he was going to salute, as if it was just Xiao Chen's illusion.
Before Xiao Chen could react, Tian An asked again: "Why did you come here suddenly today?"
Xiao Chen pointed at something on the table and said, "Let me come and see you!"
"Did you prepare all this?"
Tian An was just about to say that he was thoughtful when he heard him say, "Yaoyao asked me to bring these for you."
“…”Okay! It turns out this guy is just a delivery man.
Tian An smiled and praised: "Yaoyao is such a thoughtful child, she still remembers everyone!"
Xiao Chen: "..." Praising Yaoyao for being thoughtful, doesn't that mean he is heartless?
Xiao Chen immediately took out a bag of preserved fruit from the gifts beside him and said, "I brought this."
Tian An looked at the various exquisitely packaged snack boxes on the table, and then at the plain preserved fruits in Xiao Chen's hand. No matter how he looked at them, he felt that they were bought in a hurry on the way to make up the number.
But he still smiled and said, "You are all thoughtful." After thinking for a moment, he said, "Do you want to meet Xiaokang and Xiaoqi? They can't stop talking about you."
Xiao Chen nodded: "Since you are here, let's meet!"
Seeing him nod, Tian An sent someone to call Xiaokang and Xiaoqi.
Xiao Chen suddenly thought of something and hurriedly searched his body again.
After a while, he took out a thick envelope and handed it to Tian An, "This is a letter from Yaoyao to you."
Tian An took the envelope with a look of shock, "Yaoyao can read enough words to write a letter?" He thought to himself, she is worthy of being a royal princess, this education is simply amazing.
Inside the thick envelope were four small envelopes, each with the names of Tian An, Xiaokang, Xiaoqi and Zhao Yiming written on it.
Tian An picked up the letter with his name on it and opened it. What caught his eye was the beautiful and clean small calligraphy with flowers on it. However, judging from the handwriting, it should not have been written by Yaoyao.
So it was a ghostwriter! That’s what she said! Xiaokang still can’t write a letter independently! Yaoyao is not even as old as Xiaokang! It seems that royal princesses are no different from ordinary people!
The letter went on and on about how much she missed them in the palace, and that all the chocolate Xiaokang gave her was gone because the imperial kitchen couldn't make more, and she hadn't eaten chocolate for many days.
Then she said that she asked her third brother to bring them a lot of delicious cakes.
Finally, she said that during the time she was missing, her mother was worried all day long and her skin became worse, so she asked her if there was any way to help.
As soon as Tian An finished reading the letter, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi ran in. They surrounded Xiao Chen excitedly and asked why Yaoyao didn't come with them.
Xiao Chen said, "She is too young, her parents won't let her out." He pointed to the letter in Tian An's hand and said, "She wrote a letter to you."
Tian An handed them the letter with their names on it. Xiaokang took the opportunity to take a peek as she opened it. Sure enough, this was Yaoyao's handwritten letter! It was covered in ink scribblings of all sizes, and scribbles of symbols. She didn't know if Xiaokang could understand it, but she couldn't understand it herself.
While the two children were reading the letter, Tian An asked Xiao Chen again: "Can you stay for dinner? We don't like wasting food in our family, so we prepare food in appropriate quantities. If you can stay for dinner, I'll ask someone to prepare it right away."
Xiao Chen was a little moved. He smelled a very special fragrance when he came in, which made him very greedy. Just when he was about to agree, he was pulled by the servant beside him.
Xiao Chen's mind cleared up instantly, and he quickly refused, "I have to hurry back! I won't eat this time."
Hearing this, Tian An was surprised and asked, "Are you in a hurry? Then I'll go prepare something for you to take back to Yaoyao!" Then he asked Xiaokang and Xiaoqi, "Do you want to write back to Yaoyao?"
The two children's eyes lit up and they expressed their willingness to reply. Then the three of them hurried back to the backyard, leaving Chunxi alone to pour tea and entertain the guests.
Xiao Chen was dumbfounded. Did they just leave him here like that? They were too rude!
Tian An first went to the pastry shop and ordered two packs of each of the cookies and cakes he'd made that day. Then he returned to his room and retrieved a set of skincare products he'd made earlier, along with a box of chocolates. Finally, he wrote a letter to Yaoyao.
