After staying in front of Wei Lingran and Wu Yufei's stall for a while and tasting their food, Tian An and others hurried away for fear of delaying other people from coming to taste and thus affecting the ratings of the two.
It only took a few steps to reach the stalls of Princesses Yonghui and Yongjia.
Although the two princesses have the title of princesses, they are not spoiled at all. Even though they have palace servants to help them, they are not idle either.
Tian An had saved Yongjia before, and when she saw Tian An coming, she took the initiative to call a few people over.
She first thanked Tian An again, and then said, "Please ask my cousin to try the rose and white fungus soup from Yongjia." Because of her previous injury, her hands were not strong enough to make complicated pastries, so she could only settle for the next best thing.
However, the ordinary Tremella soup was instantly enhanced in taste and appearance by being embellished with the fragrance of rose petals. Tian An and his friends each drank a small bowl of it and naturally left a flower in their hand.
Moreover, since they had tasted Princess Yongjia's rose and white fungus soup, they had to taste Princess Yonghui's seven-piece crystal cake next to it.
The crystal cake is made very delicately and is shaped like a six-petal flower. Each petal and the center of the flower are filled with fillings of different flavors. The surface of the cake is crystal clear, and the colors of the seven fillings inside can be seen, making the whole cake form a colorful flower, which is very beautiful.
Although Princess Yonghui was young, she was very skilled in making pastries. The palace maids only had to help her wrap the filling in the dough, pinch the petals and the center of the flower, and she completed the final assembly by herself.
But she seemed a little shy. When she saw Tian An and the others coming over here, her movements slowed down a lot and she spoke in a low voice.
It was not until she saw Tian An and the others give her the flowers that she seemed encouraged and her hands' movements gradually became faster.
After leaving the two princesses' stall, Tian An and the others had not walked far when they heard someone calling her.
Following the voice, Tian An quickly spotted Princess Shuhuai waving at her. Unable to refuse her kindness, the group quickly walked towards her.
Princess Shuhuai's hands were covered in flour, and her delicate little face was also covered with flour. Fortunately, her appearance was good, so she not only did not look sloppy, but even looked a bit cute.
The stall in front of her was filled with pastries of various shapes, but these pastries were quite polarized. Some were delicate and small, all the same size, while others were big and fat, with different shapes, and they looked a bit weird.
Several people looked at the pastries that the maid beside her had just made and placed on the tray. Without being told, they already knew which ones were made by her and which ones were made by the maid.
Perhaps because the appearance of the goods was not very satisfactory, her stall seemed rather deserted compared to the people coming and going at other stalls.
Seeing several people staring at her pastries, she looked away, clearly feeling guilty.
"Well, no matter what, we are old acquaintances. You should at least try my cooking skills!" She said with a determined look, stiff neck and red face.
Since the little girl had spoken, Tian An couldn't refuse. In order not to undermine the little girl's self-confidence, Tian An picked the largest and ugliest pancake he had made.
The pastry needs to be fried before it is considered complete. During this process, Tian An did not forget to ask the maid to fry it for her a few more times.
Although we can't discourage the little girl, she doesn't want to have diarrhea either. The pancake is thick and big, enough to support the other two. If it is not fried for a longer time, it may not be cooked through.
Princess Shuhuai was so excited when she saw Tian An picked out the pancakes she had made herself, "You think this is good too, right? This princess said it all! Pancakes should be big! Who can eat a small one?"
Tian An was embarrassed to disappoint her, so she didn't tell her that she chose the largest one because she estimated that apart from herself, no other ladies would choose such a big pancake. In order to let her give out more pancakes, she could only take away the ones that others didn't want.
Qin Yalan and the others followed suit, each choosing a strange-looking pancake. Princess Shuhuai thought she had finally found a soulmate, and even boasted to the maid beside her, "See! There are still people who appreciate my cooking skills!"
This sentence made Gu Jinyan and others who were eating biscuits cough, and they almost dropped the biscuits in their hands.
"We won't prevent others from continuing to appreciate the princess's craftsmanship. Let's go look somewhere else." After saying goodbye briefly, the few of them hurried away.
Looking at the five new flowers in her basket, Princess Shuhuai waved her hands with satisfaction, "Go! Go! Have fun! If you're not full, come and have some cakes with me!"
Hearing this, a few people who were already a little full of themselves hurried away as if to escape.
After eating such a big pancake, they felt choked. They used the only remaining flower to exchange for a drink at a nearby stall of young ladies, and then found a pavilion near Kristy Wu and the others to sit down and rest.
After a while, when the concubines and ladies had given away all the flowers in their hands, the palace maids came again with a group of noble gentlemen holding flowers.
Compared with the modesty and casualness of the ladies, the men's behavior was a bit too aggressive.
They saw Wu Hongyi, the second son of the Wu family, walk to Wei Lingran's stall without any pause. Without saying a word, he put the five flowers in his hand into the basket in front of her, and then stood in front of the stall waiting to eat steamed cakes.
Tian An and the others who were nearby looked at each other in bewilderment, "Is there such a thing?"
Before this, they had never thought that they could give all the flowers to one person.
"Well, the rules don't say that we can't give it all to one person, so it should be fine!" Zuo Yunshu said uncertainly.
Then Gu Jinyan pointed at the flower basket that was tightly blocked by Wu Hongyi and asked Qin Yalan in a low voice, "Yalan! Why does it look to me like Second Young Master Wu is deliberately blocking Lingran's flower basket?"
When they looked closely, they saw that Wu Hongyi was not only blocking Wei Lingran's flower basket, but it seemed like he wanted to block her entire stall.
After a while, several young men were seen wandering in front of Wei Lingran's stall. Seeing that there was no place to stay, they had to leave in disappointment.
"This, could it be that Mr. Wu is against Lingran..." Several people smiled at each other, and suddenly an auntie smile appeared on their faces.
Besides Wu Hongyi, another guy who carries such a conspicuous bag is An Yijie.
At this time, he was standing in front of Kristy Wu's stall, drinking orange rice wine one cup after another. The cups were so clean that there was not even a grain of rice left, not even a bit of orange peel.
But what Wei Lingran made was at least food, filling, while what Wu Yufei made was hot drinks...
It seems that the palace has not prepared any other food today. I wonder if this guy can survive the day.
