Xiao Ruyan held Su Xiaoxiao's hand sympathetically and asked seriously, "How come you haven't gone crazy yet?"
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
The next day.
Su Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Ruyan to borrow the kitchen, and took Xing'er to make two boxes of flower cakes and a basket of pig buns.
Her body became heavy, mainly due to Xing'er.
Xing'er is clever and deft. She had learned cooking from her mother on the way to Western Jin Dynasty, and now she has no problem becoming a master.
The flower cakes are for Xiao Ruyan and her mother-in-law, and the pig buns are for Nie Xiaozhu.
Nie Xiaozhu was pulled out of bed by his mother early in the morning to learn martial arts, and he was reluctant to do so.
But when he saw the cute little buns on the table, he immediately perked up.
"It's Zhuzhubao." Su Xiaoxiao said.
Nie Xiaozhu looked at the golden toad that he couldn't bear to let go of even when it was sleeping, and then looked at the pig buns in the steamer, his eyes widened.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh: "I made it for you, do you want to try it?"
Nie Xiaozhu nodded.
He finally had the heart to put the golden toad into his pocket, which Xiao Ruyan had tried to snatch away last night before he went to sleep.
He took one in each hand, said thank you, and then ran away.
He went to show off his piggy buns to his grandma.
Xiao Ruyan yawned as she watched Nie Xiaozhu swoosh over and almost knock her over.
"Nie Xiaozhu! What are you doing again? Didn't we agree to practice martial arts today? Do you want to get beaten again? You give me—"
Nie Xiaozhu ran away.
Having one son almost tortured her to death. I couldn't imagine how Qin Su had the courage to continue having another baby when she already had three sons.
Su Xiaoxiao gave the flower cake to Xiao Ruyan and begged her to apologize to her mother-in-law on her behalf.
"Oh, I told you it's not your fault..."
Xiao Ruyan took a bite of the flower cake, her eyes lit up, "This, this was made by you?"
"Yeah." Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
“This is so delicious!”
Xiao Ruyan was incredulous, "You guys have this skill?"
Xing Er smiled and said, "My young lady's skills are better, I only learned half of them!"
“Is this just half-baked?”
Xiao Ruyan seriously suspected that Xing'er was being modest.
Xing Er is by no means being modest.
The food she cooked was delicious, but she only inherited three-tenths of the young lady's skills. If Mrs. Nie had tasted the young lady's cooking, she would definitely look down on her.
"I'll send it to my mother-in-law right away!"
Xiao Ruyan brought a box of flower cakes to her mother-in-law's yard.
The mother-in-law had already been scolded by Nie Xiaozhu.
Seeing Xiao Ruyan coming over, he said unhappily, "It's so early in the morning, can't you let me have some peace and quiet?"
Xiao Ruyan smiled and put the food box on the table. After opening it, she brought out a plate of flower cakes: "Mom, these are the cakes made by Qin Su and the others. Please try them."
Nie Xiaozhu had finished eating two pig buns and reached out to take the flower cake, but Xiao Ruyan slapped her hand away.
"Mom, you eat first."
"I'm not hungry, leave it alone for now."
Nie Xiaozhu quickly took two.
The corner of Xiao Ruyan's mouth twitched.
Nie Xiaozhu passed one to her mother-in-law's mouth: "Grandma, eat it."
If his grandmother doesn't eat it, his mother won't allow him to eat it.
So scheming.
Nie Xiaozhu was the mother-in-law's weak spot. The mother-in-law took it and took a bite expressionlessly, then her expression paused.
Xiao Ruyan asked expectantly, "Mom, how does it taste?"
The mother-in-law said indifferently, "It's better than the pancakes you make."
Xiao Ruyan took her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Then let Qin Su stay at home for a while, and ask Xing'er to make cakes for you every day, changing the recipes. By the way, let Miss Cheng teach Nie Xiaozhu martial arts. I think Xiaozhu likes her very much and always goes to see her."
Nie Xiaozhu shuddered.
The flower cake in my hand suddenly lost its fragrance! - Xiao Ruyan was not in a hurry to send the phoenix flower seeds to Baihua Palace, but in order to find out the whereabouts of Qin Su's son as soon as possible, she decided to go to Baihua Palace today.
"Pick the seeds in the morning and deliver them in the afternoon..."
The business of Baihua Palace cannot be fussy, so she does all the seed picking herself without asking anyone else for help.
She spent half the night picking, but only picked a little bit. She’s afraid she won’t be able to eat lunch.
She yawned again and went to the front yard.
"Madam." Su Xiaoxiao greeted her with a smile.
"Xiaoxiao." She walked over in a daze and glanced at the dustpan in Su Xiaoxiao's hand. "Huh? Isn't this the seeds of the phoenix flower?"
"I've picked it out for you, check it out."
Su Xiaoxiao handed her the dustpan.
Xiao Ruyan was startled: "I just put it there... I went to my mother-in-law's place... Have you picked it out?"
She took it and examined it carefully.
It should be said that it is cleaner than she picked it! Xiao Ruyan asked: "How did you do it?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Use a sieve to keep the big seeds and sift out the small seeds."
Xiao Ruyan was struck by lightning! "Why didn't I think of such a simple method? Other people become stupid for three years after pregnancy, but I have been stupid for five years..."
Xiao Ruyan was about to cry.
"I remember now, my mother-in-law has that kind of sieve in her room, she must have done it the same way, I'm the only one who's stupid... She didn't tell me... Look at me, stupid!"
I just want to find you something to do to pass the time.
Xiao Ruyan calmed her wounded heart and said, "Forget it, let's go."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her strangely.
Xiao Ruyan asked: "Baihua Palace, aren't you going?"
"Can I go too?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Xiao Ruyan glanced at her bulging belly and said, "You can't go in. After all, you are pregnant and it's not appropriate for you to dress up as a maid. But you can wait for me in the carriage. If there is any news about your son, I will come out and inform you immediately."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled: "In this case, I'm so grateful!"
Xiao Ruyan paused and said, "Let me make it clear first. I am just asking. If your son is really in Baihua Palace, I may not be able to bring them out."
The Baihua Palace is too powerful. Apart from big gangs like the Killer Alliance and the Qianji Pavilion, few people dare to make enemies with them.
Su Xiaoxiao said sincerely: "It's enough to find out."
Xiao Ruyan looked at Xing'er who was hanging clothes to dry and said, "Xing'er can come in with me and just say you are my new maid."
This method is feasible.
As for the saint, Su Xiaoxiao decided not to take her with her.
There are too many masters in Baihua Palace, and someone discovered her yesterday.
Even the mother-in-law could tell that the Saint was a puppet, so the people in Baihua Palace might have discovered it as well.
Moreover, Ling Yun’s puppetry might have been passed down from Baihua Palace.
It’s better for the Saint not to get close to the Hundred Flowers Palace for the time being.
The three of them got on a carriage and took a jar of poinciana seeds to the Hundred Flowers Palace.
The carriage was parked in the awning outside the palace.
Xiao Ruyan took Xing'er out of the carriage and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "It's very safe here. Just wait for me in the carriage."
There are disciples from Baihua Palace stationed at the door, and they will not allow anyone to cause trouble here.
"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao agreed.
Looking at the two people's backs as they walked in, she began to get nervous.
Da Hu, Er Hu, Xiao Hu, are you in there? Mom is outside.
Mom misses you very much.
