Chapter 203 Tasting Pastries



After all, Qian Ruolan is also the Queen of the Eastern Palace, and Yan'er is just a maid of the princess.

In this era of strict hierarchy, if a lady from the Eastern Palace apologized to her maid, it would be a disgrace to the royal family.

Even the old lady wouldn't ask her to do this.

The old lady then avoided the issue and then spoke to Qian Ruoyu indifferently.

"It seems that your sister is very sensible. If that's the case, this matter will be over."

Qian Ruolan felt relieved, it seemed that the old lady was not an unreasonable person.

No matter what, if a royal family member apologized to a maid, if the queen knew about it, who knows what kind of storm it would cause.

The old lady turned around, opened a basket in a nanny's hand, and took out a small box of cakes.

The old lady said to Qian Ruoyu.

"I just got this box of cakes from the Queen Mother. I heard that they are the most delicious cakes in the entire harem. I ate one and left another, so I brought it to you."

"Haha, you should also take this cake back to the palace and enjoy it."

But just when the pastries were taken out, Qian Ruolan’s eyes widened!

Because the pastry that the old lady just took out was exactly her favorite "Si Hai Gui Yi"!

And the old lady said even more.

"I heard that the name of this pastry is Four Seas Returned to One. I just tried a piece and it was really delicious, so I had to give it to you to enjoy."

Qian Ruoyu also heard that the name of this cake was "Four Seas Returned as One".

It was precisely because of this that Qian Ruoyu's gaze suddenly turned directly to Qian Ruolan, as if he was showing off to Qian Ruolan.

Qian Ruoyu took the box of pastries from the old lady's hands, and then spoke to her respectfully.

"My dear grandson thanks the old lady."

The old lady even smiled and said, "Oh, my dear grandson is really good at talking, and he is so polite."

The two of them sang the same tune, which made Qian Ruolan, who was standing aside, very angry.

It would have been fine if he hadn't gotten Qian Ruolan's favorite pastry, but now it appeared in front of him, and it was given to Qian Ruoyu by the old lady.

This pastry is her favorite, but she didn't expect these two people to show off in front of her.

But at this moment Qian Ruolan had absolutely no solution.

Qian Ruoyu recalled the conversation just now and spoke directly to the old lady.

"Old Madam, how about we eat here? It would be too much trouble to go back to the palace. Besides, my dear sister is also here, so we can share it together!"

Although she didn't know what Qian Ruoyu's intention was, after hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, the old lady nodded slowly.

"Okay, okay, since you want to eat here, let's eat here."

The old lady looked at Qian Ruolan again.

"Why, as the mistress of the East Palace, are you really not going to give us seats? Or are the maids in your East Palace inflexible?"

Upon hearing the scolding, Qian Ruolan nodded quickly, then ordered the maids to clean the table and brought three stools.

Qian Ruoyu placed the Sihai Guiyi cakes on the table. After opening the box, there were exactly four cakes inside.

The pastry looks like a cube-shaped cake with the same length, width and height.

This square piece of pastry is divided into four layers from top to bottom.

The four layers of pastry look very easy to distinguish.

The top layer is a layer of egg yolk, but the egg yolk is beaten into strands, which look golden, delicate and distinct.

The second layer of the pastry is a layer of dragon beard pastry, which looks snow-white and fine, and is extremely different from the egg yolk of the first layer.

The next third layer looks like water chestnut cake, which looks colorful and delicious.

The fourth layer is pea yellow, which is an ancient traditional pastry that is sweet but not greasy.

There are four layers of pastry in total, no wonder it is called "Four Seas in One".

Although Qian Ruoyu has not tried it yet, she can tell that this Four Seas Return to One is probably more than just delicious.

After the old lady sat down, Qian Ruoyu immediately spoke.

"Please taste it first, old lady."

It was given to Qian Ruoyu by the old lady, so Qian Ruoyu is absolutely qualified to say such words.

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, the old lady nodded slowly and took a piece of "Four Seas Return to One" from Qian Ruoyu's hand.

"Just now, I ate a few pieces in the Queen Mother's bedroom, but this Si Hai Gui Yi is really delicious. I wonder which genius chef came up with this idea."

"In that case, I'll taste a piece first, you eat it too, you eat it too!"

After saying that, the old lady took a bite and then a smile of extreme enjoyment appeared on her face.

Qian Ruoyu naturally took the second piece of Si Hai Gui Yi as well.

But Qian Ruolan didn't dare to do anything.

Because what the old lady said was "you eat too", not "you guys eat too".

Qian Ruolan was not stupid. She knew that there were some traps in the old lady's words, so she did not dare to act rashly.

But when Qian Ruolan saw that the box contained her favorite pastries, she couldn't bear it for a moment and put her hand on the table.

After Qian Ruoyu took a bite, he instantly realized that the various flavors of the four seas returning to one could be perfectly blended together.

Sweet but not greasy, cool and smooth, delicate taste, soft and refreshing, these characteristics are almost all combined together. No wonder Qian Ruolan likes Sihaiguiyi so much.

Qian Ruoyu just took a bite and immediately fell in love with this pastry.

There were also two pieces of Sihaiguiyi cakes in the box.

After the old lady saw that Qian Ruolan was not fooled, she smiled and said.

"Madam Donggong, don't you like the food that I, the old lady, treat you to? Or do you think that an old woman like me is not qualified to treat you to cakes?"

Qian Ruolan quickly shook her head, then picked up the pastries while speaking.

"No, no, no... It's my honor that the old lady has given me a piece of cake. I'll eat it right away..."

After saying this, Qian Ruolan quickly took a bite of Si Hai Gui Yi, an expression of enjoyment showing on her face.

After all, it was her favorite pastry, how could she endure it any longer?

But after Qian Ruolan took two more bites, she realized that the Si Hai Gui Yi in her hand was finished in an instant.

Under normal circumstances, the entire box of four pieces of Sihaiguiyi would belong to Qian Ruolan, but Qian Ruolan can only eat a quarter of it now.

The old lady asked kindly.

"How's it going, my dear grandson, how does this Four Seas Return to One taste?"

Qian Ruoyu immediately praised: "Old lady, your taste is really amazing!"

"This pastry is finely crafted, sweet but not greasy. I didn't expect to have such a treat today. Yu'er is very happy to be able to eat such pastries with the old lady."

Qian Ruoyu praised the pastries and the old lady with just one sentence.
