Chapter 1074 Ice Lotus Cake

She knew that because of all the good things she had brought to the Great Chu State when she was born, all the people believed that she was a blessing from heaven.

Therefore, the subjects of the great Chu State all respected themselves very much.

But no one would have thought that these people would actually associate a lotus of ice with the joy and anger of heaven.

The loss of Binglian was just a small accident for her.

It will not affect the arrangements of the palace banquet.

But at this time, the kitchen was already in chaos.

After saying these words, everyone started running around looking for the whereabouts of the Ice Lotus.

The originally orderly meal preparation work came to a complete standstill. At this moment, finding the ice lotus became the top priority.

Wanwan could even hear the clatter of pots and pans in the room.

In the midst of this chaos, a young female official stood out. She looked at the people in front of her with an upright posture and a firm look in her eyes.

"Don't panic, everyone. Listen to me."

After saying this, her voice became louder.

The people who were frantically looking for the Ice Lotus stopped when they heard the voice and turned to look in her direction.

"Although the ice lotus has been lost, there are many dishes in the palace banquet. If other meals are delayed because of this dessert, I am afraid it will affect the entire palace banquet."

"Now everyone should do their respective duties and do the work at hand well. I will find a way to resolve Binglian's matter."

After hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of the female official and was stunned for a moment.

Although this female official usually has great prestige in the kitchen, what is lost now is Binglian after all. She is just a female official. How can she find Binglian?

But what the female official said was not without reason. If they continued to delay, it might affect other meals.

Your Majesty will certainly blame me then.

This year, the ice lotus is the last dessert, so there is still time.

So under the continued persuasion of the female official, everyone finally gathered their minds, stopped their frantic searches, and returned to the meal preparation work in front of them.

The female official was also unsure, but the most important thing now was to stabilize the morale of the army.

Wanwan just looked at them like this, seeing their frowned faces, and knew that they must be worried and afraid in their hearts.

Since I'm here today, I will definitely help them find the ice lotus.

At this moment, Wanwan was standing on the wall outside the kitchen, trying hard to observe her surroundings.

Look around for some great places to hide something.

However, what happened when she passed by the garden near the dining room just now suddenly flooded into her mind.

Just now when Wanwan was passing by the garden, she heard some noise coming from there.

At that time, she did hear what the eunuch said, but she just thought that the eunuch wanted to ask someone to bring some valuables home.

This is also a common occurrence in the palace.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace, in addition to their daily monthly allowance, would occasionally receive some rewards.

Some caring families would send the unexpected money back home.

But now if it is related to the loss of the Ice Lotus in this palace, she probably knows.

She still clearly remembered that the little eunuch said that the item was prepared for the palace banquet, and if it was lost, she would not be able to withstand the wrath of His Majesty.

The other party's voice was full of sarcasm and even a bit threatening.

The other party just said, you are just a eunuch in the laundry room, if something was lost in the kitchen, how could it be blamed on you?

Wanwan really didn't think much about it at the time and just thought it was just their casual chat.

After all, it was common for things to be lost in the palace. But now that I think about it, it was probably not lost, but stolen.

And the thing to be stolen is probably Binglian.

Stealing money is a small matter, but if the Ice Lotus is lost, I'm afraid the entire kitchen will be affected.

And my father's reputation will also be ruined at today's palace banquet...

Thinking of this, Wanwan jumped down from the wall with a strong posture.

Wanwan's sudden action startled everyone in the already tense kitchen, and they all turned to look at her.

There was someone in the kitchen who had delivered meals to Qingyun Palace before, so he naturally recognized Wanwan.

Wanwan heard clearly that one of them lowered his voice and said, "It's Princess Yong'an."

As this man said this, no one dared to hesitate. They quickly put down their work and fell to their knees with a thump.

"Meet Princess Yong'an."

Although their tone was respectful, Wanwan could hear a hint of trembling in their voices as they greeted her.

It's fear.

They were afraid that Princess Yong'an should have been in Xuanfu Palace accepting everyone's worship at this time, but now she appeared in Yu's study.

If the princess knew that the Ice Lotus was lost, they would be doomed.

Wanwan seemed unaware of this fear of the crowd.

She took a few steps forward and looked at the female official in the front. Then she asked with a hint of curiosity, "I heard you mentioned ice lotus just now. What is it used to make?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

The entire dining room was in total silence.

For a moment, it seemed as if the only sound that could be heard in the entire kitchen was the crackling sound of the firewood burning in the stove.

No one dared to break the silence.

Everyone also knew that it would be disrespectful to the princess if they avoided answering her questions.

After a moment's stalemate, the female official took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, walked to Wanwan's side, bowed slightly to her, and continued speaking.

"Princess, this ice lotus is used to make ice lotus cake."

Wanwan suddenly became interested and simply dragged a stool beside her and sat down, staring at the female official in front of her with burning eyes: "Iced lotus cake? Can you tell me about it?"

To be honest, as a cultivator, she had never even heard of ice lotus, let alone ice lotus cake.

But according to what these mortals said, this ice lotus should be something with spiritual energy.

Maybe she was just surprised by what she had seen, or maybe Sister Qionghua knew about it.

Or maybe, the spiritual energy of this thing is extremely low and it has no effect on cultivators.

But my father is quite extravagant. He actually made such luxurious and rare ice lotus into ice lotus cake just for a palace banquet.

The female official took a deep breath and continued, "To answer your question, Princess, the production of this ice lotus cake is indeed quite complicated."

Since the princess asked, as the person in charge of the kitchen, she had to answer respectfully.
