"Well, it tastes good, sweet but not greasy, and very soft. It's suitable for us old people."
Because it was for the Empress Dowager, Yinzuo asked the imperial chefs to put less sugar when making the cake base. He also adjusted the sugar ratio appropriately when whipping the cream, so that the cream tasted mainly milky with a secondary sweetness. The Empress Dowager had lived on the grassland since she was a child, so a cake with a strong milky flavor naturally suited her taste.
Kangxi was naturally delighted to see this and said, "You are so filial, it's very good."
The New Year came shortly after the Empress Dowager's birthday. The New Year celebrations in the palace were actually almost the same every year, and this year was no exception. As usual, they would first go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to attend the family banquet hosted by Kangxi, and then go back home to visit their mothers after the banquet.

What could Yinzuo and Yinzhen do when they saw Fourteenth Prince in this state? They could only take out the purse that Kangxi had just given them in the Palace of Heavenly Purity and hand it to Fourteenth Prince's little hand.
