"Little Princess!"
Wei Liang Di had not expected to meet Little Shuang Bao right away. Her eyes lit up immediately, and then she remembered her status. She quickly and respectfully bowed to the little baby and said, "Your concubine greets the little princess. May the princess be well and safe."
"Dear Wei, please get up quickly."
Xiao Shuangbao is a princess of the first rank, while Wei Liangdi is only of the fifth rank, so she deserves this etiquette.
When Wei Liangdi stood up, she saw the little baby in front of her with a pair of watery, round, black eyes, a white face that looked like it was made of snow, and a chubby little chin. The whole person was indescribably cute, and she couldn't help but like him immediately.
If she had wanted to get close to Xiao Shuangbao with a purpose before, now she wanted to interact with her from the bottom of her heart.
"Little Princess, I know the Emperor is very busy with state affairs and dare not disturb him any further. So today I am not here to bring cakes to the Emperor, but to the Little Princess."
"For me?"
Xiao Shuangbao was suddenly surprised.
"Yes, it's for the little princess."
Wei Liangdi was touched by her little appearance and her eyes curved slightly with a smile.
As he said this, he took the food box from the palace maid and opened it.
Suddenly, a sweet aroma filled the air.
Little Shuangbao quickly poked his head over, only to see that this time there were no rabbit cakes inside, but several ring-shaped cakes instead.
"Wow! What is this?"
She asked curiously.
"This is called a donut."
Wei Liang Di smiled and said, "Little Princess, I'm not bragging, in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, I'm the only one who can do this!"
"Really? Even the chef in the imperial kitchen can't make this?"
Little Shuangbao was a little surprised.
"Of course it's true. I dare not lie to the little princess!"
Wei Liangdi is very confident.
"Wei Liang Di is amazing! I love all kinds of cakes and pastries, and Dad always asks the Imperial Kitchen to make them for me, but this is the first time I've seen a cake called a donut!"
Little Shuangbao looked at Wei Liangdi with admiration.
Wei Liangdi suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Actually, it's not that I'm good, I just learned it from others."
She continued.
"That's amazing! This donut looks so complicated! If Shuangbao were to make it, even if I taught her step by step, she definitely wouldn't be able to do it right! But Wei Liangdi was able to learn it! This shows that Wei Liangdi is talented and intelligent, and must be very willing to work hard to make it so good today!"
Xiao Shuangbao still praised generously.
Wei Liangdi was stunned by what she said.
"I have indeed put in a lot of hard work and practiced diligently. After experiencing many failures, I finally learned it.
"Because I am obsessed with making these pastries, my father and mother don't understand at all. They always scold me for not doing my job properly. Unlike other ladies from wealthy families who practice music, chess, calligraphy and painting, I spend all day tinkering with these things in the kitchen.
"Later, I learned how to make any pastry with ease. Others would at most compliment me on my dexterity, but they never considered that even if I had talent, it was mostly just practice that resulted in repeated failures..."
Wei Liangdi thought about it carefully and said in a daze.
After she finished saying this, she looked at Xiao Shuangbao again, and her eyes were even more sincere.
"Little Princess, I want to thank you so much! If it weren't for your words today, I would have forgotten the hard work and sweat I put in to learn how to make these cakes."
Wei Liangdi said this gratefully, but at the same time she felt a little ashamed in her heart.
As the saying goes, stay true to your original aspiration.
But she had only been in the palace for a few days, and she had already forgotten her original intention.
She just wants to be a simple foodie instead of thinking about vying for favor all day long.
Wei Liangdi knew that she was too naive to think like this, but now facing the little princess, she was unwilling to think about the intrigues and struggles in the palace.
"Then Wei Liangdi, can Shuangbao be eaten now?"
The greedy little cat Shuangbao has been drooling at this moment.
"Of course you can, little princess, try it!"
Wei Liangdi said with a smile.
On the side, Juqing quickly took a handkerchief to wash Xiao Shuangbao's hands.
Little Shuangbao couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth.
"Hmm... great times!"
Take a bite, it's soft and crispy.
Little Frost immediately fell in love with eating the crispy outer shell!
She ate two in a row.
"Little Princess, this is too sweet. Eating too much is bad for your teeth. Don't eat too much!"
Seeing that her little hand was about to take it again, Wei Liangdi quickly stopped her in a soft voice.
"Oh well."
Little Shuangbao had to withdraw his hand with a feeling of unsatisfied. Seeing that there were still many inside, he instructed Juqing, "Pack two donuts and send them to Daddy and the Queen Mother, and send a few to Concubine Wang. Princess Seven will definitely like them too.
"Well, there are two left, so the brothers won't give them to you! Shuangbao will go and give them to Brother Ayu later!"
Juqing couldn't help laughing when she heard her distribute the donuts like this.
"If the eldest prince and his brothers knew about this, they would surely be jealous of Young Master Yu and accuse the little princess of being partial and only thinking about Young Master Yu instead of them, her brothers."
She joked deliberately.
"Hehe, next time if there are any, I will definitely share them with my brothers!"
Seeing how much she liked it, Wei Liangdi couldn't help but feel flattered.
"I can make some more! I'll make sure the little princess has enough!"
She said quickly.
"Ah? But won't this be troublesome?"
Little Shuangbao was a little hesitant.
"It's not a big deal, I just like making these things!"
Wei Liangdi said happily.
"Then I'll trouble Wei Liangdi! By the way, how long will it take to make these? When the time comes, Wei Liangdi won't have to deliver them personally. I can pick them up myself! I also want to visit where Wei Liangdi lives!"
Xiao Shuangbao said again.
"It's a little late today, and I still have ingredients to prepare. Let's do it the day after tomorrow! I will definitely be able to finish it before dinner the day after tomorrow!"
Wei Liangdi calculated the time carefully and then said.
"Okay, then the day after tomorrow! Can Shuangbao go to Wei Liangdi's place for dinner?"
"sure!"
Wei Liangdi was very happy.
That being the case, she didn't stay any longer and went back to start preparing.
Xiao Shuangbao looked at the starving ghost who had been following her and sighed softly.
"Why did the little princess suddenly sigh?"
Juqing asked with some confusion.
"The cake-making recipes that Wei Liangdi learned were probably not given by ordinary people."
She just said this and refused to say anything more. She took two donuts and asked Chen Cao to accompany her to Zhong Liyu.
Juqing didn't ask any more questions.
She divided the donuts and sent them to the palaces designated by Xiao Shuangbao.
So, in just one night, everyone in the harem knew that the newcomer to the palace, Wei Liangdi, was very skillful, and the cakes she made were praised by Princess Lingfu. Even the emperor, the queen, and the royal concubine liked them very much. After tasting them, they sent people to give rewards to Wei Liangdi.
