"That's right."
A hint of warmth appeared in Concubine Wei's eyes, and then she talked about the person in her dream, "This woman is very young, and looks only five or six years older than me. She dresses differently from us.
"She had short hair and wore a strange gown. She said it was called a cheongsam. She said she came from an era called the Republic of China and entered the concubine's dream.
"She also said that she was a patriotic university student who had studied abroad and had encountered a shipwreck on her way home and drowned in the sea.
"But for some reason, after her death, her soul drifted to this ancient and unfamiliar dynasty. She said that there was no such dynasty in the history she knew."
When Concubine Wei said this, a sad look appeared on her face.
Because she could fully understand the deep sadness that the woman in her dream felt when she talked about her hometown and motherland.
"The woman said that her family was a businessman in a place called Beiping, specializing in making various pastries. She went abroad and learned how to make Western pastries, and that donut was a Western pastry.
"The woman also told me that she was just a lonely ghost now, unable to do anything, but she wanted to pass on all her life's knowledge to me. She had been wandering around Dongqi for a long time before she realized that I was the only one who truly loved making pastries, and she didn't do it for fame or profit."
Concubine Wei paused for a moment and continued, "I learned a lot from her. Although she said some of the instruments were not available in this era, I worked with her to find ways and still made many delicious cakes.
"In my mind, she is a master worthy of respect.
"But a few days ago, Master was angry with me because I did something that went against her and my original intention, so she hasn't come to talk to me in my dreams in the past few days.
"I started having nightmares."
There was a hint of self-blame and regret in Concubine Wei's words.
When Xiao Shuangbao heard this, a look of sympathy appeared on his little face.
She thought silently in her heart: Concubine Wei, the pastry chef in your dream is not angry with you, she is controlled by the succubus.
Looking at that thin ghostly aura, if he didn't take action, this pastry chef would be devoured by the succubus!
Being devoured by a succubus is a very serious matter.
The succubus will possess the memories and abilities of the pastry ghost, but it is essentially a demon, and will certainly pretend to be the pastry ghost to seduce Concubine Wei to make a deal with it.
By then, I'm afraid Concubine Wei will end up like Concubine Zhang!
At this time, after Concubine Wei finished talking about the female ghost in her dream, she couldn't help but frown and talked about her recent nightmare with some distress.
"For two days in a row, I dreamt of a very beautiful woman. She was dressed in blue and had a charming appearance. She said she could help me, so that I could have the supreme honor and favor that all the women in the harem wanted, and that the emperor could like me more than anyone else.
“But this woman likes to listen to gossip.
"Every day she would pester me to tell me some gossip she knew.
"I don't like her and don't want to talk to her, so she makes me dream of falling off a cliff, being burned by fire, or suddenly losing all my skills and being unable to make a single cake..."
Indeed, for someone who likes to make pastries, not being able to make pastries is naturally a nightmare.
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Shuangbao understood what was going on after hearing this.
This succubus has begun to find ways to lure Concubine Wei into making a deal with it.
"Empress Wei, do you believe Shuangbao?"
she suddenly asked.
"Of course I believe it. The little princess is the person I trust the most in the harem."
Concubine Wei was stunned for a moment, then she said with a smile on her face.
"Okay, then remember Shuangbao's words. No matter what the person in your dream says to you, don't agree! Even if she becomes your pastry chef and asks you to promise her something, you must not agree!"
Little Shuangbao's face became solemn.
Her words made Concubine Wei stunned again.
"Little Princess, could it be that something happened to my master?"
Concubine Wei thought of Xiao Shuangbao's abilities and quickly asked, "Can you help my master?"
"I came here today for this. Don't worry, nothing will happen with me here."
As Xiao Shuangbao spoke, he looked around.
Soon, she saw a blue jar on the windowsill with a few flowers in it.
This is exactly the jar that Master Gao had painted before!
"Madam Wei, where did this jar come from?"
She asked quickly.
"This was sent by the Imperial Household Department. They said it was a decorative item given to concubines according to regulations. Lvliu thought the jar looked pretty, so she used it to arrange flowers."
Concubine Wei was very smart. Noticing that Xiao Shuangbao had a subtle expression, she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this jar? Could it be that it's not clean?"
The uncleanness she was talking about naturally refers to dirty things like "evil spirits".
"Um."
Xiao Shuangbao nodded, and without saying anything, he raised his hand and threw a piece of talisman paper over and stuck it on the jar.
Suddenly, the jar began to shake violently!
Not long.
There was a loud "bang"!
The jar actually flew up from the windowsill and ran out!
However, Qin Cheng had already set up a barrier outside.
The jar bumped into the barrier and immediately felt dizzy!
"This princess advises you to surrender honestly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
