As the guards hesitated, Steward Rong and Duke Rong came out from inside.
Xi'er took the cake from An'er's hand, ran forward, and placed the cake in Rongguo Gong's hands. "This is a cake that my young lady asked me to deliver. Please take it inside for me."
Duke Rong looked at the cake in his hand with surprise, and a familiar logo and name caught his eye.
Just as the steward was about to step forward and reprimand him, Duke Rong waved his hand at him.
"The Jiang family? Who is your young lady?"
Xi'er truthfully replied, "My young lady is the owner of Jiang's Private Kitchen. She asked me to deliver the cake to the Grand Princess's residence."
Duke Rong's face lit up with joy. "Your young lady has come to the capital? Where is she?"
"Miss is in Chongqing. She asked me to open a Jiang's Cake Shop in Beijing, which opened a few days ago. The cakes have been delivered, so I have to go back!"
Xi'er was about to leave when she said that she had a lot of things to do!
Duke Rong grabbed her arm, "Wait, wait! Steward, go and call Li Yang over!"
Xi'er bit her lip and glanced at An Er.
An Er didn't even lift his eyelids, clearly not intending to help her.
Xi'er really wanted to say that she was just a cake delivery girl...
Li Yang was very fast. She ran ahead, her maid chased after her, and a chubby little boy that Xi'er knew very well also followed behind.
"That girl is here? Where is she? Oh, it's you, girl? Where is your young lady?" Li Yang asked in a series of questions.
With a pained expression, Xi'er repeated what she had said to Duke Rong to Li Yang, and finally said in a distressed tone, "Grand Princess, I still have to go back and make cakes. I haven't slept all night!"
Oh dear, I've really got dark circles under my eyes from staying up so late!
Li Yang clicked his tongue in admiration and instructed the steward to reward Xi'er with a gold ingot.
Xi'er accepted the gold ingot, forced a smile, said goodbye, and hurriedly boarded the carriage.
An Er clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, then turned and left without saying a word.
Li Yang sighed softly and complained, "Why did you send such a quiet fellow and a little maid? And you, Steward Rong, didn't you know that girl runs a shop in the capital? How many times have you made the same mistake? What use are you!"
Butler Rong felt bitter inside; this little princess was not playing by the rules...
Rong Yue stepped forward and put his arm around his mother's shoulder, chuckling, "Mom, let me go take a look. It's Aunt Jiang's shop; I have to go and support her, don't you think?"
Just as Li Yang was about to nod, her expression changed, and she said seriously, "Mother, you should go by yourself! Your Aunt Jiang said you can't eat those high-sugar, high-oil, and high-fat foods, especially desserts like cakes!"
Rong Yue's face fell, and she tugged at her father's arm, "Dad...!"
"Father still needs to go to the palace to meet the Emperor, Li Yang, save some cake for me, I'll eat it when I get back tonight..."
Inside the carriage, Xi'er carefully wrapped the gold ingot in a handkerchief and muttered to herself, "Young Master likes gold ingots, so I'll keep this for him to play with!"
An Er glanced at her and said, "Don't stay up all night making cakes anymore, it will affect the cake shop's business."
Xi'er let out a slow "Ah," unable to understand how her staying up all night to make cakes could affect the cake shop's business.
The following day, Li Yang arrived at the cake shop with a large entourage.
It was the Grand Princess's entourage... The crowd in line stepped aside, making way for this person of extraordinary status.
Xi'er, wearing a mask, came out from inside, stood in front of the counter for a moment, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Your Highness, why don't you join the queue...?"
Li Yang found it both funny and infuriating. She finally understood that this simple-minded girl used to only have eyes for her young master, but now all she had eyes for was the Jiangshan's orders and the cake. She was a stubborn girl.
She was too lazy to nag Xi'er anymore, and pointed randomly at the cakes in the cupboard, "This one, this one, this row, and the ones in that cupboard, wrap them all up for me, I want to take them all with me!"
The people queuing nearby were all showing some emotional changes, but no one dared to make a sound.
Just as Xi'er was about to refuse, An Er pulled her aside and forced a formulaic smile, "It will be delivered in three days. Please be patient with us for a few days, Grand Princess."
I'm not entirely satisfied, but it's acceptable. Anyway, I'm not in a rush to eat this cake; I'm just supporting the bakery. Three days is fine!
"It must be delivered to the Grand Princess's residence in three days!" The Grand Princess's head maid tossed a purse, which landed steadily in Anshou's hands.
The important people came and went quickly, and the crowd returned to its previous queue order.
Xi'er peeked into the purse in An's hand and asked, "Is it gold?"
An Er paused for a moment, then handed the purse to Xi'er.
Xi'er happily took the purse and saw that it was full of gold leaves!
Forget about scolding An Er, he quickly hid them in his pocket; these were all for the young master!
The accountant stood there dumbfounded, wondering how he was supposed to keep these accounts.
Jiang Huai was unaware that he already had a loyal fan who helped him amass wealth. Right now, he was drawing comics with his father, insisting on dressing the monkey in a tiger skin.
Jiang Shan was designing sportswear for Jiang Huai, and also designed a matching parent-child outfit for Fu Qiyuan.
She chose the fabric, designed the style, and picked the color; the cutting and sewing were all done by Liangchen.
Liangchen looked at the new clothes designed by Jiangshan with great amazement and exclaimed, "I never knew clothes could be worn like this! They're so beautiful! Miss is amazing!"
Jiang Shan smiled slightly, glanced back at Fu Qiyuan, and thought to himself that both of them, one tall and one short, were top-notch in terms of height and looks. They would be internet celebrities in no time if they were in modern times!
“Miss, that sleeveless dress you made for Lord Fu last time…” Liang Chen was stopped by Jiang Shan’s look before she could finish speaking.
Fu Qiyuan looked over with a smile, exchanging knowing glances with Jiang Shan.
After confirming the style, Jiang Shan made some changes to the pocket design, and Liang Chen ran off with the design drawings in her arms without looking back.
Fu Qiyuan asked, "You made me clothes? Why haven't I seen you put them on?"
Jiang Shan said calmly, "It's still early. You can only wear it in the summer."
"Let me try it on now, and I'll wear it when it gets warmer."
Jiang Shan paused for a moment, then said earnestly, "I still think it would be better to try it when it gets hotter."
Fu Qiyuan fell silent.
Jiang Shan thought the matter was over, but that evening, Fu Qiyuan, dressed in his undergarments, knocked on Jiang Shan's door.
Before Jiang Shan could speak, Fu Qiyuan raised his sleeve and said quietly, "The sleeves of my undergarment are worn out, and the one I wore yesterday is also coming undone. I have no undergarment to change into tonight!"
Jiang Shan silently looked at the freshly made hole in Fu Qiyuan's elbow with scissors, resisting the urge to slap him against the wall, and took a deep breath.
"Shan'er... my clothes..."
Jiang Shan suddenly pulled Fu Qiyuan inside and slammed the door shut.
