Peel and pit the loquat fruit, then cut it into small pieces or blend it into a puree using a blender.
Add the processed loquat fruit to the previously filtered loquat leaf decoction and continue to simmer over low heat. Stir occasionally during the simmering process to prevent sticking.
Add an appropriate amount of rock sugar during the decoction process to increase the sweetness and viscosity of the liquid.
Continue simmering over low heat until the liquid becomes thick and glossy, then turn off the heat.

Mix the all-purpose flour, oil, and sugar evenly. Then gradually add water or milk and knead into a smooth dough.
Add the prepared apricot filling to the dough and knead until the apricots are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into small pieces and press them into circles with your hands or a mold.

“Go, Xiao Anzi just told me that the First Prince is off this afternoon, so he should be with the Princess Consort. With the child around, at least our situation won't be awkward.”
Geng Youran said she was going to thank the Fujin, but her real purpose was to explain.
The main reason he drank the contraceptive soup so many times was to alleviate Ulanara's concerns.
But who knew that this body had such a special constitution that it would still get pregnant after drinking the contraceptive soup?
If I don't explain, the princess might think I did it on purpose.
She needs the support of the Fujin (wife of the emperor) right now, and she can't let Ulanara be too wary of her.
