[I've been feeling a bit guilty about not updating for the past few days. I just remembered to update now, but no one's reading it anyway. It doesn't really matter whether I update or not... But then I think this is too decadent, so I've decided to update another thousand words today.]
When Eunuch Bai received the order and was about to go down and cut the new thing called "cake", Jin Suting stopped him and said, "You can't cut it now."
What are you up to next?
Prime Minister Tang couldn't sit still any longer. He asked, "How could you be like this, little girl? You've repeatedly blocked the Queen Mother's decision. Do you have any ill intentions?"
You have ill intentions.
Jin Suting smirked, "I wouldn't dare, but I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. Isn't Prime Minister Tang being a little too impatient?"
Prime Minister Tang flicked his sleeves and gave her a look.
The Queen Mother said, "Jin Suting, what exactly are you trying to do?"
She had been eager to try this delicious "cake" for a long time, but she was always stopped, which made her very angry.
Jin Suting said, "Don't be anxious, Mother of the Nation. You should put the candles on the cake first."
"Candles?" Prime Minister Tang laughed out loud, looking at the large, thick candles in the lampshades around him. "You mean to put those things into this thing called cake? Then it can still be eaten, you little yellow-haired girl, don't try to trick us!"
Jin Suting laughed and said, "Prime Minister Tang is truly ignorant. Do you think candles are only used for lighting, and are of only one type?"
She asked Qin'er to take out the small cloth bag she had prepared in advance, spread it out, and show the contents to everyone.
There were many colorful sticks lying in the small cloth bag.
Oh no, look closer, they are just many colorful little candles.
The candle was very small and was even half the size of an ordinary candle.
No one has ever seen anything like this.
This time, not only Prime Minister Tang was surprised, but everyone who saw these small candles was also very surprised.
The Queen Mother's eyesight was not very good. She said, "Bring it up so I can see it."
Eunuch Bai put down the cake knife, took the colorful candle from Jin Suting's hand and presented it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and fiddled with the other two candles with her slender, armored fingers.
"How is this done?"
Jin Suting replied, "I use string as a candlelight, melt it over high heat, put the drained flower petals in, and dye them into beautiful colors. Then I paste them onto the stringlight."
“Very creative.”
The Queen Mother praised her for the first time today.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your praise."
Prime Minister Tang was speechless, as he really could not find any mistakes.
Jin Suting added, "There are a total of one hundred candles. Today is the Mother of the Nation's fiftieth birthday, so we should put fifty candles on the cake. This is a symbol of good luck."
The Queen Mother asked, "Then there are fifty more?"
Jin Suting said, "There are still fifty left. If the Queen Mother likes them, I can give them to you."
Queen Mother: “I don’t like it.”
What does she want this thing for?
Jin Suting: "..."
Jin Suting: "It's okay, it's okay."
After the candles were inserted and lit, the image of the Mother of the Nation on the top layer of the cake looked very beautiful under the bright light, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Queen Mother: "Can we start eating?"
Sure enough, what matters most to me is the food.
Jin Suting: "Of course you can eat now."
Eunuch Bai picked up the knife again and hesitated, not knowing how to start.
Jin Suting said, "Let me do it."
She pulled out the candles one by one, picked up Eunuch Bai's knife and cut them.
She cleverly avoided the image of the Mother of the Nation at the top, cut the first piece of cake onto a plate, and then carefully picked up the person on the top with a knife, taking each step lightly and landing accurately next to the cake on the plate.
