If it were placed in modern times, it would also be a work of art that would be applauded.
During this month, because many ingredients were difficult to obtain, she ran all over Funing City and was able to barely make a satisfactory cake.
"Is this me?"
The Queen Mother pointed uncertainly at the woman on the three-tiered cake. Jin Suting nodded affirmatively and said sincerely, "It's you. This is the most beautiful image I've ever imagined Your Majesty to be."
The smell of the cake was so tempting that the Queen Mother asked, "Is it edible?"
Jin Suting nodded again and said, "Yes, they are all edible, and there is enough for everyone to eat together."
"Eat together?"
Helanqin's things have always belonged to her alone.
How can I eat with others?
Seeing the Queen Mother's reluctance, Jin Suting sighed inwardly, thinking that her possessiveness was quite strong. She wanted to explain to her, so she spoke gently, "Actually, this thing is called cake. It's a very sweet and beautiful pastry. Cake is eaten on birthdays, and when we eat it, we put colorful candles on it. Also, cake should be shared with everyone for good luck. This is what I want to talk about, the way to eat cake."
The Queen Mother's frown relaxed a little, but she still felt that there was something wrong with what Jin Suting said. She had never been one of those who believed in auspicious things. She stipulated whether one should eat alone or share with others, so one should do as she stipulated.
Helan Qin had always been so overbearing, just like Helan Ruizhe's father, who had always controlled where Helan Ruizhe went since he was a child. This led to the formation of her son Helan Jun's very rebellious personality.
Helan Qin didn't let him leave the palace, so he secretly ran out of the palace and brought a woman back. Helan Qin asked him to marry Helan Ruizhe's mother, a member of the Lan family, but he was unwilling and resisted with all his might.
But in the end, it was Helan Qin's desire for control that harmed her son Helan Jun. Until his death, he never really listened to Helan Qin's words.
Just like now, she just doesn't want others to eat her cake. She doesn't care who made the rule or whether it's auspicious or not.
"Just cut it up and eat it."
There is no intention to share with others.
Helan Ruizhe, who had been silent, spoke up. "Grandma, since we're celebrating a birthday, we have to be auspicious. We haven't tried this thing called a cake before. Miss Jin was the first person to make one, so we have to follow her method."
He supported Jin Suting's statement, and that the Queen Mother definitely could not finish such a big cake by herself.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty. I agree with what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince says."
Prime Minister Tang actually just wanted to try that beautiful thing. Over the years, apart from Grand Tutor Yu, he had never seen anyone else who would not turn over the food sent to him. What if this thing was only good-looking but not useful?
He is the best at stirring up trouble.
Several people from the Tang family faction also followed Prime Minister Tang's words and suggested that everyone try this new thing.
The Queen Mother couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she said, "Alright, let's share it. I'm in a good mood today."
If you are unhappy today, I will chop off your heads one by one!
The author has something to say:
[Just a few words. I haven't been feeling particularly good lately. The pressure of studying has been immense. I'm also a student, so it's a bit overwhelming. Even though I'm in college, I have so many classes. Mid-Autumn Festival is tomorrow. Well, after that, I'll probably have more classes. I'm not entirely sure. At least I'll use the remaining ten days to get myself in shape. I'm not a professional; I do this purely out of love and passion. But I never seem to be able to produce results, and I feel so guilty about it. However, sometimes I even miss out on studying because I'm busy writing. Lately, I've been feeling lost. I want to continue writing Jin Suting's Helan Ruizhe story because they have so much to go through. I'm already very far along in the outline, and I've thought about it so thoroughly, but I just can't bring myself to act. I don't know why. Or is this a common problem for all writers?
I also read other people's writing, and it feels like my writing is worlds apart from theirs. Sometimes I console myself by asking myself, "How many years have they been writing? How many years have you been writing?" It's only been six months, and while it's certainly challenging, I'm passionate about it, so I think I'll keep checking back. Even if I don't get paid, I'll still stick with what I love. After all, who hasn't had a time in their youth when they wanted to fight tooth and nail?
At least you have to persist to know whether you are suitable for this job.
Moreover, Jin Suting is my first female protagonist, and my first time writing about time travel. I've written short stories before, either about school or youth. Back then, they were just practice, and their time in my writing was too brief, too short for me to notice, care for, or even linger on their emotions.
I'm incredibly heartless and can forget anything in a blink of an eye. But I don't want to forget Jin Suting, not only because she's my first female protagonist, the first character I've written hundreds of thousands of words about, but also because I have deep feelings for her and strong hopes for her.
I always feel that she is not vivid enough, not enough to make people jump to the page at first glance.
Maybe my writing skills haven't reached that level yet.
In fact, Jin Suting is a very contradictory person. She grew up in a very dark environment. It is equivalent to having no parents. Her parents are just figureheads, and she has a younger sister who bullies her all day long.
But she didn't look like she came from such a cold-blooded, despicable family. She simply hid her dark and inferior side so well, so well that even she thought it was nothing. It was just her parents, what was the big deal?
