As soon as she finished speaking, the maid outside came in and reported:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is here..."
Concubine Li?
Luo Lan was stunned for a moment, and quickly instructed the girl:
"Quick, invite Concubine Li to the front hall."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the front hall with Acai.
When she arrived at the front hall, Concubine Li was already sitting there waiting for her. When she saw her come out, she was about to get up, but Luo Lan hurried over to stop her.
"You're not feeling well, please sit down!"
Concubine Li nodded with a smile on her face, then pointed to a small food box on the table.
"I invented this pastry when I was bored in the Imperial Mausoleum. It tastes really good, so I brought it to you to try."
As she spoke, she gestured to Ah Xing to open the box of pastries. Ah Xing did as she was told and took out an exquisite plate with several novel pastries on it.
Looking at these cakes, Luo Lan picked up a piece and took a bite without any precautions.
"Mm, it tastes good. I didn't expect you to have this skill."
Concubine Li pursed her lips and shook her head with a bitter smile.
"I've been in the Imperial Mausoleum for six years. I haven't learned much else, but I did learn a lot about making various pastries. If I hadn't gotten this serious illness, I would have liked to continue staying there. Life there is very comfortable and peaceful."
"Well, I was saying this when I came back. I envy your life there. But it's the imperial mausoleum after all. You're weak, so it's better not to go there as much as possible in the future."
"Thank you for your concern, Queen. By the way, if you like it, I will make it for you tomorrow. A different style every day. I guarantee you will like it."
Seeing Concubine Li's enthusiasm, Luo Lan picked up another piece of cake and started eating, praising her constantly:
"It tastes really good, but don't make it for me all the time. You've just recovered, so you should get more rest."
Concubine Li waved her hand nonchalantly.
"No problem, as long as you like it, I'm happy. Take your time eating it. I'm going back first and will bring it to you tomorrow..."
After saying this, she slowly stood up. Ah Xing hurried forward to help her up and slowly walked outside.
This pastry tastes really good. It is not easy to eat such pastry in the closed ancient times.
Luo Lan couldn't help but eat two more pieces.
