Now, not only does she have the favor of the Fourth Master, she also has three lovely children, and is no longer the princess of low status.
Soon Wen Mianmian arrived at the harem, walked through several long palace corridors, and finally arrived at Yonghe Palace under the guidance of a servant.
Because she was going to the palace, Wen Mianmian was wearing a flower-plate bottom today. After walking for so long, her feet felt like they were not her own.
Wearing clogged heels was a real torture, especially on the road through the Imperial Garden, where she nearly sprained her ankle twice.
Fortunately, Madam Zhao supported her, otherwise she would have made a fool of herself on her first day in the palace.
After arriving at Yonghe Palace, a servant went in to report, and Wen Mianmian could only wait outside the palace.
Concubine De had woken up now, and just after finishing breakfast she heard that Concubine Wen had come.
"Bring the person in." Defei took the handkerchief handed over by Nanny Yu and gently wiped the corner of her mouth.
As soon as I sat down on the warm couch, Wen Mianmian walked in with a lunch box.
"Your son Wen greets you, mother. May you be blessed with good health." Wen Mianmian put down the food box, knelt down and greeted.
She is now a concubine, and according to the rules she can call Concubine De "mother".
"Get up, sit down and talk." Concubine De had been looking at her since she came in.
I felt that she was much prettier than when I first met her, and her face was not as dark as before.
Maybe it’s because of having a baby, her figure is a lot fuller than before.
His whole attire was very formal and there was nothing inappropriate about it, which was a good thing.
This shows that she did not lose her sense of proportion just because the fourth brother spoiled her, and she knew how to relax and work hard, which is very good.
No wonder the fourth brother likes her.
"This is the snack I brought for you, mother."
Wen Mianmian took out the small cake from the food box with a smile on her face.
This is different from the cake I gave to Xiao Shisi before. These are small cakes, only the size of a palm, decorated with fruits and mint, which look very beautiful.
"I don't know what your taste is, mother, so I put some of each flavor of fruit in it."
Wen Mianmian brought over one of the plates with a small cake on it.
"Mother, try it."
Concubine De glanced at the small cake on the plate and then at Wen Mianmian.
Wen Mianmian had a sweet smile on her face.
"I heard that you made this yourself!" Defei picked up a small cake and said casually.
Then I took a small bite and the taste was similar to that in modern cake shops.
She loved desserts when she was in modern times, and cake was one of her favorites. However, after coming here for so many years and tasting this familiar taste again, Concubine De felt a little emotional for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, she has been here for more than ten years.
Wen Mianmian was unaware of Concubine De's suspicions about her, and smiled as she said, "These are all things I came up with in my free time. If you like them, please have the master bring back a message. I'll have the master bring them in for you to eat."
"You are thoughtful." Defei was very satisfied with her attitude.
"How are those kids? Are they all okay?"
"Mother, they are all fine. They can roll over now. When they are older, I will bring them in to show you."
When talking about the children, the smile on Wen Mianmian's face softened a lot.
"There's no rush. Let's bring them in when they're older."
Seeing that she was still standing there, he said, "Sit down and talk. It's not tiring to stand."
At this time, a palace maid brought in two cups of tea.
Concubine De asked everyone to leave, and for a moment they were the only two people in the room.
"You make cakes so well, why don't you teach the people in my palace when you have time? If they can make it, they won't have to bother you in the future."
Defei put down the small cake in her hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, observing her intentionally or unintentionally.
"Sure, but it's a bit troublesome to make. It also requires an oven. I need someone to make one here at my mother's place, and the process is also a bit complicated."
"What is an oven?" Defei asked in confusion.
"This is used to make cakes, and it can also be used to make many kinds of snacks. This cake is made with that thing."
"I heard that you can make a kind of noodles that can be made with just boiling water. Is that also made with this?" Defei continued to ask.
He also heard this from Little Fourteen, who said that the Third Prince showed off after he came back.
During those days, Little Fourteen kept pestering Old Four to get him some, but Old Four refused.
For this reason, Little Fourteen came to her every day to complain about his fourth brother.
She was sure that this thing was also made by the Wen family.
"How does mother know about that noodle?" Wen Mianmian asked in surprise.
Did the master say that?
"Little Fourteen said so. The Fourth Prince brought this kind of noodles with him when he went to war. He gave some to the Third Prince and the Emperor. I heard it's magical and can be cured by just soaking it in hot water."
"After they came back, Little Fourteen heard about it from the Third Prince and insisted that the Fourth Prince get some as well, thinking that it must have been prepared in your mansion."
"I thought you were so skillful, so this thing must have been made by you."
"So that's how it is. The master hasn't told me about this either. If Fourteenth Brother wants to eat it, I'll have someone make some when I get back and have the master bring it to him."
Empress Defei glanced at her. Was she only going to give it to Little Fourteen? What about her?
Wen Mianmian seemed to realize that she had made a mistake and changed her words, "Send some more to Mother, and let her taste it to see if it tastes good."
De Fei then smiled with satisfaction, "You are so thoughtful."
Concubine De was extremely happy, as she hadn't eaten these things for a long time.
Wen Mianmian chatted with Concubine De for a long time and felt that Concubine De was not that difficult to get along with and was quite nice to her.
Wen Mianmian's impression of Concubine De instantly improved a lot. She felt that she had a very pleasant chat with Concubine De.
The Fourth Master immediately headed towards Yonghe Palace, and the Sixth Master followed him.
"Fourth brother, Sixth brother."
As soon as the two arrived at the gate of Yonghe Palace, they met Xiao Shisan and Xiao Shisi who came to pay their respects to Concubine De.
"Fourth brother, I have written many long articles. When you go back, can you ask Sister-in-law Si to make me some noodles that can be eaten immediately after soaking?" Little Fourteen negotiated.
"What kind of noodles can be eaten after just soaking?" Sixth Master was confused and didn't understand what noodles they were talking about.
Don’t all noodles need to be cooked? What kind of noodles can be eaten after just soaking?
"Sixth Brother, how come you don't even know this? Let me tell you..."
Little Fourteen opened his mouth and spoke out everything without stopping. At the end, his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at his fourth brother.
The Fourth Master ignored them and walked straight into Yonghe Palace.
The people inside had already gone in to report.
