The emperor was so startled that he knocked over the teacup on the table. Eunuch Gao, who was standing outside the door, hurriedly asked,
"Your Majesty, do you need me to call someone?"
"Let General Cui enter the palace secretly and don't make it public!"
"yes"
Eunuch Gao knew that something big must have happened again and General Cui had been mobilized, so he immediately called his apprentice to be on duty and he had to make arrangements personally.
After giving instructions to Eunuch Gao, he wrote a reply to Bai Zhiyue, telling her to proceed according to plan and not to worry about her safety, as he would send shadow guards to protect her.
"This letter must be delivered to your master, understand?"
Qin Minghao repeatedly reminded him, fearing that the bird had been delivered to the wrong person.
Congcong nodded again and again to show that he understood, but he was still hesitating, which made him so angry that he picked up the letter and left.
What about the emperor? He is not decisive at all and keeps nagging, which is so annoying.
"Hey~ Wait, let me tie it up for you. What if it falls off along the way?"
Congcong stretched his legs, not looking at him, and turned his head away.
【Hurry up and tie it up! Tsk tsk!】
Qin Minghao thought to himself that Lianniao was as tough and impatient as his master.
After sending Congcong away, the Emperor suddenly remembered that he could have asked his shadow guard to send him off, but why did his brains fail when he met this master and servant?
Call Ying Wusan immediately,
"Go find Madam Bai and confirm receipt of my letter. If there are any instructions, just write them down."
"yes"
Ying Wusan and Congcong arrived almost at the same time. When Congcong saw Yingwei following him, he rolled his eyes to the sky.
I'm still worried, he's just an ordinary bird.
"Greetings, Madam. The Emperor has sent his subordinates to await your orders!"
[I'm not waiting for your orders! The Emperor doesn't trust this divine bird. He's afraid I'll deliver it to the wrong person or not in time, so he sent him to supervise!]
[When have I ever been unreliable? I look down on birds too much! ]
[Yueyue, you must help me talk to the emperor. If you continue to look down on me, I won't help him deliver letters next time. Humph!]
Bai Zhiyue understood the reason.
[The Emperor is so short-sighted! I'll have my shadow guard tell him to tell you that I'll pay you for running errands. If the pay is too little, you won't do it. It's just a lot of work for nothing!]
[Yes, yes, yes. I forgot to ask him for his errand fee. I'll earn some money in the future, and I'll give it all to you. Help me prepare different meals every day. Remember to collect the money from the last few times as well.]
【no problem】
After reading the reply, it was the same as what she thought, so she decided not to take any action yet. She would give him time to send people to surround those places, control the known peripheral forces first, and then lure out all the people in the imperial city and annihilate them in one fell swoop. She would try to act at the same time and not give them the chance to inform each other and escape.
The date is set for August 19, my son’s birthday. If nothing goes wrong, we will catch them all before they take action.
However, she would not leave the safety of herself and her son to the emperor's people. She was the only one who could be trusted, and she could not guarantee that there would be no accidents, so she had to make the necessary preparations.
"I understand what the emperor means, but the people watching over Wanshan Pavilion should stay away so as not to alert him. I don't need to arrange anyone here for now. On the birthday, you can just pretend to be palace guards and sneak in."
It's not that they have to follow the emperor's arrangements, but this matter concerns their future stable life. Since they have identified him as someone who must be eliminated, they must get rid of him first.
"Yes, I will follow Madam's instructions."
"There's one more thing. The emperor sent you here because he was worried that the bird might deliver the wrong message. Look, he's angry. I'm afraid he won't be willing to do anything next time."
Congcong nodded quickly and acted like he was angry and couldn't be appeased.
Ying Wu San was so excited that he kept twitching his lips. He thought that this bird might have become a spirit.
"Go back and tell the emperor that if you want to coax him into doing the work, you should give him more gold and silver as a reward, and also make up for the remuneration for reporting the news several times. He has also made contributions. Even if people do no work for you, they should still remember their hard work. He still doesn't believe it. Now he is completely pissed off."
It was such an obvious double act, but Ying Wusan didn't expose it. The emperor had to let Madam Bai do what she wanted. What right did he have to speak?
"I will report this to the Emperor."
If nothing unexpected happens, she can have another source of income.
Bai Zhiyue waved her hand and sent the person away, then called Yan Dong
"Although the celebration for Marquis Anding's first birthday cannot be grand, we still need to invite some people. Please arrange the staffing in the palace.
I'll give you the list later. You can modify the dishes slightly according to the specifications of the previous mansion and add a few more dishes that the children like.
For dim sum, we use Caixiangzhai. Although it's not as well-known as Guanchunyuan, it has new varieties and a richer flavor. It's suitable for all ages and is sure to be loved by everyone. Maybe it will even become famous."
"Yes, Madam, you have thought it through. Although the dishes in the past were very expensive, few of them were customized according to the crowd. Madam's ideas will definitely be appreciated by the nobles.
The lady had never been to see the dim sum in Caixiangzhai very often, so she didn't know that since it opened, the dim sum in the shop had never been sold out due to the publicity from the Princess's Mansion, the Prince of Qi's Mansion, the wife of the Marquis of Zhengbei, and the Cui family.
The shop's reputation has been growing steadily over the past few days, and every household has arranged for servants to line up early every morning just to have a bite of the shop's cakes, especially those with cream, which are sold out as soon as they come out of the oven. They are especially popular among young men and women."
He knew so much about it because, firstly, he often went out and heard people talking about Caixiangzhai's cakes on the street. Secondly, Ma Dong mentioned this to him many times. After waiting in line several times and failing to buy any, he came to him to try to get in through the back door and begged for help to buy some.
Bai Zhiyue didn't care about it after Caixiangzhai opened. Anyway, the production method had been taught, and the shop had also established strict hygiene standards. The staff were all purchased and were also told not to leak the production method and proportions, so she was very relieved.
I knew that the unique dim sum would be popular, but I didn’t expect it to be so popular so quickly. It was only open for less than a month.
This was thanks to her having the farm with sloping land purchase sixteen dairy cows. Only grass that the cows liked was grown on the sloping land, and no crops were grown, so there was a large amount of milk for the snack shop to use.
The excess will be used to make cream, cheese, milk bars, candies, etc., but it is purely handmade and labor-intensive, so they are also sold in pastry shops. I believe that once they are promoted, sales will be considerable.
"Since it's so popular, let them close the shop for the day and only use what they make for the family. The extra ones will be used as return gifts. The assortment must be complete and the products must be exquisite."
"Yes, I will go and tell them to make arrangements early."
"Mother~"
Doudou can speak now, but he only says a few words in front of others. When he is alone, he no longer needs to rely on consciousness to communicate, he can do it completely through language.
The funny thing is that when I first called Bai Zhiyue, I called her "Mom"
I don't know what touched her nerve at that time, but she left him on the bed and ran out. She wiped her tears outside alone before running back as if nothing had happened.
Doudou didn't expose her. They both acted as if nothing had happened and let it pass. This was the first time she really spoke out, and after that, Doudou only called for her mother.
