Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao immediately thought of Mu Yunge’s words, then smiled faintly at her and shook his head, saying, “There’s no need for Zi Ling to trouble herself to make pastries for me anymore. You can go back now.”
Zi Ling stiffened slightly upon hearing this, but still nodded: “Yes, I understand.”
Seeing her pale face, Zhou Hao then remembered that Mu Yunge had given her pastries to the servants.
He couldn’t help but explain on Mu Yunge’s behalf, “Xiao Jiu’er meant no harm. The pastries you made are delicious. Go back now.”
Zi Ling nodded and left with the food box.
Deep down, she felt a surge of resentment.
Her pastry-making skills were undoubtedly excellent; she simply couldn’t use those precious ingredients!
Otherwise, what she made would definitely be even more delicious than what the Ninth Princess brought!
However, as soon as this thought arose, Zi Ling’s eyes suddenly lit up!
That’s right!
Didn’t the Ninth Princess love pastries?
If she went to the Imperial Kitchen, wouldn’t things be much easier?
With this thought, Zi Ling instantly cheered up again.
As the heroine, Zi Ling’s excellent skills were quickly discovered by the pastry chefs in the imperial kitchen, and she was successfully transferred to the imperial kitchen to help with cooking in less than half a month.
Then, she made several pastries that were very popular in the later stages of the palace in her previous life, earning high praise from the pastry chefs.
Meanwhile, these pastries she made were quickly sent to various parts of the harem, becoming favorites among the concubines. Even the Emperor himself was quite fond of them.
…
At this moment, in front of Mu Yunge were several stacks of pastries shaped like cute rabbits and cats.
Clearly, these were made especially for her.
Thinking of Zi Ling’s cunning, Mu Yunge scoffed inwardly. This girl was determined to get close to her.
Since that’s the case, then she’ll grant her wish!
Looking at the incredibly cute pastries before her, Mu Yunge said with a troubled expression, “Mother, these pastries are so adorable. I can’t bear to eat them! What should I do?”
Hearing this, the Empress smiled and said, “If you like them, you can have them made again after you’ve eaten them. Try one first.”
Mu Yunge looked reluctant and then looked at Yan Fei, “Xiao Xi, I can’t bear to cut them. Can you help me?”
Yan Fei nodded immediately, then picked up a pastry knife and cut a rabbit-shaped pastry into pieces on a plate.
“Alright, please enjoy it, Your Majesty.” Yan Fei said.
Mu Yunge nodded and then opened her mouth.
Seeing this, Yan Fei immediately picked up a small piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.
A moment later, Mu Yunge’s eyes lit up, and she said, “Wow, this is so delicious! Mother, who made this pastry?”
Hearing this, the Empress couldn’t help but smile and say, “I’m glad you like it. I heard it was made by a new maid in the Imperial Kitchen. For Xiao Jiu’er to like it, her skills must be quite good.”
Mu Yunge immediately said, “Then I want her to come to Mother’s small kitchen! I want to eat it every day!”
“Good, good, good. Mother will transfer her over later.” The Empress said with a smile.
Mu Yunge immediately clapped her hands happily and then said, “Xiao Xi, I want more!”
…
The next day, Zi Ling was summoned to Weiyang Palace.
All the way, her heart pounded.
Has she succeeded?!
She had finally succeeded in getting close to the Ninth Princess!
But she didn’t know that there was a huge pit ahead, and she had to be careful when jumping into it.
