Although Sun Miaoqing asked her to prepare a plate of pastries, it was a gift to the emperor after all, and Liuli did not dare to deal with it.
Let the small kitchen carefully prepare a plate of lotus cake. After frying, use paper to absorb the excess fat on the surface.
Then according to Sun Miaoqing's instructions, garnish the candied fruit made of a cherry on top of the stuffed pastry.
It's both beautiful and delicious, just like her young master's affection for the emperor.
After putting it in a food box and arranging the sedan chair, Sun Miaoqing wrapped herself in a cloak made of pink Suzhou embroidered satin on the outside and snow-white rabbit fur on the inside.
Then he put on a pair of light yellow gloves embroidered with auspicious clouds. Inside the gloves was a small heater that was larger than a duck egg.
Even the inside of the shoes is covered with a thick layer of fur. After covering himself tightly, he went to the Yangxin Hall in a sedan chair.
Unexpectedly, Su Peisheng had people watching Chuxiu Palace early in the morning. Knowing that Sun Miaoqing was coming to Yangxin Palace, he immediately alerted Big Fat Orange.
"Your Majesty, someone from Chuxiu Palace said that Sir Cheng heard that the Emperor is busy with government affairs these days, so he specially prepared some snacks and wanted the Emperor to try them."
"People are already on the way now."
Big Fat Orange was very energetic and enthusiastic just now. When I heard that Sun Miaoqing was coming, thinking of her annoying temper, I suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
The whole person suddenly became depressed...
He hasn't lived enough yet and doesn't want to be pissed off at such a young age!
Big Fat Jue said, "I haven't been to Concubine Hua for two days. She is recovering from her illness, so I should pay more attention to her."
Su Peisheng said with a smile, "I will make arrangements now. I wonder how happy Concubine Hua will be if she knows that the emperor cares so much."
Thinking of Concubine Hua, a faint smile appeared on Big Fat Orange's lips.
If you don't look at Nian Gengyao and only look at Concubine Hua, he sincerely hopes to grow old together with Shilan like an ordinary couple and have a family full of children and grandchildren.
It's a pity that he is the emperor and cannot indulge in his children's affair. For the sake of the country and the country, he felt guilty towards Concubine Hua.
"Since she fell ill some time ago, her body looks much thinner than before. I have someone send her some blood swallows every day to replenish her body."
"My slave obeys your orders."

When Sun Miaoqing arrived at Yangxin Hall, the house was already empty, leaving Xiao Xiazi alone.
"A slave sees a sincere and noble person, and a sincere and noble person is lucky."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Standing outside with the cold wind blowing, Sun Miaoqing felt her face turning red and asked directly, "I heard that the emperor has been busy with government affairs these days and can't even take care of himself."
"So I specially asked someone to make some lotus cakes. I hope that the emperor can take half a day to taste the pastries to see if they suit his taste."
Xiao Xiazi said in embarrassment, "What a coincidence, noble sir, you came a little late today, and the emperor is not in the Yangxin Hall at the moment."
Liuli asked on behalf of Sun Miaoqing, "May I ask Eunuch Xia, where did the emperor go if he is not here?"
Xiao Xiazi said, "Dissatisfied with the noble man, the emperor went to Yikun Palace."
Sun Miaoqing asked, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Xiaoxiazi. Can you tell me how long the emperor has been here?"
Xiao Xiazi said, "Back to you, my lord, I think the emperor should be arriving at Yikun Palace soon."
Sun Miaoqing nodded, "Thank you, Eunuch Xiaoxiazi. Since the emperor is not here, I will go back first."
After saying that, Sun Miaoqing turned around and was about to leave. Xiao Xiazi said, "Noble man, please go slowly."
"By the way, this lotus cake... you can give it to your servant. When the emperor comes back, I will send it to you and explain your thoughts to the emperor."
Sun Miaoqing said, "I won't trouble my father-in-law anymore."
"The pastries in Concubine Hua's palace are the best. The most important thing about lotus cakes is to eat them fresh. The taste will be different when the emperor comes back."
The trip was in vain and the things she had prepared were wasted. Sun Miaoqing made another note in her notebook.
She didn't believe that Big Fat Orange could escape from the first grade of junior high school, but he could also escape from the fifteenth grade!

Yikun Palace
Concubine Hua put two spoonfuls of purple-red spices into the incense burner, and soon the palace was filled with the smell of Huanyi incense.
Songzhi's worried eyes couldn't be hidden no matter how hard she tried.
"My dear, the musk in this Huanyi incense is something that can cause great damage to a woman's body. Forget it I didn't know it before, but now that I know it, why do you still use so much of it every day?"
"It's better to quietly have someone remove the musk from it and mix it with a similar spice."
Concubine Hua said nonchalantly, "There's no need. If the emperor knows about it, it will cause harm."
"Besides, this thing only makes people infertile. There is no other harm. I have been using it for so many years and it has long been infertile. It doesn't matter if you use it more or less."
Songzhi advised, "There are also doctors with excellent medical skills outside the palace. There is always someone who can take good care of the queen's health..."
Concubine Hua said, "So what if it's done? The emperor is so cruel, it's not like I've never been pregnant before!"
"Even if I can give birth, he is not worthy at this moment."
Songzhi lowered her head in frustration. In fact, Concubine Hua was not the only one who felt uncomfortable. The maids serving in Yikun Palace also smelled the joyful fragrance every day.
It is better for her who is not ready to leave the palace. Those who are released when they reach an age have difficulty finding a good husband because of their age.
Coupled with the inability to have children, I don’t know how miserable the rest of my life will be...
Both the master and the servant cursed in their hearts, wishing they could rush to the Nourishing Heart Hall and cut the big fat orange into eight pieces in order to eliminate the hatred in their hearts.
After Zhou Ninghai finished his work, the first thing he did was to take the things to ask Concubine Hua for credit. Everyone else was guarding outside the palace, only Concubine Hua, Songzhi and him were inside.
After closing the door, Zhou Ninghai took out a white porcelain vase and handed it over. He knelt in front of Concubine Hua and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, it's done!"
"My slave is absolutely confident that this thing will make your wishes come true!"
Concubine Hua stared excitedly at the bottle in her hand, opened it, and found a small half bottle of white powder inside.
"Zhou Ninghai, are you sure this thing is as useful as it says?"
"It's absolutely true, and this thing is only effective for men and is not harmful to women."
"Just wait for the emperor to come over, put some medicinal powder in the food and drink, and quietly, the emperor will be no different from a slave."
