Adorable Food Goddess

Secret room? Why build a secret room? To hide radishes? Xia Chunyu joked.

Ye Jiayao glared at him: Take it to hide you.

The smile in Xia Chunyu's eyes grew stronger: I heard that a golden house hides a beautiful woman. How about you create a secret room to hide your husband? Is your husband so shameless?

Ye Jiayao said bitterly: I'm not kidding you, I want a secret room anyway, and only the two of us know how to enter this secret room.

Maybe it's because she lacks a sense of security in this world and always hopes that no matter where she is, there is a place where she can hide safely and have a way out.

Seeing that she was serious about what she said, Xia Chunyu followed suit: Okay, you can fix it as you say. Do you want Uncle Jiang to design a few mechanisms? It will be more reliable.

Ye Jiayao's eyebrows were filled with joy: Okay, okay, that's the best.

Xia Chunyu's head was full of black lines. He was joking, but she took it seriously.

In the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, Liuli's eyes were gloomy: Have the Second Young Mistress and the Crown Prince gone to the farm?

Yes, it is said that there are affairs over there that need to be taken care of, and the prince happens to be on vacation. I think that taking care of affairs is an excuse, and going to the farm to relax is the real thing. Xiaoya said.

How many days of vacation do you have left, Your Majesty?

There are seven days in total, and there are only five days left!

Liuli gritted her teeth: Do they still want to stay there for five days? Madam doesn't care?

Xiaoya said: With the support of the Crown Prince, what can Madam say? The one whom Madam loves the most is the Crown Prince.

Liuli snorted coldly: If he doesn't come back, I will always find a way to get her back.

Today is the third day of smoking moxa. Dr. Li said that there is no improvement at all. The situation is getting worse and worse. The fetus in the belly has not moved for half a month. Taking medicine is useless. It seems that smoking moxa is useless. It was irreversible and couldn't be delayed any longer. It would be useless to her health to delay it any longer.

Thinking of the child, Liuli felt sad, and Dr. Li still hadn't figured out what went wrong and why it happened.

There was an accident this time, what about next time? Will tragedy happen again? Liuli was filled with fear.

Ye Jiayao didn't want to go back when she stayed at the farm. Here, it was like staying in a paradise, and the hustle and bustle of the world seemed to be far away from her. Every day, she and Chun Yu went horse riding, fishing, and got some delicious food. I went to the Peony Garden not far away and did some exercise in the evening to enhance the relationship between husband and wife. Not to mention how nourishing it was.

Today is already her third day at the farm. Under Chunyu's anxious urging, Ye Jiayao is ready to try making flower cakes.

She taught Zhong Xiang a lot, and Zhong Xiang also taught her his pastry skills.

The rose sauce is ready, now it’s time to knead the oily skin.

Mix the flour with water soaked in fresh rose petals so that the dough will have the aroma of roses. Add butter and a certain amount of sugar and knead it evenly. Cover it with gauze and let it rise for more than half an hour.

Next, knead the oily skin. No water is added to the oily skin, just use butter to knead it. It also takes half an hour.

After the hair is done, wrap the oil skin with water and oil skin, knead it firmly and roll it into a circle to make thirty dough balls. Then roll the dough into strips, roll it up and roll it out again. After repeating it several times, continue to hair style.

Mix rose sauce and cooked glutinous rice flour, season well and mix well.

Xia Chunyu sat aside and watched her do it with great interest. Xiangtao and others watched and memorized it. Such an opportunity was rare.

Finally, roll the strip of dough into a round dough, add the rose filling and shape it into a cake shape.

Xia Chunyu's hands felt itchy, so he rubbed one of them and found that it was not bad. He was very pleased with himself and praised himself for his talent.

Ye Jiayao laughed and said: Why don't you live with your husband and your wife? You should stop being a bodyguard and learn how to cook with me.

Xia Chunyu shook his head and said, No, no, I'm just doing this for fun. If I were to learn cooking, I would definitely be far better than you. That would dampen your enthusiasm too much.

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but spat at him, you arrogant maniac.

Hey, hey, we are making food! Be careful not to spit in it. Xia Chunyu said with a smile.

I have no problem with your saliva, but Xiangtao Song Qi and the others are still waiting to eat it!

Ye Jiayao held up her flour-covered hands and waved her fist at him. You deserve a beating. He is not afraid of being embarrassed at all when talking about saliva in front of the maid.

Song Qi was already used to it, with an indifferent look on his face. Xiangtao and the others couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud. Their shoulders were twitching, and it was extremely hard to endure.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Zhu Wang ran in in a hurry.

Xia Chunyu suppressed his smile and asked calmly: What's the matter?

Zhu Wang said: There is a guard outside who claims to be from the post house. He has something urgent to ask you.

Xia Chunyu frowned, a post house? To find this place unexpectedly, I'm afraid something big will happen.

Putting down the freshly made cakes, he said to Ye Jiayao, I'll go out and take a look.

After returning for a moment, Ye Jiayao saw his serious expression. Before she could ask what happened, Xia Chunyu said anxiously: Take care of yourself, we have to go back. Ah Ruan is in trouble.

ah? Are you going back now? Ye Jiayao quickly wiped her hands and pulled Chunyu out of the kitchen.

What's the trouble? What's wrong with Ah Ruan?

Xia Chunyu said: The third prince proposed to the emperor to marry Ah Ruan.

Ye Jiayao was stunned, why was it so sudden?

Did the Emperor agree?

Xia Chunyu shook his head and said: The emperor will eventually ask Ah Ruan about this matter, but the third prince is also considered outstanding. Since the third prince has this intention, the emperor will definitely be happy to facilitate it. Ah Ruan has already entered the palace this morning, and the queen When I asked her, she neither refused nor agreed, and was anxious to come back to us to discuss it.

There's nothing to be hesitant about. Just turn it back. Ye Jiayao also became anxious. She knew Aruan's thoughts well. Since she already has someone she likes in her heart, she should reject her decisively!

It's not that simple. Let's go back quickly!

Ye Jiayao did not dare to delay any longer. This involved Ah Ruan and Xiao Jing's lifelong happiness. Ah Ruan was in Jinling. As a best friend like her, she naturally had a duty to serve as Ah Ruan's guiding light.

Not caring about any flower cakes, Ye Jiayao asked Xiang Tao to put them away first. The group of people got into the carriage, and those on horseback quickly returned to the city and went straight to the post house.

Ah Ruan heard that Sister Yaoyao was coming and rushed out of the room, looking restless.

Sister Yaoyao, you're finally here, I'm so anxious.

Xia Chunyu first asked when they met: Where is He Lianjing?

Ah Ruan pouted and said, I haven't told him yet, he is at the Ministry of War.

Xia Chunyu ordered Song Qi: Go to the Ministry of War immediately to call Prince Jing.

Song Qi rushed to the Ministry of War to call for help without stopping.

Ye Jiayao and Ah Ruan went in, and everyone sat down and talked.

What did the Queen say? Ye Jiayao asked.

Ah Ruan frowned and said: The queen said a lot of good things to the third prince. Anyway, it sounds like it's best not to refuse this matter. I also asked Master Bumu, and Master Bumu meant that I'd better agree. .”

Bumu is the deputy envoy who came with Ah Ruan this time, and the principal envoy has already returned to South Vietnam to resume his duties.

Lord Bu Mu said this, and Ye Jiayao could understand that marrying a prince was definitely better than marrying a prince, not to mention that the third prince, who had performed well recently and was deeply loved by the emperor, would be more beneficial to stabilizing the relationship between Nanyue and Huaisong. But Ye Jiayao couldn't quite understand what the queen said.

The prince is the Queen's biological child. If the third prince marries Ah Ruan, with the support of the King of Nanyue, he will be even more powerful and have more capital to compete with the prince. What does the Queen think?

And the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother also wants me to marry the third prince! Ah Ruan said sadly. Although she likes Xiao Jing and wants to marry Xiao Jing, the matter involves the interests of both countries. She has not forgotten the mission of this trip, which is really embarrassing.

What about yourself? Ye Jiayao asked. Ah Ruan's position was the most important. Of course, she also knew that things were not that simple.

Ah Ruan lowered his head and said weakly: If I were willing, I wouldn't ask Sister Yaoyao to make decisions for me.

Xia Chunyu touched his chin with one hand and pondered.

Ye Jiayao understood. She felt that Chunyu should be very clear about the stakes in the court. She wanted to hear what Chunyu meant first.

Chunyu, what do you think we should do about this?

Xia Chunyu muttered: I don't think marrying the third prince is a good thing.

He couldn't speak too clearly, and he didn't dare to assert the unknown things in the future, but there was always a layer of hidden worry.

Ye Jiayao nodded: I think so too, it's just that it's not easy to deal with the Queen Mother and the Emperor's thoughts.

It's difficult to handle, but it's not difficult to handle. The key lies in the attitude of Prince Helian. Xia Chunyu hit the nail on the head.

In fact, as long as Xiao Guang gave his head and said that he wanted to marry Ah Ruan, and then asked the eldest princess to come forward, it would be said that the two children were already in love. With the power of the Helian Palace, the emperor would not be embarrassed. This was also the emperor's original intention.

Ah Ruan blushed. In fact, she came to them because she wanted them to tell Xiao Jing. She had already hinted it, but Xiao Jing was stupid and didn't respond at all. Did she still need to take the initiative to say, I want to marry? For you?

Ye Jiayao said: Don't worry, I will tell Xiao Jing when he comes.

Ah Ruan nodded shyly.

I thought, Xiao Jing should marry her!

He Lianjing was dragged to the post house by the impatient Song Qi.

What on earth is going on? I'm busy with official duties! Xiao Jing still didn't know about the third prince's proposal.

Song Qidao: My young prince, you should ask the prince! Anyway, the order I received is to call you here.

Xiao Jing cursed in his heart. In fact, he roughly guessed what Chunyu meant. He didn't want to bring him and Ah Ruan together, but he had already said that he needed time to think about it, and he hadn't thought about it clearly yet!

Besides, if you have anything to talk about, you can't talk anywhere else, you have to come to the post house.

Xiao Jing was reluctant and still had a bit of stage fright, but when he came, Song Qi blocked the door again and refused to let him out, so he had to come in.

Brother Chunyu, what do you want from me? Xiao Jing asked in dismay.

Xia Chunyu and Ye Jiayao exchanged glances. Xia Chunyu put his hand on Xiaojing's shoulder and said, Come here, I want to tell you something.
