The Emperor's Daughter Arrives: Upgrade to Fight Monsters and Find Husbands

Qingwu was quite proud to see that her mistress also agreed with her idea.

"Qingwu knew that the young lady would be back today, so he specially prepared the pastries early. I made them myself." Qingwu quickly climbed onto Jiutang's arm, "Let's go, young lady. It's been a while since we've had it. It will be ready at noon."

"Okay." Jiutang's mind was working fast, and he didn't have time to think about it carefully when he heard Qingwu say that. He had to put the thought aside for the time being.

When they arrived at Qingwu's small house, Qingwu gently opened the door and led Jiutang into the yard. In the yard was a large tank with several spirit fish swimming in it.

Qingwu was particularly active because she was eager to let Jiutang taste what she made. She jumped to open the door of the yard, ran into the house, pulled out a chair and put it in front of the round table: "Miss, please wait a moment, the cakes are in the inner room, I will go get them for you now."

Before the echo of Qingwu's words completely faded in Jiutang's ears, he had already appeared in front of Jiutang again.

With a crisp bang, Jiutang saw a white jade-colored high-footed plate with a hint of light pink in the center. Twelve square, soft and glutinous pastries were neatly stacked on it.

"Miss, try it, how is it?" Qingwu pushed the plate towards Jiutang, and sat opposite Jiutang, lying on the table, looking at Jiutang with shining eyes.

Jiutang picked up a small piece and slowly put it into his mouth.

The outermost layer of the pastry is a layer of rice flour, wrapped in a mixture of vegetable juice ground into a paste. The small piece in the center is made of spirit fish meat. Although the fish meat is only half-cooked, it does not have a fishy smell. It melts in your mouth and lingers on the tip of your tongue with a unique flavor.

"Miss, how about it? This is made with the spirit fish I raised. How does it compare to the one we had in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Qingwu blinked at Jiutang.

Jiutang ate a piece of cake and felt a little confused. She was not the original Jiutang. In the little memory of the original owner, there was no memory of the taste of this cake, so she naturally had no way to compare it.

Jiutang nodded savorfully under Qingwu's expectant gaze: "The taste... is even better than it was then." Although she did not remember the original taste.

"That's right, this is made with the spirit fish I have raised for a very, very long time." Hearing Jiutang's praise, Qingwu pursed his lips and smiled, and emphasized it again.

Watching Jiutang eating the cakes in small bites, Qingwu seemed to recall something and said softly in a nostalgic tone:

"I still remember that it was the day of the young lady's twelfth birthday. I had wanted to trade my embroidery for some delicious food, but I was unlucky. I was discovered just as I was about to sneak out of the house. I happened to meet the eldest young lady coming back from outside. She was in a bad mood at that time. When she saw me, she was very angry and destroyed my embroidery. She rushed into the courtyard and beat us both up..."

Qingwu's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help choking up when she thought of the past:

"The young lady hadn't had a good meal for a long time at that time. She was weak to begin with, so how could she bear it? Qingwu was useless and couldn't protect the young lady. I had no choice but to give the jade pendant to the young lady, and then they stopped..."

Jiutang thought about it for a long time. Perhaps because he had been beaten so many times, he had no memory of this incident in his mind.

"Wait, your jade pendant is still in Jiushuang's hand?" Jiutang suddenly came to his senses and asked slowly.

"Yes, that thing was given to the young lady, how could we take it back?" Qing Wu nodded: "The young lady was almost dying at that time, how could I care about anything else. But after accepting my jade pendant, the young lady seemed to be in a better mood. At my request, she even asked the kitchen to give us a fish. So I used the fish to make this fish powder cake..."

Jiutang rubbed his brows, feeling a little headache. The original owner's memory was a mess, and this part really didn't exist, otherwise she would have taken Qingwu's jade pendant back from Jiushuang at that time.

"Where did your jade pendant come from? It must be very important to you." Jiutang thought so. Qingwu has been loyal to her since he followed her. If the jade pendant was not important, Qingwu would have pawned it for food and clothing long ago.

Qing Wu nodded: "Yes. This jade pendant has been with me since I was born. I always think that it might be a thought left to me by my parents. Maybe... they encountered some difficulties at that time, and they didn't really abandon me. They left the jade pendant to me as a thought. Maybe I can find its origin through it."

Qing Wu said with a hint of relief: "However, being able to exchange it for a fish so that the young lady could have a delicious meal on her birthday can be considered as making use of its purpose."

Qing Wu raised his head and took a deep breath, making himself look less sad and depressed, with a smile on his face: "If you like it, Qing Wu will make it for you every day in the future. The ingredients here are much better than before!"

Jiutang smiled and asked while eating, "Do you still remember what the jade pendant looked like?"

Every noble family has its own totem style. Perhaps we can judge the family related to Qingwu based on the appearance of the totem on the jade pendant.

Although the Yun family had already appeared, Qingwu had seen the Yun family's pattern at that time, but there was no fluctuation. It was different from the pattern on the jade pendant. That meant that the family involved with Qingwu was not the Yun family.

The Yun family might just be a pawn of the person behind the scenes.

Qing Wu thought for a moment and said, "That jade pendant is a plain peace locket style, and it looks ordinary. But... I remember one time, I pricked my finger while doing embroidery, and blood fell into the jade pendant, and a small snowflake pattern actually appeared inside it."

“It’s roughly like this.”

As he spoke, Qingwu poured some water from the teacup beside him onto the table, dipped his fingers in the water, and while thinking, he drew an extremely simple snowflake pattern on the table.

"I can only draw a rough outline. The pattern looks simple, but the corner structure is quite delicate." Qingwu said.

Jiutang looked at the pattern and said, "Qingwu, don't you think this looks familiar?"

Qingwu tapped the table with his fingers. After hearing what Jiutang said, he leaned in to take a closer look. After a long while, he answered firmly, "I think... it's quite common. Snowflakes are mostly like this. Miss, maybe you have seen it on a window sticker somewhere."

Jiutang took out a piece of paper and drew a pattern on it, then said thoughtfully: "What you said is really a coincidence. The pattern of snowflakes appeared in your jade pendant, and you happen to have a rare ice talent. This..."

Most of the spiritual root's innate attributes come from family inheritance. Combined with the snowflake pattern on this jade pendant, Qingwu's ice attribute spiritual root talent is probably also inherited.

In this case, we must find out which families in Liang and Zhong have inherited the ice talent. After all, ice talent is a rare talent, and the possessors are extremely rare.

"You should eat more too." Jiutang put down the pen in his hand while thinking, and pushed the tray towards Qingwu. "Look at you, we have been out of the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many days, and you haven't gained any weight."

"Really?" Hearing Jiutang say this, Qingwu sat up straight, a little unbelievable, "Maybe it's because practicing takes too much energy. I eat a lot every day, so how come I haven't gained weight?"

"Okay, okay, Miss Qingwu, you've worked hard in your training. Come and eat."

Qing Wu hesitated: "Miss...I can't accept that."

"You obviously made it, and now I can taste it, so I have to share it with you. Eat it quickly."

"Miss, you are so kind." Qingwu's eyes were full of tears.

After finishing the cake, Qingwu reluctantly let go of Jiutang's arm at Jiutang's strong request and went to sleep on the big bed.

Jiutang exhaled. She was now extremely awake and not sleepy at all.

After thinking about it, he quickly dived into Hongmengtian.

After entering Hongmengtian, several animals immediately rubbed against Jiutang's legs affectionately.

"Tangtang. It's hard for you to still be thinking about me." Huai Yin said with a sad face, "Let me see what good things you brought me."

Jiutang curled his lips and smiled: "You have a very good nose. Here, this is for you."

As he spoke, he threw a jade pendant to Huai Yin. It was warm and elegant, and it was obvious that it was of extraordinary quality. It was the one Xi Yang had lent out after losing the game.

The jade block went towards Huai Yin's original tree and slowly floated above the tree.

The jade exuded a lustrous luster, and the halo slowly expanded until it slowly enveloped the tree. The Huaiyin sapling was bathed in this light, and its trunk miraculously grew two points thicker, and its leaves gradually turned green, shaking like the eyelashes of a newborn baby.

"Just use it for now, and I'll get you a better one later." Jiutang said confidently.
