Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"Ok!"

Seeing the person coming, Ye Fan nodded slightly, with no expression on his face, but he was very alert in his heart, because Su Qingying was extremely powerful, and he was not sure why the other party wanted to call him here.

Su Qingying did not continue talking, but looked at Ye Fan quietly. Yu Youwei also did not say a word, and looked at Ye Fan quietly like Su Qingying.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the cold palace became somewhat depressing...

"Did you make the mooncakes that Youwei ate?"

After a long while, when Ye Fan's forehead was slightly sweaty, Su Qingying finally spoke.

"The kind you gave me to eat when we were in Jiangzhou City!"

Yu Youwei took up the conversation at the right time.

"Yes!"

Ye Fan said truthfully.

"Then do it on the spot~!"

As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, Su Qingying spoke again.

"Uh... I don't have the ingredients to make mooncakes right now!~"

Hearing this, Ye Fan spread his hands helplessly.

Su Qingying did not reply. There was a flash of light in her hand, and seven or eight packages appeared on the round table next to the dressing table.

"Take a look, are these the ingredients you need to make mooncakes?"

Under Ye Fan's inquiring gaze, Su Qingying spoke again.

"it is good!"

Ye Fan nodded, strode forward, and unpacked the package on the table. The unique aroma of various nuts and fabrics immediately wafted out.

"this………"

After opening all the packages, Ye Fan couldn't help but be surprised, because the seven or eight packages that Su Qingying took out were all ingredients for making mooncakes, and they were very authentic.

"These ingredients... are indeed like this... but there is one key thing missing, which is also the most difficult to prepare, fruit wine... I picked a lot of flowers last time to make jelly!"

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

Hearing this, Su Qingying and Yu Youwei looked at each other, and their originally serious expressions relaxed a lot.

Immediately, light flashed on Su Qingying's hand again, and a rather large wine jar appeared on the table in front of Ye Fan.

"It contains Baihua Niang. Please make mooncakes on the spot!"

Having said that, Su Qingying sat directly on the only wooden chair in the room, while Yu Youwei stood beside her.

Ye Fan frowned, glanced at the dark night sky, and got busy.

..........

After more than an hour,

Ye Fan finally stopped what he was doing. There was a layer of sweat on his forehead, and his clothes were covered with a lot of flour. The whole room was filled with a strange fragrance.

"It will take some time for these mooncakes to come out of the oven!"

Ye Fan glanced at the blazing fire in the stove, then turned to look at Su Qingying, "You asked me to come here not just to ask me to make mooncakes for you, right?"

"I...I want to wait until I eat the mooncakes you made!"

Su Qingying paused and replied.

“Okay….Okay!”

The corner of Ye Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

After that, Su Qingying and Yu Youwei ignored Ye Fan and stood by the stove, staring at him expectantly and adding firewood from time to time. This scene made Ye Fan have a lot of questions in his mind...

...........

Half an hour later, the steaming hot mooncakes finally came out of the oven. Su Qingying and Yu Youwei ignored Ye Fan's warning to "be careful of the heat" and reached out to grab a piece. They were burned by the mooncakes immediately. They screamed, touched their earlobes with their hands, then broke off a piece of mooncake and started eating...

“Qingying, it is indeed the same mooncake we ate before!”

"There's no mistake, this is the taste!"

“Mmm, the taste of home!”

"Qingying, but it's a little different from my childhood memory~"

"You didn't eat it right out of the oven, so it's normal for there to be slight differences~"

"Indeed, and I haven't eaten it for many years!"

.........

Because the temperature inside the mooncakes was higher than the surface when they were just out of the oven, Su Qingying and Yu Youwei were so burned that they gasped and even stuck out their tongues when they ate them...

"Uh, that...mooncakes are very hot and hard when they are just out of the oven. They usually taste good after they are cooled overnight~"

As soon as Ye Fan said this, Su Qingying and Yu Youwei immediately stopped what they were doing. The two girls' faces were red, and it was unclear whether it was because they were shy or because they were burned by the mooncakes. Su Qingying, in particular, took a big bite, but the mooncake was very hard and could not be chewed quickly, which made one of her cheeks bulge, and she looked a little silly...

"I want you to take care of it!"

As if she had noticed this, Su Qingying, who had a cold temperament, blushed even redder. She muttered something unclearly, turned her back, and after a burst of dense "clucking" sounds, Su Qingying turned around.

At this moment, Su Qingying returned to her previous cold appearance. She said to Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, do you know what this mooncake means?"

“What does mooncake mean?”

Ye Fan frowned slightly, "Eat? This mooncake... is also called Mid-Autumn Cake. It is eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It represents family reunion?"

"anything else?"

Su Qingying also frowned.

"And... Oh, by the way, I heard that making and eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival might make people think that you are related to the royal family of the previous dynasty... It might bring disaster..."

"There is really nothing else..."

Ye Fan scratched his head, recalling what he had seen and heard when he was making mooncakes in Jiangzhou City.

"You...you can make such authentic mooncakes. Don't you know what mooncakes mean?"

Hearing this, Yu Youwei looked at Ye Fan in surprise.

Ye Fan shook his head decisively. "This mooncake was made by the old man who grew melons during the Mid-Autumn Festival when I was a child. We often ate it with tea while watching the moon on Mid-Autumn night... I have never heard of any special meaning of this mooncake?"

"this………"

Hearing this, Su Qingying and Yu Youwei looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

"Ye Fan...Have you heard of an organization called 'Ancient Gods'?"

Su Qingying took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Ancient Gods? What is that? Never heard of it?"

Ye Fan asked a series of questions.

Looking at Ye Fan's puzzled and puzzled expression, Su Qingying and Yu Youwei both looked as if they had seen a ghost.

After the two women stared at Ye Fan quietly for a long time, Su Qingying slowly said, "The Ancient Gods are a mysterious organization that has existed for more than 800 years. They have existed since the founding of the Mingyuan Dynasty... and this organization has always been regarded as a thorn in the side by the Mingyuan royal family... They can't wait to get rid of it..."

"The Ancient Gods organization... their members love to eat mooncakes... to be more precise, the mooncakes you just made... and it is said that they also choose to eat mooncakes and appreciate the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival that represents family reunion..."

"Everyone thinks that mooncakes or Mid-Autumn Festival cakes are related to the royal family of the previous dynasty... Only people from the royal family of the previous dynasty would be obsessed with eating mooncakes... Therefore, many people are afraid of mooncakes, fearing that they would be considered treasonous because of the slightest connection between mooncakes and the royal family of the previous dynasty... In fact, the real reason is that mooncakes are related to the descendants of the ancient gods..."

Su Qingying paused for a moment, then looked at Ye Fan and sighed, "Ye Fan, I just thought that after I talked a lot about mooncakes, you would first mention the Ancient Gods organization!"

At this time, Yu Youwei continued, "Ye Fan, to be honest, when I was in Jiangzhou City, after eating the mooncakes you gave me, I even thought that you were a descendant of the nearly extinct ancient gods..."
