The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 204 Picking Plum Blossoms (1)

After Yang Qi put it away, Yuan Ruiyuan took a piece of cake and said, "The Queen Mother's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Yuan Yi nodded and agreed, "Your Majesty, your craftsmanship is unmatched in the entire Tianyuan Dynasty."

The children were all around her, talking to her with a smile. The Queen covered her mouth and smiled: "You are used to saying nice things, Yangqi, try it again."

As the Queen was speaking, Yuan Ruiyuan handed the plate to Yang Qi again.

Yuan Yi watched the two people passing the plate back and forth, looked at the other three plates of snacks on the table, and couldn't help but smile.

Yang Qi took the plate of cakes handed to him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

She put another piece of cake in her mouth. This time she chose a different flavor, the simplest egg cake, but the one made by the Queen was softer and full of milk flavor. Yang Qi smiled and nodded: "Delicious!" It was really delicious!

Before finishing the first one, Yang Qi stuffed another piece of cake into her mouth. However, she didn't expect that the egg cake was a bit big and it made Yang Qi's mouth a bit bulging.

Yuan Ruiyuan looked at Yang Qi's puffy mouth and couldn't help but laugh. Why is this girl's eating habits becoming more and more exaggerated?

The Queen Mother thought that Yang Qi would give a long speech of praise. According to the appearance of today's talented women, she would at least include a few lines of poetry to appear more noble. However, she never expected that Yang Qi would only say the simplest two words "delicious". However, this action proved the truthfulness of the child's words.

Yuan Ruiyuan took a teacup from the table, poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of Yang Qi: "Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."

Since His Royal Highness wanted to use him as a shield, Yang Qi had no room to refuse. He swallowed the cake in his mouth and drank a sip of tea: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Watching the interaction between the two, the Queen Mother coughed and said, "I'm going to make some plum blossom cakes in a few days. The plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom now. If you guys are free today, would you mind picking some plum blossoms for me?"

Yang Qi naturally had no questions and nodded quickly.

Yuan Yi was a perceptive child. She knew that her mother said this in order to let her brother and Yang Qi spend some time together, so she quickly said, "Mother, my foot was injured yesterday, and it hurts a little to walk now. Please trouble my brother and sister Yang Qi."

Yuan Ruiyuan had no problem with that: "Mother, let's go to the Imperial Garden now. We'll be back in time for lunch."

The Queen smiled and said, "The kitchen has prepared everything for lunch this morning. Yangqi, come back after lunch."

The Queen's words were absolute, and Yang Qi would not refute the Queen's kindness.

The small kitchen in the palace is naturally excellent, but I don’t know if there will be a lot of rules when the Queen has meals. I’ll have to be careful in dealing with them later.

Yuan Ruiyuan stood up, looked at Yang Qi and said, "Let's go."

Yang Qi didn't say much, but just followed the Crown Prince carefully.

Today, Yang Qi has put the "Art of War" given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his body, thinking about when he can return the book to His Royal Highness without being seen by others, as there are too many palace servants in the Qianqing Palace now.

But unexpectedly, there were always enough people in the palace, and there was a constant stream of palace maids and eunuchs paying their respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince along the way.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden and saw the scene in front of them, Yang Qi was truly shocked. He finally experienced what it meant to have a picturesque scenery and to be in a fairyland.

The Imperial Garden houses all the rare treasures of the Tianyuan Dynasty. Standing at every angle, it seems as if you can see a beautiful painting.

Except for people like Nanny Zhu who have been in the palace for many years, everyone is looking forward to being able to squeeze in here.

However, if one really enters the imperial palace, except for nobles like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how could ordinary palace maids have the mind and status to appreciate these picturesque scenery.

In this cannibalistic world, flowers are probably more valuable than people.

Putting aside all those sad thoughts, Yang Qi took a deep breath and appreciated the scene in front of him. This beautiful picture of plum blossoms is not something you can see every time.

I don't know if the Queen wants red plums or white plums. Red plums are gorgeous, while white plums are dignified and elegant. Let alone making plum blossom cakes, if you cut them, put them in a bottle, and put them in the house, it would be a pleasure to look at them.

The Duke of Song's Mansion also planted several plum trees. Every time they were in full bloom, Yang Qi would select the best ones and give them to Xu.

When Yang Qi was a child, she had to be carried by Nanny Zhu to pick plum blossoms for Xu because she was too short. Now, she can pick them by herself.

Yuan Ruiyuan didn't hear the footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Yang Qi looking up under the plum tree, looking very carefully: "Pick the ones you like."

Yang Qi looked back at the Crown Prince and smiled sweetly: "I wonder if the Queen made plum blossom cakes with red plums or white plums?"

Looking at Yang Qi's smile, Yuan Ruiyuan suddenly remembered the scene when they first met. He had to admit that this girl had indeed grown up in a few years!

The matter of her grandfather has always been on this girl's mind. Her first visit to the palace might be a breaking point for her.

Yuan Ruiyuan was originally worried that Yang Qi would be emotionally unstable, but he did not expect that this girl did a good job. However, he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable for a while after returning home.

Yang Qi saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not reply to her. Could it be that His Royal Highness did not know about this matter?

However, it is normal even if he does not know. His Highness probably would not be interested in the making of these pastries.

Since the Queen didn't say it clearly, does this mean that only one kind is acceptable? Or should we pick some of each kind and bring them back?

The trees in this imperial garden were all designed by a master who was good at layout. Yang Qi looked around, fearing that if he picked the flowers, it would destroy the original design of the imperial garden.

She was acting as the Queen Mother and was led by the Crown Prince, so no one would dare to cause trouble even if it was really destroyed. However, Yang Qi still wanted to preserve this beautiful scenery.

Yuan Ruiyuan saw Yang Qi running left and standing right. What was this girl looking at?

Walking to Yang Qi's side, Yuan Ruiyuan wanted to see what was so special about this angle: "Don't just stand there, the Queen Mother is still waiting for us."

After hearing this, Yang Qi no longer hesitated. Just as he was about to tiptoe to pick the flowers, Yuan Ruiyuan handed him a dagger: "Use this. If you do it directly, I'm afraid your hand will be hurt."

Aren't these ladies in the Tianyuan Dynasty very concerned about their hands and faces? Yuan Yi, that girl, could talk for a long time even if her hands were red.

Yang Qi took the dagger without hesitation, but found that the knife was much heavier than he had imagined, and he didn't know what material it was made of.

Seeing that there were fewer people around, Yang Qi took a step forward and approached His Highness.
