The Princess of Northern Land

The guests echoed.

"Light the candles." Lin Ziyin ordered Hongying.

"Yes, girl." Hongying agreed, took out a few colorful candles from the wooden box and lit them, six in total.

"Old Madam, please close your eyes and make a wish." A group of young girls and wives kept urging Madam Li out of curiosity, completely forgetting their reserve and identity.

For a time, the scene was very lively.

Lin Ziyin looked at the old lady who was seriously making a wish with her eyes closed, and then looked at the six lit candles, feeling a lot in her heart. It turns out that the old lady is only sixty years old, but her life has almost come to an end. No wonder people often say that people in their seventies have been rare since ancient times.

The old lady encountered a heavy snowstorm on her way to the North, and her carriage overturned. It was only after a narrow escape that I came to the Northland. The life was saved, but the severe root causes of the disease were left behind in that heavy snowstorm. If it hadn't been for Master Huizhen of Ding'an Temple and their efforts in treating her over the years, I'm afraid she would have passed away long ago.

However, the old lady didn't know that she didn't have long to live. Even the other people in the Hou Mansion didn't know this secret.

Seeing that kind smiling face in the candlelight, Lin Ziyin felt slightly sad.

Chu Suifeng seemed to feel her frustration and stared at her through the crowd.

When Lin Ziyin saw that he was looking seriously, he was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he never dared to look at Chu Suifeng again.

The smile on Chu Suifeng's face became even thicker.

"Can we eat it?" Si Jinyu asked Lin Ziyin excitedly.

Lin Ziyin turned around and found that the old lady had finished her wish. So he quickly asked everyone to blow out the candles, and then personally cut off the first piece of cake and put it on a small plate and handed it to the old lady.

It is a crane singing loudly, which has a very good meaning.

The old lady smiled and took the first bite, "Okay, it smells good."

"We want it too." Some young ladies and daughters-in-law shouted.

So, Red Tassel and Pothos began to divide the cake.

The upper three floors were taken down and given to the men.

"It turns out to be a casing and can be removed freely." Luo Yan saw the tray and finally figured out the secret.

"tasty."

"It's so sweet, Miss Lin. Can pastry shops offer such delicious pastries in the future?"

"If there is, we will go to the store to buy it when my grandmother and parents celebrate their birthdays."

"No, I even want to buy it for my birthday."

…

Regardless of being reserved or caring about the men's table next door, the women's side became lively.

"Cake is very troublesome to make. Eggs and flour are simple. The most difficult thing to make is the layer of cream on top. And the control of the heat is also very strict. If you are not careful, you will overcook or undercook, so the shop is temporarily unable to do so. Push out the cake." Lin Ziyin explained apologetically.

Li Yanran looked at her with a sneer, "It's nonsense, only a devil can believe that this damn thing is difficult to do." Lin Ziyin must have said this deliberately in order to gain favor for herself in front of her grandmother.

"What a pity." Luo Yan shook his head and said while eating, "It seems that the princess plans to cook it just this time, and has no plans to cook it a second time. What a pity for this delicious food."

"Delicious." Mei Hanqing, General Luo and others did not like sweets, but after tasting the cake, they fell in love with this snack. This is because the cakes everyone got had unique flowers and patterns. It was simply It’s hard to bear to read.

Chu Suifeng was in a very good mood today. He kept smiling throughout the banquet. When officials and guests came to propose toasts, he basically accepted them with a smile.
