603 The Moon 5
So, after the cakes were steamed, they were taken out of the pot and plated. Shen Lian didn't do much, and only made nine pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Now she picked up one of them and handed it to the chef.
The chef in charge lowered his head and saw that the osmanthus cake was complete in shape and uniform in thickness. It was yellow and white in color, with no spots or impurities. It was moist, soft and finely crumbled. It tasted sweet and delicious, with a strong fragrance of osmanthus. This was when he took a bite. The result of the tasting was that indeed, this plate of osmanthus cake was of the highest quality. Even if he made it himself, he might not be able to make a better plate of osmanthus cake than this one.
He didn't hide anything, he just replied truthfully. "Miss Mingyue's cakes are very well made. I think His Highness will like them." His Highness likes sweets, so I think Miss Mingyue must have known about it in advance.
After hearing what he said, Shen Lian did not hide anything and admitted openly. "Yes, I made it for His Highness to taste. I hope he likes it. Now that I hear you say this, Master, I feel more relieved. "Shen Lian picked up the plate of osmanthus cake and walked out. After she left, a man approached the chef and stared at the half piece of cake in his hand.
"Master, is this sweet-scented osmanthus cake really delicious? But it looks really good, and it also has a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus." The man looked at the pastry while commenting on the color and fragrance.
The head chef looked down at the half piece of pastry in his hand again, "It tastes great, sweet and delicious, and has a strong fragrance of osmanthus. If it were you, you would never be able to cook it at this level." It seems that this girl is quite thoughtful. As soon as Shen Lian left the kitchen, Shen Lian was worried that the pastries would be cold and unpalatable, so she walked quickly towards Xiao Qingyue's study.
He should be doing important things in the study at this time. She remembered that when she went to the study last time, she saw that there was good tea there. So, she planned to let him taste the sweet-scented osmanthus cake later, and then Make a pot of good tea for him in person in front of him.
Thinking this way, she felt happy, so she moved faster and faster. When she came to the door of the study, the gatekeeper saw that it was her and immediately let her go. Anyway, in the past few days, Miss Mingyue She comes here every day to talk or play chess with His Highness. Therefore, she has unimpeded access here.
Shen Lian smiled lightly at him, nodded and pushed the door in. Then she turned around and closed the door, then she turned and looked inside. When she looked at it, she realized that Xiao Qingyue was not behind the desk. Where was he? Shen Lian came to the desk and slowly placed the cake in her hand on the table. Then, she walked inside to find his person.
The person guarding the door just let her in, which proved that Xiao Qingyue must be inside. Otherwise, he would not let her in, or at least tell her that no one was inside. However, he did not, so there was only one As a result, Xiao Qingyue might be inside, so Shen Lian slowly walked inside.
When she walked around the screen and walked into the inner room, she was stunned for a long time. She didn't even react, and the person who was changing clothes inside stared at her blankly and didn't respond for a long time. After a while, Shen Lian finally reacted and immediately turned around to leave. However, after taking a few steps, she stopped again and turned her back to him.
"Your Highness, I didn't mean...to see you changing clothes. Just now, I actually...didn't see anything, really." Her last sentence was really, really... It was a cover-up. When she came in just now, she clearly saw everything. But now she said that she didn't see anything. It was not a cover-up.
Xiao Qingyue looked at him with interest in her eyes, and looked at her like this. "Really?" He asked back in a gentle tone, stopping Shen Lian. Yes, she had seen everything just now, but she It wasn't intentional. How did she know that he was changing clothes in the middle of the day? Moreover, the man guarding the door didn't tell her.
She came in directly. Although she took a look, it was not intentional. Now, what did he mean by this? Was he angry? Shen Lian made random guesses in her heart. At this moment, her back was turned to Xiao. Qingyue didn't even see his expression. She really didn't know what kind of meaning his words contained.
She could only stand there in silence, with her back to him, without saying a word. Looking at her back, Xiao Qingyue continued to put on her clothes slowly. When she came in just now, he had just taken off his clothes. He was picking up a piece of clothing and putting it on. He had just put on one sleeve when he saw her standing there, staring at him in shock.
Xiao Qingyue subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her body. Fortunately, only her upper body was naked. However, it was enough to make the unmarried girl's face blush with embarrassment. Looking at her somewhat stiff back, she stood there, At every turn, there was a smile in Xiao Qingyue's eyes, and she waited until he put on his clothes lightly before slowly passing by her.
"Follow me yet."
After hearing his words, Shen Lian silently followed him, walking closely behind him. As soon as Xiao Qingyue came to the table, she saw the plate of osmanthus cake on the table. No need to ask, she must have brought it. Knowing that he likes sweet food, he finally knew how to care for him. At this time, he did not know that this sweet-scented osmanthus cake was made by Mingyue.
He casually picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it into his mouth. Shen Lian watched him swallow it and then asked: "Is this osmanthus cake delicious? It's my first time trying to make it. Do you think it tastes delicious?" satisfy?"
It was the first time she tried to make it. Xiao Qingyue looked at her for a moment. There was surprise and joy in his eyes. He looked at her for a long time before saying, "It tastes good. It was really made by you." Made?" He couldn't believe it. Could she even make pastries so delicious? Moreover, among the many pastries, his favorite was the sweet-scented osmanthus candy cake.
How did she know? Did she secretly inquire about his preferences? Why? Could it be because she also liked him? What she said before was true. Did she really like him? Suddenly, There were so many thoughts in his heart that it was difficult to calm down for a long time. As for Shen Lian, when he heard his words, he couldn't help but pursed his lips. "I made it myself. If you don't believe it, you can ask the chefs in the kitchen. They saw it with their own eyes." of."
"No, I just can't believe it. Okay, I believe you. This pastry is well made. I would like to thank you, okay?" This thank you is not sincere enough, it is really perfunctory.
After a while, Shen Lian walked straight to the place where the tea was stored. Seeing that she still didn't speak and walked to the cabinet over there without saying a word, Xiao Qingyue became a little uneasy. She was really angry. Yes, she kindly made this plate of cakes for him to eat. He actually suspected that she didn't make it. No wonder she was unhappy.
In Shen Lian's heart, she was only slightly unhappy. After all, this was just a trivial matter. However, she deliberately put on an angry attitude to show him off. She made him feel uneasy for a while as a punishment.
She opened the cabinet, took a look, then selected one and took it out. It was one of the famous Biluochun teas. It was good. Shen Lian nodded slightly and took it over. Opening the lid, she prepared to make him a pot of tea with her own hands. Xiao Qingyue saw her behavior and understood what she meant. She was making tea for herself, so she probably wasn't angry anymore.
So, he slowly sat down on the mahogany chair behind the desk. His eyes were staring at Mingyue without blinking, staring at her making tea for him. When a cup of tea was brought to his hand, Xiao Qingyue looked up He looked at her. Shen Lian just looked at the cup of tea, then looked at him, motioning for him to drink tea. Only then did Xiao Qingyue look at the cup of tea in her hand. It was green, clear, and fragrant.
"This is Biluochun, do you know anything about this tea?" Xiao Qingyue tasted the tea slowly while testing her.
Shen Lian couldn't help being stunned, and then immediately replied, "The cords are slender, curled into a snail, and covered with hair. They are silvery white and green, with a rich aroma and a fresh and sweet taste, so it is called Biluochun. The bottom of the leaves is bright green, The color of the soup is green and clear, and it is called tender and three delicacies. The tender refers to the buds and leaves, and the three delicacies refer to the color, aroma and taste. Am I wrong?"
Yes, it was indeed a thorough understanding. Xiao Qingyue nodded with satisfaction and drank the tea in the cup with a smile. The tea was silvery green, fragrant, cool and sweet in taste, fresh and refreshing, and had a long aftertaste.
Xiao Qingyue next took a sip of tea and ate a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. It was so delicious. Seeing that he was really satisfied, the corners of her lips were always raised, and there was a faint smile in her eyes. Shen Lian nodded proudly. Sure enough, she looked like this He likes the combination very much. Moreover, the tea and pastries are all made and brewed by her with her own hands, with full care.
She has been trying to make Xiao Qingyue like her a little more during these days. The deeper the relationship, the more likely it is that he will agree to take her with him to the battlefield before he goes off to war soon.
"Why do you want to please me like this?" She quietly learned about his preferences, then made cakes and tea with her own hands and gave them to him to taste. Seeing him eating and drinking, she was so happy. Xiao Qingyue's words , making Shen Lian a little confused. The reason, she had said before, she fell in love with him at first sight, so naturally she wanted to please him.
So, she thought so and said so. Faced with her blunt words, Xiao Qingyue was caught off guard and froze for a while, and a suspicious red color slowly appeared on her face. It was as if she was being The sunset in the evening was stained with red. Shen Lian was slightly surprised when he saw his face blushing. After a while, she stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed at his face.
"You're blushing, you're really blushing. Are you shy?" Faced with her teasing words, Xiao Qingyue coughed to cover up. Naturally, he would not admit that he was shy.
"I'm not, it's just a little hot." When Shen Lian heard this, she laughed out loud. Could it be hot in this weather? Xiao Qingyue understood her ridicule and couldn't help but become a little annoyed. He turned his head, He stopped looking at her to avoid being angry with her. However, he didn't know that the sight of him turning around was simply too cute in Shen Lian's eyes.
Yes, it was cute and a little arrogant. It really made her laugh harder and harder. After a while, she finally made herself stop and stopped laughing. In order to avoid going too far and irritating her.
