Lord Hou couldn't help laughing, "Of course it's the Longevity Day, and I will go to the palace for a banquet the day after tomorrow. Aren't you going to the pastry shop to prepare birthday cakes tomorrow and stay at the Hou Mansion at night?"

"Oh, I forgot!" Jiayin stared in surprise.

The past few days have been a bit too happy, and I have to make up my homework in the space at night, but I completely forgot such a big thing.

Master Hou took her hand, entered the house to salute Mrs. Li, and returned to his yard after a few simple instructions.

Mrs. Jia originally accompanied Mrs. Li to do needlework and gossip, seeing this, she guessed that Lord Hou would have lunch here, so she wanted to leave quickly with Baozhu.

Although Baozhu was half full, she couldn't bear the good news.

Jia Yin said: "Didn't you say that Wan'er's younger brother always wants to play in the clouds? I will stay in the shop for most of the day tomorrow, why don't you bring him to play?"

"Really, that's great!" Baozhu was easily coaxed into joy, Le Diandian bid farewell to her mother, and hurried to her uncle's house to tell her cousin the good news.

Wan'er put down the soup bowl and went back to Wen's house.

In this way, when the food was ready, Shui Ling invited Master Hou to come over.

My own family members don't have to avoid suspicion.

Even though Li's second brother and Li's fourth brother were not at home, Mrs. Li took the main seat, Tao Hongying and Wenjuan sat on one side, and Jiayin and Lord Hou sat on the other side, eating and chatting lively opened.

Mrs. Li was worried about her granddaughter being bullied when she entered the palace, but she did not hesitate to ask Lord Hou.

Master Hou was not too annoying, so he responded one by one, and finally made Mrs. Li feel embarrassed.

"Master Hou, don't blame me for nagging, it's Fu Niu'er who suffered a disadvantage in the palace last time, and the family is very distressed.

"If it weren't for the fact that the emperor treated Fu Niu'er really well, and she has the title of princess, the family really doesn't want her to enter the palace."

Lord Hou nodded and said: "Don't worry, auntie. I will take Fu Niuer to visit the emperor in the future, and then let the emperor send a eunuch to follow him to Shoukang Palace. Even if anyone has malice in his heart, he will not dare to embarrass Fu Niuer." .”

"Okay, this is the best." Old Madam Li replied, "Let Nanny He follow into the palace later, she was born in the palace, and she is more familiar with the rules of the palace than others."

Nanny He happened to be waiting on the side, and replied directly: "If the old lady doesn't say anything, the old slave will also ask for his life.

"But don't worry, the old lady, the princess has learned the rules very well. Now that she has recited and familiarized herself with the atlases of each family, she must be able to deal with even a little trouble."

After finishing speaking, she continued: "If the old lady is still not at ease, then let Shui Ling and Shui Yun follow along. This old slave just took this opportunity to gossip with the old sisters in the palace and hear about the past year and a half in the palace. If there are any taboos, let the Princess avoid it."

"Okay, since you are familiar with this matter, I will leave it to you to arrange it." Mrs. Li directly delegated the authority and said, "After a while, you can help me to see what dresses and jewelry Fu Niuer is wearing.

"After all, it's a palace banquet. Our family doesn't want to be high-profile, but it shouldn't be too shabby to be looked down upon."

"Yes, old lady." Nanny He replied with a smile.

With such an excuse, Master Hou returned home after dinner.

The door of Li's house was closed, and the old and young girls gathered together and started chattering.

A month ago, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion asked the embroidered lady in the mansion to prepare a new dress for the princess.

There are four sets and they are hanging in the closet.

Each set is carefully made by the embroiderer, and everyone is dazzled.

In the end, it was the old lady who made the decision, ordering a goose yellow brocade jacket with a slanted front, matching it with a fruit green pleated skirt and a pair of gold-embellished buckskin boots.

It would be perfect with a white fox fur cloak.

Because Jiayin is still young, it is not easy to wear too much jewelry, which is too ostentatious.

Therefore, it would be good to wear a golden hair ring inlaid with red coral and pearls on the head, and wear a red gold lock of auspicious Ruyi Liufu on the chest.

At the request of everyone, Jiayin put on all the clothes and jewelry, and even Mammy He combed her hair again quickly.

Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and the others looked at the fat girl from head to toe clearly, and felt relieved that she hadn't missed anything.

Jia.Model.Yin was tossed about for more than half an hour, and it was finally time to strike.

She lay on the kang and pretended to be dead, not even wanting to lift a finger.

Tao Hongying smiled and knocked on her daughter's head, and said angrily, "Don't be foolish! You just stretch out your hands to be a scarecrow, and the rest will be waited on, so you will be tired. It's fine at home, but you have to look good when you go out." .

"It's fine if you lose face. Our Li family comes from mud legs, and we are not afraid of people saying that the children have no rules. But you are going with Lord Hou this time, so you don't want to embarrass Lord Hou, understand?

"Master Hou earned his reputation by risking his life. You can't add credit to his face, and you absolutely can't discredit him!"

"Understood, mother!" Jiayin leaned on her mother's neck, acting coquettishly and obediently, "Oh, my mother is so sensible, no wonder she can teach me such a good girl!"

Tao Hongying was so teased that she couldn't stop laughing, she patted her daughter again, "Are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?!"

Everyone also laughed and chatted, and the subordinates were busy arranging clothes and jewelry.

The cold wind is howling outside, the night is dark, but the house is warm...

Early the next morning, Lord Hou took Jiayin into the carriage and went straight into the city.

Mr. Li and Mr. Wen have been very busy these days, and they didn't come back last night.

So, the carriage sent the good news to Baiyunjian, and Lord Hou went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

In the past two days, Chen Xi and shopkeeper Peng hoped that the owner's eyeballs would be delivered to the gate of the city.

After finally seeing their boss, they rushed forward to ask questions.

Speaking of which, they had made small cakes before and sent them to the emperor, but the birthday cake they were going to prepare this time was different.

Six floors, a full six floors!

Chen Xiguang's design drawings have only been drawn in seven or eight editions!

Jiayin actually doesn't care about the pattern and meaning of the cake, because any version is sure to be festive.

She is more worried about safety issues.

Such a big cake, Uncle Huang must be happy to see it, so naturally he will share it with the people at the banquet.

If something goes wrong with eating, that would be a bad thing.

In fact, the best way to avoid trouble is not to send such imported things as cakes.

It's a pity that Baiyunjian is so famous, and the birthday cake has become so popular that everyone knows it.

It's unreasonable not to put one on the table for the emperor's big boss to celebrate his birthday!

Fortunately, she has room for this cheating artifact!

The front yard of the small courtyard is a static space. Whatever you put in, it will be the same when you take it out.

Jiayin thought for a while and said, "Master Chen, you should make two six-layer cakes to practice first. Of course, the materials are rare, so it's better to make them better. Let's see the effect first.

"If there is no problem, I will do the same when I wake up tomorrow morning, and then send it directly to the palace."

"Yes, my boss." Chen Xi quickly responded.

Jiayin then told shopkeeper Peng, "That's all for today, but the ingredients that will be used tomorrow morning must be strictly checked, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise everyone will lose their heads!

"The masters and fellows in the yard are not allowed to leave the shop tonight. They will resume walking after the cake is delivered to the palace tomorrow."

"Yes, don't worry, my boss, I can save it. I didn't let everyone go home yesterday, and they have been in the shop all the time."

Shopkeeper Peng was originally a royal servant, but he had heard too many disasters caused by eating food.

So, ever since he knew that his shop was going to send a birthday cake to the palace, he has been very energetic...
