Chapter 345： Even better than the tribute from the Western Regions
Chapter 345 is better than the tribute from the Western Regions
Ye Qianning would rather look down on her and ridicule her for being old-fashioned?
That was something she had never tasted before, and her pastry was not even as good as the pastries at home.
Nan Xiang put down the pastry and looked at Ye Qianning. He pouted and stuck out his tongue to express that it was not delicious at all. The pastries at Pang Tuan's house were much better than this.
Ye Qianning met her eyes, put her little hand to her mouth and shushed.
In Loushan Academy, the girls' and boys' schools are not in the same school, and the enlightenment class and the secondary college class are far away, so they have never seen each other even in the academy.
But Nanxiang is her only friend here. How could she forget her if she has delicious food?
Usually, Luo Xuan would ask him to send a portion of the cakes brought by Luo Xuan to Nan Xiang, but this was all a little secret between them.
“Come on, come on, everyone, have a try.” The queen motioned to all the concubines to taste it.
She was the first to get the tribute that had just been paid from the Western Regions. Concubine Yuan Guifei and Concubine No. 1 had none, so naturally she wanted to show off.
All the concubines, Princess Changyang, Princess Helian, and Mrs. Zhan also picked up the cakes and started eating them.
“Yes, this is the first time I have eaten such delicious snacks.”
“Pleasant aroma, sweet but not greasy.”
“I heard that even if you have money, you can’t eat pastries from the Western Regions, and now you’ve benefited from the queen’s favor.”
The concubines are flattering.
Concubine Zhan has never liked sweets. Everyone in the harem knew that the queen was not displeased when she saw that she was just drinking tea.
Concubine Yuan Guifei likes food from the Western Regions very much, and the taste of cakes is also very suitable to her taste. The emperor actually rewarded the queen with the tribute items at the birthday banquet a few days ago.
“It tastes bad.” Sang Qi took a bite and threw the pastry on the plate.
"A few days ago, I heard that the prince asked the imperial kitchen to make many kinds of pastries. I'm afraid he ate too much on weekdays and got tired of the taste, so he felt that Western pastries were not delicious." The queen only thought he was jealous.
She still knows a little about Concubine Yuan Gui’s favorite food.
“The Queen’s words are wrong. Pastries from the Western Regions are indeed unpalatable. This prince has eaten cakes that are ten times better than this.”
"Oh? I wonder what kind of pastry is better than the tribute from the Western Regions." The Queen raised her eyebrows in question. Sang Qi was silent and glanced at Ye Qianning silently.
Ye Qianning was also staring at him at this time, as if he was also confused.
Sang Qi stiffened his face, turned his head angrily and said, "Nian Yunjian."
“Nianyunjian? Where is that place?”
Sang Qi snorted coldly.
“Empress, Nianyunjian is a famous pastry shop in Kyoto, and the pastries they make are very popular.” Princess Changyang said.
“The pastries sold in private pastry shops are ten times more delicious than the pastries sold in the palace?” The queen didn’t believe it at all.
Princess Changyang couldn't say whether it was delicious or not. She was the queen on one side and the prince on the other. She smiled lightly: "Personal tastes are different."
“So I want to try it too. Grandma Zhang will ask people to go out and buy some Nianyunjian cakes tomorrow.”
"yes."
“Bring a portion to His Highness the Crown Prince. It can be seen that the Crown Prince likes Nian Yunjian’s cakes very much,” the Queen said.
"yes."
Sang Qi’s bulging little face, who likes to read about Yunjian.
Concubine Yuan Gui frowned. She was always polite when praying to her children, but why was she so ignorant today.
It was really shameful to argue with Ye Qianning in front of everyone about food instead of quarreling with Ye Qianning in public.
"Cui Xin, brew a pot of spring tea brought by me, and give it to the Queen, all the queens and princesses to taste." Concubine Yuan Gui ordered.
“Yes.” Cuixin stepped back.
“Chunyi tea is a good thing.”
“The queen has brought out all the pastries as tribute from the Western Regions. My sister has good things and she cannot hide them away.”
