The fake imperial concubine was spoiled by the Six Palaces

Chapter 139 Ask for advice

Li Mingzhu put down the brush, looked at Rong Shuyi with a smile, "There's no need to be polite, Shuyi is here, but what's the matter?"

"Reporting to the empress, the concubine came here today to ask the empress for advice." Rong Shuyi said, and asked the maid to bring the food box in front of the empress, opened it, and brought out the pine nut lily crisps inside.

Li Mingzhu's eyes fell on the pine nut lily cake.

Rong Shuyi smiled and said: "This concubine made pine nuts and lily cakes. I heard that the empress is a good cook, especially good at making dim sum. This concubine wants to ask the empress for advice."

"Oh?" Li Mingzhu's eyes flashed with surprise, "Sister Rong can make pastries?"

Previously, Li Mingzhu had never heard that Rong Shuyi was good at cooking, so she couldn't help but take a few extra glances at the delicate lily-shaped pastries on the table.

Rong Shuyi said modestly, "The concubine likes to cook since she was a child, so she learned some superficial lessons from the mothers in the mansion. If the concubine does not do well, I ask the empress to forgive me."

Li Mingzhu cleaned her hands with a wet handkerchief, "My sister is humble."

Rong Shuyi had a gentle smile and a gentle tone, "Please, Madam, have a taste."

After Mammy tested the poison with silver needles, Li Mingzhu slowly picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, chewing it carefully.

In fact, she didn't like to eat these sweet and greasy pastries, but Rong Shuyi invited her so kindly, and Li Mingzhu also wanted to try her craft, so she reluctantly ate a piece.

The entrance is soft and crispy, and the taste is excellent. Although it is not as good as the imperial pastry in the palace, it has a unique taste.

This is the first time she has eaten pine nut lily cake, and it tastes really good.

"This pastry is very delicate, my sister's craftsmanship is good." Li Mingzhu praised sincerely.

However, Li Mingzhu only ate half a piece, and then stopped, feeling a little tired.

Rong Shuyi smiled and said: "The empress is ridiculously praised. The concubine only knows a little bit about superficiality. Compared with the empress's craftsmanship, it is really not worth mentioning."

Li Mingzhu took a sip of tea.

Rong Shuyi talked about other things, and asked Li Mingzhu cautiously, "Major, can I make pastries with you in the future? I want to learn how to make more desserts from Madam."

She looks very studious, as if she has a strong interest in making pastries.

Li Mingzhu put down the teacup, rubbed the rim of the cup with her thumb, pondered for a moment, and then said: "If my sister is not too tired, I am naturally willing to teach my sister."

It means agreed.

When Rong Shuyi heard the words, she was overjoyed immediately, she quickly stood up, knelt down and said, "My concubine thanks the empress for her kindness."

Li Mingzhu smiled and waved, "Sister, get up quickly."

Rong Shuyi just sat down.

The personal maid came over and said that it was time to pass on the meal.

Rong Shuyi knew the times, so she stood up immediately, "The concubine will not disturb the empress for her meal."

Li Mingzhu nodded.

Watching Rong Shuyi leave the dormitory, the mother at the side said with disdain: "Your Majesty is so kind-hearted that she even agreed with Rong Shuyi to make cakes together. What if something is mixed into the cakes?"

Li Mingzhu raised her head and glanced at the nanny, "I have my own measure, if she wants something from me, naturally she won't harm me."

"But Rong Shuyi is too greedy." Before, she begged the empress to let her go to the autumn hunt, but the empress agreed when she saw her crying pitifully.

Now I want to learn how to make cakes from my empress, but I don't know what to do, how can my empress agree?

"She is a smart person, and she knows what to do. I hope she can stay so smart forever."

Compared to Lin Zhaoyi, Li Mingzhu still likes Rong Shuyi more.

Mammy stopped talking and went down to deliver the meal.
