Chapter 458 Learning to Make Fruit Cake

When Xiao Li woke up the next day, she still felt that she was not energetic. Qin Jian walked in and carefully helped Xiao Li up: "Miss, is she still not energetic?"

Xiao Li nodded subconsciously, looked around, and couldn't help frowning, isn't he here?

Seeing Xiao Li's expression, Qin Jian seemed to know what Xiao Li meant, so he explained: "The prince went out of the city last night in a hurry."

Oh, Xiao Li nodded knowingly, and waved Qin Jian to go out.

"Miss, do you want to eat?"

Xiao Li waved her hand, with a weak face, "I'll sleep a little longer, and you will wake me up later."

Qin Jian looked worriedly at Xiao Li, who was in poor spirits. Miss might be seriously ill this time.

Quietly closing the door, Qin Jian thought, this is probably all she can do for the young lady.

On the other hand, Huangfu Haotian went out of the city in the middle of the night because Xiao Li wanted to eat Siqingzhai's sweet and sour fruit cake. Door.

It was a sleepy boy who opened the door. The sleepy boy was very annoyed by Huangfu Haotian, a customer who disturbed his sleep.

"Guest officer, our store hasn't opened yet."

Huangfu Haotian didn't care what the clerk said, pushed the clerk away, and rushed into the shop, "I'm looking for your shopkeeper!"

The buddy was pushed by Huangfu Haotian, and immediately became angry, while quickly stopping Huangfu Haotian, he shouted: "What's the matter with you? You said it's not open yet, why didn't you listen?"

Huangfu Haotian glanced at the buddy with his sharp eyes, and the buddy couldn't help but feel his feet trembling, what kind of look was this, it seemed to swallow him up.

At the moment when the clerk was in a daze, Huangfu Haotian had already passed him and walked into the store.

Yu Qingye originally fell asleep because he was worried about his wife, but he woke up when Huangfu Haotian knocked on the door, so when Huangfu Haotian came to the store, Yu Qingye just came out from the inner hall.

"Guest officer, our store is closed today."

Seeing the eager Huangfu Haotian, a trace of surprise flashed in Yu Qingye's eyes. He didn't understand why this man was looking for him so eagerly.

"Shopkeeper, my wife wants to eat your fruit cake, can you come back home with me?"

Huangfu Haotian is not cruel, and will not become angry because of Yu Qingye's refusal, so for Xiao Li, Huangfu Haotian even lowered his posture to invite Yu Qingye.

Just as Yu Qingye was about to say something, a maid came out of the inner hall in a hurry, leaned into Yu Qingye's ear and said something, Yu Qingye's expression changed drastically, and he bowed his hands unceremoniously to Huangfu Haotian: "I'm sorry, guest officer, please go back, I have something to do at home, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Huangfu Haotian to speak, he directly entered the inner hall with hurried steps.

Huangfu Haotian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, followed behind Yu Qingye, and dodged into the inner hall.

In the inner hall, Yu Qingye was looking worriedly at the woman sitting on the bed, when he saw Huangfu Haotian coming in, a trace of hesitation flashed across Yu Qingye's face

"I said, I won't go, the young master should go find someone else."

When Huangfu Haotian saw such a scene, he also guessed in his heart that there was something wrong with Yu Qingye's family, although he felt that it was a bit bad to ask Yu Qingye to go to the Prince's Mansion, but for Xiao Li, he couldn't care less about it. At that time, Huangfu Haotian simply felt that the woman lying on the bed was sick.

"Shopkeeper, I know you have something to do at home, but my wife really wants to eat Siqingzhai's fruit cake, please."

Hearing Huangfu Haotian's words, a trace of anger flashed in Yu Qingye's eyes. The woman on the bed seemed to feel Yu Qingye's anger, and patted Yu Qingye's hand lightly with her slightly pale hand, motioning for Yu Qingye to help him. Get up by yourself.

Yu Qingye carefully lifted up Siniang, and found a comfortable position for Siniang to lie in his arms. At this time, Huangfu Hao saw Siniang's swollen belly, which was covered with a quilt before, and he didn't check for a while. Unexpectedly, Yu Qingye's wife was pregnant.

Without ignoring the flash of surprise in Huangfu Haotian's eyes, Yu Qingye spread his hands helplessly, "You also saw that my wife is pregnant and may give birth at any time, I really can't leave."

Hearing Yu Qingye's refusal, Huangfu Haotian knew that there was no possibility of slowing down. His wife was pregnant and was about to give birth, and no man would leave at this time.

Glancing at the pregnant woman on the bed, Huangfu Haotian couldn't bear it, thought for a moment, and suggested.

"Since the store can't leave, why don't you write down the recipe, and let my chef do it when I go back."

In fact, when Huangfu Haotian uttered these words, he felt apprehensive, after all, no one would be willing to hand over their own secret recipe to an outsider.

Sure enough, upon hearing Huangfu Haotian's request, Yu Qingye's face became distorted, "My lord is really good at joking, how can my family's ancestral secret recipe be easily shown to others?"

It's just a joke, it's ridiculous to try to cheat the secret recipe of Siqingzhai in this way!

Huangfu Haotian can understand Yu Qingye's non-cooperation, but understanding is nothing more than understanding. He is very clear about A Li's condition during this period of time. He has always been sick and has no appetite. How could he not bother to get what he wanted to eat?

But this Yu Qingye was sticking to his secret recipe and refused to give in at all. When Huangfu Haotian's gaze caught sight of Siniang's swollen belly, Huangfu Haotian couldn't help but smile.

"Shopkeeper, I didn't want to be so abrupt, but my wife is about to give birth like a sister-in-law. She hasn't had any appetite these days. When I asked her, she also told me that she missed Siqingzhai's fruit cake. That's why I rushed to invite the county non-stop, wanting to buy some fruit cakes to satisfy my lady's hunger."

Huangfu Haotian's tone was sincere, and Yu Qingye's face relaxed a lot, but he was still very conflicted.Si Niang gently touched Yu Qingye, and Yu Qingye looked down at his wife who was smiling softly at him, and suddenly understood.

When Huangfu Haotian saw Si Niang's movements, there was a triumphant arc on his handsome face that no one else could see.

Yu Qingye spared no effort to satisfy his wife's demands. Now that he understood what his wife meant, he didn't hesitate anymore.

"I can't bring you the secret recipe back to the cook in your house."

Huangfu Haotian seemed to have guessed what Yu Qingye said a long time ago, so he didn't reply, but quietly waited for Yu Qingye's next words.

Yu Qingye took a look at Huangfu Haotian, and couldn't help secretly praising Huangfu Haotian's unhurried temperament, it's just right for him to learn how to make fruit cakes.

"But I can leave the fruit cake to you. You learn it in my house and then make it for your wife." This is also an indirect test of whether you really love your wife as you show.Yu Qingye didn't say the following words, but just quietly waited for Huangfu Haotian to reply.

But Huangfu Haotian agreed without hesitation, "Okay."

Yu Qingye couldn't help but look at Huangfu Haotian once again. This natural aura didn't look like he would do it himself at all, but his unhesitating tone just now made Yu Qingye couldn't help but think, he, Probably loves his wife very much.

Following Yu Qingye to the kitchen of Siqingzhai, Yu Qingye waved away the others and carefully followed each step of Pope Fu Haotian in making fruit cakes. It's admirable, it's like the fruit cake in my hand is my lover, there is no trace of impatience and perfunctory.

Huangfu Haotian did these cumbersome steps, asked Yu Qingye to taste it over and over again, and started over from the beginning when he got a negative answer. Regarding all this, Huangfu Haotian did not show the slightest impatience, and as long as he thought of Xiao Li Being able to eat the sweet and sour fruit cake made by himself, Huangfu Haotian's heart softened.

Taking advantage of a whole morning, Huangfu Haotian finally showed a satisfied smile when Yu Qingye nodded.His Ali can eat the fruit cakes he made himself.

Just when Huangfu Haotian was about to say goodbye to Yu Qingye, the maid who served Si Niang ran to find Yu Qingye with a panicked expression.

"Master, go and have a look, Madam is not well."

"What did you say?" Yu Qingye pushed the girl away and rushed to the delivery room. People came and went in and out of the room from time to time. Yu Qingye was in a hurry, but he hated that he couldn't go in.

Huangfu Haotian, who followed, heard Si Niang's painful groans in the room, and couldn't help clenching his fists. If his A Li had a child, would he be in such pain?

But Huangfu Haotian was not allowed to think too much, only to see Wen Po ran out anxiously, and said to Qingye: "Master, madam is having a difficult delivery."

"what?"

When Yu Qingye heard the news, his face turned pale, and he took two steps back. Difficult childbirth, for a woman, it was like stepping into the gate of hell, life and death.

"How could it be difficult to give birth? What are you servants doing?"

Listening to Yu Qingye's words, the servants all had red eyes. Madam treats them so well, how could they not take care of them attentively, but when encountering such a thing, I am afraid that the master will be confused.

Looking at the sad servants, a trace of sadness flashed in Yu Qingye's eyes. How could he not know the loyalty of his servants, but, just, that was his only wife...

Just when Qingye was at a loss, Huangfu Haotian's voice was like a ray of sunshine, breaking through the haze.

"I'll help you find the best imperial physician."

Flying pigeons passed on the letter, the prince's order caused a moment of chaos in the capital, and then the best imperial physicians in the palace were brought to Qingjun by the guards of the prince's mansion as quickly as possible.

Because of the arrival of these imperial physicians, Siqingzhai suddenly became lively.

The imperial physician is worthy of being an imperial physician. After mentioning Siniang's diagnosis, he immediately found out the cause of the problem. For a while, the servants of Siqingzhai were all busy. Thinking that his wife could be saved, everyone's faces were full of joy.

After what seemed like a long time, the sound of a baby crying finally came from Si Niang's room. Mrs. Wen came to Yu Qingye with the baby in her arms, and said with a happy smile, "Congratulations, master. Mother and child are safe."

Seeing this scene, Yu Qingye couldn't help sighing: This is indeed destined by the heavens. If Si Niang hadn't agreed to teach the prince to make fruit cakes, the prince would not have spared no effort to let the prince save Si Niang. fruit.

But Huangfu Haotian didn't wait for this result, because he knew that Si Niang would be fine with the imperial doctor around, because he had more important things to do, that is, to take fruit cakes for Xiao Li to eat.

When Huangfu Haotian returned to the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Li was already up.

From far away, Xiao Li heard Huangfu Haotian's voice: "A Li, do you see what I brought you?"

Xiao Li couldn't help laughing seeing Huangfu Haotian taking out the fruit cake as if offering a treasure.

Because it was something she wanted to eat, Xiao Li inevitably ate a few more, but in the end she still felt uncomfortable and wanted to vomit.Feeling the uncomfortable feeling, Xiao Li smiled self-deprecatingly: "Haotian, this fruit cake is so delicious, I'm greedy, and I'm a bit stretched after eating too much."

Huangfu Haotian was happy when he heard Xiao Li's words, but there was no need to think about it, because in fact, Xiao Li did eat a little more than usual.
