The Legend of Noble Woman

Chapter 106 The Queen Mother 4
After hearing Aunt Baozhu's report, the Empress Dowager had a solemn expression on her face, "You mean, the murderer behind Taishi Liu's death in the mansion should be Tan Jin?"

"Queen Mother, do you need servants to send someone to investigate?"

Aunt Baozhu looked at the Queen Mother and asked softly.

The Empress Dowager shook her head, stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, "No need. Grand Master Liu had just sued Tan Jin in the morning, and he was even dismissed from his official position when he came down to court, and died in the mansion at night. Grand Master's death was too coincidental." Now, if it is said that there is no Tan Jin's handwriting here, the Ai family will not believe it."

"..."

Aunt Baozhu didn't speak, but just stood quietly aside.

The queen mother narrowed her eyes, and finally said: "Baozhu, go to Ai's bedroom and get the purple jade phoenix hairpin."

"Yes."

Baozhu has been serving the Empress Dowager all along, and knows the weight of this purple jade phoenix hairpin.This is the phoenix hairpin that the late emperor ordered the Six Palaces Bureau to make for the queen mother alone. This purple jade phoenix hairpin cost over ten thousand. A whole piece of purple jade was divided into this purple jade phoenix hairpin.

Now the Empress Dowager asked her to take out the purple jade phoenix hairpin, probably to give it to Concubine Chen.

……

An hour later, Liu Zixi held the crystal cake he made himself with both hands, and then went to meet the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager is in the back garden of Yongshou Palace. At this time, the season is gradually entering autumn, and it is cool in the morning and evening.

On the contrary, the temperature in the afternoon is the most pleasant. The crystal cake Liu Zixi made is actually not a very sweet dessert.It just has a light milk flavor, and it is paired with sweet-scented osmanthus honey, so that the fragrances of the two have their own fragrances, and there is no one who replaces the other, or covers the other.

When the crystal cake appeared in the Empress Dowager's eyes like a hemisphere, the Empress Dowager was a little surprised, "Is this the crystal cake you mentioned?"

"Please taste, Queen Mother."

Liu Zixi offered it with both hands, and Xueling who was at the side quickly helped her put the crystal cake on the small table, and retreated to the side.

Aunt Baozhu took a look at it, and praised: "This crystal cake is well made, one layer is crystal clear, and the other layer is as white as frost, covering them alternately. How many layers are there?"

"Nine floors. It means a long life."

Liu Zixi's face showed a gentle look, but she hadn't forgotten that when her grandfather went to Magnolia Manor, when he was with her father, she made the Nine Crystal Cake by herself, which the two men liked to eat very much.

This Jiujing cake is actually an improved version of Zihua's crystal cake. When she first met the Queen Mother, she didn't know why she suggested making cakes by herself.

The queen mother did not object, so she did it with all her heart.

Aunt Xueling assisted in the whole process and made several Jiujing cakes.

Now there is only one.

Because Liu Zixi is not sure whether the Queen Mother really likes this food. After all, the Queen Mother is the most honorable woman in Xia Kingdom. What delicious food has she never tasted?There are countless imperial chefs in the palace, and every imperial meal is carefully prepared by the imperial chefs.

Can my own Nine Crystal Cake catch the eyes of the Empress Dowager?
The Empress Dowager sat there, staring at the novel pastry, her eyes lit up, she picked up the small spoon on the shelf, and then took a corner of the pastry, put it into her mouth and tasted it lightly.

The faint milk fragrance and sweetness, and the crispy and refreshing crystal cake made the Empress Dowager's eyes shine, "That's right, it's delicious. Zixi, you did a good job, and you will be rewarded if you do it well. Today, the Ai family will give you purple jade." Fengchai, the empress comes from the common people and cannot be on the stage. You are the head of the nine concubines, you should assist in managing the six palaces, and you should also be responsible. Don’t feel tired and tired, understand?"
