but--
Murong Xitian saw the deep dark circles around her eyes and guessed that she must not have slept well these days. He caressed her head gently and said, "I'm really fine. You look tired, so you haven't slept well, okay?"
, go back to your room and catch up on your sleep."
"What about you? Do you really don't need to call the imperial doctor?" Xia Ziluo still thinks that it depends on the imperial doctor's insurance.
"Well, I'll go back to the study to do some work first, and then wait for the doctor." Worried that she would blame herself too much, Murong Xitian obeyed her suggestion.
As expected, Xia Ziluo stretched his eyes and smiled softly.
Murong Xitian also smiled along with her, his eyebrows and eyes full of tenderness.

The candlelight shines dimly on the paper window, and on the tree outside the window, the summer cicadas are noisy "Cicada, Cicada".
The sound of footsteps stopped abruptly in front of the window, and a beautiful woman in a moon-white dress was looking into the window. Her eyes were full of water, her face was like a peach blossom, and her honey-colored cherry lips were slightly pouted, adding a bit of delicacy and gentleness.
cute.
She only glanced at it, and her pretty face was immediately filled with disappointment—Murong Xitian was not in the study!
Her pink lips immediately shrunk, and she murmured: "He would be busy in the study at this time in the past. Where did he go today?"
Whispering, Xia Ziluo scratched his head, his face and eyes full of sweetness.
Since she was thrown back to the mansion by Ju Qing, although Murong Xitian still didn't ask for the truth, she could clearly feel his tenderness.
It was completely different from her previous gentleness. She felt that she had really touched his heart. A person like an iceberg, once he warms up, he is willing to give everything to you.
"What a pity..." Xia Ziluo looked at the carved red lacquered crabapple tea tray in her hand. This was a pastry she had carefully made for him.
He has been busy recently, and she is also busy with "having an auction house" and maritime trade.
During the day, the two of them were basically not at home. When they met in the evening, they would have a meal together and talk a few words.
Today, when she finally had some free time, she accidentally saw the amethyst hairpin he gave her, and she wanted to give him a gift in return to thank him for the gift.
However, she didn't know what to give.
Murong Xitian, as Prince Xiao, had an extremely noble status and lived a luxurious life. She couldn't think of anything he lacked.
But then, she thought that since there was no shortage of material gifts, what was needed was the heart.
Therefore, Xia Ziluo decided to make a unique midnight snack for Murong Xitian to express his gratitude.
How to achieve uniqueness, of course, is to make modern food!
Xia Ziluo thought for a long time and finally decided to make cookies for Murong Xitian to taste.
The ingredients for cookies are not difficult. They mainly use: flour, milk, butter, sugar, salt and eggs.
Flour, milk, sugar, salt and eggs are relatively easy to find, but butter... that thing that can be easily bought in modern supermarkets, was... in ancient times... When he had a headache, Xia Ziluo suddenly remembered that he had read it in a book
I've seen it before - butter is a food with a very long history.
If this is the case, then there should be butter in the Splendid Dynasty, but the name is different. For example, because it is yellow, it is called yellow cake or yellow honey; or because it is oily, it is called butter or lard...
Finally, after many inquiries from Xia Ziluo, I discovered that there is a method in Mongolia where milk skins are stored in large quantities, dried in the summer, and then put into a pot to cook, stirring slowly, and gradually you can see the upper and lower layers separated in the pot.
: The upper layer is yellow, the lower layer is white, and the stuff called "Hiritasu" is very similar to the butter she used to use.
