Chapter 345 Better than those who paid tribute to the Western Regions
Ye Qianning would rather look down on her and ridicule her for being old-fashioned?
It was the best she had ever tasted, 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 more delicious 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 classes and secondary college classes are far away, so they have never seen each other even in the academy.
But Nan Xiang is her only friend here. How could she forget her if she has delicious food?
On weekdays, Luo Xuan would ask him to send a portion of the cakes he brought to Nan Xiang, but this was all a little secret between them.
"Come on, come on, everyone, try it." The queen motioned to all the concubines to taste it.
She was the first to receive the tribute from the Western Regions. Concubine Yuan Guifei and Concubine No. 2 didn't even get it, so naturally she wanted to show off.
All the concubines, Princess Changyang, Princess Helian, and Madam Zhan also picked up the cakes and started eating them.
Sang Qi stiffened his face, turned his head angrily and said, "Nian Yunjian."
"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 found Western pastries unpalatable." The queen only thought he was jealous.
Concubine Yuan Gui was very fond of food from the Western Regions, and the taste of the cakes was very suitable to her taste. The emperor actually gave the empress the tribute items at the birthday banquet a few days ago.
Ye Qianning was also staring at him at this time, as if he was also confused.
Who would like to read Sang Qi's angry little face?
"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, this is the first time I have eaten such delicious snacks."
Sang Qi snorted coldly.
"It tastes bad." Sang Qi took a bite and threw the pastry onto the plate.
Concubine Zhan never liked sweets, and everyone in the harem knew that the queen was not displeased when she saw her just drinking tea.
"Nianyunjian? Where is that place?"
"The pastries from folk pastry shops are ten times more delicious than the pastries sold in the palace?" The queen didn't believe it at all.
Concubine Yuan Gui frowned, Qi'er was always polite, but why was she so ignorant today.
"Oh? I wonder what kind of cake 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.
"I heard that even if you have money, you can't eat pastries from the Western Regions. Today, you have benefited from the Queen."
"yes."
"Your Majesty, your words are wrong. The pastries from the Western Regions are indeed unpalatable. I, the Prince, have eaten pastries that are ten times better than this."
The concubines are flattering.
Princess Changyang couldn't say whether it tasted good or not. She was the queen on one side and the prince on the other. She smiled lightly: "Personal tastes are different."
She still knows a little about Concubine Yuan Gui's favorite foods.
"Pleasant aroma, sweet but not greasy."
"yes."
"Empress, Nianyunjian is a famous pastry shop in Kyoto City, and the pastries they make are very popular." Princess Changyang said.
"So I want to try it too. Aunt Zhang will ask someone to go out and buy some Nianyunjian cakes tomorrow."
Instead of quarreling with Ye Qianning in public, he argued with the queen about food in front of everyone. It was really shameful.
"Cui Xin, brew a pot of spring tea brought by me and give it to the empress, empresses, and princesses to taste." Concubine Yuan Gui ordered.
"Yes." Cui Xin stepped back.
"Spring 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."
