Princess Ningping's eyes were immediately attracted by the new pastry brought by Zi Su - the pastry was as translucent as amber, trembling in the glass dish, and the flowers and fruits wrapped inside could be clearly seen.
"Sister-in-law of Nine Emperors, what kind of snack is this? It's so beautiful."
"It's the Glaze Flower Cake." Mingruo pushed the small bowl of brown syrup in front of her, "If you like it sweeter, you can pour some more syrup on it."
"Okay." Princess Ningping chose a piece of flower cake, poured a spoonful of syrup on it, then took a small spoonful and put it in her mouth. Her eyes instantly lit up, "This is too delicious!"
"Then you should eat more." Mingruo looked at the expressive girl and found it very interesting.
"Sister-in-law of Nine Emperors, can I take a piece back and give it to my mother-in-law to try?" Princess Ningping was very straightforward.
"Zicao, do you have more glazed flower cakes in the kitchen?" This little dessert is really not difficult to make, it just needs time to solidify.
"There are two pieces left, and the rest were taken away by shopkeeper Sun." Zicao was also a little speechless. She taught the cook how to cook it, but shopkeeper Sun said that she would take some back to open up the market at noon and attract customers in the afternoon.
.
"Then you can make more and bring some back to Princess Ningping, and also send some to the Duke's Mansion."
"Yes, Princess." Zicao took the order and left.
"Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors, you are so kind." Princess Ningping felt that this sister-in-law was really kind.
"Well, I'm very good." Mingruo nodded seriously, "You can see what else you like and I'll make it for you."
"Hahaha." Princess Ningping couldn't stop laughing, "Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors, you are so lovable, no wonder Brother Nine Emperors wants to pamper you."
Princess Ninh Binh had lunch at the palace, and then invited Mingruo to go to the lake with her. Mingruo had not tried this activity before, so she went happily. The two decided to go back to Prince Duanze's palace first and bring some cakes there.
, and then go to Xuanwu Lake.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. Princess Ningping's two maids, Su Qin and Xue Qi, picked up the food boxes, got off the carriage and delivered snacks to the palace.
"Sister-in-law of Nine Emperors, why don't we go down and have a cup of tea? You haven't been to my house yet." Princess Ningping shook Mingruo's sleeves.
It's too rude to come to the door so rashly. Mingruo shook his head: "Come back another day. I'll alarm your mother if I go down...Are you going to go to the lake yet?"
"Then you must come. The lychee meat made by my mother is delicious."
"Okay." Mingruo looked out the window and saw two young gentlemen coming out of the palace. They were about to get on their horses when they saw a carriage stopping here and looked over.
Huh? Mingruo opened the gauze curtain and waved over there: "Fourth cousin."
"Ruo'er." Su You came over immediately, "Are you coming to the palace as a guest?"
"No, I want to go swimming in the lake with Ningping."
Su You saw Princess Ningping in the carriage and saluted quickly: "We have met Her Royal Highness."
"Young general, please excuse yourself." Princess Ningping returned the gift.
Prince Hong came over and greeted Mingruo first: "Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors."
"The prince is exempt from the gift." Ming Ruo nodded slightly, her boyfriend was really senior.
"Where are you going, brother?" Ning Ping looked at the horses brought by the boy.
"There is a Louzhou Poetry Party in Xuanwu Lake today. Brother Su and I will go and have a look."
"We also want to go to Xuanwu Lake, but you can't get anywhere by riding a horse." Princess Ningping waved her hand and motioned for them to go first.
Su You saw that his cousin had taken Princess Ningping's palace carriage, and it seemed that she only brought two maids with her. How unsafe it was: "Your Majesty, let's go with the princess and their palace carriage."
"That's fine." Prince Hong nodded.
Crown Prince Hong and Su You led the way, while Princess Ninh Binh's palace carriage followed slowly behind.
Suqin smiled and put a food box on the small table: "This is fresh food made in the small kitchen of the mansion. Please give Princess Yunqin a try. Our princess also said that next time you will definitely come to the mansion and sit down.
"
"Okay." Mingruo nodded.
Suqin was originally the maidservant of Princess Duanze, and was specially sent to Princess Ningping to control her. Suqin turned around and straightened her face, and passed on Princess Duanze's words: "The princess asked the princess not to be naughty.
How can you not invite the guests in for a cup of tea when they arrive at the door, but you still have the nerve to ask for snacks!"
Princess Ningping made a face at Mingruo - Look, if you don't go when I ask you to sit there, will I be scolded?
Ming Ruo couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Princess Ningping's quirky look, she knew that she was favored in the house.
Xuanwu Lake is in the north of the imperial capital, not too far away. When a group of people came to the lake, they could see various flower boats and painted boats parked on the pier.
Princess Ninh Binh originally planned to rent a painting boat for a trip to the lake, but when she saw the huge boat docked in the middle of the pier, she suddenly felt that the painting boat was not that good.
"Ruo'er, why don't you come with us to play on the boat, so we can have someone to take care of you." My cousin is a grandmother, and she must not let anything slip by. "It's not safe for you two girls at home."
"I can do anything." Mingruo looked at Princess Ningping.
"I want to take a boat ride!" Princess Ninh Binh immediately expressed her opinion.
"Then let's go together." Prince Hong agreed.
This Louzhou Poetry Festival was organized by Master Jiu Fang of the Imperial Academy, and all the young masters in the imperial capital were invited. However, the young master who received the post could bring one person with him. It happened that both Su You and Prince Hong had received it.
Post, you can bring Mingruo and Princess Ningping on board.
With the title of Prince Hong, you can sit in a private room on the second floor. There are windows in the front and back of the private room. The front window opens and you can see the lobby on the first floor of the building. The rear window opens and you can enjoy the lake view.
Mingruo opened the back window and looked at the scenery. The wind came out from the lake, mixed with some water vapor, and it was very pleasant to blow. Princess Ningping opened the front window and looked around, and then sat down next to Mingruo.
"The location of our box is perfect. On the left are the Third Prince and Princess Mingyu, and on the right is Princess Lanyang." Princess Ningping could also see that Princess Mingyu always wanted to cause trouble for the Nine Emperors Wife.
Auntie should write more good poems and make Princess Lanyang unable to stand up."
"If she likes to toss back and forth, just do it. Why do you have to hold her down..." Mingruo shook his head.
"I was so annoyed when I saw her arrogant look on her self-proclaimed most talented woman. If I had the skills of the Nine Emperors Sisters, I would definitely torture her so much that she would never dare to come to the poetry gathering again." Princess Ningping puffed up her cheeks and said, "Peach Blossom Banquet"
You made such a big ugly appearance, and now you are showing off again, you are so shameless!"
In the box next door, the third prince poured a cup of tea for the eighth princess: "Princess Mingyu, please have some tea."
"Thank you so much, Your Highness." The Eighth Princess lowered her eyes slightly in shyness.
The third prince's eyes were dim. Princess Mingyu's appearance was not as good as that of Princess Qinghuang, but her words and deeds were also a bit strange.
