First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 122 The cake is so delicious!

"Let Wei Zhong come and take him to live in the side room." Wei Ling said slowly.

Not long after, Wei Zhong was called in and picked up Ye Shizhi, who was still thinking, and took him away.

"Huh!" After the others were taken away by Wei Zhong, Su Jixiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "My mouth is dry!" She took a new cup, poured herself a cup of milk tea, and took a sip.

"I didn't expect Madam to be so eloquent!" Wei Ling smiled faintly, looking at Su Jixiang with bright eyes. "How did you come up with the idea of serving the people? And the phrase "bow your head and be willing to serve as a cow for children", what a witty saying! I am also well-read, but I can't remember where this phrase came from, Madam, did you come up with it yourself?"

Su Jixiang...

How could she be so worthy to say such great words?

"Hey, these are all words from saints. I just saw them, so I used them." Su Jixiang waved her hands. If she pressed these two sentences into her head and made them her original creation, she would probably shorten her life by several years!

"It seems that there are countless books in the palace." Wei Ling nodded. Su Jixiang was a palace maid, if she could see the books of sages, it could only be in the palace... Considering that she was able to get by in the cold palace before, it was not difficult for her to read a few books.

"Oh, you asked Wei Zhong to send him to the side room, and no one is watching him?" Su Jixiang slapped his thigh. "The shopkeeper failed to silence him, so someone else should come to silence him!"

"Do you finally know why I brought him back?" Wei Ling raised his hand and knocked on the table, "I thought you wanted to influence him to work for me!" He paused, "Don't worry, Wei Zhong knows what to do. Someone will watch him at night." He brought the man back with the intention of seeing who dared to come and silence him, and by the way, to see what hidden dangers were lurking around him so that he could catch them one by one and deal with them.

"It's not that he can't be influenced..." Su Jixiang said, "At least don't let him be used as a gun by others and go against you! One less enemy is always better than one more! I think this kid is not a bad person at heart. If you give him to Xie Yingfeng to teach him well, it's not impossible for him to become your helper!"

After hearing what Su Jixiang said, Wei Ling actually thought about it seriously.

After a moment, he nodded, "If Madam has this intention, I will give it a try." Anyway, the matter of teaching people was left to Xie Yingfeng. It would be Xie Yingfeng who would be in trouble, not him...

"The child probably hasn't eaten yet. Let Lushui bring him something to eat later." Su Jixiang said.

Seeing Wei Ling eat the whole piece of cake, Su Jixiang could only silently say in his heart, "Six, six, six! What a good appetite!"

"I see you don't want to eat anything tonight." Su Jixiang asked, looking at the empty plate.

"Yes, it is indeed not necessary." Wei Ling nodded. "Madam, please take a rest first. I still need to deal with some things here." He pointed to the unfinished files on the table and said.

He seldom showed up at the military camp these days. Most of the military affairs were delivered to his study at home by his messengers, and some were handed over to Xie Yingfeng to handle.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Wei Ling calculated the military posture and decided to give each of the hundreds of thousands of Black Tiger soldiers one or two taels of silver to celebrate the New Year.

Although each person only has one or two taels of silver, it adds up to a huge expense, but it seems affordable at the moment.

He had to write another memorial to the capital to ask for some military funds. After all, no one would have too much money! If he didn't want it, other armies would want it! He didn't need to save money for Emperor Longchang. And he also wanted to see how Emperor Longchang would treat him and the Black Tiger Army after the death of the deposed emperor. This was a good opportunity.

Su Jixiang packed up the remaining things and took them out of the study. As soon as he came out, he happened to meet Qu Wanning who came to visit.

Su Jixiang had already told the doorman that as long as it was the Qu family, Xie Yingfeng, and Qu Wanning who came, they could just let her in without notifying them.

"The cake you sent over was so delicious!" Qu Wanning grabbed Su Jixiang's hand and asked eagerly, "Can you teach me?"

"Of course you can, but that thing is very complicated to make, and I don't have all the tools here. I'll help you get a set of molds or something in a few days, and it won't be too late for me to teach you later!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.

"Okay, then we have a deal!" Qu Wanning smiled at Su Jixiang, "Then I will go back first, I am also learning how to make things!"

"So you came here just to say this?" Su Jixiang was a little surprised...

"Yes, you have no idea how delicious it is!" Qu Wanning laughed, "Even in the capital, I have never eaten something so delicious! The cakes in the palace are far inferior to this."

"You just want to try something new." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "The snacks made by the imperial chefs in the palace are quite good."

"If you had taken this thing out from the imperial kitchen back then, you would have really become famous!" Qu Wanning said with a smile.

"I should thank you. I won't know how I died when I die!" Su Jixiang smiled and shook his head. If you don't have absolute power and strength in the palace, don't be the first one to stand out...

"That's true!" Qu Wanning thought for a moment and said, "Originally, Concubine Chen didn't want to let you go. If she knew you had such a skill, I'm afraid she and the Queen would want to snatch you away. If they can't snatch you away, they will kill you. Your situation is really not good..."

Isn't that the truth?

Qu Wanning came and left quickly. After talking to Su Jixiang for a few words, he hurried back, saying that there was still soup stewing in the pot.

Su Jixiang knew that Huarui would come the next day, so she cut some cakes and put them away so that Huarui could taste them when she came tomorrow. She asked the servants to divide the rest, and also asked Wei Zhong to send a small piece to Ye Shizhi.

Wei Zhong entered the wing room and saw Ye Shizhi sitting there, flipping through the book that recorded his father's crimes. He couldn't help but said unhappily, "You are really lucky. The general spared your life before. You said you didn't cherish it, but you had to take risks to get yourself killed. Now the lady has made delicious food and wants to share some with you! Boy, reflect on yourself!"

After saying that, he slammed the door shut and locked it.

After Wei Zhong left, Ye Shizhi set his eyes on the small piece of cake on the plate. He remembered the fragrance and reached out to take the plate and took a small bite.

With just this one bite, the tears he had been holding back burst out.

This stuff is really delicious!

Wei Ling’s wife is so good to him!
