Hurry up, please be kind

Chapter 24

"Your Majesty, Xiao Yuchu is here."

Eunuch An tentatively knocked on the palace door and announced softly.

"Come in." The empress' voice sounded.

Before Xiao Xiao entered, he felt a strange atmosphere inexplicably, and it became more obvious after entering.

In broad daylight, the "lonely man and widow" were in a room together, the door was closed, and Shen Hua looked as if he had been "bullied".

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be doing...

indescribable.

A sense of guilt rose in her heart in vain.

Thinking about whether to leave or not.

But she's already in.

It shouldn't be silenced, right?

"What trick did you do again?"

Si Zhuo's attention was quickly attracted by the food box, she remembered that her imperial cook said that there would be a surprise on her birthday.

She was very curious about what surprises could be contained in such a small food box.

Xiao Xiao patted herself on the head vigorously to get all the paint out of her brain, and she soon burst into a smile.

"Eunuch An, come and do me a favor." Xiao Xiao closed the windows and doors, and used curtains to block the light coming in from outside.

The light in the room quickly decreased, and it was dim and vaguely visible.

"Your Majesty, come and see!" Xiao Xiao opened the food box, took out the contents, and waved to Si Zhuo with a smile.

Si Zhuo and Shen Hua stepped forward to look, and the most conspicuous thing was a plate of round cakes, with fruits and flowers on it, and some words written on it, all gaudy.

It looked very sweet, and Si Zhuo was not interested.

What attracted Si Zhuo even more was another small plate, which contained many sticks, covered with chili and oil, which seemed to be some kind of snack.

"What is this?" Si Zhuo pointed at the little dish.

"Spicy strips."

Xiao Xiao's expression was a little strange.

The queen's taste is peculiar, if she is not worried that the other party doesn't like to eat too sweet food, how could she make this kind of thing?

It was too difficult in ancient times, the history of artificial spicy strips of blood and tears.

Si Zhuo directly picked up one of the chopsticks, and the spicy taste filled his mouth, not purely spicy, but vaguely mixed with salty and sweet, inexplicably blended together, but not at all peaceful.

The first time I ate the spicy strips was so good that the empress's eyes lit up a little, and she even said, "Not bad."

Well, it can barely be regarded as a "surprise".

Xiao Xiao's expression became even weirder. Seeing that she was about to pick it up again, the lid of the food box covered the small dish, and stared at Si Zhuo vigilantly, as if staring at a cat that had been stealing food.

"Ok?"

The empress stared at her imperial chef dangerously, and wouldn't let her eat?
"Your Majesty, wait a minute, look at this!" Xiao Xiao was not afraid of her staring at all now, and pushed the round pastry over.

"What is this?" Shen Hua was slightly curious.

"Birthday cake, I eat it on my birthday," Xiao Xiao explained with a smile while lighting the candles, "Sing with me!"

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Xiao Xiao was in high spirits, her voice was as clear as an oriole.

Si Zhuo and Shen Hua looked at each other, confused.

"Sing, just follow me."

Xiao Xiao was dissatisfied with her one-man show, pressed down the food box covered with spicy strips, and looked at Si Zhuo threateningly, "A child who doesn't sing is not a good baby, and there is no spicy strips to eat!"

"..."

Si Zhuo's eyes were strange, looking at his own cowardly imperial cook, how dare he threaten me with delicious food?simply--

wise.

"Well, I wish you a happy birthday." Si Zhuo's tone was in a straight line, as if she was declaring a decree, very serious without ups and downs, very perfunctory.

"Ah...Your Majesty reads really well, with clear enunciation and correct pronunciation, hehehehehe..."

Xiao Xiao almost couldn't help rolling her eyes at Si Zhuo.

The illusion in her heart was shattered, she knew how could she hear His Majesty sing in her lifetime?
Forget it, singing will break the personality of Empress Gao Leng.

"Your Majesty, make a wish in your heart, and then blow out the candles."

Xiao Xiao reminded, with crooked eyebrows and bright smiles, the candlelight hit the faces of several people, and the orange hue brought a natural warmth.

"I don't have any wishes to grant." Empress Geng Zhi said so, her gaze resting on the lid of the food box vaguely.

"Think about it~"

Well, for the sake of Yu Chu's sincerity.

Si Zhuo thought about her wish seriously.

Well, take back the soul fragments, beat the world with strength, kick the main god to ascend to the throne...

What else?

Looks like there's something else to look for, though I can't remember what it is.

Then add another one and get back what was lost.

So be it.

"Okay." Si Zhuo said to Xiao Xiao.

"Blow out candles!" Xiao Xiao looked at Si Zhuo with sparkling eyes, looking expectant.

Si Zhuo glanced at her, it was just something to eat, there were so many tricks.

"hurry up!"

All right, the empress blows coldly.

"Huh!" She lowered her waist slightly, exhaled at a few candles, and then quickly got up with a calm expression.

The action was so fast that Huo Miao didn't even react.

Mother!She is so cute!

Xiao Xiao widened her eyes and watched the Empress's movements without blinking. Although Si Zhuo moved quickly, Xiao Xiao still captured every detail of her.

Obviously the expression is so cold and cold, and the actions are so perfunctory.

But when doing this kind of thing, there will be a trace of childishness.

Aww, let her make up her mind!

The high-cold empress is cute in contrast!
It's so good!

Mother!Wo wants to give birth to monkeys for her~
Shen Hua felt that she was a little too excited, and gave her a strange look, his eyes were as calm as a clear spring.

Xiao Xiao shivered inexplicably, all the messy thoughts in her head disappeared.

"Ahem, let's eat, let's eat." Xiao Xiao's rotten brain was a little ashamed, and he started to share the cake to cover up.

Compared with the 21st century, the cake is very simple, but it took her a lot of effort to make it in this era, and the dish of spicy strips, God knows how many times she experimented.

Rao is an imperial chef who likes to cook. When doing these two things, he can't wait to wear it back and buy things directly.

The cake was not big, so she divided the cake into four pieces, one piece and one small plate were just enough to hold it, and divided it up for each person.

It was not the first time for the four of them to eat with the empress "no matter how big or small". Eunuch An, who was the most difficult to accept, was used to it.

"Your Majesty, the three of us made this together." Xiao Xiao said while pushing a piece of cake to Si Zhuo.

"Eunuch An kneaded the flour, I beat the eggs, Shaoshi Shen chopped the peppers, and we peeled the fruits together..."

Shen Hua originally wanted to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Si Zhuo, so he came here specially to ask Xiao Xiao about cooking skills.

But Eunuch An racked his brains and couldn't think of anything worthy of giving to the Empress as a birthday gift.

Xiao Xiao directly proposed to make cakes and spicy strips together.

It is worth mentioning that Shen Hua Chopped Pepper...

That picture was simply too beautiful to bear to look at directly.

He couldn't stand the heat, so he chopped it a few times, and the spicy taste of the chili rushed into his nostrils, and his eyes were red.

But he insisted on chopping it himself, Xiao Xiao couldn't resist him.

Probably, because His Majesty likes it.

　Update at 3:00 & 12:00.
