Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 28 Longevity Petition
I didn't expect Mingqi to say that.

It is true that before this year, every year on Mingqi's birthday, I would personally cook a bowl of longevity noodles for him. It is not a good skill, but it is still my heart.only this year,
It's not that I haven't thought about cooking longevity noodles for Mingqi this year.

I just thought of Mingqi returning to the palace near dawn on the night of the Lantern Festival, remembering that Mingqi often went out of the palace since he knew Changruo, and thinking of the tenderness on Mingqi's face every time he mentioned Changruo, I thought, my heart, come to think of it It's not what Mingqi wants either.

Furthermore, seeing Mingqi's happy expression when he received the fox 'Xiao Zi' brought by Zhang Ruotuo's father during the dinner, I thought that Mingqi might go out of the palace after the dinner.

So this year I just gave Mingqi a jade pendant as a birthday present, instead of cooking longevity noodles for him that would not be served in the palace as usual.

"Didn't the emperor just go to the dinner party just to drink?" I asked.

After Mingqi heard my words, he pursed his lips and didn't answer, his face was a little ugly.

Seeing Mingqi like this, I stopped asking questions, turned around and said: "The Ai family ordered the imperial dining room to bring some food to the emperor."

"I just want to eat longevity noodles." Ming Qi said behind me, with a rare stubbornness in his voice.

Hearing that I turned around and paused, I nodded softly after a long time: "Okay." After saying that, I turned and walked towards Changwu Hall.

Qihe didn't go back to sleep after I went out, she has been waiting for me in the main hall, when I saw me coming back, I came up to meet me, but when I saw Mingqi following me, I was obviously surprised.

"My servant has seen the emperor." Qi He bowed to Ming Qi.

"Pingshen." Seeing this, Ming Qi nodded lightly towards Qihe.

"Qi He, can the small kitchen return the fermented flour dough?" I asked after Qi Heping was behind him.

There is a small kitchen in Changwu Hall, and when you don't want to eat the food made by the imperial dining room, you will cook here.

Today I saw that the imperial dining room was busy with Mingqi's birthday banquet, so I cooked in the small kitchen.And Fang Xi likes to eat pasta, since breakfast is made here in the small kitchen today, it must have awakened a lot of dough.

"There are still some." Qi He replied.

"That's good." Hearing this, I nodded and waved my hand to let Qihe go down.

"Your maidservant will leave first." Seeing me waving, Qihe turned towards me and Mingqi Fu, she didn't ask me if I wanted to eat, and went down to do it by herself, she was obviously seeing Mingqi following me Then I understood that I was going to make longevity noodles for Mingqi.

After Qihe retreated, I asked Mingqi to wait in the main hall of Changwu Hall, while I went out of the main hall and went to the small kitchen.

Although the small kitchen in Changwu Hall is called a small kitchen, it is actually not small at all. It is called small because it is compared with the imperial dining room.

There are all kinds of kitchen utensils in the small kitchen, which is nearly the size of a room, and some standing ingredients are placed on the chopping board on the left hand side of the door.

The little maid who was on guard in the small kitchen tonight saw me coming in and quickly saluted me. When I asked where the leftover dough balls from the day were kept, she thought I wanted supper and wanted to make them for me.

"No need, the Ai family wants to do it by themselves today, you can help the Ai family light the fire." I said.

The little maid was taken aback when she heard the words, she probably didn't expect that I would want to do it by myself, but she was just a little palace lady after all, she didn't dare to question me, so after being surprised, she consciously went to light the fire.

There are not many dough balls left in the morning, but it is enough to make a bowl. After I got it, I saw that the dough balls were a bit hard, so I put it on the hot stove to continue fermentation, and then turned around to prepare the ingredients.
