My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 197 The Taste of Maltose
The corners of His Highness's lips and eyes were slightly curved in an instant, and the unique taste of maltose exploded in his mouth. This is the child's favorite taste, bar none.

"Zhi'er, take some out and let everyone taste it, including the maids here."

Li Zhi quickly responded, and at this time Princess Changle had already taken a porcelain spoon and handed it to Li Zhi.

She wanted to taste it last night, but Hengshan insisted on holding the sugar bowl, saying that she wanted to let the queen taste it first. She, the imperial lady, didn't know how to let it go. As a result, Princess Changle didn't know that she personally directed everyone to do it. What does the caramel taste like?

If my little imperial sister is screwed up, her parents and queens will give up three points. She has never provoked her before, let alone mentioning it, she will not be able to argue with her own sister about this.

There was no way, Princess Changle hadn't tasted it at this time, so she handed Li Zhi a porcelain spoon and just looked at it eagerly.

Just now I saw the empress mother and the little emperor sister both ate it. Judging by their expressions, this food should be delicious, but I don't know how it tastes compared to the caramel they ate before.

Li Zhi took the porcelain spoon, and dug a few large spoons into the sugar bowl. At this time, he filled a small white porcelain bowl, which was full of light golden translucent maltose.

Princess Changle couldn't wait to take a bamboo chopstick and dip some into her mouth.

Just after tasting the taste, a smile appeared on that alluring face, and Li Zhi's heart was shaking when he saw it. This woman is so beautiful that every frown and smile can make people think.

"Third brother, is this still caramel?"

Princess Changle tasted it and couldn't help asking.

"This caramel was personally made by Huangjie and Huangmei who went to Jinwang Mansion to direct everyone to make it. Doesn't Huangjie know better?"

Princess Changle smiled, and licked the maltose on the bamboo chopsticks. Li Zhi looked at his sister, why was he a little envious of that chopstick.

Hey, hurry up and start reciting the mantra with a clear heart, this Tang Dynasty loves to be a goblin, and he is a jade-faced vixen.

After hearing Princess Changle's words there, Xiao Yourong and Cui Yan couldn't bear it now, they both took clean bamboo chopsticks and dipped them in maltose to eat, and put the maltose in their mouths one by one, their expressions completely exposed their feelings at this time .

Li Zhi looked at the appearance of several women eating maltose, and he really became beautiful, and he looked so good when he ate it.

"Chuntao, Xiahe, Qiuju, Dongmei, you guys also took your chopsticks and dipped them in to taste some. And Yihong, Yicuiyinger, Xinger, you guys also tasted it."

"Miss Lin, try it too!"

Li Zhi personally took a clean chopstick, deliberately inserted it into the small porcelain bowl, stirred it twice, and handed it to Lin Ruyin.

At this time, Chuntao and the others also took their chopsticks one after another. The maids also praised the maltose, which was sweeter than ever tasted.

At this time, Li Zhi took another small porcelain bowl, scooped two spoonfuls of maltose from the sugar bowl, then took clean chopsticks, and left for Yuzhang Huangjie's rest house.

At this time, Yuzhang Huangjie had just eaten porridge and rice, and was resting there with her eyes closed. When she heard the footsteps, she knew that it was Li Zhi who had come in.

"Third Brother, Sister Huang heard some commotion outside, and it seems that there is also the sound of Hengshan."

"Emperor Sister Changle and Sister Hengshan have just arrived at the bamboo garden. The caramel from Prince Jin's Mansion has been made. The little emperor sister brought a sugar bowl to the bamboo garden. How about trying this caramel?"

"Okay, Miss Huang, try it."

Li Zhi stirred a small ball of maltose with bamboo chopsticks, and carefully brought it to the lips of the imperial sister. The vermilion lips parted slightly, and Li Zhi carefully inserted the chopsticks into the mouth of the imperial sister Yuzhang.

Princess Yuzhang licked it lightly, then looked at Li Zhi.

"Third brother, is this really maltose? Why is it not at all like what Huang Jie ate before?"

"Emperor Sister Changle and Younger Sister Xiaohuang personally watched and made it. Is it true that Sister Huang will ask them later?"

"But this caramel is really too sweet, sweeter than honey."

"Does the queen like it?"

"Naturally like it!"

Li Zhi stirred another ball of maltose, and at this time carefully fed the Huang Jie, and gradually the maltose in the small porcelain bowl was eaten up.

"Third brother, is there anything else?"

"Also, there's a sugar bowl full outside, I'll put some more for Sister Huang."

"No, you help Huang Jie out, Huang Jie wants to go out and sit."

"it is good!"

Li Zhi put down the small porcelain bowl, and helped the imperial sister to stand up. When he was on the bed, Li Zhi deliberately hugged the imperial sister Yuzhang, and then saw that pair of exquisite jade feet stepping on the embroidered pointed boots placed beside the bed.

Li Zhi asked Huang Jie to sit on the edge, and he knelt down to help Huang Jie put on the pointed boots. Princess Yuzhang looked at her younger brother like this, and she had an unspeakable expression in her eyes.

"These days have made you tired, third brother."

"Sister Huang, when I was sick, Miss Huang took care of me like this."

After putting on his shoes, Li Zhi supported Huang Jie, and helped Huang Jie out of the house. The sunlight outside was just right, and through the bamboo forest, it cast thick mottled light and shadow.

Li Zhi supported Princess Yuzhang and walked to the long table. He had seen the little queen scooping out the sugar bowl with a spoon.

Li Zhi helped the imperial sister Yuzhang to sit down, walked to the little imperial sister, and looked at the sugar bowl, there was only half of it left.

"Mother, the new caramel made by Prince Jin's Mansion tastes nothing like the caramel I ate before. Changle thinks, should this caramel be renamed?"

"Zhier, how do you feel?"

"Zhi'er asks his mother to give him a name!"

Empress Changsun looked at Aiko, then at the sugar bowl.

"This sugar is mainly made of malt. My mother still remembers the fire in Taicang, so let's call it malt sugar!"

"Maltose, the name is good and appropriate!"

Empress Changsun looked at Li Zhi and smiled lightly. It was indeed quite comfortable to be flattered by her son.This child, in fact, is probably thinking in his heart that this newly made caramel candy should be called malt candy.

"Changle, how much maltose can you make in Prince Jin's Mansion?"

"After returning to my mother, there are a lot of raw materials, and it should be able to make hundreds of cans."

"Changle, when it is finished, send a jar to each of the concubines above the fifth rank in the palace, and a small bottle to each of the concubines below the fifth rank, in the name of King Jin."

"Yes, mother, Changle has recorded it."

Empress Changsun finished speaking, walked beside Princess Yuzhang, then sat down, took the hand of her adopted daughter, and put it in her arms.

"The queen mother sees that your body is gradually getting better, and it is sweeter than eating this maltose."

Empress Changsun caressed Princess Yuzhang's palm and smiled lightly. Princess Yuzhang naturally smiled too, looked at her mother, and then at Li Zhi next to her.

"Yuzhang thanked the queen mother for her concern. Thanks to the third younger brother, Yuzhang's health has recovered so quickly in the past few days."

"Well, get well soon. Your father returned to Chang'an in the middle of the month. This time your father went to Luoyang. Too many things happened in the palace. The queen mother doesn't know how to tell your father."

"Mother, everything will be fine when Father comes back."
