So, he just brought it back in hiding and wanted to go back and put it away in his study. But could’ve expected that it would be exposed and that too in front of this woman!
Facing the disdain and disgust in Su Tang’s eyes, Song Shi’an speechlessly looked for the heavens.
Su Tang despisingly looked Song Shi’an up and down, and whispered, “I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it, It perfectly fits now! A beast in a human’s skin!”
Song Shi’an couldn’t take it and replied, “This is what the emperor forced me to accept!” It was enough for her to despise him once, but if something similar happened again, wouldn’t she just despise him to death!
But Su Tang did not believe him at all, “Hmph, who knows!” He then strode out with a pen and paper in her hands, and when she reached the door, she didn’t forget to turn around and say, “… beast in human skin!”
Suddenly, Song Shi’an really wanted to become a beast! Very very very much!
When Su Tang just stepped out, she saw a person approaching.
The woman was wearing a long cyan dress, carrying a food box in her hands. She was alone and did bring a maid, she was the only one in the corridor. With bright flowers on both sides of the corridor, and the suns rays shining on the corridor begot a scenery that was quite pleasing to look at.
Su Tang looked at Chen Li, feeling that she had a pure and natural beauty although she wasn’t as good as the three beauties.
“Are you looking for me?” Su Tang asked nonchalantly.
“Um,” Chen Li nodded, “I just made a few snacks and was about to bring them to you.”
Su Tang raised her brows. Hey, why are you giving me food for no reason? But as it wasn’t as for her to go out anymore, she did not reject her and greeted her.
Chen Li didn’t expect Song Shi’an to be in there. At his sight, she suddenly felt cramped and bowed her head, “General.”
Song Shi’an looked at her with a low-spirited look and arched an eyebrow, and wondered—Who is this? I have never seen her before!
Su Tang saw him puzzled, and gave him a blank look, “This is the girl who saved Xiao Xuanzi! Oh, her real name is Chen Li!”
Song Shi’an nodded. He seemed impressed.
The two walked to the table, Chen Li opened the lid, and then several delicate pastries were presented. The aroma immediately pervaded the room. It was different from the sweet aroma of ordinary pastries, but the aroma seemed to be mixed with floral vanilla and hints of the scents of medicine.
Su Tang couldn’t help picking up a piece and eating it. As soon as it entered her mouth, she felt the cake instantly melt, and the sweetness began to overflow like spring water between her teeth and lips.
“Wow! It’s delicious!” Su Tang was amazed for a while, “What is this made of? Hey Cold- Ah, Xianggong, come and have a taste!”
As soon as Su Tang opened her mouth, “Cold Noodles” involuntarily popped out, making her feel embarrassed. Although Song Shi’an was hungry, he did not eat, so he said “Goodbye” and went out.
In front of the food, Su Tang didn’t have time to talk to him, she only pulled Chen Li and asked, “You made all these?”
“Um,” facing the compliment, Chen Li pursed her lips and said with a smile, “I’ve shown my incompetence.”
“Not at all! Look how delicious these are, but what materials did you use to make them? I haven’t tasted anything like these before.”
“It’s mint cake. Mixed fresh mint leaves into juice and mix well with honey and cooked rice flour. It can disperse heat and clear the mind.”
“What about this?” Su Tang asked again for a white square cake with walnuts and raisins on it.
“This is Poria cake. Mixed poria powder with flour, then steamed it in a basket. It can strengthen the spleen, so you can rest assured.”
“…”
“…”
Every time Su Tang asked about a particular item, Chen Li would explain by giving the name, method, and effect, one by one. She (Su Tang) was stunned and could only gawk at her. She used to make pastries of various kinds, but she had never heard of these herbs and the combination in which they could be used, and now she heard medicinal herbs could be mixed and unified to create delectable sweets. She couldn’t but feel a little sparse.
Although pastry had only two words, it was unpredictable; what profound knowledge!
Suddenly, Su Tang remembered something and said, “You didn’t just come for this, right?”
Chen Li raised her head, staring directly at Su Tang’s eyes, and after a long time, she pursed her lips and said, “I beseech Madam Young to allow me to go to the pastry shop!”
Su Tang paused. If she couldn’t see the determination in Chen Li’s eyes, she would’ve chalked it up to her hearing it wrong. It was reasonable for people to go to the pastry shop. She was also a showgirl, so she couldn’t speak the same language as those girls. What’s would happen if she went to the pastry shop?
Seeing that she got no reply, Chen LI said, “Chen LI has studied medicine with her ancestor when she was young and has also learned to make pastries from her mother. One day, on a whim, when combined the two and gifted them to her grandparents. Tasting those, along with her mother, both of them complimented food. Her grandparent even wanted to open a pastry shop but was stranded because of the draft in the palace. Although Chen Li wanted to make one or two for tasting after entering the palace, it wasn’t as convenient, she kept giving up. Later, when she came to the general’s mansion and spent a lot of time in it. It was a pity that she didn’t have the opportunity to show it earlier. Then she heard that my lady was going to open a pastry shop.”
Su Tang listened to her solemnly as she finished these words. She felt that this little girl was different from ordinary people, but she was similar to herself, however …
Su Tang said with a smile: “The pastry shop was opened by my old man, not me.”
Chen Li heard the words, but those didn’t answer her request. But she smiled slightly. The clear eyes revealed intellect and insight.
Su Tang was uncomfortable by her and chuckled: “Have you seen it?”
Chen Li laughed.
“How can you tell?” Su Tang asked curiously.
Chen Li thought for a while, and replied, “The lady’s heart is in General’s Mansion, but also not in the General’s Mansion.”
Su Tang was ashamed, “Don’t be so vague!”
Chen Li said, “You are a restless person.”
Su Tang wanted to scratch the walls. Why did she have to ask so clearly!
“However, do you really want to go?” Su Tang still wasn’t assured. “You stay in the General’s Mansion but as the master, waiting for me to go … Um, maybe you’ll be spoiled later … You can be smart and if the General likes it. You can’t say in the future … “
“Chen Li didn’t dare to think differently!” Chen Li knelt and interrupted with a serious expression. “The general and his wife’s affection is obvious to all, Chen Li has no intention of intervening! Moreover, although the General is good, he is not the man in my heart! Originally, I heard Tian Youming thinking about living alone in the mansion for a long time … if I didn’t see you, Chen Li would not have dared to say those words! “
As soon as this word came out, everyone was silent.
Everyone, including Su Tang, including Xi Que who was waiting on the side, Song Shi’an who was coming back for a meal, and … Lieutenant General Liu Chun who was waiting at the door.
It turned out that this picturesque girl was obscure and maintained a low profile, but she did not expect her to be so hidden either!
Xi Que was surprised: Why do I seem to see another lady? So tough!
Su Tang was black-faced: Deep love? I’m in love with cold noodles? Does everyone see it? Everyone is blind!
Song Shi’an cold noodles: I married a woman to be divorced every day! There is a “sister-in-law” at home and says that he is not a “good guy”! Each one of them is what they are!
But Liu Chun thought: This girl feels so familiar? Ah, she looks like the one fished out of the river that day. I don’t know if she will return the gown to me. It was my favourite …
