Chapter 262
"Okay." Mingruo nodded.
Princess Ning Ping's eyes were immediately attracted by the pastry newly brought by Zisu - the pastry was as bright as amber, trembling in the glass plate, and you could clearly see the flowers and fruits wrapped inside.
"Sister Nine Emperor, what kind of snack is this? It looks so beautiful."
"It's the glass flower cake." Mingruo pushed the small bowl of brown syrup in front of her, "If you like to eat sweeter, you can pour some syrup on it."
"Okay." Princess Ning Ping chose a piece of flower cake, put a spoonful of syrup and drizzled it on. Then she dug a spoonful and put it in her mouth, and her eyes lit up instantly, "This is so delicious!"
"Then you eat more." Mingruo looked at the girl with rich expression and found it very interesting.
"Sister-in-law Jiuhuang, can I bring a piece back and give it to my mother to try it?" Princess Ningping was very straightforward.
"Zicao, are there more glass flower cakes made under the kitchen?" This small dessert is really not difficult to make, it just takes time to solidify.
"There are two left, and the rest were taken away by Manager Sun." Zicao was speechless. She taught the chef how to do it, but Manager Sun said she wanted to take some back and open up sales at noon so that she could attract customers in the afternoon.
"Then you do more, bring some back to Princess Ningping, and send some to the Duke's Mansion."
"Yes, the princess." Zicao took the order and left.
"Sister-in-law Jiuhuang, you are so nice." Princess Ningping felt that this sister-in-law was really great.
"Well, I'm very good." Mingruo nodded seriously, "Look at what else you like and do it for you."
"Hahaha." Princess Ningping laughed so hard, "Sister-in-law, you are so popular. No wonder Brother Nine Emperor wants to spoil you."
Princess Ningping had lunch at the royal palace and then invited Mingruo to visit the lake together. Before Mingruo had tried this activity, she happily went there. The two decided to go back to Prince Duanze's mansion first, send a few pastries in, and then go to Xuanwu Lake.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. Princess Ningping's two maids, Su Qin and Xueqi, picked up the food boxes and got off the carriage and delivered snacks to the palace.
"Sister-in-law Jiuhuang, why don't we go down to have a cup of tea too? You have never been to my house yet." Princess Ningping shook Mingruo's sleeves.
It would be too rude to come to the door rashly. Mingruo shook his head: "Come again next day. I will still alarm your mother if I go down... Are you still going to go to the lake?"
"Then you must come. The lychee meat made by my mother is so delicious."
"Okay." Mingruo looked out the window and saw two young men coming out of the palace and about to get on their horses when they saw a carriage parked here, and they also looked over here.
Huh? Mingruo lifted the gauze curtain and waved to the other side: "Fourth Cousin."
"Ruoer." Su You came over immediately, "Are you visiting the palace?"
"No, I want to go to the lake with Ning Ping."
Su You saw Princess Ning Ping in the carriage and quickly saluted: "I have seen Your Highness the Princess."
"Major General, please give up the gift." Princess Ningping returned the gift.
Prince Hong came over and greeted Mingruo first: "Sister-in-law Jiuhuang."
"The prince is exempt from the ceremony." Ming Ruo nodded slightly. His boyfriend is really old.
"Where are you going, brother?" Ning Ping looked at the horse led by the servant.
"There is a boat poetry meeting in Xuanwu Lake today. I will go and see it with Brother Su."
"We are also going to Xuanwu Lake, but you can't walk one place when you ride a horse." Princess Ningping waved her hand and signaled them to leave first.
Su You saw that her cousin took Princess Ningping's palace car, and seemed to have only brought two maids. How unsafe it was: "Criminal, let's go with the princess and the others' palace car."
"Okay." Hong Shizi nodded.
Hong Shizi and Su You were leading the way in front, and Princess Ningping's palace car followed slowly behind.
Suqin smiled and put a food box on a small table: "This is fresh food made in the small kitchen of the mansion. Please also ask Princess Yun to try it. Our princess also said that you must go to the mansion next time to sit."
"Okay." Mingruo nodded.
Suqin was originally the maid next to Princess Duanze, who was specially sent to Princess Ningping to control her. Suqin turned her head and raised her face and passed on Princess Duanze's words: "The princess told the princess not to be naughty. How could the guests not invite in to have a cup of tea when they arrived at the door? She was so embarrassed to ask others for snacks!"
Princess Ningping made a face at Mingruo - Look, if you ask you to sit down, you won’t go, will I be scolded?
Mingruo couldn't help laughing. Looking at Princess Ningping's weird appearance, she knew that she was favored in the mansion on weekdays.
Xuanwu Lake is north of the imperial capital, and the distance is not far. When the group comes to the lake, they can see various flower boats and pleasure boats parked on the pier.
Princess Ningping originally planned to rent a pleasure boat to visit the lake, but when she saw the huge tower boat docked in the middle of the pier, she suddenly felt that the pleasure boat was no longer fragrant.
"Ruoer, it's better to go to the boat with us to take care of you." My cousin is the eyes of my grandmother, so there must be no mistakes. "You two girls' homes are not safe."
"I can do anything." Mingruo looked at Princess Ning Ping.
"I want to take a building boat!" Princess Ningping immediately expressed her opinion.
"Then let's go together." Hongzi made the decision.
This Boat Poetry Festival was held by Lord Jiufang, the Imperial College Priest, and the invited young masters were all talented and knowledgeable in the imperial capital. However, the young masters who received the post could bring one person with them. It just so happened that Su You and Hongzi both received the post, and they could take Princess Mingruo and Ningping onto the ship.
With the title of Hong Shizi, you can sit in the private room on the second floor. There are windows in front and behind the private room. Open the window in front and see the lobby on the first floor of the building, and open the window in the back to enjoy the lake view.
Mingruo opened the rear window to see the scenery. The wind came out of the lake, mixed with some water vapor, which was very pleasant to blow. Princess Ningping opened the window in front and looked around, then sat down next to Mingruo.
"The location of our private room is amazing. On the left is the third prince and Princess Mingyu, and on the right is Princess Lanyang." Princess Ningping could also see that Princess Mingyu always wanted to trouble the ninth princess. "After a while, Aunt Emperor will write a few more good poems, so that Princess Lanyang can't turn over."
"She likes to tumbling back and forth, just tumbling, why do you have to press her..." Ming Ruo shook his head.
"I was so annoyed to see her arrogant look as if she was the most talented woman. If I had the ability of the Ninth Prince's Sister-in-law, I would definitely be so cruel that she would not dare to attend the poetry meeting." Princess Ning Ping puffed up her cheeks, "It was such a big ugly thing at the peach blossom banquet. It took me so long to show off again. I was so thick-skinned!"
In the box next door, the third prince poured a cup of tea for the eighth princess: "Princess Mingyu please use tea."
"Thank you, Your Highness." The Eighth Princess's eyes drooped slightly and looked shy.
The third prince's eyes were slightly dark. It would be fine if Princess Mingyu was not as good as Princess Qinghuang, and her words and deeds were also a bit strange.
