"Mama Lin, you woke up so early today!" Yu Shuang got up early and bowed to Mama Lin when she saw her.

"Yes, the palace is assigning new people today. I'm going to pick one back.

I walk slowly, so it's better for me to go there early. "

Mama Lin said. She received such a large sum of money yesterday. If something went wrong, she didn't know how to explain it to that person.

"New people? Didn't you say that you don't plan to recruit new people this year?" Yu Shuang asked.

Mama Lin thought for a while and said to Yu Shuang, "You saw it yesterday. Gonggong Yuanfu came to me.

In fact, he asked me to take care of his distant relatives. He wants them to come here.

Yuan Fu is the Crown Prince's favorite, so I can't refuse him.

You should keep this matter to yourself and don't tell anyone else. Help Nanny take care of it. "

"I know, Mama. I won't tell anyone." Yu Shuang knew that Mama Lin trusted her, so she replied.

"Mama, have you had breakfast?"

"It's too late. Wait for me to come back.

Yu Shuang, help me tidy up the single room next to my room and change the bedding and other things.

This time, it's a Shuang 'er, so it's not convenient for her to live with you. "

Yu Shuang, Yu Chang, and Yu Ling lived in the same room. Although there was another bed, it was obviously not suitable for them to live together.

"Yes, Mama.

Go ahead. I'll tidy it up. "

Mama Lin arrived at Xi Li Palace just after seven o 'clock in the morning. She didn't dare to stop on the way.

"Mama Lin, why are you here?" Xi Mama stepped forward to support her. She knew Mama Lin.

"I know that the people here are trained by Xi Mama, so I'm going to pick someone to bring back. I've been a little busy recently.

I'm sure she'll be a good teacher, "Mama Lin complimented Xi Mama.

"Haha, who doesn't know you're Mama Lin? Send someone to inform me.

I'll just send her over directly. There's no need for you to make a trip here. "Xi Mama knew that Mother Lin was from the Empress's palace, so she didn't dare to offend her.

"I haven't started assigning them yet. Mama Lin, you go first."

"How can I accept that? Haha." Mama Lin didn't refuse and looked at the three rows of palace attendants behind Xi Mama.

Lin Jiabao was small, so he was in the first row.

Those big, watery eyes and a pair of dimples were easy to recognize.

Xi Mama saw that Mama Lin kept looking at Lin Jiabao.

"Mama Lin, that's a good place to go. It's a blessing to be chosen."

Mama Lin pointed at Lin Jiabao's row and said, "Each of you, tell me your names and how old are you?"

"Anping, let's start with you," Xi Mama said to the first person in the line.

Soon, it was Lin Jiabao's turn. "I'm Lin Anzhu. I'm 12 years old." Lin Jiabao was now called Lin Anzhu. They were all from the An generation.

"Your surname is also Lin. What a coincidence!

Do you know how to cook? "Mama Lin asked.

"Mama, I know a little," Lin Jiabao replied.

"Haha, then I'll take this one.

I won't pick anymore. Xi Mama, I've delayed you for so long. You can continue with the arrangements. "Mama Lin waved at Lin Jiabao to come over.

"It's okay. I didn't delay you. Mama Lin, do you want to pick another one?" Xi Mama asked kindly.

"No need. I still have something to do. I'll go back now.

You go ahead with your work. Thank you. "Mama Lin waved her hand.

"Mama Lin, take care." Xi Mama registered Lin Anzhu's destination and let him go with Mama Lin.

The palace attendants who stayed behind all watched them leave with envy and jealousy.

After leaving Xi Li Palace, Mama Lin carefully looked at Lin Anzhu who was following her. "Anzhu, what's your real name?

Where are you from?

Where do you live? "

"Mama, my real name is Lin Jiabao. I'm from Pei County. My home is in the Lin Family Village not far from Pei County." Lin Jiabao was now called Lin Anzhu, but he still liked the name his parents gave him.

However, Xi Mama said that Anzhu was elegant and pleasant to the ear.

"Jia Bao, it's a good name.

However, there are rules in the palace. From now on, you can only be called Anzhu. "Mama Lin checked the information and confirmed that there was no mistake.

"Anzhu understands." Anzhu nodded obediently.

"Good boy!

Don't be afraid. You see, we're both surnamed Lin. It's fate.

We're going to the Imperial Dessert Room in Yongshou Palace. It's a place that specializes in making pastries for Her Majesty Empress. There's not much to do every day.

There are three palace attendants working with you there. They're all very easy to get along with. "

"Mama, I'll study hard and do things seriously." Lin Jiabao raised his small face and said.

"Okay, good boy." Mama Lin patted his head.

After walking down the long palace path, Mama Lin brought Lin Jiabao to the kitchen of the Imperial Dessert Room.

"Mama Lin, you're back." Yu Long stepped forward and looked at Lin Jiabao, who was standing behind Mama Lin.

"Mama, Mama, is this a newcomer?" Yu Ling asked curiously.

"Yes, this is our new palace attendant, Anzhu." Mama Lin introduced Lin Jiabao. "This is Yu Shuang, Yu Long, and Yu Ling."

"Hello, Elder Sister Yu Shuang, Elder Sister Yu Long, and Elder Sister Yu Ling." Lin Jiabao greeted them one by one.

"Haha, I'm finally not the youngest anymore.

Anzhu, how old are you? "Yu Ling asked.

"12 years old." Lin Jiabao looked at Yu Ling with his big eyes.

"12 years old? You're so small and cute!

Oh, you even have dimples. "Yu Ling said as he pinched Lin Jiabao's little face.

"Alright, stop bullying the newcomer. Go do your work.

Yu Shuang, take Anzhu to his room to put down his things and settle him down. "Mama Lin instructed Yu Shuang.

"Yes."

Yu Shuang led Lin Jiabao out of the kitchen and into the room at the back.

He brought him to a single room. "This will be your room from now on.

Put your things away and tell me if you need anything else. "

Lin Jiabao looked at his room. It wasn't big, but it was very clean.

There was a small bed and a wardrobe in the room.

There was also a table and a chair near the window.

There were beautiful patterns on the furniture and everything else was very complete. The bedding was also new.

Lin Jiabao looked at it and said happily: "The room is very good. We don't need anything else."

"Then put your things away. I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment." Yu Shuang said. He also liked Anzhu's obedience.

After familiarizing himself with the environment, Lin Jiabao and Mama Lin ate lunch together. The lunch here was very sumptuous. There was one meat and three vegetables. The taste was also very good.

"We have a kitchen here. We go to the main kitchen to get the ingredients to cook.

It's not like some palaces where the ingredients are cold. "Yu Ling said proudly.

"Anzhu, eat more." Yu Shuang said to Anzhu as he gave him some meat.

"Yes, yes. Thank you, Big Sister Yu Shuang." Lin Jiabao thanked her with stuffed cheeks.

Everyone looked at his cute appearance and laughed.

In the afternoon, Lin Jiabao went to the Imperial Desserts Room.

He washed his hands and watched Mama Lin make desserts.

Mama Lin asked him to watch first. She didn't let him make any moves.

She explained to him as she made the desserts.

Yu Long pulled Yu Shuang to the side. "Look, Anzhu has only been here for a day and she's already better than you."

Yu Long was originally very jealous that Yu Shuang could be taught by Mama Lin. However, she had no choice. Yu Shuang's talent in making desserts was better than hers. She also trusted Yu Shuang.

How did this Anzhu get everyone's attention on her first day here? Mama Lin also attached great importance to Anzhu. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Anzhu's face was an eyesore.

Yu Shuang knew that Yu Long was competitive and didn't care about her provocation.

He focused on his own work.

Yu Long snorted when she saw that Yu Shuang was ignoring her.

Mama Lin was making milkcakes. Yu Ling was helping her.

Lin Jiabao also watched attentively. He carefully memorized the steps of making the desserts.

First, separate the egg yolk from the egg white. Then, add in the sugar and beat until there are no sugar particles.

Then, add milk into the egg yolk and mix well.

Add in the salt and beat the egg white for a while. Then, add in the sugar twice and beat until it foams.

Add the egg white into the egg yolk twice and mix quickly. Don't make any circles.

Brush the petal-shaped model of the milkcake with butter. Then, pat a circle of sugar on it.

Pour the egg mixture into the model until it is 80% full. Then, use your thumb to stick the egg mixture in the model and draw a circle around the model.

Steam it in the steamer for 15 minutes.

"Do you understand? It's not difficult. You just have to make it a few times.

This is one of Empress's favorite desserts. You have to make it often. "Mama Lin asked Anzhu.

"Yes, I've memorized it." Lin Jiabao nodded.

The air in the kitchen was filled with the milky fragrance of the milkcakes. They were ready in a short while.

Yu Ling took them out and placed them on the table to cool. Then, he carefully removed them.

"Be careful when you remove them. Don't break them.

You can't present these desserts that are missing a petal. They have to be perfectly formed and beautiful. "

Yu Ling showed him one of the desserts that was missing a petal. "If they don't look good, we can only eat them ourselves. Haha.

Let's eat them here! "As he spoke, he stuffed the desserts into Anzhu's mouth.

"Don't listen to Yu Ling's nonsense. There's a quota for these ingredients.

If you make too many of them, it won't work. "Mama Lin smiled as she corrected him.

"It smells so good. It's so soft. It's so delicious." Lin Jiabao immediately fell in love with this rich milky fragrance.

His eyes narrowed into crescents.

Lin Jiabao thought that once he learned how to make these desserts, he could make them for his family after he left the palace. They would definitely like them.

In this way, Lin Jiabao gradually adapted to life in the palace.

He was very happy that he was able to stay in the Imperial Desserts Room. The mamas were very good to him, and the palace maids and older sisters took good care of him.

Before he knew it, he had already been in the palace for half a year. In this half a year, he had already learned how to make several types of desserts.

Mama Lin often took him to the Empress's place to deliver desserts. He had even been rewarded a few times.

Sometimes, he would even run into the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. The Crown Prince especially loved desserts and was very generous. He would reward him every time.

Lin Jiabao would save up the money and put it in the embroidered pouch that his Second Sister embroidered for him. Now, he had one tael of silver every month. Lin Jiabao calculated that when he left the palace, he would definitely be able to save up a large sum of money. When he returned, he could build a large house for his family. Just thinking about living together made him very happy.

"Anzhu, are you done packing? Let's go." Mama Lin asked.

Mama Lin was very satisfied with Anzhu's obedient behavior in the past half a year.

After that person's advice, she would bring Anzhu with her every time she went to deliver desserts.

"Yes, Mama." Lin Jiabao came over with the food box.

"Okay, Yu Shuang will come with me. Yu Long and Yu Ling can stay."

Mama Lin gave some instructions and then left with Yu Shuang and Anzhu.

"Mama is becoming more and more biased. She always takes Anzhu to the Empress's place." Yu Long said with jealousy. He had heard that they could often run into the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

"In any case, we'll get a share of the rewards!"

Yu Ling thought indifferently. Of course, she could show her face when she went to the Empress's place, but she was always trembling with fear. It was good that she didn't go.

Yu Long looked at Yu Ling's useless appearance and was too lazy to say anything to her.

In the main hall of the Yongshou Palace, the Empress was chatting with her two sons.

Empress looked at her two sons and her heart was full of pride.

The Eldest Prince, Xuanyuan Hancheng, was the Crown Prince. He was steady and experienced in handling matters. He was often praised by the Emperor for being better than his father.

The Second Prince, Xuanyuan Hanqi, was brave and resolute. He was also deeply loved by the Emperor.

It was because of them that her position in the palace was very firm and unshakable.

The two brothers had deep brotherly love, and Xuanyuan Hanqi worshipped his imperial brother even more.

"I'm so tired today. I'm starving.

The desserts in Imperial Mother's palace are so delicious. "Xuanyuan Hanqi had a straightforward personality. He ate the desserts in big bites.

"Look at you, child. Eat slowly.

There's still a lot left. I'll ask the Imperial Dessert Room to serve more. "Empress looked at the Second Prince lovingly.

"Second Imperial Brother, you can't be so reckless next time.

That General Li is someone who has been on the battlefield. The gap between you two is too big.

You should practice your basic skills first. What if you get injured in a rash competition? "

"Hee hee, I just want to fight with him. He'll let me win anyway." Xuanyuan Hanqi didn't care.

"What's the point of going easy like that? If you really go to the battlefield, the enemy will let you mess around." Second Imperial Brother's personality was really … Thinking back to his previous life …

"I also want to go to the battlefield. Let me go with you this time.

I'm 15 years old. If Imperial Brother was my age, he would have already gone. "

Xuanyuan Hanqi begged.

Xuanyuan Hancheng refused: "You can't!

In the future, you'll have a chance to make a name for yourself. This time, you should stay in the palace and accompany Imperial Father and Imperial Mother.

Imperial Father said that starting next month, you should go to court with him.

You can also learn to help Imperial Father a little. Next year, you can open the palace and get married. "

According to the reports of the spies in the border city, the barbarians were ready to make a move. It was very likely that they would go south.

Recently, he had also been preparing to go to war. He was very confident that he could eliminate the barbarians. However, this time, he wouldn't bring Second Imperial Brother no matter what.

In his previous life, Xuanyuan Hanqi's death was too big of a blow for him, Imperial Father and Imperial Mother. This time, he definitely couldn't take any risks.

"Your Imperial Brother is right. The battlefield isn't a good place.

You're not young anymore. You should share some of the burden with your Imperial Father. "Empress agreed with the Crown Prince's words.

"Okay, okay.

Do you still have desserts?

They're really delicious. "Xuanyuan Hanqi had a headache when he thought of those things. He quickly changed the topic.

"Imperial Mother, let's wait until Second Imperial Brother gets engaged. It'll also make him feel better." Xuanyuan Hancheng said to his Imperial Mother.

In his previous life, Second Imperial Brother died young and didn't leave behind any children.

This time, he hoped that he would be able to marry and have children sooner and change his fate.

"It's still early. I just looked at a few families. Let's wait for your Imperial Father to make a decision." Empress still wanted her second son to get married later.

After all, her eldest son had been poisoned and needed some time to recover.

It wouldn't be good if her second son gave birth to a grandson before her eldest son. She didn't want any misunderstandings between the two brothers.

At this time, Mama Zhou, who was by Empress' side, led Mama Lin, Lin Jiabao, and Yu Shuang into the palace with pastries.

Xuanyuan Hancheng had been staring at Lin Jiabao ever since he came in. His eyes were practically glued to his body.

Lin Jiabao had his head down the entire time, so he didn't notice his gaze.

Fearing that he would be seen through, he picked up a pastry from Lin Jiabao's plate and put it in his mouth. "Mama Lin in Imperial Mother's palace is really a treasure. The pastries and pastries are all delicious.

I miss them if I don't eat them for a few days! "

"If you like them, then come to Imperial Mother's place often. It's not a big deal. You can also send Yuan Fu to Mama Lin's place." Empress was also very satisfied with Mama Lin. "You can go to Mama Zhou's place to receive your reward later."

"Imperial Mother has already rewarded me, so I can't be stingy.

Yuan Fu … "Yuan Fu understood and went forward to reward Mama Lin.

Mama Lin brought Lin Jiabao and Yu Shuang forward to thank her.

Mama Lin, Yu Shuang, and Lin Jiabao returned to the Imperial Pastry Room.

"There are more rewards today. Both Imperial Mother Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince received rewards." Lin Jiabao happily reported the good news.

"Really? I'm so happy!

Anzhu ah, every time you go with Mama Lin, you get a lot of rewards!

You're so lucky. "Yu Ling said happily.

"Hehe, how could that be? It's all thanks to Mama Lin.

Today, His Highness the Crown Prince even praised Mama Lin. "Lin Jiabao was embarrassed by Yu Ling's words.

Mother Lin distributed the rewards she had received.

Imperial Mother Empress rewarded them with silver fruits. Everyone received two.

His Highness the Crown Prince rewarded them with golden melon seeds. Everyone received one each.

The small golden melon seeds were very delicately made. The more Lin Jiabao looked at them, the more he liked them.

This was the third golden melon seed he received. He thought that he would have to ask Big Sister Yu Shuang to make an embroidered pouch for him tonight.

His harvest in the past half year was quite bountiful. His little embroidered pouch almost couldn't hold it all.
