The way to make Qiao Guo was to first melt the white sugar into a syrup in a pot, then mix in flour and sesame seeds. After mixing them well, spread them out on a table and let them cool. Then, cut them into cubes with a knife, fold them into spindle shapes, and fry them until golden brown.

Although it wasn't difficult to make, it required a lot of work. Lin Jiabao and the others had been busy since early in the morning.

"Anzhu, don't be busy. Come with me to deliver the bird's nest cakes to Empress Empress." Mama Lin handed a food box to Anzhu.

"Yes.

Mama, I'll come right away. "Lin Jiabao put down his work and went to wash his hands.

"Mama Lin, take me with you." Yu Long begged Mama Lin.

Today was the Qiao Qiao Festival, so she specially wore the beautiful embroidered pouch she had worked on for a long time.

She hoped to show her face in front of Empress Empress.

"There's no need for that. Anzhu will go with me.

You three should hurry up and make Qiao Guo. "Mama Lin ignored her request. How could she not know what Yu Long was thinking?

Yu Long watched as Mama Lin left with Anzhu and felt indignant.

When Mama Lin brought Anzhu to the main hall of Yong Shou Palace, she saw Mama Zhou waiting outside.

"Mama Lin, you're finally here. Empress Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince are both here. They're waiting for your desserts." Mama Zhou gave Mama Lin a meaningful look.

"This must be Anzhu. I heard from Mama Lin that your skills are pretty good now."

Mama Zhou looked at Anzhu with a smile. She was very satisfied with his appearance and thought that she should be able to complete her task.

"Hello, Mama Zhou." Lin Jiabao went up to greet Mama Zhou and smiled shyly at her praise.

Mama Lin was walking in front. Suddenly, she bent down and clutched her stomach. "Aiyo, why does my stomach suddenly hurt … …"

Lin Jiabao nervously helped Mama Lin up. "Mama, what's wrong?"

"Aiyo, my stomach suddenly doesn't feel good. Aiyo … … Anzhu, you and Mama Zhou should go in.

It's rude of me to meet Empress Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince like this, "Mama Lin said to Anzhu.

"Then what about you, Nanny? Are you alright?" Lin Jiabao asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. I'll just go to the washroom.

Quickly. "Mama Zhou, Mama, Mama Lin Jiu, Mama Zhou, Mama

"Yes." Lin Jiabao carried the food box and went into the main hall with Mama Zhou.

Empress and the Crown Prince were sitting and talking in the main hall. When Empress saw Anzhu come in with the snacks, Lin Jiabao went up and knelt down to greet him.

"Anzhu of the Imperial Desserts Room greets Empress Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need for formalities." Empress looked at him carefully.

Just like Mama Zhou said, he was a pleasant-looking child.

Empress saw the magpie-shaped pastry on the plate. "What kind of pastry is this?

It's very suitable for the occasion. "

"Replying to Empress Empress, this is bird's nest cake.

It's made with malt sugar, crushed bird's nest, sugar, and pastry powder. It tastes sweet.

Today is the Qiqiao Festival, so I specially used a magpie-shaped pastry, "Lin Jiabao answered carefully.

Empress saw that he answered in an orderly manner and wasn't flustered or timid, so her impression of him improved.

Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Lin Jiabao's obedient little face. "How long have you been in the palace? What do you think of the palace? Are you used to it?"

"Replying to His Highness the Crown Prince, Anzhu has been in the palace for more than a year.

He's already used to life in the palace.

The palace is very good. I've also learned how to make snacks from Mama Lin. "

Xuanyuan Hancheng asked again, "Where are you from?

Where do you live?

Who else is in your family?

Do you have brothers and sisters? "

"Anzhu is from Pei County in Xuzhou. His home is in the Lin Family Village, not far from Pei County.

He has parents, an older brother, two older sisters, and a younger brother and younger sister, "Lin Jiabao answered truthfully.

Xuanyuan Hancheng actually knew everything that Lin Jiabao said.

Looking at his baby's small mouth opening and closing as he spoke, his heart was burning with passion.

"Your family's heirs are flourishing, very good." Xuanyuan Hancheng emphasized the words "flourishing heirs" as he spoke with a deeper meaning.

When Empress heard the crown prince's words, she nodded in satisfaction. "Your mother is blessed."

"Haha, you're also blessed. Take this. This is your reward." Xuanyuan Hancheng handed a jade pendant to Lin Jiabao.

Lin Jiabao looked at the jade pendant and was stunned.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is rewarding you. Hurry up and thank him." Mama Zhou tugged at Anzhu.

"Thank you, His Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Jiabao took the jade pendant and smiled sweetly.

This was the first time he had received a reward alone.

Empress and Mama Zhou looked at each other. They knew that the crown prince was satisfied.

"Today's pastries are very good. Mama Zhou, take him down to receive his reward."

"Yes."

Empress was relieved when she saw the crown prince's satisfied expression. "This is it, then."

"Yes, Mother Empress, it's him.

Thank you, Mother Empress, for finding such a good person.

He's a bit young, but he's easier to train. "Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at his mother gratefully.

"It's good that you like it. I'll mention it to your Imperial Father later. If there are no problems, I'll issue an imperial decree."

Lin Jiabao came out of the main hall of Eternal Longevity Palace. When he saw Mama Lin waiting there, he quickly walked over.

"Mama, are you feeling better?"

"I'm much better.

How about you?

Are you afraid to go alone? "Mama Lin asked.

"I'm not afraid.

Today, Her Highness Empress praised the pastries for making good pastries!

Her Highness Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince also asked me a lot of questions.

Mama, this is a reward from Her Highness Empress, and this jade pendant is a reward from His Highness the Crown Prince. "Lin Jiabao gave the bag of silver that Mama Zhou gave him as a reward to Mama Lin. He also showed her the jade pendant.

Mama Lin looked at the jade pendant and returned it to him.

"His Highness the Crown Prince gave it to you. You should keep it well."

After Empress mentioned it to the emperor, the emperor also felt that this method was feasible.

He immediately sent people to investigate Lin Anzhu's family background. In less than two days.

They investigated Lin Anzhu's life from childhood to adulthood, everyone in his family, relatives, neighbors, and so on. They even investigated the situation of his ancestors clearly.

"Zitong, this time the candidate is good." The emperor praised. The Lin family had been farmers for generations and had a clean background.

This year, the eldest brother of the Lin family had passed the county level examination. His results were excellent, and it was very likely that he would pass the provincial level examination next year.

The emperor always liked talented people. "He will also be an official in the future. His background is not too bad."

"Yes, Your Majesty.

This family really had a lot of children.

Look, the Chang Clan is really lucky to have a pair of twins. "Empress was also very satisfied.

"Look, Zitong, the eldest daughter of the Lin family also gave birth to a pair of twins last year." The emperor was also very satisfied.

"It would be great if they could also give birth to a pair of twins for our Cheng'er." Empress sighed.

The emperor thought that the Xuanyuan dynasty's royal family had never given birth to a pair of twins.

"If they can really give birth to a pair of twins, I will definitely reward him heavily. Haha!"

Empress took a look. The fifth of August was a good day.

She asked the mama to arrange it.

That evening, Empress's imperial decree broke the silence in the imperial point room.

Lin Jiabao was stunned when he heard Empress's imperial decree.

"Anzhu, quickly express your gratitude.

Tomorrow morning, a mama will come to pick you up. "Mama Zhou personally came to read Empress's imperial decree.

"Thank you, Empress, for your grace." Lin Jiabao's little face was pale as he knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Mama Zhou, look at this child. He's so happy. Haha." Mama Lin helped Anzhu up and said to Mama Zhou with a smile.

Mama Zhou didn't mind. Before she left, she kindly reminded them, "Tidy up well tonight. Don't let the mama wait tomorrow."

After Mama Zhou and the person who came to deliver the imperial decree left.

Lin Jiabao suddenly cried.

"Mama, I'm scared …" Lin Jiabao said as he burst into tears.

Yu Shuang and the other two also surrounded him. They congratulated him and told him not to cry.

"This is great news. Why are you crying? Other people can't even ask for this!" Yu Long said sourly.

Yu Ling patted Yu Long. "Don't say anymore. Look at how sad Anzhu is crying."

"Mama, will I never be able to leave the palace in the future?

Boohoo … "Lin Jiabao didn't know what he had to do as the crown prince's personal attendant, but he vaguely felt that he would never be able to leave the palace again.

"I miss my family so much. I want to leave the palace and reunite with them. They're all waiting for me!" Lin Jiabao cried until he was out of breath.

"Anzhu, don't cry.

You'll be the crown prince's person in the future. Good days are ahead.

It's not certain that you won't be able to leave the palace. It's not certain that you won't be able to see your family. "Mama Lin comforted him as she stroked his back.

"That's right, Anzhu.

Don't cry. You're hurting your eyes. "Yu Shuang also gently comforted him. She reached out and poured a cup of tea for Anzhu. When she touched the teapot, she found that it was cold.

"Yu Long, help me add some hot water."

"Anzhu, listen to Mama Lin.

This is the Empress's imperial decree. It can't be changed.

You can only accept it. If you refuse, not only will you lose your life, but you'll also implicate your family.

Think about it. "Mama Lin sternly said to him.

"Sob sob sob sob … Nanny, I understand.

Boohoo … "Lin Jiabao also knew that Mama Lin was right, but he couldn't stop his tears.

Yu Long walked over with a tray. She placed the teapot on it and went to boil water. The more she thought about it, the more jealous she became.

Why did Anzhu have such a good life?

Wasn't it because Mama Lin often brought him to show his face to the Empress? If she brought him, perhaps he would be the one lucky today!

The more Yu Long thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. She looked at the boiling water and a vicious thought appeared in her mind. If Anzhu's face was ruined …

"Here's the tea."

Yu Long carefully walked forward with a tray filled with boiling water. When she walked in front of Anzhu, she pretended to accidentally tilt her body and splashed the tea on Anzhu's face.

"Ah!

Be careful. "Everyone pulled Anzhu away.

Lin Jiabao also subconsciously blocked it with his hand.

"Anzhu, are you okay? Are you scalded anywhere?" Mama Lin looked at Lin Anzhu nervously.

"Mama, my hand hurts." The back of Lin Jiabao's right hand was red and swollen.

"Quickly rinse it with cold water and bring some ointment for burns." Mama Lin pulled Anzhu to the sink.

"I'll go get the ointment!" Yu Ling quickly ran out.

Mama Lin saw Yu Long fall on the ground and slapped her.

"Yu Long, what are you doing!"

Yu Long covered her face in disbelief. Mama Lin had never hit her before. "Mama, I … I didn't do it on purpose. I sprained my ankle." Yu Long said in a choked voice.

Mama Lin was an old mama in the palace. How could she not distinguish between a fall and a fake fall?

This Yu Long actually had such evil thoughts. She probably couldn't be allowed to live …

Yu Shuang, who was helping Anzhu wash the water, also looked at Yu Long with disappointment.

"Here's the ointment for burns." Yu Ling ran back with the ointment.

Mama Lin carefully applied the ointment to Anzhu. Fortunately, the injury wasn't serious. It was just a little red and swollen, but there were no blisters.

"Anzhu, mama will go with you and help you tidy up. You can't move your hand, so you should rest early. Don't think too much." Mama Lin pulled Anzhu away.

"Mama, I'll help you too." Yu Shuang also followed them. She didn't even look at Yu Long, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Mama, I'll help too …" Yu Ling also quickly followed.

Although Yu Ling was childish, she wasn't stupid. She clearly splashed the pot of hot tea on Anzhu's face.

Thinking about it made her angry. How could Yu Long do that!

In the inner study of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, Xuanyuan Hancheng's eyes instantly turned cold when he heard that Lin Jiabao had burned her hand.

When he heard that the injury wasn't serious, he was slightly relieved.

"Yuan Fu, have you instructed the mama?" Xuanyuan Hancheng asked Yuan Fu.

"Your Highness, I've already spoken to the two mamas."

"Go again and send the top grade ointment over." Xuanyuan Hancheng ordered Yuan Fu.

"Yes." Yuan Fu retreated.

Xuanyuan Hancheng then summoned the Shadow Guard. "Tell Mama Lin to deal with that palace maid.

If she doesn't want to do it, then help her. "

Anyone who hurt his darling would have to pay the price.

Outside the study, a guard reported, "Mama Qiu requests an audience."

"Let her in." Mama Qiu was the nanny in charge of his mother's palace. She was nearly forty years old.

She was strict, experienced, and swift in her actions.

It was all thanks to her that the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace could be so clean.

Because of her, the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace's backyard became much more peaceful.

Ever since the Crown Princess became "ill," Xuanyuan Hancheng handed over the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace's backyard to her.

"Greetings, Your Highness. This old servant has come to ask for your instructions.

Which backyard should Her Highness Empress arrange for Young Mistress Lin to live in? "Mama Qiu kowtowed to the Crown Prince and then explained her purpose.

"Don't arrange for her to be in the backyard. Let's put her in Pingle Park.

Have someone redecorate the main hall. "

Xuanyuan Hancheng had already made plans. Pingle Park was closer to his inner study. He had been living here since his rebirth, so it was quieter.

The surrounding scenery was also good, and it was further away from the backyard.

Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't want those women to get close to his darling.

"Decorate the bedroom to make it more festive. Also, choose two palace maids and eunuchs with better qualifications. Also, in Pingle Park, use the small kitchen in the inner study." Xuanyuan Hancheng continued to instruct.

When Mama Qiu heard this, she understood that this Young Mistress Lin wasn't ordinary.

She had a plan in mind. In the future, she would have to pay more attention to this Young Mistress.
