The range within the small kitchen was totally outfitted, and she or he and Mom Xue labored collectively to make 4 dishes with none downside. When stewing the rooster, Yaoniang used a fabric dipped in oil to rub across the pot after which took the fermented dough to start out making pancakes across the pot.
“I by no means anticipated niangniang to make use of this technique. Making pancakes this fashion actually showcases one’s abilities,” exclaimed Mom Xue.
“Again at residence, cooking, laundry, and all the opposite family duties needed to be accomplished by myself. However after coming into Jin Wang Manor, there have been others to do that, so my abilities have turn into rusty. The commoner’s households don’t pay a lot consideration to those issues, particularly in chilly climate and restricted house. It’s all about effectivity. If it takes too lengthy, by the point the pancakes are accomplished, the meal can be chilly,” Yaoniang defined.
As Yaoniang spoke to Mom Xue, she tore the dough into small items with out rolling them right into a flatbread form. She merely moist her fingers with chilly water and pressed the dough onto the pot to flatten it.
In reality, it was extra correct to say that this technique created flatbread and never pancakes.
Quickly, a circle of pancakes surrounded the perimeters of the pot, and Yaoniang lined the pot with the lid.
After some time, she lifted the lid, and the corn pancakes had been cooked. She eliminated the pancakes from the perimeters of the pot and continued to stay extra pancakes. She did this two extra occasions, making a complete of two giant plates of corn pancakes.
Yaoniang picked up a chunk of pancake, blowing on it because it was scalding scorching. She tasted the one with pumpkin after which the one with sheep’s milk. She was about to let Mom Xue and the others style them when she instantly observed that it was very quiet round her.

Standing in entrance of Emperor Jin’an in his dragon gown, she couldn’t assist feeling a way of self-consciousness and disgrace.
As if making an attempt to cowl it up, she smiled and requested, “Why has Your Majesty come? Are you not busy with state affairs in the present day?”
Emperor Jin’an remained detached as normal, with no change in his expression. “No, so Zhen got here again early in the present day.”
The Emperor Emeritus smiled and stated, “Alright, it’s getting late, Zhen gained’t preserve you. It’s chilly, so return and relaxation early. Li Dequan will escort the younger prince again to Yangxin Corridor.”
“Grandfather Emperor ought to relaxation early too. Your grandson takes his go away.”
After the meal, Emperor Jin’an had the 2 youngsters taken away. As a substitute of attending to his memorials, he accompanied Yaoniang to learn a e-book on the massive kang mattress.
Yaoniang hadn’t completed studying two pages when he grabbed the e-book and threw it apart, then he referred to as for somebody to come back in to assist them put together for mattress. What else may she not perceive?
Behind the intense yellow curtain, two individuals entwined.
Tonight, Emperor Jin’an was exceptionally enthusiastic, with a very tantalizing ardour. Maybe it was as a result of Emperor Jin’an had been busy currently, and every time he was within the temper at evening, it was all the time rushed, like a storm. However in the present day, he exuded a peaceful and unhurried aura, regular and composed.
He was composed, however Yaoniang was fairly flustered. Nevertheless, she couldn’t ask something of him, so she may solely endure the suffocating tenderness by burying her face within the quilt.
He didn’t enable it and forcefully turned her over to kiss her mouth. Beads of sweat fell, dripping onto her shoulders and neck. The sweat soaked the sheets, and Yaoniang felt a suffocating sensation of being unable to breathe.
“Are you uneasy?”
She was already dazed, when Emperor Jin’an instantly spoke. Yaoniang was momentarily surprised.
“I-I’m not… not…”
“Don’t overthink it. These issues don’t have anything to do with you.”
“I’m not overthinking.” She spoke with some guilt, not totally trustworthy.
Emperor Jin’an reached out and touched her face. The sweat on it belonged to each of them.
He moved downward, and she or he bit her decrease lip calmly.
He kissed her, urgent towards her lips, mumbling, “You’re you. No want to alter, no must please anybody intentionally, no want to fret about these meaningless issues. Every part is in Zhen’s fingers.”
“Mmm…”
