Aren't you being too greedy! We came here to save the child, and now that the child is saved and we have received so much food and a jar of silver, we've already been incredibly lucky. If things had...The Lord couldn't help but laugh, "Of course it's the Longevity Festival. The day after tomorrow, you'll go to the palace for a banquet. Aren't you going to prepare a birthday cake at the pastry shop tomorrow and stay at the Hou Mansion tonight"

"Oh my, I forgot!" Jia Yin exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise.

I've been having way too much fun these days, so busy that I even forgot about this huge thing when I was doing homework on space at night.

The lord led her hand, entered the house and paid respects to Old Madam Li. After a brief few instructions, he returned to his own courtyard.

Madam Jia Er was originally accompanying Li Lao Tai doing needlework and chatting, when she saw this, she guessed that the Marquis would have lunch here, so she wanted to take Baoyu to say goodbye quickly.

Although Baozhu had eaten her fill, she couldn't bear to part with Jia Yin.

Jia Yin then said, "Didn't you say that Wan’er sister's younger brother always wanted to play in Baiyun Tomorrow I will be staying at the shop for most of the day. Why don't you bring him over to play"

"Really That's wonderful!" Baozhu was easily pleased and, overjoyed, bid her mother farewell and hurried to her uncle's house to tell her cousin the good news.

Wan'er put down her bowl of soup and went back to the Wen family.

Thus, the meal was ready, and Shui Ling went to invite the Lord over.

Among family, there's no need to be so reserved.

Even though Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si, along with their brothers, were not at home, Li Laotai sat in the main seat. Tao Hongying and Wenjuan sat on one side, while Jia Yin and Houye sat on the other, creating a lively atmosphere as they ate and chatted.

Old Mrs. Li was worried that her granddaughter would be bullied in the palace, so she had constantly reminded the Marquis about it.

The Marquis patiently answered each question, leaving Lady Li feeling embarrassed in the end.

"Master, please don't think I'm nagging. It's just that Fu'er suffered a loss in the palace last time, and our family is too worried about her."

"If it weren't for the Emperor treating Funiang so well, and her having the title of a Princess, her family truly wouldn't want her to enter the palace."

The Lord nodded and said, “Don’t worry, aunt. The day after tomorrow, I will take Funiu to see the Emperor first, and then ask the Emperor to send an eunuch to follow her to Shoukang Palace. In this way, even if someone has ill intentions, they dare not make things difficult for Funiu.”

"Good, that's best." Old Madam Li replied, "I'll have He Mama follow into the palace later. She was born in the palace and is more familiar with its rules than others."

"Grandmother He was just attending to her, so she immediately replied, "Madam wouldn't tell me, old servant would also take the initiative to ask."

"But rest assured, Madam Dowager, the Young Lady's conduct is excellent. She has also memorized all the family trees and I believe she will be able to handle minor matters adequately."

"If Madam still isn't at ease, then let Shuiling and Suiyun accompany her as well. This old servant can take this opportunity to chat with old sisters in the palace, hear about any taboos from the past year and a half, and help the young mistress avoid them."

"Alright, you're familiar with this, so I leave it to you to arrange it." Lao Li directly delegated the task and instructed: "Later, you can also help take a look at what Funiu wears for a dress and what jewelry.

After all, it's a palace banquet. Our family doesn't want to be too ostentatious and draw attention, but we also can't be too shabby and looked down upon.

"Yes, Grandmother." He Mam smiled and replied.

Having such a lead, after the meal, the Marquis went home.

The Li family had shut the doors, and the girls huddled together, giggling and whispering as they made preparations.

A month ago, the steward of Hou's mansion had the embroiderers prepare new gowns for the county princess.

There are four in total, hanging in the wardrobe.

Each set is the meticulous handiwork of a skilled embroiderer, leaving everyone awestruck.

In the end, it was the old woman who made the decision. She chose a goose-yellow satin slanted collar waistcoat, paired with a fruit green pleated skirt and a pair of deer-skin boots trimmed with gold thread.

A white fox fur cloak would be just perfect.

Because Jiayin is still young, she shouldn't wear too many or too flashy pieces of jewelry.

So, wearing a golden hairpin adorned with red coral pearls in a coiled vine design on your head and a lucky six auspicious red gold lock on your chest would be perfect.

At the request of everyone, Jiayin put on her clothes and jewelry. Even Grandma He skillfully restyled her hair.

Li Laotai and Tao Hongying, along with others, thoroughly searched the fat girl from head to toe, ensuring they missed nothing before feeling satisfied.

Jia, the model's voice was tossed around for most of the afternoon, she could finally clock out.

She lay on the kang pretending to be dead, not even wanting to lift a finger.

Tao Hongying smiled and tapped her daughter's head, saying reproachfully, "Stop being a rascal! You just need to stand there and be a scarecrow, everything else is taken care of. You don't even get tired doing that. It's fine at home, but when you go out, you have to behave yourself."

"You've already lost face, and it doesn't matter that our Li family is from humble origins; we're not afraid of people saying our children are unruly. But this time you went with the Marquis, so you can't embarrass him, understand"

"The title of Marquis was earned at the cost of one's life. You cannot add to his glory, nor can you tarnish his reputation!"

"Understood, Mother!" Jiayin nuzzled her mother's neck, acting cute and spoiled for once. "Oh, my mother is truly so wise! No wonder she raised such a good daughter like me!"

Tao Hongying was laughing non-stop and patted her daughter's arm, "Are you praising me or yourself!"

Everyone burst into laughter, chatting idly while their attendants busied themselves straightening their clothes and jewelry.

Outside, the cold wind howled, and the night was deep, but inside, it was warm and cozy...

The next morning, the Marquis took Jia Yin on a carriage and went straight into the city.

Li La Er and Mr. Wen have been very busy these days and didn't come back last night.

So, the carriage delivered the good news to Baiyun Temple, and then the Marquis went to the Ministry of War.

Chen Xi and Peng Zhanggui these two days, waiting for the master hope their eyes almost sent to the city gate.

At long last, they saw their master. They hurried forward to greet him and inquire about his well-being.

Speaking of it, they had made small cakes before and even sent them to the Emperor, but this birthday cake was different.

Six floors, a whole six floors!

Chen Hsi-kuang designed seven or eight versions of the drawings!

Jiayin doesn't really care about the pattern or meaning of the cake because any version would definitely be festive.

She is more concerned about safety issues.

Such a big cake, Uncle Huang would definitely be happy to see it, and naturally he would share it with everyone at the banquet.

If something goes wrong after eating, it's going to be a problem.

Actually, the best way to avoid trouble is not to send cakes or other edible items.

Unfortunately, Baiyunjian's fame is so widespread that the birthdate cake has become a sensation known to everyone.

When the emperor, this big household, celebrates his birthday, it's simply not done to have a single dish missing from the table!

Luckily, she had the cheat device of space!

The front yard of the small courtyard is a static space. Whatever you put in, when you take it out, it's always the same.

Jia Yin thought for a moment, then said: "Master Chen, why don't you make two six-layer cakes to practice your skills first Of course, the materials are hard to come by, so it's better to do them well. Let's see the effect first."

If there are no problems, do it the same way tomorrow morning and send it directly to the palace.

"Yes, master," Chen Xi quickly replied.

Jia Yin again instructed Peng, the shop manager, "Stop here for today. But tomorrow's ingredients must be strictly checked; not a single mistake is allowed. Otherwise, everyone will lose their heads!"

"The master and the apprentices in the courtyard are not allowed to leave their workroom tonight. After delivering the cake to the palace tomorrow, they can resume their normal activities."

"Yes, Master, please rest assured. I have saved them. Yesterday, I didn't let everyone go home, they were all staying in the shop."

Peng Zhanggui was originally a royal servant, but he had heard too many stories about trouble caused by food.

So, ever since he knew his shop was going to send a birthday cake to the palace, he had been putting in one hundred and twenty thousand percent of his effort…mpossible for several guards to get close.Even, while enduring a stab wound on his back, he pulled out an opening and leaped onto the wall…Seeing the charcoal seller about to flee the yard, several g...
