Although Mo Xiao's gift was not thoughtful enough, Lin Qingqing still treasured it and kept it, and asked Lian'er to register it one by one to make sure not to miss a single one.

After dealing with the rewards, Lin Qingqing suddenly remembered the box of cakes that Mo Xiao had personally sent. After hesitating for a moment, she said to Lian'er, "Go and get the cakes from the kitchen."

Seeing her expression, Lian'er whispered to her, "Your Highness has never liked sour food since she was a child. Why force yourself? His Majesty has left now. Whether you eat the cake or not, he won't see it."

Lin Qingqing took a deep breath and said, "This cake was given to me by His Majesty himself. How can I let it down? It's just sour. Just because I didn't like it when I was young doesn't mean I can't eat it now."

After a pause, he added: "Besides, if I eat it a few more times, I might get used to the taste."

Seeing that she insisted, Lian'er didn't know what to say and could only go to the kitchen to bring the box of pastries.

The kitchen had preserved it carefully, and the pastries were still warm when they were served.

Lin Qingqing stared at the pastry for a moment, and finally took the risk, picked up one and stuffed it into her mouth. The sour taste immediately filled her mouth, making her saliva flow wildly, and even tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Lian'er: "My Lady, please stop eating."

Lin Qingqing forced herself to swallow it down, and said vaguely: "It's okay, I'll eat another piece, maybe I'll get used to it slowly."

As she spoke, she endured the sour taste and stuffed another piece into her mouth. She opened her mouth and chewed it twice, and when she was about to swallow it, she suddenly bent over and vomited out everything she had eaten.

Lian Er was startled and shouted, "Someone come!"

The palace maids rushed forward to serve her, feeding her water and wiping her mouth. It took a while for Lin Qingqing to recover.

Lian'er looked at Lin Qingqing, whose face was covered with tears, with concern: "My queen, what's wrong? Do you want to call the imperial physician?"

"No!" Lin Qingqing immediately shook her head and grabbed Lian'er's wrist. "What should I tell the imperial physician when he arrives? Can I say that I can't get used to the food given by His Majesty and vomited? If this gets out, I will be accused of being disrespectful to His Majesty again."

Lian'er: "But my lady, you..."

"I'm fine," Lin Qingqing took the teacup and took a sip of tea, suppressing the sour taste in her mouth, "Just let me take it easy."

Lian'er couldn't do anything with her and could only stroke her back slowly and slowly so that Lin Qingqing could feel a little more comfortable.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Qingqing returned to normal. She turned around and saw the cakes on the table. She almost vomited again.

Lian'er was quick to cover the food box, blocking out the smell and preventing Lin Qingqing from seeing the pastries to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable.

The corners of Lin Qingqing's eyes were a little red, she covered her mouth with her hands, and her brows were tightly furrowed.

Lian'er looked at the food box and whispered, "Madam, what should we do with these cakes?"

Lin Qingqing frowned, and after a while, she said, "I...I'll take my time. I'll eat after I feel better."

Lian'er's expression suddenly became a little ugly. For the first time, she did not listen to Lin Qingqing directly, but said seriously: "My queen, don't you want your own body anymore? You just had a serious illness, how can you withstand such torment now?"

Lin Qingqing felt a little guilty and said softly, "But, but this is a reward from His Majesty..."

"You have already eaten, madam. You have already expressed your respect to His Majesty. Why don't you give the rest to us servants?"
