I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

The next day, Bai Zhi received the milk and was so excited that she was eager to try it. Not for anything else, just because the prince’s birthday is coming.

Bai Zhi struggled with the gift-giving issue for a long time. She really couldn't think of anything that could make this stoic rich prince's heart move. The things in this world are boring to him, so he needs to find something novel!

So Bai Zhi thought of making a birthday cake. Although this thing is already standard for modern people, it still seemed very original to fool the ancients.

What a coincidence, yesterday I helped deliver a baby and got milk. The raw materials have come by themselves, so if you don’t want to do it, you have to do it!

After finishing the affairs of the palace, Bai Zhi got into her newly built kitchen, which had a large jade countertop, several large and small stoves, and a stone kiln that could be used to roast chicken, duck, and bake bread.

Touching the countertop made of jade, Bai Zhi called it extravagant and inhumane! He originally just asked the prince what kind of material has high hardness, does not stick to flour, and is not easy to be stained with oil. As a result, Meng Ying directly told her to use jade and asked craftsmen to polish it until it was crystal clear. Although it was not a peerless jade, it was a luxury that ordinary people could not achieve.

The milk delivered is fresh. It was milked just this morning from a small pasture in the suburbs. People in Chenjing don't like to eat this fishy stuff, maybe they haven't discovered its wonderful uses. Then let her show off her talents!

However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

For baking, temperature, humidity, materials, proportions, and time are all decisive factors.

I spent a lot of money to buy isinglass and make my own whipped cream, but failed repeatedly due to temperature issues.

After finally solving the temperature problem, whipping cream became a difficult task again. Bai Zhi, with her thin arms and thin legs, naturally cannot bear this task.

So this task fell on Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang was full of confidence at first. When it comes to physical strength and speed, no one can match him. As a result, Bai Zhi failed many times. Over the course of the day, Xiao Yang's smile gradually faded, and he could only sigh inwardly that he was still too young to feel that he could do anything.

The next day, after baking the cake and whipping the egg whites, Xiao Yang felt like he couldn't lift his hands. But I still have to smile and act like I am strong and I have no problem.

As expected, today's Bai Zhi also failed many times. This failure made Bai Zhi want to smash the bowl. Do you have to eat this crappy birthday cake? Wouldn’t it be delicious to eat some flatbread and steamed buns? Can’t celebrate your birthday without eating?

After giving up on herself, Bai Zhi picked up the bowl on the ground again, looked at the failed materials, and chuckled, failure is the mother of success! This is what our ancestors said!

After summing up her experience and lessons, she invited the chefs who had just arrived in the house to observe and taste the dishes together.

Although Bai Zhi failed many times, there is still one good thing, that is, everyone in the palace, including Xiao Mushroom, has more or less eaten the not-so-perfect cake. Although this level is not perfect for Angelica dahurica, for people who have never eaten it, it is unprecedentedly delicious.

So after two days of real kitchen fighting, Bai Zhi finally got a fluffy and sweet cake embryo, and milky and mellow whipped cream.

Just waiting for tomorrow, the prince’s birthday, to show off his talents!

Meng Ying, on the other hand, felt very distressed during the past few days when Bai Zhi didn't come to see him.

He stood alone in the cold night wind, looking at the moonlit sky, sighing from time to time. He didn't know whether he should go find her.

The trajectory of his life had been decided four years ago. He thought that in this life he would hold the power of the Mei family and be a chess piece to suppress the Zhuo family, living alone in this bamboo forest.

Atoning for sins day by day, praying night by night.

Meng Ying knew that she was not far away, and as long as he looked for her, she would definitely be there.

But he was afraid, afraid that this was a kind of restraint and a yoke. He was also afraid that if she saw her true self, she would run away.

He could resist touching her, but he never wanted to see her disappointed look on him.

Just thinking about such a thing was enough to make him fall into the icy abyss.

So Meng Ying meditated under the moon for a night while her thoughts were distracted.

When I woke up in the morning, my legs were already numb and my shirt was a little damp. A secret guard appeared behind him and handed him a note. Meng Ying slowly unfolded it, and only a few words were written on it.

"Let's get together at Yingxue Village at noon. Father."

Meng Ying had no expression on her face, burned the note in her hand, went back to her house, changed into some clean clothes, and went to Ying Xuezhuang, which was written in the letter.

This made the longevity noodles cooked by Bai Zhi come to nothing.

"Why is he like this! I didn't even say a word when I went out. Isn't this all in vain!" Bai Zhi stood at the door of Yuanchen Residence and cursed angrily.

Shi Qi nodded and bowed at the door, "Princess, don't be angry, the prince has something wrong!"

"Where did he go? When will he come back? Why didn't you follow him to protect him?"

Bai Zhi's three consecutive questions made Shi Qi stunned. She hesitated and said: "I...I don't know where the prince has gone. It's not like the prince tells me everything...I I don’t even know when he will come back..."

"Your Majesty, he won't let me follow him. I also want to protect him..." Qi Qi was anxious and felt extremely aggrieved. He thought the prince didn't take him with him because he didn't like him.

This pitiful look made Bai Zhi heartbroken, "I, I'm not blaming you, I'm blaming that person named Meng Ying. It's none of your business, be good!"

After coaxing Shi Qihao for a while, Bai Zhi sat at the door of Yuanchen Residence with a fierce look on her face and finished the bowl of longevity noodles. Then he went to get the birthday cake angrily.

On the way, she was worried that if Meng Ying didn't come back today, she wouldn't be able to eat the cake, so she asked Xiao Yang, "Do you know where he went?"

Xiao Yang sighed helplessly, he didn't want to lie to Bai Zhi, "Uh, I know."

"I know but I can't say it. Right?" Bai Zhi was a little frustrated. She picked off a leaf and folded it again and again in her hands.

"Ah."

"Hey, when will he come back? Can I have cake today?"

"According to previous years, we usually return at the right time and don't stay overnight."

"You mean this happens every year? Then why didn't you remind me?" Bai Zhi turned around and stood in front of Xiao Yang, pointing at his chest, frowning, extremely angry.

"I...forgot..." Xiao Yang said humbly. He didn't expect that the prince would run away by himself, not even taking the princess with him.

Seeing Xiao Yang's apologetic look, there was no point in scolding him, so he had to accept this fact.

"Let me guess, usually only parents remember their child's birthday, so he went to attend the emperor's appointment, right?" Bai Zhi pulled a piece of foxtail grass and pointed at Xiao Yang. His eyes were very aggressive, as if he would not give up until he got a result.

She really guessed it, and Xiao Yang didn't know whether to admit it or not, "Uh..."

This expression showed that he was right, so he became even more angry. Until now, she has never met the palace or the emperor! People say that an ugly daughter-in-law will have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later. Could it be that Meng Ying didn't want to admit that he married this wife?

My self-esteem was instantly hit by 10,000 points. If I continue to ask questions, I will be humiliating myself!

So he let Xiao Yang go, turned around and ran away without looking back.

While running, he howled, "Meng Ying, you bastard! Scumbag! Shameless..."
