After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

After all, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. No matter how upset Jiang Ruoli is, she cannot disturb her family's interest.

After she tidied up, she went to the front yard.

I saw Madam Jiang arranging the housekeeper to give rewards to the servants in the mansion.

"Mother." Jiang Ruoli walked forward.

"Li'er is awake. She woke up early today." Mrs. Jiang teased.

Jiang Ruoli smiled embarrassedly.

"Where's my sister-in-law?"

Jiang Ruoli looked around and saw only Duke Jiang and Jiang Ciyan sitting in the hall.

"Your sister-in-law said she wanted to bake mooncakes, and she has been busy in the kitchen since early morning," said Mrs. Jiang.

She didn't want her daughter-in-law to work so hard, after all, she was pregnant. But Yun'er said that the Feng family used to bake some mooncakes every year, so she let her do it.

Baked mooncakes?

Jiang Ruoli became interested.

"I'm going to find my sister-in-law." After saying that, he ran away like a gust of wind.

Mrs. Jiang smiled helplessly. She really has the temper of a child.

When Jiang Ruoli came to the kitchen, she saw Feng Yijun mixing the stuffing.

"Sister-in-law!"

Feng Yijun looked up at her.

"Li'er, you're here."

Jiang Ruoli came closer.

"Sister-in-law, can you make mooncakes?"

Feng Yijun smiled and said, "When I was at home, I liked to make cakes and pastries."

Jiang Ruoli was very impressed by her skillful mixing of the filling.

Seeing that she was very interested, Feng Yijun said, "Li'er, do you want to try it?"

"Me?" Jiang Ruoli pointed at herself, "I've never done this before..."

"It's okay, it's very simple." Feng Yijun put the bowl of stuffing in front of Jiang Ruoli. "It just so happens that my sister-in-law is a little tired, Li'er, why don't you help her?"

Jiang Ruoli picked up the wooden spoon and tried to stir it.

The rich aroma of sesame and nuts came, making Jiang Ruoli happy.

After a while, her arms felt a little sore.

Feng Yijun smiled, and seeing that she was almost done, he reached out to take it.

After finishing this pot, Feng Yijun took another pot of red bean paste filling.

You don't need to stir this pot too much, just add sugar and stir it.

Feng Yijun looked at the shelf.

"Li'er, can you help my sister-in-law get the sugar bowl?"

"Which one is it?"

"The white jar next to the black clay jar."

Jiang Ruoli shook her arms and looked at the black pottery jar on the shelf.

White jar...

Seeing the white jar next to the pottery jar, Jiang Ruoli reached out and took it down and handed it to Feng Yijun.

Feng Yijun took it, opened the jar, scooped out the sugar and sprinkled it into the basin.

After stirring it a little, Feng Yijun began to wrap the stuffing.

After wrapping the filling, Feng Yiyun put the round ball into the mold and pressed it, and a peony-shaped mooncake was ready.

This is not very difficult, Jiang Ruoli thought.

"Li'er, come with us?" Feng Yijun handed a piece of dough to Jiang Ruoli, "Try it."

Jiang Ruoli held the dough, eager to try.

It looks simple, but it is still a bit difficult to wrap the dough properly.

After a lot of effort, Jiang Ruoli managed to wrap five mooncakes that looked decent.

The five mooncakes she made are easy to recognize because the fillings are exposed.

Feng Yiyun finished wrapping the remaining mooncakes and ordered people to bake them in the stove.

The two returned to the front yard, and not long after, the first batch of mooncakes with nut fillings were brought up by the maid.

Jiang Ruoli picked it up and took a bite. The aroma of nuts and black sesame filled her mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on her teeth and cheeks.

The Jiang family members were full of praise for the mooncakes and praised Feng Yijun.

Jiang Ruoli ate the mooncake slowly.

If mooncakes with nuts are so delicious, then the ones with red bean paste filling should be pretty good too, right?

Jiang Ruoli thought so.

Before entering the palace in the afternoon, she came to the kitchen.

"Miss." The cook greeted Jiang Ruoli quickly when she saw her come in.

"Aunt Wang, do you have any more of the red bean paste mooncakes that we baked at noon?"

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "There are more. We have just finished eating the ones with nut filling, and no one has eaten the ones with red bean paste filling yet. How many would you like, young lady?"

Jiang Ruoli nodded, "I want to take some to eat on the road."

"Then I will help Miss put it on." Aunt Wang said enthusiastically.

"No need!" Jiang Ruoli stopped him quickly, "I can do it myself."

Aunt Wang was stunned and nodded.

She took out the mooncakes with red bean paste filling and gave Jiang Ruoli a food box.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the round plate full of mooncakes and recognized the five she had made at a glance.

The deep red filling is stuck to the edges of the mooncake and is very noticeable.

Jiang Ruoli quickly put the mooncakes into the food box.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang."

After saying that, he left with the food box.

She got into the carriage with the food box, and Mrs. Jiang looked at her in surprise.

"Li'er, why are you bringing food?"

Jiang Ruoli scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "I was worried that I wouldn't have enough to eat at the palace banquet, so I brought some mooncakes."

Mrs. Jiang nodded when she heard this.

Indeed, there were only a few dishes at each palace banquet, and she and the master would have to eat more when they came back.

When Jiang Ruoli saw that Mrs. Jiang believed it, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she brought it to Xiao Yujing.

Although the two of them parted on bad terms that day, he had always been very nice to her, and she couldn't really treat him as an ungrateful person.

After all, it’s his first time making mooncakes, so I’ll just give it to him to appease him.

He should accept it, right?

The three carriages of the Jiang family drove towards the palace...

After entering the palace, the Jiang family took their seats under the guidance of the palace servants.

The palace banquet had not yet begun. Madam Jiang was chatting with the lady next to her, and Feng Yijun also went to Madam Feng's side.

Soon, a shrill voice sounded:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!"

Everyone stood up and knelt.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The Queen Mother caught a cold and was not feeling well, so she did not attend the palace banquet.

Xiao Yujing supported Emperor Chengren and came to the palace.

Glancing down, I easily caught sight of the furry little head.

Xiao Yujing's eyes were burning.

Jiang Ruoli lowered her head and felt a gaze falling on her.

She quietly raised her head and looked upward.

Xiao Yujing looked straight ahead without looking at her.

Is it her imagination?

Before she looked over, Xiao Yujing quickly looked away.

Seeing her staring at him, he unconsciously clenched his hands.

He had agreed to keep a distance from her, but when he actually saw her, he realized how difficult it was to do so.

Just looking at her made his heart beat faster uncontrollably.

"Flat body."

After Emperor Chengren sat down, he spoke in a deep voice.

He was still very weak and his voice was a little weak.

"Let's have a party."

Eunuch Luo responded, and shouted in a shrill voice:

"Have a - banquet -"

A group of musicians entered the hall and began to play music.

The palace servants served the dishes one after another.

Jiang Ruoli had already watched the performance of the court musicians at the last palace banquet, and she didn't find it very interesting to watch it again this time.

She couldn't help but secretly look in Xiao Yujing's direction.

He seemed different, more distant than when she first met him.

Jiang Ruoli's gaze was too obvious.

Xiao Yujing's scalp tingled, and she couldn't pretend that she didn't notice it.

There was no choice but to glance at Jiang Ruoli indifferently.

I met his gaze with a cold and indifferent expression.

It's totally different from the warmth and tenderness of the past.

Jiang Ruoli's heart was stabbed hard by this look.
