After being forced into the palace, I became the tyrant's favorite

That night, Wen Yao fell asleep in Ye Chu's bedroom. Ye Chu touched his head and said to rest. Wen Yao put on dark clothes and lay down beside him.

The two were close, their noses intersected, Wen Yao could smell Long Yanxiang, he approached slowly, Ye Chu watched his movements, his black eyes darkened, and then he stretched out his arms and took him into his arms.

Wen Yao buried his face in his chest and sniffed, the scent became clearer without any pungent repulsion.

Thinking of this, he turned back and hugged the man.

The coldness in Ye Chu's eyes dissipated, and if he looked carefully, he could find a slight warmth projected inside.

There was no dream all night, and Wen Yao slept very soundly.

On the second day, Wen Yao's biological clock woke up on time, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Chu who was close at hand. The man's eyes were closed tightly, and without the cold temperament, he looked much softer.

Birds sang in the forest in the early morning. Hearing the crisp voice, Wen Yao stretched out his hand from the quilt in a mysterious way, and carefully traced the man's facial features.

His fingers slid across the other's beardless sword eyebrows, and then to the high bridge of the nose, all the way down, gently and carefully tracing the model, as if gently stroking.

The eyebrows, the eyes, the nose, and even the lips are just right, as if they were cast by God himself.

He thought, probably because he is the emperor, the real dragon emperor, so God prefers him.

Of course, this is just a joke while thinking about it, it's not true.

He heard from the common people that the emperor had only a few similarities with the first emperor, but he was very similar to the Zhongzong emperor.

Emperor Zhongzong was Ye Chu's grandfather, Wen Yao didn't think it was strange, there were countless examples of grandsons resembling grandfathers.

But some words they talked about in private made him frown.

As soon as Ye Chu opened his eyes, he saw the little daughter-in-law frowning bitterly, and asked with a hoarse voice in the morning, "What's the matter? Are you in trouble?"

Wen Yao raised his eyes and instantly met Ye Chu's gentle eyes. He hesitated for a while before slowly speaking, "I heard some rumors."

"What kind of rumor?"

"Bad rumors." Wen Yao still frowned, "I don't like it."

"Who are the rumors about?"

Wen Yao was stunned for a moment, unlike what he thought, he thought the other party would say, then let's not think about it.

He didn't want to tell the truth, he was afraid that Ye Chu would be angry, and he was also worried that the other party would be unhappy, but Liu Qing told him what was said outside, and when he thought of those unsavory words, he was so angry that he wanted to stop those people's mouths.

What about people, do their shit!

He didn't realize that he would be so angry, and the reason for his anger was because of the emperor.

"What did you hear outside?" Seeing that Wen Yao blinked his big eyes without saying a word, but his brows were tightly furrowed, Ye Chu rubbed Wen Yao's brows and whispered.

"Don't think about unhappy things." After a while, Wen Yao adjusted his mood and changed the subject, "Today I have to try to see if these pastries can be made, and if they do, I can make a small profit on the boat in three days. "

Ye Chu touched his soft hair with a smile, and asked someone to come in to wait for him to change his clothes. Taking advantage of this time, Wen Yao slipped to the side hall, and quickly changed into a men's short jacket that was easy to work.

After the two of them finished their breakfast warmly and affectionately, Li Quan brought several guards into the hospital.

"All the ingredients you need are here. What do you need to manage your servants?" Li Quan said respectfully, he would not be so easy to talk to other concubines, and no one knew that he, like Ye Chu, was not easy to get along with.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li." When Wen Yao spoke to him, he was a little alienated, with a sense of alienation that rejected others.

However, when talking to Ye Chu, even the eyes are shining, and the tone does not distinguish between you and me. The two seem to be old friends who have known each other for many years, and they seem to be talented and beautiful.

It's a pity that he is not a woman, and the other party is the emperor.

Throughout history, he has never believed that there are emperors who "take one scoop from three thousand drownings" like those in novels or TV dramas. There may be such emperors in history, but they are only a few, and most of them end in misery.

And his transmigrating into the novel is an unknown factor, maybe the plot will have a butterfly effect because of him, or the original plot will continue to develop.

So he never dared to show his sincerity to Ye Chu.

It depends on whether the other party is willing to accept it or not. At present, there are not many concubines in Ye Chu's harem, and I haven't seen anyone he favors specifically.

At this time, he seemed to forget his own existence.

He didn't go back to the palace for a long time, and Chang San was always by his side. The business of the people's restaurant was booming, and Chang San didn't have much free time. I don't know what happened in the Sun Palace during this time.

It was only later that I heard that Meng Liuyun was placed under house arrest.

Having said that, with the ingredients, Wen Yao started to make osmanthus cakes. In addition to osmanthus cakes, he also planned to use the ready-made ingredients to make some ground chestnut cakes, that is, horseshoe cakes.

"Please, Eunuch Li, find a few young eunuchs to bring these ingredients to the imperial dining room."

"You are being polite, these are what slaves should do." Li Quan bowed.

……

Wen Yao drew some water from a well outside the imperial dining room, cleaned his hands, and then went inside to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and horseshoe cakes.

The palace used to be used as an imperial palace, so the imperial dining room is as big as that in the palace of Kyoto.

Wen Yao didn't ask anyone to come into the house to help, so he washed the air-dried sweet-scented osmanthus first, drained the water, and added two spoonfuls of sugar to the bowl.

At this time, Wen Yao had to find a little eunuch to light the fire.

After the fire is big, put it on the steamer.

Wait for half a stick of incense.

This is Wen Yao's first time doing it, and he is very careful in every step. In later generations, sweet-scented osmanthus can be purchased directly in supermarkets.

So it was his own idea.

To make sweet-scented osmanthus, the next step is to grind the glutinous rice into powder. He didn't hand it over to his servants, but he still did it himself. Fortunately, there is a stone mill in the courtyard outside the imperial dining room, and it is just right to use it.

Wheat flour is ready-made, and the imperial dining room has it, as well as sugar.

The next step is to mix the four, slowly pour in water, stir evenly until the surface is sticky and hang continuously, then scoop them into the mold, put them on the steamer, and wait for a quarter of an hour.

These molds are made of wood, and they are also ready-made in the Imperial Study, but the style is single, square and round.

While waiting, Wen Yao began to draw the design drawings of the mold on the paper with a pen. When inspiration came, he stood directly at the stove and drew.

As soon as the time came, he finished drawing three pictures, put them on the stove beside him, took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, tasted it, the taste was okay, but it was not smooth enough, and the body of the cake was not delicate enough, he thought about it carefully, Only then did I understand where the problem was.

The next time, the speed is much faster. After the four are mixed and sticky, put them directly in the steamer. After a quarter of an hour, hold the cake body with wet gauze while it is hot, and keep turning (qìn) and kneading until the surface is smooth and the cake body is fine. .

Finally, put the cake body into a suitable container, after shaping, spread lard on the surface, and cut into cubes.

This time it is tender and delicate, with a sweet but not greasy taste.

The author has something to say: the rest of the chapter will be later, everyone should rest early.

By the way, the front has been changed, Yaozi used to have only one brother, and now he has several brothers.
