The Fourth Lady

Chapter 298 Five-color cake (Ⅱ)

Qingyan had made several same five-color cakes in the kitchen. She selected thirty-five different tastes

of cakes and put them into a delicate box, and then put five pieces in a box, seven boxes in total. The

box was also made by the Wanshou Pavilion.

The patterns on it were all Zhongli Jingshu's favorite flowers. It took Qingyan a lot of effort to prepare

the gift for her. Looking at the food she prepared, Qingyan smiled.

"Here you are. Tomorrow is very crucial. You must keep them well." Looking at them, Qingyan stated

seriously, "this is the birthday present I give to Wenxuan Lord's wife."

"I understand." The people in the kitchen looked at Qingyan and answered respectfully.

"Miss, what about the rest cakes? It seems that each pot has a different taste. " Zizhu looked at

Qingyan and said earnestly.

"It took me a lot of time to prepare the five-color cakes. Since we have prepared so many, why don't we

take some to aunt, Miner, father and mother?" As Qingyan spoke, she dusted herself. "Prepare some

for the banquet, and send to Shizi. And, give my adoptive and also Liushang." Qingyan reminded them

earnestly.

It was not until she thought of Princess Chunyuan that she shook her head helplessly. "There's one

more for Princess Chunyun." Qingyan turned around, looked at Yaochi and ordered.

"I understand."

"That's good. I'll take a rest first. If you don't have anything else to do later, you can just wait for the

dinner to wake me up."

"Okay!"

According to what Qingyan said, everyone in the Jiangjunfu received the gift. Suyun and Luobing didn't

expect that Qingyan could cook. However, they knew that there seemed to be many secrets on

Qingyan, but Qingyan didn't want to tell them, so they could only pretend that they didn't know.

The piece of cake for Liushang was sent by Yaochi, and the one for Murong Jingxuan was sent by

Yanmei. At the same time, he asked Murong Jingxuan to send some of them to Qilian Yvran. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

As soon as Qilian Yvran opened the box, she covered her mouth with her hand. It was her favorite five-

color cake, which was also Qingyan most good at.

"Mother, why are you so excited when seeing this cake?" Xuanyuan Yvzhen, who was sitting next to

Qilian Yvran asked curiously, "is there anything wrong with the cake?"

Looking at him, Qilian Yvran shook her head helplessly. "Don't be silly. How could Yanyan hurt me?"

Then, Qilian Yvran took out a piece of cake and put it into his mouth. "I just hasn't tasted it for years."

Hearing what Qilian Yvran had said, Xuanyuan Yvzhen also stretched out his hand and took out a

piece of cake. It seemed to have a faint fragrance in this pastry, and the taste immediately dissipated.

When it slowly came into his throat, he felt a hint of cool breath.

"Mother, I have never eaten such a pastry before." Xuanyuan Yvzhen stared at Qilian Yvran and

remarked, "this pastry is really yummy."

Qilian Yvran looked at Murong Jingxuan and said with a smile, "Of course. This pastry was once a

tribute from the banquet in the Nanchen Kingdom. It's only used to entertain distinguished guests every

time. Of course you never taste it."

Xuanyuan Yvzhen frowned when he heard Qilian Yvran's words. Since it was a tribute from the imperial

banquet in the Nanchen Kingdom, then why could Qingyan make such a delicious one? Wasn't this too

unimaginable?

"Son, what are you thinking about?" Looking at Xuanyuan Yvzhen who was absent-minded, Qilian

Yvran said indifferently, "don't worry. It might just be so amazing."

Qilian Yvran's words brought Xuanyuan Yvzhen back to his senses. He asked as if he hadn't heard

clearly what Qilian Yvran had said. "Mother, what did you say just now?"

Qilian Yvran looked at Xuanyuan Yvzhen's face and shook her head resignedly. "Son, don't worry.

Yanyan won't hurt me. That child really resembles her in personality. Perhaps everything is

predestined."

Xuanyuan Yvzhen surely knew who that person was in Qilian Yvran's words. Sometimes he could feel

that when Qilian Yvran treated Qingyan, she treated her as if she were her family. However, he also

knew that Qilian Qingyan was no longer alive. It would be nice if his mother could always have such a

happy mood.

"Mother, I don't suspect her." Xuanyuan Yvzhen stared at Qilian Yvran and asked indifferently, "but

what else did Yanyan hide from us?"

As Qilian Yvran spoke, she grabbed Xuanyuan Yvzhen's hand and said, "Son, I hope you won't

suspect Yanyan. Even if everyone will betray you, I believe that Yanyan won't betray you."

Xuanyuan Yvzhen had never thought about this question before. He looked at Qilian Yvran'ss grave

face and asked, "mother, what are you worrying about? I've never doubted Yanyan. If that's the case, I

have failed Jingxuan's trust."

As Qilian Yvran spoke, she released Xuanyuan Yvzhen's hand and continued, "you are right."

Seeing the worried expression on Qilian Yvran's face, Xuanyuan Yvzhen held her hand and said, "don't

worry, mother. I will step forward no matter what happens to Yanyan. If I can only see her happy, then

I'm willing to protect her and not hurt her."

As Qilian Yvran heard what Xuanyuan Yvzhen said, her eyes widened. She never thought that

Xuanyuan Yvzhen would also have a crush on Su Qingyan, especially in this situation. But considering

her character, how could she marry a prince? After all, what she yearned for was the kind of loyalty and

everlasting love.

"Son, you can be her brother in this life," As Qilian Yvran spoke, she patted Xuanyuan Yvzhen on the

shoulder. "By the way, tomorrow is Wenxuan Lord's wife's birthday. Please help mother choose a gift

for her. It's not convenient for me to go out of the imperial palace."

Xuanyuan Yvzhen seriously nodded and said, "I understand."

He thought of the princess Emperor Hongjia once mentioned. She should have arrived at the Diqiu City

by the Shangyuan festival. Although Emperor Hongjia didn't want Xuanyuan Yvzhen to welcome her,

the emperor of the Nanchen Kingdom, Weisheng Junyan, ordered Xuanyuan Yvzhen to welcome this

princess.

"Mum, what should I do if this is Weisheng Junyan's order for me to welcome this princess?" Xuanyuan

Yvzhen stared at Qilian Yvran and said earnestly, "I know you don't like her, so how am I going to do

with it?"
