Chapter 614 - 309 Bloodline_2
In the evening, Qian Yixiu went to rest in the side hall. It was her first time sleeping in the Palace, yet she felt no sense of novelty. Mainly, she had matters weighing on her mind, suffocating her breath.
One moment she wondered who her destined husband would be, Liang Jinzhao’s face frequently flashing before her eyes, and occasionally Zhu Sujin’s as well. In this world, only these two had expressed their love for her. Only they would truly be good to her. But she couldn’t choose either...
She also felt sorry for Zhu Sujin. She didn’t know how long Prince Ning would continue to be suppressed, when Prince Ning would finally seize the world, what sufferings Zhu Sujin would still have to endure...
The next day, Qian Yixiu got out of bed with dark circles under her eyes. After breakfast, Pan Yue and the others went back home.
In the carriage, Pan Yue said, "Yixiu, did you not sleep well last night? If you’re like this, next time don’t rest in the Palace."
Qian Yixiu was amused, her little mother indeed seemed a bit smarter, not voicing this offensive remark in front of the Empress Dowager.
On the nineteenth, in the afternoon, Qian Yixiu received an invitation from Liang Yujin, stating that there would be a gathering of handkerchief friends the next day, and this time it would be at her house. She invited Qian Yixiu to attend and specifically mentioned to bring the House of Animals.
Qian Yixiu was very fond of those young ladies, and although the gathering was at Liang Mansion, she decided to go.
She took out the "Uncle Liang" doll and the letter that Liang Jinyu had given her last time, which she had always intended to return to Liang Jinyu. But thinking it inappropriate to return it to Liang Jinyu the next day, as the Liang Family and Uncle Liang had just done a big favor for her family, she put the items back into the box.
Qian Yixiu decided to prepare some rare delicacies to take with her, mainly for the Old Queen Grandma to eat, as she was too thin and said she had no appetite for anything.
The rare delicacies she knew how to make were mostly pastries. She had originally wanted to make a cream cake, but considering that cream might not be digestible for the elderly, she instead decided to make a steamed egg cake, which she had made in her childhood.
That evening, she had the ingredients prepared. The next day, before dawn, Qian Yixiu got up and led a few maids to the small kitchen in the back yard to make steamed egg cakes. First, they steamed twenty for the family and the House of Animals, then made another twenty to send to Prince Ning Mansion, and finally made thirty to take to the Liang Family.
