an didn't want to admit defeat like that. Taking advantage of the fact that a pearl had fallen to the ground and Jia Yin was crouching down to pick it up, she stretched out her foot to step on Jia Yin...General Yi immediately knelt down, trembling and kowtowing, "Princess, please forgive me. Next time, this old servant will definitely make sure to ask if the princess is coming before attending on His Majesty with more care."

This was very sincere and also gave the princess face, but no matter how I heard it, it felt a bit awkward.

Could it be that without the princess's permission, the Emperor cannot enjoy a snack!

The Emperor's face was not good, his brow furrowed slightly.

Even when scolding a dog, one must consider its owner. Manager Yi has diligently served him in his daily life and done his best. It was only because he saw him too tired that he brought up the cake he had specially brought back from the Li family to cheer him up with a smile.

The cake was indeed delicious, but before he could savor the moment, the third princess came along to show off!

Unfortunately, the third princess didn't notice and was unaware that she had angered her father.

She glared fiercely at Yi, the steward, and then took out the plum blossom cakes she had made, “Father, I made these plum blossom cakes myself. You must try them!”

The emperor said in a bland tone, "Just leave it there. What brings you here today Have you finished your lessons and etiquette"

The third princess felt wronged and, after spending the whole afternoon making snacks, her father didn't even glance at them before pestering her about her studies. "Father, please rest assured, your daughter is learning very well," she said.

Unfortunately, the old woman following her only pressed her head lower.

The Emperor glanced over, there was nothing left to misunderstand!

He was too lazy to ask any more questions, waving them away. "Go back and study the rules properly! Stop causing trouble!"

The Third Princess couldn't believe it, her emperor had just dismissed her with two sentences!

She still wanted to say a few more words, but the Emperor had already picked up the document beside him. She could only unwillingly retreat.

Yi Zongguan stood up and respectfully sent the emperor off. Then, he carefully changed the emperor's tea.

The Emperor sighed and said, “I don’t think I’ve neglected the Princess’s teachings, but why is she like this...”

General Yi immediately smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. The princess is still young. It's normal for her to have a bit of a girl's temper."

"Little" The Emperor scoffed, growing even more displeased. "Fu Nier is much younger than her, look how well-behaved Fu Nier is."

Mr. Yi smiled and said he wouldn't say any more.

Princess number three was taught by the empress from a young age, learning only arrogance and conceit. She disregarded everything else.

Kangle Princess was different. Though the Li family was a humble farming household, Old Madam Li was exceptionally wise and magnanimous. The four Li brothers were united and harmonious, and they had good relations with both their own family and the Liu family. Furthermore, they enjoyed the protection of the Marquis.

The county princess learns a little here and a point there, and she will never be behind.

Once the emperor had thoroughly read through the memorials, Manager Yi withdrew. Unexpectedly, he was immediately summoned by a young eunuch to a side hall next door.

Turns out, the third princess hasn't left yet!

When Yi Zhuangguan entered the room, she immediately pressed him, "Yi Zhuangguan, what was the name of the snack His Majesty ate just now Which master in the Imperial Kitchen made it This princess wants to learn!"

Yi Zongguan listened with annoyance, and a flash of inspiration sparked in his mind.

He looked embarrassed and said: "To your highness, the refreshments I presented to the Emperor just now were not made by the palace chefs. They are from Li's family in Suijintan."

The Li family

The Third Princess's face darkened even more, and she angrily said, "That dead girl from the Li family has entered the palace"

"No, no," Manager Yi hurriedly waved his hand. "It was because Princess Kangle's birthday is today. I went to deliver a gift. Princess Kangle specially brought an anniversary cake for the Emperor, and the Emperor liked it very much…"

"What kind of birthday cake" asked the Third Princess.

"It is said to be a new snack conceived by the county princess, baked soft and tender, with a layer of cream on the outside, like white clouds. The Emperor named it Baiyun Gao after tasting it..."

"Father even gave me a name" Princess Three grew increasingly furious.

Yi Zuo added aptly, "Indeed, it seems the Emperor is extremely fond of it. This old servant was even planning to go to the Li family in a few days to request another..."

"No need!" the third princess immediately said, "You don't have to worry about this! In a few days, I will bring white cloud cake to my father!"

With that, she turned and led her people away.

Yi Zong slowly lifted his head, straightened his waist, and a sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

A cool evening breeze, light and refreshing, blew away the two words, "Fool!"

After a whole day of busy work, the Li's courtyard was unusually quiet at night.

Jia Yin has a spacious courtyard to cheat in, eats and drinks her fill after waking up, then continues on the path of being a scholar.

Sometimes when she was tired, she would take some time to write a good plan, pondering the business of the dessert shop.

I had promised Uncle Huang that we would divide the year-end profits and review the accounts together. If I only hand over a few dozen taels of silver, it would be embarrassing.

Aunt, she must firmly hold onto this world's thickest dragon thigh and absolutely not let go.

Previously, she had visited the teahouse. It was a good place, with a good location, two floors, spacious and clean.

But the business has never been booming, it's just that no one has taken it seriously.

The variety of snacks is limited and not very novel, and the taste can't compare to those century-old shops. This kind of customer positioning is a bit awkward.

Why not just tear it all down and create a small shop for leisurely browsing and chatting

Novel cakes, cookies, and pastries, plus milk tea, fruit drinks, and even ice cream in winter.

Add five-spice sunflower seeds, mixed nuts, and other snacks like crackers to attract young consumers and become a trendy spot.

Upstairs you can eat and play, downstairs you can sell, a two-pronged approach, no fear of bad business...

As she was writing, she suddenly remembered that there were probably a few bags of popcorn left in the cupboard.

It's the kind of popcorn that gets cooked with honey and butter, sizzling and popping in the pan!

However, eating is fine, but I don't know if it can be grown.

At this point, we need to turn to the omnipotent nursery for help!

Fortunately, besides being unable to bring the dead back to life or turn flesh and bones into anything else, the nursery could revive any kind of crop.

Jia Yin guarded the field all night, and to her surprise, over thirty corn seedlings sprouted from a single bag of explosive corn seeds. She was so delighted that she almost went crazy...

The Lord had started his morning exercises in the courtyard again, and he was used to seeing the plump little girl peering over the wall.

He jumped up and hugged the chubby girl down, only to find that she was holding a small basket in her hands.

The basket was filled with little white things, warm and fragrant.

" Godfather, Godfather, you have to try this popcorn, it's so delicious." Jia Yin was excited and grabbed a handful of popcorn, shoving it into her godfather's mouth.

The lord took a few and ate them, praising, "They are sweet, crispy, your children should like them."

Jia Yin's eyes lit up and she beamed, whispering, "Father, are we going into town today Please take me with you! I want to see the dessert shops and start making a fortune!"

"Well, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner. Let the head steward take you to familiarize yourself with some of the social circles at Hou Mansion." The Marquis agreed readily.

The two of them sat under the eaves, having eaten most of the popcorn. They gave the last bit to Dongmei and Yeshan.

Ye Shan was still lacking, but Dong Mei particularly enjoyed eating it. This made Jia Yin even more confident.

At breakfast, Old Madam Li noticed that the Marquis and Jia Yin hadn't eaten much and was still a bit concerned.

The lord then said, “Perhaps Fu Niu’er has been too bored at home these past few days. Today, I shall take her into the city for a stroll.”

Li Lao Tai indeed nodded immediately, “Go ahead. This little rascal is mischievous, so send her to the second son’s place. Just make sure she doesn’t interfere with your important matters.”

Jia Yin protested, “Grandmother looks down on me. I’m going to help my stepfather manage the ceremonial gifts for the Marquis's mansion.”

"I know," Old Mrs. Li glared at her granddaughter, "Remember to ask if you don't understand, don't cause trouble."

After saying that, she asked Tao Hongying again, "Hongying, aren't the mooncakes at home about to be baked"perial Garden of Kyoto Palace originally, there would be something to see. But here in Shin-to, this is just a palace built from an old residence, and the imperial garden is only a dozen or so acres i...
