Chapter 38: Concubine Xian's Salty Mung Bean Cake

But when he took a small bite of the mung bean cake that Jiang Yimo put into her mouth, his eyebrows immediately twisted into a ball of hemp rope.

"Oh my god!"

"Mother, is this mung bean cake you made salty or sweet?"

"You kid, what a question. Have you ever eaten salty mung bean cake? It must be sweet. When mother made this mung bean cake, she put a lot of sugar in it. Isn't it sweet?"

After hearing what Concubine Xian said, Feng Wuhen really didn't know what expression to show.

"Mother, would you like to try it yourself?"

As Feng Wuhen spoke, he stuffed the mung bean cake in his hand into Concubine Xian's mouth.

Empress Xian took a bite and it was so salty that she immediately spat it out.

"Wow, why is this mung bean cake so salty!"

"I clearly remembered putting sugar in it, how come it turned into salt?"

Empress Xian looked at the mung bean cake in her hands and muttered softly.

Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen were speechless after hearing this. This Concubine Xian couldn't even tell the difference between salt and sugar, and she still wanted to make mung bean cakes for them.

It’s a good thing that the kitchen was not blown up by her.

At this time, Empress Xian looked at Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen with embarrassment.

"Momo, I'm sorry. I wanted to make something delicious for you, but I'm so stupid that I can't even make the simplest mung bean cake. I even put salt instead of sugar. Sigh..."

What's even funnier is that she also burned up several big pots in the kitchen.

"My queen, it's okay. The mung bean cake you made this time is already very good, but you put too much salt in it. If you put less salt in the cake today, the salty mung bean cake will also be delicious."

Jiang Yimo didn't want to hit her.

Children born in wealthy families like Concubine Xian must have never been in the kitchen since childhood. It is really...

"Hey, kid, you are such a jerk. This mung bean cake is so salty, but you didn't spit it out but swallowed it. What if you get a stomachache?"

"It's alright, madam. I just took a small bite just now. It was mainly to play a trick on the prince."

Feng Wuhen was sitting behind Jiang Yimo, and suddenly a flock of crows flew over his head.

You want to play a prank on me and you dare to say it in front of me. If I don’t show my power, people will think I’m a sick cat. My heart is really tired!

Jiang Yimo saw Feng Wuhen frowning.

Then, she immediately changed the subject and told Empress Xian that she had developed the antidote for the Soul-Separating Drunkenness last night.

I originally thought that Empress Xian would be very happy to hear this, but unexpectedly, she just smiled and said a lot of words of gratitude to her.

"My queen, when the prince finds the hot spring pool, we will take you out to detoxify you. Once the poison in your body is completely removed and you take good care of your body for a while, you can live like a normal person."

"Momo, this poison has tortured me for several years. Before I met you, I lay in bed every day in a fake sleep, living a dark life that was worse than death. I have lived on this island for several years and have never left. But since you appeared in front of me, you have brought me new hope, and now you have helped me develop an antidote. I really don't know how to thank you."

As she spoke, Empress Xian took off a jade bracelet from her left hand and put it on Jiang Yimo's hand.

"Momo, I don't have anything good to give you. This jade bracelet was given to me by the emperor as a token of love. Now I'm giving it to you to play with."

When Jiang Yimo heard this, she immediately rejected her.

"No, no, no, Madam, I cannot accept such an expensive bracelet. You should wear it yourself, or leave it to your future daughter-in-law."

Hearing this, Empress Xian complained in her heart. If she wasn't afraid of scaring Jiang Yimo away, she would definitely reply to her: Momo, you are the daughter-in-law I have chosen in my heart!

Feng Wuhen, who was standing by, of course knew what his mother was thinking, and seeing this, he also spoke up for Concubine Xian.

"Momo, just accept it. It's just an ordinary bracelet. Just consider it as your mother's reward for detoxifying you."

"Okay, my lady, I won't be polite then."

Jiang Yimo had no choice but to accept the jade bracelet. Then, she remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, please stay here with the queen for a while. I will cook a delicious meal for her today."

After hearing her words, Concubine Xian and Feng Wuhen couldn't believe that such a delicate and lively girl like Jiang Yimo could actually cook.

Concubine Xian was the most surprised because she didn't know Jiang Yimo's background. Jiang Yimo didn't tell her and she didn't ask because Concubine Xian didn't value a woman's background when choosing a daughter-in-law like she did for other concubines in the palace.

Anyway, she didn't want her son to fight for that position and get hurt.

However, she saw that Jiang Yimo was always neatly dressed and tidy, and her every move was proper and well-behaved, so Empress Xian thought she was a pampered daughter of some wealthy family.

Feng Wuhen was also surprised at first, but then he thought of her upbringing where she was thrown into the back mountains by Jiang Qinian and raised by a wet nurse. He thought it was normal for her to know how to cook.

Jiang Yimo saw the expressions of the two people and knew that they didn't believe she could cook. She smiled and said, "Why? You don't believe I can cook?"

"Momo, the kitchen is a scary place. You'd better not go there. Don't be like me and mistake salt for sugar..."

Jiang Yimo: “…”

"Mother, Momo is not as stupid as you. Although I have not eaten her cooking, I believe that Momo's cooking skills must be very good."

After Feng Wuhen said these words, Concubine Xian was so angry that she glared at him.

Her son is so annoying. It’s her daughter-in-law who knows how to make people happy.

After listening to the conversation between the mother and son, Jiang Yimo smiled gently.

"Your Highness, you and the prince chat here first. When I came in just now, I saw Aunt Meng and Xiao Huan digging up a lot of seafood at the beach. I'll go take a look and make a seafood feast for everyone later."

After Jiang Yimo finished speaking, she walked out of Concubine Xian's room and ran towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Aunt Meng, who had recovered now, and Xiao Huan were staring at the pile of shells in front of them with a look of confusion on their faces, neither of them knew where to start.

Yesterday, Aunt Meng and Xiao Huan heard from Miss Jiang that the shellfish on the beach can be eaten. This morning, Aunt Meng and Xiao Huan felt bored, so they each carried a large bamboo basket and a small hoe and ran to the beach to dig up two large baskets of shells.

But after these things were dug up, the chef in the kitchen didn't know how to eat them. As a result, Aunt Meng and Xiao Huan were both stunned when they looked at the pile of hard shells in front of them.

"Aunt Meng, why don't we go ask Miss Jiang how to eat this kind of shell?"

"Oh, no, Miss Jiang is chatting with Concubine Xian and the prince right now, so we should find a way ourselves."
