The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 342

Mo Shaoxie's words were like the cold wind in winter, very penetrating.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he stared at the densely packed list. Every word revealed his inner determination and resolve.

"Arrest people according to the list."

"Yes"

Shangguan Ziling looked at his focused and stern expression and scratched his palm.

Mo Shaoxie turned his head to look at her, and his eyes immediately softened.

Mo Shaoxie's eyes were deep. He stood up and took Shangguan Ziling out of the dungeon.

Shangguan Ziling came out of the dungeon and took a deep breath. The dungeon was too depressing, and the air outside was better.

Mo Shaoxie whispered in her ear.

After saying that, Mo Shaoxie turned around and strode away.

Shangguan Ziling looked at his back as he left. He was tall and strong, like an insurmountable mountain. Oh! Her man's back was so charming.

The little fat boy in the space said: "Master, come back to your senses. When did you become so crazy that you can't even see the male master."

"Well………"

When Shangguan Ziling returned to Xinlingyuan, she found that the entire courtyard was immersed in tranquility.

She walked through the corridor, came to her bedroom, and gently opened the door.

The room is decorated warmly and elegantly, in sharp contrast to the outside world, as if it were a safe haven.

She walked into the room and sat on the bed, but she couldn't help but start thinking.

Shangguan Ziling couldn't help but think of Mo Shaoxie and the words he whispered in her ear when he left, the man who always made her love and grit her teeth.

She remembered the tenderness and affection hidden beneath his stern appearance, and the efforts and sacrifices he had made for the country and the people.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Shangguan Ziling's mind: "Oh, right, Mo Shaoxie seemed to have told her that his birthday is in three days. What should I give him?"

This man didn't lack any precious gifts, what she wanted was something that could express her feelings.

She recalled the lively scenes in modern times when people celebrated birthdays, among which the most eye-catching thing was the tall birthday cake.

Her heart moved slightly, "Yes, let's make a birthday cake!"

So she got up and left the room and went to the kitchen of Xinlingyuan.

Shangguan Ziling walked in and saw Chunxiao and Xia Yu busy preparing dinner.

Chun Xiao was stunned when she saw her come in. "Princess, why are you in the kitchen? The kitchen is dirty and messy. If you want to eat something, just tell me."

Shangguan Ziling shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I came here for other things to do."

"What can the princess do in the kitchen?" Xia Yu muttered.

Chun Xiao and Xia Yu looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly and said, "As for me, my princess, I want to make a birthday cake."

Chun Xiao asked in confusion: "What is a birthday cake? Why didn't I hear it?"

Shangguan Ziling said: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it before. Birthday cake is a kind of food used to celebrate birthdays. It is usually made of multiple layers of pastries and decorated with various exquisite patterns and candles. It symbolizes reunion, happiness and prosperity, and is very suitable for celebrating birthdays."

Qiu Kui said at the side: "Princess, are you going to make a birthday cake for the prince?"

“Well, but there are still three days left, so I have to practice in advance,” said Shangguan Ziling. Making birthday cakes is not too difficult in modern times, but in ancient times, it is a bit troublesome.

Shangguan Ziling looked at the girls and said, "Keep it a secret."

Upon hearing this, the maids all nodded in understanding. It seemed that the princess wanted to give the prince a surprise!

Shangguan Ziling then mentioned some materials available in this era, and Chunxiao immediately took them and placed them on the stove.

"Princess, take a look, what's missing?" Chun Xiao said.

"Not yet."

After Shangguan Ziling finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and started to work.

Chunxiao and Xia Yu watched her operate skillfully and couldn't help but admire her skills.

Although they didn't know what the birthday cake looked like, they couldn't help but help when they saw Shangguan Ziling preparing it so seriously.

In the following time, Shangguan Ziling guided Chunxiao and Xia Yu while personally demonstrating how to make a birthday cake.

Her technique was skillful and graceful, as if every movement contained some deep meaning. Chun Xiao and Xia Yu also studied very hard, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

After a busy period, a beautiful birthday cake finally appeared in front of them. The cake was full and regular in shape, with a layer of snow-white cream flowers on the surface and some colorful fruits inlaid in the middle, which looked delicious and tempting.

"Wow! Princess, is this the birthday cake? It's so beautiful!" Chun Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yes! Princess, your cooking skills are amazing. I never thought that I could make such delicious food." Xia Yu also echoed.

Shangguan Ziling looked at their surprised expressions and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and pride in her heart.

She knew that this birthday cake was far from the modern ones, but the conditions in ancient times were limited, so it was already very good. Also, she hadn't made it for a long time, so her hands were a little rusty.

This is not just a gift, but also her thoughts and blessings to Mo Shaoxie.

"Okay, let's try it together." Shangguan Ziling said with a smile.

"Princess, don't you want to wait until tonight to enjoy it with the prince?" Xia Yu asked.

"It's the first time, so there are still some flaws. Besides, his birthday is in three days, so we have to give him a surprise. If he sees it now, it won't be a surprise anymore." Shangguan Ziling said.

The eyes of several girls lit up and they stared at the birthday cake intently. Shangguan Ziling cut a few pieces and ate together with the girls.

Shangguan Ziling even took a portion specially, put it into the space, and gave it to the little fat boy to eat.

Several maids ate with gusto, especially Xia Yu, who ate the cake in her hand and said incoherently: "Well, Princess, this is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food. Princess, how did you think of making such food? I have never seen anyone in the capital eat this birthday cake!"

Shangguan Ziling tapped Xia Yu on the forehead.

"Um...Princess?" Xia Yu frowned in pain and looked at Shangguan Ziling aggrievedly.

Chunxiao laughed and said, "You deserve it. I told you to talk too much. Even such a delicious cake can't fill your mouth."

Xia Yu immediately looked at Chunxiao, swallowed the piece of cake in his hand, and immediately went forward to play with Chunxiao.

Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows and was in a good mood watching them playing and fighting.

The little fat boy in the space was also eating a piece of cake: "Master, I didn't expect you could make birthday cakes! It's so delicious."
