The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.
Chapter 395 Overcoming
Amidst everyone's attention, the three-tiered cream cake that Su Qianqian had prepared in advance was carried out.
Because the butter would melt in the sun, the cake was placed in the gazebo.
The six corners of the gazebo were all fitted with wooden buckets filled with ice to prevent the cream from melting.
The guests near the pavilion were all amazed by the cream cake.
The frosting on this cream cake is made of colorful flowers, a profusion of blossoms, light and airy in color, just like colorful clouds.
Standing next to the cake makes you feel like you're in heaven.
Many guests came over to see the novelty.
"What is this?"
"I heard it's edible, it's called a cake, and Miss Su made it herself."
"It's so beautiful! When I come of age, I wonder if I could ask Gu's Restaurant to make one for me."
"This is the most luxurious coming-of-age ceremony I've ever seen. From the hairpin to the cake, everything is unique."
"It looks delicious! I really want to try it!"
"Don't worry, you should be able to eat it before lunchtime."
Murong Yan was more shocked than the others.
Unexpectedly, Su Qianqian was able to make a three-tiered cake, attracting so much attention and making the coming-of-age banquet incredibly splendid.
She became even more convinced that Su Qianqian, like her, had also traveled from another time.
Both of them time-traveled, so why is Su Qianqian living a better life than her?
Murong Yan stared at the three-tiered cake with resentment, wishing she could personally knock it over and let it rot on the ground.
But what's with that Western Xia Grand Preceptor? Why is he staring at her like that? Is he just bored and has nothing better to do?
Feng Xiaoshuang came with Feng Yuanxi, and her eyes lit up when she saw the three-tiered cake.
The little girl exclaimed, "Wow, this cake is so big and dreamy! It's totally my girlish aesthetic! Brother, I'll be turning 18 in a few months. Wouldn't it be so much fun if we could have such a beautiful cake for my coming-of-age ceremony?"
Feng Yuanxi felt it shouldn't be a problem. He was currently working at Gu's Restaurant, and the last time he heard Miss Su say that she wanted to train a few people to specialize in making cream cakes for sale.
"Sis, as long as Dad doesn't cause any trouble, you'll definitely be able to buy a cake when you come of age."
Feng Xiaoshuang nodded, "I will keep a close eye on Dad. I'll go keep an eye on him right now."
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and ran away.
Just then, Prime Minister Feng, whom the brother and sister had mentioned, suddenly sneezed, "Achoo—"
Someone must be talking about him.
Prime Minister Feng was also in the plum garden.
He had thought attending a banquet in the height of summer would be very tiring, because the weather was too hot and the sun was too strong.
However, there are many pavilions in the plum garden, and many sunshades have been built on the open space. Ice is very expensive now, but there are many ice basins under each sunshade.
Prime Minister Feng was sitting in a wooden wheelchair under a sunshade by the lake, with Steward Chen from the Prime Minister's residence standing beside him.
A maidservant passed by carrying a tray with more than a dozen different kinds of drinks on it.
Manager Chen, who followed Prime Minister Feng, was a man of the world, but he had never seen a family offer more than a dozen kinds of drinks when entertaining guests.
Moreover, apart from tea, the other drinks looked so colorful that Manager Chen couldn't name them at all, which made him feel quite embarrassed.
"Would you like some water, sir? Which kind would you like?"
Manager Chen didn't know the name of the drink, so he didn't dare to answer, afraid of being laughed at. He casually took a drink from the tray and handed it to Prime Minister Feng.
"Your Excellency, please have some water."
Prime Minister Feng was staring at the sunshade not far away, under which Su Bing was sitting.
Su Bing is incredibly popular these days. While the prime minister only has Lu, the minister of the Ministry of Works, around him, Su Bing is surrounded by more than a dozen officials, each with a fawning expression on their face.
After Su Bing came to Beijing, he became a completely different person.
He used to blush and become speechless whenever he saw people.
After arriving in Beijing, in order to support his daughter, he forced himself to go out every day and greet everyone he met, finally overcoming his fear of speaking.
Surrounded by so many officials, he's not even embarrassed.
"Lord Su, your daughter's coming-of-age banquet was truly magnificent!"
"Lord Su, when you came to the capital last time, thanks to you, I was able to buy popcorn without queuing. This time, I would like to ask you for a favor. My mother's birthday is coming up soon, and I wonder if Miss Su could make a beautiful cake for her as well."
"Lord Su, my son is getting married next month. Could you please order a cake like that?"
"Lord Su, my requirements are lower than theirs. I don't need three layers; one layer is enough."
Su Bing replied to everyone, "Don't worry, everyone. I will convey your requests to Qian Yatou."
This was a very tactful statement; it didn't refuse anyone, but it also didn't promise to make cakes for everyone. It only said that it would be relayed, but whether his daughter would help was another matter.
Lord Xue passed by the sunshade where Prime Minister Feng was and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Feng, there is a very beautiful cake in the pavilion over there. Would you like to take a look? I heard that your wife helped Miss Su make that cake."
After Lord Xue left, Prime Minister Feng spat at his retreating figure several times.
He felt that Lord Xue was mocking him, mocking his wife for working as a servant for Miss Su.
Ever since Miss Su arrived in the capital, his reputation as the prime minister of a great nation has been constantly trampled on, which is extremely miserable.
But it doesn't matter, Miss Su's good days are coming to an end.
He had already made arrangements in advance: he had to send Miss Su's father to jail today, and he hoped that the little girl wouldn't cry too much.
"How is it, Lord Lu? Is everything arranged?"
Lord Lu nodded and replied softly, "Prime Minister, rest assured, everything is arranged, there will definitely be no problem."
He had already arranged for a sixth-rank military officer surnamed Sun to get Su Bing drunk at the banquet, and then have the officer bribe Su Bing, a third-rank general.
We'll expose it on the spot then, leaving Su Bing with no room for denial.
The two were whispering to each other when cheers erupted again from the crowd.
"Look, this is a thousand-year-old Tian Shan snow lotus, the flowers are so big!"
"My God! The Empress of Western Xia has gifted Miss Su a sacred Tian Shan Snow Lotus, a thousand-year-old treasure of the Western Xia royal family."
Everyone rushed to see the thousand-year-old snow lotus.
The lifespan of a typical snow lotus is less than ten years, so snow lotuses that are over ten years old are extremely rare.
A snow lotus that is a hundred years old is already a rare treasure, let alone a snow lotus that is a thousand years old.
It is said that as long as one consumes a single petal of the thousand-year-old snow lotus, one's entire body will emit a cool, ethereal fragrance, keeping poisonous insects away.
The snow lotus flower gifted by the Empress of Western Xia was a variant of the common snow lotus, cultivated according to the secret methods of the Western Xia royal family. It grew in a dimly lit cave, its growth rate was extremely slow, and it had been nourished by glacial water for over a thousand years, experiencing the changes of the royal family.
There is only one of its kind in the entire world.
The onlookers were all amazed, never expecting to see such a rare item while attending the coming-of-age ceremony.
The crystal-clear snow lotus is as big as a washbasin, with petals as thin as cicada wings. To preserve this rare snow lotus, crushed ice was laid all around and under it.
Why would the Empress of Western Xia bestow such a priceless treasure upon Miss Su?
Unbeknownst to them, the Empress of Western Xia had actually requested to exchange twenty peaches from Miss Su in exchange for the royal treasure, the snow lotus.
This was done to protect the life of the Western Xia's Grand Preceptor. With a powerful Grand Preceptor protecting Western Xia, the country would never have to worry about being destroyed.
