Chapter 407: It’s Not Her

Yang Wenxiao’s gaze rested on the delicate Glutinous Rice Cakes.

He took the small dish and sat down at the table.

Yang Wang gave Yang Ye a glance, which carried a hint of boastfulness.

Yang Ye rolled his eyes in frustration, handed the bowl of Fish Head Tofu Soup to Yang Wenxiao, and then took a seat at the table.

Today was a family feast attended only by the three of them, grandfather and grandchildren.

Yang Wenxiao picked up one of the small Glutinous Rice Cakes with his chopsticks, examined it carefully, then brought it up to his mouth. The fragrant and sweet essence endlessly invaded his nostrils. He opened his mouth and put the cake in.

It’s very soft.

Something his teeth could completely endure.

The Bean Paste in the middle was very sweet, but not at all greasy.

A familiar fragrance was mixed within the soft sweetness.

That scent, which had danced on his dreams for over fifty years.

The chewing motion stopped for a moment, as though a figure of the past appeared before his eyes.

How could this…

He swallowed the Glutinous Rice Cake in his mouth, picked up another piece with his chopsticks, and chewed it slowly and carefully.

It was not a hallucination.

This familiar fragrance was real.

After fifty-two years, he had tasted this flavor again…

Fifty-two years!

Yang Wenxiao swallowed the Glutinous Rice Cake in his mouth and asked Yang Ye, “Did Qiao Xiaomai make all these dishes?”

“Yes.”

“Bring her here.”

Seeing this, Yang Ye quickly said, “I’ll go get her myself.”

Saying this, he stood up and immediately put his light-footed agility to use.

Wow, Grandpa Emperor wants to see Qiao Xiaomai just after tasting a few Rice Cakes. Qiao Xiaomai’s presence is quite strong!

Arriving at the kitchen door, seeing Qiao Xiaomai in front of the stove, he said hurriedly, “Hurry up, Grandpa Emperor wants to see you!”

“Alt?” Qiao Xiaomai was frightened by Yang Ye’s urgency, wiped her hands on her apron, quickly took off her apron, and left the kitchen.

“Don’t be nervous, Grandpa Emperor is impressed by your cooking skills. He wants to praise you.”

Qiao Xiaomai nodded again and again, her lips pursed in a straight line.

The favor of the retired emperor must be taken advantage of to the full extent!

Soon they arrived at the main room, and Yang Ye said, “Grandpa Emperor, Qiao Xiaomai is here.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With her head and eyes down, Qiao Xiaomai respectfully kneeled and greeted, “The commoner girl pays her respects to the retired emperor.”

“Get up.” Yang Wenxiao breathed in an almost imperceptible sigh, “Raise your head.”

Qiao Xiaomai quickly got up and then raised her head.

Of course, her eyes were still down, focusing on her shoes.

Yang Wenxiao looked at her face, the heart that had been lifted suddenly sank, and disappointment appeared in his eyes.

The girl in front of him bore no resemblance to her whatsoever.

She loved to wear red, and her entire presence was like a fiercely burning fire that tugged at his heartstrings.

And the girl in front of him was wearing common blue silk dress, she seemed well-behaved and clever.

Indeed, she had been dead for so many years.

So many years…

With a sigh, he hid the disappointment in his eyes and put a satisfied expression on his face, “Your cooking is very impressive, who taught you?”

“The commoner girl learned from her mother.”

Yang Wenxiao nodded and cordially said, “Come, sit down and eat together.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai unconsciously looked at Yang Ye, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.

She was allowed to eat at the same table with the retired emperor?

“Do as Grandpa Emperor tells you.” Yang Ye raised his hand to indicate a place next to him, “Come and sit here.”

Qiao Xiaomai quickly thanked him, “Thankyou, Retired Emperor.”

Yang Wenxiao nodded, took another Glutinous Rice Cake, and asked, “Tell me, how did you make this?”

Qiao Xiaomai stared at the white pastry, and let out a long sigh of relief.

That was a relief, she was relieved that her flattery had not missed the mark, her trial was successful!
