Early in the morning, the dessert shop hung up a sign of "Today's New Products", followed by a long list of delicious delicacies that would make one drool: red bean paste green rice dumplings, meat floss green rice dumplings, egg yolk green rice dumplings, rice cakes, Dingsheng cakes, coconut shredded rice dumplings, sesame white rice dumplings, double-brewed rice dumplings...all of them were glutinous desserts.

  There was a long queue in front of the dessert shop, with customers coming in one after another. When they got to the front, they hesitated about which one to buy. They couldn't make up their minds, so they just bought all of them.

  The Crown Princess' maidservants came to line up early in the morning. This was a big customer. Not only did she want everything, she asked for ten of each.

  Tang Yue knew this maid of the Crown Princess. She had bought a box of matcha cake from the shop some time ago. She was told that it was to be sent to the palace and had to be exquisitely packaged.

  Looking at the scene today, it seemed that some snacks were being sent to the palace again. After Tang Yue confirmed it, she put all the glutinous snacks in an exquisite red lacquered wooden box, which looked very beautiful.

  The maid was very satisfied, added money to the wooden box, and gave extra reward.

  The Crown Princess tried to please the Queen by some unknown means before, but now she discovered that the Queen liked the food from the dessert shop outside the palace very much, so she bought a lot of it from time to time and sent it to the palace to honor her mother-in-law.

  The Queen could not resist such filial respect at all. Not to mention that the food tasted delicious, just the presence of such food was enough to make all the concubines in the palace, except the Imperial Concubine, come to her eagerly.
Before the red lacquered wooden box was delivered to Penglai Palace, all the concubines in the palace had already received the news, so there was a large gathering of people to pay their respects that day, all waiting to feast on the feast once again in the Queen's Palace.

  "Your Majesty, I have been thinking about the matcha cake since I tasted it last time. I still think about it today."

  "Yes, I am also looking forward to it every day, hoping that the Imperial Food Bureau can make the cake one day, so that we can enjoy it to our heart's content, without having to look forward to it every day like we do now."

  "I heard that the Crown Princess sent desserts from outside the palace again today. Queen, what are they?"

  Seeing these sincere and eager eyes, the Queen couldn't help but smile and said, "To be honest, I haven't seen it yet either. The Crown Princess only sent a message yesterday saying that there would be desserts served today, so I quickly informed the sisters in the palace."

  Concubine Huo rolled her eyes and said, "Look how proud you are! Ever since the Queen became the only source of desserts outside the palace, these low-ranking concubines have been trying to curry favor with the Queen and buy her desserts just to get a bite to eat."

  She mocked mercilessly: "You guys wag your tails at the queen every day just for a bite of dessert, like lapdogs. Don't you feel ashamed? If it gets out of the palace, people will say that concubines wag their tails and beg for mercy because of stuttering. Wouldn't that bring disgrace to the royal family?"

  These words were unpleasant to the ear, and everyone in Penglai Palace changed their expressions.

  The queen also stopped smiling. "Last time we had the matcha cake in this palace, the imperial concubine didn't get to eat it. After she returned, she almost overturned the small kitchen because the imperial chef in the small kitchen couldn't make the matcha cake. She even almost wrote a letter to my brother outside the palace, asking him to buy it and send it to me."
