Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Ying nodded and did not say anything else.
The next day, because a large number of officials got beheaded, the streets were in a mess early in the morning. After the couple were woken up, they looked at each other and had no choice but to get up.
However, neither of them was in the mood to watch the show. After dinner, Gu Chengrui went to report to King Rui.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying took out some paste made from the honey-marinated roses and made a flower cake.
As soon as the flower cakes were out of the pot, Mingyu ran in with a smile. “It looks like I made it in time today. I can’t believe I ran into you cooking personally.”
“Have a taste of this flower cake.” Zhou Ying handed her a piece after she finished speaking.
Mingyu did not hesitate and directly ate it up.
A moment later, she gave her a thumbs up and praised, “Not bad. It’s sweet but not oily. It’s full of fragrance and very delicious.
“This is the first time I know cakes can be made from fresh flowers. It really has a different flavor from all the cakes I ate before.”
“If you like it, take it. I can still make two more pots.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and got busy again.
Mingyu nodded and ate another piece. She washed her hands and learned how to make cakes right after that.
When another two cakes were ready, Zhou Ying carried one of them and handed the other to Chunxiang and Dongxiang. She and Mingyu then went to the living room.
She then asked Niu Lirong to make a cup of rose tea for each of them.
After sitting down, Zhou Ying saw that Mingyu was not in a good mood and asked curiously, “Are you here today for something?”
“No, I just came to hide and relax.” Mingyu shook her head.
Zhou Ying saw that she didn’t want to talk about it, so she didn’t ask further. Instead, she asked, “By the way, how’s your female soldier’s training going?”
“My brother said that it’s going pretty well, and the Emperor has also approved of it. However, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to become a female soldier in the future.”
“It can’t be. The Crown Prince shouldn’t object to that.”
“But my mother is in a hurry to get me married. If I get married, how can I have the time to train my troops?”
“Marriage? Yeah, you’re not young anymore. You should definitely consider it.” Zhou Ying looked at her distressed face and asked thoughtfully, “Don’t tell me you have someone else in your heart, and your mother doesn’t agree?”
“No, but my mother brings over ten portraits for me to look at every day. It’s like she’s choosing a consort for me. I’m so annoyed.”
“Because you didn’t show any interest in anyone. If someone actually grabbed your eye, you wouldn’t be annoyed, but you would be delighted.”
“Ah, huh.., I don’t know either. I just feel so annoyed. What do you think I should do?”
“Sooner or later, you will have to pa.s.s this time in your life. Find one. Once you find a suitor, your mother will definitely not say anything. By the way, what kind of person are you interested in? Do you have any idea?” Zhou Ying asked.
“I don’t like weaklings, but my mother doesn’t want me to find a general. She said that generals are always away from home, and it will be very tiring for me to support a family.”
“But do you want to find a general, or do you just want to find someone strong? You have to be clear about this.”
Mingyu’s eyes rolled around a few times after hearing that. “That’s true.
Actually, someone like brother-in-law is fine. I just don’t want someone from the academy.”
“Those men can’t carry weight on their shoulders or lift a box with their hands. It makes me angry just looking at it.”
Zhou Ying understood her type after listening. To put it bluntly, she did not want a scholar. “Why? Are all the people your mother introduced scholars?”
“More or less. Even if the person is an official’s son, he’s also a scholar-graduate.
“I heard the new Emperor would be ascending the throne soon. With so many officials dead, they will definitely open special examinations next year. By then, the future of these scholars will be bright..”
