Chapter 21 What? Did everyone know?

imity and wisdom by aligning with him. On the other hand, using GeGe Song could also be a way to suppress GeGe Li, who has been rather favored lately.The Fujin kept hesitating, allowing this concubine..."Is there a smaller oven than this" Virgin gestured with her hands, "Not that kind, the kind that you can put a baking tray in to bake pastries...the square one."

If that were the case, then an oven specifically for baking delicate pastries wouldn't just be absent from our place; it wouldn't exist anywhere in the entire imperial kitchen. The only place you'd find one would be the Imperial Culinary Bureau. Master Chef shook his head.

Imperial kitchen

Forget it, let's talk about it in the next life after I get the script for "I Was a Chef in the Qing Dynasty."

Virgin sighed, and looked up and down at the large oven in front of her. The more she looked, the less appealing it seemed.

She really doesn't need and wouldn't dare to use such a big and high oven.

Virgin's stove longing sigh, almost crying, already imagining myself this small body stepping on the flower pot bottom and then stepping on a stool to peek my head tremblingly and hard trying to paste pancakes into the oven...

Won't it fall in

Even if it doesn't go in, it would burn her silky hair or scald her delicate hands, wouldn't it

A wave of heat swept from the oven, making Virgin feel as if she were being roasted. She hurriedly took two steps back.

"Master, why don't you just...go back to learning embroidery" Fuling quickly helped her master up, swallowing nervously. Her heart was still pounding. "It's not a big deal if we don't make clothes or embroider flowers, even sachets and pouches are fine. You could just make...a few pairs of socks for Master, right I'll do the front part with Fuling and you can follow along like copying a cat drawing a tiger in the back. That should...be enough to get by, shouldn't it"

Virgin readily nodded her head: "Of course, I'm quick-witted and learn fast. Let's go back now and make socks."

Goodbye, she just reignited the passion to revive her past glory in ancient times!

Goodbye, her heart's desire cake, cookies, and durian pizza!

Returning to the small courtyard with a heavy heart, Wezhen couldn't wait to take a bath and change her clothes. It was hard on her to run under the scorching sun all the way to the kitchen and stand in front of the stove for so long; she almost got heatstroke.

"Fu Ling! Fu Ling! Have you brought the ice bowl"

“When the master spoke, Gancao went to the kitchen to get food.”

Virgin came out from inside with a head of wet, long hair. Fu Ling, who was waiting outside, saw her like this and quickly went in to get a handkerchief to wipe her hair, while muttering on and on like an old mother.

"Master, you can't do this. Even though it's hot outside, you shouldn't let the cool breeze blow on your warm body. Next time, please let your servant help you bathe inside."

When she first arrived, Ling and Gancao were there to help the Virgin bathe, but the Virgin couldn't stand being watched.

She was a true Southern girl, having never experienced taking a bath at a public bathhouse. Being stared at like this was simply unbearable; her toes felt like they were about to dig out an entire three-bedroom apartment! Besides, there were some things that Virigin didn't want anyone to discover.

Following the Fourth Master was exhilarating, but afterward, the cleanup was a real hassle, especially getting rid of... well, that thing. Vajina didn't want Lingzhi and Gancao to see it.

Virgin is not ready for pregnancy and childbirth, not just psychologically but also with a deep-seated fear of giving birth here.

Without hospitals, doctors, surgery, or anesthesia, it's just...brutal. Any little problem could be fatal. How could Wei Zhen not be afraid

Moreover, she really didn't dare to become pregnant before the Madam. If she gave birth to a legitimate eldest son, the Madam would probably hate her for life. As a mere junior consort, she wouldn't dare to challenge the Madam's authority; it would be courting death.

This is the way, it's really self-deception. Virgin knows it too, but at least it's better than nothing.

In this world without birth control, even Virjin is desperate.

Virgin instructed them that they wouldn't need to follow in and serve, so Ling and Gancao naturally couldn't rest assured. Therefore, they always left at least one person guarding the inner room door.

Virgin sat on the soft bed, lifted a teacup and took a sip, nonchalantly shaking her head: "It's no problem."

Fu Ling, with a serious expression, reminded Wei Zhen, "My lady, you mustn't take this lightly. Always letting your hair stay wet and dripping with moisture invites chills into your body, making it harder to conceive!"

"Poof!" The next second, Virgin couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

Fu Ling looked at her wet, soggy clothes and glanced at Wei Zhen with a wronged expression: "Mistress, did I say something wrong"

“You’re right, you make a lot of sense. I was too careless,” Wei Zhen hurriedly snatched the handkerchief from Fu Ling’s hand and wiped her clothes. “Just forget it, don’t say such things again in the future, it would be embarrassing for people to hear.”

Fu Ling gave a ghostly expression: “Master, before you tried every trick to see who would conceive first with Song Gege. You prayed to gods and Buddha, secretly drank miscarriage pills… Every method imaginable was used, now…”

How come you suddenly became so tactful, mild-mannered, and submissive

Virgin:：“……”

A three-room apartment In a blink of an eye, her toes could claw out a large flat plus two big balconies.

Virgin was awkwardly about to say something when a flurry of footsteps sounded, and she saw Licorice come back carrying an ice bowl. Virgin couldn't help but sigh with relief, thinking, "Licorice is really a little angel who always comes to save the day."

Hey What's with that expression, little angel Why are you making such a sad face

"What's wrong Who wronged you" Virgin asked.

Licorice shook her head, placed the ice bowl on the table, and then said in a crying voice: "Master, something's wrong! Now everyone in the backyard knows that you're going to make candied fruit for Master Young!"

A flat balcony is nothing! A magic castle has sprung up in front of Virgin, with ten thousand grass mud horses and screaming chickens roaring past!

Virgin was dumbfounded, her mind buzzing: "What Everyone knows"

Virgin seemed to be still in shock, while Ling had already jumped up anxiously.

"How could this be The master only went to the kitchen for a moment, and he even went when there were few people around. How could it be that everyone knows about it in just a short while"

“I don’t know either, but on my way back just now, I ran into three or four groups who came to ask me about it. Not only were there little eunuchs from the kitchen and rough maidservants responsible for laundry, but also Manxiu, the maid in Song Gege’s room!” Gancao's eyes welled up with tears. "Master, what should we do now"

The kitchen's large oven was too much for her to handle, so she had changed her mind and decided to knit socks for the Fourth Master instead. She was just going through the motions, but at least it would get her by. But now that word of her making exquisite pastries for the Fourth Master on the Qixi Festival has gotten out, I'm afraid everyone in the front yard has heard about it.

If she only brings out a few pairs of the least technically demanding socks at that time, that wouldn't be deceiving the king...

No, no, no, is it the Fourth Master's deceptionand said, "Yes, as soon as she returned yesterday, Su Peisheng took the initiative to go and get the board. Later on, he was carried back. Many people saw it with their own eyes. But now that Xiao Gra...
