The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 632 - 629: Who Made the Steamed Buns

Empress Dowager was in a great mood after the meal, but Empress Feng felt envious and itchy at the sight.

"Delicious. Shi Guiren, your White Jade Steamed Buns are very good, and the Candied Hawthorn is also great. Among so many concubines, only you are the most thoughtful."

After returning to the palace, Empress Dowager hadn’t had such a satisfying meal until today, which she truly enjoyed.

"If Empress Dowager likes it, your servant will send some to you every morning from now on."

Seeing this, Shi Guiren also felt secretly delighted.

"You’ve been thoughtful as well, and it wouldn’t be right for me to always take from you. You’ve been at the palace for some time now, a trusted old servant by the Emperor’s side, and have given birth to a Prince; I will speak to the Emperor later and promote you to concubine."

Empress Dowager felt content, and the more she looked at Shi Guiren, the happier she was. Through a casual remark, Shi Guiren was promoted.

Empress Feng, upon hearing this, felt drastic changes in her expression but couldn’t show her displeasure openly, so she had to grit her teeth and made a mental note of the situation.

Shi Guiren, who hadn’t been promoted for months, was now elevated to concubine status all because of a few buns and Candied Hawthorn.

The next day, Shi Guiren indeed became Shi Pin.

Once the news spread, the Imperial Palace was stir up.

Especially the group led by Consort Zhao, they were extremely furious.

They had prepared so many precious medicinal ingredients and soups, all to no avail.

Knowing that the Empress Dowager liked vegetarian steamed buns, after the event, the concubines also ordered the Imperial Kitchen to make steamed buns, all kinds of them - sweet, savory, they tried everything, but when sent to the Empress Dowager, she didn’t even spare them a glance and only favored the flavor of the White Jade Steamed Buns sent by Shi Guiren.

These White Jade Steamed Buns were delivered early in the morning by Little Lin.

Xin Lin, although outside the palace, has been always concerned about Shi Guiren. She received a hint from Lu Yuan and knew she needed to act indirectly, starting with Empress Dowager.

Just as Lu Yuan reminded her, Empress Dowager had a poor appetite recently.

After doing some research, Xin Lin found out Empress Dowager’s preferences.

Xin Lin thought of her White Jade Steamed Buns and Candied Hawthorn.

Sure enough, the attempt was a success.

When Shi Pin sent the good news to Xin Lin, Xin Lin just smiled and did not say much, knowing that this was just the beginning of acting indirectly.

With the support of the Empress Dowager, Shi Pin’s days within the Imperial Palace would be somewhat better.

And consequently, in Qingtian Academy, the antagonism that the Third Prince and others had towards Little Xinzhuo also diminished somewhat.

Inside Fuluan Palace, Empress Feng was seething with anger.

"Spent two whole days and still couldn’t find out who made the special steamed buns from Taichang Temple?"

The Empress Dowager was very fond of the White Jade Steamed Buns. It is said that this morning when Emperor Longteng went to greet the Empress Dowager, he also tasted the White Jade Steamed Bun and praised it highly.

Only then did Empress Feng realize that the situation was serious.

She had already ordered an investigation into the origin of the White Jade Steamed Buns, but so far, they had no leads.

Indeed, the Monks from Taichang Temple were consuming White Jade Steamed Buns, but for some reason, they have been out of stock in recent days.

As for who made the White Jade Steamed Buns, it was not from any of the known Spiritual Food Restaurant in the city.

"Continue to investigate and also ask De Yue Building if they can replicate the same White Jade Steamed Buns." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Empress Feng had some connections with Master Chen from De Yue Building.

But the answer she got was that De Yue Building could not make the White Jade Steamed Buns either.

Empress Feng could only continue to order the investigation of this matter, while on the other hand, Master Chen was still racking his brain for a way to acquire the Phoebe Wood Sign.

No matter how he attempted, the words "Chu’s Restaurant" remained firmly on the sign, undisturbed, until Empress Feng’s people brought her the White Jade Steamed Buns.
