Chapter 154
Xia Mu cleaned up in the dining room of the palace alone for a long time. Because she was inexperienced, when she whipped the cream, the automatic mixer splashed the whipped cream everywhere.
Several pastry chefs who were in charge of breakfast tried to help, but she refused. She wanted to do it all by herself.
Therefore, Xia Mu also contracted the work of cleaning up the "wreckage" in the kitchen.
After washing the dessert molds, she took off her apron and walked out the door. She saw the butler standing outside the door and nodded politely to her.
"Your Highness is tasting the dessert you made yourself." He smiled.
Xia Mu immediately smiled gratefully and said, "It's really troublesome for you!"
The butler is really a kind person.
Half an hour ago, when Xia Mu was carrying the dessert she had worked so hard to put on the breakfast dining car, she was stopped by the pastry chef and a few servants. Thanks to the passing housekeeper, he helped her add the cake to the gift list and serve it Go in front of Juanjuan.
After staying in the palace for two days, Xia Mu deeply realized what strict discipline is.
As a guest, she didn't even have the right to go upstairs to look for the crown prince without being summoned by the host. If it wasn't for the help of the housekeeper, her hard work this morning would have been in vain.
"I made coffee." Xia Mu wanted to repay his favor, and turned to take the cup affectionately, "How about a cup?"
"You don't have to take it to heart, Miss Xia, it's just a matter of lifting your hands. If there is any trivial matter that needs my help in the future, just dial my number."
With more than ten years of service career, the butler is very sensitive to the direction of his superiors, because his professional future can only bet on the person selected by the crown prince.
The day before yesterday, during the Xia family's dinner with the royal family, the butler had already keenly noticed that the little crown prince would steal glances at Miss Xia from time to time.
This is too abnormal. In the past, the Omegas who came to the palace as guests were courteous and sought after, but they never returned such "intentional" glances from the crown prince.
This Miss Xia may have a bright future.
Therefore, he is more willing to please Xia Mu than to please the crown prince, because the crown prince seldom interferes with the transfer of personnel in the palace, and those in the palace are all queens or princes of the past.
The highest-ranking butler in the palace is the personal maid brought by the queen from her natal family. She shares the same mother-daughter relationship with the queen, and her status cannot be shaken.
In his life, it is impossible for him to win a higher status than the chief housekeeper in front of the queen, so he can only start with the next princess.
Xia Mu is an excellent target.
This girl came from an ordinary background, she was not the eldest lady of a famous family, she had no competent servants around her, and she was very easy to please.
He intends to take risks and assist Xia Mu to climb to the top, so as to fight for his own future.
"You really helped me a lot." Xia Mu poured the coffee, put two sugar cubes, turned around and brought it to the butler, "None of those male servants were willing to bring the cake for me, and even asked them to send a message. It is not in compliance with the regulations, thanks to you, how can I thank you?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "It would be great if you could go upstairs with me and dine with His Highness."
Xia Mu's eyes lit up: "Can I go upstairs now?"
"Why not?" The butler smiled kindly.
Xia Mu rushed out happily, not forgetting to turn her head and smile at the housekeeper.
The butler nodded politely, thinking that the "satisfaction" in the princess-to-be's smile was probably enough for him to be promoted two levels in one go.
-
Xia Mu knocked on the door, and before Juanjuan could respond, he opened the door and walked in.
In the room, Juanjuan was standing by the coffee table near the floor-to-ceiling windows, worrying about the cheesecake on the trolley, and holding a plate of unpalatable cake in his hand.
"Is it delicious?" Xia Mu jumped to Juanjuan's side and asked with a smile, completely unaware of what self-knowledge is.
After all, it was her first labor achievement. Even if the bear cub didn't like it, it was impossible for him to speak up, right?
His Highness will definitely say: "I have never eaten such a delicious dessert".
That's how it's played on TV anyway!
However, His Royal Highness Eggroll has always been upright, so he answered simply——
"Your butter hasn't been whipped, the top layer is cheese, and the bottom is all melted into water, and the powdered sugar is floating on the surface, making it hard to swallow."
Xia Mu: "..."
Believe it or not, I'll paste the cake on your face!
The cub looked at her sideways with resentment, as if saying silently: "Everything I cook is better than yours."
"Oh." Xia Mu pursed her mouth, don't get too angry: "Is it so unpalatable? Then don't eat it."
His Royal Highness Eggroll immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, and was about to put the plate back on the cart, when Xia Mu glared at him suddenly!
Xia Mu's eyes were like blades, as if saying, "If you really dare to lose it, I will pull out all your dragon scales!"
His Royal Highness Eggroll was shocked, instinctively brought the plate hanging above the cart back to him, and looked at the stupid cat helplessly——
Didn't she tell him not to eat it?
Only then did Xia Mu put away his murderous aura, like a cat after a fur-fried demonstration, gracefully licking the pads and retracting its sharp claws.
She reservedly walked to the cart, and asked softly, "What's the matter? Your Highness still wants to eat?"
Glancing at the stupid cat's murderous eyes, His Royal Highness the Egg Roll dared not want to eat it, and swallowed the unknown brown object on the plate with tears in his eyes.
After completing the task, Xia Mu took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the empty dinner plate, went downstairs to the house contentedly, and posted the photo on Weibo with a paragraph of text——
"It's the first time I made desserts, and that person was very supportive. I ate them all, so it shouldn't be unpalatable, right?"
There were a lot of replies on Weibo, and they were basically gossiping about who her "that person" was.
Many netizens asked questions in a guessing way——
"Officer Mu Mu is making dessert at home? Does that mean family members or lovers?"
"Is that the lawyer surnamed Jiang?"
"Oh my god! It's only this morning, is Mu Mu living with Lawyer Jiang yet?"
"The other party didn't accept your dog food and kicked over your dog bowl!"
Someone also posted a still photo of Xia Mu rehearsing a drama with Jiang Wu in the early years, and commented that it was very eye-catching.
Xia Mu was frightened by this wave of messages, worried that Cub Xiong looked at her Weibo, and hesitated to delete it, but...
After about 5 minutes, there were only two or three comments in twos and threes, but suddenly they increased by hundreds——
"Crowds watching without knowing the truth to report!"
"What does your highness mean by this praise?"
"Drip! Egg roll card."
"It's the first time His Highness Wuli Egg Roll gave someone a thumbs up!"
like?
Xia Mu was startled by the insanely long messages, and hurriedly followed the vine to find Juanjuan's Weibo, and found that there was an extra Weibo with likes on His Highness's homepage...
That's right, what she liked was the one she just posted, "It's my first time making desserts, and that one is quite supportive, shouldn't it be unpalatable?"
Xia Mu looked confused, how could the bear cub think of giving her a thumbs up?
Obviously, she didn't agree with her point of view that "it's not unpalatable". Based on her understanding of black-bellied cubs, it's impossible for this behavior to be purposeless, let alone to praise her. Why would that be?
Xia Mu, who was at a loss, quickly analyzed the clues from the soaring comments——
"Why do you like it! Could it be that His Highness ate this dessert?!"
"It's not quite right. Look at this dinner plate. The VIP area was exposed at the state banquet. It has the same pattern and material. It should be tableware from the palace."
"Oh my god, what's the situation now? Is this girl living in the palace? Is she living with His Highness? I! No! No!"
……
In just a few minutes, the guesses related to Jiang Wu just now were quickly submerged in the crowd.
Because of a "like", Xia Mu's territory was completely occupied by a fan of a black-bellied cub, forcing Jiang Wu and her scandal into outer space!
The influence of this Weibo was beyond Xia Mu's control. It didn't take long before her mobile phone began to vibrate constantly. It was all messages from her girlfriends, classmates and even colleagues, asking her "Whether the cake was eaten by Jiang Wu or by the crown prince?" have eaten".
Several of her girlfriends took turns calling to verify.
Xia Mu was worried about leaking the news, so he could only say perfunctorily: It was eaten by the family.
Girlfriends firmly do not believe it.
She hung up the call helplessly, and her colleague called again.
Fortunately, the relationship is not as close as that of girlfriends, and it is inconvenient for colleagues to directly ask about her personal affairs on Weibo, so they can only happily invite her to the evening work dinner.
"Can you invite Juanjuan too?" On the phone, the colleague giggled and asked tentatively, "Can we still call your Highness that way now? Yes, Xiaoxia, it's hidden deep enough."
Xia Mu was a little stuck and didn't know how to answer.
She didn't really want Juan to go back to the police station to attend the party, not because she was worried about the gang of colleagues who became fans besieging Juan, but...
It's just that I don't want Juanjuan to see Tian Wenshan again.
Suddenly I felt that my mind was smaller than the eye of a needle.
Tian Wenshan has a good relationship with her, but this is based on the fact that they don't talk about each other. It's best not to break this delicate balance.
