Chapter 180 Yun Yan'er Volunteered To Win The Ash Moon Empress!
The method for making dumpling wrappers consists of three steps.
First, remove the packaging from the snow-white flour and pour it into a bowl.
Second, add Entering Spirit liquid.
Third, gently knead the mixture with your hands until the liquid and flour are fully integrated.
Then let it sit for a while, and the dough will become soft and smooth, like white frost.
Qin Mu is now very skilled at making dumpling wrappers.
When the liquid and flour first start to blend, it will be very sticky, like cream puffs, soft and delicate.
It requires a special technique to knead and flatten it into a round shape, allowing the two different substances to fully merge.
This is a lengthy process and cannot be rushed.
As the liquid and flour fully combine, the dough will gradually become resilient.
Then, place the rolling pin on top of the dough and press it down, rolling it out into a full and thin wrapper, as thin as a butterfly wing.
Finally, fill the dumpling wrapper with the filling, making the dumplings more tender and smooth.
Then flip the dumpling wrapper over and gently pat it.
At this point, the dumplings are exquisite and flawless, like works of art.
This is a delicate and complex process.
Qin Mu is very meticulous in his work.
He ensures that each dumpling wrapper is just right, not too rich in liquid, and tries his best to avoid any leakage of the filling.
Otherwise, the batch of dumplings will not be perfect.
Meanwhile, Jie Hongyi sits on the side, her eyes slightly closed, lips slightly parted, silently regulating her breath.
She is dressed in a red robe, slender waist, and translucent skin, exuding a seductive charm from head to toe.
She is like an extremely enchanting flower, irresistible and tempting to be picked and tasted.
She is an unparalleled beauty.
Her appearance is extremely enchanting, her features exquisitely crafted as if by divine hands.
All of this combined gives a surreal feeling, as if seeing a fairy fallen from the heavens, noble and unmatched.
At this moment, she sits cross-legged on a cushion, breathing in and out, surrounded by a faint mist, dreamlike and ethereal, as if she could fly away at any moment.
Even the surrounding air seems to become gentle and fresh.
But Jie Hongyi's slightly rapid breathing reveals her emotional fluctuations, indicating that she has not entered a state of cultivation and is rather restless.
Because the sound of the rolling pin rolling the dumpling wrappers keeps reaching her ears, making it impossible for her to enter a state of cultivation.
"Mmm~"
Jie Hongyi suddenly let out a low hum.
She slowly opens her eyes and looks at Qin Mu in front of her, a faint blush appearing on her beautiful face.
She slightly turns her body, tilts her head, and whispers softly:
"Your Majesty, can I go out for a moment..."
At this moment, Qin Mu's movements do not pause.
Without lifting his head, he asks:
"Why do you want to go out?"
"I... I have a stomachache and need to use the restroom..."
Jie Hongyi's voice is barely audible.
But as soon as the words are spoken, she regrets it.
Why did she say that at this moment? Of all things, she had to say that!
It seems that my state of mind is really messed up, and I've started to talk nonsense...
Jie Hongyi bites her lip lightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, and silently prays that Qin Mu didn't hear her.
But unfortunately, with Qin Mu's strength, he naturally heard it, his eyebrows raised slightly, and his gaze immediately looked over.
There was a playful smile on his face, tauntingly saying,
"The mighty Empty Void Realm expert, actually has a stomachache?"
As soon as these words came out, Jie Hongyi's pretty face instantly turned red, blushing so much that it was almost dripping.
Her heart thumped and thumped incessantly.
She felt extremely embarrassed, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
What is this all about?
Why did she say such a thing?
But at this moment, she must come up with an excuse, otherwise, it would definitely be even more awkward later.
"Your Majesty, I... I really have a stomachache, please let me leave for the time it takes to burn an incense stick... just the time it takes to burn an incense stick..."
Jie Hongyi tried hard to maintain her composure and pleaded softly.
In order to escape from here, she couldn't care about much anymore.
"Is it true or false? Don't deceive Us, you should know that deceiving the emperor is a serious crime."
Qin Mu's smile faded from the corners of his mouth, his gaze indifferent. As he spoke, the rolling pin in his hand fell again, gently patting the dumpling skin, making it even smoother.
Jie Hongyi fell silent immediately, the blush on her cheeks deepening.
After a long while, she spoke softly,
"Hongyi wouldn't dare."
As soon as these words came out, even Jie Hongyi herself was somewhat shocked.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never submitted to anyone.
Even when facing the powerful enemies of the Ash Moon Dynasty, she did not flinch in the slightest, but instead crushed them with an extremely tough attitude.
But in the face of Qin Mu, she couldn't muster any resistance in her heart.
She even had a momentary thought of kneeling down and begging Qin Mu for forgiveness.
However, she forcibly suppressed this thought.
After all, she was the Ash Moon Empress!
Although she was now living under someone else's roof and being manipulated by others, she shouldn't abandon her dignity.
Jie Hongyi cursed herself inwardly for being weak.
She gritted her teeth and tried hard to restrain the strange feeling in her heart.
"Alright, then We will give you the time it takes to burn half an incense stick. If you don't come back within that time, We will punish you."
Qin Mu finally put down the rolling pin, then carefully observed Jie Hongyi for a long time, as if evaluating whether her 'stomachache' was an excuse or not.
"Thank you for Your Majesty's understanding."
Seeing Qin Mu agree, Jie Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a slight joy in her heart. She quickly stood up and hurriedly ran out of the door.
Yun Yan'er, who was kneading the dumpling skins on the side, chuckled and whispered in Qin Mu's ear,
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect this Ash Moon Empress to be quite cute. She's nothing like the rumors say, cold and terrifying. She even gets shy."
Qin Mu's lips curved into a smile without saying a word.
Yun Yan'er took the initiative again, "Your Majesty, do you want me to teach this Ash Moon Empress a lesson?"
Qin Mu thought for a moment and nodded, "Go ahead, if you can really tune up this Ash Moon Empress, then it will prove your ability."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, although I may not be good at storming cities and breaking through enemy lines, I am very good at this kind of thing. I have already established a close relationship with Jie Hongyi, it's as easy as pie to win her over!"
Yun Yan'er smiled mischievously, her expression full of confidence.
Qin Mu shook his head and laughed, pretending to be serious, "If you fail to complete the task, don't blame Us for not recognizing you."
"I promise to complete the task, Your Majesty, just wait and see~"
Yun Yan'er playfully blinked at Qin Mu, then lightly moved her lotus feet and eagerly chased after Jie Hongyi.
Qin Mu shook his head and continued rolling the dough. With the arrival of many new women in the Concubine Court Palace, the number of dumpling skins he had to make today had increased significantly.
This was a heavy task that couldn't be completed in a short time.
Qin Mu glanced at the hungry women and resumed his diligent work.
