Queen Sophia was undoubtedly very experienced in how to be a good woman.
Under her teachings, Princess Anna learned a lot of experience.
After considering for a few days, she decided to give it a try.
Every empress's palace was equipped with a kitchen, and Princess Anna's palace naturally had one too.
Princess Anna was now a noble consort, so the standard of the kitchen was quite high, and all kinds of ingredients were available.
After the cooks in the kitchen left, Anna busied herself in the kitchen.
Princess Anna wasn't a virgin.
On the contrary, her culinary skills were superb, all thanks to Queen Sophia's excellent teaching.
Queen Sophia had almost no flaws as a woman, except for her slightly weak personality. She was perfect in every aspect.
As her daughter, Princess Anna also inherited many of her mother's strengths, and cooking was naturally one of them.
As it had been too long since he had cooked personally, his culinary skills were inevitably a little sparse.
However, after only two failures, Princess Anna succeeded.
"Done."
Placing the pastries on a luxurious plate, Princess Anna heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to wipe the sweat off her face, she suddenly realized that her hands were covered in flour and could not help but laugh.
Looking at the dark night outside, Anna thought for a moment and went back to the palace to wash up and change into a thin long dress.
She had been in the palace for quite some time, so she had some understanding of Li Chengdao's habits.
At this time, Li Chengdao was usually alone in the royal study dealing with government affairs. Now was the best time to go.
After the maid took the food box, Princess Anna walked out of the Dragon Palace and disappeared into the night.
.........
In the royal study.
It was already late at night, but the royal study was still brightly lit.
Occasionally, eunuchs or patrolling imperial guards would pass by from afar, and they could not help but cast respectful gazes at them.
It was truly the country's fortune for the emperor to be so diligent.
Li Chengdao was in the royal study looking at the latest military rations of the various armies.
Ever since the workers 'enthusiasm for work had been discovered, the production of armaments had increased substantially.
Up until now, apart from the Heavy Armor Army and the Buddha Army, which had not been fully upgraded, the other major military units had completed the upgrade of their armaments.
A comprehensive update of equipment meant that the strength of the army would rise to a new level!
"Based on the current situation, we can basically complete the equipment upgrade of all the troops before the Eastern Expedition begins.”
"This way, our chances of success in the Eastern Expedition will increase.”
Li Chengdao nodded in satisfaction and closed the report in his hand.
At this moment, the pen-wielding eunuch walked in and bowed.""Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has arrived and is waiting outside the royal study.”
"Hmm?"
Li Chengdao was slightly stunned and did not react for a moment.
A moment later, he remembered that the Imperial Concubine was Princess Anna.
After taking Princess Anna into his harem, he had not paid much attention to her and had almost forgotten her existence.
"It's so late. Why is she here?”
Li Chengdao was a little puzzled, but after thinking for a while, he still said,"Let her in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The pen-wielding eunuch left upon receiving the order and returned shortly after.
But this time, he was accompanied by Princess Anna.
After Princess Anna entered the royal study, the first thing she saw was Li Chengdao behind the dragon table.
She had guessed right. Li Chengdao had not rested yet.
However, she immediately retracted her gaze and bowed."Greetings, Your Majesty."
The movements were standard, a formal Eastern court etiquette.
"Rise."
Li Chengdao only took a glance and his expression did not change. He asked indifferently,"What's the matter?"
His attitude was neither salty nor indifferent, but the distance in his tone was obvious.
Princess Anna was not discouraged by his attitude. She smiled and said,""Your Majesty is busy until very late every day and is very tired. Today, my ChenQie specially made some pastries, hoping that they will suit Your Majesty's appetite.”
As she spoke, she took out the food box and personally went forward to place the few pastries inside one by one on the dragon table.
“.........”
Li Chengdao looked at the pastries and didn't say anything, but he was very surprised.
He didn't expect Princess Anna to know how to cook, and it seemed that she was not bad at it.
Most importantly, she had specially made this for him.
One had to know that Princess Anna hated him more than a month ago, but now she was making pastries for him personally. This made him think in this direction.
"Is there poison in this?"
Li Chengdao couldn't help but think.
Princess Anna's abnormal behavior was really abnormal.
However, he knew that this was basically impossible, because even if the cakes were sent over, they would have to be tested for poison by the eunuch first.
Thinking of this, Li Chengdao looked up at Princess Anna.
Princess Anna was wearing a long dress today, which made her look noble and elegant. Her already delicate face was slightly made up, and under the warm light, she looked even more beautiful.
She looked similar to Queen Sophia, but they were completely different.
Compared to the mature and charming Queen Sophia, who was like a ripe peach, she looked younger and purer.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Don't you have an appetite?”
Seeing that Li Chengdao kept looking at her without saying anything, Princess Anna blushed and asked.
Li Chengdao retracted his gaze and revealed a rare smile."It's nothing. I'm just hungry, so let's try it.”
It was the first time Princess Anna saw Li Chengdao smile, and she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
When he came back to his senses, Li Chengdao had already picked up the pastries on the plate and enjoyed them.
He ate very carefully, and his every move exuded an elegant and calm aura.
Seeing Li Chengdao eat the food she made, Princess Anna's eyes flashed with joy.
However, she immediately thought of her mother's teachings, so she said,"Your Majesty, ChenQie has prepared a dance for Your Majesty to enjoy.”
After saying that, she picked up the corner of her skirt and bowed.
Then, without waiting for Li Chengdao to reject or accept, she started dancing in the spacious royal study.
