Chapter 208
The cook presented the cake embryo, and Wen Wan nodded with satisfaction. Although it was steamed, it was still very beautiful.
Remove the excess edges and corners so that the cake becomes a complete circle.
Wen Wan could only do the next decoration by himself, and could not expect the cook to know how to decorate the flowers.
In fact, Wen Wan didn't know much about decorating flowers, but he had seen it before. In terms of experience, he was naturally more expert than the cook.
Without decorating tools, Wen Wan could only use existing props to spread cream on the cake.
The white cream is spread layer by layer on top of the cake, which looks very delicious.
The decoration was relatively rough, so Wen Wan asked someone to cut some fruit and put it on top, making it a fruit cake.
Then write the words "Happy Birthday" on the cake.
"Xiao Wan'er, the happy birthday you wrote, does it mean birthday?" Gao Yeyun is still quite new to the word birthday.
"You're not stupid, you're quite smart!" Wen Wan smiled at Gao Yeyun.
Gao Yeyun curled his lips and said, "I'm very smart to begin with!"
Looking at the finished cake, although it was not as good as the one bought in a cake shop, it was already very beautiful, and Wen Wan felt very happy.
"Okay, now take the cake out!" Wen Wan said to the maid behind him who was passing the dishes.
Gao Yeyun stared at the cake and kept following him. Wen Wan saw him and asked Gao Yejing behind him: "Has your second brother always been so addicted to sweets?"
"Haha, yes, I have liked sweets since I was a child. When I was marching and fighting, I rarely saw them. I didn't expect that I would be back to the way I was when I was a child!"
Gao Yejing looked at Gao Yeyun staring at the cake, and remembered that he was like this when he was a child. He liked to eat sweets, and once tempted him to eat sweets, saying that eating sweets would make people feel better.
.
"Your second brother is actually quite happy like this." Wen Wan said with emotion.
"How do you say this?" Gao Yejing didn't think Gao Yeyun was living a comfortable life now.
"Because he lives at the age he likes and doesn't need to experience the complexity of the adult world!" If possible, Wen Wan hopes that she can become a little stupider so that people around her can treat her well.
"Maybe!" Gao Yejing smiled. Gao Yeyun's life is not simple. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his current life is the most complicated.
However, these words would naturally not be said to Wen Wan.
Several people followed him out of the kitchen.
The cake is placed on the big table in the hall.
"Xiao Wan'er, can I eat it now?" Gao Yeyun looked greedy.
"Not yet. Today I am the birthday boy. I must blow out the candles and cut the cake before you can eat it."
Wen Wan's voice softened unconsciously, but he didn't realize it.
"Blow out the candles? We didn't light any candles in broad daylight!" Gao Yeyun looked around, wondering what candle Wen Wan wanted to blow out.
"There must be candles on the birthday cake. After lighting it, I will make a wish." Wen Wan turned to the maid and said, "Are there any small candles? The smaller the better, preferably as thin as our little finger."
"
"Slave, I'll go look for you." The maid thought for a moment, then went looking for candles everywhere.
There are still a lot of candles in the palace, but they are all relatively large candles, and there are no candles that are thinner than a little finger as Wen Wan said.
After a while, the maid came back with a handful of candles in her hand and said: "Princess, there are thicker candles in the house, and there are no small candles like you mentioned. This is the thinnest one."
Wen Wan looked at the candle in the maid's hand and felt a little dumbfounded. It was just for lighting lamps, but she couldn't force that much.
"Is there any white one?" Wen Wan asked.
"This... there can't be white candles in the palace..."
It is unlucky for a maid to hesitate.
"Okay..." Wen Wan could only give up.
"Xiao Wan'er, why do you need white for everything?" Gao Yeyun couldn't help but be curious. White is not an auspicious color, but Wen Wan didn't seem to care.
"Is there any?"
Wen Wan didn't think so, but in retrospect, the wedding dress was white, the cake was white, and even the candles, she still asked for them to be white, which was really the case.
"No matter how many there are, red ones are fine. Just give me one candle."
Even one candle holds many candles.
Wen Wan inserted the candle firmly into the center and ordered the maid to light it.
Although it looks a bit nondescript, Wen Wan still feels very warm.
"I'll teach you how to sing Happy Birthday, okay?"
Wen Wan looked at the people around the table and said.
"Do you want to sing on your birthday?" Gao Yejing found it interesting and asked, "I don't know how to sing?"
"It's very simple, listen up!" Wen Wan smiled and taught them to sing the birthday song, and also encouraged the maids around her.
No one had ever seen a birthday cake or heard a birthday song, so they all found it interesting and joined in one after another.
"Is it very simple?" Wen Wan asked.
Gao Yejing learned it quickly, but he still felt that it was somewhat inappropriate for a grown man to sing. He said, "It seems a little strange for a man to sing."
"No, you have a very good voice. If you were in modern times, you would have made your debut. With a good image, good temperament, and talent, you would be a star of tomorrow!"
Wen Wan praised without exaggeration.
However, according to Gao Yejing's identity and status, he might still be dismissive of little stars, right?
Everyone was a little confused, not knowing what Wen Wan was talking about.
Seeing this, Wen Wan changed the topic. Seeing that Gao Yeyun beside him remained silent, he asked: "Why don't you sing?"
"Singing is something only girls do at home. I don't know how to sing!" Gao Yeyun said disdainfully.
"But I just want to hear you sing now!"
Wen Wan felt that Gao Yeyun's machismo was quite serious, although he could not be entirely blamed for this. After all, he was born in this era and was still a prince, so it was inevitable that he would have some airs.
"Xiao Wan'er, I can give you whatever you like. Forget about singing!" Gao Yeyun struggled.
"Oh, I knew that everything you just said was a lie to me." Wen Wan said and lowered his head sadly.
It was clear that he was in high spirits just now, but now he suddenly changed. Gao Yeyun was also anxious and quickly coaxed: "Xiao Wan'er, I'm not lying to you. I can give you whatever you like."
"You said it, but your words don't count."
Wen Wan pouted, looking unhappy.
"I said it, but how come it doesn't count? Xiao Wan'er, you really wronged me."
"Then I just ask you to sing now, but you don't want to. The birthday gift I want is for you to sing for me!"
The more Gao Yeyun was reluctant to sing, the more Wen Wan wanted him to sing. In fact, it was not a matter of forcing him to do it, but he just didn't want such a good atmosphere to be ruined.
"Will you be happy if I sing?" Gao Yeyun asked.
"Yes, on such a happy day, wouldn't it be nice for us all to sing together?" Wen Wan blinked her big eyes, which were so beautiful that they fascinated Gao Yeyun for a moment.
By some strange coincidence, Gao Yeyun nodded and said, "Okay."
Hearing this, Gao Yejing was also stunned. He has never heard Gao Yeyun sing before he has grown up like this!
"Then you sing!" Wen Wan looked at Gao Yeyun excitedly.
At this time, Gao Yeyun felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed to sing out.
Seeing this, Wen Wan said very understandingly: "Let's all sing together!"
So Wen Wan raised his head and everyone started singing. In order for Wen Wan to have a happy birthday, Gao Yeyun risked his life and started singing.
Unknowingly, everyone stopped and looked at Gao Yeyun in shock, followed by a burst of snickering.
Only Gao Yejing and Wen Wan laughed loudly, the maids covered their mouths and laughed secretly, not daring to be disrespectful to their master. Even Liu Yunchuan's iceberg face, which had not changed for thousands of years, couldn't help but collapse.
Gao Yeyun immediately fell silent and looked at Wen Wan and Gao Yejing angrily.
"Second brother, I didn't expect your singing to be so ugly!" Gao Yejing covered his stomach and laughed wildly.
"What did you say?" Gao Yeyun gritted his teeth bitterly.
"King Yun, I shouldn't force you to sing. It's really hard for you, but I accept your kindness."
Wen Wan never thought that someone could sing Happy Birthday like this. It was not in the same key at all, and it was also very off-key.
In fact, Gao Yeyun's voice is pretty good, but the tune has gone somewhere and I can't get it back.
"I said I wouldn't sing, but you insist on asking me to sing, and now you laugh at me." Gao Yeyun said a little aggrievedly, pouting his lips, puffing out his cheeks, and his face was full of displeasure.
Wen Wan knew that this was also Gao Yeyun's intention, so he suppressed all his laughter and began to coax Gao Yeyun: "Don't be angry, okay? It's my fault, please forgive me!" "Humph!"
Gao Yeyun crossed his hands on his chest, like an angry child.
"Don't be angry. Can I give you all the cake?" Wen Wan took out sweets to seduce Gao Yeyun.
But Gao Yeyun didn't buy it, and still snorted coldly, thinking to himself that now that his cook has learned how to eat it, it is not easy to eat it.
Seeing that Gao Yeyun didn't buy it at all, Wen Wan simply stopped coaxing him, and deliberately turned cold and said: "Forget it, birthdays should be happy, but now I have to coax you, and I can't be happy at all now!
snort!"
Gao Yeyun didn't expect that he originally wanted Wen Wan to comfort him, but he didn't expect that Wen Wan was the one who was angry now.
"Zhiji, let's go! What are you doing here looking at other people's faces!" Wen Wan pretended to be angry and wanted to leave, without even looking at Gao Yeyun.
"Yes, miss." Zhiji knew that Wen Wan was not really angry, so he cooperated with Wen Wan.
