Guo Chun raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Guo, speaking almost without hesitation: "Sister Noble Lady, you are lively, beautiful, lovely, and intelligent, and should naturally be favored by Your Majesty!"
"This concubine is willing to offer the method of making candied fruits without any reservation!"
Noble Lady Guo revealed a slight smile on her face: "Then if the Empress asks why the candied fruits became mine..."
Concubine Guo immediately replied: "This concubine accidentally caught a cold today, bedridden with incessant coughs, naturally unfit to prepare food for Your Majesty, lest the illness be passed to him!"
"We sisters are as one, and this recipe originally comes from the book Sister Noble Lady gave to this concubine, so it is most appropriate for sister to continue it!"
Noble Lady Guo's face eased considerably, and she began to walk forward, speaking as she went: "Saying it like that, it does make sense!"
