With the addition of Zhaohua and the two children, the originally quiet and cold meal in our imagination has now become very lively and even has a vague New Year flavor.
It's a bit like when she was in the Northland, celebrating the New Year with Han Muyun's family.
Zhu Sijia quietly wet her eyes.
Yan Xiu sat with her and didn't notice her change. Zhaohua opposite her handed her a handkerchief: "Why are Jieyu still crying?"
Zhu Sijia sniffed and said with a smile: "I just accidentally ate quick ginger and got spicy."
Yan Xiu told Zhu Ya: "Go and bring Jieyu a cup of warm tea."
Zhu Ya agreed. After a while, she brought a whole pot of lavender soup and poured it into Zhu Scarlett's cup: "Jieyu, please drink."
The glass pot in her hand was very different from what she usually saw. The bottle was not only extremely smooth, but also transparent, and one could clearly see what else was contained in the tea inside.
If you raise a few small fish in it, wouldn't it be like swimming around in the air with no place to stay and attracting children's attention?
"Why is the teapot in your hand so beautiful?"
"Where did you learn about this tea?"
Zhaohua and Yan Xiu spoke at the same time, but their focus was different.
Zhu Ya answered one by one: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Princess, this pot is called a glass pot, and the tea soup in the pot is taro puree and purple sweet potato milk tea made by your servant."
"This tea preparation method is on page 72 of the "Tea Classic". I haven't developed it yet. How did Miss Zhu know about it?"
Yan Xiu was surprised and a little angry.
You must know that the "Tea Classic" is an only copy, the only one in the entire Qin Dynasty, and it is locked in the study of Taiji Palace every day.
How could Zhu Ya make the same tea soup in advance without knowing it beforehand? Could it be that she bypassed the guards and entered Tai Chi Palace to steal?
"Miss Zhu, please tell me, where did you get this glass jug? I remember that foreign countries do not pay tribute to these."
Zhaohua stared at her hands.
A lot of questions came to Zhu Ya, which overwhelmed her and could not answer them in detail for a while.
Zhu Sijia took the teapot from Zhu Ya's hand and poured some milk tea into everyone's cup: "Your Majesty, Sister Huang, don't ask in a hurry. Let's eat and drink first before asking Miss Zhu."
What she said made sense, and Yan Xiu and Zhaohua stopped questioning Zhu Ya.
It was the first time for Huaijin and Huaiyu to drink milk tea. After one cup, they did not care about the royal etiquette they usually learned. In front of Yan Xiu, they continued to drink milk tea noisily.
Most of the pots of milk tea were consumed by them.
Although the hot pot and milk tea are delicious, the taste is not small. After eating and drinking, Zhaohua first took her two children to the Jinlan Palace where she lived before getting married to bathe and change clothes.
Yan Xiu also took Zhu Sijia's hand and walked into the bathing room. The only living water hot spring in the palace was in the Changle Palace bathing room.
It wasn't until dark that he changed into a black robe and walked out of the bathroom refreshed. He looked at Zhu Ya coldly and said: "Follow me to Tai Chi Palace."
Zhu Sijia was exhausted and lay motionless on the bank of the hot spring. She smiled with satisfaction when she heard the sound of Yan Xiu striding away outside the house.
After another two hours, Zhu Ya returned safely.
Zhu Sijia's heart was shattered. Even if the charcoal purchase failed, Yan Xiu was definitely not someone who could be easily fooled. If Zhu Ya said the wrong thing, she would be killed accidentally.
"Jieyu, it's done! Your Majesty promised to allocate funds to purchase charcoal so that your slaves can use it to make glass in large quantities!"
"Your Majesty was originally worried about the cold wave and planned to ask your servant to handle this matter next year. In desperation, your servant lied and said that the glass products produced in winter are the best. Your Majesty agreed!"
"Your Majesty also said that he would not come to Changle Palace tonight for fear of disturbing Jieyu's rest."
Zhu Ya said excitedly.
Zhu Sijia directly rewarded her with four South China Sea Night Pearls, and also gave her a full three months of antidote:
"You have done a good job. Without further delay, you will go out of the palace the day after tomorrow and buy charcoal yourself. I will ask His Majesty to send someone to assist you, and Wu Xingbo will also lend a helping hand. If you need anything, boldly ask His Majesty."
There is no need to worry about the food and grass issue for the time being.
Letting the charcoal be temporarily placed in Yan Xiu's hands, and then distributed to severely affected areas and civilians, is a hundred times better than having the charcoal scattered in the hands of those charcoal dealers.
In the past life, countless wealthy businessmen who became rich overnight took advantage of the snowstorm. On weekdays, no one would buy the charcoal even if they begged their grandfather or grandma. During the snowstorm, they could even weigh it and sell it for one tael of silver per catty.
…
When he was ugly, there was still no peace in Weiyang Palace.
Zhang Wanyao was wearing a heavy winter coat and was sitting in front of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, looking down at several palace maids kneeling at the foot of the steps wearing only middle coats.
"The second one from the left, you, I'm talking about you, watch your head! Kneel down before our beauty!"
This boss is the maid in charge of Weiyang Palace, and she is also Zhang Wanyao's personal maid Xuelian before entering the palace.
Seeing that the palace maid just knelt down and fainted from the cold, Xue Lian walked down the steps, stepped forward and kicked her hard in the face: "How brave you are, how dare you pretend to be dead in front of our beauty!"
But it took ten percent of the force to kick it down, but the fainted little palace maid still had no reaction.
The palace maid kneeling beside her was trembling, and she boldly stretched out her hand to explore under her nose: "Xue, Miss Xuelian, she, she is out of breath!"
A good person dies like this.
The little maids kneeling on the floor burst into tears.
They were all miscellaneous maids in the palace. They had no power, no backing, and no chance to serve the masters in the palace. The reason why they were arrested by Zhang Wanyao and sent to Changle Palace was simple.
It was just that this one was accidentally glanced at by His Majesty, and the nose of that one looked similar to Zhu Sijia.
And the one who was frozen to death and lifeless was the one whose Shen Yun looked a little like Zhu Sijia.
Zhang Wanyao stood up from the chair in fright: "You all get out of here and don't reveal even a single word about this matter, otherwise I will let the Queen Mother chop off your heads! Pull her down and find a wellhead." Throw it away! You can also throw it into the lake in front of Yu Changshi Palace!"
As long as this female body is properly disposed of, no one will find any trace of her.
The palace attendants in Weiyang Palace set off quickly after hearing this.
She is just a frivolous palace maid. If she dies, she will die. The master can kill the slaves at will.
In the past, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, wasn't it the case that servants were assigned like this?
Even if Zhang Wanyao does not deal with it, the matter will not cause an uproar in the palace.
With this mentality, Zhang Wanyao forced himself to calm down and soothe himself to sleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the deadpan face just now.
Zhang Wanyao was so frightened that she shivered in the quilt: "Every injustice has its own owner, and it's all my fault... It's all Zhu Sijia's fault! If she hadn't seduced His Majesty so hard, how could I have attacked you!"
Since she entered the palace, Yan Xiu has not even visited Weiyang Palace once.
When she went to Tai Chi Palace to ask for an audience in person, she was stopped outside Tai Chi Palace by Hu Shunhai eight times.
But today she learned that even Zhu Ya, the palace maid next to Zhu Sijia, had been summoned to Tai Chi Palace by Yan Xiu for two full hours.
If nothing happens after such a long time, who would believe it?
Zhang Wanyao was almost furious.
