"Yang Qing and Xu Cai deserve to be rewarded for growing fruits and vegetables that are only available in summer in winter."
Xuanzong Longyan was delighted and ordered the little eunuch serving beside him: "Send these fruits and vegetables to the imperial kitchen, cook some fresh dishes and send them to warm your Majesty's wine."
Li Sixu came from Shangyang Palace, and even though she was wearing a fox fur cloak, her little hands were cold.
Xuanzong held her half in his arms and covered her hands when he noticed that she was carrying a basket of fruits and vegetables to Xingqing Hall, and there was a red mark on her little hand.
"How do the servants of the palace do their job, allowing my little Shi to carry such a heavy thing to Xingqing Palace?"
"Oh, Sisi just carried the basket of vegetables into the Nuan Pavilion."
Li Sixu explained with a sweet smile: "All the way from Shangyang Palace to Xingqing Palace, it was Mr. Zuowei who carried the vegetable basket for me."
Li Sixu talked to her father in a soft voice. Eunuch Yang asked the young eunuch who was serving him to make a bowl of hot tea for Li Sixu and also served her some snacks.
Li Sixu twisted a piece of sweet rice cake and leaned on Xuanzong's arms to take small bites.
"When Sisi first entered Nuan Pavilion, she heard Lord Jiang mention Sister Ji'an. It seems that Sister Ji'an fainted in Wangyue Tower?"
Li Sixu, with pastry foam on her lips, asked Jiang Jiao with concern: "Is Sister Ji'an okay? Is she okay?"
Jiang Jiao loses all face!
He presented the wishful vegetables to His Majesty as if he were offering a treasure, but the little princess brought out a basket of fruits and vegetables only available in summer and slapped him hard in the face.
Moreover, the wishful vegetables that he cherished as a treasure were actually grown by the little princess.
The little princess and the Lord of Ji'an County are mortal enemies, yet she pretends to ask her if she is okay in front of His Majesty?
"The Lord of Ji'an County is fine!"
Jiang Jiao finished speaking angrily and felt something was wrong.
Li Sixu smiled innocently and sweetly: "How does Master Jiang know that Sister Ji'an is okay? Master Jiang seems to be very close to Sisi's uncle Wang, and he even knows what's going on in the backyard of the palace."
There was silence in the Nuan Pavilion for a while, and Xuanzong looked at Jiang Jiao with unclear meaning.
Jiang Jiao: "..."
He, an important minister, got close to the prince, which was against His Majesty's taboo!
Looking at the child who was smiling at him with pastry foam on his mouth, Jiang Jiao felt as if he was struck by lightning.
Did he miss the mark and fall into a deep pit?
Jiang Jiao was stared at by Xuanzong so much that everyone trembled: "Well, I happened to meet His Highness Prince Ning when he was dining at Wangyue Tower, and heard His Highness Prince Ning mention the Lord of Ji'an County."
"Then Master Jiang's eldest grandson is discussing marriage with Sister Ji'an?"
Li Sixu asked this with a smile, confusing Jiang Jiao again!
How could his grandson propose marriage to the chief minister of Ji'an County?
The name of the Lord of Ji'an County will be damaged!
And his grandson is studying in Hongwen Hall, and is a classmate of His Royal Highness, a young talent in Chang'an City.
Jiang Jiao was so anxious that he wanted to refute.
Li Sixu continued with an innocent look on her face: "Sister Ji'an fell ill in the palace last time. Her father asked her to go back to Prince Ning's Mansion to recuperate, but she ran to Wangyue Tower regardless of herself. Then Mr. Jiang and Prince Ning happened to go there too. Wangyue Tower.”
"Master Jiang also knows that Sister Ji'an is fine. Sisi thought it was Sister Ji'an and Master Jiang's eldest grandson who were discussing marriage!"
Li Sixu raised her little head and said to Xuanzong: "Sisi heard from Sister Mu that Sister Ji'an is discussing marriage. Sister Ji'an is approaching the age of hairpin, and she is a good match for Mr. Jiang's grandson."
What a perfect match!
The little princess is cheating people to death without repaying their lives.
Jiang Jiao was so angry that his face was livid, especially when he saw Xuanzong's thoughtful look, he panicked!
Your Majesty will not really allow the Lord of Ji'an County to marry his grandson, right?
But his grandson has not yet proposed marriage, so he does not dare to deceive the king!
Seeing Jiang Jiao sitting uneasily and wishing he could leave the palace immediately to settle his grandson's marriage, Yuan Qianyao secretly laughed.
With a few words, the little princess not only reversed the situation, but also severely cheated his in-laws.
What a naughty little guy you can’t mess with!
Yuan Qianyao came to Jiang Jiao's rescue: "I observe that the root of this wishful vegetable looks like mutton-fat white jade, and there is no soil on the root system. I wonder how it was cultivated?"
"Master Yuan has a keen eye. It is true that you don't need to touch the soil to cultivate Ruyi vegetables."
After confirming that soil is not required to cultivate Ruyi vegetables, Yuan Qianyao asked curiously: "Can Ruyi vegetables be cultivated without a greenhouse outside the palace?"
"With appropriate temperature and appropriate methods, it can be cultivated without a greenhouse."
Li Sixu explained: "It is not difficult to cultivate Ruyi Cai. Sisi sold the Ruyi Cai cultivation recipe to Wang Yuanbao. This agreement was effective years ago. It will be New Year's Eve in a few days. If adults are interested in the cultivation of Ruyi Cai, Fazi is curious, Sisi can tell the adults after the year."
Yuan Qianyao thought that he had read it right. In fact, the little princess was generous and her calculations and methods were only used to deal with people who had malicious intentions towards her.
"I am indeed a little curious. If this method can be promoted, ordinary people's homes will have more fresh vegetables in winter."
Yuan Qianyao sipped wine and chatted with Li Sixu who was eating snacks: "I wonder why the princess thought of cultivating this wishful dish?"
Naturally, Li Sixu couldn't tell Yuan Qianyao that because the temperature of the greenhouse was suitable, she sprinkled water into the tank where the black beans were planted, and the unintentional insertion of willows made her think of cultivating Ruyi vegetables.
After all, before Wang Yuanbao makes a fortune, he still has to keep the recipe for cultivating Ruyi Cai a secret.
"Actually, Sisi got inspiration from medical books. The "Shen Nong Baicao Jing" contains the method of making yellow rolls. In late winter and early spring, black soybeans are soaked in Chinese water. When the buds are five inches long, they become yellow rolls."
She explained: "The reason is that Sisi wants to make some yellow rolls to cure the bloated condition of the lady, but when the temperature rises in late winter and early spring, it is a good time to make yellow rolls."
"Sisi just thought that if the winter was as warm as the beginning of spring, we should be able to make yellow rolls, so she thought about it many times with Madam Xu and Yang Qing in the greenhouse and cultivated this wishful dish."
It turns out that Ruyi Cai was figured out from medical books when preparing the medicine. Yuan Qianyao thought that the little princess was really very smart.
"This is really unintentional. The little princess prepared the yellow roll according to the medical book, and actually cultivated a wishful dish that can be served on the table in winter."
In addition to this wishful dish, Yuan Qianyao was also greedy for her basket of fresh fruits and vegetables. He discussed with Li Sixu: "My daughter is pregnant recently and is tired of eating. She wants to eat something fresh and refreshing. I wonder if I can sell some of the fruits and vegetables grown in the little princess’s greenhouse to you?”
"Oh, I'm afraid I can't!"
Unexpectedly, Li Sixu would refuse her, and Yuan Qianyao, who thought he was familiar with her, looked a little stunned.
Li Sixu smiled sweetly and said, "Because the vegetables and fruits grown in the greenhouse have been sold out!"
"Sisi spent some money from her own private treasury to buy it as a New Year's gift."
She smiled and said: "After all, we only grow vegetables and fruits in two greenhouses. If you want to buy them, you won't have them. But when you leave the palace later, I can give you some silk silk."
"Just think of it as Sisi's New Year's gift to the adults!"
