When he left the palace, the four adults who accompanied Xuanzong to cook wine and tea in Nuange all received New Year's gifts from the little princess.
A small basket made of wicker, with two deep purple eggplants and melons sandwiched among the green eyes, which is particularly eye-catching on such a snowy day.
Xu Shiyuan Qianyao said that his daughter was pregnant and wanted to eat something fresh and delicious. The vegetables in his basket were fuller than those of the other three adults.
The vegetables from Shangyang Palace are not sold and are only used as New Year gifts?
What a naughty little guy!
Her master, Sun Yizheng, is already naughty enough, but the little princess is better than her master.
How can I feel at ease after receiving a New Year's gift from a little girl?
Yuan Qianyao got on the carriage leaving the palace and was already thinking about what new year gift to give to the little girl in return.
Zhang said it was unbelievable that he also had a share, and he was flattered by the food given by the little princess. The little princess first offered advice, and it was under the eyes of His Majesty, so it would not hurt to have appropriate contact with the tenth princess.
The ones with the most complicated emotions were Zhang Jiazhen and Jiang Jiao, who had offended the little princess to death.
The little princess actually gave them a basket of such precious dishes?
After carrying the vegetable basket and getting on the carriage, the two adults Zhang and Jiang looked ashamed, feeling that they had been embarrassing a little girl for their own selfish desires.
And this little girl is more generous than courtiers like them.
Zhang Jiazhen had suffered severe injuries and knew that she could no longer interfere with the harem fights. It was a fluke that she escaped death this time.
Jiang Jiao also thought that he and Li Sixu had no deep hatred, but that the little princess always interfered with his relationship with the prince. But the problem was that Concubine Shu was grounded, and the little princess was very close to the prince.
It was not what he thought. The tenth princess was close to the third prince and they were part of the same family.
This little princess is very well-rounded and is very friendly with everyone in the palace.
Why is he struggling in the middle?
If he continues to offend the little princess, he might even involve his young and talented eldest grandson...
After picking the first batch of fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse, there was nothing going on in Yang Palace on a snowy day. Xu Cairen, who had some free time, prepared a table of delicious dishes and made a hot pot with the newly picked fruits and vegetables.
The charcoal fire is burning under the stove, the mutton soup in the red clay hot pot is steaming, the meat and fresh fruits and vegetables are simmered, and you can eat while admiring the snowy scenery outside the window, which is quite a unique experience.
The only flaw is that the faint plum fragrance is missing.
Xu Caicai was thinking this, mixed with a burst of cold air, Yang Qing, covered in snow, opened the curtain at the door of the house and entered the house, holding a bouquet of plum blossoms in his hand.
Yang Qing handed the plum blossoms he picked from the imperial garden to Xu Cairen: "My godfather became more interested and left us to say a few more words to keep my mother-in-law waiting."
Xu Cairen took the plum blossoms and put them into the pottery vase on the table, and the room was suddenly filled with fragrance.
"Appreciate the plum blossoms and snow, make wine and make tea, and live together!"
Xu Cairen asked the maid serving beside him to buy a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Yang Qing: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. The cut mutton has just been put in, and you can take a hot bite."
"Smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, make wine and tea, and then make hot pot with the fresh fruits and vegetables grown in Shangyang Palace. Even the gods would not change these little days."
After a bowl of hot mutton soup, Yang Qing smiled and chatted with Xu Cairen: "Our family went to the godfather's place to get the news. What do you think the harem is talking about?"
Xu Cairen was very familiar with Yang Qing and rolled his eyes at his deliberate betrayal.
Yang Qing felt that the woman in front of her, holding chopsticks and cooking meat, didn't look like a queen at all.
He looked at Xu Cairen with disgust: "With the way your empress is acting now, people in the palace are still saying that she has grown fruits and vegetables that are only available in summer. After the emperor's reward, the empress will soon return to his favor."
"Everything is said in this palace. It is said that the empress has pleased the most favored little princess, and that Xuxixijing has won the favor of the emperor."
"They must be sick!"
Xu Cairen said unceremoniously: "They want to envy me for the secluded creek path. If they have the ability, they will come to Leng Palace to farm."
"These women are so pathetic when they fight to get a man!"
Xu Cairen sighed: "I have been looking forward to a man my whole life, and if I have to live my life by looking at his face, I am so scared for them!"
Xu Cairen picked up the cooked mutton for Yang Qing. When Yang Qing heard her words, he almost spit out the warm wine he drank.
She dares to say anything. Is this aunt too drunk?
Yang Qing couldn't help but retort: "It sounds like the empress is not the emperor's woman."
"No, I am not. Ever since I went crazy and was thrown into the cold palace, I am no longer the emperor's woman."
Xu Cairen said proudly: "I belong to the little princess, and I am the little princess's woman!"
"Whoever is stupid will be favored again!"
"Wouldn't it be fun to follow the little princess and farm in the cold palace? How wonderful it is to be self-reliant. From now on, you don't have to worry about falling out of favor all day long, thinking about how to harm others to climb to high places."
"This winter, we have grown fruits and vegetables that are only available in summer. Even Sinong Shaoqing came to Leng Palace to learn from us. In the future, the method of greenhouse cultivation will be extended to the people, and the common people will eat fresh fruits and vegetables in winter. Everyone will remember that the method of greenhouse cultivation was obtained from Shangyang Palace and was taught by you and me."
Xu Cairen filled up the wine and clinked a glass with Yang Qing: "Think about how great an honor this is? Only as a little princess can I have hope for this day."
Xu Cairen's eyes were shining, and his expression and movements were a little wandering.
Yang Qing said anxiously: "Be careful what you say, be careful what you say, drink less!"
"I'm not drunk. I just occupy the title of a concubine. I actually belong to the little princess. The little princess allowed me to find a meaningful way to live in the Daming Palace."
“Farming is great!”
Xu Cairen raised his glass with high spirits: "Come on, touch one. We will be rewarded based on our ability. We will not serve others with sex. We will grow more good things for the little princess in the future!"
Xu Cairen said that he would be rewarded based on his ability, so Xuanzong sent the reward to Shangyang Palace.
Yang Qing also felt that the crazy woman had drunk a few too many glasses of wine and dared to say anything. He was so anxious that he wanted to cover her mouth. When he heard that the emperor sent someone to deliver the order, he quickly asked the palace maid to support her mother-in-law to welcome her out.
"According to the Holy Spirit's decree, Yang Qing, a talented person from Xu, has done a good job in running errands for the Tenth Duke. Yang Qing has been promoted to the chief steward of Shangyang Palace. He will reward you with a mink fur coat, a pair of jade Ruyi, and a set of glazed tea sets."
"Xu Cairen will choose a day to move back to Ruoshuixuan, and he will be given ten pieces of brocade, a fox fur coat, a set of head and face jewelry, and a glass vase."
The young father-in-law who was sent by Eunuch Yang to deliver the decree read out the reward and said to Xu Cai with a smile: "When our family came to Shangyang Palace, the emperor specifically told us that the empress was still in the cold palace, and now she is in charge of the missions for the young man. I’ll do my best and let the empress choose a day to move back to Jiuxuan Palace.”
"By the way, the emperor also said that he wants to see your empress at the New Year's Eve banquet tomorrow."
