Yuechan pinched her face in disbelief.
Then she opened the quilts that Qin Ming gave to His Majesty and the Empress, and looked at the two carts of vegetables. Finally, she found that she was not dreaming.
So she hurriedly asked Qin Ming about the source of these dishes and the destination of these convoys.
After receiving the answer, Yuechan sat in the carriage returning to Chang'an City and couldn't calm down for a long time.
It wasn't until the entire convoy left and Qinjiazhuang was far away that she recovered from the shock.
The motorcade soon arrived at Chunmingmen, and Yuechan hurriedly got off the carriage.
Because she wanted to bring her dragon robe into the city this time, before leaving the palace, the Queen gave her a token to facilitate her entry and exit from the Chang'an city gate and the palace.
At the same time, she was also lucky to have brought the token, otherwise Mr. Qin's family might have had some difficulties if these vegetables wanted to enter the city.
She came to the city gate guard and quietly showed the token to the guard general.
The general understood and stopped the soldiers who wanted to come forward to check.
With a wave of her hand, Yuechan led everyone into Chang'an City.
....
At Sishi, in Chang'an City, the Zheng Palace was established
Queen Changsun has been in a good mood these two days, and her complexion is much better than before.
This is mainly due to Qin Ming's down jacket and new heating method.
In previous years, with the arrival of winter, the Li Zheng Palace would become colder and colder, and because of the money in the palace, it would become a little nervous at the end of the year. As the eldest grandson, he was the master of the harem.
In order to promote frugality, usually only two braziers are lit in the temple.
Only when His Majesty comes, Queen Changsun will ask the maid to light four braziers.
As a result, Empress Changsun, who suffered from gas disease, often felt chest tightness, asthma, and loss of appetite throughout the winter.
The craftsmen who returned a few days ago have begun to renovate various halls in the palace.
As the master of the harem, the Risei Hall where she lived and the Manlu Hall where His Majesty worked were one of the first palaces to have their fireplaces renovated.
So these days, the concubines who come to Li Zheng Palace to pay their respects to her.
There is one more reason to be sad, and that is the fireplace in the Rinzheng Hall and the newly built flue.
Now the Li Zheng Hall is not a little bit warmer than their dormitory hall.
The sadness of the concubines directly caused His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to have to work a lot more in the past few days.
The fifth year of Zhenguan was the year of Gengyin, so at this time, Queen Changsun was making tiger-head shoes for her four-year-old son, the future Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
Sizi was squatting next to Empress Changsun, and was beating her legs in a decent manner, just like a well-behaved little maid.
Princess Changle took Princess Yuzhang and Princess Chengyang to copy Qin Ming's thin gold body on the desk in the main hall.
Suddenly a voice came from outside the hall, interrupting the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere in the hall.
"The Queen, my servant Yuechan, I have something to see you."
When the empress heard that it was Yuechan who had returned, she said:
"Well, come in."
Then there was a burst of hurried footsteps.
Queen Changsun looked up and saw Yuechan, leading several palace maids holding trays in their hands, walking in from outside the palace in a hurry.
"See you, Queen, may you be blessed and safe."
Queen Changsun looked at Yuechan in the palace, thinking that the clothes for her father had been prepared, so she said:
"Get up, Yuechan. The down jacket for the Supreme Emperor is ready, right?"
"My servant thanks the Queen."
Yuechan stood up, her eyebrows lowered, and she whispered:
"Yes, it's done. Princess Yuzhang's down jacket is also outside the palace."
"Well, bring it over and let me have a look."
Princess Yuzhang, who had pricked up her ears at this time, put down the brush in her hand after hearing this.
Hearing that her down jacket was finally ready, he walked over quickly and said:
"Where's the one from my palace? Show it to me quickly."
Yuechan turned around, took out two down jackets, one pink one, and handed them to Princess Yuzhang.
Another bright yellow dragon robe was handed to Queen Changsun.
Queen Changsun took the dragon robe, unfolded it, looked at it carefully for a while and said:
"Well, you did a good job. Yuechan, you will go to Da'an Palace with me later."
After saying that, he put away the dragon robe.
At this moment, several princesses who were watching Yu Zhang's new clothes suddenly let out a sigh.
The eldest grandson turned around and looked around, and saw about ten pieces of colorful and cloth-like objects falling out of Princess Yuzhang's down jacket.
Then he saw Princess Changle, who bent down to pick it up. Holding the strip of cloth in her hand, she looked at Yuechan with questioning eyes and said:
"Yuechan, what are these long strips of cloth?"
Yuechan came back to her senses and said:
"To return to the princess, this was given to me by Miss Qingwan from the Qin Ming Mansion."
"It is said that Qin Ming's socks are made of cotton. They are warm and comfortable to wear in winter."
"Let me bring it to the Queen and several princesses."
In fact, Qingwan also gave Yuechan two stockings in the morning.
It's just that I have been busy traveling this morning and haven't had a chance to try it on. I don't know if it is as good as Qingwan said.
After hearing this, the eldest grandson curiously walked to Princess Changle, took a pair of socks from Changle's hand, and rubbed it with his hands a few times.
It feels soft and light in hand.
She looked carefully again and saw that it was indeed the style of a sock. There were also a few plum blossoms embroidered on the sock in her hand.
It’s just that the length of these socks is much longer than what I’m wearing now.
"Are these new socks really made of cotton?"
Yuechan nodded and said, "Yes, empress."
At this time, Princess Yuzhang, who had long been tempted to change into a down jacket, said:
"Mother, although these socks look a little weird, the embroidery work is still very good."
"As for whether the clothes are comfortable, why not let me go to the back hall to try it out first?"
Out of trust in Qin Ming, Changsun said without refuting:
"Well, then Yuzhang, go to the back hall and try it on."
Upon hearing this, Yuzhang happily picked up his socks and down jacket, and pulled Changle, Chengyang, and Sizi, who were also eager to try, to the back hall.
Sizi originally had no feelings for Qin Ming and asked Yuechan to bring him delicious food, and he felt resentful.
But when I saw the novel socks, my eyes couldn't help but light up, and I followed a few sisters to the back hall.
When the eldest grandson saw that his daughters were gone, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
At this time, Yuechan remembered the two carts of vegetables sent by Qin Ming and the letter to His Majesty and the Empress, so she said:
"Queen, Mr. Qin only wears a down jacket and socks this time."
"Master Qin also wrote a letter to the Queen and Your Majesty. What's more shocking to this servant is that the Qin Mansion actually sent two carts of fresh vegetables."
After saying this, he was afraid that the Queen would not believe it, so he turned around and brought out a tray from a palace maid behind him.
On the tray were a fresh cabbage and a courgette.
Queen Changsun was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and looked at the personal maid in front of her with a serious look on her face.
Look again at the fresh cabbage and courgettes on the tray she is holding.
Then he asked in an uncertain tone:
"You mean, Qin Ming grew fresh vegetables in winter?"
