When Yan Xingxuan heard that Sister-in-law Wang was also there, he silently sympathized with Brother Wang in his heart, but soon, he was attracted by the various delicacies and small things in the Queen Mother's Palace, and he no longer cared about Brother Kang.
It was already afternoon when Yan Xingxuan entered the palace.
The Queen Mother was getting ready to take a nap when he came.
After saying a few words to him, the Queen Mother went directly to take a lunch break.
The Queen Mother was not there, and neither was Princess Kang. Yan Changxia was more relaxed. She asked Yan Xingxuan in a low voice: "Did you quietly go find your sister?"
Hearing her question, Yan Xingxuan raised his eyebrows: "It's not quiet, it's done openly."
Upon hearing that Yan Xingxuan had indeed gone, Yan Changxia pinched her waist angrily: "Ah, why didn't you take me with you?"
Yan Xingxuan said confidently: "Sister-in-law Wang won't let me."
"Then please give me some advice. Aren't you Uncle Wang?"
"What's wrong with Uncle Wang? I'm also the youngest, Uncle Wang. How can I have the nerve to persuade my sister-in-law?"
"If you say anything, I will definitely eat the food cooked by my sister for two days."
"That's not a big deal, I just thought about it and made a meal."
…
The uncle and nephew quietly quarreled.
Aunt Ning in the Queen Mother's Palace stood not far away. After listening for a while, she couldn't help but lower her head and smiled silently.
Soon, she retreated quietly without disturbing her uncle and nephew.
In the Queen Mother's bedroom, she was not asleep yet. She was just leaning on the bedside, closing her eyes and concentrating.
Hearing the footsteps, he raised his eyes and saw that it was Aunt Ning. He smiled and asked, "Are they arguing again?"
Aunt Ning smiled and nodded: "Your Highness still gives way to the princess."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother shook her head helplessly: "No matter what, Xiaoliu is also Uncle Wang, but he must not give way to the juniors. How can he really care about the juniors."
After finishing speaking, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you mention the little girl over there at the academy?"
Aunt Ning nodded: "I mentioned a few words."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother became convinced. The Queen Mother had already investigated Xiao Nianzhi's information.
She raised Yan Xingxuan as her own son, and naturally she would investigate the people who were close to her younger son as soon as possible, so that she could feel at ease only if the details were clear.
In addition, Xiao Nianzhi is Aunt Yu's apprentice, so she also believes in his vision and is very relieved about the closeness between Yan Xingxuan and Xiao Nianzhi.
Now when she heard her uncle and nephew mentioned Xiao Nianzhi again, the Queen Mother smiled and shook her head: "I am afraid that Xiao Liu will be in trouble this time. In the past, I was not willing to share a mouthful of food with others. Look, If he is like this now, I am afraid he will be like his brother Kang Wang in the future, who has to look at his wife's face before he can eat."
Aunt Ning listened, nodded and smiled: "That's why your highnesses have good tempers."
In response, the Queen Mother shook her head again: "Which of them has a good temper? They just fell into the pit willingly."
After finishing speaking, there was another burst of sadness: "If Xiaoliu and that little girl can really make it, it will be a good thing. Xiaoliu likes food, and the little girl has good cooking skills. The little girl has no close relatives to rely on. , Xiaoliu’s status can protect her from worries for the rest of her life, so that’s fine, I can take care of my worries.”
Yao Zi is accompanied by someone, so even if she is gone at this moment, she can still close her eyes with peace of mind.
As for future disputes and so on...
Then she has closed her eyes, does she care about this?
From now on underground, no matter who cares, she doesn't care anyway.
After fighting for most of her life and worrying about her for most of her life, why wouldn't she be allowed to live in peace even after she died?
Nonsence!
Let the late emperor take charge, can't he be able to control fire and cause trouble?
Thinking of the late emperor, the Queen Mother secretly rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart: bad luck, then closed her eyes and took a nap.
Seeing this, Aunt Ning quietly retreated and stood guard at the door.
After Yan Xingxuan chatted with Yan Changxia, he encouraged Yan Changxia to go out with him.
Without him, there are so many empresses in the harem, and each empress can collect a lot of money by picking up some.
In the past, Yan Xingxuan thought that he could just eat and drink without worrying about food and drink. If he couldn't, he would go to the emperor's brother.
But now, he has a little thought and is preparing to save a small treasury.
Save money and marry the princess!
There is so much wool in the harem, it would be rude not to collect it.
Although Yan Changxia didn't understand much, Uncle Wang took her out to play.
go!
The uncle and nephew were not just running amok. Yan Xingxuan arranged the route, and Yan Changxia was a brainless little pioneer. The two of them rushed forward in a planned way.
The first stop for the two of them was Sun Taibin's palace.
The only ally left alive in the Queen Mother's team is Concubine Sun.
There were some other concubines alive, but they were just living a low-key life in the harem. After Yan Xingxuan thought about it, he felt that they had little to gain, so he let them go.
But Concubine Sun must have it, so go to her first.
While the uncle and nephew were gathering wool in a walking style in the harem, Xiao Nianzhi was pressing tofu.
As evening approaches, the tofu can be pressed out and needs to be shaped, and the preserved eggs also need to be processed.
Seeing her appear in the cafeteria, all the students felt very relieved.
"Is Miss Xiao preparing a midnight snack in advance?"
"That's for sure. It looks like tofu."
“The tofu with sauce before was really good.”
"Are you going to eat this this time too? It doesn't look like it, it looks more tender."
"I don't think so. Didn't we already have tofu at night?"
…
The students couldn't help but be curious when they saw Xiao Nianzhi's actions.
Zhang Huaiyuan now hides his previous thoughts tightly, and even Zhao Yunfeng, who has a good relationship with him, refuses to say a word.
After he finished preparing the meal, he sat down and asked Zhao Yunfeng in a low voice: "I heard that your second brother has returned to Xizhou?"
Xizhou is the ancestral home of the Zhao family, and the ancestral tombs are all there. Now there are many relatives from the side clan there.
Mr. Zhao does not often go back to visit his relatives, but Mr. Zhao is stationed in the southwest and is closer to Xizhou. When there is no war, he will request an order to go back to visit his relatives.
However, the people of the Zhao clan in Xizhou may not be so welcoming to Mr. Zhao, the god of death, right?
As soon as Zhao Yunfeng sat down, he heard Zhang Huaiyuan ask this. He raised his eyebrows and said in an incomprehensible tone: "You are quite well informed."
In response, Zhang Huaiyuan smiled proudly: "Yes, yes, I heard it from Aunt Lou."
Mrs. Lou is the clan sister of Mr. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhao is the sister-in-law of Mr. Lou. The relationship between these families is already cyclical, and their interests are all tied together in the same boat.
If there is any news, we must inform each other.
Zhang Huaiyuan sometimes likes to listen to the excitement, so after listening to it, he naturally wanted to ask Zhao Yunfeng.
Zhao Yunfeng really didn't like the careless second brother, so he just nodded: "His previous behavior was too conspicuous, so it would be good to go back to his hometown in Xizhou."
On the surface, it was said that he was going back to his hometown to visit relatives, but in fact, he was exiled back to his hometown, so that the tribesmen in his hometown could watch this guy and not be stupid or cause trouble for them.
When the two of them were whispering, Xiao Nianzhi was cutting tofu.
Under normal circumstances, preserved egg tofu is actually very easy to make.
Shape and slice the tofu, then pour the tofu on top and make the sauce.
However, Xiao Nianzhi wanted to do something different.
After all, the academy is full of scholars, so let’s also engage in literature and art.
At this time, she was styling this literary tofu.
