Chapter 11: We must choose someone from Shangzhou

"No, isn't this official in the court referring to grandpa? If they find any clues, wouldn't we be exposed?" Sheng Zhiyao said worriedly.

"What should I do now?"

"Hongxue, you have been going to check out the movements of the Second Prince's Mansion every night. You will send me a message as soon as there is any news." Sheng Zhiyao sighed and said. This matter was related to the safety of Mr. Sheng, and she had to plan in advance.

"Yeah, I get it."

"Hongxue, you must be careful to hide it. Once someone discovers it, no matter who it is, you will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" Hongxue agreed respectfully.

Sheng Zhiyao took a deep breath: "It's getting late, let's go to bed first."

"Yeah." Hongxue agreed.

The next morning, Sheng Zhiyao got up, stretched her waist, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

I didn't sleep very well last night. She had a dream, and the scenes in the dream were still vivid in my mind. She dreamed that Mr. Sheng was imprisoned in prison. She wanted to save her, but she could do nothing.

And she also dreamed of Feng Yuanqing, and he actually attacked her. Fortunately, she escaped by herself. If she was caught by him, she really couldn't imagine what she would become.

"Zhiyao, have you gotten up?" The voice of Mr. Sheng came from outside the door.

"Grandpa, I've gotten up, come in." Sheng Zhiyao replied quickly.

The door was pushed open, and Old Marquis Sheng walked in. He looked at Sheng Zhiyao and was worried: "Your face is a little bad, are you too tired?"

"It's okay, grandpa, is it okay to come here so early?" Sheng Zhiyao asked with a strong smile. She knew that if Mr. Sheng was worried, he would definitely think more.

"Well, you'd better go to the palace with me!"

"Why?" Sheng Zhiyao asked in confusion.

"The emperor sent someone to say that the Empress wants to see you."

"Oh, so that's it. Well, I'll pack up now."

"Your face looks bad, are you okay?" asked Mr. Sheng again.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, I just slept a little late last night, nothing."

"Okay, then hurry up."

Soon, Sheng Zhiyao packed up and stopped. She got on the carriage, and then the carriage set off and drove towards the palace.

Sheng Zhiyao entered the palace and went directly to Zihuang Palace, while Old Marquis Sheng went to the Imperial Study Room.

In the Zihuang Palace, the queen was reviewing the menu of the banquet. When Mama Rong saw Sheng Zhiyao at the door, she stopped her.

She came to the queen gently and covered her eyes with her hands: "Guess who I am?"

"You girl, I'm not deaf, how could I not hear your voice?" The queen rolled her eyes helplessly.

"Grandma Huang, you're so boring."

Sheng Zhiyao let go of her hand and smiled, and sat down by herself: "I brought you some delicious fruit this time, and I promise you will like it."

"Oh? What fruit?"

"Look." Sheng Zhiyao ordered people to present the fruit basket she brought.

When the queen saw the plates of tempting fruits, she immediately became interested.

"What kind of fruit are these? Why have I never seen them?"

"When I say goodbye to Grandma Emperor, these are all planted by me. They are natural, pollution-free and purely organic, and they taste sweet and delicious. Try it." Sheng Zhiyao picked up a peach and handed it to the queen as if offering treasure.

The queen picked up the fruit and took a bite: "Well, the taste is really good, it's much more delicious than the fruits that were tributed in the palace."

"Hehe, if Grandma Huang likes to eat, I will send you some every day. You see, the yellow one is called mango, the red one is called dragon fruit, the green one is also about this..." Sheng Zhiyao kept introducing it. She found that since she came here, she seemed to have changed a lot, and she became more and more talkative and laughing, of course, because so many people love her.

"Well, okay, all these emperor grandmas like it. If you have time, you can bring it to me."

"Okay! Grandma Huang likes me, so I will bring you some meat and vegetables next time to make Grandma Huang gain weight." Sheng Zhiyao blinked mischievously.

"Haha..." The queen was amused by Sheng Zhiyao: "You girl."

The queen ate a mango and then remembered something. She looked up at Sheng Zhiyao and said, "By the way, Zhiyao, you have the most ideas. Come and help me see the menu for this banquet."

"Oh, OK."

Sheng Zhiyao picked up the menu on the table and looked at it. She found that the people who were invited were heavyweight ministers and royal nobles. She did not remember their names clearly, but everyone in Shenghou Mansion had their names.

She looked up and said to the queen, "What kind of banquet is this, Grandma Huang?"

"This banquet is for the envoys, and in addition to Western Chu, there is also the little prince from Qi Qin."

"Qi Qin has come too? Does he want to marry?" Sheng Zhiyao looked at the queen in surprise.

"Well, I just learned about this." The queen frowned.

Sheng Zhiyao frowned and pondered for a moment. She suddenly remembered something. She asked quickly: "Grandma Huang, why don't you just let Princess Xichu and Prince Qin of Qi marry? Why do you have to choose someone from our Shangzhou?"

"You kid, this kind of thing is not that simple. This is not something we should worry about. Let your grandpa and your grandpa be troubled!" The queen said lightly. Although she knew that the emperor was manipulating these things behind the scenes, she did not want to interfere.

After all, this is a fight between men and not something that my daughter can participate in.

"What the emperor said is that it is far away."

"Okay, Grandma Huang didn't blame you. Please help Grandma Huang see these dishes. It not only reflects Shang Zhou's characteristics, but also expresses respect and gratitude to all countries, but also takes into account the taste of the envoys. In short, these require time and energy."

"Yes." Sheng Zhiyao nodded, and then seriously helped the queen look at the menu.

The queen looked at Sheng Zhiyao's serious appearance and loved her more and more.

Sheng Zhiyao was looking at the menu seriously and remembering every dish bit by bit.

Soon, I read all the dishes on the menu and thoughts.

Sheng Zhiyao looked up at the queen: "Grandma Huang, what dishes do you and Grandpa Huang like to eat?"

"Me? I like sour and spicy. Your emperor's grandfather likes to eat sweets."

Sheng Zhiyao thought carefully and then said, "Grandma Huang, what if I asked me to organize this banquet? I will make these dishes with the imperial kitchen, and I will definitely not lose the face of Shang Zhou Dynasty."

"But you will be very tired after so many things and dishes."

"Grandma Huang doesn't have to worry. I'm only responsible for the command. Lord Li and I are old acquaintances. As for the arrangement of the banquet, it's actually very simple. Just ask Mama Rong to help me."

"Is that so? Did you know each other before?" The queen looked at Sheng Zhiyao with deep meaning.

"Of course, my relationship with Lord Li is very good." Sheng Zhiyao nodded.

"Haha, okay, Mama Rong passed my imperial edict. The princess is responsible for this banquet. Li Yuan, the imperial kitchen, assisted in the meal for the envoys."

"yes."

"Also, I will provide the wine for Grandma Huang for this banquet. Is it OK?" Sheng Zhiyao said to the queen.
