When the queen heard Sheng Zhiyao's voice, she turned to Concubine Qi and said softly to her: "Ask Aunt Rong to take you there."

The nanny next to her took the order and walked to the kitchen with Sheng Zhiyao.

Along the way, Sheng Zhiyao was thinking about what Nanny Li told her yesterday about the Queen's preferences. The Queen likes sour and spicy food, but there was no chili pepper in the Shang Zhou Dynasty. When the Emperor was still a prince, he occasionally brought the Queen there when he was still a princess.

It was the first time she tasted it at the Marquis Mansion and she has never forgotten it.

Later, the queen asked the old Marquis for the recipe several times, and she almost kidnapped the chef of the Marquis back to the house. Finally, Butler Li secretly told her that the Marquis had cooked it.

Sheng Zhiyao was already prepared after hearing this story.

Aunt Rong brought Sheng Zhiyao to the kitchen. Someone had already informed the cook in the kitchen to give up her seat. She found two small charcoal stoves, filled the two casseroles with water, and took advantage of Auntie to help her get the ingredients.

She threw in the hot pot ingredients she had already prepared, including a pot of spicy soup and a pot of tomato soup.

But after a while, the spicy aroma and the sour taste of tomatoes wafted from the kitchen. The aroma was so tangy that Sheng Zhiyao remembered that she hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time. She swallowed her saliva and sorted out the ingredients that Grandma Rong had brought.

Then he put it on a plate and asked a cook to kill a duck to get the blood. Grandma Rong frowned when she saw it.

Finally, she went to get some small bowls and prepared various condiments. When everything was ready, she put everything on the tray.

"Mother Rong, please ask the palace servants to carry it in."

"Princess, is this good?" Aunt Rong was a little skeptical. Just two soups and some raw ingredients?

"Of course, you take it out first. I'm preparing some other things and will be here later." Sheng Zhiyao sent Grandma Rong out and ordered a maid to go to the Tai Hospital to get some common medicinal materials.

When Sheng Zhiyao returned to the palace, Concubine Qi had already begun to complain: "This is what the princess did? It was all raw? I thought the princess was very capable."

After hearing Concubine Qi's words, Sheng Zhiyao smiled and said nothing, while the empress who was sitting in her seat could not control the greed in her stomach and walked to the round table: "Zhiyao, how can you do this?"

"Of course Grandpa taught me." Sheng Laohouye glanced at her after hearing her words. Sheng Zhiyao stuck out her tongue playfully. There is no need to use such a good shield like Laohouye in vain. Anyway, all difficult problems are left to Grandpa.

, no one else will ask again.

"Okay, Grandpa and Grandma, please eat quickly. There are some seasonings here that you can mix yourself. The ones I made have been improved after my painstaking research. They are definitely more delicious than those made by grandpa." Sheng Zhiyao looked confident and did not forget.

Pull and step on it.

After hearing her words, Mr. Sheng snorted with disdain.

The four people sat down around the round table regardless of their seniority. Only Concubine Qi stood beside her and covered her mouth with an unhappy look on her face: "Your Majesty, these are barbarian foods. You should go to my Biluo Palace to eat."

His Majesty was too lazy to talk to her and concentrated on tasting the food with the Queen and the Queen. Of course, Concubine Qi didn't know how much memory this hot pot held, so she just slandered her and watched the four of them talking and laughing as if she didn't exist.

Likewise, Concubine Qi was a little angry: "Xiaolan, bring me some bowls and chopsticks, and I'll try the food cooked by Princess Yongchen."

"Don't you want to eat it?" Your Majesty was rinsing the meat while looking at Concubine Qi who was sitting next to her.

"No way, aren't you seeing His Majesty eating? I am accompanying you."

Because of Concubine Qi's arrival, no one spoke during lunch. Only Concubine Qi's voice kept pleasing His Majesty. His Majesty also spoke perfunctorily to her while eating hot pot.

"Grandma Huang, drink some of this. This is the sour plum juice specially prepared for you by Ziyao. After eating the high-heat and greasy meat, drink some more of this to help the spleen and stomach digest." Sheng Zhiyao picked up the sour plum juice and handed it to the queen.

The queen drank it all in one gulp, and the sweet and sour taste filled her entire taste buds. The greasy feeling in her mouth disappeared instantly: "Well, this tastes delicious. It's my favorite taste."

"As long as Grandma Huang likes it, I asked Aunt Rong to write down the recipe and ask the kitchen to cook it for you. But don't be greedy. Drinking it in moderation can also help you lose weight."

"Really? That's great. Aunt Rong will ask Zhiyao for the recipe later and send it to the kitchen." When the Queen heard that this sour plum juice had so many effects, she couldn't wait to give the order.

"Oh, the queen has such a good thing, I should also give this concubine a share." When Concubine Qi heard that she could lose weight, she was immediately interested. Recently, she found that she was a little fatter than last year, and her clothes were a little tight.

"In this case, I will hand over the recipe to the imperial kitchen so that all the concubines can enjoy it. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"It's very good. I just had a taste. It tastes really good. Is this what your grandfather taught you?" Your Majesty looked at Mr. Sheng in confusion.

This stubborn old man has never given him a drink in all these years.

"I have never taught you, but Zhi Yao is so smart. I must have learned it by reading books and studying it myself." Mr. Sheng said nonsense with a serious face, and even Sheng Zhiyao, who was sitting next to him, had to admire him.

"My grandpa once taught my granddaughter about some medicinal materials. After combining my grandpa's Chinese medicine books, I finally made this."

"You are indeed very smart. You are only five years old when you can read your grandfather's crappy books. You are worthy of the name, haha!" His Majesty laughed heartily. Today's family dinner made him happy for a long time, not only the dishes themselves,

Also because of the surprise Sheng Zhiyao brought her.

The Celestial Master once said that Shang Zhou Dynasty would usher in a goddess. Although he had doubts before, because the Celestial Master said that she was the granddaughter of the stubborn Sheng Lixin, he was doubtful. Now it seems that it is indeed true. He can read medical books at the age of five, and he can still

His Majesty was jealous of making such a delicious meal.

Concubine Qi looked at His Majesty Long Yan with great joy, and was amazed when she heard that Sheng Zhiyao could read medical books at the age of five: "Your Majesty, you see that our Princess Yongchen and Yuan Qing are of the same age, so there is an opportunity for the two of them to get along with each other more.

.”

After listening to Concubine Qi's words, it turned out that her purpose was here. Sheng Zhiyao immediately understood Concubine Qi's plan. How could Feng Yuanqing and I be of the same age? He was several years older than Feng Yuanchen.

His Majesty waved his hand: "Zhiyao has just returned to Beijing, so there is no rush. I will ask the queen to hold a polo party in a while and invite the grandchildren of those old men to keep Zhiyao company."

"Yes, I will definitely take care of it." The queen smiled lightly and looked at Sheng Zhiyao meaningfully.

The old Marquis Sheng stood aside and did not express any opinions. Only Sheng Zhiyao was a little helpless. She hated going to such a place. Not only did she have to act for fun, but she also had to force a smile. What's more, those noble ladies were all arrogant and didn't know.

What will happen?

"That's because the Queen has always been good at hosting banquets. She just came back and is not familiar with the capital. So I asked Yuan Qing to take her around. After all, we are relatives, so there is no reason to live together."

"That's right."

Concubine Qi's smile became even brighter when she heard that His Majesty did not refuse. She pulled Sheng Zhiyao to brag. In fact, she looked down on Sheng Zhiyao. Except for the hereditary title of Shenghou Mansion, there was nothing worthy of them.

Of the children of the family, Emperor Jinkou Yuyan said that he would make her his queen, otherwise her precious grandson Feng Yuanqing deserves a better woman.

As for her mother Qi Xinyue, she was originally from a branch of the Qi family but was far inferior to them. When she married Sheng Zhengye, she was regarded as a high-ranking wife, but now that she is interested in her daughter, it is considered a high-ranking member of the family.

Sheng Zhiyao fell asleep listening to Concubine Qi's words. She was not interested in Feng Yuanqing at all. She was woken up by her mother in the morning and she didn't sleep well. Now she heard her coming and going as Yuanqing from their family.

Sheng Zhiyao's eyelids became heavier and heavier and she fell into Grandma Huang's arms.

"Shh, stop talking, Zhiyao is asleep." The queen told Concubine Qi in a low voice.

Concubine Qi was obviously displeased: "What a shame, she fell asleep while the elders were still talking."

"She is only five years old." the queen defended.

"Our family Yuan Qing is already in the Imperial Academy when he is five years old." Concubine Qi curled her lips and really looked down on Princess Yongchen. However, His Majesty liked her and appointed her as the future queen by default. She still endured it for the sake of Yuan Qing's throne.

He said: "Then I will retire."
