"But the girl also said that this is the first time she has made it. I am afraid that it is not very well done and can barely be eaten. The Duke and Madam will try it first. If you like it, drink more. If you don't like it, leave it alone.
Already."
"And as time goes by, I'm afraid the smell will dissipate."
Mrs. Rong Guogong nodded: "I collected the things and brought a message for me to say thank you to her."
Mingxin responded: "I will definitely bring you here."
Mrs. Rong Guogong ordered someone to put a basket of cherries back for her: "The ones delivered this morning are all fresh. Take them back for you girls to try."
Ming Xin thanked him and returned to the Changning Marquis Mansion with a basket of fruits.
Xie Yi smiled when she saw the cherries and liked them very much. She asked someone to wash some of them and ate the red, big and sweet cherries, and her mood was healed.
It doesn't matter if the sky collapses or the earth breaks apart, the soldiers will come to block the water and the earth will cover it up. Just take it one step at a time, and she will do her best to do it.
If this couldn't save her, then there was nothing she could do.
There is no use worrying now.
Thinking this way, she no longer had any worries.
In the evening of the same day, Rong Ci came back from outside. As soon as he entered the door, Mrs. Rong Guogong called him over, and then gave him a cup of tea. Tea smoke curled up. The tea was clear and green, and the tea fragrance was fresh and elegant, with a faint hint of jasmine.
Floral.
He took a sip and thought it was pretty good.
Biluochun tastes fresh and mellow, and the floral fragrance is light and seems to be absent. It does not affect the taste of the tea, but adds freshness and elegance. The floral fragrance is like the light mist that permeates the mountain stream in the morning. It is touchable, but then dissipates, attracting people to recall and reverie, and
Want to taste carefully.
Not too strong, not too light, just right.
Mrs. Rong Guogong smiled and asked him: "What do you think?"
Rong Ci nodded: "Not bad."
Mrs. Rong Guogong asked him with a smile: "Is it acceptable again?"
Rong Ci nodded, seeing her smiling like this, he didn't know what she wanted to do.
Duke Rongguo said: "Miss Xie brought this tea over at noon. She said it was made from the jasmine flowers picked yesterday. It was not much, so your sister-in-law and I divided some between us."
"It's a pity you didn't."
Rong Ci: "!!!"
No, aren't you afraid that we will quarrel?
He looked at my mother's proud expression and really didn't know what to say.
Oh, it's a pity he didn't.
He pressed his fingers on the edge of the tea cup, thought about it, and decided to be shameless.
He said: "Since I don't have any, why don't you give me some from my mother?"
When Mrs. Rong Guogong heard what he said, she was naturally displeased: "No, no, you think it's beautiful. If you want to ask for it yourself, leave quickly. Don't be an eyesore to me. I'll be annoyed when I see you."
Young Master Rong Jiu was called over by his old mother to show off for a while, and then he was kicked out unnecessarily because of his disgust.
He shook his head helplessly and smiled, feeling that living such a life was actually pretty good.
Lu Zhui followed him all the way to Chuntingyuan. When no one was around, he excitedly suggested: "Ninth Young Master, if not, let's go and beg for some?"
Rong Ci raised his eyes and glanced at him.
Lu Zhui chuckled twice: "I'm not here to see Mr. Ninth, do you want to drink?"
"I take it you want to drink, right?" Rong Ci continued to walk forward, "Don't run that way."
Lu Chai followed up: "I know, I know, how could I be so ungrateful? If I ran towards Miss Xie, it would be bad if others saw it."
Seeing that he was sensible, Rong Ci stopped caring about him.
Two days later, Mrs. Rong Guogong went to the palace to ask for the order.
The emperor was sitting behind the desk, holding a pen in his hand to review the memorials. He was wearing a blue robe and a jade crown on his head. He was simple and plain, and his whole body was sharp and sharp.
During the Qin Dynasty, extravagance was common in the court, but in the Dongming Dynasty, simplicity and frugality were emphasized. Especially not long after the establishment of the new dynasty, money and money were used for military supplies and settling the people. They were very poor. They advocated frugality. As an emperor, he naturally set an example.
It is only in recent years that things have gradually eased.
Mrs. Rong Guogong was sitting on a chair nearby, drinking tea slowly, and the room was quiet.
After a long time, the emperor asked her: "Are you really sure?"
Duke Rongguo said: "This is still false. I have told your Majesty before, so it is naturally settled."
"Xie's daughter..." The emperor raised his head, "I don't know what kind of girl she is. You value her so much and you want to make a face for her."
Mrs. Rong Guogong was not afraid of him, and gave her a faint glance: "It's okay to give her a face, but isn't it the right thing to do? Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't even want to give her an imperial edict?"
The emperor thought about it, he still had to give it.
Duke Rongguo said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the Xie family. They are smart. Although such ministers are indeed a bit scary, they are not relatives. Now that the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, at most they can only make a few contributions."
He is just a capable minister."
The emperor nodded: "Okay, I understand, let's get people ready. Since you are here, have dinner with me at noon, and ask the prince and Rong Xun to come too."
"Okay." Mrs. Rong Guogong naturally agreed.
The emperor changed a new memorial, and then talked about other things: "How much do you know about the affairs of the Duke of Qin?"
"Qin Duke's Mansion?" Mrs. Rong Guogong raised her eyes slightly, "I don't know, what did they do?"
"Concubine Shu came yesterday to ask for an order to marry the daughter of the Duke of Qin for the third son (Prince Ning)."
Mrs. Rong Guogong frowned immediately: "Asking to marry a girl from the Duke of Qin's palace? Then the Duke of Qin's palace agreed?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Rong Guogong: "..."
Mrs. Rong Guogong was speechless for a moment: "They must be crazy."
In the past, when the new dynasty was established, four princes were ennobled, all of whom had made great contributions to the dynasty and the world. Emperor Shengwu had spoken in advance and did not want the four families to get married to the royal family again.
The implication is that it is hoped that the four princes will not be relatives and not participate in the fight for the legitimate heir.
In the same way, the royal family also thinks of their achievements and protects the wealth of their descendants. If they are capable, they should serve the country. If they are incompetent, they will live in the shadow of their nobility and their ancestors, and they can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing.
But if they get involved in these things, the royal family will no longer protect them. When the time comes, whether they become kings or lose bandits, whether they climb high in one fell swoop or kill everyone in their family, their achievements will no longer be remembered.
Could it be that the Duke of Qin is crazy?
Mrs. Rong Guogong couldn't sit still and walked around the room for a while.
The emperor was quite calm and still sat there reviewing the memorial. Seeing her worry, he said: "You don't have to think about it anymore. People choose their own path. What the future holds depends on their fate."
The corners of Mrs. Rong Guogong's mouth twitched: "Then your Majesty agreed?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Rong Guo Gong's heart suddenly changed.
Since he agreed, he had the intention of watching the Duke of Qin's palace follow Prince Ning, and also wanted to take back the military power of the Duke of Qin's palace in the future?

Mrs. Rong Guogong looked proud: It’s a pity you didn’t!
