There are some in the market, even if the taste is slightly better, it is not irreplaceable. Xie Yixiao doesn't feel bad. She has given this recipe to the Changning Marquis Mansion and the Xie family.
Princess Zhaorou was pleasantly surprised: "Are you telling the truth? If you make a promise, you can't go back on it."
"Now that I have spoken, I will naturally not go back on my words, but I have also said it before. You cannot give this recipe to others, you can only use it for yourself. If you want to open a teahouse to sell these, you can do it, but you can't do it in the Imperial Palace.
city."
If she returns to Xiliang, she can open a small shop selling tea and peach blossom wine.
In fact, what Princess Zhaorou wants most is the prescriptions for those powdery balms, but they won't let go. Even if she is willing to pay a lot of money to buy them, the other party is not willing. This tea drink is of little use to her, but in her own eyes
You can also do some when you are in trouble, it is better than nothing.
"Then I really want to thank Mrs. Rong Jiu. If you can give me a balm recipe, I will be even more happy. If you have any ideas at any time, just tell me and make any requests."
Xie Yixiao was not ambiguous about this at all: "Which powder and balm do you want? It doesn't matter if I have someone give it to you cheaply or give you a set. I really don't even think about the prescription.
It’s useless.”
Princess Zhaorou had no choice but to give up with regret.
Xie Yixiao kindly reminded her again: "I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to marry King Huainan, and you might have to go back to Xiliang. It's better not to offend your two royal brothers too much."
"I know, I know."
The carriage drove all the way to the palace. Several people led the envoys from various countries into the Taiji Hall to pay homage to His Majesty and congratulate His Majesty on his long life. Then each country presented birthday gifts one by one.
Everyone noticed that the envoy of Xiyue Kingdom, Princess Zhelan, had not arrived today, and they had some doubts in their hearts. However, seeing that His Majesty did not ask, no one raised it.
After the pilgrimage to celebrate birthdays was completed, and it was almost noon, the group of people turned to Qinghua Palace, the main hall where the birthday banquet was held. At this time, most of the official family members were also present in Qinghua Palace.
His Majesty came with hundreds of officials, and everyone knelt down to pay homage, shouting long live, and then sat down one after another.
His Majesty said a few words, probably wishing the country peace and prosperity, and then invited everyone to have a drink. After the drink was finished, and after sitting down, the drums sounded, the sound of silk and bamboo matched, and the song and dance performance had been arranged early in the palace.
Start taking turns.
His Majesty sat upright, with two tables on each side. The Concubine Xian and the Concubine Shu occupied one side respectively. There was a path left in the middle of the steps leading down, and there were two rows of seats on each side.
First on the lower right are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, followed by Li Youguang, Li Xuguang and Princess Yonghe. Opposite are Prince An and his wife, and those behind them are also Prince An's children.
Downstairs were King Ning and King Huainan. Xie Yixiao took a look. King Huainan only came with Concubine Shen today and did not bring Gu You with him. Seeing that the master who caused trouble everywhere was not around, Xie Yixiao was very surprised.
The ground breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao sat in the third seat from the lower left, opposite King Huaijiang. After that, they went to the bottom of the main hall and arranged their seats according to their titles and official positions.
Everyone in the palace was talking and watching the performance, and the food prepared in the imperial dining room was brought up one by one. Each of these food can be said to be very exciting.
Among them, Qiankun Soup is just an ordinary dish, such as Longevity without Borders, Auspicious Deer in Bamboo Forest, Rejuvenation of Ancient Trees, Splendid Mountains and Rivers, Hibiscus Crab Soup, etc. There are a total of eighteen dishes, all of which have nice names and are delicious.
Xie Yixiao was eating while listening to the people in the hall talking and toasting, but he had no intention of watching the performance. No more accidents happened, everything went smoothly.
Halfway through, the Crown Princess called Xie Yixiao to go out. The two of them went to relieve themselves. After coming out, they washed their hands and smoked incense in a palace. The Crown Princess asked her about Princess Zhelan.
Xie Yixiao hesitated for a moment and looked around.
The Crown Princess said: "Don't worry, except for the two people you brought, everyone here belongs to me."
There is no queen in the palace, and several concubines are suppressed. Although the crown princess cannot be said to have complete control over the palace, she is still safe where she is.
Xie Yixiao thought for a while, then told the story about Princess Zhelan, and then also told the news he got from Princess Zhaorou. After hearing this, the Crown Princess's face became very strange.
She originally thought that Princess Zhelan was mixed up with Prince Ning, and the child must not be kept. Although Prince Ning seemed to be incapable of doing anything now, the Crown Princess did not want Queen Ning from Xiyue Kingdom to be a helper.
I just didn't expect that Princess Zhelan was so bold, and she dared to have a relationship with Prince Ning and Prince An.
After hearing Xie Yixiao's guess, the Crown Princess looked unhappy: "If Princess Zhelan really wants to return to Xiyue Kingdom to be her queen, then this child may be able to stay."
"The main reason is that the child is unclear. Maybe he belongs to Prince Ning or Prince An. In this situation, it is better to have an unclear child than to belong to someone else."
If this child belongs to Prince Ning, even if Princess Zhelan wants to return to Xiyue, she will take this child back. Your Majesty, the prince and his wife will not tolerate the existence of this child. They are really afraid that one day Prince Ning will go to Xiyue.
With the help of others, he was bold enough to rebel.
It is not clear whether it is the child of the Dongming royal family, but it cannot be confirmed whether it is the child of King An or King Ning. This also eliminates the possibility that Xiyue will help King Ning or King An in turn.
The Crown Princess thought for a long time, and then said: "But I think it's better not to keep this child. Princess Zhelan has quite a lot of calculations, but it's just too chaotic. Maybe this child will be the cause of trouble."
"Besides, we Dongming don't have any ideas about Xiyue Kingdom, so don't get involved in other people's affairs. Princess Zhelan wants to be the queen, let her figure it out on her own."
The two sat for a while and then returned to Qinghua Palace.
As soon as Xie Yixiao sat down, Rong Ci shook her hand. Under the wide sleeves, their hands were intertwined. Xie Yixiao pulled at her hand, but did not pull it out.
She glared at him before he let go, and then gave her half a cup of tea: "Why did you stay here for so long?"
It was so long that he was worried that something had happened and wanted to go find her.
"I drank a cup of tea with the Crown Princess and talked for a few words. Is there nothing going on here?"
"all the best."
Today is His Majesty's sixtieth birthday, and both the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess attach great importance to it. Except for the incident where Concubine Shu touched the snow ginseng, the Crown Princess was more cautious and there was no accident.
"Rong Ninth Young Master, Ninth Young Madam."
Someone shouted, and the two of them looked up and saw a young man leading an older young man walking over.
"Si Shizi." He is the Shizi of the Marquis of Jingyang.
Jingyang Hou Shizi smiled and then introduced the people around him: "This is my brother Si Yunlang."
