"That's what the empress said." Qinghe nodded when he heard this, and said with emotion, "Princess Jin must be someone not easy to mess with."
Concubine Li laughed: "You don't see how much King Jin dotes on her. How could you let the Queen bully her?"
Qinghe nodded: "Empress, in this case, you should be on good terms with Princess Jin."
"I am considering it." Concubine Li paced in place, lost in thought.
In the imperial study room, Ji Ruobai and the emperor were playing chess. Next to them were various pastries. The crystal clear osmanthus cake was made by Huarong.
"See you, Your Majesty." Ye Fuxun entered the room and smiled at the Emperor's blessed body.
The emperor looked her up and down and saw that she was intact, then he stroked his beard and said, "It's okay if nothing happens, otherwise Yannuo will definitely come to me to ask for someone."
When Ji Yannuo was mentioned, Ye Fuxun softened a lot. She smiled and said, "The queen is planning to let me host a banquet."
"The men and horses in the palace are at your disposal." The emperor said with a smile.
Ji Ruobai was immersed in the chess game. After finishing the game, he took a closer look and realized that the beautiful woman in front of him was not his godmother. He jumped off the stool happily and said, "Godmother, are you here to see me?"
Ye Fuxun nodded and smiled: "Yes, Xiaobai, did you listen to the emperor?"
"Listen!" Ji Ruobai responded crisply, "Your Majesty is so kind. He also told the border soldiers how to survive, how to fight, and how to arrange their troops."
"You can learn a lot from the Emperor. Your Majesty, Godmother, I will also become a general in the future to protect the country and the people!"
Ji Ruobai originally wanted to become a god of war like Ji Yannuo, a great hero loved by the people.
The emperor smiled from ear to ear: "You are really my novice. He has the same demeanor and ambition as I did back then."
Ye Fuxun was left by the emperor to play chess together. The emperor liked eating cakes and drinking tea while playing chess. Ji Ruobai also liked it. The two of them were very similar in eating and drinking, no wonder they got along so happily.
…
Ye Fuxun scheduled the banquet for the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th. She spent several days in the imperial dining room with the Shang Palace Bureau, and drew manuscripts for the carpenters to make glazed lanterns.
Qin Meimei heard that Ye Fuxun had taken over and went to the East Palace with a food box.
"Princess Jin, Madam Shangshu asks to see you." Xi Luo entered the incense refining room. Every time she entered, she wanted to stay. The fragrance in the room was so good.
Ye Fuxun thought for a moment before remembering who Qin Meimei was. She changed her clothes and sat in the main seat: "Let her come in."
"I have met Princess Jin." Qin Meimei was blessed and placed the food box in front of her. "These are all my thoughts. I hope Princess Jin will accept them."
These are pastries from Chen Kee Cake Shop.
Chenji Cake Shop is a specialty of the capital city. The pastries inside are full of color, aroma and taste. I heard that the owner behind it traveled all over the world when he was young, and specially collected pastry recipes from all over the world, and then improved them to keep improving.
Ye Fuxun and Ji Ruobai often ate cakes, and Dong Gong became a frequent guest at Chen Ji Cake Shop.
Even the people below could see it, and Ye Fuxun naturally understood it in her heart, but she had a calm nature and didn't want to get angry and fight with each other.
Well, this is a small matter after all.
Qin Meimei tried every means to please and pursue Ye Fuxun with her words, but her voice was the only one in the entire main hall.
Ye Fuxun felt a little dozed off after hearing this. It was not easy for her to pursue this idea. Strength is the foundation of a person. Just relying on words will not last long.
"See Princess Jin." Simonzi came in from outside, covered in dust.
Silla's eyes lit up, she focused on him, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Ye Fuxun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Where have you been? Xiluo hasn't seen you these past few days, and her heart is agitated."
"Sister." Simonzi looked at Xi Luo, scratching his head a little nervously. The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, and then Simonzi got down to business.
"The King of Jin specifically asked his subordinates to transport oranges back outside the city. These oranges come from southern Jiangxi, which is a place rich in oranges."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nianyun couldn't help but say: "Your Highness is very kind to Princess Jin. There are lychees in summer and oranges in autumn to make you happy."
Ye Fuxun was also happy. There were not many fruits in the capital, and there were only a few that could be eaten here and there.
The fruits offered to the palace are still shipped from various places, and there is a special team of people to take care of this. Although she is the princess of Jin, if she wants to eat fresh fruits in season, she has to wait for the palace to distribute them.
Not to mention her, the queen can't eat as she pleases.
Baskets of oranges were brought into the main hall, yellow and orange with leaves on them, which was pleasing to the eye.
Qin Meimei and her nanny were stunned. They were shocked to see Ji Yannuo's love for Ye Fulun with their own eyes.
Qin Meimei withdrew her envious gaze, lowered her eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought. The noble King of Jin could treat a woman wholeheartedly, so why did her husband only focus on a concubine?
Hua Rong's charming face flashed through her mind, and she clenched her fists. It must be that bitch playing some mean trick!
"Mrs. Shangshu." Seeing her ferocious expression, Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows slightly, "The oranges are fresh, want to try them?"
Qin Meimei came back to her senses instantly and was so flattered by the words that she didn't even need to say anything.
Ye Fuxun likes to eat oranges. Now that she has just arrived, the first thing she wants to do is to eat them happily and will not hide them just because others are around.
After hearing what she said, Ye Fuxun motioned to Nian Yun to put a few in front of Qin Meimei, then picked up an orange and peeled it open.
She likes the process of peeling the orange peel, removing the tendons bit by bit, splitting it into two pieces, and eating each piece.
The pulp is very juicy, with the right amount of sourness and sweetness. Ye Fuxun was so surprised that he rolled his eyes: "It's so sweet, you all can eat it."
Nianyun and the others had been with Ye Fuxun for a long time and had long known her habits. They immediately peeled oranges and ate them, eating several in a row before they were satisfied.
Qin Meimei, who had not moved, looked at her mother. She swallowed her saliva, and finally couldn't resist the temptation and tasted one.
The taste was so haunting that Qin Meimei was still full of aftertaste after leaving the East Palace. She said with emotion: "Mommy, what I saw today really opened my eyes."
"There really are people in this world who love their wives so much." After saying this, she was filled with envy that had no place to rest. It was like a headless fly buzzing around in her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
The always smart old nanny didn't know what to say. This was her first time seeing her. She had heard that King Jin favored Princess Jin in the past, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Who knew whether it was true or not.
The master and the servant were relatively speechless.
…
Ye Fuxun sent a basket of oranges to Yunxiao Palace, one basket to Jingya Mansion, and one basket to Xu Mansion.
The chef of the East Palace, Marquis Xiluo, was beside Ye Fuxun, looking at her actions with confusion: "Princess Jin, what do you want to do?"
"White dew is suitable for eating stewed pears, which moisturizes the lungs." Ye Fuxun said with a smile, cutting the top of the pear neatly, and then scooping out the meat in the middle."
