Ji Yannuo stared at Ye Fuxun silently for a moment, and finally took back what he originally wanted to say.
Since his Ah Xun so vowed to win the first place for him, how could he go against Ah Xun's kindness?
If something goes wrong then, as long as he is here, the Crown Princess will not be able to make trouble.
He pulled Ye Fuxun into his arms with a smile on his face, and put his mouth against her ear: "Ah Xun, why don't we try it first to see if the fragrance of Yuanyang is as I guessed?"
Ye Fuxun was horrified.
She made such a heavy promise for Demon Ji's innocence, but Demon Ji didn't even say a word of gratitude and instead wanted to torment her?
God knows how sore her waist and legs are...
"How about... another day?" Ye Fuxun glanced at Ji Yannuo guiltily.
Ji Yannuo picked her up and strode to the bed: "It's better to choose a different day. I think today will be good."
…
After finishing the belated lunch, Ye Fuxun could finally enjoy his personal time quietly because some courtiers came to see Ji Yannuo.
She watched Xiaoyu sort out the luggage she brought back from this trip, and asked her to pack one of the carved tourmaline hairpins: "Let's go to Zhu Meiren's place."
This carved tourmaline hairpin was selected during a charity sale. At that time, I thought it was particularly suitable for Zhu Meiren to wear.
She led Xiaoyu to Cuiyu Residence.
When Zhu Meiren saw Ye Fuxun coming, she happily pulled her and said, "Sister, I'm here just in time. I just made marzipan steamed cheese."
Ye Fuxun's eyes lit up and he hurriedly followed Zhu Meiren into the house: "What I miss most these days is eating the snacks made by my sister!"
The two of them chatted while eating sweet steamed cheese.
"About half a month ago," Zhu Meiren said about the Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet, "the Crown Princess told the concubines about the Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet and asked everyone to make preparations early. If they win the first place at the family banquet, they will
…”
She didn't finish her words, but after looking at the look in her eyes, Ye Fuxun added knowingly: "You can go to His Highness's bed?"
Zhu Meiren nodded.
Ye Fuxun took a mouthful of sugar-steamed cheese and put it into his mouth. It turned out that the princess had been thinking about this more than half a month ago.
"I heard that the Empress brought up the issue of heirs after summoning the Crown Princess into the palace, so this happened." Zhu Meiren whispered.
Ye Fuxun expressed his understanding: "Did the Crown Princess tell you the judging rules for the competition?"
Zhu Meiren thought about it: "The Crown Princess seemed to have said that the scores would be judged by the sisters."
"Then do you know how prepared everyone is?" Ye Fuxun had some inquiring thoughts.
"They are all serious." Zhu Meiren said honestly, "There are many sisters who plan to dance, and there are also many who play the piano."
"What about you?" Ye Fuxun narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Zhu Mei paused her hands and grinned: "My sister has no talent. She just wants to go back and recite "Ode to Food" written by a poet from the previous dynasty."
Ye Fuxun raised his forehead and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to win. Don't you want to..."
"My sister doesn't want to do that." Zhu Meiren waved her hands repeatedly, "My sister just likes to cook and has no idea about competing for favors."
Ye Fuxun expressed her understanding and changed the topic: "Does my sister have any research on snacks that nourish and nourish the skin?"
When talking about food, Zhu Meiren immediately became interested: "There are many snacks related to nourishing and nourishing the skin, such as longan and lotus seed soup, peach gum, saponin, rice and white fungus soup, papaya and snow clam stew, etc., which vary according to the season.
Desserts to eat…”
"Can my sister list these recipes according to the seasons?" Ye Fuxun asked with a smile, "It would be better if we could find more rare recipes."
"No problem!" Zhu Meiren nodded vigorously, "There are many related recipes in the peerless cookbook that my sister gave to my sister last time. My sister has nothing to do during this time, and she is also thinking about making a few things. I will come back
Would you like to make it for your sister to taste?"
"Okay, okay!"
For Ye Fuxun, this is simply too good to be true.
The two talked some more, and after Ye Fuxun gave the gift to Zhu Meiren, he got up and returned to Mingyue Palace.
I came to Zhu Meiren's place for a chat. She finally found a way to win first place at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.
The next day, Ye Fuxun went to Lanxi Palace early in the morning to pay his respects.
As soon as he entered the main hall and sat down, he saw the Crown Princess slowly entering the hall. After the concubines paid their respects, she began to tease the parents in the backyard.
As we talked, we talked about the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner again.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty," Ye Fuxun looked at the Crown Princess and asked, "At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the concubines and concubines compete in talent competition. How are the merits judged?"
When the Crown Princess heard this, she glanced at the concubines with a smile and said, "My sisters started preparing for this family banquet half a month ago. Whether it is singing and dancing, or playing the piano and reciting poems, the more the better."
"As for judging the merits," she said slowly, "for the sake of fairness, I believe that the sisters will vote, and the concubine with the most votes will be the best."
As soon as she said this, all the concubines nodded and looked at Ye Fuxun with a smile: "I wonder what Concubine Ye feels?"
Ye Fuxun smiled lightly: "Go back to your Majesty, I think it may not be appropriate for me."
The smile on the princess's face froze.
She was just asking Ye Fuxun politely, but he really wanted to hear her opinion.
But she never thought that Ye Fuxun was so ignorant that he dared to question her decision.
"Since Concubine Ye feels something is wrong, maybe Concubine Ye has a better idea?"
"It's not a better idea," Ye Fuxun had already prepared. "I just thought that if the selection is done by the sisters, if you perform your talent in person, the sisters have always respected and loved you, and they will all vote.
To you."
She smiled and glanced at the concubines, "Wouldn't this just detract from the queen's good intentions?"
"I remember that my concubine said yesterday that she specifically gave up the day of August 15th so that all the sisters can have a chance..."
After these words, the lower-ranking concubines couldn't help but start whispering.
What Concubine Ye said makes so much sense!
If the Crown Princess performs her talents, do they dare not to vote?
They have already surrendered to the Crown Princess, so how can they have any hope?
What?
Will the Crown Princess condescend to participate in a talent show?
impossible!
Not to mention these little concubines, His Highness rarely goes to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess certainly didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity.
You can tell just from the fact that Concubine Ye said this for a long time and the Crown Princess didn't say a word.
The Crown Princess also covets His Highness!
The Crown Princess looked at the chattering concubines and felt her heart congested again.
That's right, she just planned to show off her talents at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.
As a princess, although it is inconvenient for her to sing and dance, she can play the piano.
Her piano skills are as good as anyone's.
By then, all the concubines will vote for her, so she can just let nature take its course and be with His Highness...
