With small red clay stoves and pottery pots, the palace maids set up a shed in the open space outside the Nuan Pavilion. Inside the shed were four huge double-eared copper stoves. There were piles of firewood inside, which burned vigorously and dispersed the surrounding atmosphere.
of cold air.
Fu Mingyu accompanied the queen mother to eat in a hot pot in the shed. The soup was simmered with beef bones.
Just roll it twice and it will be cooked, then dip it in the pre-mixed sauce, eat it in one bite, and your mouth will be full of aroma and satisfaction.
"Our pot and the banquet are much smoother than the previous banquet." The Queen Mother smiled, "Every time we eat at the banquet, the Ai family is not full!" The Queen Mother suddenly came closer to Fu Mingyu and whispered.
Fu Mingyu couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Me too..."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
It was a joy to eat at the pot here, but everyone at the wedding banquet in front had their own thoughts.
The Crown Princess has been married back to the East Palace by the Crown Prince, so where is the Crown Prince's concubine? Where is Liang Di? Everyone ate the food in the bowl and looked at the food in the pot. Some people also had an idea on His Highness Prince Chen's head.
Your Majesty doesn't have many children. His Majesty was a doting favor on the Queen back then, so few empresses in the harem have children in recent years. Even if they do have children, many of them will not grow up due to various reasons.
Apart from the prince, the most eye-catching person is His Highness King Chen.
In the eyes of outsiders, His Royal Highness King Chen seems to be a wise king. Everything he does and says is appropriate, and he is also tall and handsome. He is King Chen now, and there is no telling when he will become a prince in the future!
These are all things with shadows... they are not groundless.
Although His Majesty intended for the prince to assist in state affairs after getting married, the Queen immediately promoted His Majesty King Chen after just one word from the Queen. This shows that the Queen holds a heavy weight in His Majesty's heart, and it also shows that Your Majesty has no regard for the Prince's governance of Da Xie.
With such enthusiasm and perseverance, to put it bluntly, it’s okay to have this prince or not!
Even before the banquet was over, what His Majesty said in the hall had already spread among the courtiers.
As soon as the banquet was over, the grand fireworks show began. The monarchs and ministers stood in the large square of the main hall of Taihe, watching the fireworks rising from the east corner gate of the palace. Naturally, many courtiers wrote various poems and songs to praise this peace.
In the prosperous age, Your Majesty listened with joy in his heart and eyes.
"Fireworks are set off!" Fu Mingyu pointed to the fireworks rising in the distance and said excitedly to the Queen Mother.
"Let's take a look!" The Queen Mother took Fu Mingyu to the second floor of the Nuan Pavilion. The two stood on the railing and watched the fireworks rising in the night sky in the distance, leaning on each other.
"The Queen Mother never wanted to hold me in her arms to watch the fireworks when I was a child!" Fu Mingyu murmured, leaning on the Queen Mother's shoulder.
"You are too clingy. I'm afraid you will develop a cowardly character, so I can't hold you!" the Queen Mother said with a smile.
"After the prince's wedding, the Chinese New Year will begin. When the new year begins, I will first send the queen mother to the hot spring palace." Fu Mingyu said slowly.
"The Ai family never thought that they would leave the palace while they were alive." The Queen Mother said with insight, "Now her mood is different. Especially after you get married, your mother-in-law values you and the sisters-in-law at home.
My sisters-in-law are also very kind to you, so I don’t think about you that much."
Fu Mingyu's heart was slightly shocked. Could it be that the Queen Mother in her previous life had always lived in the palace because the person she married was not her husband? So the Queen Mother refused to leave the capital? At that time, she deliberately alienated the Queen Mother because of her husband's family. If the Queen Mother
If it is really because of you that you are in the capital and refuse to leave, then what you have done will make the Queen Mother so sad and disappointed!
"Empress!" Fu Mingyu's eyes turned red without realizing it.
"What's wrong with you?" The Queen Mother heard that Fu Mingyu's voice was wrong and turned to look at her. Sure enough, the child's eyes were watery and red, and he looked pitiful.
"I just feel that the Queen Mother is too good to me!" Fu Mingyu sniffed her nose and said angrily.
"I should treat you well." The Queen Mother raised her hand and pinched Fu Mingyu's nose, dumbfounded. You child deserves to be loved!
The fireworks in the distance kept rising, blooming, and falling, causing the Queen Mother's eyes to disappear with them. Fu Mingyu really wanted to lean on the Queen Mother like this all the time, watching the gorgeous fireworks. Such days were quiet and beautiful...
But all good things must come to an end. When it got late at night, Fu Mingyu put the Queen Mother to sleep and got into the carriage to go home.
The lights in her Shiliuzhai were still on, and when she went in, she saw that her sister-in-law was still asleep.
"But you're back!" Wu Yuner's expression relaxed when she saw Fu Mingyu, "The concierge said you would be back today and asked to leave the door open. I have been waiting for you, but I didn't expect you to come back so late."
"I have been serving the Queen Mother until she fell asleep, and I just left now." Fu Mingyu hurriedly stepped forward and held her sister-in-law's hand. Her sister-in-law was still helping her wait for the door so late, which really warmed Fu Mingyu's heart and moved her.
"We have heard about what happened in the palace! Mr. Hong came back and told his mother." Wu Yuner quickly looked Fu Mingyu up and down, "Fortunately, you are fine. From now on, you will be less involved in the affairs of the palace.
It's wonderful. There are too many twists and turns!" She said worriedly.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law." Only then did Fu Mingyu know what Wu Yun'er was worried about, "I am here to accompany Her Highness the Crown Princess. How many princesses can we have in our Da Xie Dynasty? There won't be such an errand in the future, even if there are.
It won’t fall on my head again.”
"Bah, don't let outsiders hear what you said." Wu Yun'er quickly waved her hand, "Just come back. I've stewed the bird's nest for you. In these days when you're not around, I've started to learn to cook! Come on!
Try it quickly and give me your opinion."
Wu Yun'er's taste was indeed the taste of Jiangnan people. It was a little sweet, but very delicious. The bird's nest was stewed at the right temperature. Fu Mingyu praised her fiercely, and Wu Yun'er actually smiled like a child.
Fu Mingyu looked at his sister-in-law's natural and unpretentious smile, and couldn't help but have the idea that it would be great to go home!
The next day, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not wake up Fu Mingyu. When Fu Mingyu woke up and rushed to the small school ground in the back garden, everyone was obviously finished...
"I overslept!" Fu Mingyu hurried forward to greet Mrs. Dingguo who was putting away her weapons, "Good morning, mother, my daughter-in-law is lazy!"
"You child, you are so tired in the palace, you can sleep as much as you can!" Mrs. Dingguo Gong turned her eyes to Fu Mingyu and said with a smile, this daughter-in-law really got her heart, no matter how she looked at her, she liked her.
