Shen Xiyao stared at everything in front of her coldly, nodded slightly to Li Kuang, raised her legs and continued walking out.
Li Kuang glanced at Li Zikang, and Li Zikang followed Shen Xiyao knowingly. When he passed Hu Shichang and the other three, he snorted heavily.
Hu Shichang was a little dissatisfied. He raised his head and was about to say something, but was quickly stopped by Wu Lijin and Xu Liangqiu behind him.
When Li Zikang sent Shen Xiyao to the door of Zaihong Hotel, Shen Xiyao thanked Li Zikang again and was polite before walking up the steps.
Just as he was about to cross the threshold, a woman walked in from the door of Hong Hotel and passed by Shen Xiyao. The fragrance of the woman's body hit Shen Xiyao directly.
Then they both stopped, turned around and looked at each other through the door of Hong Hotel.
The inky blue silk is combed into a lily bun, and the plain gauze covers the face, leaving a pair of affectionate eyes. A light blue cross-neck skirt wraps the graceful body, highlighting a hint of coldness. Although the woman's face is not visible Appearance, but from the eyes, figure, and the temperament she exudes, you can also guess that the woman must be extremely beautiful.
Shen Xiyao looked at the other person's high chest again, frowning slightly. She lowered her head and glanced at her own chest, curled her lips, turned around and walked out of Hong Hotel quickly.
The woman's laughter came from behind.
Shen Xiyao secretly spat and muttered something.
"Hu Meizi."
After leaving the Hong Hotel, Shen Xiyao looked up at the sun and saw that it was almost noon. Shen Xiyao did not go anywhere else and strolled towards the direction of Jibei Hou Mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the mansion, a servant came forward to report.
"Miss, Mr. Zhang from the catering department has something to ask for. He has been waiting for a while."
"oh?"
Shen Xiyao was a little surprised. She didn't know why Zhang Chen came here.
When they reached the front hall, Shen An was chatting with the absent-minded Zhang Chen.
Seeing Shen Xiyao coming in, Zhang Chen quickly stood up and saluted.
"I met Dr. Shen. Xu Shaoqing regretted what happened the day before yesterday. He specially ordered me to come and invite Dr. Shen back to teach him how to make those two dishes. Xu Shaoqing promised to add them to the menu of the Wanshou dinner."
Shen Xiyao didn't speak. She lowered her head and thought for a moment before remembering what happened.
Although Shen Xiyao has slowly begun to accept that Mu Jianming exists in her body. And because of Mu Jianming's existence, she or Da Wei did help solve some problems. However, due to the unequal period when the two received information, they still Shen Xiyao felt a little confused.
Although Mu Jianming would tell himself everything that happened, and he was much better at this than himself, Shen Xiyao still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Zhang is very polite. I have already discussed this matter with Princess Zhu'an. And I also came to taste the new dishes yesterday. It's really not bad."
When Zhang Chen heard what Shen Xiyao said, he thought and sighed.
If the cook in Prince Lu's Mansion hadn't been so talkative and said how delicious this dish was and how beautiful its shape was, would it have reached Xu Shaoqing's ears? Would he have come here today?
"That……"
Zhang Chen's lips moved for a long time before he started to say: "Can you trouble me to go to Princess Zhu'an again and make it clear that this matter will be handled by Guanglu Temple?"
Shen Xiyao glanced at Zhang Chen and snorted.
"If Guanglu Temple can obtain this from Princess Zhu'an, Chief Zhang can go to Princess Zhu'an himself."
Zhang Chen quickly saluted again.
"I don't dare. Then... can the doctor teach you two more dishes?"
Shen Xiyao sneered.
"Sorry, I only know those two dishes."
Zhang Chen let out a long sigh.
"Hey! That's too much trouble for the doctor. I'll take my leave."
Shen Xiyao nodded.
"The housekeeper will see off Mr. Zhang for me."
"You don't need your lady's instructions on this matter."
After a while, Shen An turned back, looked at Shen Xiyao for a while, and shook his head.
Shen Xiyao was a little embarrassed by the sight.
"Anything else?"
Shen An said suspiciously: "Miss, when did you learn to cook?"
"Well……"
In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, it was rare that Yang Ke did not sit behind the long book desk, but stood in the hall and walked slowly back and forth.
Yang Lin, Chu Rupeng, Cheng Kangming, Shen Ao, Yang Minzhi, Qiu Huaixin, Jiang Fuqiu. All the important officials stood on both sides.
In addition, there is also a purple-robed official holding a jade gui in his hand.
Zhao Yu, the minister of Taichang Temple.
On the day of the Longevity Festival, Yang Ke will bring a full set of ceremonial guards and go out of the imperial city to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings. Security precautions in Luojing City will be put on the agenda.
Shen Ao specially mobilized thousands of troops to strictly check the caravans and personnel around Luojing and at the city gate. In Luojing Yang City, the number of patrols and inspections on various streets has also increased.
In the past, some ruffians and petty thieves in the capital were beaten first and then put into prison, waiting for the amnesty before being released.
In addition, worshiping heaven and praying for blessings on the Wanshou Festival must also follow a certain process. Taichang Temple, which is at the head of the Jiuqing Temple and is in charge of the rituals of the ancestral temple, is fully responsible.
What Zhao Yu just reported is exactly what the ministers are discussing now.
There was a young eunuch at the door of the imperial study who looked around at the situation inside the imperial study. Without daring to delay, he quietly walked along the corner of the imperial study to the usual place and handed a piece of paper over.
Chang Chu spread his eyes and took a look, frowning a little. He glanced at Shen Ao inadvertently, walked up to Yang Ke and whispered a few words.
Yang Ke nodded slightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and sat back on the dragon chair with a joking look on his face.
"Shen Aiqing, your Xiyao is very brave!"
Shen Ao was confused.
"Why did your Majesty say this?"
Yang Ke seemed to be in a good mood and smiled lightly.
"She knocked down all the envoys from Chu and Shu, and I heard she even got three of them drunk to death. She then dared to go to the Hong Hotel and was not afraid of trouble from the envoys from the two countries."
Several other people also had smiles on their faces after hearing this.
"this……"
Shen Ao couldn't laugh it off, and he didn't expect his granddaughter to do this.
"Here comes the edict and announces that Chen Xiyao will come to see you."
After a pause, Yang Ke said again: "Pass the meal, I will have a meal with a few of my beloved ladies."
When all the monarchs and ministers were picking their teeth comfortably and picking up teacups to sip tea, Shen Xiyao was already waiting at the door of the imperial study with the chamberlain.
After the announcement, Shen Xiyao walked into the imperial study room.
Looking around at the people in the imperial study, Shen Xiyao was stunned for a moment. She had not been to the imperial study many times, and she had never seen so many important officials gathered in the imperial study.
Then he bowed to everyone in a polite manner.
There is no way that regardless of age, official position, or seniority, she is the youngest.
After standing up again, Shen Xiyao asked.
"Your Majesty, why are you summoning me?"
Yang Ke didn't be polite and asked directly.
"Did you go to Hong Hotel?"
Shen Xiyao nodded.
"Aren't you afraid of Chu? People from Shu and Shu will make things difficult for you?"
Shen Xiyao smiled disdainfully, pointed to her feet, and said in a solemn tone.
"This is Da Wei!"
Yang Ke savored these five words carefully. He nodded with satisfaction and gently stroked his beard.
"Well said!"
"Why are you looking for Li Kuang?"
Yang Ke asked again.
"I am reporting back to Your Majesty to find Bai Die."
"What is that?"
"It's a flower."
Yang Ke said "Oh" with a normal expression, but then he felt something was wrong.
"For such a trivial matter, you don't need to come to the door in person in such a big way, right?"
Shen Xiyao did not answer immediately. She thought about what she had said in the morning, quietly took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, closed her eyes slightly, and replaced Mu Jianming.
When Mu Jianming opened his eyes again, he touched the marks that had been punched on the note.
This was agreed between Mu Jianming and Shen Xiyao,
If an emergency occurs and Mu Jianming needs to go online, in order to ensure that no mistakes are exposed, a secret code is made for something that both of them know. Mu Jianming will know what it is just by touching it.
"Your Majesty, although the matter of Bai Die is small, the other matter is of great importance. However..."
Mu Jianming looked around.
Yang Ke had a look of displeasure on his face.
"Here are all the ministers of my great Wei Dynasty. There is nothing that cannot be avoided."
As soon as Yang Ke finished speaking, Zhao Yu stood up.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to think about what I have said. I will take my leave."
As soon as he took the lead, everyone else left one after another.
Shen Ao glared at his granddaughter, left the imperial study, and walked a few steps to catch up with Zhao Yu.
Mu Jianming looked innocent.
It’s really not easy for too many people to know about this now.
After a while, only Yang Ke, Yang Lin and his son, and Shen Xiyao were left in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, this matter..."
at the same time.
In the Hong Hotel, Li Kuang and Li Zikang had dismissed all their men and were discussing something secretly.
Li Kuang and Li Zikang sat across the table from each other. On the table was a map of the Western Regions.
Li Kuang separated the thumb and four fingers of one hand, holding his cheek, covering the lower half of his face, so that his face could not be seen.
Li Zikang's expression on the opposite side was a little complicated.
There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but he tried his best to suppress it.
There is still some excitement, but I also control this excitement.
As a man of letters, his greatest wish is to leave his name in history. Unfortunately, the Li family rebelled more than ten years ago, and there will never be any good reputation left in the history books.
However, Shen Xiyao's words in the morning gave him another glimmer of hope.
Even if you can't participate in it, if you can promote it, you can still be famous throughout the ages.
However, Li Zikang also knew that this matter was not something he could decide.
"Li Shaoqing, based on seniority, you are also my clan uncle."
After a long time, Li Kuang spoke first and broke the silence.
After Li Zikang led Qin Zhong, he was also the young minister of Honglu Temple. He looked up at Li Kuang and nodded.
"Your Highness is from the clan leader's lineage, and Xian Kao is the clan leader's sixth brother. In this way, I am indeed your clan uncle."
"That clan uncle can just call me nephew."
Li Zikang waved his hands repeatedly.
"I can't do it, I can't do it."
Li Kuang waved his hand indifferently.
"There are only you and my uncle and nephew here, so there is no need to be so formal. Besides..."
Li Kuang smiled bitterly.
"Uncle Clan also knows about the situation at home. In name, it is a country, but what our ancestors do at home does not count as a country? I, the so-called His Highness, am just talking outside."
