Outside the Jade Phoenix Palace, Aunt Zhao next to the Queen looked at the bright and juicy kumquats and started drooling.
Who would dare to poison the fruit sent to the palace? Besides, hadn’t the emperor moved those two boxes? There would definitely be no problem.
After thinking about it, I couldn't resist the slander, so I secretly ate one by myself.
After eating it, I felt pity for the Queen. These kumquats were seedless, crisp and sweet, without a trace of sourness. Not only were they not frozen in the winter, they were still warm, as if they had just been picked from the tree.
After eating a few kumquats, Aunt Zhao looked satisfied. She was afraid that she would never be able to eat such a delicious fruit again in the future.
Just as he was sighing, Xiao Zhuozi, the chamberlain of Changning Hall, came over carrying a basket wrapped tightly in thick cotton wool.
"Mother Zhao, the Emperor said that the two boxes of kumquats are very fresh, so he sent a slave to deliver a basket for the Queen to taste."
Aunt Zhao took it and gave it to Queen Zhou again.
"Even if I can eat it, I won't eat it." Queen Zhou sat in front of the dressing table, stroking her eyebrows, and refused to look back, "Mother Zhao, I'll give it to you."
"Since this~~ was specially sent by the Emperor, I would like to try one." Aunt Zhao advised.
Empress Zhou pursed her lips with disgust, "Then put two here and give the rest to the servants in the palace."
"Yes." Aunt Zhao couldn't persuade her anymore, so she had to carry the basket out of the palace door and gave the basket of kumquats to the maids.
In the palace, after Empress Zhou finished tracing her eyebrows, her eyes finally fell on the two kumquats.
Hiss~~ This did seem to be quite fresh. I hesitated, picked up one and took a small bite, then quickly took another big bite, and finally ate the whole thing.
Although she doesn’t want to admit it, it’s really delicious! This is the first time in her life that she has eaten such delicious oranges. If only she could eat a few more~~
I hurriedly got up and chased to the gate. When I saw Aunt Zhao coming back with an empty basket, I was immediately disappointed. When the curse words came to my mouth, I quickly put them back. I refused to eat them and gave the servants an advantage.
Where are the two big boxes of Xindao? There should be some in Changning Hall, right?
"Let's go to Changning Hall and have a look." Queen Zhou said, putting on her cloak, putting on the stove, and hurried to Changning Hall to ask the emperor for oranges.
Unfortunately, when he rushed to the Changning Hall and asked, the emperor said that each concubine in the harem was given a basket, and all was gone.
The queen was so angry that she felt regretful, but she couldn't bear to be angry, so she returned to the Jade Phoenix Palace holding the hand stove.
There were two whole boxes. If she had been willing to accept it, I don't know how long she could have eaten it. It would have been a pity.
After a moment of silence, she told Aunt Zhao, "Send someone to the pier to buy it. The Night King and the others can buy it, but I don't believe that I can't buy it." Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the East Palace must have given it to you too, Your Majesty.
If you like to eat, go to the East Palace and share some."
"Yes, look at this palace's brains~ Let's go to the East Palace." Queen Zhou led a group of people to the East Palace in a hurry.
The East Palace only had a box of kumquats and a box of candies. It was inconvenient for King Xuan of the Night to enter, so Shen Yue sent them to Zhaoshu Palace.
The servants sent the fruit boxes and candy boxes to the back of the palace, and Shen Yuyu gave Charlotte a gift: "The Crown Princess is from the south, and she will definitely like to eat kumquats, so I specially sent a box of kumquats~~" I know
Southerners don't care about this, so they tell her deliberately.
Xia Luoluo stared at Shen Yuyu coldly and said casually: "Princess Ye is so thoughtful, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea."
"Let's wait for another day. King Ye Xuan is still waiting outside the East Palace." Shen Yuyu smiled calmly, bowed and left.
"Kumquats, pfft~~" After Shen Yuyu left, Xia Luoluo didn't even glance at the gifts, and sneered, "I don't even bother to eat the kumquats that just fell from the tree in Daqi. I would eat this kind that has already been frozen." Ruyan Palace was relatively remote, so I carried it to the bamboo forest there and threw it away.'
Throw it away so that no one can see it, lest word gets out about it.
"Yes." Song Zhu also had a look of disdain on his face. He led people to move the box and candies to the bamboo forest near Ruyan Palace, buried them in snow and left them alone.
After Song Zhu left, Sun Mengmeng and Yue Ji ran out happily, dug out the box and candies from the snow, and happily carried them into Ruyan Hall.
After entering the hall and opening the box, I saw a sentence written by Shen Yuyu inside, saying, 'Happy Chinese New Year, cute sister~~ Waiting for good news after the new year.
Of course, this is not because Shen Yuyu has the ability to foresee, but because Ji Xun sneaked into the East Palace and overheard Xia Luoluo's words, and notified Sun Mengmeng to get the New Year's gift.
Queen Zhou came to the East Palace and asked. When Xia Luoluo said to throw it away, she couldn't help but secretly cursed a fool, "Do you know how delicious this is?"
Thinking about it, I seemed to have made a fool of myself, feeling annoyed and regretful. My mind was filled with that sweet smell, giving rise to a wave of obsession.
As soon as they returned to the Jade Phoenix Palace, they sent people to the pier to stand guard, telling them that if they couldn't buy this kind of kumquats, they would move their heads.
All the gifts from the palace were delivered to the recipients, and the three of them left the palace and headed to Prince Rui's Mansion.
This was Shen Yu's first time back to Prince Rui's palace. The palace was not big and simple, and there were not many servants.
Prince Rui and Princess Rui welcomed them into the Nuan Pavilion with smiles on their faces. Seeing that the New Year gifts they sent were so unique and thoughtful, they were particularly touched. They immediately put kumquats and candies on the table to entertain them.
After sitting down, Shen Yue smiled and explained.
"Jinyan was obsessed with practicing dancing in the Prince's Palace at night, so she didn't ask her to come. After the New Year's Eve dinner in the palace on New Year's Eve, Jinyan was asked to return to the palace with her uncle and aunt."
During the New Year's Eve dinner of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the royal family and relatives all had the reunion dinner in the palace. Ji Xun had told Shen Yuyu about it early in the morning.
"We have Lao Axun and Shen Yatou." Prince Rui nodded.
"Thanks to Shen Yatou for our beauty~~" Princess Rui said with red eyes again. She was in her thirties and had all white hair on her head. Prince Rui also had all white hair. When Huangfuya had an accident, their hair almost turned white overnight. .
Ji Xun looked at them, with a flash of distress in his eyes.
"The scars on Jinyan's forehead have almost completely disappeared. As for the heart disease, Eucalyptus will surely cure it."
"Just pretend that that incident never happened. Your uncle and aunt will completely put it out of your heart and live happily in the future."
Shen Yuyu gave Ji Xun an appreciative look. Her husband was indifferent before, but now he knows how to comfort others, which is great.
Prince Rui nodded and patted the back of Princess Rui's hand, "Madam, please let go of the past and live a good life as a family."
"Yes." Princess Rui pressed her eyes and smiled.
They didn't sit at Prince Rui's residence for long before the three of them took their leave. There were still several gifts to give and there was no time to sit for long.
Come out of Prince Rui's Mansion and head to Zhenbei Houfu nearby.
Duan Ao, Marquis of Zhenbei, has been guarding Northern Xinjiang for many years and has never returned to the capital to celebrate the New Year. All the Duan family's sons and sons serve the country in the military camp, and only a few old, young, women and children are left in the mansion.
It was difficult for the foreigner to enter the house, so Shen Yuyu sent the New Year's gift as Princess Ye, and the young ladies happily accepted the gift.
The ladies did not attend the last palace banquet, but they heard a lot of comments. They also admired the young Princess Ye and treated her very warmly.
"Where's Mrs. Duan? Why didn't you see her?" Shen Yuxi asked with a smile.
In fact, she knew that the old lady was sick, because she never went to the palace to attend the palace banquet when she returned to the Marquis.
"I'm sorry, Princess Ye, the old lady is ill and bedridden." Mrs. Duan said with some humility.
"The old lady is sick? Can you let me check the old lady's pulse?"
"Of course." Mrs. Duan's face was full of surprise, "Then there is Princess Laoye!"
She had been longing for Princess Ye to say this, but she never expected that Princess Ye would really help the old lady see her illness. She was the 'Medical God' personally appointed by the King of the Western Regions. It seemed that the old lady's illness could be cured.
The ladies hurriedly got up and led Shen Yuyu to the courtyard where the old lady lived.
