It's been seven years.

It has been seven years since she abruptly invited Shopkeeper Li to do the business of seasoning powder.

The Xia family received a message from the servants in the middle palace, although it was only announced that Zhao Changqing had entered the palace, such as Mrs. Xia and others were very excited.

Zhao Changqing was just as excited, and after being excited, he had an indescribable feeling. It's like, there is something you have waited for too long and too long, and when you can reach it in time, the taste in your heart will fade.

Mrs. Xia was overjoyed and didn't know the south, south, west, and northwest, and chattered, "Alas, this has to be tightened to make two fresh dresses." Let's invite the best tailor in the imperial capital to use the best materials...... Go to the palace to say hello to the queen, this is not a trivial matter, don't be afraid to spend money, clothes money, I'll out! ”

Mrs. Xia's mind was clearer, and she said, "I heard the little father-in-law who just came said that Ming'er will enter the palace early in the morning, and this new clothes are not in a hurry." ”

Aunt Xia slapped her thigh, "Otherwise, send someone to the clan brother's house to ask, the clan sister-in-law is a four-grade fate, and I think she has entered the palace." ”

Zhao Changqing sank his mind for a while, and said softly, "Don't worry, old lady, I have the clothes of the order, go to the palace to say goodbye, and it is not wrong to wear a dress." ”

This is true, Zhao Changqing has a fate, although it is only a six-grade small fate, in the Xia family, he is also the first person. Aunt Xia couldn't care about envy, jealousy, and hatred, and hurriedly asked, "Niece and daughter-in-law, the queen asked you to go to the palace, do you know what's going on?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "How can we know what the queen mother means." I don't know how many people are in the imperial capital, even if I have a decree, that is, a sesame-sized Anren, I don't even have the qualifications to go to the palace on the fifteenth day of the new year to ask the queen mother, and I didn't expect to suddenly enter the palace. It's just that I thought about it, seeing that the description of the messenger was acceptable, and the things given were also received, it was not a bad thing. ”

Mrs. Xia doesn't understand, anyway, no one here understands better than Zhao Changqing, she said, "Why don't you let someone go to your uncle's house and ask, what should you pay attention to when entering the palace, we also have a score in our hearts." ”

Zhao Changqing has never liked Xia Gongren's meanness, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, old lady, in the border city before, I and Xianggong also received the holy decree." Besides, at the 15th National Congress of the First Lunar New Year, I still met the emperor in person, and I didn't see what happened to the minister. ”

Mrs. Xia thought about it, yes, her grandson is also an official, and she has still seen the emperor Laozi's official. Doing a good job in mental construction, Mrs. Xia stabilized her heart and said, "This is also reasonable." Alas, you can go back and rest, don't do anything today, take a rest, and you have to go to the palace tomorrow morning to ask the queen mother. In the end, Mrs. Xia spoke in a high tone, as if she was the one who was going to enter the palace, and she was quite proud.

The queen mother said that Zhao Changqing had become a rare and protected breed of the Xia family. At noon, Mrs. Xia sent someone to send two dishes to Zhao Changqing, this is the first time that Zhao Changqing has married into the Xia family, Zhao Changqing is quite a little crying and laughing, and it is rare for a person who is snobbish to the point of Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia chatted with her husband with a happy brow, "I have long said that my daughter-in-law is prosperous, and sure enough, think about it, what a great grace this must be." How many people will never see the queen in their lifetime. ”

Old Man Xia smiled, "Yes." "Master Xia is just as happy, but he can't understand the reason why Queen Xuan Zhao Changqing entered the palace. Thinking about it, I don't know what happened in the eyes of the queen's mother, and I got this great grace, which is really the accumulation of virtue by my ancestors.

After lunch, Zhao Changqing went to Mr. Su in the afternoon and asked Mr. Su about the rules for entering the palace.

Mr. Su said, "Generally, you have to go to the palace gate to wait on the fifth watch, and after a while, the inner palace will pick up your little eunuch to come out." At this time, give him a purse, and he will be extra attentive. These rules are not unusual, you can pass the test in words and deeds, just go generously. "Zhao Changqing was taught by her, and Mr. Su still has this certainty. Mr. Su told Zhao Changqing about some of the palace things that the new emperor knew, "Fengyi Palace is where the middle palace is located, and the first queen of His Majesty is the biological mother of the first prince, who passed away before His Majesty ascended the throne. Empress Song was canonized by Her Majesty six years ago, and the three media were hired from the Suzaku Gate to enter the palace. Empress Song married Her Majesty Xià is the second marriage, she first married the second son of the Queen Mother's maternal family Cheng'en Gong, and was counted as the cousin and nephew of Her Majesty. Among the princes, the youngest prince has been crowned the crown prince. The Marquis of Song has two daughters, the eldest daughter is the Queen of Song, the second daughter entered the palace earlier than the Queen of Song, when she entered the palace, she was named Concubine De, Concubine De also had a son and a daughter, and passed away when she gave birth to ten princesses. I heard that after Concubine De passed away, there were rumors criticizing Queen Song, whether it was true or not, Queen Song and Concubine De's sisters did not agree, this is possible. You have to pay attention, the tenth princess is the same age as the ninth princess, the tenth princess was born to Concubine De, the ninth princess was born to Queen Song, and the dragon and phoenix fetal sister of His Royal Highness the Prince. The rest is nothing, Queen Song's position is stable, you are a hardcore queen party, go to Fengyi Palace, don't worry at all. ”

Zhao Changqing was a little melancholy, "both happy and worried." ”

Mr. Su raised his eyebrows, and Zhao Changqing said, "Don't hide it, Mr., I always remember that in the past, when we opened a bun shop outside to earn a few more taels of silver, there were people eyeing each other, and it was even more difficult to live in the imperial capital." "Shangcang Qing yì will not give you precious things, although the Zhao family is quite related to Queen Song, when he really wants to see Queen Song, Zhao Changqing is a little more careful.

"The imperial capital residence, isn't it easy?" Mr. Su smiled lightly, "Don't worry too much, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will flood." Our worst time has passed. ”

When Xia Wen came home and heard about this, he thought for a moment and said to Zhao Changqing, "Our family has nothing to show for it, the queen announced that you entered the palace, it is not a matter of Xuanyuan Gong, it should be from the Chengenhou Mansion." ”

Zhao Changqing served him to change into homely clothes, and said, "I think so too, but I can't know until I enter the palace." ”

Xia Wen smiled, "It won't be a bad thing, I'll send you to the palace gate tomorrow." Although he didn't know why, he was friendly with Song Jiarang, and he had no merit in the northwest at first, and the queen suddenly passed Zhao Changqing into the palace, at least there would be no malice.

There is nothing difficult to enter the palace, it is nothing more than to get up early in the morning, go to the palace gate in advance and wait, according to the rules of the palace, there will be no difference.

Xia Wen's grade is not high, on weekdays, the small court will not be able to take his turn, and he has to be qualified to stand on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, today is not the day of the big court, he got up early, and after the husband and wife had breakfast together, he sent Zhao Changqing to the palace gate.

Zhao Changqing entered the palace for the first time in his life, admired the majesty of the palace without a trace, and followed the little eunuch through several palaces and palace gates, and arrived at the Fengyi Palace. Even if you arrive at Fengyi Palace, you can't get in, wait in the courtyard first, the little eunuch goes in and understands it, and someone from the palace comes out to take you in.

At this time, the morning sun is rising, the red light is ten thousand ways, the glazed tiles on the palace courtyard are shining, the Queen Song has already eaten the meal, the red panes are all opened, and the fragrance of grass and trees in the morning pours into the room, which is fresh.

Zhao Changqing made a big salute, and Queen Song said, "Sit." "Tell the palace people, "Where has the princess gone?" Call her over. ”

There are palace people to find the princess, some palace people move to embroider the stool, Zhao Changqing sat respectfully, Queen Song smiled, "Sister Fu came into the palace to say that Anren has done a miracle, the princess heard about it and talked to me for several days, my ears are really noisy, so I have to invite Anren to come into the palace." ”

That's why. Zhao Changqing couldn't imagine it, she had the courage to look up at Queen Song, Queen Song's eyebrows and eyes were just delicate, not even more beautiful than Zhao Changqing, but the graceful state on her body was indescribable. Zhao Changqing said, "Courtiers used to use this to coax their children to play. ”

Empress Song was actually curious and asked, "Are Anren born with such divine powers?" ”

Zhao Changqing shook his head, "I fainted once when I was a child, and suddenly my strength increased. ”

Empress Song asked, "You must be very unaccustomed to it at first, right?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It seems that everything around me has turned into paper paste all of a sudden, and you have to be very careful in what you do." The palace people brought the tea, Zhao Changqing took it, and said, "It's like taking this teacup, at the beginning, if you are not careful, it will be broken." ”

The world is so big that there are no surprises.

Queen Song herself also had an adventure, listened to it with a smile, and said, "Anren's seasoning powder is amazing." She didn't know if Zhao Changqing had the same adventure as her.

Zhao Changqing said, "It's just a small skill of carving insects." ”

Empress Song sent the palace people away and said, "What can change people's lives is often these carving insect skills." I'm not curious about the secret recipe, but I don't know how the Anren came up with it? I can speak with confidence here. ”

Zhao Changqing naturally trusted Queen Song's conduct, and over the years of cooperating with Shopkeeper Li, he has made no less money, and he has not swallowed small things with big things. Therefore, although they have never met, Zhao Changqing has always believed that Empress Song has a respectable character.

Zhao Changqing said softly, "The courtiers have a relative, her temperament is a little eccentric, she has to fast on the fifteenth day of the new year, in fact, she likes to eat meat the most, and she is not satisfied with many meals when fasting, and she always says that it is not tasteful." The courtiers thought of this method, baked the chicken in the pot and dried, hammered it into a fine powder, whether it was soup or cooking, and put some chicken powder in it, it was particularly fragrant, and no one found the reason. The relative had a delicious meal and stopped complaining. ”

Empress Song nodded slightly and smiled, "People always like to pray to God and worship Buddha, but they don't know that if they do their best on weekdays, they are more spiritual than gods and Buddhas." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Yes." Gods and Buddhas are nothing more than persuading people to be good, and most people like to hold Buddha's feet temporarily. "That was a long time ago, she married Ling Teng, and Second Mrs. Ling would always make things difficult in this way. Later, Ling Teng went to the imperial examination, and Ling Er's wife ate fasting and recited the Buddha's prayer to God and Buddha to bless her son to win the imperial examination. In fact, Second Mrs. Ling is the most unaccustomed to eating vegetarian food, so she is always picky about the tastelessness of the dishes she cooks. She couldn't bear to think of this trick. At that time, I wondered how to dare to speak to people. Later, there was an incident with Xiao Lihua, and the steamed bun shop and dim sum shop were all sold, and Feng Jian was hesitant about the formula of the bun ingredients. In fact, the seasoning of the buns is nothing more than borrowing the broth, and the broth is boiled out of chicken, Zhao Changqing inadvertently remembered this incident in his previous life and prepared the first seasoning powder.

Queen Song smiled and was about to say something, when she heard a sound outside the door, and the ninth princess, dressed in red clothes, ran in on her feet. Zhao Changqing hurriedly got up, followed by two older grandmothers, two young palace people, and two other ladies of the same age as the ninth princess, one of whom Zhao Changqing recognized, the girl from the Qi Mansion. The other one is a bit of a face.

The ninth princess looked at her mother Yifu in a similar manner, looked at Zhao Changqing and asked, "Mother, is this Zhao Anren?" ”

Empress Song smiled, "Yes." You haven't been talking about Anren, I announced her into the palace, what did you do, and I didn't look for you. ”

The ninth princess was born round and round, with a big red dot on her eyebrows, combing her bag and her hair, beautiful like a doll on a New Year's painting, she said seriously, "I went to Mama Zhang to learn how to make clothes, and when I learned, I made a dragon robe for my father." ”

Empress Song smiled, I really don't know who I learned such sweet words from her, the daily life of the ninth princess is to eat, drink, play and coax her emperor father. Saying something inconsequential every day, Emperor Zhaowen can coax her silly and silly.

The ninth princess also has a familiar temper, she went to talk to Zhao Changqing, and when she saw Zhao Changqing standing, she said, "Anren, you can sit." After Zhao Changqing sat down, the ninth princess asked, "Anren, you will use silver to make patterns, won't you?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Yes." "When talking to children, you must not drag the text, let alone say something specious and modest, because they have not yet learned the world and may not understand it.

The ninth princess hurriedly ordered, "Mama Zhang, go to my mother's place to help me get some ingots of silver." "The ninth princess was cultivated by her mother, and she was very financially conscious at a young age, and she saved her own silver money on weekdays, but if she had flowers, she asked Queen Song for it, and Emperor Zhaowen often gave her gold and silver bills to make her happy. In fact, in the palace, in addition to rewarding the palace people, there is really no need for money on other tops.

When the silver ingot was taken, the ninth princess said crisply, "Anren, you can pinch a peony flower for me." My father said that I was his little peony flower. ”

The silver ingot was like dough in Zhao Changqing's hand, and the ninth princess opened her mouth slightly, watching the silver ingot being pinched into a vivid peony flower. The ninth princess stretched out her little fleshy hand and touched it, took it from Zhao Changqing's hand, held it in her soft palm, and showed it to Queen Song, surprised and happy, her voice was still childish, "Mother, mother, look!" It's really a peony flower! ”

Empress Song picked it up and looked at it carefully, and smiled, "It seems that what Sister Fu said is true." ”

"yes. Cousin Fu will never lie to me again. The ninth princess said, "Mother, you help me hold the peony first." He grabbed a silver ingot from the plate and gave it to Zhao Changqing, saying, "Anren, you can help me pinch a rose again." ”

So, Zhao Changqing didn't do anything in the morning, just pinched tricks for the ninth princess, kept pinching a plate of silver ingots, and pinched a small statue of the ninth princess. The waiter came to pay respects: His Majesty came to eat at noon. Empress Song smiled and said to the ninth princess, "Let Anren go back first, I've pinched so many tricks for you." When do you want to settle down, I'll announce her into the palace again, okay? ”

The Ninth Princess was still unsatisfied and said, "Okay then." Anren, thank you for your hard work. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Your Highness likes it, it's an honor for the courtiers." ”

The ninth princess obviously really liked the tricks that Zhao Changqing pinched for her, she generously rewarded Zhao Changqing with two satins, and Queen Song added some things, so she ordered someone to send Zhao Changqing out of the palace.

The prince has entered school this year, and Emperor Zhaowen went to the East Palace first, asked the prince about the progress of his studies, compared the prince with a few words, and took his son to Fengyi Palace for dinner. As soon as the father and son arrived at Fengyi Palace, they received a gift from the ninth princess, who gave a chrysanthemum to the prince and a peony to Emperor Zhaowen.

Emperor Zhaowen hugged her on his lap, "Have you seen Zhao Anren?" ”

The ninth princess said, "These are all pinched by Zhao Anren for me." Father, don't you know how powerful Zhao Anren is! Then the ninth princess told her emperor father about how powerful Zhao Anren was. In the end, the ninth princess came to a conclusion, "Zhao Anren's martial arts are definitely better than those of her mother, father, I want to follow Zhao Anren to learn how to pinch tricks, okay?" ”

Emperor Zhaowen smiled, "This is not something that can be learned in a while. ”

"Then I can learn it if I study it for a few more days." The ninth princess showed her father the small statue that Zhao Changqing pinched for her, and said happily, "When I learn, I will also pinch one for my father." ”

Emperor Zhaowen smiled, "If you like it, ask her to come to the palace to teach you." "This is not a matter for Emperor Zhaowen at all, and he has the right to coax his daughter to play.

The ninth princess was really happy, and she raised her mouth and took a sip of Emperor Zhaowen, and Emperor Zhaowen laughed.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince silently glanced at his silly sister, and said in his heart, it is indeed the capable who work, the wise who are tired, and the fool who enjoys wealth without worry.

Zhao Changqing and Empress Song met for the first time, and they had a good impression of each other. It's just that Zhao Changqing didn't expect that he could become one of the gentlemen of the Nine Princesses. The course is not tiring, just go every five days.

Even Xia Shaoqing's wife, Xia Gongren, couldn't help but say after hearing her daughter say this, "It's really good luck." "The emperor has ten princesses, and the ninth princess is the only princess who has a descendant, and her status is noble, which can be imagined.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou rarely returned to her parents' home, and said, "This step is on God." "Since the prince entered school, the queen began to choose a companion for the ninth princess to read, and to choose a female gentleman. The female gentlemen of the nine princesses are all from the wealthy families of the imperial capital, with noble identities and their own strengths. Where does it look like Zhao Changqing, what is from the northwest border city, I have never heard of the realm, but the first six-grade Xiao'an people have taken such shit luck, which is really indescribable envy and jealousy.

For example, Xia Gongren, Mrs. Yong'anhou, mother and daughter, this is envy and jealousy, and for example, Mrs. Song Qi, she is completely happy for Zhao Changqing, Qi smiled, "This is fate, otherwise Her Royal Highness the princess has seen more wives, why do you just like Changqing." "If you have a chance, you have to take it. Zhao Changqing seized the opportunity, at least he had a place in the circle of fate.

Of course, not all of them have good intentions.

"I'm climbing higher and higher, and I'm really talented in this drill camp."

"Do you want to spread the news, and make sure that the Zhao family can't eat and go around."

"He often said that if you climb high, you can fall hard. Let Zhao climb a little higher. ”
