The emperor's Qi'er refers to Princess Fangrong, this princess is the queen's concubine, who has been out of the palace in the early years, and has been eating fasting and reciting Buddha in the Huguo Temple, saying that she wants to pray for her father.

In these years, Princess Fangrong Sun Qi has almost never come back from Huguo Temple, although the emperor will send people to condolence every year, but after all, she has not seen her for a long time, so suddenly wanting to see her, Zhao Guifei has a little more doubt in her heart.

It's just that since the emperor said so, Zhao Guifei didn't dare to refute it in person, so she only called Gonggong Zhang in: "You quickly go to Huguo Temple to take Princess Fangrong back to the palace, the emperor wants to see her." ”

Gonggong Zhang received the order and quickly quit to do something.

The emperor was very satisfied when he saw Zhao Guifei implementing his instructions so quickly: "These days, Concubine Ai has worked hard. He whispered a word and closed his eyes.

Zhao Guifei smiled lightly, and still showed a worried look about the emperor: "As long as the emperor can be happy, the concubines should do whatever they want, just hope that the emperor can get better soon." ”

The emperor was already tired, and he was already sleeping in a daze at the moment, and when he heard Zhao Guifei say this, he was really a little moved in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything, so he just fell asleep with a soft "um".

Zhao Guifei looked at the emperor who was already asleep, her brows furrowed, she was very worried, she was afraid that there was not much time left for her now.

Three days later, Princess Sun Qi of Fangrong was taken back to the palace, and the princess, who had been eating fasting and chanting Buddha in Huguo Temple, returned to the capital, which was a thing that made the people excited.

Not to mention that this princess is the daughter of the queen, her identity is originally more noble than other princesses and those princes, that is, she can keep her vows, in order to pray for the emperor, in order to pray for the blessing of the people, in the Huguo Temple for several years to eat fasting and chant Buddha days, it is worthy of respect.

As soon as Sun Qi's carriage entered the city gate, he saw welcoming people on both sides of the road.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the people in the capital, although Sun Qi couldn't open the curtain to show his face, he was really happy in his heart.

She came back this time, firstly, because the emperor wanted to see her, and secondly, she also felt that the time was almost now, and the things that should be deployed had been deployed, and then she should return to the capital to take care of it, and the plan had just begun.

Sun Qi in the carriage, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, was not at all the rumored woman who had not eaten properly for several days when she heard that the emperor was sick.

And in the crowd, there are also people talking about Sun Qi's return to Beijing.

"This princess Fangrong suddenly returned to the palace, does it mean that the emperor is really no longer good?" One of the citizens whispered.

The people around him hurriedly covered his mouth: "You don't want to die, dare to say this kind of thing, aren't you afraid of losing your head?" As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Qi's carriage again: "Speaking of which, don't you think that Princess Fangrong is already this age, and now that she is back, it is more like the emperor is going to prepare for Princess Fangrong's lifelong events?" ”

Hearing him say this, the people who just said that the emperor was no longer good suddenly felt that it made sense, so he nodded: "That's right, but there are few marriageable sons in the capital who are worthy of Princess Fangrong in terms of identity." ”

After that, the topic revolved around Sun Qi's marriage.

In the palace, Zhao Guifei asked people to go to Sun Qi's original palace early in the morning to clean up, and also dialed all the palace maids and eunuchs in the princess's share, waiting for Sun Qi to come back.

But unexpectedly, Sun Qi did not return to the palace directly at all, but went to the eldest princess's mansion as soon as he returned to the capital.

Sun Ying received a letter from Sun Qi early in the morning, saying that the emperor had decreed that she should come back, but on the way she received a letter from Zhao Guifei, saying that the emperor was not in good health and should not be disturbed, so let her stay in her palace after returning to the palace, and wait until the emperor remembered to summon her.

"Auntie, you know, where would that woman Zhao Guifei be so kind to let me go back to the palace to live, she will definitely send a lot of people to watch me, originally I went to Huguo Temple, there was no one around, if I go back to the palace, then there will be her people around, where can I live comfortably?!" As soon as he arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, Sun Qi began to coquettish with Sun Ying.

Originally, Sun Ying loved this niece very much, and felt that she was the daughter of her sister-in-law, and she grew up watching her since she was a child, so she naturally got a lot closer.

Seeing Sun Qi's thin face, Sun Ying hugged her very distressedly: "You have suffered outside all these years, don't be afraid, now that you have come to your aunt, Concubine Zhao can't do anything to you." ”

Sun Qi nodded: "I heard that Ming Sheng went to the border pass?" She and Zhao Mingsheng grew up together, even in the days of Huguo Temple, they would ask everything about Zhao Mingsheng from time to time, and now when they came back to the capital, they originally wanted to take the opportunity of living in the eldest princess's mansion to catch up with Zhao Mingsheng, but on the way, I heard that Zhao Mingsheng and Sun Yu had gone to the border.

"yes, he's grown up now, and he doesn't even listen to me." Sun Yu sighed, but he still didn't expose his mood too much, and changed the topic after saying only one sentence: "You just came back, you must be tired, since you have to wait for the emperor's holy decree to summon you, it will not be called to the palace in a moment and a half, you go to the room to rest first, and I will ask you to eat later." ”

Sun Qi nodded obediently, then bowed and followed the maid.

Sun Ying looked at Sun Qi's back, only felt pity, but didn't think much about it anymore, only turned his head and told the maid to prepare to eat and drink.

It's just that Sun Qi didn't receive the emperor's summons for half a month after he came back, so Sun Ying and Sun Qi were a little anxious.

"Is my father really so sick? Can't you even see me? Sun Qi looked very worried, but what he was really thinking in his heart was that Zhao Guifei must have done something, otherwise since the emperor had already issued an order to bring her back, why did he refuse to summon her?

Sun Ying had already sent someone to the palace to inquire, so he said lightly: "The imperial doctor is now using some medicinal materials to hang the emperor's spirit, no matter how you say it, it will not be that you don't have the spirit to see you, it must be that Zhao Guifei, this woman has always been scheming, it must be her who stopped the emperor from seeing you." ”

Sun Qi frowned when he heard Sun Ying say this, but now for them, there was no other way than to wait.

Yunyan has been running the restaurant wholeheartedly since Zhao Mingsheng left, and now the restaurant is her source of income, so it is naturally worth Yunyan's efforts.

It's just that on this day, a rare guest came to the restaurant.

"Imperial Chef Li?!" Yunyan happened to come downstairs to find the shopkeeper, and when he saw Li Zimo standing at the door, he walked over: "Rare guest, why are you here?" ”

"Naturally, there is something that wants to trouble the Lord of Yunyan." Li Zimo raised his hand and saluted.

Yun Yan was slightly stunned, Li Zimo would hardly open his mouth to ask Yun Yan for anything, but every time he opened his mouth, it was about things in the palace, so Yun Yan raised his hand and made a "please" gesture: "Since there is something to say, then Imperial Chef Li will come up with me first, after all, it is inconvenient here." ”

Li Zimo glanced at the full hall of diners, and naturally knew that if he said it here, it would naturally be bad for others to listen to it and become a topic of conversation after dinner, so he nodded and followed Yunyan to the attic.

The first time he came to this attic, he was naturally surprised by the layout here: "I didn't expect there to be such a place above this restaurant." ”

"Imperial Chef Li smiled, I'm a woman, and it's not suitable to always show up, but there are still many things in this restaurant that I need to decide, so it's better for me to be in this restaurant, so I made such a room, which is also convenient to talk about."

Li Zimo originally felt that Yunyan's mind was always very meticulous, and he just appreciated it very much, but now that he heard Yunyan say such a reason, he naturally only admired it even more.

"Speaking of which, this time, I came to ask the Lord of Yunyan for a favor."

Yunyan motioned for Li Zimo to sit down, and then sat aside himself: "Why don't you tell me what the matter is first, if I can help me then decide whether to help or not." ”

Li Zimo nodded and began to say: "I don't know if the county lord has heard about Princess Fangrong's return to the capital recently. ”

"This is natural, the princess returned to Beijing, but did not return to the palace but went to the eldest princess's mansion, this matter caused a stir in the capital, and I naturally listened to it."

"That's it, originally the emperor took Princess Fangrong back to the capital, and our imperial dining room began to prepare a banquet for the princess, but now the emperor has not summoned the princess, and we don't know when this banquet will open, but this banquet will be opened sooner or later, so I will find an opportunity to come to see the county lord, just to let the county lord help us in the imperial dining room when the banquet is received." Li Zimo said, and bowed to Yunyan very sincerely.

Yunyan was slightly stunned, she slowly stood up: "Imperial Chef Li is serious, how can Yunyan He De prepare a banquet for the princess, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?!" ”

Li Zimo thought that Yunyan was about to refuse, so he hurriedly said: "The county lord doesn't know, this emperor's taste has become more and more tricky after he got sick, except for the two dishes you taught me before, Huang Shang almost doesn't eat anything else, and it was I who came to ask the county lord." ”

Yunyan made a look of embarrassment, she turned around and made a look of thinking for a long time, and finally nodded: "I will do my best, but when the time comes, Imperial Chef Li will have to cooperate with me." ”

Hearing Yunyan's promise, Li Zimo smiled happily: "The county lord of Yunyan will give orders when the time comes, as long as it is ordered by the county lord, Zimo will definitely do his best!" ”

Yunyan chuckled, chatted with Li Zimo for a few more words, and sent Li Zimo away.

When she returned to the county lord's mansion from the restaurant, as soon as she stepped into the gate, she saw Yundao Ruins walking towards her.

"Uncle." Yunyan bowed.

Yun Daoxu didn't mean to abide by etiquette, and asked directly, "Have you agreed to Li Zimo's request?" ”
