Chapter 340: A Secret That Can't Be Revealed
"But you're not the same as me", Jia Lao changed the topic and returned to Hua Mian.
"The moon viewing banquet is a family banquet, and His Royal Highness Eleven's health has just begun to improve, so even if you make a dish like boiled fish, the church has not done anything to you or summoned you to question", Jia Lao suddenly became rare and serious.
"This New Year's banquet is different, this banquet will invite envoys from all over the world to show them the national strength of our country, so there are strict rules for the dishes, from the choice of ingredients to each dish served from the kitchen."
It really deserves to be a palace, it is so troublesome to make a dish, after listening to Jia Lao's explanation, Hua Mian sighed, although he felt annoyed when he heard what Jia Lao said at this time, he couldn't refuse.
Within a few days, the palace received the news that General Zhenbei and his party were approaching the royal capital, and they would return in less than two days.
"It's strange, why doesn't the palace seem to be nervous at all?"
In the afternoon of this day, Xiao Yin sorted out the tableware of His Highness Eleventh and sent it back to the kitchen, when he heard Hua Mian chatting with Xiao Cui.
"I don't know, I remember that when the fourth miss returned to the house on the fourth day of the new year, the house welcomed it with great fanfare", and Hua Mian could only answer what she knew truthfully about Xiaocui's questions.
Hua Mian paused for a moment and put forward the answer that she felt was the most reliable: "Maybe it's different from home, after all, Miss Fourth has already come back once this year, and she can't let everyone stop their work and go out of the city to pick her up."
Xiao Yin walked over and put the tableware he was holding in his hand into the wooden basin on the side, and answered: "You don't know this, Your Highness and I walked outside and heard someone say that this time when General Zhenbei came back, he was in a hurry because of the sneak attack on Mobei City, but this matter must not be known to anyone."
Saying that, Xiaoyin turned his head and looked at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw that no one was passing by, he leaned in and continued: "I heard that even many ministers don't know about Mobei City, after all, it was only proposed by a few princes at the moon viewing banquet, but this time our Highness Eleventh showed his face greatly, so we can follow the light."
Stained? What kind of light is it? Listening to what he said, Hua Mian didn't react for a while, and then remembered that he meant that he could know more gossip news than other people in the palace, and these people in the palace were proud of knowing more than others every day, and they could speculate more easily on the thoughts of the people above.
"So this time General Zhenbei will definitely enter the palace quietly, I'm afraid there won't even be a formal ceremony", Xiaoyin swore a promise.
Hua Mian felt that there was something she couldn't understand, even if she entered the palace secretly, wouldn't she have to send it out with great fanfare when it came to make peace, and how would she explain to the outside world that General Zhenbei had returned to China at that time? But then think about it, this is not a problem for yourself, it is better to think about the recipe for the next meal.
"No matter what, it's always a good thing that the fourth lady is back", Xiaocui is still as optimistic as ever.
Hua Mian then remembered that for the people of the Sikong family, the fourth lady Sikong Yue is a big hero in everyone's minds, as early as in the house, when Xiao Cui mentioned the fourth lady, she was a fan who mentioned her idol.
"It's time to start work", Hua Mian clapped her hands, it would be too late for lunch to talk like this, Xiao Yin and Xiao Cui wanted to talk again, but seeing that Hua Mian had already begun urging, they went back to do things.
