Chapter Twenty-Six: The Tanabata Feast
Before Zhao Qingran finished getting angry, Yu Xizhou swallowed the yam in his mouth, "This dish of sheep is a yam, the yam is full of the aroma and essence of mutton, and the yam has its own soft taste, the powder is glutinous and sweet, and it melts in the mouth." Not bad. ”
Yu Xizhou's cooking skills are clear to both of them, and being praised by Yu Xizhou like this, Shen Nanfeng became interested, and also took a mouthful of Yanghuai yam and tasted it.
Although the taste is not one top and one is not good, but thinking that the person who made this dish is Zhao Qingran, Shen Nanfeng also praised it rarely: "It's done well." ”
At this moment, Zhao Qingran's heart had a feeling that she had never felt before, she didn't know what was going on, she looked at Yu Xizhou, and felt that she was not as annoying as before.
Immediately, Shen Nanfeng turned his head and asked Yu Xizhou, "What are you doing here?" ”
The words were unkind, but the tone was not so hard, as if he realized that he had said the wrong thing, Shen Nanfeng turned his face away, but he was not embarrassed to correct it.
Fortunately, Xizhou didn't mind, she said, "I'll bring you food." ”
So, the three of them sat down together for a rare meal.
After eating, while Shen Nanfeng was still waiting for something, Yu Xizhou packed up his things and left, seemingly not intending to forgive him.
Looking at Yu Xizhou's back, he didn't know what to say for a while, but he felt extremely lost in his heart.
I can't live this kind of life anymore!
After thinking about it in the study for a long time, Shen Nanfeng finally decided to put down his secondary body and go to Yu Xizhou to apologize.
But he didn't know what to do, and suddenly remembered that Xiao You said when he delivered food a few days ago that the princess had no help to cook, and wanted to help the princess ask for a slave to help.
Suddenly, Shen Nanfeng's eyes lit up, who else did he send, wasn't he the best helper.
So Shen Nanfeng ran to help Yu Xizhou, just saw Shen Nanfeng, Yu Xizhou was startled, but found that Shen Nanfeng actually gave him a hand, and his heart was moved.
When eating, for the first time in so many days, Yu Xizhou volunteered to eat at the same table with Shen Nanfeng.
Shen Nanfeng said: "Princess, I'm sorry, it's the king who is wrong......
Yu Xizhou smiled: "Can I not forgive you." ”
Hearing this, Shen Nanfeng also smiled, and then said, "Of course, no. ”
After the two reconciled, the atmosphere in the mansion eased all of a sudden, and Zhao Qingran in the other courtyard also settled down a lot.
As the days passed, it was the eve of the Qixi Festival in a blink of an eye.
On this day, the lights are lit up outside, and every household is preparing for the festival, which is lively and lively, and the palace is naturally no exception.
Especially the emperor, since the last time he tasted the cake made in Xizhou, he has always been obsessed with this novel dessert.
However, Yu Xizhou has become a princess and almost does not enter the palace. If the emperor finds Yu Xizhou to enter the palace for a bite to eat, it will be unpleasant to hear when it spreads.
In desperation, the emperor could only hold back his appetite.
And this time, it happened to be the Qixi Festival, and the palace was going to hold a palace banquet, so it was best to let Yu Xizhou enter the palace on this opportunity.
So, the emperor issued a holy decree and specially ordered the prince of Qin to enter the palace with the princess to face the saint.
Yu Xizhou, who received the order, really didn't understand what it meant that the emperor had specially issued a holy decree to let her go.
Before the two of them could figure it out, the father-in-law who was propagating the decree had already finished reading it.
When he handed the holy decree to Shen Nanfeng, his father-in-law specially said: "The last time the princess made a dessert, the emperor has been thinking about it since he ate it, and he really thinks about it." ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Nanfeng knew that it was the emperor who was greedy.
On the Qixi Festival, the two entered the palace together.
On the sedan chair, Shen Nanfeng instructed: "It doesn't matter how much you believe me in Wangfuzhuang, but now that you have entered the palace to face the saint, you and I must show our affection for the couple." ”
Yu Xizhou was wearing a heavy palace dress at this time, and he was wearing a head full of beads, and he was very uncomfortable.
Hearing the other party say this, she knew that now was not the time to lose her temper, "Okay, okay, I got it." ”
When the two entered the palace and got off the carriage, a hairpin on Yu Xizhou's head was not inserted tightly and accidentally fell to the ground.
Yu Xizhou hadn't reacted yet, but Shen Nanfeng saw it first, he picked up the hairpin and stopped Yu Xizhou: "Xizhou." ”
Hearing someone call his name, Yu Xizhou subconsciously turned around, but was held by Shen Nanfeng on the shoulder.
Shen Nanfeng carefully inserted the hairpin into Yu Xizhou, looked at Yu Xizhou twice, and said with a smile: "Today's princess is like a fairy in the sky descending to earth." ”
Hearing Shen Nanfeng's praise, Yu Xizhou was a little shy, and she glared at Shen Nanfeng: "Then you mean that I don't usually look like a fairy." ”
"Good, good, good. It's usually like it, but it's extra immortal today. Shen Nanfeng's eyes were smiling, and the lit palace lamp fell in his eyes, like the stars in the sky falling in the Milky Way.
For a while, Yu Xizhou was also a little stunned.
But soon she reacted and said, "Let's go." The palace banquet is about to begin. ”
This scene at the gate of the palace has fallen into the eyes of many well-intentioned people.
King Qin personally gave the princess hairpin hairpin, and the two had an intimate conversation.
This favor of the prince, which woman doesn't want to get. So this scene made many nobles in the capital want to tear up the Luo Pa in their hands.
Regardless of other people's eyes, Shen Nanfeng directly reached out and held Yu Xizhou's hand, Yu Xizhou's body stiffened, approached Shen Nanfeng with a smile, and whispered: "Don't be too presumptuous with your guy." ”
"Oh? Lady, today is a palace banquet, and the husband doesn't want to be chewed by others to say that the husband and wife are not harmonious. Shen Nanfeng also smiled and lowered his head and whispered.
It's a pity, today is an important day. Otherwise, Yu Xizhou would have thrown Shen Nanfeng's hand out long ago.
In this way, the two of them entered the banquet under the envious eyes of others.
The emperor naturally saw it, and he didn't expect that Shen Nanfeng could really be so affectionate with Yu Xizhou, and this pair can be regarded as a good couple.
The emperor, who felt good about himself, was happy to give Yu Xizhou a lot of rewards, although Yu Xizhou didn't know why the emperor was so happy, but he still accepted all the rewards.
After meeting the emperor, Shen Nanfeng presented the cake he brought to the emperor.
As soon as he saw the box, the emperor knew what it contained.
He said happily: "The son of the world has a heart." ”
"Your Majesty is serious."
There were other people waiting to meet the emperor in the back, and Shen Nanfeng left with Yu Xizhou without staying longer.
As soon as the people below saw that King Qin was coming, many people surrounded them, all wanting to greet Shen Nanfeng.
But because Yu Xizhou and Shen Nanfeng had some obedient personalities, they didn't dare to come forward.
Seeing this, Shen Nanfeng said to Xizhou: "I'll go and be polite to them first, you stay here, don't move around at will." ”
"Okay. There you go. ”
After finishing speaking, Shen Nanfeng went to a group of people wearing official uniforms.
This palace is different from the palace, Yu Xizhou knows in his heart that if he offends someone here, it will be very troublesome.
But I didn't expect Yu Xizhou to never expect not to look for trouble, but trouble came to the door.
"Yo, who do I see this is? It turned out to be the princess of King Qin. An arrogant voice came.
The voice came a brightly dressed woman.
Because she usually doesn't go out of the gate of Xizhou, she doesn't know who this woman is, but she looks at the clothes and beautiful face. Presumably she is also a noble girl in this capital.
Seeing that Yu Xizhou seemed to be looking at herself, the woman's expression became even more arrogant, "Hmph, I don't know where the rough woman came from." It's just a good life, so I can be with the prince. ”
The women next to her were obviously the followers of this woman, and they all echoed: "That's right, this rough woman is just that her ancestors burned high incense, and she can't be on the stage or can't be on the stage." ”
"If the prince doesn't marry you but any girl here, it will be of great benefit to his career, what else will you do besides cooking, I really don't know what the prince likes about you."
"What this king likes is that she can cook."
I don't know when, Shen Nanfeng has already returned, and his face is extremely ugly.
Obviously, after seeing all the scenes just now, the women who were still chewing the root of their tongues bowed their heads in horror and saluted: "King Qin's son is healthy." ”
"You are just a group of women who have not been out of the cabinet, but you don't salute when you see the princess, not only that, but you also make sarcastic remarks, this king sees that you are tired of life." Shen Nanfeng said sharply.
Frightened, several women immediately knelt down, "Shizi, we know that we are wrong." ”
"Oh, is it useful to say to this king?" Shen Nanfeng sneered.
The woman hurriedly said: "The princess, it was the courtiers who were stunned for a while, and I hope that the princess will let the courtiers go." ”
Seeing this, Yu Xizhou whispered to Shen Nanfeng: "Nanfeng...... Forget it. ”
Shen Nanfeng glanced at Yu Xizhou, and finally said: "This king doesn't care what Xizhou's identity was before. From the moment the king married her, she was the princess of the king, and not just any cat or dog could put her beak. If there is a next time, this king will not spare it. ”
This scene made everyone present look extremely envious.
With Shen Nanfeng's words in front of the palace and the maintenance of Xizhou, almost no one dares to look down on Xizhou anymore or come up to find trouble.
After all, offending Yu Xizhou is equivalent to offending the prince of Qinwang.
In this capital, it is already difficult, and no one wants to set up a strong enemy for themselves because of the speed of their tongues.
And just now, the emperor seems to have given a lot of rewards to this princess, although this princess has no noble status, but she is unexpectedly very favored.
Soon, the feast began.
Everyone is staggered, pushing cups and changing lamps, and on the high platform in the middle, there are dancers who are indulging in singing and dancing.
