The next day, the palace held a banquet, Zhao Zhifu and the officials under him came, Zhang Wang Li San's family members also came, but not many female dependents came, except for the daughter of Zhao Zhifu, There are also four or five officials' daughters, King Yu felt that his little princess could not be too tired, and there were not many people who made the post, and he just asked people to talk to the little girl and talk about the customs and customs, so he did not invite the wife of the house, only invited a few daughters of serious officials.

King Yu met the male guests in the front yard, and Ye Qian met several girls in the back yard.

Everyone has long known that the unmarried Princess Yu is also here, and she is in the luxury carriage on the day she enters the city, but she has not seen anyone, but she heard that she is still young, and when she sees it today, she finds that although she is smaller, her bearing is extraordinary, and her gestures are very different, and she is the daughter of a powerful family.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Shuyao, the daughter of the Zhao Governor's Mansion, stepped forward and introduced the other girls, "The princess has come all the way, the journey is far away, and it is very hard, right?" It stands to reason that Ye Qian and King Yu have not yet married, and they should not be called princesses, but they have been married by holy decree, and they have been walking all the way, and everyone has long regarded her as a princess in their hearts. Ye Qian herself didn't think there was anything wrong with calling her so, anyway, in her opinion, King Yu was her husband, and she was naturally the princess.

Ye Qian smiled, "It's not hard to have the prince by your side." She saw that Zhao Shuyao was born with willow eyebrows, gentle and amiable, and her demeanor and speech were downright and generous, and she felt a little close, "There is a big garden in this palace, I just came here yesterday, and I haven't seen it yet, why don't we go shopping together?" "She slept as soon as she arrived yesterday, and she didn't wake up until evening, and she hadn't seen the palace yet.

Zhao Shuyao had already been advised by his father, saying that this Ye girl was very favored by King Yu and could not be disobeyed, and said with a smile: "That dare is good, I have heard that the palace is built exquisitely and atmosphericly, and it has the charm of Kyoto, which is very different from the building on our tent leaf side, but I have not seen it with my own eyes. ”

Ye Qian was young, and she didn't hold the princess's shelf, Zhao Shuyao was fifteen years old, and she was more sensible, both of them wanted to make friends, so they naturally laughed and feasted, and the other girls also smiled and echoed, and several people walked towards the garden together. The daughter of the same acquaintance family is named Liu Miaoyan, who is the same age as Ye Qian, and usually has a little disagreement with Zhao Shuyao, so she snorted softly, "Slip the whiskers and shoot the horse." In her opinion, Ye Qian is proudly showing off, Zhao Shuyao is cautious, both of them are the same dog, but she didn't dare to talk about Ye Qian, she only dared to ridicule Zhao Shuyao.

Zhao Shuyao heard it, the smile on the corner of her mouth froze, but she continued to follow behind Ye Qian casually. What about the whiskers, my father said, although he has done his best to manage this tent leaf, but it is still unsatisfactory, if King Yu is really a prince who doesn't know anything, it's okay, if he understands a little, he will definitely be dissatisfied with him, and when the time comes, his official position may not be able to be kept, after all, the officials in the fief are appointed and dismissed by the prince at will. Therefore, her father carefully told her that she must think of being close to the princess, maybe she can get a glimmer of life.

Ye Qian also heard it, but it was the first day she had seen these girls, and it was impossible to say who was good and who was bad, since she didn't offend herself, she didn't plan to get involved in their fight.

The garden of the palace is very large, and before I even walked in, I smelled the fragrance of lotus flowers, "Ah, this place is really beautiful!" Several girls sighed, Ye Qian was also very happy, this is a small lake, rippling blue waves, there are large lotus flowers blooming on the lake, she squinted her eyes and looked carefully, it seems that she also saw the lotus canopy in the lotus bush.

There was a small boat parked on the lake, and the two mothers-in-law on the boat saluted from afar, Ye Qian beckoned, and they rowed the boat to the shore. King Yu told her that everything in this mansion was arranged by him, and she was relieved, so even if it was on the water, she dared to go.

Several girls followed Ye Qian to the boat, and Ye Qian ordered: "Paddle to the lotus flower, and I'll see if there is a good lotus canopy." ”

The two mothers-in-law rocked the boat slowly and entered the lotus bush, and sure enough, there was a fresh lotus canopy. Zhao Shuyao saw that Ye Qian liked it very much, but she didn't dare to lean out to pick it, so she dared to pick a very full lotus pod and send it to Ye Qian.

Ye Qian thanked him, took it in his hand, peeled off a lotus seed, and put it in his mouth, feeling that the taste was similar to that of eating in King Yu's Mansion in Kyoto, the same sweet and delicious, and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhao Shuyao is the oldest here, and seeing that everyone didn't dare to pick it, he simply picked one for everyone, even Liu Miaoyan, who had just sarcastically mocked herself.

Everyone didn't know if they really liked it or in order to echo Ye Qian, they all smiled and praised the deliciousness, but Liu Miaoyan was a little unaccustomed to the appearance of these people, threw the lotus canopy casually, threw it into the water, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said disdainfully: "What's so delicious about this, the food in Yanqing Building is delicious, and Yanqing Building is the best restaurant in Yanqing Building, I followed my father to eat." ”

"The restaurant is good with the restaurant, but the lotus pod has the wonder of the lotus pod, and each has its own benefits." Ye Qian glanced at her lightly, "Yesterday when I passed by on the street, I still smelled the aroma of a kind of dough, which seemed to be something more than ordinary dough, and I thought about tasting it another day." ”

Liu Miaoyan was a little embarrassed, she felt that Ye Qian seemed to be fighting against herself, she said that a high-end restaurant was good, Ye Qian had to say that the street cakes were very fragrant, she was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't dare to refute it. Zhao Shuyao said with a smile: "The princess must be talking about a kind of dough cake that we specialize here, with fried and fragrant epeads in it, called epea cakes, when it is just baked, the crust is browned, the dough is soft, and the inside is layer by layer, with epeas in the middle, and the taste is particularly fragrant." She only ate it when she was a child, after all, she is the daughter of the prefect, how can she eat these street foods.

When she smelled the smell yesterday, Ye Qian was already tempted, and now when she heard her describe it, she wanted to eat it even more, thinking about when she had to buy it on the street and taste it, well, it had to be steaming and freshly baked.

Zhao Shuyao had been secretly observing Ye Qian, and saw her pink little mouth pursed twice, obviously wanting to eat the cake. It turns out that this high-ranking little princess is a lover of food, and she doesn't pay attention to any delicacies, even the lotus canopy in this garden, and the pancakes, although they smell very good, are actually street food, a penny, and ordinary people can afford to eat them. Discovering this, Zhao Shuyao suddenly felt that this little princess was still very cute, after all, she was still young, and she was not as arrogant as she imagined, and she felt that she was a noble princess from Kyoto, and she looked down on the desolate place of canopy leaves. "Next time, I'll send some to the princess, although it's not worth it, just taste it fresh."

Ye Qian shook her head, "No, I'm going to buy it myself." "She wants to eat hot food, Zhao Shuyao sent someone to buy it and send it over, it won't be fresh, besides, if she really wants to send someone to buy it, she can send someone herself, why bother others.

Liu Miaoyan felt that Zhao Shuyao wanted to pat herself on the back but was rejected, quite a little gloating, but Zhao Shuyao's face was as usual, and she smiled and helped Ye Qian peel off the lotus canopy, she found that although Ye Qian liked it, she was not good at peeling it.

"The princess's big-sleeved shirt is really beautiful, I haven't seen it like this in the canopy, it must be the latest style in Kyoto, right?" Zhao Shuyao helped Ye Qian peel the lotus seeds while chatting casually.

Ye Qian thought for a while, "It's not the latest, this kind of look is very common." "She doesn't really care about the appearance of the clothes, this one seems to have been prepared for her by King Yu, it must be the ordinary style of the Nishang Pavilion.

Among the four or five girls who came, Zhao Shuyao was the oldest, and her father was the prefect, except for Liu Miaoyan, the other girls had a good relationship with her, and they also agreed to discuss clothes and jewelry. Ye Qian has her own favorite style, but she is not very proficient in these, so she shut up after saying a few words.

Zhao Shuyao saw that Ye Qian was not very interested, and after a while, he talked about the various special foods of the tent leaves, including the high-end wine and food in Yanqing Building, and the cheap snacks in the streets and alleys. She was afraid that she had forgotten what was delicious, and when she heard that she wanted to try it in particular, she looked at Bai Zhen who followed her out of the corner of her eye, and Bai Zhen nodded helplessly, signaling that the girl had memorized it.

It's a pity that Zhao Shuyao herself is the daughter of the prefect, and she doesn't know much about street food, most of them are delicious in Yanqing Building, and it is not much different from Tianxianglou in Kyoto. So under the guidance of Zhao Shuyao, everyone began to say that the chef in his house had any special specialty dishes, especially the kind that was uncommon but had a unique taste, Ye Qian was very moved when he heard it, Zhao Shuyao took the opportunity to invite Ye Qian to his house as a guest, and asked the cook to perform for her.

Ye Qian shook her head lightly, "I'm tired all the way, so I have to rest for a while." "Listening to King Yu's meaning, Governor Zhao is definitely going to be demoted, it is not appropriate for her to go to Governor Zhao's house now, besides, she has not seen the hearts of everyone clearly, nor is she clear about the specific plan of King Yu, so she can't go to an official's house as a guest.

was rejected, Zhao Shuyao didn't care, and talked about the customs and habits of the tent leaves with a smile.

Several girls accompanied Ye Qian to talk and laugh, but the atmosphere on the male guest's side was delicate.

Zhang Wang Li San's hometown gentry quite looked down on this prince from Kyoto, although this canopy leaf is said to be his fiefdom, but who doesn't know, the princes are the most prone to accidents, which emperor did not kill a few brothers before ascending the throne, this prince is the youngest, the most domineering, it is estimated that he will not survive the new emperor to ascend the throne. Besides, even if he survives, he will not live in the tent leaf permanently, at most next year after the spring equinox, after praying for the emperor, he will leave, and he will not come back in the future.

King Yu couldn't see what these people were thinking, but he didn't plan to clean them up now.
