Zhao Changye's words made Yan Shiyi stunned for a moment, then got up to thank him, and then smiled slightly and politely refused.

Hearing that Yan Shiyi had already obtained the title deed of the medicinal herb shop, Zhao Changye nodded and smiled. took Yan Shiyi's hand and said a few thoughtful words with concern, meaning that Yan Shiyi can't just look at the small profits in front of her, but also have a long-term plan, as long as she is willing to listen to her, she will help her fly up the branches and become a phoenix.

Zhao Changye did not clearly specify how to make Yan Shiyi's sparrow become a phoenix, but thinking of the matter about the supplier of medicinal materials in Tai Hospital in Anci Palace just now, Yan Shiyi naturally understood in his heart. The county lord is also a noble person to her, and she recognizes this kindness. After Zhao Changye finished speaking, she made a big salute to thank Zhao Changye for his kindness.

Zhao Changye smiled, and the curvature of the corners of his lips was a smile from the heart.

The guests arrived one after another, there were eight or nine in total, and there were three eldest princesses who were about the same age as Zhao Changye, and the other two eldest princesses and the three county lords were more than ten years older than Zhao Changye. A woman in her forties is used to living a lazy life, and at this time she seems to be in poor spirits when she participates in banquets.

Although it is early summer, sitting outside in layers of big dresses and it is noon, it is inevitable that people will be dizzy. Zhao Changye's heart also felt uncomfortable. They are all county lords, and they are the elders of the concubines in terms of status. Let them wait somewhat and look sluggish.

Everyone brought gifts, and on the long table at the entrance of the water pavilion, a box of gold lacquer and silver cups inlaid with jewels looked very valuable.

Everyone inquired about the gifts they brought, and secretly competed with each other's financial resources. Zhao Changye has long been accustomed to being snubbed by these royal sisters, and he doesn't say much to them, accompanied by Yan Shiyi and Yilan, two beautiful and lovely little beauties, drinking tea and looking at the beautiful scenery in the lake, but also comfortable.

After the lively contest of false courtesy, someone inquired about the origin of Yan Shiyi. Ylang is dressed in a special way, and for them who love gossip, they don't need to look at it at all, just look at it.

"Didn't you say that it was King Jiangxia's sister who came over this time?"

"Yo, you don't know? That Xue Chengjun girl had already left the capital and returned to Jiangxia. ”

"I heard that I rejected the family affairs of Dongyang Hou Shizi......"

The woman's eyes that spoke were rolling from side to side, meaningful. The sister next to her, who wanted to answer, realized something, closed her red lips and bit it, swallowing back what she was about to say.

knows what it means to refuse the Queen Mother's marriage, this will not need to be said, as long as you wait for the follow-up, there will be a lively onlooker.

"Her name is Yan Shiyi, and I brought her to talk to the Queen Mother."

Zhao Changye didn't need to explain Xue Chengjun's matter to them, he only briefly introduced Yan Shiyi. At this time, the voice of the eunuch was heard in the distance, and Zhang Guifei arrived.

The crowd stood up to greet them.

A gust of fragrant wind wafted in, and the beads and hairpins jingled to the front.

"Sisters and aunts, hurry up! I'm young, so I can't afford the gifts of my elders. ”

Yan Shiyi quietly raised his eyes and saw a slender woman with elegant clothes and noble spirit walking in.

Zhang Guifei was eighteen or nineteen years old, and her voice was like a tactful warbler's cry. She entered the palace at the age of thirteen and was raised by the prince himself, and married the prince at the age of fifteen, just waiting for the next year.

Everyone returned to their seats in turn, and Zhang Guifei signaled to open the table. The palace people came over with a golden basin to clean everyone's hands. Then a painting boat floated in the middle of the lake, and the silk and bamboo strings sounded slowly. The palace people began to serve the food. The feast officially began.

Probably to match the name of the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Feast, the utensils used to serve the dishes are marigold, gold bowls, silver chopsticks, silver spoons, and silver forks, and the name of each dish has a gold or jade character, and all the dishes are made with the dew collected from the flowers and leaves in the morning.

While listening to Zhang Guifei's introduction, while looking at the exquisite dishes and dim sum revealed by the palace people who opened the gold cover, everyone couldn't help but give out bursts of amazing praise.

Until the end of the banquet, Zhao Changye was always paralyzed.

Yan Shiyi knew Zhao Changye's thoughts. The concubine held this banquet in an elegant and luxurious manner, and it really took a lot of effort, and it was indeed not bad for money. In order to build Fuchun Garden for the emperor, Zhao Changye had to bother to calculate carefully, and her heart was unbalanced.

"On the summer solstice, the emperor and I are going to Fuchun Garden to escape the summer, and then invite my sisters to go with us."

Zhang Guifei said to the eldest princess who walked in front.

The county lords who walked behind bowed their heads and said nothing, and in order to avoid embarrassment, they gossiped to each other and walked out of the garden.

Zhao Changye stopped Yan Shiyi and asked her to wait outside Shenghua Palace with Yilan, and she went in to discuss something with Zhang Guifei. immediately caught up with Zhang Guifei and took out the incense recipe from the tent from her pocket.

Zhang Guifei stood in the shade covered by the palace people with phoenix tail umbrellas, and looked at the incense recipe carefully.

The noonday sun fell on the top of Zhao Changye's head and shoulders, and the tip of her nose and forehead were covered with sweat. She looked at Zhang Guifei's face.

"Where?"

Zhang Guifei folded the incense recipe and held it in her hand, and said to Zhao Changye with a smile.

"It's the folk recipe I asked people to find, and I don't know if it's in line with the concubine's wishes."

Zhao Changye pressed the fine beads of sweat on the tip of his nose with his cuffs and said.

"I tried it before I knew it was a good idea. I still know what the white lingzhi in this incense recipe is, but what is the antler incense? Folk incense ingredients are as rare as treasures. ”

Zhang Guifei looked at Zhao Changye. made Zhao Changye feel a little oppressive, and he was upset for a while. Sweat fell from her forehead. She knows that although Zhang Guifei is young, she is very particular about doing things, and if she is smart in front of her, it is asking for hardship.

The incense recipe was given to her by Yan Shiyi, and she only glanced at it hurriedly and put it in her sleeve pocket, at this time, she could only ask Yan Shiyi to explain it to Zhang Guifei in person......

The sun was shining brightly outside the gate of Shenghua Palace, and Yilan was fanning the wind with his hands. She stretched her neck and looked into the door, and stretched out one hand behind her back to pull Yan Shiyi and said:

"Sister Yan, will the county lord really come out and find us to go in?"

"Yes, don't worry."

Yan Shiyi pulled Yilan back to his side,

"At the banquet just now, you pulled me and didn't let me tell the concubine that I wanted to leave here."

Yilan tugged at the thin braid on his chest and said:

"If Concubine Yi doesn't call us in, then I won't have a chance to leave the capital?"

If you can't leave the capital, you won't have the chance to see Commander Wu again, thinking of this-Yilan's heart is like a big stone weighing down.

"Shh

Yan Shiyi saw someone from the palace walking towards them, and bent his eyes and smiled.

After the palace people confirmed Yan Shiyi's identity, they let her follow in. Yilan took Yan Shiyi's hand and followed. The palace man turned around and frowned, and was about to speak, Yan Shiyi preemptively said:

"The ingredients in the incense recipe are the spices unique to Princess Yilan's hometown."

The palace man didn't say anything more, and led them into the door.

Yan Shiyi's incense formula has the effect of rejuvenating and pleasantly relieving the face.

Yilan explained the antlers very clearly, and Zhao Changye, who was on the side, was moved when he heard it.

"I'll keep this recipe, and you will send it to me in three days."

Zhang Guifei said, her eyes falling on Yan Shiyi's face.

"Yan Shiyi, I know you! Dongyang Hou Shizi Jing Can and Xiaoxian Wang Li Heng both want to carry you into the mansion as a concubine, it seems that they have a good vision. ”

Zhang Guifei smiled.
