Chapter 101: We have to pick someone in our Shangzhou
"No, isn't this official referring to grandpa? If they find any clues, we will not be exposed. Sheng Zhiyao said worriedly.
"So what now?"
"Hongxue, you have been going to listen to the movements of the Second Prince's Mansion every night for the past few days, and as soon as there is news, you will immediately send a message to me." Sheng Zhiyao sighed and said, this matter is related to the safety of Old Marquis Sheng, she must plan ahead.
"yes, I see."
"Hongxue, you have to pay attention to hiding well, once someone finds out, no matter who it is, there will be no mercy!"
"Yes!" Hongxue respectfully agreed.
Sheng Zhiyao took a deep breath: "It's not early, let's go to bed first." ”
"Hmm." Hongxue agreed.
Early the next morning, Sheng Zhiyao got up, stretched her waist, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
She didn't sleep too well last night, she had a dream, the scene in the dream is still vivid, she dreamed that the old marquis Sheng was imprisoned in the prison, she wanted to save it, but she couldn't do anything.
And she also dreamed of Feng Yuanqing, he actually attacked her, fortunately she escaped by herself, if she was caught by him, she really didn't dare to imagine what she would become.
"Zhiyao, are you up?" The voice of Old Marquis Sheng came from outside the door.
"Grandpa, I'm already up, come in." Sheng Zhiyao hurriedly replied.
The door was pushed open, and Old Marquis Sheng walked in, he looked at Sheng Zhiyao with some concern: "Your face is a little bad, are you too tired?" ”
"It's okay, grandpa, is there something wrong with coming here so early?" Sheng Zhiyao asked with a forced smile, she knew that if she made Old Marquis Sheng worried, then he would definitely think about it again.
"Well, you'd better come into the palace with me!"
"Why?" Sheng Zhiyao asked suspiciously.
"The emperor sent someone to say that the queen wants to see you."
"Oh, I see, okay, I'll pack my things."
"Your face looks terrible, are you okay?" Old Marquis Sheng asked again.
"Grandpa, I'm fine, it's just that I slept a little late last night, it's nothing."
"Okay, then you hurry up."
Soon, Sheng Zhiyao packed up, she got into the carriage, and then the carriage set off and headed for the palace.
Sheng Zhiyao entered the palace and went directly to the Purple Phoenix Palace, while the old Marquis Sheng went to the imperial study.
In the Purple Phoenix Palace, the queen was reviewing the menu of the banquet, and Mama Rong saw Sheng Zhiyao at the door preparing to report, so she stopped her.
She came behind the queen lightly and covered the queen's eyes with her hands: "Guess who I am?" ”
"You girl, I'm not deaf, how can I not hear your voice." The queen rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Grandma Huang, you are so boring."
Sheng Zhiyao let go of her hand and smiled, and sat down by herself: "I brought you some delicious fruits this time, I promise you will like it." ”
"Oh? What fruit? ”
"Look." Sheng Zhiyao ordered someone to present the fruit basket she brought.
When the queen saw the plate of fruits with attractive colors, she was immediately interested.
"What kind of fruits are these? Why haven't I seen it before? ”
"Back to the emperor's grandmother, these are all planted by my own hands, natural and pollution-free, pure organic, sweet and delicious, you can try it." Sheng Zhiyao seemed to pick up a peach and handed it to the queen.
The queen picked up the fruit and took a bite: "Well, the taste is really good, much more delicious than those fruits in the palace." ”
"Hehe, if Grandma Huang likes to eat, I'll send you some every day, you see this yellow one is called mango, this red one is called dragon fruit, and this green one, and this ......" Sheng Zhiyao kept introducing, she found that since she came here, she seems to have changed a lot, and she has become a lot of love and laughter, of course, because there are so many people who love it.
"Well, okay, these imperial grandmothers like it, you can send them to me when you have time in the future."
"Good! If Grandma Huang likes me, I will do a variety of things, and next time I will bring you some meat and vegetables to make Grandma Huang gain weight. Sheng Zhiyao winked mischievously.
"Haha......" The queen was amused by Sheng Zhiyao: "You girl." ”
The queen ate a mango, and then remembered something, she looked up at Sheng Zhiyao: "By the way, Zhiyao, you have the most ghost ideas, come and help me look at the menu of this banquet." ”
"Oh, yes."
Sheng Zhiyao picked up the menu on the table and looked at it, and found that the people who were invited to the banquet were some heavyweight ministers and royal nobles, and she didn't remember their names, but the names of everyone in Shenghou Mansion were there.
She looked up at the queen and said, "What kind of banquet is this royal grandmother?" ”
"This banquet is for the envoys, in addition to Xichu and the little prince from Qi Qin."
"Qi Qin is also here? Does he want to marry too? Sheng Zhiyao looked at the queen in surprise.
"Well, I just found out about it." The queen frowned.
Sheng Zhiyao frowned and pondered for a moment, she suddenly remembered something, and she hurriedly asked, "Grandma Huang, why don't you just let Princess Xichu and Little Prince Qi Qin marry?" Why do you have to pick someone in our Shangzhou? ”
"You kid, how can this kind of thing be so simple, it's not something we should worry about, let's let your imperial grandfather and your grandfather worry about it!" The queen said lightly, although she knew that the emperor was manipulating these things behind her back, she didn't want to interfere.
After all, this is a fight between men, and it is not something that the daughter's family can participate in.
"What Grandma Huang said is that it is far from the norm."
"Okay, Grandma Huang doesn't blame you, you can help Grandma Huang take a look at these dishes, not only to reflect the characteristics of Shang Zhou, but also to express respect and gratitude to all countries, but also to take into account the appetite of the envoys, in short, these take time and energy."
"Hmm." Sheng Zhiyao nodded, and then seriously helped the queen look at the menu.
The queen looked at Sheng Zhiyao's serious appearance, and she liked her more and more in her heart.
Sheng Zhiyao looked at the menu carefully, and kept every dish in mind little by little.
Soon, I read all the dishes on the menu and had an idea.
Sheng Zhiyao raised her head and looked at the queen: "Grandma Huang, what dishes do you and Grandpa Huang like to eat?" ”
"Me? I like sour and spicy, and your grandfather likes sweets. ”
Sheng Zhiyao pondered it carefully, and then said, "Grandma Huang, how about I let me handle this banquet?" I'll make these dishes with the imperial dining room, and I will definitely not lose Shang Zhouchao's face. ”
"But with so many things and dishes, you're going to be tired."
"Grandma Huang doesn't have to worry, I'm only in charge of commanding, I'm an old acquaintance with Master Li, as for the layout of the banquet, it's actually very simple, just let Mama Rong help me."
"Really? Did you know each other before? The queen looked at Sheng Zhiyao meaningfully.
"Of course, I have a good relationship with Master Li." Sheng Zhiyao nodded.
"Hehe, that's good, Mama Rong passed on my decree, this banquet is fully in charge of the county lord, and Li Yuan, the imperial dining room, assists in the banquet for the envoys' meals."
"Yes."
"Also, I will provide the wine used by the imperial grandmother for this banquet, is it okay?" Sheng Zhiyao looked at the queen and said.
"You? Do you know winemaking? The queen looked at her suspiciously.
