In addition to the officials taking the initiative to donate food, the ladies in the palace will not be left behind, Queen Gao read the "Great Law of Eating Marine Food", and directly asked the coastal oyster sauce mill to stop making oyster sauce and change it to a seafood processing workshop.

Marine plants such as kelp, seaweed, seaweed, and sea stone flowers only need to be washed and dried repeatedly.

Marine fish are coarsely coarsely salted and salted, oyster meat is dried and shrimp and shellfish are dried for easy preservation and transportation.

Dozens of oyster sauce mills, let go of the collection, after the completion, put into the warehouse, waiting to be deployed by the imperial court.

The rest of the concubines were not as wealthy as Queen Gao, and they donated their private silver or jewelry without the mark of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Even the more than 100 show girls who came to the end of the draft were not far behind, and they all said that their families were willing to do their part.

Even in order to compete for the position of the crown princess, they secretly competed and constantly increased the amount they wanted to donate.

This year's show girls have been embarrassed since they lived in Chuxiu Palace, they not only have to face the picky selection of the palace grandmothers, but also suffer from the assessment of the prince from time to time.

From "bold and careful" to "positive and optimistic", "wise and accessible", etc., there are endless questions, if this is a big examination room, it really makes people confused anymore.

I thought that after the last round of the draft, with the addition of meals, the ladies should cope with the royal exam smoothly, but this year is actually different.

As soon as the three months passed, there were only more than 100 people left, and the nobles, families, and official girls accounted for ninety percent, and only one percent were born in ordinary people.

Hearing that this group of show girls bid for food donations, they can make the accompanying six-person group happy, do they think that the position of the crown princess will be won by those who have more food?

Queen Gao has been turning a blind eye, but recently these show girls have been making a bit of a fuss, so she couldn't help it and called the prince to her.

"Prince, do you have a favorite candidate?"

"Queen Mother, the son has been chosen, so let's be the daughter of the Fan family in Shudi!"

Empress Gao knew the information about these show girls, "Isn't she too young, she only eats ten years old this year, and it will take five years to wait for him!"

"The queen mother, the son is not big, it is better to be a few years later!"

Mother and son look at each other, brain waves are at the same frequency, yes, the prince's wedding is bound to participate in politics, and the emperor is in the spring and autumn, so it's too late.

"Well, Hongu knows, my son has grown up!"

For dinner, Xia Hongdi made an appointment with Princess Jingyao, of course, he had to go to Kunning Palace for dinner.

"Father, you can taste this garlic spicy kelp, it's just right to eat this on a hot day!"

Xia Hongdi was happy, he did not refuse his daughter's recommendation, tasted chopsticks, and felt that it was quite appetizing, and he had not eaten kelp, which was not unusual.

"This is seaweed made with seaweed, Father, you can wrap rice in this seaweed slices, so good!"

"Ang!" Summer Eun gave his father a performance, and the baby loves to eat seaweed rice.

"Well, this seaweed tastes okay!" It's a bit salty, which is acceptable.

"My brother likes to eat it, and every day he mixes the meat floss in rice and wraps it in seaweed, and he can eat a small bowl!"

Xia En heard his sister mention him, and nodded busily, this crunchy seaweed, he ate it so sweet, and he couldn't help but share a few slices of his father, signaling him to eat it quickly.

Xia Hongdi is very proud, enjoying the children's vegetable feeding, Meizizi, or his little daughter and youngest son are the most filial to his father.

After finishing the meal, when he saw a bowl of desserts brought by the palace maids, Xia Hongdi scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and before he could chew it, he slipped down his throat, so it was not smooth, not like any dessert he had eaten before.

"What is this?"

"Hehe, Father, this is made of sea stone flowers!"

"Huh? in the sea?"

Empress Gao knew that Princess Jingyao didn't understand, so she answered with a smile:

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the book "The Great Law of Eating Marine Food"? That's what the book says

Dried sea stone flowers, boiled with vinegar.

Put some honey, the milk is what it is now, on a hot day, eat it, and blame it for relieving the heat!

In addition to being eaten as a dessert, you can also eat it cold like kombu, crispy and refreshing!"

Xia Hongdi didn't expect that this table full of marine plants, when made, the real taste is not bad, when there is a shortage of food, these are comparable to the bark of a tree.

The importance of the ocean once again raised a section in the emperor's heart, these foods that do not need to be cultivated, only need to be salvaged manually, and then processed and can be served on the table, the more the merrier!

After the two of them finished washing and lying on the bed, Queen Gao informed Xia Hongdi of the prince's favorite and princess candidates.

"The Fan family? Is their family background weaker?" For his eldest son, Xia Hongdi is willing to give him the best, even if he wants to marry ten or eight, he will not have an opinion.

"You see that group of boys have been tossing for three months, and the hundreds or so selected, family backgrounds aside, just looking at people, there is no one who is not smart, it can be seen that the prince likes clever girls, and this can make people more worry-free when they live with the princess they like?"

"Oh, the one he chose was what he wanted! I said, in the past, our life in the house was so smooth, the queen didn't let me worry about the backyard, I think, I should be in line with the queen's wishes, right?"

I've never seen such a shameless dog man! The smile on Empress Gao's face almost couldn't be maintained!

"Your Majesty, the concubines have always been very grateful to their father for marrying back then!"

"Tsk, don't thank the wrong person, the queen, you are the queen I personally asked my father to come, the year of the draft, I was in a group of show girls, and I fell in love with you at a glance! It's like our prince, choose a princess, toss for so long!"

Queen Gao really didn't expect such a show, their draft that year, a lot of family backgrounds, she even looked and talent the most inconspicuous among them.

But she actually went to the end, and she could still be married to Xia Hongdi, and returned to Shu together to be the princess of the domain, she also thought that Xia Hongdi was planning to be her mother's power in Shu.

When he said this, Queen Gao's mind turned and turned, suppressing the churning complex emotions, it was not easy to answer, but she couldn't be cold, and she calmly followed the topic:

"The prince didn't learn from you, the concubines are all embarrassed for those show girls, I guess they didn't expect that choosing a show would be so tiring!"

"Hehe, my son is naturally like me, it's just that, since he chose it himself, then so be it, if the two of them quarrel in the future, I will laugh at him!"

Queen Gao thought a little too much tonight, her thoughts were a little confused, and she was flustered.

was hugged by Xia Hongdi in his arms and didn't notice it, and when he reacted, he had already been occupied by the siege.

In a daze, she was still thinking, is her life going well? Sensing her inattentiveness, she was severely punished again.

Forget it, it's rare to be confused, let's just live like this, otherwise, can you still be separated?

The next day, the show girls graduated and conducted the final round of inspection, Empress Gao and the Queen Mother of the Virgin were present, the biological mother of the third prince and the second princess, Concubine Hui, and the biological mother of the fourth prince, An Concubine, were all in power.

Xia Hongdi spoke, from the crown prince to the fourth prince, they must decide on the candidates for the concubine in this round of the draft, and the draft is too laborious and costly, and it is not easy to operate frequently.

The virtuous concubine who was beaten into the cold palace is not qualified to choose a daughter-in-law, and the rest of the mothers-in-law are not allowed to choose with their eyes open.

Concubine Hui and Concubine An first considered their nieces, and the second considered the daughters of the big families, the two secretly competed with each other and were wary of each other.

After the final talent show of the show girls, ten people were left on the spot, and the rest could leave the palace on the same day.

Le Yu was a little confused, she, she was actually left to the end, and she was left with a sign, just now, she could see that the queen mother actually smiled at her, and her heart was pounding.

Three days later, in Chuxiu Palace, a eunuch came to deliver the decree.

Fengtian transported, the emperor said: I heard Shu

Chengdu Mansion, Fan Changqing's daughter Fan Leyu, skillful and generous, gentle and generous, with outstanding appearance, bowed to hear it very pleasantly. Special general Ru Xu with the crown prince as the crown princess. All the etiquette will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the princess and the princess will choose a good day to complete the marriage. Chin this

Le Yu, who was not very old, held back his excitement in the jealous eyes of the rest of the show girls, and after thanking the emperor, he stuffed a big red envelope into the eunuch. She still can't believe that she has become the crown princess, has she become the glory of the family?

In addition to the crown prince, Xia Hongdi specially gave the second prince Xia An, and chose a daughter of Qingliu as the main concubine.

The third prince, Xia De, is the daughter of a prefect in Lingnan, but this show girl is only eight years old this year.

The fourth princess is from the family of imperial history in the capital, and her father is famous for his uprightness.

Starting from the crown princess, to the last four princesses are all show girls at a young age, and the crown princess is the oldest.

Concubine Hui and Concubine An are not satisfied, they are really biased to the limit. It's a pity that Xia Hongdi didn't care about their opinions at all, he was arbitrary, and they were blind to a fight.

"Le Yu has seen Mrs. Yuan!" After Le Yu left the palace, he went to Yuan's Mansion to pick up his sister, and they were going back to Chengdu Mansion.

"The courtiers have seen the crown princess!" Cuihua is a person who talks about etiquette, although she has not yet married, she is already a quasi-princess, and it is not strange that there are many people.

"Mrs. Yuan, you are so polite, Leyu is very grateful, when I came to Yuan's Mansion for more than a year, with the careful teaching of you and Mama Chun, I have today's Leyu."

"Hehe, this is the credit of the aunts, the princess wants to thank them, thank them for going! The courtiers really don't do much, and they don't dare to take the credit."

Of course, Leyu will not forget a few grandmothers, she gave them a heavy gift, and once again thanked them for their teaching grace back then.

"Husband, we didn't expect it, this Leyu actually came to the end and became the crown princess, fortunately, Mr. Fan didn't make it clear back then, otherwise he would have offended people."

"How can a family do things easily? The rules that were sent to our house back then and learned under the noses of a few grandmothers, Mama Chun came out of the palace of the Queen Mother, and if there was something wrong with a few little girls, it must have been brushed down as early as the first round!"

"You're right, but the main thing is that they weren't very old back then, and they didn't stay in the capital for too long, it's just right, everything is fate!"

After the draft ended, it was the first birthday of the five princes.

The fifth prince Xia En, the little baby who did not hold the third and 100-day banquets, grabbed the weekly banquet, and in such an atmosphere of food shortage in the country, it could only be done on a small scale.

"Our fifth brother is really pitiful, how many gifts have been received!" Princess Jingyao and the prince's brother complained that her royal brother was the youngest baby in the palace and did not receive the attention he deserved.

"Sister, sister!" Princess Jingyao's little tail, she has to look for her sister every day when she opens her eyes, and compared to Queen Gao, her sister is the one she loves the most.

Because of Sister Rare, the five princes of the family caught the Zhou Banquet, and all the things they caught were rare things for girls, and they were all stuffed to Princess Jingyao.

Xia Hongdi: This little son's hobbies are a bit special! I should let him play with the boys more, but don't be a sissy!
