Chapter 239: Hallowe
After the guy was trained, there were eleven people who were able to pass the probationary period, which was enough.
On the opening day of the milk tea shop, a lot of firecrackers were set off, and Gu Xia disguised himself as a man to go to the scene. Otherwise, her current status as a princess is not suitable for showing her head.
Gu Xia also did not announce to the public that the milk tea shop was opened by Princess Chaoyang, and the milk tea shop was the only one in the capital. Gu Xia didn't worry about the guests.
If those harem concubines and the wives of the palace ministers knew that this was her shop, they would inevitably not come to give gifts.
Gu Xia didn't want to accept their gifts, and the milk tea shop was still called Suiyuan. There will be a tasting event on the first day of opening. There were quite a few people at the door.
A month later, the reputation of the milk tea shop spread all over the capital, and it was not only the people of the capital who came to buy desserts or something. The ministers and nobles in Beijing also asked their subordinates to line up to buy desserts and milk tea.
In February, it was still very cold in the capital, the ice and snow had not melted, and the hot milk tea was sold quickly, and it was warm in the stomach.
Some of the nobles in Beijing will also have a small gathering in the private room on the third floor of the milk tea shop, drinking milk tea and eating desserts, talking about the boudoir, not to mention how comfortable.
Many of the nobles in Beijing have set up VIP cards for milk tea shops in the capital. But they didn't know that the owner behind the shop was Gu Xia.
At the beginning of March, the temperature in the capital gradually warmed up, and the ice and snow would melt at noon, but it was still quite cold in the morning and evening, and you had to wear a jacket when you went out.
The queen's belly has also been three months, and the former and harem all know that the queen is pregnant.
The queen was not jealous of the harem concubines, but became the group pet of the harem, focusing on the object of protection.
Some of the harem concubines who know how to cook will personally cook nutritious soup to feed the queen, according to the palace process, the queen must use a silver needle to test for poison before eating. It is also necessary for the palace maid to try the non-toxic before the queen can eat.
Gu Xia went to the palace to visit the queen, and brought her milk tea, as well as various desserts, cookies, bread, strawberry mousse cake and so on.
The queen has a good appetite, and when she saw the dessert that Gu Xia brought, her eyes lit up.
Gu Xia brought a total of more than 20 cups of milk tea, and called the concubines who had made friends in the harem to come over to the queen for a small gathering.
A cup of milk tea per person, all kinds of desserts to eat.
"It's delicious, it's still my favorite strawberry flavor, and this little cake is delicious. The taste is unique, where did the princess buy it? Concubine Yun asked.
The harem concubines are not allowed to leave the palace without the emperor's will, so they naturally don't know about the messy milk tea shop in the capital.
"I know that before the princess entered the palace, she deliberately went to the milk tea shop called Suiyuan in the capital and bought so much milk tea for us. The princess is so good. An Concubine rushed back. She was young and just young. The temperament is jumpy, and there are not so many hearts.
The reason why An Concubine knew about the milk tea shop was because her maiden cousin came to the palace to see her and brought it to her.
Since that time, An Concubine has been thinking about milk tea. Isn't this a blessing today?
"Since everyone likes to drink milk tea, I'll bring it to you next time I enter the palace." Gu Xia said.
These concubines treat her well, and they will give her a copy of the good things they collect, but it's just a few cups of milk tea.
Gu Xia and the concubines get along well, everyone is comfortable together, and they all call me casual.
"The birthday of the Holy One is coming, and this is the first birthday banquet held in the court since the Holy One ascended the throne. What's a good idea for Chaoyang? Ning Ru looked at Gu Xia and said that pregnant people would become stupid, she really had an empty head.
"Why don't the imperial sister-in-law take the lead and sing happy birthday songs to the queen together. Make an oversized birthday cake for the queen and light the candles. The royal brother will be very happy. Gu Xia casually had an idea.
The concubines didn't know what a birthday cake was, but they thought she had a good idea. The emperor doesn't have any good things, so it's better to send something different than to give something valuable.
"Chaoyang, what's a birthday cake?" Ning Ru asked curiously.
Gu Xia explained it to the concubines, and everyone unanimously approved it, and they all thought it was a good idea.
Gu Xia wrote the lyrics of the Happy Birthday song, and each concubine copied a copy.
Right now, Gu Xia can sing happy birthday songs, and Gu Xia took the concubines to sing it a few times. This song is not difficult, everyone will practice it a few times. Just go back and practice more.
After the emperor came to the queen's dormitory, "The morning sun is coming, the concubines are also there, and the queen's bedroom is very lively." ”
Except for the queen who is pregnant with a child, and Gu Xia does not need to salute, the other concubines want to salute when they see the emperor.
The concubines are also self-aware, and the emperor obviously came to visit the pregnant queen. They couldn't stay, so they all said goodbye to the emperor and left.
The concubines also know that in this harem, the emperor always treats the queen differently.
"The popularity of the imperial sister is good, and the concubines in my harem all like the imperial sister. As soon as I came back, they ran away one by one. Chu Hao complained.
"That's because the imperial brother is too majestic, even if he goes down to the court, the imperial brother is holding the emperor's shelf. No wonder your women are in awe of you. Gu Xia ruthlessly pierced.
The queen snickered softly on the side, and Chaoyang dared to say this, even she, the queen, did not dare to find fault with the emperor.
Chu Hao's favorite thing is the only sister right now, and he is not angry at all. "Well, I'll reflect. Will the queen be afraid of me too? ”
Ning Ru and the emperor looked at each other, the emperor's eyes that could see through people's hearts, she said in her heart for a while, "The emperor is the husband of the concubine, the concubine is not afraid of the emperor, and the concubine loves the emperor and worships the emperor." ”
Chu Hao could see Ning Ru's sincerity, and he was still pleased. That's why he's special to the Queen. They were married and had met as children.
"I won't stay as a light bulb, let's go, and I'll see you when my brother and sister-in-law come back." Gu Xia saw the affectionate eyes of the couple, and it seemed that the next moment the two of them were going to hug each other and complain to each other.
She has eaten all the dog food, so she still slips away first.
Chu Hao looked at the back of Gu Xia trotting away with his skirt, and smiled helplessly.
"I still have something to say to the imperial sister, and she just ran away. It's rare for me to catch her in the palace. ”
Ning Ru knew that the emperor favored the princess, and the princess was a likable, and even one of her hearts was captured by the princess.
She is not jealous of the emperor's love for the princess more than her, and she will spoil the princess with the emperor.
Time flies so fast, and within a few days it will be the emperor's birthday banquet, and the harem concubines, civil and military officials have participated.
"Congratulations on the emperor's happy birthday." The Manchu Dynasty civil and military made a big bow and knelt down to worship the emperor, chanting in unison.
All the officials sent the treasures they had collected from all over the world to the emperor as a birthday gift.
The emperor received the gift softly.
