Time has come to the tenth day of the ninth month, the day of the queen Xiao Lu's birthday.

The birthday gift of Zhenbei Wangfu is still sent to the palace by a special person, and Yu Zizhen, who needs to attend the banquet, is very curious, and sent two large baskets of melons, fruits and vegetables she planted by herself to Xiao Lu's family.

The basket containing fruits and vegetables was specially compiled by her old craftsmen, although it was large but very exquisite, and the fruits and vegetables in the basket were also selected by her, and she even put them in a good-looking shape.

However, no matter how beautiful the vegetable basket and fruit basket are, it is still a vegetable basket and fruit basket, isn't it?

Yu Zizhen gained strange eyes all the way, and when she arrived at the Jiaxiang Palace where the palace banquet was held, the officials, nobles and their respective families who had been seated in the palace one after another, and because of the two baskets of melons, fruits and vegetables, they almost stared out their eyes.

Fang Huaiying, who came in with Yu Zizhen, was uncomfortable, but Yu Zizhen, who was stared at, seemed to be unaware of those scorching sights.

She sent the two baskets of melons, fruits and vegetables to the queen Xiao Lu, "Queen Mother, this is the melons, fruits and vegetables planted by Weichen himself, I will give you some to try." ”

The corners of Xiao Lu's mouth twitched, and she almost didn't maintain her mother's graceful demeanor.

After silently reciting "This is the prince of Zhenbei" several times in his heart, Xiao Lu barely pulled out a smile.

"I accept your wishes."

Yu Zizhen heard the reluctance and perfunctory in her tone, she picked up a large watermelon, and motioned to Xiao Lu to look at the faint wishful cloud pattern on it.

Then in Xiao Lu's stunned eyes, she picked up a big gourd with the vague words "longevity" and "joy" on it.

"It's the first time Weichen has tried it, and he has put a lot of thought into it, but he can only do it to this extent, don't dislike it, the queen."

Xiao Lu still remembered her dissatisfaction with these two baskets of melons, fruits and vegetables before, she touched the gourd and smiled, and pointed to the big watermelon and asked Yu Zizhen, "What is this?" How has Hongu never seen it before? ”

"It's watermelon. By chance, Weichen bought seeds from a merchant in the Western Regions and tried to plant them in the palace. ”

As soon as she said this, she had already laughed at Yu Zizhen for not doing her job, and the dignified princes and courtiers who were actually farming in the palace suddenly couldn't help but feel empty.

People are not doing their jobs, they have already planted crops that Daqi didn't have before!

To put it mildly, this is a great achievement that is in the present and beneficial in the future!

There is also a faint wishful cloud pattern on it, as well as the words "longevity" and "joy" on the big gourd, how did this come about?

Those who are politically minded directly thought of using this to make auspicious or warn from heaven and the like.

Those who are business-minded have the idea of making a lot of money with this.

For a while, everyone's eyes looking at Yu Zizhen became hot.

Even Xiao Lu, who is the queen, asked Yu Zizhen half-jokingly and half-seriously, "The prince is so ingenious, but I don't know how to get the lines and words on it?" ”

Although she is not short of money, who would dislike having more money.

Especially her maiden family, the Lu family, has a big business, but the foundation is shallow, except for the main branch because of the relationship between the Lu family, which has been very nourishing over the years, and the side branches are also living a careful life.

As for the use of politics, Xiao Lu really doesn't have that brain, if no one reminds her, she can't think of that aspect.

"This is Weichen's little secret, can't you tell anyone else." Yu Zizhen smiled and stuffed the things she took out back into the basket, "Weichen is still counting on it to make some private money." ”

Xiao Lu secretly pursed his lips, and said in his heart that this Yu Zizhen was still as unlikable as ever.

Yu Zizhen didn't care what she thought, anyway, the gift she gave was ingenious and very capable, even if she was picky, she couldn't say that the gift she gave was suitable or not, it was enough for her.

After giving the gift, Yu Zizhen stepped aside as usual and sat down in his seat.

Xiao Yuanjin, who admired Yu Zizhen's performance very much, raised a glass to her, and the second prince and the eldest princess looked at the high-spirited Yu Zizhen with envy.

Although they are young, but the long-term court life has made them already familiar with the world, yes, they also prepared birthday gifts for Xiao Lu's family with their hearts, but they are not only young, but even the money is extremely nervous, no matter how hard they work, the gifts they prepare still can't avoid being disliked by Xiao Lu's family.

Xiao Lu doesn't care whether they are living in poverty or not, whether they have done their best for her birthday gift, she only cares if the things given by the other party are what she likes and needs.

The two children were once again unabashedly disgusted by Xiao Lu's family, and before Yu Zizhen came in, they were sitting in their places, lowering their heads and silently digesting the mental damage that Xiao Lu had just given them.

Seeing Yu Zizhen go from being despised to being praised, the two children couldn't help but have a strong desire to "it would be nice if I could do this".

Noticing the inferiority complex and longing gaze they quietly looked at, Yu Zizhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Xiao Lu's was really evil.

She smiled amicably at the two of them, and then took her cup to Xiao Yuanjin.

Xiao Yuanjin smiled and poured her a cup of hot tea, "Why did you come here?" ”

At this point in time when Yu Zizhen came, the only people who didn't come were her and Fang Huaiying, who helped her carry the basket, and His Majesty the Emperor, who had a higher status than Xiao Lu's on the surface.

As for the Queen Mother, she will not attend the birthday banquet of the Little Lu family.

Yu Zizhen smiled and watched Fang Huaiying finish delivering the gift, and then beckoned him to sit at Xiao Yuanjin's table as well.

Fang Huaiying's gift is very decent, it is a lyre that he personally selected, although it is not a world-famous instrument, but it is also a famous contemporary luthier craftsman, and it took a long time to produce a proud work.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yu Zizhen took the initiative to hold the pot and poured a cup of tea for Fang Huaiying, this honest child carried a lyre on his back, but he still had to help her share a big basket, and he was so tired that a little sweat was already on his forehead.

Fang Huaiying smiled shyly, "It's okay." ”

He is different from Fan Zhongming and Chen Hushan, who he has a good relationship with, that is, he really has a good relationship, usually he can get together with the eldest prince and Yu Zizhen without suspicion, and now he sees Yu Zizhen with a big basket in one hand outside the palace, of course he has to help his friends share one or two.

Yu Zizhen likes his sincerity, you must know that in addition to Yang Shixian, a staunch royalist, she usually has a lot of contacts, and only Fang Huaiying is willing to interact with her frequently.
