There are also things on the market, but the taste is slightly better, and it is not irreplaceable, Xie Yixiao is not distressed, she has also given this recipe to the Changning Hou Mansion and the Xie family.

Lord Zhaorou was pleasantly surprised: "What you said is true?" If you say it, you can't go back. ”

"Since I opened my mouth, I naturally won't regret it, but I also said it in advance, you can't give this recipe to others, you can only use it yourself, if you want to open a teahouse to sell these, you can do it, but not in the imperial city."

If she goes back to Xiliang, she can ask someone to open a small shop to sell tea and peach blossom wine.

In fact, what the county lord of Zhaorou wants most is those fat powder balm recipes, but people just don't let go, even if she is willing to buy it with a lot of money, the other party is not willing, this tea is of little use to her, but she can also make some when she is herself, and it is better than nothing.

"Then I really thank Mrs. Rong Jiu, if you can give me a balm recipe, I will be even happier, if you have an idea, just tell me, if you have any requirements, just ask."

Xie Yixiao was not ambiguous about this at all: "Which kind of fat powder balm do you want, I will ask someone to give it to you cheaply, or it doesn't hurt to give you a set, you really don't want to think about it, it's useless to think about it." ”

The county lord of Zhaorou had no choice but to give up with regret.

Xie Yixiao kindly reminded her again: "I'm afraid it's not easy for you to marry King Huainan, maybe you have to go back to Xiliang, it's better not to offend your two royal brothers too much." ”

"Got it, got it."

The carriage drove all the way to the palace, and several people led the envoys of various countries into the Taiji Hall to meet His Majesty, congratulating His Majesty on his long life, and then all countries offered birthday gifts one by one.

Everyone noticed that Princess Zhelan, the envoy of the Xiyue Kingdom, did not arrive today, and they had some doubts in their hearts, but seeing that His Majesty did not ask, no one raised it.

When the pilgrimage was over, the time was almost noon, and the group turned to Qinghua Palace, the main hall where the birthday banquet was held.

His Majesty led a hundred officials to come, and everyone knelt down to pay respects, shouting long live, and then sat down one after another.

His Majesty said a few words, about wishing the country and the people peace, and then invited everyone to have a drink, and after this cup was drunk, and then sat down, there were drums sounding, the sound of silk and bamboo matched, and the song and dance performances arranged early in the palace began to be staged in turn.

His Majesty sat in the right seat, and there were two tables on each side, with the virtuous concubine and the lady each occupying one side, leaving a path in the middle of the first few steps, and two rows of seats on each side.

The first on the lower right is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, followed by Li Youguang, Li Xuguang and the Lord of Yonghe, opposite is King An and his wife, and the position behind is also King An's children.

Down are King Ning and King Huainan, Xie Yixiao glanced at it, King Huainan only came with Concubine Shen today, and did not bring Gu You, seeing that this master who was causing trouble everywhere was not there, Xie Yixiao was greatly relieved.

Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao sat in the third position on the lower left, opposite the King of Huaijiang, and when they were finished, they went to the bottom of the main hall, and arranged the positions in order according to the official positions.

Everyone in the hall was talking and watching the performance, and the food prepared by the imperial dining room was brought up one by one, and each of these foods could be said to be fantastic.

Qiankun soup is just ordinary dishes among them, such as longevity without borders, bamboo forest Ruilu, ancient wood rejuvenation, splendid mountains and rivers, hibiscus crab soup, etc., there are enough eighteen dishes, all of which are famous and delicious.

Xie Yixiao listened to the people in this hall talking and toasting while eating, but he didn't have the heart to watch the performance, there were no accidents, everything went smoothly.

Halfway, the crown princess called Xie Yixiao to go out, the two went to relieve their hands, and after coming out, they also washed their hands and incense in a palace, and the princess asked her about Princess Zhelan.

Xie Yixiao hesitated and looked around.

The crown princess said: "Don't worry, except for the two people you brought, they are all my people." ”

There is no queen in the palace, and several concubines are pressed again, although the crown princess in the palace does not say that she can completely control it, but the place where she is is still safe.

Xie Yixiao thought about it, and then told the story of Princess Zhelan, and then also said the news he got from the county lord of Zhaorou, and the princess's face became very strange after hearing it.

She originally thought that Princess Zhelan and King Ning were mixed together, and this child could never be kept, although it was said that King Ning really couldn't do it now, but the crown princess didn't want Queen Ning Xiyue to be a helper.

It's just that I didn't expect this Princess Zhelan to be really bold, and she dared to have a relationship with King Ning and King An.

Listening to Xie Yixiao's guess, the crown princess's face was not very good: "If Princess Zhelan really wants to go back to Xiyue Kingdom to be her queen, then this child may be able to stay." ”

"The main thing is that this child is not innocent, maybe it is King Ning or King An, in this situation, it is better to be innocent than someone."

If this child is King Ning's, it is Princess Zhelan who wants to go back to Xiyue and bring the child back, His Majesty, the prince and his wife cannot tolerate the existence of this child, and they are really afraid that one day King Ning will be bold and rebel with the help of Xiyue.

It is not clear or not, it can be determined that it is the child of the Dongming royal family, but it is not confirmed whether it is King An or King Ning, which also cuts off the possibility that Xiyue will help King Ning or King An in turn.

The crown princess thought for a long time, and then said: "But I think it's better not to keep this child, Princess Zhelan has calculated a lot, but it's too messy, maybe this child is the bane." ”

"Besides, we Dongming don't have any ideas about Xiyue Kingdom, so don't get involved in other people's affairs, Princess Zhelan wants to be the queen, let her toss it herself."

The two sat for a while and returned to Qinghua Palace.

As soon as Xie Yixiao sat down, Rong Ci shook her hand, under the wide sleeves, the hands of the two were clasped together, Xie Yixiao pulled it, but it didn't pull it out.

She glared at him before he let go, and then filled her with half a cup of tea: "Why did you go so long?" ”

For a long time, he was a little worried about what was going on, and wanted to go out to find her.

"I drank tea with the crown princess and said a few words, there's nothing going on here, right?"

"All the best."

Today is His Majesty's 60th birthday, and the crown prince and the crown princess attach great importance to it.

"Rong Jiu Gongzi, Nine Young Lady."

Someone shouted, and the two looked up, but saw a young man leading a slightly older young man over.

"Si Shizi." It is the prince of Jingyang Hou.

Jingyang Hou Shizi smiled, and then introduced the people around him: "This is my brother Si Yunlang." ”
