Others don’t know what happened, but Mu Mingyuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and with some of his own sources, he found out that the person behind this matter was actually Zhongshu Ling Mingshuo.
Mingshuo has only just passed the weak crown, but he behaves in such a sophisticated way, which makes Mu Mingyuan feel like the waves behind him push the waves ahead.
Mingshuo was born in the prime minister's family, and he was the first in both palace examinations. Prime Minister Ming supported the eldest prince, and it was a normal political struggle to win over Gui Yuping, who had secretly taken refuge with the fourth prince.
However, only Mingshuo himself knows.
If the Gui family's daughter dares to scheme against Ming Qinxue, then he doesn't have to stay in the capital.
The next day, Mu Qingyu thought of her promise to Chu Jingxian and asked the kitchen to buy more ingredients.
Lao Li from the kitchen hasn't come back yet, but Mu Zhai has received an uninvited guest.
This time it’s Liang Zhongxing.
This is his first time to visit Mu's house.
For Prince Liang's Mansion, Mu's House is indeed very small. It only has a courtyard with two entrances and a small garden. Although there is a small pavilion and a small lotus pond in the garden, that's all. It's not as good as Prince Liang's Mansion.
The main courtyard is big.
However, for a woman like Mu Qingyu, having such a big house is enough.
Although Mu Qingyu didn't want to see Chu Xinyuan, Liang Zhongxing handed over the greeting card in a polite manner and waited outside, being very polite. She had little contact with Liang Zhongxing, but as the housekeeper of Prince Liang's Mansion, she could do anything.
After climbing to the Three Treasures Hall, she decided to meet him.
Because Liang Zhongxing had not yet figured out what his master meant, he was still polite to Mu Qingyu. He held a small box and said in a respectful tone: "Miss Mu left Prince Liang's Mansion and forgot to take something. I will just take inventory in the next two days.
I found it, so I specially sent it to Miss Mu!"
Mu Qingyu couldn't remember anything else left in Prince Liang's Mansion.
When she moved out, she moved out all her own things, but she didn't take even a single needle or thread from Prince Liang's house.
Her things are very neat and orderly. There is almost nothing in Zhumiao Courtyard. The Mu family’s dowry looks like there are many boxes and cages, but they are all worthless.
On the other hand, Chu Xinyuan asked Pei Yi's dowry to be returned from the Mu Mansion and put it in a special place and moved it directly.
She took it doubtfully, opened it, and saw three deeds inside. After flipping through it, she suddenly remembered it and said, "Thank you, Butler Liang, for the trip!"
Liang Zhongxing pointed to the bottom of the box and said: "At first, Miss Mu had some entrustment, but I was busy with secular affairs and could not help her. However, I have found out the reasons for the decline of these three industries! If Miss Mu is fine, I will
I’ll take my leave first!”
"Thank you!" Mu Qingyu said: "Qinglu, help me see off the guests!"
Qinglu studied hard with Ming'er and has become very proficient in these things.
Liang Zhongxing originally just sent things, so naturally he had no intention of staying for a long time.
Mu Qingyu was going to make a few dishes and snacks, but it tasted much better to eat them once they were done, so while she was preparing to do it, she asked Qinglu to invite Chu Jingxian!
The place we go to is, as usual, Xinghefang.
Chu Jingxian is not here, but he is in the Chu Prince's Mansion for the rare occasion.
The Prince of Chu's Mansion was closer to Mu's house than Xinghefang, and it happened to be in the middle. Qinglu handed the letter to it and returned.
Mu Qingyu made four dishes and four snacks.
Grilled deer breast, five-spice smoked fish, Dongpo pork with abalone sauce, and roasted bones with sauce.
Lotus cake, horseshoe cake, dragon beard cake, rose cake.
The dishes can be eaten hot, and the pastries are edible directly.
Chu Jingxian arrived very quickly. When he arrived, Mu Qingyu had just finished making the last lotus cake.
Lotus cake is not made of lotus, but its appearance is similar to that of lotus, with clear layers and as thin as wings, just like a budding lotus, delicate and beautiful.
Chu Jingxian couldn't help but took one with his hand and put it in his mouth.
Then, he said inarticulately: "Xi Meng froze to death? How many times!"
Mu Qingyu said with a smile: "If it's delicious, eat two more pieces!"
In addition to what Chu Jingxian took away, she also made some for everyone to share.
Chu Jingxian couldn't stop eating, and finally left with a big food box.
What’s funny is that while the roasted deer breast was being cooked, Chu Jingxian was eating it with his hands. It was about two plates of roasted deer breast. He would have eaten it all by himself, if he hadn’t thought about giving it to his mother and concubine.
If you bring it, he will eat it all accidentally.
It’s so delicious.
Bring such delicious food to your mother and concubine as soon as possible!
He kept going straight to the palace.
Originally, it was not easy to bring food into the palace, but Chu Jingxian's status was very special. Not only did this dandy prince bring food into the palace, he even brought things out of the imperial kitchen. The emperor didn't care, so who dared to say anything?
In Zhaoqing Palace, when they heard that Chu Jingxian was coming, Concubine De came to the door to greet her and said with a smile: "I'm here as soon as I come. What else do you bring with you? Such a big box?"
Chu Jingxian offered the treasure and said as if it were true: "Mother, concubine, this is a good thing!"
He put the food box on the table and opened the lid. The first thing that caught his eye were the pastries. The lotus cake had distinct layers and was in bud; the water chestnut cake was crystal clear and full of elasticity; the roots of the dragon beard cake were as white as jade and as thin as silver threads;
The cake is fragrant, exquisite and tempting.
Concubine De smiled and said, "Could it be that I went to that Feiyu House again and bought some pastries for my mother and concubine?"
Chu Jingxian smiled and said: "This is not from Feiyulou, but it is better than the one from Feiyulou!"
Concubine De was funny: "If you can be so highly praised by Xian'er, then it must be good."
She stretched out her hand to pick up a piece. The maid next to her hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't..."
Concubine De, mother and son both looked over.
The eldest palace maid said: "Your Majesty has a body of a thousand pieces of gold, so things outside the palace still need to be tried on a routine basis!"
Chu Jingxian said calmly: "Then try it!"
Concubine De had already picked up a piece and said: "No need, my prince brought it. Is there anything wrong with it?"
As she spoke, she put the piece of lotus cake into her mouth.
The eldest maid was anxious, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Concubine De had already praised: "It's really delicious!" She smiled and said: "Although the imperial chef is famous, there are so many delicacies in the world, and the imperial kitchen can't cover them all. Last time the emperor brought the food from Feiyulou
The pastries are already very good, but this one is even more delicious. Your Majesty, you are so thoughtful!"
Chu Jingxian was even happier than he was being praised. He said with flying eyes: "Mother, I asked a friend to cook this. Do you still remember? Last time, I said that I had a friend who made delicious food!"
He opened the food boxes layer by layer, and grilled deer breast, smoked fish with five spices, Dongpo pork with abalone sauce, and roasted bones with soy sauce all appeared in front of him.
These are all meat dishes, and they are a little cold.
But even if it's cold, the color and appearance are still appetizing.
Chu Jingxian asked someone to take it out, steam it, heat it up and bring it up. The eldest palace maid hesitated and said, "Things from outside the palace are unavoidable...Besides, these are all meaty things. It is not advisable for the queen to eat too much!"
