"Thank you for your hard work, Fifth Brother..." Her father is the leader of the Nanrong Kingdom. Is it okay to 'come in person'?
Butler Zhou brought Chang Shan to the Jia'an Palace to reply: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, everything has been put into storage and registered. Here is the gift list."
The Supreme Emperor often rewards many things with a wave of his hand. Butler Zhou is now very skilled at "receiving gifts". You just bring him a treasury, and as long as he has enough people, he can collect it quickly and well.
.
Housekeeper Zhou handed the gift list to the princess with great discernment. Ming Ruo held the thick booklet, which was a heavy father's love.
"Butler Zhou came just in time and arranged a yard for my fifth brother to stay."
"Old slave, go and make arrangements now. It will be ready soon." There was wind at the feet of Butler Zhou. The gifts brought by His Highness King Chun are too rich and must be arranged carefully.
The fifth brother had to take care of himself. Mingruo waved his hand and decided to go to the Fanlou to set up a table first, and then ask the small kitchen to cook some fresh and delicious dishes tomorrow to set up another table.
It was dinner time, and all the private rooms in Fanlou were full. Mingruo and his party arrived at Si Haochen's exclusive private room, and the waiter served tea first.
Mingruo handed the menu to Yan Zhaobai: "Fifth brother, you can order whatever you want, you're welcome."
Yan Zhaobai opened the brocade-gilded menu. The names of the dishes inside were particularly poetic and picturesque, such as 'Round Lotus Floating Leaf', 'Plum Plum', 'Jade Dew Osmanthus Leaves'... If it weren't for the picture next to it, I wouldn't have known what it was.
What kind of dish is this? It's like "Walking in the Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms". Looking at the picture book, it should be a dish of roasted pig's feet with plums. But without this picture, he would not have thought of it.
Yan Zhaobai politely ordered two dishes and gave the menu to Mingruo: "Xiao Jiu'er, please order the rest."
"Okay." Mingruo ordered a few of his favorites, then turned his head and asked Si Haochen, "What do you want to eat?"
"You decide. Anyway, it's not as delicious as Ruo'er's." As the young master of Fanlou, His Royal Highness Prince Yun reduced his own business to this, and also turned on the filter to the point of shocking the world and weeping ghosts and gods.
"Hehe." Mingruo thought she was not thin-skinned, but this praise was still too exaggerated.
The waiter quickly started serving the food, and Yan Zhaobai found that the food in this restaurant was indeed good. Not only did the name of the dish sound good, but the dishes on which it was served were exquisite. The dish was also delicious, tasty, and at least it was reasonably expensive.
Mingruo also likes to eat the dishes cooked by Fanlou's chef, and has positioned it as an exclusive 'date restaurant'.
After dinner, the waiter removed the remaining seats, made tea again, and placed a plate of seasonal fruits.
While eating grapes, Mingruo held up her cheeks and looked at the busy traffic downstairs: "Fifth brother, what gift did your father give to Emperor Donghuan?"
"Well..." Yan Zhaobai thought of the gift that his father asked the Ministry of Industry to get, and said pertinently: "It's a big gift."
"Is it valuable?" Mingruo always felt that Emperor Danxu couldn't be cheap.
Yan Zhaobai shook his head: "It's not worth much money."
"Oh." As long as it's not valuable, Mingruo doesn't care what it is, "There's a night market in the East Market these days, let's go shopping later."
"Donghuan Emperor Capital is quite lively."
"It's to prepare for the emperor's birthday banquet. My shop is overcrowded, and it's almost time for the Chinese New Year." Anyway, I can make money, so Mingruo feels that I can still have it during this Shouning Festival.
"Hey, that's Prince Ping, right?" Yan Zhaobai saw the third prince getting out of a palace car, turned around and helped the woman who got out of the car.
"If you say 'king' instead of 'ba', you and I will be civilized." Mingruo opened his mouth.
"Pfft, cough..." Si Haochen put down the tea cup in his hand. Even the gods couldn't hold back the little princess's "magic touch".
"Hahaha..." Yan Zhaobai was also amused by Xiao Jiuer.
Ming Ruo only felt that the laughter of these two people was too low. He followed Yan Zhaobai's eyes and looked over. The young lady supported by Prince Ping still had her hair combed in the bun of a girl who had not left the palace. She should not be his concubine: "That young lady is
Who is it? He looks pretty good."
"Maybe she is the concubine of Zuo Xiang's family." Si Haochen said thoughtfully.
"If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. How can it still be 'possible'?" Mingruo became even more curious about the woman's identity.
"The report said that he has been courting the concubine of the Prime Minister Zuo recently. I don't recognize the concubine, so I am not sure." Si Haochen looked arrogant. I am such a strict person.
"The prince wants to marry the legitimate daughter of the right prime minister's family as the crown prince, and Prince Ping will marry the concubine of the left prime minister's family as his concubine. He is far behind the crown prince..." Mingruo's little gossip radar started to spin, "
Hey, that’s not right, I seem to remember Ning Ping saying that King Ping has already married two concubines, is this about taking in concubines?"
"On the Moon Festival, a woman drowned in the mansion. It looked like the women in the back house were vying for favor, but behind the scenes there was the handiwork of the third child." Si Haochen said eloquently.
"Is this because she has taken over the position of concubine?" Mingruo's eyes widened, "What did you think when you got married? Isn't this a disaster for people..."
"The concubine's father was suspected of corruption and was dismissed from office." Si Haochen explained.
"I guess that Lord Ping spent a lot of money that he was greedy for. In the end, he burned bridges across rivers. He is really a big scumbag." Ming Ruo had already seen that the third prince was a villain who was running around.
"Ruo'er is so smart." The little girl sees things so clearly. She deserves to be his wife. Si Haochen expressed his satisfaction.
Yan Zhaobai just felt that the amount of dog food had been exceeded tonight, so he should talk about something more serious: "I asked Chang Shan to hand over the greeting card, and I will go to the Duke Jingguo's residence tomorrow to visit Duke Jingguo and the old lady. How about Xiao Jiuer accompanying my brother?"
"Well, okay." Mingruo plans to go to a medicine hall tomorrow. Since the fifth brother invites him, let's continue to let the old apprentice hold the pot.
"Aren't you willing to accompany your brother?" Yan Zhaobai raised his eyebrows.
"I personally am happy to accompany fifth brother, but my apprentice may not be so happy." Mingruo told the truth.
"What does this have to do with him?" Yan Zhaobai was a little confused.
"Ahem, he is waiting hard for the master to come for a consultation." Mingruo spread his hands.
"Then let him wait." Yan Zhaobai immediately agreed. (Old Shen: Who am I provoking? This is...)
The three of them got out of the box and planned to go to the night market. They happened to meet Prince Ping and his daughter, the concubine of Zuo Prime Minister, entering the opposite box.
King Ping was stunned for a moment when he saw Mingruo and the others. When he went to Nanrong to propose marriage, he had contact with Yan Zhaobai. Knowing that he was in charge of Nanrong Navy, he also took the initiative to show his kindness. At that time, Yan Zhaobai treated him politely because he was his future brother-in-law.
add.
The third prince came over to say hello: "Uncle Yun Huang, Aunt Yun Huang, His Royal Highness Prince Chun."
"Yeah." Si Haochen didn't even bother to look at him.
Yan Zhaobai's attitude at this time is rarely consistent with that of Black Sesame Rice Balls.
The young lady from Zuo Xiang's family hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Seeing that Si Haochen had no intention of paying attention, Mingruo raised her hand and said, "No courtesy."
