When Yan Xingxuan heard that Sister-in-law Wang was also there, he silently sympathized with Brother Wang in his heart. However, soon, he was attracted by the various delicacies and small things in the Queen Mother's Palace, and he no longer cared about Brother Kang. p>
It was already afternoon when Yan Xingxuan entered the palace.
The Queen Mother was getting ready to take a nap when he came.
After saying a few words to him, the Queen Mother went directly to take a lunch break.
The Queen Mother was not there, and neither was Princess Kang. Yan Changxia was more relaxed. She asked Yan Xingxuan in a low voice: "Did you quietly go find your sister?"
Hearing her question, Yan Xingxuan raised his eyebrows: "I didn't do it quietly, I did it openly."
Upon hearing that Yan Xingxuan had indeed gone, Yan Changxia pinched her waist angrily: "Ah, why didn't you take me with you?"
Yan Xingxuan said confidently: "Sister-in-law Wang won't let me."
"Then please give me some advice, aren't you Uncle Wang?"
"What's wrong with Uncle Wang? I'm also the youngest, Uncle Wang. How can I have the nerve to persuade my sister-in-law?"
"If you say anything, I will definitely eat the food cooked by my sister for two days."
"That's not a big deal, just think about it and make a meal."
……
The uncle and nephew quietly quarreled.
Aunt Ning in the Queen Mother's Palace stood not far away. After listening for a while, she couldn't help but lower her head and smiled silently.
Soon, she quietly retreated out without disturbing her uncle and nephew.
In the Queen Mother's bedroom, she is not asleep yet. She is just leaning on the bedside, closing her eyes and concentrating.
Hearing the footsteps, he looked up and realized it was Aunt Ning. He smiled and asked, "Are they arguing again?"
Aunt Ning smiled and nodded: "Your Highness still gives way to the princess."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother shook her head helplessly: "No matter what, Xiao Liu is also Wang's uncle, so he can't give way to a junior. How can he really care about him like a junior?"
After finishing speaking, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you mention the little girl over there at the academy?"
Aunt Ning nodded: "I mentioned a few words."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother became convinced. The Queen Mother had already investigated Xiao Nianzhi's information.
She raised Yan Xingxuan as her own son, and when there were people close to her younger son, she naturally investigated them early to know that the details were innocent, so that she could feel at ease.
In addition, Xiao Nianzhi is Aunt Yu's apprentice, so she also believes in his vision and is very relieved about the closeness between Yan Xingxuan and Xiao Nianzhi.
Now when she heard her uncle and nephew mentioned Xiao Nianzhi again, the Queen Mother smiled and shook her head: "I am afraid that Xiao Liu will be in trouble this time. In the past, I was not willing to share a mouthful of food with others. Look,
If he is like this now, he will probably be like his brother Kang Wang in the future. He has to look at his wife's face before he can eat."
Aunt Ning listened, nodded and smiled: "That's why your highnesses have good tempers."
In response, the Queen Mother shook her head again: "Which of them has a good temper? They just fell into the pit willingly."
After finishing speaking, there was another burst of sadness: "It would be a good thing if Xiaoliu and that little girl can really make it happen. Xiaoliu likes food, and the little girl has good cooking skills. The little girl has no close relatives to rely on.
, Xiaoliu’s status can protect her from worries for the rest of her life, so that’s fine, I can take care of my worries.”
Yaozi has someone with her, so even if she is gone at this moment, she can still close her eyes with peace of mind.
As for future disputes and so on...
Then she has closed her eyes, does she care about this?
From now on underground, no matter who cares, she doesn't care anyway.
After fighting for most of her life and worrying about her for most of her life, you still won't let her rest in peace after she dies?
Ugh!
Let the late emperor take charge, wouldn't he be able to control fire and cause trouble?
Thinking of the late Emperor, the Queen Mother secretly rolled her eyes, cursed in her heart: bad luck, and then closed her eyes and took a nap.
Seeing this, Aunt Ning quietly retreated and stood guard at the door.
After Yan Xingxuan chatted with Yan Changxia, he encouraged Yan Changxia to go out with him.
Without him, there are so many empresses in the harem, and each empress can collect a lot of money by picking up a few from each empress.
In the past, Yan Xingxuan thought that he could just eat and drink without worrying about food, but if he couldn't, he would go to the emperor's brother.
But now, he has a little thought and plans to save a small treasury.
Save money and marry a princess!
There is so much wool in the harem, it would be rude not to collect it.
Although Yan Changxia doesn't understand much, Uncle Wang takes her out to play.
Go!
The uncle and nephew were not just running amok, Yan Xingxuan arranged the route, and Yan Changxia was a brainless little pioneer, so the two of them rushed forward with a plan.
The first stop for the two of them was Sun Taibin’s palace.
The only ally left alive in the Queen Mother's team is the concubine Sun.
There are some other concubines alive, but they are just living a low-key life in the harem. After Yan Xingxuan thought about it, he felt that they had little to gain, so he let them go.
But Concubine Sun definitely has it, so go to her first.
While the uncle and nephew were gathering wool in a walking style in the harem, Xiao Nianzhi was pressing tofu.
As evening approaches, the tofu can be pressed out but still needs to be shaped, and the preserved eggs also need to be processed.
Seeing her appear in the cafeteria, all the students felt very relieved.
"Is Miss Xiao preparing a midnight snack in advance?"
"That's for sure, it looks like tofu."
“The tofu with sauce before was really good.”
"Are you going to eat this this time too? It doesn't look like it, it looks more tender."
"I don't think so. Didn't we already have tofu in the evening?"
……
The students couldn't help but be curious when they saw Xiao Nianzhi's actions.
Zhang Huaiyuan now hides his previous thoughts tightly, and even Zhao Yunfeng, who has a good relationship with him, refuses to say a word.
After he finished preparing the meal, he sat down and asked Zhao Yunfeng in a low voice: "I heard that your second brother has returned to Xizhou?"
Xizhou is the ancestral home of the Zhao family, and the ancestral tombs are all there. Today, there are still many side clan members there.
Mr. Zhao does not often go back to visit his relatives. However, Mr. Zhao is stationed in the southwest and is closer to Xizhou. When there is no war, he will request an order to go back to visit his relatives.
However, the people of the Zhao clan in Xizhou may not be so welcoming to Mr. Zhao, the god of death, right?
As soon as Zhao Yunfeng sat down, he heard Zhang Huaiyuan ask this. He raised his eyebrows and said in an incomprehensible tone: "You are quite well informed."
In response, Zhang Huaiyuan smiled proudly: "Yes, yes, I heard it from Lou's aunt."
Mrs. Lou is the clan sister of Mr. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhao is the sister-in-law of Mr. Lou. The relationship between these families is already cyclical, and their interests are all tied together in the same boat.
If there is any news, we must inform each other.
Zhang Huaiyuan sometimes likes to listen to the excitement, so after listening to it, he naturally wanted to ask Zhao Yunfeng.
Zhao Yunfeng really didn't like the careless second brother, so he just nodded: "His previous behavior was too conspicuous, so it would be good to go back to his hometown in Xizhou."
On the surface, it is said that he is returning to his hometown to visit relatives, but in fact, he is being exiled back to his hometown to let the tribesmen in his hometown look at this guy. Don't be stupid and don't cause trouble for them.
While the two of them were whispering, Xiao Nianzhi was cutting tofu.
Under normal circumstances, preserved egg tofu is actually very easy to make.
Shape the tofu, slice it, then pour the tofu on top and make the sauce.
However, Xiao Nianzhi wanted to do something different.
After all, the academy is full of scholars, so let’s also engage in literature and art.
