After the two of them had some snacks in the Queen Mother's Palace, they left and returned to the Qinglan Palace.
Most of the soaps that Xiao Nianwei brought into the palace have been sent to Qinglan Palace.
The two of you can send it to whose palace it is, come back and pick it up, and then go over there.
After seeing the Queen Mother off, the two of them went to the Queen's Palace again.
The queen heard the news early in the morning and was originally guessing whether the two people would come over.
Every time Xiao Nianzhi entered the palace, he would greet the Queen Mother and the Queen. So when the Queen heard that someone had entered the palace and went to the Queen Mother's Palace, she put aside other matters and waited in the palace with peace of mind.
The Song family fell, the third prince died, and the seventh prince was deposed.
All the roadblocks blocking the prince's accession to the throne were cleared.
Although there was a favored Concubine Rong in the harem, Concubine Rong was originally a chess piece used to check and balance the Song family. The other party only wanted to compete for favor, not the throne.
Therefore, the queen did not regard her as a rival at all.
Now the Queen can be said to be feeling very proud and in a very good mood.
However, if His Majesty is in a bad mood, the Queen needs to control it.
Moreover, the more times like this, the more stable you must be, otherwise you will make His Majesty angry, and maybe what will happen to you.
Not only was the queen cautious, the prince was also paying extra attention to everything at this time.
The court officials' opinions on how to deal with the seventh prince were that he should be executed directly at first.
After all, who can tolerate rebellion?
But the prince pushed him slightly in the middle, and he did not stand up. He said very calmly: Ah, they are all brothers, so the crime will not lead to death.
He just asked officials from his own faction to slightly express different opinions.
The prince could see that after the death of the third prince, although his father hated the seventh prince for rebelling, he did not want to kill him directly.
Therefore, he asked the officials to say that they could take a step back and decide whether he should be a prince or be imprisoned.
The prince did not come forward, but officials from his faction did. Wouldn't His Majesty know?
The court is under His Majesty's control, and everyone has a clear mind.
But the prince took a step back and expressed his sincerity, understanding his father and forgiving his brother, which would make His Majesty, who is now angry, feel relieved and comfortable.
Therefore, the impression of the prince will naturally be better.
Originally, His Majesty had nothing to say about this heir.
Otherwise, given his partial favor for concubines over the years, the third prince might have ascended the throne soon.
But, no.
Your Majesty dotes on the concubine, but he also knows rationally that the third prince and the seventh prince are both incompetent. If he really pushes someone up, the country of Jin Dynasty may eventually be destroyed in the hands of their father and son.
Therefore, you can pamper, but you cannot live!
Now that the prince is acting this way, your majesty feels comfortable. There is a shortage of officials this time, and the prince's group has many high-ranking people, so your majesty just turns a blind eye and lets him go.
If your children perform well, you must give them some benefits.
Then let the cows do the work of milking, and they must be given some grass to eat.
Your Majesty still understands this truth.
The queen was in a good mood, but she didn't show off.
In addition to strengthening the management of the harem and clearing hidden piles, the queen stayed in her own palace at other times and rarely went out.
I heard that Xiao Nianzhi and the others didn't have lunch, so they even had some desserts prepared.
Princess Zhao's ancestral home is in the southwest, so she can make a lot of desserts and snacks.
After the Queen heard the news, she sent someone to the Crown Princess to hire two palace servants who could do the work, and they worked for a while.
When Xiao Nianzhi came over, the flower cakes made by the two palace servants had just come out of the pan and were still warm.
The roasted milk fan on the other side is also just right, and you can still hear the crispy sound when placed on the plate.
In addition to these two snacks, there are also walnut cakes and Taishi cakes prepared by the queen's palace servants.
In fact, Taishi cake is also a specialty pastry from the southwest, but it was introduced to the capital relatively early.
Anyway, the queen was already eating this snack when she was young.
When Xiao Nianzhi came over, he smelled the strong fragrance filling the room.
It has a floral scent and a touch of frankincense.
In addition, there are other scents, which are relatively light.
Because it has just come out of the pot, the aroma will be more intense.
Those who knew it were entering the Queen's Palace, but those who didn't know thought they had entered a cake shop.
Although Xiao Nianzhi was puzzled, he remained calm.
She and Yan Xingxuan greeted the queen, and only got up after receiving a signal from the other party.
After sitting down, I followed the process and listened to the queen's questions about daily life.
Xiao Nianzhi answered obediently. The Queen asked more questions than the Queen Mother, and Xiao Nianzhi did not show any impatience. He answered in a formal and not rigid manner.
The queen was very happy to hear this, and she was even happier when she saw that Xiao Nianzhi came to deliver soap to her.
Don't worry about the timing of the delivery. If you can come to her after the Queen Mother, it must be the same thing.
Could the one given to the Queen Mother be bad?
The lipstick I used before was really easy to use.
I didn't think it was obvious in the past, but as spring begins, it becomes more necessary.
After entering May, the weather became warmer and the air humidity became higher, which was better.
In March, April and February, that thing was really useful.
Now this soap, just by hearing the name, I think it is very useful!
There aren't many on the queen's side, only six yuan in total.
Even so, she was very surprised and thought Xiao Nianzhi was generous.
The next process was similar to the Queen Mother's. The Queen washed her hands, felt it, and found that the smell was good. Although it was bland, it was very comfortable.
The most important thing is that after washing, the slightly astringent feeling is indescribably pleasant.
After experiencing it and knowing how good the soap was, the queen also opened a private treasury and asked the palace officials to prepare rewards.
Afterwards, they ate snacks, talked for a while, and tasted a pot of good tea, and then Xiao Nianzhi and the others proposed to say goodbye.
After leaving the Queen's Palace, Xiao Nianzhi realized belatedly...
I seem to have eaten too much.
It happened that she and Yan Xingxuan were too lazy to sit in the sedan chair, so they simply walked back to Qinglan Hall.
The spring breeze is comfortable and gentle, and the sunshine in the afternoon is warm and makes people feel lazy.
The two of them were not in a hurry and walked leisurely, feeling that even the atmosphere around them became comfortable and comfortable.
Yan Xingxuan's hand was ready to move several times, wanting to quietly hook Xiao Nianzhi's hand.
However, he was a little embarrassed. He mustered up the courage several times, but the moment he stretched out his slender fingers, he suddenly retreated back. After that, he couldn't help but feel annoyed that he was too timid.
The two of them had obviously hugged each other, and they were surrounded by their own people.
Just hold hands, what's the matter?
Yan Xingxuan kept persuading himself in his mind, and after trying it several times, he felt it was very effective.
At this time, he felt that it was just a hold, and he even dared to hug her!
So, reach out!
Taking a deep breath, Yan Xingxuan stretched out his long and powerful fingers again and quietly approached Xiao Nianzhi.
