Those who went to sea received a very grand welcome when they returned to the capital.
One day later, Emperor Chengsheng invited the Supreme Emperor back and organized a special palace banquet.
Every dish on the table is made of potatoes and sweet potatoes, such as fried potatoes, soy potatoes, sweet potato slices and roasted sweet potatoes...
When the yield per mu was announced, the audience was filled with joy again.
Everyone unanimously remembered the Champa Dao back then, and there was a sudden chorus of praise and praise. From then on, Emperor Chengsheng was able to secure his throne.
The sea route can be maintained forever, but after the route is opened, many people who participate for the first time can retire.
There are many Jianghu people here. Yan Shiyue contacted her and was very hesitant. Huo Qijing asked her: "What?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Actually, I think these people are pretty good, but..."
But because of what happened to Xiao Tangzhi, and because of the deaths of Jia He, Wei Xin and others, she felt very uncomfortable when she thought about it, so she was a little afraid of people in the Jianghu.
Huo Qijing didn't care and said, "Then I'll go back and take a look."
Afterwards, he made some contacts and left behind a few people with excellent character. Then he opened a military academy in Chang'an City, "aiming to cultivate high-quality talents who are good at military and military affairs." Like the Northern Academy, it only taught academics.
, does not accept disciples.
Taking advantage of the rise of martial arts after Emperor Chengsheng ascended the throne, he was surprisingly popular.
As for Yan Shiyue.
After the palace banquet, Yan Shiyue carefully checked the things they brought back and found that there was cocoa! He couldn't help but salivate when he heard it!
She took two bags of cocoa beans home, dried them and ground them into powder, and then made chocolate by herself.
The method is simple, stir cocoa powder and cocoa butter into a paste, stir thoroughly, heat at low temperature, then add finely ground sugar and butter, stir thoroughly, slowly add milk, and then pour into the prepared mold.
The molds are for small animals, such as rabbits and puppies. In each mold, there are also a few peeled peanuts.
Then just wait for it to cool and solidify and pour it out.
She deliberately chose to cook it before going to the study to take a bath. She asked someone to tell Dumplings and others in advance. After leaving the palace, Dumplings invited everyone to come and taste it.
Who didn't know that Yan Shiyue was the best at making new things, so all the children in the study followed him.
Then Yan Shiyue asked someone to bring the chocolate over, and each person had two small pieces on the plate, which were pitch black.
A dozen half-year-old children who were full of expectations looked at each other.
Someone asked: "What is this?"
"It looks weird."
"It doesn't seem very tasty."
The eldest prince Jie'er smiled and said: "You won't know until you taste it. I just know that what my aunt cooks must be delicious." As he said that, he picked it up and put it in his mouth.
As he took the lead, the others followed suit. At first, they all had strange expressions, but after the initial discomfort, the mellow taste came up and occupied their mouths domineeringly...
Yan Shimi is a foodie, and he was the first to join in: "It's delicious!"
“It tastes a little weird, but it’s really delicious!”
Then everyone rushed to put the second one into their mouths, and then everyone started pestering Yan Shiyue: "Auntie, it's delicious! Is there any more?"
Yan Shiyue smiled and said: "Don't eat too much of this, especially if you are still young. If you eat too much, you will get angry and your nose will bleed."
After the meal, she gave each of the children a small paper bag. Inside the paper bag were twelve chocolate bars. She said, "That's all. Remember you can only eat two chocolate bars at most a day, and after you finish eating, there will be no more chocolates."
Because the others have been used to make seeds, and they won’t be available until next year.”
Then I sent them out, and Yu Wai sent some to the palace, Wannian Garden, Prince Duan's Mansion, Prince Xian's Mansion, and Prince Ping's Mansion, but they were not much, so I just had a taste.
A few days later was the Zhaitian Festival, and there was another palace banquet. Yan Shiyue brought rice cakes and sat with the female family members.
This is purely what Meng Hui requested.
Because although Xiao Nian Gao has practiced martial arts with Dumpling since she was a child, she is really pretty and ladylike, and she also likes female celebrities, so Meng Hui trained her to be a lady, and Yan Shiyue saw that she was indeed happy with it.
I can only cooperate silently.
Yan Shiyue only had time to chat with Xie Meiwan, so they sat and chatted together, leaving the little rice cake to Meng Min to take care of, mainly because she didn't know how to take care of it.
At the table, Mrs. Du, Du Qisheng's wife, spoke to her: "The things your Highness asked Yu'er to bring back a few days ago have a very special taste, but they are so expensive that no one in the family has been able to taste them.
mouth."
She had been extremely angry for a long time. Who would give such a small thing to someone? They were not afraid of being shabby! Before contacting him again, Huo Qijing arrived at Northwest Pass and treated Du Qisheng indifferently. He didn't look like a junior at all. She couldn't be angry.
Shun.
Yan Shiyue just hummed.
After capturing Mozhou, Du Qisheng came back, and Mrs. Du also came back. After that, Du Qisheng returned to Northwest Pass, and Mrs. Du stayed in Chang'an City.
The Yu'er she was talking about was the son of Du Qisheng's eldest son and the second prince's companion.
Seeing Yan Shiyue's laziness, Mrs. Du was a little unwilling and said: "Our general also had a friendship with General Huo back in the day. Since General Huo passed away, this good family relationship has gradually faded away.
Already..."
Yan Shiyue put down her chopsticks.
The people sitting together were not surprised at all. They put down their chopsticks and waited silently.
Yan Shiyue said: "First, the cocoa was shipped from overseas. The quantity was not large, and most of it was kept as seeds. I only made a little to let the children have a taste and gain insights, and know that there are many things in the world.
Such a thing...I have only tasted one. How much did the Emperor eat? How much did the Emperor eat? Who are you, do you think you can eat until you are full?"
"Second, all the children are treated equally. Only my biological father and biological brother are given a few more. What's the matter, do you think I deliberately gave less to your children? I really don't have the time to spare. I don't have any.
I know your children. But you have to mention Northwest
King, I really need to argue with you. Back then, the Northwest King had a friendship with General Du, but Du Rong also set up a trap to kill Huo Qijing. I don’t care, you still have to join in.
How about I care about it and ask your second son to come and die?"
When everyone heard the second half, they couldn't help but breathe in secretly.
Mrs. Du was stunned when she heard this.
Since the death of the Northwest King, Du Qisheng has been the local emperor at the border. She has become accustomed to being the only one she can. Even when she returned to Chang'an City, she couldn't adjust. She never expected that someone would speak so rudely.
Mrs. Du's face turned green and white for a moment. She wanted to apologize but couldn't get off the stage. She said in a trembling voice: "You, you..."
"Stop talking," Mrs. Sun came over to hold her, "If you feel uncomfortable, go down and have a rest." While forcibly pulling her up and sending her out, she warned coldly: "Please wake up, you really want to kill me."
Your son?"
Mrs. Du said in a trembling voice: "Could she really know how to..."
"She will! If you continue to make trouble, His Highness will not need to take action, the Emperor will take action directly! By then it will not only be your son's problem!"
Mrs. Du's face turned pale and she hurriedly held her hand: "Well, then I'll go back and apologize."
"No need." Mrs. Sun said, "Behave properly when we meet in the future. Don't be too nosy or talk too much. His Highness won't argue with you."
She turned and left.
Yan Shiyue didn't say anything anymore, and the atmosphere quickly became warm again.
The women in Chang'an City really understand her temperament very well. Yan Shiyue actually rarely takes the initiative to provoke, but if you dare to provoke her, she will definitely make you doubt your life and regret it.
Afterwards, when the monarch and his ministers were chatting, they all brought this incident up and laughed.
Lin Fujian smiled and said to Emperor Chengsheng: "Everyone says that the Supreme Emperor loves the Prime Minister, but they don't know that the Emperor also loves the Prime Minister very much."
Chen Yanyun also said: "I think the emperor favors the prime minister more, and the prime minister's temper is getting worse."
Emperor Chengsheng smiled slightly: "Yue'er is the most reasonable, so what if she has a bad temper? Isn't it because others provoke her that she gets angry? If in my country, my Yue'er still swallows her anger, then I am really ashamed of Aye,
I am ashamed of the people."
If others don't know, how can he not know that whether it's rice from Champa, potatoes, or sweet potatoes, there's nothing she didn't give him?
If he is really provoked by others and forgets these things, he will not only be unworthy of being a brother, but also unworthy of being an emperor.
The Zen position was originally set on August 15th. This was the tacit understanding between father and son.
Don’t forget your original intention, don’t forget your original intention.
When my father is in power, he can hold up a clear sky for Yue'er, and I can do the same.
I can work hard to govern, I can eat and sleep, I can follow advice... but my Yue'er must always do as she pleases and be happy. (To be continued)
