Xiao Yilin and the others were brought directly into the living room in the front yard by Butler Liu.
Entering the living room, I saw the eldest daughter Xiao Jinyue sitting in the main seat.
Xiao Yilin rushed forward a few steps, bringing Xiao Yiyan and Jing Yi to salute Xiao Jinyue.
Xiao Jinyue immediately stood up and supported Xiao Yilin and said, "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be too formal."
Then Xiao Jinyue grabbed Jing Yi's hand next to her, looked up and down and said with a smile: "It's An Lehou, right? , I didn't expect him to be so handsome, but he can't compare to the fourth brother." Xiao Yiyan smiled
and said, "Auntie, now that my fourth brother has met his opponent, and he has to relinquish the title of the prettiest man in the capital."
Xiao Jinyue smiled and said: "Xiao Jiu, you can't give up too much, you are also a beautiful boy. This time when you were here in Anlehou, I just introduced my son to you. In the future, you will often come and make friends. "
Speaking, Xiao Jinyue turned her head and asked her oldest servant, Dongmei, to call the Fukang County King Xie Yunze.
Xiao Yilin and the others sat on chairs in the living room, and the servants served tea.
Sitting in the main seat, Xiao Jinyue chatted with a few people, "Fourth, have you settled down after returning to Beijing?"
Xiao Yilin nodded, "Everything is going well."
Xiao Jinyue nodded, "Good. Actually I don't want to have a banquet to see these flowers. You also know that I usually live in seclusion and rarely interact with outsiders, and there are not many houses in the capital close to me. But a few days ago, the emperor called me to the palace and asked me to hold it
For the banquet to see the flowers, all the princes and women of the right age in the capital invited the Emperor to say that the Ningyuan Hou House will hold a banquet of seeing flowers in the next few days, the Emperor said, and asked me to advance them one day so that the banquet saw the flowers of Ningyuan Hou House could not be held.
I know Consort Shu wants to marry Yan Yuyao from Ningyuan Hou House to you as the fourth princess. Even though you rejected him, he still had no intention of giving up. If you went to the banquet to see the Ningyuan Hou Mansion flowers, you might be tricked by them. When the time comes, you will be stupid and unable to tell if you suffer from Coptis Chinensis, so you must marry Yan Yuyao."
Xiao Yilin's face darkened when she heard this, "I've very clearly refused that I won't marry Yan Yuyao, no matter what they do, I won't marry her." Xiao Jinyue sighed and said: "You are still too young, and because
You I have been fighting abroad for many years, and then I went to Huizhou not long after I was injured and poisoned when I returned to the capital, You don't know that some people in the capital are actually using any means to achieve their goal Say Ningyuan Houfu, if they plot against you, they will make you and Yan Yuyao
random Stay in the same room for a while, and let others see you, even if you have eight mouths, you can't speak clearly. At that time, even if you do not want to marry Yan Yuyao, some ministers in the court will unite to attack the emperor and force you to marry Yan Yuyao. Do you think Ningyuan Hou House They can't do such a thing? So your dad was really worried you'd be cheated by them if you went to the banquet to see their flowers." Xiao Yilin said
: "Auntie should also know my background, right?"
Xiao Jinyue nodded, "How could I not know. When you were sent back to your father, your father didn't have time to take care of you, but you stayed by my side for a few months. Lately, your father remembered you At first, we all thought that family
Brother Huang also regretted that you were recorded under the name Consort Shu. He had pressed you on behalf of your mother, only to make way for Xiao Yikun. Little do you know his mind Your father has known it for some time.
It's just that this is not the time to reveal your true life experiences. If you put up with it, your royal father will change your jade certificate in the future. At that time, Consort Shu will never want to use your mother's Status to suppress you."
Xiao Yilin nodded, "I understand, aunt. I will maintain a superficial harmony with Consort Shu." After Xiao
Jinyue cared, Xiao Yilin turned to Xiao Yiyan, "Is Xiaojiu okay at the academy?"
Xiao Yiyan said: "I I did very well in the academy. The masters in the academy were very knowledgeable. I've learned a lot lately. Classmates are also very friendly, and I have a few friends."
Xiao Jinyue nodded, "That's good, unfortunately, if Yunze isn't too weak, I'll let her go to the academy to study, at least she doesn't have to stay home all the time, and he doesn't even have a friend." Xiao Yiyan said: "Auntie, I have never been here
previously In the capital, the fourth brother was not here, and I was unable to contact my cousin. In the future, my fourth brother and I will be in the capital, so we can visit more. There is also Chu Jingyan, she will also often stay in the capital in the future, so my cousin will be there in the future Friend." Xiao Jinyue was overjoyed to hear those words
that's, "Of course it's okay. In the future, you will often come to visit home, and I will definitely treat you with good food. Hou Anle, you will often come to my house as a guest in the future, and I will prepare a delicious meal for you"
Xiao Yiyan said with a smile: "Auntie, Chu Jingyan is the best cook. You did not know that all the delicious food in Xiankelai Restaurant, which was a hot business in the capital, were all made by Chu Jingyan. I personally have tasted the dishes he made, and it's too good."
Xiao Jinyue asked in surprise: "Oh, An Lehou also likes to cook? I also had a meal at Xiankelai. They are really delicious . I did not expect They were all created by An Lehou. Your talent in this field is truly unrivalled.
Because the dishes you make have inspired a lot of people, and they know that the ingredients can still make food that way, and they are still very tasty. As a result, folk food has become more varied, and many previously unknown edible foods are now on the folk table. It is also a tribute to you. "Jing Yi said with a smile: "You have won the prize, I love it
Use a variety of ingredients to learn some new dishes, and apply some ingredients that people don't know."
Xiao Jinyue said: "I like to cook all kinds of food. Yunze has been in poor health since she was a child, and she eats poorly, so I just want me to be able to make more good food, and let her eat a few more bites." Jing Yi knew that this was a
the mother who loved her child very much, and in order for her child to eat more, she personally very rarely cooked food for the children.
As everyone chatted, there were footsteps outside the door. Not long after, a man in silver gray brocade robes walked into the door.
The man's face was pale, and his lips were colorless, but his lips were beautifully shaped, his eyes were as graceful as mist, his eyelashes were long and raised, his eyebrows were shaped like distant mountains, and his skin was as smooth as that. porcelain Weak and beautiful man.
Jing Yi stood up in shock after seeing the man's face clearly, and exclaimed, "Mu Yuze?"
