King Yong and his party arrived at the gate of the palace. King Yong lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the palace garden that had been away for three years.

It happened that the courtiers came out from the gate of the palace and saw King Yong, who would not sigh in his heart what a pity.

Marquis Anyuan and other courtiers saluted King Yong.

King Yong said elegantly, "My lords, you don't need to be too polite."

Then he said to An Yuanhou: "I have been at the border for a long time, and when I arrived in Luoyang, I heard that Lord Hou was happy to have his eldest daughter. I am very happy to congratulate you."

Marquis An Yuan heard his heart beating slightly, but he said with a smile on his face, "Thank you, my lord."

After a few words of greeting, King Yong went to the Hall of Qinzheng, and when he arrived in the Hall of Qinzheng, King Yong knelt down to Emperor Huilin and made a big salute, "Long live my father, long live, long live. "

Emperor Huilin recalled the queen's indifference last night, and naturally said to King Yong calmly: "Get up."

"The Empress Dowager is not in good health. This time, the Empress Dowager has lost her mind so that you can return to Chang'an. After you return to Chang'an, you should show your filial piety in front of the Empress Dowager!"

King Yong looked at the indifference in Emperor Huilin's eyes and was used to it. When the prince was born, he was only four or five years old.

He couldn't figure out why his father, who had always treated him coldly, could love so much for an infant child.

Even after the child yelled "Father and Queen", he overcame all opinions and was bestowed the crown prince.

Three years ago, when the prince disappeared and his life was unknown, he realized that in this world, perhaps for Emperor Huilin, he only had one son.

King Yong bowed his head and said, "Your servant obeys."

Emperor Huilin shook his hand and said to King Yong, "Go down."

...

When Marquis An Yuan returned to his mansion, when he went to visit the old lady, he told the old lady about King Yong, "Prince Rui was extremely intelligent back then, but it's a pity... today he asked about Jinniang, and my son felt that there must be something wrong with it. Simple."

Mrs. Qiao turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, frowned and said, "Even though King Yong is extremely talented, he was too anxious back then. Not long after the crown prince disappeared, his life and death were uncertain, so he was in a hurry to establish another crown prince. What are the concubine Xian and the queen mother thinking about?" ?

When he asked about Jinniang, he might have the intention of wooing our Hou family.

Ruoyi is a concubine after all, and if Shui is a concubine, he also knows that the Houfu will not agree...

But by accepting Jinniang as a side concubine, she can win over the Hou Mansion without offending His Majesty the Crown Prince. "

Marquis Anyuan said: "I think so too, so Jinniang's marriage has to be done as soon as possible, but Madam, she is determined to find a concubine for Jinniang who has no concubines in the mansion. Mrs. Nomura, there is no one who does not take concubines..."

"It's not easy for my son to find a marriage for Jinniang. I hope my mother will take care of her. Don't let my wife continue to grind, and then Jinniang will be caught in a struggle for no reason."

Mrs. Qiao also felt that her daughter-in-law was too much, so she said: "The son of the Yu family is the most suitable for Jinniang, but unfortunately he is impatient. I will take this matter to heart."

...

The fourth day of May.

Qiao Jinniang calculated the accounts in the Zhiwei Pavilion in the courtyard for the past few days, and the daily surplus was around 500 taels. This business was much better than when it was in Lin'an.

Glutinous rice hung wormwood leaves, peach branches and calamus leaves at the door.

Turning around, I saw Qiao Ruoyi coming over, "Fifth Miss."

The maid behind Qiao Ruoyi was holding a plate of zongzi, Qiao Ruoyi said: "My aunt and I made some zongzi with our own hands, and specially brought them for my second sister to taste."

Hearing Qiao Ruoyi's voice, Qiao Jinniang came out repeatedly and said, "Fifth sister, you are welcome, there are zongzi in the house, and Zhiwei Pavilion has made a lot of zongzi."

Qiao Ruoyi said: "Most of the rice dumplings in the mansion are sweet rice dumplings. I'm afraid my sister won't be used to eating them, so I specially made salty rice dumplings for my sister."

Jin Niang smiled slightly, "My sister has a heart."

Qiao Ruoyi said gratefully: "If it weren't for my sister's thousand-year-old ginseng, I'm afraid my aunt would not be able to live. This mere zongzi is really nothing."

"If my sister has any orders in the future, just say that I will go through fire and water."

"Hehe, it's just a coincidence that I came here. I just wanted to give my sister the crabs and red bayberries specially sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as Ruoyi's words fell, Qiao Ruoshui entered Jinyuan without any communication.

Qiao Ruoshui stared at the treasures on the Duobao Pavilion in the house, and saw that the curtains in the house were all extremely precious smoke cloud gauze. She gritted her teeth angrily. She begged for materials that her mother would not give to make clothes, and Qiao Jinniang's house was full of them. Make partition curtains.

"His Royal Highness is thinking of me in his heart. This red bayberry is rare to see. Even the nobles in the palace can hardly eat a few."

"Everyone says that fresh lychees are precious, but compared to fresh lychees, few people in Chang'an have ever seen this fresh red bayberry."

Qiao Ruoshui put a plate of chilled red bayberry in front of Qiao Jinniang.

Qiao Ruoyi was surprised: "Are there any crabs at this time? Aren't these crabs only available around the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Hongxiu, the maid beside Qiao Ruoshui, proudly said: "It doesn't mean that His Royal Highness misses my girl in his heart, it turns out that crabs are found in four seasons in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is the most tender Mayyellow crab picked up from Taihu Lake. It is extremely difficult to deliver the bayberry and crab along the way.

Especially red bayberry is perishable, even if it is chilled, it will rot within five days.

But the ones from Chang'an, which were sent urgently over eight hundred miles, can guarantee the freshness of the red bayberry.

This is all for the little emperor's grandson to want to eat, there is not much in all, the prince also gave two plates of red bayberry and a Lou Wuyuehuang to the Hou's mansion! "

Qiao Jinniang said lightly: "Since the prince gave it to my sister, how can I take my sister's?"

Qiao Ruoshui raised her head and said proudly: "After I enter the East Palace, what delicious food can't I eat? My sister...

The marriages my mother is looking for for my sister are all for participating in Enke...

At that time, my sister may not be able to taste this precious thing. "

Nuomi hummed softly at the side: "What's the matter? In the south of the Yangtze River, red bayberry can be picked everywhere at this time, and there are hundreds of jars of red bayberry shochu in Baiweilou.

Not to mention crabs, which can be caught in any river, so how precious are they? "

Jinniang glanced at the glutinous rice and said, "Don't talk too much, fourth sister, you'd better take this red bayberry back and eat it by yourself."

Qiao Ruoshui didn't intend to give the bayberry crab to Qiao Jinniang, but just showed it to Mrs. Hou, and even came to Qiao Jinniang to show off.

After Qiao Ruoshui left, Qiao Ruoyi also left.

Nuomi said indignantly: "Could it be that Lord Hou and his wife made a mistake? How could this be given to Miss Fourth? Obviously my master loves red bayberries and crabs the most, my uncle must have sent them to you."

Qiao Jinniang loves to eat red bayberry. When she left Jiangnan, it was Qingming time, and there was no red bayberry at that time.

It's the time when Jiangnan Yangmei is in full bloom, but she can't eat it anymore. After all, it's not something that the Houfu can use...

Qiao Jinniang said to Nuomi: "He is not your uncle anymore, so don't talk nonsense in the future. Today, Qiao Ruoshui has a good temper and didn't bother with you about your disrespect just now, but in the future you need to be more cautious in your words and deeds. middle."

Nuomi pouted and replied, "Yes, miss, but Nuomi still thinks that the red bayberry and crab are for you... Auntie, the crown prince still has you in his heart."

After all, Brother Tuan doesn't like sour bayberry at all, but Jinniang loves bayberry only.
