Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 107

Nan Zhen frowned, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Her vivid smile made Xiao Rongxi's eyes blink for a moment, and she lowered her eyes, "Yes."

Nan Zhen asked again, "Are there any plants in Your Majesty's Royal Garden that can repel mosquitoes? Such as geranium, rosemary, or mint?"

"I don't have the latter two, and I haven't heard of the former," Xiao Rongxi asked, "What is that?"

Nan Zhen responded calmly, "I saw it in a book by chance, saying that it is very effective in repelling mosquitoes, and it smells good."

Xiao Rongxi chuckled, "There are so many things in the book, and the palace doesn't have everything."

He paused, "Also, just tell Xiao Guizi what green plants you want, and don't harm the Imperial Garden anymore."

He passed by a few days ago and saw several pits in the flower garden, and the dug up soil was still fresh.

Nan Zhen's left ear goes in and out of the right ear, "Okay."

At the same time, it also verified the conjecture in my heart.

Even Xiao Rongxi has never heard of something, and the chance of it appearing in the Prince Chen's Mansion is not high, so Xiao Yiheng is very likely to have contact with the people in Mingyue Pavilion.

But... who is it?

Nan Zhen tapped her fingers intermittently on her knees, Xiao Rongxi glanced at her, and knew that she hadn't listened to her own words.

He didn't force it, just asked, "What are you thinking?"

Nan Zhen suppressed the emotion in her eyes, raised her eyes and smiled, "I'm hungry, I'm thinking about when the food will be ready."

"lie."

Although Xiao Rongxi said so, he didn't get to the bottom of it, and raised his voice, "Xiao Guizi."

"The slave is here!"

The voice came out first, and then I saw the person with a face covered in black and gray.

He probably also knew that his face was not clean, so he reached out and wiped it again.

It's more evenly black.

Nan Zhen couldn't hold back her chuckle, Xiao Rongxi also raised the corner of her mouth, "How long can I have dinner?"

"Eh... About two quarters of an hour?" Xiao Guizi thought for a while, "There are three more dishes!"

"Understood, let's burn your fire."

Dongyue uses local materials and cooks some home-cooked dishes.

Braised eggplant, stir-fried vegetable stalks, dry-stir-fried cauliflower, and the rest of boiled chicken and sauced elbow are all directly taken from the Imperial Dining Room.

The dishes that Xiao Rongxi ate on weekdays were exquisite, but when he ate the vegetarian food here by chance, he felt fresh and even added an extra bowl to his meal.

Nan Zhen was gnawing on the chicken wings slowly beside her, concentrating on it, and she didn't raise her head until a loud voice came.

Xiao Rongxi put down his chopsticks, asked Dongyue to add some soup, and said, "In a few days, there will be a school competition in the suburbs of Beijing, do you want to go and see it?"

"Ok?"

Nan Zhen spat out a bone and tilted her head, "What competition?"

Xiao Rongxi: "There are both literary and military tests. In previous years, they were divided into three categories: archery, imperialism, and calligraphy. This year, people in the etiquette department said that there is an extra Xiangqin. To add more color, they even set up a ring."

As soon as the news was released, many people rushed to sign up, thinking that the scene would be very lively.

When Nan Zhen heard this, she immediately became interested, "Who are the participants?"

"Mainly students from the News School," Xiao Rongxi explained, "There are also some young people who have just entered the dynasty."

The Wenxin School is the first school in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was established in the capital, and the gentlemen there are all very accomplished in a certain field, so the ministers of the DPRK and China are willing to send their children there.

Most of the academies are children of government officials, and some students are admitted by their own abilities.

The annual competition in the school field is to supervise these young people on the one hand, and to select talents for the imperial court on the other hand.
