Guozijian little cook

The boiled cabbage is delicious and the Wensi tofu is light and elegant.

Both dishes give people an extremely satisfying feeling.

Of course, the visual impact is also extremely obvious.

The broth of boiled cabbage, and the knife skills of Wensi tofu.

Yan Xingxuan felt that everything was good. If he wasn't afraid of Xiao Nianzhi's embarrassment, he would start from eating and praise it all the way to the end.

However, he restrained himself.

After eating, the two talked for a while.

Xiao Nianzhi originally thought about getting the cement out before the new year and trying to lay it out after the new year. When the spring comes, he would like to go out for an outing or have an outing or ride a carriage, which would be more comfortable.

But now it seems...

I'm afraid this plan will be delayed for a while.

The cement matter has been put on hold for the time being, and hybrid experiments with various plants will need to be considered later this year.

She didn't quite understand this matter, so she still needed to learn and experiment now.

As for whether it can be successful, we still need to see the final experimental results.

So, with any luck, you might be able to eat something different next fall.

bad luck……

It’s the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

After dinner, the sky had completely darkened.

Yan Xingxuan had to leave no matter how reluctant he was.

He didn't want to leave, so he could just make a bunk on the ground at the door.

It wasn't that he was impatient. Ever since Xiao Nianzhi began to respond to his feelings, he was no longer so anxious.

Yan Xingxuan was just afraid that it was not safe in this treacherous deep palace. He had to guard his sweetheart carefully to feel at ease.

However, if he really kept it like that, he would be afraid of affecting Xiao Nianzhi's reputation.

In the end, Yan Xingxuan left three times in one step. Before leaving, he made a lot of uneasy confessions.

Qinglan Hall is also guarded, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

Moreover, Xiao Nianzhi was summoned into the palace by His Majesty, and everyone knew the relationship between her and Yan Xingxuan. As long as no one in the harem was stupid, they would not provoke her.

She will not become His Majesty's woman in the future, nor will she become their love rival (...). Targeting her might even anger Yan Xingxuan and the Queen Mother.

So, why bother?
Even so, Yan Xingxuan was still worried.

After the Queen Mother heard the news, she collapsed beside the bed with a smile: "Xiao Shiliu, you also have today!"

The Queen Mother felt helpless and funny at the same time.

This is a palace, not a place for eating people!
However, after laughing, there was a hint of sadness in my heart.

This is the palace, which is actually a place where people can be eaten.

It's just that she is in a high position and no one dares to eat her anymore.

The weather turned around and the weather was good. The sun slowly rose in the morning, bringing the temperature up a lot.

But in winter, a rise of one or two degrees is not particularly obvious. It should be cold or cold.

The main thing is the howling north wind, which is like a ruthless hand, blowing whenever it wants, and it makes people's faces hurt.

Xiao Nianzhi got up early in the morning and went to the imperial dining room to provide guidance and help.

She doesn't need to do anything. Most of the time, she is like a mascot. From time to time, she listens to this master and that master asks: "Does this look good?"

"What do you think, Mr. Xiao, of this presentation?"

"What do you think, sir, of this carving?"

...In the beginning, I just guided the progress of boiling cabbage and the evolution of Wensi Tofu's knife skills.

However, later on, I didn’t know who started. This person carved a plate decoration, that person placed a plate, and they all wanted to ask her.

It didn't take much time for Xiao Nianzhi to go from being confused at the beginning to becoming proficient later.

It was approaching noon, and listening to the noise in front, it seemed that the banquet had already begun.

Because the palace people have already started to move.

Dishes tend to get cold easily in cold weather. This is not like the annual banquet where His Majesty still needs to go through various procedures, so many dishes, even in the end, are so cold that they are about to freeze. There is no other way but to accept them.

Now it is affecting Da Jin's face.

So, what should I do if the weather is too cold and the dishes get cold easily?
Then think of a way to thicken the meal cover!

While he was busy, Xiao Nianzhi vaguely heard the sound of musical instruments, which was not obvious. Occasionally, one or two sounds came from the wind, probably coming from the banquet hall.

They are actually not that close, so occasionally when they are high-spirited, they can hear one or two sounds.

She sat in the corner, trying this now, and then eating that for face.

After all the dishes were served, Xiao Nianzhi was full and was drinking the digestion soup.

As a prince, Yan Xingxuan must be going to the front now.

After all, there are not many princes staying in the capital, and the older princes also need to go.

Xilou took the initiative to hand over the letter of surrender. In order to show his sincerity, he would definitely send his daughter-in-law over.

As for whether it was with His Majesty or someone else, that was not known.

Whether it was for town control or other considerations, Yan Xingxuan and the others had to go.

Last night, Yan Xingxuan revealed to Xiao Nianzhi that among the envoys coming this time, there seemed to be a cousin of his.

As for the distance between them, who knows?

Yan Xingxuan's biological mother passed away early, and he actually didn't know much about what happened in Xilou.

The reason why we know this information this time is also the result of His Majesty's investigation.

It is said that the person who came is Yan Xingxuan’s biological mother, the daughter of half-sisters.

Yan Xingxuan's biological mother was said to be the princess of Xilou, but according to him, she was just a down-and-out clan relative. Because of her beauty, she was remembered, identified, and sent over.

Yan Xingxuan's biological mother's mother is from the Xilou clan, and her father is said to be from the Central Plains. But it is said that she is good-looking and quite popular in Xilou, so she has many wives, including three or four upright ones. Those who are not ranked Names, and ten or eight others.

All in all, he is a handsome and romantic young man.

Because of this romantic young man, his wives did not get along well with each other, and correspondingly, the relationship between their respective children was not friendly either.

This is why Yan Xingxuan said that his cousin was separated by countless rooms and had never met before, let alone being close to her.

However, so many envoys were sent here this time, why did they bring such one?
I don’t know if Xilou is hiding other thoughts.

In fact...

It really is.

Xilou is just thinking twice.

One is thinking that he can let His Majesty see the Moon Messenger, and then let the princess who married to the Central Plains marry the other's son to strengthen the relationship between the two parties.

To put it bluntly, they want double insurance.

In essence, Xilou is not a powerful country. At first, it was just following the trend. Now it is afraid of being resented by the Jin Dynasty, so it wants to double down on its goodwill, maybe...

Can you escape?

Of course, it was only their first day here, so they would not express their intentions early.

However, the intention of bringing people here this time is actually very obvious.
