"Get out."

The anger on Nan Fengjin's stern face remained undiminished, he offended people, and he had to bear what should be endured.

"Yes, Shizi." When it was time to say something, he clasped his fists in return and walked away.

Take down the bandits in Jiming Mountain before dawn, move out of camp, and move to the next bandit stronghold.

The roast ducks in Jinxiu Pavilion are fragrant, and there are only [-] ducks per day.

In the backyard, Xia Yunjin was watching Chef Jiangyang Hepang making roast duck, every procedure was crucial.

Duck eggs are easy to hatch in summer, and the duck flock grows stronger, but the quantity is still insufficient, so the purchase is limited.

After the roast duck is marinated and put into the oven, it is rare to sit comfortably on the rocking chair.

The back door knocked and excellent past opened.

Seeing someone coming, he hesitated for a while, "Sister Ning Xin, please come in."

Ning Xin nodded to the little girl, then walked in front of the princess, "See you, the princess, the empress is calling you back to the palace."

Xia Yunjin rubbed her sore arm and got up, "Do you know why the queen mother asked me?"

Ning Xin shook her head to express her ignorance.

Go to the small kitchen to make some arrangements, "Jiang Yang, just keep an eye on the roast duck, I have something to go back to the palace."

"Yes, princess."

Jiang Yang and Fat Chef smiled and cupped their fists in return. Recently, the roast duck was sold out, and their wages increased by ten taels of silver.The monthly silver price of restaurants in the capital is generally not high, the princess’s Jinxiu Pavilion has the highest monthly silver price, and the errand runners are all three taels of silver.

Go back to change clothes before entering the palace, the smell of oily smoke has passed, and the queen mother should nagging again.

Ning Xin took the six princesses to the backyard of Fengluan Palace, where the queen and prince were sitting in the pavilion.

"Queen, you can talk about it at night if you have something to do. If it's not a big deal to call me back in a hurry, I won't obey!"

Lifting the hem of the skirt, stepping on the steps to enter the pavilion.

Shen Zhenzhu, who was eating mung bean cake leisurely, glared at her daughter, "I see you are busier than your father every day."

Xia Yunqi smiled and said nothing, he didn't dare to provoke his sister's stubborn temper.

"Look at what you said, I can't compare to father." He went to sit beside her, and made himself a cup of rose tea.

Shen Zhenzhu put down the half-eaten mung bean cake and cleaned her hands with a handkerchief, "The harem hasn't been busy for a long time. I want to hold a lotus banquet and invite princes and daughters above the official rank three to attend. You don't have to run out of the palace recently, follow by your side and learn how to organize banquets. Don't marry and be ashamed in the future."

She glanced at her elder brother with a flick of her eyes, did the queen mother want to choose the crown princess?

Xia Yunqi was uncomfortable being stared at, and raised her hand to touch her small head, "Don't think about it, the queen mother wants to be a matchmaker, to create opportunities for boys and girls to meet each other."

"Hey, not all the same."

I took a piece of pastry and ate it, and listened quietly to my mother and brother discussing important matters.

There is a big lake in the imperial garden, where is the lotus feast to be held, recently the lotus blooms pretty well, occasionally let you pick it up and fry it, the lotus heart is used to make tea, it is a sacred product.

The invitation post was sent out, and Xia Yunjin reported to Fengluan Palace every day to participate in the matters of the banquet.

The Duke of Zhen's mansion received the invitation, and the old Hou Ye entered the palace without stopping.

At the gate of Chengqian Palace, he paced back and forth anxiously waiting for the announcement.

The guards came in to report, and when they heard that Lord Hou was outside, they snorted coldly, if your son dares to bully Xiao Liu, this will be the end.

Put down the chess box, "Let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard ordered him to step back.

When Nan Shifeng stepped into the main hall, the meritorious officials did not need to kneel and salute, but clasped their fists slightly, "I have seen the emperor."

Old man, seeing me is just for my son's sake.

He didn't slip around, and said bluntly, "Why is Ai Qing looking for me?"

The emperor pretended to be confused, and snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, my son is just at the age of starting a family, and now he has been working hard to suppress bandits for more than a month, and he has worked hard without mentioning the merits. Today, I received the invitation from the queen empress to reward the lotus. I beseech your majesty to consider my son and send him back to the banquet."

Rewarding Heyan really saved him, that's all, the son is considered a leader among his peers, and a month's punishment is still a relief.

The emperor smiled, "Ai Qing, do you know why I entrust my son with such a heavy responsibility?"

Why didn't you make some guesses yourself, the old Hou Ye clasped his fists again with a sullen face, "Your Majesty, the son misses his dead mother in his heart, and he doesn't sell the orchard because he wants to keep it as a memory."

His eyes were red with thoughts, "I have been stationed on the frontier for half my life, and my late wife was kidnapped by Wu Guo's spies ten years ago. The two armies threatened her before the war. The child missed her mother carefully, and the young and frivolous shot and killed the leader of the enemy army, which drove the rebel army to go crazy and killed his wife. My son was devastated after that, and the camp was decadent for several days."

Speaking of this, he knelt down on one knee, "Chen Rongjia came back and did not ask for rewards, but to retire. Now I only have such a son, I implore Your Majesty to forgive the recklessness of the unfilial son."

The emperor uncomfortably picked up the chess box. It was written in the victory report of the great war that General Zhen Guo lost his wife. He did not expect such a miserable experience.

"Liu Xun, pass on my decree to transfer back to the son, and let General Su Bai be the chief general of suppressing bandits."

Liu Xun, who was writing the pen, wrote down the secret booklet, dried the ink, and brought it over for the emperor to make the final confirmation.

Seeing Mi Zhe, the old Hou Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the brat is coming back.

Yang Mansion
Jiao Lu took the gold-plated invitation card and walked briskly to the young lady's study.

"Miss, the master just gave this to me and told you to have a banquet in the harem in five days."

Wu Huaman, who was playing with an origami tiger on the table, looked up, "Going to the banquet?"

Yang Xuewu stopped the pen in her hand, smiled and came over to take the invitation card, "It's a pity Manman, you will be leaving tomorrow."

Opening the invitation card, what was written inside was the same as what the maid said, and the smile on her face deepened when she saw that it was handled by the empress. This is the selection of the princess.

My young lady looked at the invitation and laughed, Jiao Lu didn't understand for a moment, the eldest son has not been seen for a month, is the young lady suffering from lovesickness?

Wu Huaman leaned over, "Xue Wu, what fun is there in the palace?"

After coming to the Xia Dynasty for so long, I have never been to the palace, and I can't choose a husband and son-in-law. If I go back in such a disheveled manner, the emperor's brother will die of laughter.

Yang Xuewu closed the post to Jiao Lu, "It's nothing fun, it's just a place where people eat people and don't spit out their bones. I don't like it coldly."

Speaking of Wu Huaman's heart, those concubines of the emperor's brother are not good birds, so they dare not provoke her. Those with low status are suppressed and starve to death.

Don't look at the flowers played by brother, but the position of queen has been vacant all the time. He said that the first wife must find someone he likes.

Fart~ She didn't believe that someone as old and cunning as her brother would have a crush on him!
She doesn't want her brother to be so bothersome and wholeheartedly pretending to be Nanfeng's son.

Pulling the good sisters over to sit down and drink tea, "Xue Wu, where do you think the prince has been this month? If I don't see him for the last time before I leave, I will be sad for the rest of my life."

Yang Xuewu was a little retched, with the same smile on her face, "I only found out that he led the army to suppress the bandits."
