A bold son-in-law doting on his concubine and destroying his wife?The ashes are scattered!

Leng Lanzhi is going to hold a literary banquet, so Liu Sha and other close friends will naturally get busy early.

The location of the Wenqu Banquet was not at the Princess Mansion, but at Xiulan Village outside the city.

It was Leng Lanzhi's private manor. It was early spring, the earth was still sleeping, but the manor was already filled with flowers of various colors.

As a first-class maid in the princess palace, Liusha will not only take care of Leng Lan, but also help with some things.

Leng Lanzhi is responsible for formulating the general layout direction, and leaves the rest to the people below.

On this day, Liusha had just given instructions on how to decorate the manor, when Manager Meng, who was in charge of managing the warehouse, suddenly came: "Miss Liusha."

"Princess is taking a lunch break. Manager Meng, what's the matter? If it doesn't matter, you can come back later."

Manager Meng said: "I don't dare to disturb the princess. I just came to ask what to do with the paper kites that the princess brought back a few days ago."

Except for the things that Leng Lanzhi brings back from outside, except those that she particularly cherishes or has use for, the rest will be sent to the warehouse.

After returning from the outside, Liusha asked someone to take the kite to the warehouse.

This was not a big deal originally. The problem was that those paper kites were too ugly.

Manager Meng thought to himself, even if he closed his eyes and made the paper, it would still look better than these paper kites.

In fact, the main problem is not whether the paper kites are good-looking or not, but that the edges of the paper kites are not glued properly, and the paper used is not good. They are made of two pieces of waste paper stacked together, and there is nothing between the two pieces of paper. deal with.

Such a structure will cause problems if the wind blows, and it will most likely not be able to fly.

He was a little unsure for a moment. Did Miss Liusha take the wrong thing?

That’s why I came back to ask.

Liusha also thought of those paper kites. Naturally, she could see that the kites could not fly. She also knew that the princess did not buy the kites because she liked them, but just to help the couple without hurting Li Xueer's self-esteem. Poor sisters.

However, it was something given to the princess by Gu Diansi. No matter how common it was, she did not dare to throw it away: "Keep it properly."

Manager Meng responded. Although he was confused, he didn't ask any more questions.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the envoys from the Sea Kingdom arrived.

This time, a total of 28 envoys from the Sea Kingdom came. The third prince, Liu Yi, was in charge of leading the delegation, and the eighteenth prince, Xinsang, and Princess Pingzhao accompanied them.

That night, a reception banquet was held in the palace.

Leng Lanzhi put down the "Spring Plowing Illustrated Book" in his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

Liusha brought hot tea and said distressedly: "Princess, you have been too tired these past few days. Now that the envoys are coming, you have to receive Princess Pingzhao again, so you should put these things aside for now!"

Although farming is an important matter, it has nothing to do with the princess who is above her. Liusha thinks that the princess does not need to worry about it, she only needs to wait until the autumn harvest and collect the agricultural tax.

Besides, the most valuable thing in Haicheng is not the food, but the precious pearls!
"It's okay, idle is idle anyway."

Leng Lanzhi put down the book, but the scene of everyone in the court quarreling with red faces emerged in his mind.

The reason lies in the tribute brought by the Sea Kingdom envoys.

In addition to the precious specialties and pearls and jewelry from the sea country, the tribute also brought a fresh food - sweet potato.

Sweet potatoes are sweet and floury. They can be eaten raw or steamed as a main dish.

After the envoys from the Sea Kingdom presented the things, Da Sinong became very interested in sweet potatoes. He took the initiative to learn about the characteristics of sweet potatoes from the envoys, and learned that sweet potatoes did not have high requirements for the production environment and were drought and cold-resistant. The vitality is very tenacious.

Da Sinong immediately became angry, went to the palace to meet Emperor Jianliang, and proposed that Shengguo could introduce sweet potatoes.

Emperor Jianliang brought this proposal to the court for discussion.

Then, a quarrel broke out.Only a few courtiers thought that sweet potatoes could be introduced. After all, if this thing was as durable as the envoys claimed, part of the food problem could be solved after its introduction.

However, the opposition heard the news from somewhere and learned that sweet potatoes were a low-grade food only eaten by the poor in Haiguo, and they firmly opposed the distribution of sweet potatoes in Shengguo.

Above the court, there was a lot of quarrel.

As a gift, part of the sweet potatoes has been sent to the princess's mansion.

Leng Lanzhi immediately sent it to Renwen Lady and briefly told her how to cook it.

Yesterday's dinner had sweet potatoes, which tasted soft and she thought it was pretty good.

Moreover, it is very filling.

If this thing is really as easy to survive as the envoy from the Sea Kingdom said, it would be a good snack.

No matter what the "noble" courtiers think, she herself strongly agrees with the promotion of sweet potatoes.

Seeing that the reception banquet was about to begin, she packed up and prepared to enter the palace.

Qifeng Palace.

The queen looked at Leng Lanzhong's regular dress and felt helpless: "I have already met the eighteenth prince. His speech and behavior are all extraordinary, and his appearance is also first-rate."

Leng Lanzhi: "..."

"Mother, it's too early to say this." She was helpless.

After experiencing a one-off marriage, she is now very resistant to getting married.

"You are already 24 years old!"

The queen looked serious: "If you had a child, I wouldn't be in a hurry to rush you, but you haven't even had a child for several years after you were married! Now that your father and I are protecting you, you can Do whatever you want, and no one will dare to bully you."

"But when we wait a hundred years, who can you count on?"

"Although the prince is your elder brother, he cannot put you first in everything."

Leng Lanzhi had a headache, but looking at her mother's serious expression, she finally said no more words of rejection.

Let's meet. It doesn't mean that we agree to the marriage.

The reception banquet has not yet begun, and the hall is crowded with people.

The envoys arrived neither too early nor too late. The third prince Liuyi, the eighteenth prince Xinsang and Princess Pingzhao entered the hall surrounded by the envoys.

The third prince, Six Wings, looks decent, but his black eyes, which are not too many, occasionally move around, damaging his senses.

The angular face of the eighteenth prince Xinsang still has the baby fat that has not faded away, and he is full of boyishness.

The only drawback is that he is not very tall.

Most of the northern men were tall. Xinsang, standing next to the little eunuch responsible for welcoming them, was barely even with the bent little eunuch.

Of course, not only him, but also Third Prince Liuyi.

Princess Ping Zhao's figure is even petite, but not exaggerated. She is only about one finger shorter than the average Shengjing woman.

The two princes' seats were at the front of the men's seat, and Princess Pingzhao sat at the front of the women's seat. There was a wide and long red carpet between the men's and women's seats.

The eighteenth prince glanced vaguely at the female seat next door, and said in Hai Mandarin: "Third brother, do I really want to marry that old and ugly woman?"

When Gu Zhan came in, this was what he heard. (End of chapter)
