Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 44; The benefactor doesn’t come
"Yao Yao, your father and second brother should still be on duty at this time. Let's go to the palace to thank you first and then go home later. How about we stay in the capital tonight?"

Hearing this, Huo Junyao shook her head and said, "Mom, I still have things to do, and I can't stay here tonight."

"Okay, let's thank you later. Mom will send someone to notify your father and second brother to go home."

"They are also worried about you, so you always have to meet and reassure them."

"Okay, then I will trouble my mother."

Seeing her daughter's promise, Princess Ningyang showed a smile on her face and reached out to touch Huo Junyao's head.

"What are you being polite to my mother?"

Soon, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace. Princess Ningyang handed over her identity card, and the palace guards immediately let her go.

After getting off the carriage, Princess Ningyang called over a young chamberlain and handed him the tofu and fish soup prepared for the emperor.

"Send it to the Emperor and say that it was done by Princess Zhaode herself. Thank you for the reward."

Originally, she planned to take her daughter there to thank her in person.

As a result, the imperial brother did not do human affairs, and the imperial decree of marriage was not issued sooner or later. But at this time, didn't he stab his daughter in the chest?

So it would be nice to be given a serving of fish soup. Don’t even think about it if people come over to say thank you.

After the waiter took it, he responded repeatedly.

The eldest princess Ningyang took Huo Junyao directly to the inner palace. The gatekeeper was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. She did not stop her and quickly arranged for someone to report to the queen.

The eldest princess Ningyang has a distinguished status and can always enter and leave the palace freely.

"Huh? Ning Yang is here? And he's bringing Princess Zhaode with him?"

Queen Shen was very surprised, and there was a smile on her face that had been stern today.

"Hurry up and tell the imperial dining room to add more good meals."

It was already approaching noon, and lunch for all the masters of the palace was almost ready in the imperial dining room.

Empress Shen has always been thrifty, so her usual meals are relatively ordinary and not large in quantity.

I don’t want to be like some noble people who have dozens or hundreds of delicacies in one meal.

Soon, Princess Ningyang and her daughter arrived at Fengqi Palace. Aunt Zhou, the queen's first lady in charge, had been waiting at the entrance of the palace. When she saw the two coming, she quickly stepped forward to salute and say hello.

"The Queen asked me to wait here to welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Princess."

Princess Ningyang nodded.

Then he followed Aunt Zhou into Fengqi Palace.

"Ningyang has met the emperor's sister-in-law."

"My daughter Huo Junyao has met the Queen."

"Ouch, stop saluting and get up."

Empress Shen stood up as she spoke, helped Huo Junyao up herself, and said with a smile on her face, "You kid, don't call me Queen from now on, just call me aunt."

"Thank you auntie."

Hearing that she had changed her title obediently, the smile on Queen Shen's face became a little brighter.

He pulled her to the edge and sat down, then a guilty look appeared on his face.

"Child, aunt is sorry for you, your cousin"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a distinguished status, which is beyond the reach of ministers. Auntie, you have good intentions. Jun Yao does not blame you."

What kind of bullshit cousin, even if he is related by blood, she will not admit it at all.

Empress Shen also heard the clarification of the prince in her words. Chou Chou called herself aunt, and the prince meant his highness. This was because she did not intend to recognize this cousin.

But she also knew in her heart that these cousins ​​would probably not have any contact in the future.

"Sister-in-law, don't talk about this. Come and see what Yaoyao has brought for you."

Sensing that the conversation was inappropriate, Princess Ningyang quickly stood up and took a food box from Aunt Zhao that was kept warm with a cushion inside.

"Oh? Yaoyao brought it to her aunt? You need to take a good look at it."

Empress Shen stood up with a smile and walked over. Along with Princess Ningyang, she carefully took out the jar containing the tofu and fish soup from the food box and placed it on the table.

Unlock the lid and a tantalizing aroma spreads. "Sister-in-law, this is the tofu and fish soup that Yaoyao cooked before dawn today. She took it off the fire just before departure. It's just right to drink now. You can try it. It's very delicious."

Empress Shen was very happy when she heard that it was made by Huo Junyao herself and that she started making it before dawn.

You can also feel this feeling.

"Then you have to try it."

As she spoke, she took the spoon and took a sip. Queen Shen's eyes lit up.

"It tastes good. It's just like what Ning Yang said, it's very delicious."

Then, she looked at Huo Junyao, her eyes were extremely satisfied, but of course she couldn't help but feel regretful in her heart. She was such a good niece, why didn't she have the chance to become her daughter-in-law.

"Yao Yao is determined."

"As long as aunt likes it, if there is a chance in the future, Jun Yao will cook other delicious food for aunt."

"Oh? What else can Yaoyao do?"

Huo Junyao smiled and nodded: "I know a little bit, and I will let my aunt try it when I have the opportunity."

"well."

The atmosphere immediately improved a lot.

"Nanny Zhou, go and ask the emperor to come over and try Yaoyao's craftsmanship."

Aunt Zhou responded and was about to leave when she was stopped by Princess Ningyang.

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to call. I've already sent someone over there."

Later, she couldn't help complaining that the emperor was not good at doing things, they all knew about the marriage, and they heard a lot of unpleasant things on the way here.

After hearing this, Queen Shen immediately understood that Ning Yang was unhappy, and after thinking about it, she also started to attack the emperor.

Of course, in the end, he did not forget to explain the emperor's method to Huo Junyao.

"Yao Yao, don't blame your uncle. He is helpless. After all, Zhao Yan'er is the daughter of Cao Guogong. Cao Guogong also made a lot of contributions to the establishment of the Yu Dynasty. It's hard to let him feel cold."

"Jun Yao understands and naturally won't blame the emperor's uncle."

More importantly, she still didn't dare. He was the emperor, and he would also be her biggest supporter in the future. Why should she blame him? It was too late to flatter him.

"You are sensible."

Afterwards, several people chatted for a while, and then Princess Ningyang spoke up and said that she had to go to the Supreme Emperor to deliver tofu and fish soup.

Empress Shen didn't want to continue to persuade her to stay, so she thought for a while and said, "I may not have visited the Supreme Emperor for a long time, so I will go there with you today."

Then the group left Fengqi Palace and headed towards Da'an Palace.

At the same time, outside the royal study, the little chamberlain holding a food box found Gao Fu and told him the story.

"Leave the things to our family."

Then, he carried the food box and turned around and entered the imperial study room.

Emperor Zhaowu was handling government affairs. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Gao Fu carrying a food box, and was slightly startled.

"Is it time to eat?"

"It's only half an hour before I get back to the emperor. This is the soup sent by Princess Ningyang and Princess Zhaode. It's said that Princess Zhaode got up before dawn and cooked the soup with her own hands."

"Oh?"

Emperor Zhaowu's eyes lit up, he put down the memorial and stood up.

"Bring it over quickly and let me have a look."

Gao Fu quickly walked over with his things and carefully placed the food box on the desk.

"What else did Ning Yang say?"

"The eldest princess said that this is a thank you for the emperor's reward."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu was startled, frowned and said, "This Ningyang is really becoming more and more unruly. No one even comes to thank Xie En."
