Hidden golden branches

"Eh? Auntie Imperial Concubine, look, why are the eyes of this phoenix still empty?" Chen Rong was amazed and asked after discovering the problem.

Seeing this, Qiu Xiu Niang held back her smile and said, "County Master, the eyes of this phoenix must be left for the bride to embroider."

"Haha." Chen Wanru and Aunt Mo couldn't help laughing.

"Ah?" Chen Rong blushed instantly with embarrassment.

After everyone was happy, Chen Wanru ordered someone to go inside to try on Chen Rong's wedding dress.

When Chen Rongshen came over wearing a festive and exquisite wedding dress, Chen Wanru's eyes lit up and she took a closer look, eh? It really fits.

Chen Wanru looked at the bright and beautiful Chen Rong in her wedding dress in front of her, and was filled with emotion. The little girl who was so young back then is now about to get married.
Chen Wanru nodded with red eyes, and then said happily: "Well, that's great. On the wedding day, our Rong'er will be the most beautiful bride in Wei Dynasty!"

"Yes, that's right"

In the hall, everyone echoed in unison. Chen Wanru also became happy. There was joy and laughter in Minghua Palace.

After Qiu Xiu Niang left, a young eunuch came in, bowed to greet her, and replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ji from Dali Temple is here to pick up the Lord of Jiahe County."

Hey, it has been an hour before I knew it.

Brother Ji is really on time.

"Rong'er, the prince is here to pick you up, so my aunt won't keep you here." Chen Wanru curled her lips and said after hearing the little eunuch's report.

Fortunately, Prince Anguo is still kind to Rong Er. Unlike Sun Yi, who saw Rong'er and treated her like no one.

Chen Rong said goodbye to the imperial concubine and came back. After leaving the warm spring palace, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing over him and couldn't help but tighten his white fox cloak.

Her action was seen by Ji Yuxian who was waiting in front of the Minghua Palace. He took off his black fur cloak and took two steps, put the cloak on Chen Rong's small body, tied her neckband, and then put Chen Rong on Wrapping Rong's little hands, he still asked with concern: "Rong'er, are you cold?"

"It's not cold." Chen Rong agreed crisply.

It was a little cold just now, but it won't be cold when I put on your cloak.

When they arrived in front of Chen's residence, Ji Yuxian took Chen Rong's little hand and went to the Fuyi Hall in the main courtyard with ease, and had dinner with Chen Rong's parents.

Since Chen Zhao was released, Ji Yuxian would come to Chen's house for dinner almost every day.

If he wasn't busy with official duties, he would have lunch and dinner at Chen's house.

The Chen family members were also happy to see him come to dine, and the dining table was almost filled with his favorite dishes.

Yun Man looked lovingly at Ji Yuxian, who was gentle and chewing slowly, feeling happy and sad at the same time.

In a few years, my daughter will get married, and from now on, the old couple will be left alone and dependent on each other.
At the beginning of winter, Emperor Hui led his civil and military ministers to the northern suburbs of the capital to welcome the winter and held a ceremony to welcome the winter. Emperor Hui Xiao Xuan not only crowned the princes when their princes came of age, but also trained the newly minted prince Xiao Jinchen. Examine the prince's ability to manage court affairs and assign some tasks to the princes to assist Xiao Jinchen.

Last year, there was a slight flaw in the sacrifice to heaven. Emperor Hui was furious, and all the officials related to it were dismissed and convicted.

This year, Emperor Hui appointed the second prince Ning Wang Xiao Jinchi to assist the prince in supervising the ceremony.

Because the prince is still young, he cannot take on this responsibility alone. After all, Xiao Jinchi had been on the battlefield and had a rigorous work style. He was ready and went over it with the Minister of Rites and others to make sure there were no omissions.

During the ceremony for Emperor Huidi, the army was heavily guarded to protect the emperor's safety.

Emperor Hui took the prince's family and the civil and military officials to the outskirts of Kyoto. Everything went well and nothing happened. The imperial censor, together with the officials of Taichang Temple, went on inspection tours. Anyone who accompanied the worship, deacons, or officials, and anyone who salivated, coughed, talked, laughed, or made noise in the altar and temple, regardless of clan, ministers, or officials, would be named to participate.

In a blink of an eye, it was Laba porridge. On this day, as usual, the palace had to cook Laba porridge to give to others. The palace also sent people to deliver Laba porridge early in the morning. Yun Man asked Mingzhu to divide the Laba porridge in the palace and send the rest to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. .

For the people of the Wei Dynasty, everyone with a little wealth has their own way of making Laba porridge.

It was rare this year that Chen Rong got interested and ambitiously wanted to create the recipe of Laba porridge at Qi's house. He read books and looked for some ancient recipes several days in advance. Then he followed Cuizhu's idea and asked Wen Niang in the kitchen to follow the recipe. Zi tried to make a lot of them and gave them to the girls and women in Jinxiu Courtyard.

As a result, on the day of Laba, when people in Jinxiuyuan heard the word Laba porridge, they secretly realized that their stomachs would not be able to bear it even if they ate too much of the best food.

The two nuns from the palace who were invited by the mansion to train the dowry will also go back to the palace after today.

Chen Rong read this and said: "Yuzhu, ask Zhui'er to send a few bowls of Laba porridge to Shutong Courtyard for the two old ladies to eat."

"Okay." Yu Zhu agreed and went to find Zhui'er.

Chen Rong asked Cuizhu to fill several cans of Laba porridge in four-series cans with purple gold glaze, and personally delivered them to Fuyi Hall for his parents to try.

Laba porridge was cooked early in the big kitchen of Fu'antang, not only for the masters, but also for the servants in the entire mansion.

Therefore, everyone in the kitchen got up in the middle of the night to prepare ingredients. Start a big fire and start a big stove to stew the Laba porridge.

Today, except for the servants of Jinxiuyuan, everyone in the mansion is looking forward to eating this bowl of Laba porridge.

Yun Man also knew that Chen Rong was cooking Laba porridge every day in the yard, so she didn't have to wait for Chen Rong to come to her place for breakfast.

When Chen Youyu came over from the study, Yun Man said, "Mingzhu, go prepare the meal."

"Okay." Mingzhu agreed crisply, turned around and left Dongnuan Pavilion.

Mingzhu is also looking forward to today's Laba porridge. It is said that in addition to chestnuts and raisins, today's Laba porridge is added.

I heard that these raisins are not the usual cyan and purple ones, but also yellow and red ones.
Today is off, Ji Yuxian got up early and went to the martial arts training ground to do a set of boxing and sword dancing for a while. After bathing, she changed into a set of indigo-blue gold-threaded trousers, and wore a moon-white jade-inlaid belt around her waist. Go straight to the study to handle official business.

Ji Yuxian picked up the urgent matter and looked up to see the copper hourglass in the corner. Seeing that the time was approaching Chen Shi, he hurriedly told Qingfeng outside the study: "Go to the stable and bring the black panther over."

The breeze outside the study agreed: "Okay!" Then he looked towards Mingyue, what does it mean, 'I have no bath today, it's Laba again, the prince has to go out without breakfast? '

Mingyue glanced at him, she was really a dull-headed person, she hated iron and said: "Why don't you hurry up and lead the prince's horse!"

Eh? Who is he?

Qingfeng scratched his head as he walked, really confused.

In this room, Yunman looked at the maids setting out the meal and couldn't help but glance towards the door.

Chen Youyu knew what she was waiting for and couldn't help but smile: "Mother, the prince is not coming. Today is both Xiu Mu and Laba. If he comes, he will probably come for lunch."

As soon as Chen Youyu finished speaking, he saw the door curtain being lifted, revealing a smiling little head.

Laba porridge must be eaten during Laba. Chen Rong said: "Everyone in the house will eat the Laba porridge I made."
