Chapter 761 Fan Wai Marries You, I Have No Regrets in This Life! (2)
Yan Wenzhen stroked her chest and thought to herself that she didn't know what other people were like, anyway, she would never be able to do it herself.

A rebellion against the palace finally ended with the loyal waiter Han Jianyuan leading his troops into the palace to protect the queen.The blood stains in front of the Tai Chi Gate were washed with water over and over again until there was no trace of killing on the neat and flat green brick floor.

Afterwards, the news of the victory in the west war came, and everyone knew that the emperor Anhao was about to return to Beijing, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This time during the forced palace, the princes and nobles who had been hiding deeply in the past days surfaced, how many dignitaries fell from their horses, how many heads fell to the ground, the young men of the Ninghou Mansion, Wei Yiyi and the Han family of the Zhongyihou Mansion suppressed the rebellion With meritorious service, the status of the family has leapt to a new height.

In the twelfth lunar month, the queen gave birth to twin princes. The emperor was very happy, and he pardoned the world and celebrated together.This good news is enough to suppress the bloody smell that King Heng's treason case brought to the imperial capital.Also because of this happy event, the New Year banquet this time should be different from the previous ones.

The queen was still in confinement, the emperor didn't let her worry about these things, so he handed over the New Year's banquet to Yan Wenzhen.

After several years of experience in the palace, and after this life-and-death event, Yan Wenzhen became more and more calm when speaking and doing things.The emperor entrusted her to take charge of such important matters as the state banquet, so she naturally had to cheer up and go all out.

"Mother Xu, here is the [-]-course menu I prepared for the New Year's banquet. Take a look, but there is nothing wrong with it." Yan Wenzhen sent a long list in front of Mother Xu.

Mother Xu squinted her eyes for a while, shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm old and faint, I can't read clearly, I'm afraid I can't help you. This year's banquet has a lot to do with it. Although you are calm and capable, this matter You really can't be careless, let me give you a trick, this ready-made person is in the palace! Why don't you go find her?"

"Are you talking about the third wife of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion?" Yan Wenzhen asked with a smile.

"Of course it's her! Who else will come besides her?" Mother Xu laughed.

Yan Wenzhen nodded with a chuckle: "Okay, I'll listen to Mammy, and I'll go to Madam's to ask for advice in the evening."

Wei Tiantian has been living in the palace to take care of the queen and raise her confinement, and Yan Wenzhen has been very close to her for a long time.It's just that there are many noble ladies and internal officials who come and go in and out of Fengzhang Hall on weekdays, and Yan Wenzhen is not too close to her because of his status.

In the evening, after the empress had fallen asleep, Yan Wenzhen quietly went to the small courtyard where Wei Tiantian lived.

Wei Tiantian was waiting to read a book, when she saw her coming in, he put down the book and said with a smile, "What delicious food did you bring me?"

"Wen Zhen cooked some sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice balls for Madam. It's cold and long night, Madam took care of the empress to sleep late, she must be hungry." Saying that, Yan Wenzhen put the food box in his hand on the table, and took out a The official kiln fills the white soup cup and puts it on the table.

The lid on the soup cup was lifted, and there were a dozen or so small glutinous rice balls inside. The candlelight was warm, and the sweetness of the glutinous rice balls was even warmer.Wei Tiantian smiled and said: "I was not hungry at first, but my stomach growled when I saw this. You just have this ability."

"Madam was joking." Yan Wenzhen hurriedly handed the spoon to Wei Tiantian's hand.

Wei Tiantian took it, ate two glutinous rice balls, looked up and smiled again: "I was talking to my sister yesterday, and I mentioned you by chance."

"...Huh?" Yan Wenzhen didn't expect that Wei Tiantian would suddenly mention Princess Wei Da, and felt anxious.

"My elder sister is a knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted person, because her brother-in-law has always loved her, but she just doesn't speak tactfully. In fact, she is very protective of you in her heart, and no one is allowed to say a bad word about you." Wei Tiantian laughed again. Said, "I just said that you are a bit bored, and you are two bored gourds with Jun Cong, which annoyed her and gave me a bad face. You know, my brothers and sisters have always They all love me very much. Except for my mother, my family has never yelled at me since I was a child. Now my sister is making an exception for you. "

Yan Wenzhen suddenly remembered that bloody night, the person who pushed herself to the ground to save her life. From that day on, she deeply understood that there are some people who kill people without blood, smiling at you, and turn around It will kill you, and some people will speak coldly or even berate you indifferently, but they will not hesitate to rescue you when life and death are at stake.Princess Wei Da is the latter type of person.So she said gratefully: "The princess's kindness to Wen Zhen is as great as a mountain, and Wen Zhen will never forget her kindness in his next life."

"Who told you kindness? I've told you so much, don't you understand what I mean?" Wei Tiantian smiled, "I just ask you, should the matter between you and Juncong be settled? ?Now your life-long affairs are naturally decided by the empress, if you nod, I will be the mediator, how about it?"

Yan Wenzhen blushed immediately, lowered her head and said, "I'm following the general's opinion on this matter."

Wei Tiantian ate another glutinous rice ball with a smile, and said, "Okay, then I'll ask him when I see him tomorrow. As an aunt, I have to eat the matchmaker wine from you two."

Yan Wenzhen remained silent, and when Wei Tiantian finished eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls, Fang got up to clean up the soup bowls himself.

"By the way, you came to see me so late, what's the matter?" Wei Tiantian took the handkerchief Lan Xiang handed over and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"What Madam said is that Wen Zhen has an important matter to ask Madam to advise." Yan Wenzhen took out the menu from his sleeve and handed it up with both hands, "Your Majesty has given Wen Zhen full control over the New Year's banquet, but Wen Zhen dare not preside over it. Make up your own mind. The empress is still in confinement and Wen Zhen dare not bother her. After thinking about it, only the madam can give advice to Wen Zhen. Please have mercy on me, madam."

"The New Year's banquet is indeed a big event, but your culinary skills, the emperor and the empress are very relieved." Wei Tiantian took the menu and opened it to look at it, and then asked in surprise: "Many new dishes have the same name. It means good luck, but I have never seen it before. Is it your new dish?"

Yan Wenzhen replied: "Yes, in the past few years in the palace, I took advantage of my spare time to slowly make some dishes that were not prepared in Yan's recipes before. Naturally, I made improvements from the original ingredients. Because it is a New Year's banquet, the name is more auspicious, and it makes people feel happy when they look at it."

"...Do you mean that the [-] dishes are all from your Yan family?" Wei Tiantian asked in surprise.

"Yes." Yan Wenzhen replied.

"This is really unexpected." Wei Tiantian lowered his head and carefully looked at the names of the dishes on the menu, and asked about those dishes whose ingredients could not be seen from the names of the dishes.

Yan Wenzhen answered one by one, and said: "If Madam is free, I will make these dishes for Madam tomorrow."

"Wow!" Wei Tiantian nodded immediately, then pondered again: "Wouldn't it be better if you could invite His Majesty and Empress to taste it together?"
