The beauty of West Lake in Zhejiang is famous all over the world, and there are many delicacies here, such as West Lake lotus root powder, West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing tea fragrant chicken, tea fragrant shrimp, crabapple crisps, scallion wrapped juniper, oily winter children, wonton dumplings, butter cakes, Pianerchuan, Laoya Pot... Among them, West Lake lotus root noodles and West Lake vinegar fish are famous.West Lake lotus root powder is very finely ground, and it can be eaten after being made into a paste with hot water. It tastes mellow and nourishes the blood and appetizers.

West Lake Vinegar Fish is cooked with grass carp, dipped in sweet and sour, the fish is tender, and the taste is sweet and sour.

After the two arrived in Zhejiang Province, they first found an inn to live in. Shen Xian asked for a first-class room, and then asked for a room for the two coachmen.Back in the room, Shen Xian asked Xiaoer for hot water, and when he came in, Yuzhu laughed at him lying on the couch, "I told you not to bring your maid, you have to run errands yourself for everything right now."

"With me here, you don't have to worry." Shen Xian helped her put the suitcase on the table aside first, walked to the couch and sat down, hugging him in his arms, "Later, Xiao Er will bring hot water in, you first Freshen up and go down to eat, what do you want to eat?"

Yuzhu rested on his lap, "I want to eat West Lake Vinegar Fish. I heard that this is a famous delicacy in Zhejiang Province. It is famous all over the world. What else is there? , Garlic razor clam eel, fish head pancakes, West Lake water shield soup, I want to try them all.”

Shen Xian smoothed her hair with his hands, "Okay, it's all up to you."

Xiao Er quickly brought up several buckets of hot water. The bathtub in the superior room was very big, and it was no problem to accommodate two people. Yuzhu was held in Shen Xian's arms to help her freshen up. At noon, Yuzhu deliberately picked out a begonia-colored golden white butterfly tangled flower skirt. Her skin was more than snow, and she did not apply any rouge and gouache on her face. She only smeared some homemade lip gloss on her lips. Sweet, with a touch of plum blossoms on her forehead, just such a slight change made her look stunning and unparalleled.

When she came out, Shen Xian's eyes paused for a moment, his heart was pounding, but he was also a little unhappy. She was dressed too beautifully, so she might attract too much attention when she went out like this. He didn't like other men staring at Jiaojiao.

"What's the matter, isn't it good-looking?" Yuzhu noticed that his eyes were a little dull, thinking that he didn't like her attire.She lowered her head and looked at the skirt on her body. It was very delicate and the material was very comfortable. Her skin was more tender and fairer against the begonia color.This is the first time for the two of them to go out for fun, and she hopes to dress up better.

"It looks good." Shen Xian said, "Let's go out and eat something first."

There is a Guangyuan Restaurant in Zhejiang Province. The chef inside is the most famous chef in Zhejiang Province. I heard that he is the apprentice of the royal chef in the palace. He has never entered the palace. He stayed in Guangyuan Restaurant as a chef. There were a lot of people eating, and sometimes they had to reserve a seat in advance, but Shen Xian led Yuzhu there directly, presumably someone had made a reservation before.

This inn is not far from Guangyuan Restaurant, and it takes less than half an hour to walk there.Shen Xian took Yuzhu out the door, and as soon as she went down to the second floor, the diners on the first floor looked at Yuzhu with astonishment. Her appearance was rare in the capital, and it was even rarer to see her here.

Walking out of the inn, Shen Xian pursed his lips tightly, passed by a place selling veiled hats, and picked one for Yuzhu, "Take this with you."

Yuzhu took the belt obediently, covered her face with tulle, so it was difficult to see her face, and Shen Xian's expression became more relaxed.The two went to Guangyuan Restaurant for dinner. Yuzhu ordered several famous Zhejiang dishes, and she was afraid that she would not be able to finish them if she ordered too many. Anyway, she would stay in Zhejiang for several days, and she was not in a hurry to meet them at this time. Taste the famous dishes of Zhejiang.

The West Lake Vinegar Fish lives up to its reputation, sweet and sour and tender. Longjing Tea Fragrant Chicken is also fragrant and delicious. The old duck is fragrant and tender, nourishing yin and reducing dryness. There is also a pure and delicious West Lake water shield soup. She is very happy to eat it. I ate a lot and used a bowl full of rice.

After lunch, Shen Xian took her to the West Lake. The beauty of the West Lake is really stunning, the red clothes and green fans reflect the clear waves, and there are large lotus leaves and lotus flowers beside it. There are boats for rent next to it. play in.In the depths of the West Lake, there are many painting boats parked, only open at night, but the West Lake at night has a different kind of beauty.

Shen Xian rented a small boat, took Yuzhu off the boat and rowed towards the depths of the lotus. It was still August, and it was a bit muggy. When entering the depths of the lotus pond, there was a cool breeze blowing slowly.Yuzhu was sitting on the twig, hugging her knees and looking at Shen Xian who was rowing the boat.

When he reached the depths of the lotus, the boat was hard to find. Shen Xian stopped the oars, put them aside, and sat down beside Yuzhu. He pulled her into his arms and let her pillow on his lap.Looking around like this, the blue sky, the lush and green lotus pond, and the jade beads are lazily pillowed on his lap, which is very comfortable.

Shen Xian didn't say a word, enjoying the rare beauty.

In such a sweltering weather, covered by the shadow of lotus leaves and a gentle breeze, Yuzhu fell asleep comfortably after a while, and it was the end of Shen Shi when she woke up. She rubbed her eyes, but she didn't realize where she was for a while , just felt like a dream, and it took a while to wake up completely, seeing that she was still pressed on Shen Xian's lap, she hurriedly got up, she looked at Shen Xian, slightly embarrassed, "husband, your leg is okay." He slept for so long, his legs would be numb due to lack of blood circulation.

"It's nothing." Shen Xian said, "It's getting late, let's go back to the inn first." When he practiced martial arts, he naturally didn't take this point seriously. When he was a child, it took him several hours to perform a horse stance.

After dinner, Yuzhu was a little tired. She originally wanted to see the West Lake in the dark, but had to wait until the second night, when the two of them rented a painting boat to cruise the night lake. There are only one boatman and the two of them on the painting boat, Yuzhu stands on the deck watching the night scene, Shen Xian embraces her, she has a faint fruity fragrance, he bows his head and kisses her earlobe lightly, Yuzhu laughed out loud, and looked back at him, Shen Xian bit her lips, and there was still sweet lip gloss on her lips, which he swallowed up.

In the next few days, the two traveled all over Zhejiang. There are still ten scenic spots in Zhejiang. Summer comes with a different flavor.

Yuzhu feels that these few days are almost her happiest time, reborn in such an era, she can still be so lucky, she is grateful and cherishes it.

It was mid-August when I returned to the capital, and the weather was not so hot, and it was even a bit chilly at night.As soon as Shen Xian returned to Beijing, she was called to the palace. Yuzhu was sorting things out in the palace. She brought back a lot of special products from Zhejiang, including several maidservants. There was a lot of food left over to send to the Jiang family, and some Cloth and jewelry were even sent to Jiahe and Ji Shi, but she didn't dare to give away food casually.

Shen Xian went to the palace, Yuzhu arranged everything properly, first went to greet Jiahe, Jiahe was a little indifferent, and asked someone to serve tea before telling Yuzhu, "Axian likes you very much, now I don't ask for anything else, I just hope Hurry up and give birth to Ah Xian's child, you also know that he is not young, how old are other men's children at this time, Yuzhu, you can fulfill your mother's wish."

In fact, Yuzhu doesn't really want to have a baby so soon. Although Shen Xian is several years older than her, she is only in her twenties now. In her previous life, she was very young, and she was only 15 years old.But she also knows that the times are different, so she can only accept it, "What mother said is true, I will remember it."

Jiahe looked hesitant to speak, and looked at her belly several times, and finally said nothing, waved her away.

Yuzhu knew what the princess mother-in-law meant. She felt that she had been married for more than half a year and hadn't conceived yet, so there was something wrong with her body.Yuzhu doesn't think there is anything wrong with her body, it's better to let nature take its course.

When Shen Xian came back at night, he told Yuzhu that he would go on a long trip in two days. Yuzhu knew that he was very busy helping the emperor, so she could only tell him to be careful on the road. He left, and looking at his receding figure, she felt a little bit reluctant.

Fortunately, Shen Xian came back a month later, the weather had completely cooled down, and he needed to wear thin pants.

Such a leisurely and comfortable time seemed to pass very quickly, and it was November in the blink of an eye. It was already the end of autumn, and it was time to put on a thin jacket.The wintersweet in Shen's mansion also sprouted buds, and in one month it will be in bloom, this golden silk wintersweet is very rare, at that time Shen's mansion will hold a banquet and invite acquaintances to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers.

Before the flower viewing period in Shen's mansion, the palace posted a post first, that the Empress Dowager is sixty years old, and will hold a palace banquet for her birthday, inviting civil and military officials and their family members to the palace to participate in the birthday banquet.

After receiving the golden lacquer-rimmed post, Yuzhu became worried. The Empress Dowager celebrated her birthday, and the mansion was about to start preparing the congratulatory gifts, and there was only half a month left.She remembered that there was a good piece of red jadeite in Zhuyu Pavilion, and she planned to find someone to carve it into the shape of a birthday peach and present it to the Queen Mother.

Apart from the Shen residence, the Jiang residence is also on the list.

In mid-November, the longevity peach was carved and inlaid on the gold-threaded sinking wood base with both blessings and longevity. It is also a rare birthday gift.

Today the Shen family is going to the palace, Jiahe, Shen Lin, Ji, Yuzhu and Shen Xian.Ji's family is only an aunt, and she was not qualified originally, but her natal family is also in the Hou's House, so the people in the palace have to give the Hou's House a little bit of trouble.

When they arrived at the palace, many people had already arrived, and there were quite a few people. The Queen Mother's 60th birthday was a big birthday, so there must be a big celebration.

Yuzhu first quietly ran over to visit Yuning and Xiaotuanzi. Yuning's eldest son, Zhao Qi, was several years old and looked like a little adult. He sat quietly beside Yuning. Give him some small gifts, and go to hug Xiaotuanzi, Xiaotuanzi is only eight months old, has just erupted a few deciduous teeth, fleshy, Yuzhu went to hug her, she grabbed Yuzhu's hand and wanted to chew.

Yuning smiled and said, "She is teething, and she wants to take a bite of everything she sees."

Yuzhu took Xiaotuanzi with a smile, Zhao Qi looked at her nervously, and kept telling her, "Auntie, be careful, don't drop Xiaotuanzi."

It seems that the little guy is very rare about his sister.

Before the emperor and the empress dowager arrived, the hall was a little loose, talking together in twos and threes.

Concubine Mu Gui and the third prince had already arrived. Concubine Mu Gui looked at Yuning almost resentfully. She hated that the prince already had a son and a daughter, but the concubines of the third prince didn't even have a big belly.
