After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Only three days after the birthday banquet, the news that the emperor had arranged a marriage for the fifth prince spread throughout the palace and even the entire capital.

People from all walks of life, including the common people in the capital, were discussing this marriage.

"The current emperor has arranged a marriage for the fifth son, Prince of Qi Xia Chen, and the woman is actually from the family of the former Imperial Censor, Lord An."

"This Lord An has resigned from office for a long time, and his family only has one eldest son who is currently serving as the Supervisory Censor-in-Chief, who is only a seventh-rank official."

"How can the daughter of the An family be the Princess of Qi?"

"With so many noble ladies, why did Concubine Li Shu fall for Miss An?"

"You probably don't know yet, but this completely unequal marriage was only possible after Concubine Li Shu begged the Emperor for two days!"

......

At this time, Shen Yuyao was also waiting for news in Yuxiu Palace.

The only rumor in the palace was that the Emperor had arranged a marriage for the Fifth Prince with a woman from Lord An's family, but there was no accurate information as to which daughter of Lord An's was the marriage.

"Princess, I finally found out! Phew..."

The head maid Zi Su was probably walking too fast and was panting.

"Your Majesty, the one the Majesty has arranged for the Prince of Qi to marry is the eldest daughter of the An family, An Zhizhen!"

Shisu's little face is rosy.

"It's her?" Shen Yuyao raised her finger and rubbed her eyebrows. It seemed that Concubine Li Shu had taken the lead!

After the birthday banquet that day, Shen Yuyao wrote a letter to the Duke's wife overnight, asking her mother to send someone to Lord An's mansion to propose marriage as soon as possible.

The one who is going to propose marriage is this An Zhizhen.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Li Shu had already requested for a marriage in a hurry.

It seems that the fourth brother's marriage is going to be a headache again!

Speaking of Shen Yiyi's marriage, it was indeed a bit tortuous.

When Shen Yiyi was young, he was betrothed to the second daughter of Chen, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Not long after the Duke resigned from his official position, Lord Chen's family came to cancel the engagement because Shen Yiyi had an affair with a woman of a foreign race.

At that time, this matter was impeached in the court by the censors who wanted to frame the Duke's Mansion.

This even led to the Duke being reprimanded by the Emperor.

In fact, this so-called foreign woman was just someone Shen Yiyi met on the streets of Beijing when he “rescued a beauty”.

After that, there was no more contact, let alone any unclear matters.

Then, the Duke resigned and Shen Yiyi missed the exam and dropped out of school.

As a result, Shen Yiyi has now become a nobleman that no one in the capital is willing to marry!

A few days ago, at the Fifth Prince's birthday banquet, he finally found a date who was also from a good family and had resigned from office. However, Concubine Li Shu got there first!

Ugh!

Time is also fate!

"The Prince of Qi is currently quarreling with Concubine Li Shu in Changchun Palace. I guess he is unwilling to marry this young lady!"

Shiso continued.

"The emperor has issued the decree. It is useless for the Prince of Qi to make a fuss."

"The maid in the Queen's palace said that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has already matched the horoscopes and picked a date. The wedding will be next month!"

"After the wedding, the King of Qi will also go to the vassal state."

Shen Yuyao shook her head secretly.

It seems that her fourth brother has to look for someone else.

[Beautiful mother, I really want to go out and play! ]

[The market I went to last time was very lively. ]

[This palace is too quiet and boring! ]

Shen Yuyao looked at Xia Xiaoxian who was standing by the railing and looking out the window.

The baby is only ten months old, but his eyes are filled with resentment and longing!

Yes, even she, a woman who had long been accustomed to living in seclusion, felt that the palace was cold and boring.

Little Xianbao is still a playful and curious child, it’s time to take her out of the palace for a walk.

......

Capital city, Shangheji.

It was noon, in the No. 1 private room of Zuixianlou, Shen Yuyao and Xu Yunxuan, dressed in men's clothing, were sitting at the table tasting the restaurant's specialties.

Shen Yuyao specially requested to place a small square table in front of the window. Zi Su and Bai Zhi were serving the little fairy treasure his meal.

There you can enjoy your meal while taking in the bustle and bustle of the capital city.

The Zuixianlou is the largest restaurant in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, and its business is booming.

The money they spent on dining at Tianzi No. 1 was enough for an ordinary family to eat for a year or two.

Shen Yuyao ordered four dishes: Frog with Mushrooms, Pufferfish with Double Peppers, Three Things in the Four Seas, and Nine Heavens Coiled Dragon.

Among them, Nine Heavens Coiled Dragon and Four Seas and Three Events are the most famous!

The dish Jiutian Panlong is made with lean pork, fat pork, fresh fish fillet, egg white, mung bean powder, green onion, pepper, salt and other ingredients.

The chef will first chop the fish into minced meat, then filter it with gauze, mix the seasonings, wrap it with egg skin, and finally arrange it into a coiled dragon shape and steam it in a cage.

This dish not only looks good but also tastes great, it melts in your mouth and is one of the must-have dishes at official banquets in the capital!

The dish "Four Seas and Three Things" is made by mixing four kinds of seafood, namely lobster, sea cucumber, abalone and shark's fin, with three common ingredients, namely fat hen, beef tendon and pork tripe. After adding seasoning, it is simmered on low heat for half a day.

Xia Xiaoxian’s favorite is this dish, she enjoys eating it very much!

"In our world, this is called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. I didn't expect you have it here too!"

Xu Yunxuan had only seen "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" in books and on TV, but had never actually tasted it.

Today I can say that I have tasted the most authentic traditional “Buddha Jumps Over the Wall”. If I could bring it back to her original world, it would surely become popular throughout the city!

"Princess, where I grew up, there is a kind of food that is not found in the entire Great Xia Dynasty!"

"Are there any foods that are not available in the palace?"

There was a hint of doubt in Shen Yuyao's eyes.

"Hot pot! Did you know?"

"We have a stove on the table, a soup pot on top of it, slice all kinds of meat into thin slices, and use sesame oil, sesame paste, chili peppers, chopped green onions, etc. to make a seasoning dip. When the soup boils, put the slices in the soup until cooked and eat with the seasoning."

"It's delicious! If you can come to our place, I will definitely take you to eat hot pot!"

Xu Yunxuan was very excited when she spoke about this. It seemed that in her world, she loved eating this hotpot very much!

"A stove with a soup pot on top, for eating by boiling water?"

Shen Yuyao was listening intently, thinking about it in her heart, and suddenly she remembered.

Isn’t this the “antique soup” from the Great Xia Dynasty?

"Yunxuan, this is called antique soup in our Great Xia Dynasty!"

Shen Yuyao smiled.

"This is the daily diet of officials in the Great Xia Dynasty after winter. Because the food makes a gurgling sound when put into boiling water, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty call it the antique soup!"

According to Xu Yunxuan, she was brought here after Xu was about to give birth. She first stayed in confinement and then was confined to her room!

By the time she was able to move around freely, it was already spring and flowers were in bloom. The palace had never made antique soup, so Xu Yunxuan had never seen it before.

Now that winter is almost here, I must find some time to go to Yuxiu Palace and make an antique soup for Xu Yunxuan to see!

Although they belong to two different worlds, they are related to each other.

The two of them ate and talked and laughed, telling each other what they imagined about each other's world.

Zi Su and Bai Zhi couldn't help but smile at each other. Shouldn't these be two concubines fighting to the death for favor?

Now they look like a pair of close friends who have known each other for a long time.

After Princess Xiaoxian had eaten and drunk her fill, she sat by the railing and danced towards the people downstairs.

He kept babbling something in his mouth.

【Ah, the biggest villain of the Great Xia Dynasty is here! 】

[Mother, can you believe that this villain can kill the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and the Queen? ]

[Also almost let the scumbag father die in Youzhou! 】
