“Yes, not only Ran Yang, but also my uncle’s family, the servants in the mansion, the people in the clinic, the second prince, and even the patients in the clinic, I will personally make some and give them as gifts during festivals.

They like it just as much as you do.”

After hearing Jiang Qingyu's words, Xiao Jingyu's face became even worse.

He placed the cloth bag, which he had just regarded as a treasure, on the table beside him.

“It tastes just average, not that good.”

But Jiang Qingyu disagreed with him.

"How can it be!

After eating the food, they all begged me to open a shop.

They also said that as long as I sell it, they will buy it all.”

"Maybe Ran Yang hasn't learned it yet, so it's not as delicious as what you cook."

“Impossible, I taught Ran Yang myself, I tasted it, and it’s no different from what I made.

Later, when I was busy, whenever they wanted to eat, Ran Yang would cook for them.

They all said it tasted exactly the same and was delicious! ”

Seeing Jiang Qingyu being so sure, Xiao Jingyu's face showed a trace of hesitation.

"is it?

How about this, when you have time, make some and I’ll try it to see if it’s the same.”

Jiang Qingyu was eager to prove it, so she agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll do it when I get back, and see if it's the same."

After Jiang Qingyu finished speaking, Xiao Jingyu laughed.

Jiang Qingyu looked at his smile and suddenly realized something.

"You provoke me?

Did you say that on purpose, just because you want to eat what I made?"

Seeing that his purpose had been discovered, Xiao Jingyu nodded honestly.

"Yes, I want to eat what you cook.

They have all eaten it, even my second brother had it before me.

I'm jealous!"

When Xiao Jingyu mentioned his second brother Xiao Jingshi, he felt sour in his heart because his second brother spent more time with his wife and son than he did.

As a man, how could he not see what his second brother was thinking?

If he had not fallen in love with Jiang Qingyu in the past, his second brother would have given up on her.

But, it's impossible now!

No matter who it is, he will never admit defeat.

His wife and children are his, no one can take them away from him.

When Jiang Qingyu heard him emphasize the word "second brother", he hurried to explain.

"My second brother and I are innocent, don't think too much, I am just grateful to my second brother.

When we first met, we didn't know each other's identities.

We are just helping each other to establish ourselves in a foreign land.”

Seeing Jiang Qingyu's nervous explanation, Xiao Jingyu was afraid that he had misunderstood her, because he knew that she had him in her heart.

Moreover, there were five years in between. If they liked each other, they would have been together a long time ago.

"I understand that it's not easy for a woman like you to raise a child.

So, when I get back, I have to prepare a gift to thank my second brother for taking care of you and Ran'er."

Jiang Qingyu likes their current relationship very much, both sides will talk about anything.

This is much better than keeping it in your heart and letting others guess.

“Well, let’s go together.

By the way, when are we going back to Beijing?"

"The letter of surrender from Jing State has been sent to the capital. Now we just need to wait for their envoy to arrive, and then we will return to the capital."

After Jing Lin returned in disgrace, the Emperor of Jing State quickly sent an envoy, who arrived at the Qi State military camp that afternoon.

The news of victory is exciting.

So within two days, the news of victory reached the capital.

At that time, Eunuch Wang was just about to announce the "adjournment of court" when he heard the three words "good news" coming from afar.

The situation at the border is critical and Xiao Jingyu's whereabouts are unknown.

Therefore, the emperor issued an edict that any news from the border could be brought directly to the palace without reporting.

The soldiers wearing frontier armor came into the hall and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the emperor on the throne.

"Stop talking nonsense. What's the good news? Has His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi been found?"

Seeing that the emperor was so anxious and so nervous about His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, the soldiers no longer cared about those empty formalities.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is fine and has returned.

Moreover, Jing State has surrendered now. Here is the letter of surrender. Your Majesty, please take a look.

The envoy from Jing will accompany His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is afraid that you will be worried, so he specially sent me to report that you are safe."

The news brought by the soldiers was a double blessing for the emperor.

So he rewarded the soldier who came to report the news.

The emperor, who had originally planned to leave court, was no longer in a hurry to do so.

After the soldiers left, all the ministers knelt down to congratulate the emperor.

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty."

The emperor was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said that each minister who came today would receive a big gift.

The emperor is now old, and the time he will sit on the throne is counting down.

During his years in politics, he worked diligently and conscientiously. He did not rest even when he had a fever. He took medicine and went to court.

The people all praised him as a wise emperor, so he wanted to protect the country in his last days and then hand it over intact to his son.

The surrender of Jing State was good news and all the ministers present were very happy.

Just when everyone was immersed in joy, a minister stood up.

"Your Majesty, it is truly gratifying that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has accomplished such a great feat.

When His Highness returns, how should we reward him?"

The question asked by this minister was a very good one. Xiao Jingyu already had the highest status among all the princes. Above him was the crown prince. Xiao Jingyu's fiefdom was also the richest.

How to reward is indeed a question worth thinking about.

In fact, according to the emperor, he wanted Xiao Jingyu to be the crown prince.

It's not just because Xiao Jingyu is the son of him and his favorite concubine, the most important thing is that he is the most capable and competent son among all his sons.

He felt relieved to hand over the throne and the country to Xiao Jingyu.

The emperor did not answer the minister, but looked at Grand Tutor Zheng Mai.

"Master Zheng, how do you think we should reward him?

I want to hear your opinion."

Master Zheng didn't expect that the emperor would throw the question to him.

"Your Majesty, you are in your prime, so there is no need to rush the matter of appointing a crown prince.

Moreover, as a prince, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi should share His Majesty's worries and solve the problems of the people. This is what he should do.

I think if it were other princes, they would also defend the country at all costs.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is not a person who values ​​fame or wealth. He values ​​family affection more. When His Royal Highness comes back, I think His Royal Highness will be happier if you hold a few more banquets for him. "

After hearing what Zheng Mai said, the emperor cursed him harshly in his heart.

If the person who returned victorious this time was Xiao Jingyi, I'm afraid that his Grand Tutor Zheng would be the first to jump out and ask the emperor to appoint a crown prince.

The emperor held his forehead and sighed.

"Alas, a few days ago I went to the Queen's Palace, and the Queen saw that I was reviewing memorials until late at night and was very tired.

The Queen advised me not to work so hard and to appoint a capable prince as soon as possible to help me.

I have been thinking about this for several days.
