After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Concubine Ning pretended to pull the emperor, "Your Majesty, it's already late. It won't be too late to issue an order tomorrow."

The emperor walked away, and Concubine Ning lay back on the bed, smiling triumphantly.

As daybreak approached, the Prince of Qi's mansion began to get busy.

The servants were busy pulling the items to be sold to the back door for registration.

Eunuch An came to visit.

"Master, get up quickly, someone is coming from the palace!"

Jinzhi and Yuzhi hurriedly dug Shen Yunjin out of the bed.

Huh? What is the purpose of the visitor from the palace? Shen Yunjin, who was still asleep, was confused.

The two maids quickly changed Shen Yunjin's clothes and put on her makeup.

"Thank you for keeping me waiting!" Shen Yunjin showed guilt on his face as he entered the door.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's rare for us to have some free time." Eunuch An smiled kindly.

"Mrs. Shen, please listen to the decree: By the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: The King of Qi is loyal and diligent, and his conduct is commendable. I hereby grant him a pair of jadeite green smoke bracelets, ten pieces of palace silk, a hectoliter of oriental pearls, and one thousand taels of silver. I hereby decree this."

Ah? The Emperor sent money to the King of Qi? Or when the King of Qi was not at home?

Shen Yunjin felt that he must not have woken up yet.

"Concubine Shen, please accept the order!" Eunuch An reminded with a smile.

Shen Yunjin kowtowed hurriedly and took the imperial edict.

"Excuse me, Eunuch An, what is the emperor doing?..."

Shen Yunjin gestured to Jinzhi, who tactfully handed over a purse.

Eunuch An quickly put the purse into his sleeve and smiled at Shen Yunjin.

"Yesterday, the Emperor ate bamboo shoots from the mansion at Concubine Ning's place and praised them for being fresh, tender and crisp."

After sending Eunuch An away, Jinzhi asked in confusion: "Since the emperor praised the bamboo shoots in our house for being delicious, why didn't he reward the master?"

"Your Majesty is warning me."

There are all kinds of delicacies in the palace, how does the emperor know that the bamboo shoots are from Prince Qi’s palace?

Most likely, it was Concubine Ning who flattered the Prince of Qi's Mansion in front of the Emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not play by the rules.

Not only was she not punished, she was rewarded.

I guess Concubine Ning would be furious when she found out.

I clearly wanted to file a complaint, but instead I made the emperor feel guilty.

"What should we do? Doesn't the emperor allow us to continue selling things?" Yuzhi was very worried.

"Don't worry. Didn't we take back the shop on West Street? We can sell all the things in the mansion there from now on."

It took quite a bit of effort to take back the shop.

When Uncle Zhong took people to close the shop, Manager Cao jumped up immediately.

Not only did he threaten to report to the police, he also cursed the people in Prince Qi's mansion for bullying others by taking advantage of their power.

He even threatened Zhong Bo, saying that he was the Second Prince's man, and if he offended him, he would be offending the Second Prince.

Only then did Zhong Bo completely give up hope, realizing that Manager Cao was indeed the Second Prince's man.

He asked someone to find a yamen runner and secretly told him that Manager Cao was a remnant of the previous dynasty, and if he could find out who his accomplices were, he would definitely make a great contribution.

Shopkeeper Cao was captured by the yamen runners, and before leaving he was still yelling for the Second Prince to save him.

However, that night, I heard that the man died in prison.

"Yuzhi, how is the wine jar I asked you to order?"

Spring is the season when flowers are in full bloom, and Shen Yunjin wants to make some peach blossom wine and apricot blossom wine.

"The shopkeeper sent a letter a few days ago saying that it is ready. I will go get it later."

"And ask someone to go to the wine shop and get a jar of wine."

"Today, I will teach you how to make peach blossom wine."

Yuzhi asked with longing, "Is it that sweet wine?"

"You are talking about fruit wine. We have to wait until autumn when the fruits are ripe before we can make it." Shen Yunjin smiled.

"This peach blossom wine is really good stuff. Legend has it that it was brewed by fairies around the Queen Mother and was used to entertain guests at the Peach Banquet."

"After drinking it, not only will you feel refreshed and energetic, but it will also help to invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, beautify your skin. As the saying goes, this wine should only be found in heaven, and it is rare to taste it on earth!"

"The flowers that the master asked us to dry are actually for making wine. I thought they were for eating."

Hongliu asked curiously.

"Speaking of food, Yuzhi, you can make some peach blossom cakes, apricot blossom cakes, etc. They will definitely sell well in the store."

Yuzhi's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, this can be tried."

Making peach blossom wine is very simple. Just wash the budding peach blossoms with water and then dry them in a cool place for a day.

Wash the wine jar with water and dry it, then put the peach blossoms into the jar, pour in sorghum wine, and you can also put in a few grams of angelica, then seal it and let it stand for a month.

It can be opened and consumed after one month. It can also be applied on the face to help lighten spots and whiten the skin.

Shen Yunjin directed several maids and soon filled the jars with wine.

"Come and try the peach blossom cake I just made." Yuzhi came in with a plate of cakes.

The pink peach blossom cake is eye-catching at first sight.

Shen Yunjin pinched a piece and put it into her mouth. The rich fragrance of peach blossoms bloomed in her mouth and conquered her taste buds.

The others ate and praised, "This peach blossom cake is both beautiful and delicious."

"My lady, I think that only one kind is too monotonous. I want to make a few more styles. Spring is the time when there are the most banquets. I'm sure many young ladies will like it."

Shen Yunjin nodded, "You can also soak the peach blossoms in lard and sugar, and make them into fillings to make peach blossom cakes."

"I remember there is a kind of thousand-layer cake that is very popular. You can also try to see if you can make it into peach blossom cake. This one will definitely look better."

The pink and tender pastries are even more irresistible.

"Yes, I remember that your Majesty made green grass balls before. If you change it to peach blossom ones, it will definitely look good."

When it comes to food, Yuzhi is very good at learning from experience.

"There are also apricot blossoms and pear blossoms. They can all be used. When combined with the wine we brew, they will surely be sought after by the ladies who host banquets."

Yuzhi became more and more confident as she spoke, and she turned around to think about it.

The others couldn't help but shake their heads. As for Yuzhi, as long as she talked about studying food, she would be absolutely obsessed with it.

Fortunately, master Shen Yunjin is kind, otherwise, he would have been kicked out long ago.

"Master, the prince has returned with a message!" Yang Liu ran in from outside.

Shen Yunjin stood up in an instant, "Really? Show me now."

Yang Liu handed a letter to Shen Yunjin, and then was taken away by Jinzhi.

As soon as the letter was opened, Xiao Minshen's cursive handwriting came into view.

It turned out that Xiao Minshen and his team had arrived safely in the south.

The letter said that the area had suffered a severe flood. After they arrived, they separated and resettled the survivors according to Linglong's instructions.

A large amount of quicklime was also purchased and disinfection was carried out.

He also said that there was indeed an epidemic breaking out somewhere, and the local doctors had already brought it under control based on Linglong's prescription.

Han Yang proposed many methods to control floods, and they tried them one by one.

The entire article was about official business, with only two words at the end.

wait for me!
