The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 368: The Queen is Worried About the Prince's Selection of a Wife

His colleagues watched Emperor Wenzong of Tang savoring drinks and pastries, and each of them looked straight at him, afraid of missing the slightest expression on his face.

"Master Tang, how is it?"

"Not bad, soft, and even better with soapy water." It was a little choking, but luckily there was soapy water.

His colleagues looked at him with such enthusiasm that Emperor Wenzong of Tang felt a little embarrassed while eating.

He tried to speak out: "Why don't you try it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed forward, and even Emperor Wenzong of Tang was pushed to the corner.

"No, you..." Oh, what can he say, but the cake made by the princess is really good, soft and delicious, and the soap is also okay.

Shi Ya Xuan Restaurant received the cake and soap water sent by the Tang family, and the shopkeeper hurriedly took them out.

An old customer saw the new product and looked curious.

"Boss, are there any new products?"

"Yes, sir, would you like to buy one? There are only ten copies today, so first come first served."

"Come, I want to try it and see if Princess Yongkang's cooking skills have deteriorated, haha." Normally, making jokes about the princess is disrespectful, but the diners are not afraid of jokes about food.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I guarantee you will be satisfied."

He had just tasted it himself and it was so delicious that he wanted to eat it again. However, the ten portions were for sale and he didn't dare to try them privately. After all, the boss had also asked someone to give him a separate portion, so one shouldn't be too greedy.

Once the cakes and soap were launched, they were sold out in less than a quarter of an hour, leaving those who didn't buy them feeling a little regretful.

"Boss, will there be any tomorrow?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't know yet. The boss hasn't told me yet."

The diners returned disappointed because the news from those who bought and those who didn't had already spread among a small number of families in Beijing. In addition, Tang Wenzong's colleagues shared the story, so many people sent their servants to the Shi Ya Xuan Restaurant early the next day to wait for the sale.

Shen Jiarou slept until noon and woke up. She could already smell the delicious cake and mung bean soup.

"Auntie, did you make a cake?"

Kaier pushed the door open and smiled gently when she heard her question.

"Princess, yes, Qing Ling has done a lot for everyone."

Shen Jiarou was puzzled when she heard this: "A lot? How much?"

Kai'er shook her head: "I don't know the exact number, but most of them have been sent to Shiyaxuan Restaurant."

Princess Le'an came to the Tang Mansion and was taken to the courtyard by Li Leping.

She looked at the girl lying in the hammock, with the warm sunshine on her face.

Hearing the sound of light footsteps, Shen Jiarou slowly opened her eyes.

"Sister Qing, you are here." Princess Le'an's maiden name is Ji Muqing.

Princess Le'an waved her bauhinia fan to cover her face and smiled: "You are so comfortable, basking in the sun, smelling the fragrance of tea, and living a leisurely life."

"Envy, jealousy."

"I'm not jealous, but I'm envious of your sister Qing's belly."

Ruan Qingling came over with a cup of Dongting tea (Biluochun). When she heard what Princess Le'an said, she smiled.

Biluochun was listed as a tribute during the Tang Dynasty. Ancient people also called Biluochun "Kung Fu Tea" and "New Blood Tea".

"Your servant greets Princess Le'an."

"Qing Ling, no need to be polite. Are you making Biluochun for your princess?"

"That's right. What kind of tea would you like? I'll make it for you."

Princess Le'an pointed with her jade hand: "Let's take this."

Ruan Qingling smiled respectfully and nodded: "Okay, wait a moment."

After Ruan Qingling left, Princess Le'an sat on the bench and looked at the girl who had closed her eyes again.

"Time flies so fast. Your sister Xin has been married for many days."

The girl opened her lips slightly: "What's the matter, Sister Qing wants to get married soon?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Le'an retorted coquettishly.

"nonsense."

Shen Jiarou closed her eyes and smiled softly, then hummed a ballad.

Princess Le'an was full of interest listening to the melodious music.

"Is this a new song you created?"

"No."

Princess Le'an was puzzled when she heard it: "Isn't it? But why have I never heard of it?"

"I heard it in my dream, and I remember it because I have a good memory." Alas, these beautiful songs were not created by her. She does not have the talent to compose original songs, but there is someone in the palace who can.

Princess Le'an didn't believe it: "Just play it. I've had so many dreams, but why haven't I ever seen anyone humming a song in my dreams?"

She didn't believe it. This princess sister was just too humble and low-key.

Shen Jiarou sighed softly and spread her hands.

"See, you don't believe me even if I tell you. It's so difficult." No one believed her when she told the truth, but they listened to her lies with great interest.

Alas, humans are strange creatures.

The Minister of Rites has been very busy lately, as the Crown Prince is about to select a concubine, and tomorrow is the day for the selection. Most of the women from aristocratic families are on the list.

After checking the booklet, he leaned back in the armchair to take a rest.

The Ministry of Rites is really not easy, as there are always several major events to prepare for every year.

After the selection of the concubine, they will definitely be busy preparing for the prince's wedding.

Shen Jiarou accompanied the Queen for lunch. As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to choose a concubine, the Queen had been worried for days and had no appetite.

"Mother, please eat and drink. Your health is the most important thing. The Ministry of Rites is busy selecting a concubine for the Crown Prince. Have a bowl of red date, wolfberry, mushroom and chicken soup. It's very delicious."

The queen took it, picked up the jade spoon and scooped it up to taste it.

"It's pretty good. It's good to have you accompany mother for meals." The emperor and the prince were busy with state affairs, and her life was a bit boring.

Shen Jiarou smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved.

"You are just too worried about the prince. It is said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You should think more about yourself."

Bai Yuechu and Nanny Luo listened to Princess Yongkang's words of consolation and found them to be very reasonable.

The Queen scolded: "How can I not worry? When you choose a consort in the future, I will still be busy."

Shen Jiarou was shocked. They were talking about the Crown Prince, so why did the topic jump to her?

"I am not in a hurry. You said you would keep me for two more years. I will at least marry after I turn seventeen. I can still accompany you for seven years."

The queen smiled and pinched her daughter's round face: "That's right, mother will definitely choose the best prince consort for you in the future, preferably one who is both civil and military, so that you two will have more topics to talk about, and your married life will not be boring."

"Alas, being a parent is really tiring. I don't want to get married in the future. I'd rather stay with you forever." It was really difficult for women in this era not to get married.

The Queen scolded again: "You are talking nonsense again. You can't say this in front of your father and grandmother from now on. Understand."

"My son knows."

Looking at her well-behaved and sensible daughter, the queen smiled gently and lovingly.

"A good daughter of her mother is the most obedient."

"You are also the best mother in the world."

"You girl, you must have eaten honey water this morning."

"Oh, Queen, you are almost telling the truth."

Listening to her naughty jokes, the Queen and others laughed uncontrollably.

"I heard that the cakes you recently researched are selling very well. Why haven't you come back to the palace to make them?"
