After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Chapter 211: The Palace Banquet is Not for Eating

Xiang Hongxuan asked someone to bring Shen Jinyao and the other person in. He changed his clothes and went to the tent to meet Shen Jinyao.

Who knew that when he arrived at the tent, he saw that it was very lively inside.

There were four people sitting in the tent.

Although these four people are all wearing men's clothes, two of them are women disguised as men.

Xiang Hongxuan immediately saw Shen Jinyao sitting very straight, and next to her was Shen Tingyao who was also wearing men's clothes.

Sitting opposite him were Pan Ye, who was just about to go out, and the eldest prince, who had just gotten up.

When the eldest prince saw Xiang Hongxuan coming in, he quickly said, "Xiang Hongxuan, why are you here just now?"

Xiang Hongxuan glanced at the eldest prince and did not respond.

If it weren't for his identity, Xiang Hongxuan would have driven him away long ago.

Shen Jinyao and Shen Jinyao stood up and saluted Xiang Hongxuan, "General Xiang."

Shen Jinyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When Xiang Hongxuan didn't come just now, the four of them sitting here was really awkward.

Pan Ye crossed his arms and didn't say anything, but Shen Jinyao felt that Pan Ye always looked at her with a scrutinizing eye.

Although the eldest prince didn't say anything, he changed his movements ten times in one minute. It was obvious that he couldn't sit still.

Shen Jinyao didn't know what they were doing here.

When they were at the gate of the military camp, the soldier went to report and they were invited in shortly afterwards.

Who knew that not long after they sat down, the eldest prince walked in with a swagger.

It looked like he had just woken up.

The eldest prince hesitated several times and in the end said nothing.

Shen Jinyao could only lower her head and pretend that she knew nothing.

After a while, Pan Ye came in with a sword.

Looking at his outfit, he looks like he is about to go out on horseback.

Who knew that when Pan Ye sat there, even the eldest prince stopped talking. The four of them looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Pan Ye was originally planning to go out, but he heard the soldier guarding the gate reporting to Xiang Hongxuan.

He turned around and came to the general's tent where he was discussing matters.

As a result, they unexpectedly saw the eldest prince. When he came in, none of the three spoke.

Pan Ye originally wanted to see what Shen Jinyao was doing here this time.

Ever since he heard what Xiang Hongxuan said last time, he couldn't help but start to doubt Shen Jinyao.

When the house was searched, he felt that Shen Jinyao was a little strange.

Later, he contacted Shen Jinyao several times, but he didn't find any evidence.

As a result, when he arrived in Quzhou, Xiang Hongxuan actually had the same idea as him.

This made him doubt Shen Jinyao again.

The eldest prince and Pan Ye are different.

He was still asleep at that time because Xiang Hongxuan's tent was not far from where he slept.

The soldier outside said that the young master of the Shen family had arrived, and then he heard Shen Tingyao's voice, so he put on his clothes and ran over quickly.

After seeing Shen Tingyao last time, the eldest prince was not in a good state after returning.

Although he still ate and slept a lot, he talked less and seemed a little depressed.

When the eldest prince came in, Shen Tingyao and Shen Jinyao had just sat down.

The eldest prince and Shen Tingyao looked at each other, neither of them spoke.

Shen Jinyao and Shen Tingyao saluted the eldest prince. After the eldest prince waved his hand and asked them to sit down, the three of them stopped talking.

No one said anything until Pan Ye came in.

So when Xiang Hongxuan came in, he saw four people sitting quietly.

Xiang Hongxuan said, "Why is Miss Shen here today?"

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "Jinyao is here to deliver potatoes to the general today."

Potato?

The potatoes in Wuhe Village were actually grown?

The eldest prince: "Where are the potatoes?"

Pan Ye pointed to the two sacks in the corner and asked, "Is this what's in those two sacks?"

Shen Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes, these are the potatoes I brought."

After listening to this, Xiang Hongxuan said without any expression, "Is it for us?"

Shen Jinyao stood up, walked to the two sacks and opened them.

Then he said to Xiang Hongxuan: "That's right, General. It was sent here today for the soldiers in the barracks to taste."

The eldest prince laughed and said, "That's great! I want to try it too. What's the difference between it and what I eat in the palace?"

Pan Ye didn't take it seriously. He asked, "Did you come here today just to deliver potatoes to the barracks?"

For such a small matter, just let a little person deliver it.

Even if you think it's against the rules to have servants deliver the gift, then just let the young masters of the Shen family do it.

Why did Shen Jinyao come here in person, and even brought Shen Tingyao, who had never left the house since arriving in Wuhe Village?

Xiang Hongxuan stood up and walked to the sack, watching Shen Jinyao who was lowering her head to untie the sack.

He snorted softly and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that?"

Shen Jinyao gritted her teeth secretly. Pan Ye and Xiang Hongxuan always looked like they were interrogating a criminal.

In that case, she came to make it clear.

Shen Jinyao untied the sack and took out the largest potato.

She handed the potato to Xiang Hongxuan, who raised his eyebrows and did not take it.

Shen Jinyao also raised her eyebrows like him and said, "General, you are right. I am not only here to deliver potatoes today, I am also here to sell potatoes."

The eldest prince asked in surprise, "Selling potatoes?"

Shen Jinyao nodded, "Yes, selling potatoes."

At this time, Xiang Hongxuan took the potato from Shen Jinyao's hand. He had also eaten potatoes once.

But it doesn’t taste good.

I heard from people in Wuhe Village that Shen Jinyao boasted to them that these potatoes have many uses.

I wonder if it’s really as good as she says?

Shen Jinyao looked at everyone and said, "But I know that food is more important for the soldiers in the barracks, so I will send two bags today for everyone to try."

"If you like it, General, you can go directly to Wuhe Village to buy it."

"As much as you want."

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, Xiang Hongxuan hadn't said anything yet, but the eldest prince spoke.

"Haha, Miss Shen, do you think Xiang Hongxuan is a fool?"

The eldest prince saw Xiang Hongxuan's sharp eyes and changed his tone, saying, "We've tried these potatoes before, and they're not suitable for eating in the army."

Shen Jinyao feigned surprise and asked, "Oh? Then may I ask under what circumstances did the Crown Prince and General Xiang eat potatoes?"

The eldest prince felt a little puzzled, but answered truthfully: "It was sent as tribute by people from the Western Regions, and later it was prepared by the imperial kitchen at the palace banquet."

"What's wrong with this?"

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "Of course there is a problem. The dishes at the palace banquet are not meant to be eaten."

The eldest prince: "Ah?"

Shen Jinyao nodded, "It's for viewing."

When she said this, everyone in the tent was shocked.

Since ancient times, the dishes from the imperial kitchen have been considered the best in the world. Is there anyone who still evaluates them like this?
