Chapter 189: Benefits of La 8
Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was sulking when a piece of pork loin suddenly appeared in his bowl.
Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty raised his eyes and met the pretty face of the girl with eyes full of smile.
"Father, eat quickly."
He was jealous, but suddenly he was happy.
Shen Jiarou also ordered blood stew, chicken offal, pork liver and pig intestines for her father, which made Emperor Yuan Shun very happy. He even had two drinks with the crown prince and Doctor Wang.
Doctor Wang had never thought that he would be able to dine and drink with the Emperor and the Prince. He had never dared to think about it before.
The people in the kitchen brought red dates, wolfberries and white fungus soup, and Shen Jiarou drank the whole bowl comfortably.
The prince was the second person to drink it. "Sister, your Tremella soup is very good, thick."
When Emperor Shun of Yuan heard his son's words, he also took a bite.
"Yes, it's really good. Doctor Wang, you should try it too."
Doctor Wang still thought this experience was an illusion until he returned to the Imperial Hospital.
The hospital's chief physician, Li, looked puzzled when he saw him pinching himself.
"Doctor Wang, what are you doing?"
Doctor Wang, who was discovered, looked embarrassed.
"Your subordinate is scratching."
Doctor Li looked unconvinced, but he didn't dare to ask any further questions.
Time passed quickly and it was Laba Festival. Ruan Qingling picked a few plum blossoms and brought them back from the plum garden.
Zhen Luosang took a look and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, you'd better put a nice vase in it."
The kitchen was busy cooking Laba porridge, and Shen Jiarou walked in following the smell.
"It's delicious."
When everyone saw him, they immediately saluted.
"Your servant greets the princess." The servants in Fanghua Palace all have ranks, and it is the palace with the highest status in the entire imperial palace.
"No need to be polite. Is the porridge almost ready?"
"Princess, it will be ready soon."
"Where are the Laba noodles and Laba tofu?"
"It's all right now."
In this era, Laba porridge was also served with food including Laba garlic, Laba noodles, Laba tofu, etc.
After leaving court, Emperor Wenzong of Tang received hot Laba porridge, Laba noodles and Laba tofu.
"My Lord, happy Laba Festival."
"Jile."
The ministers began to look forward to the day again, stretching their necks.
Because of the active approach of Prince Su, Prince An and Prince Yu, the three families also have a share of the Laba delicacies today.
The ministers looked on with envy and jealousy.
"Prince Su, Prince An, and Prince Yu are really good at judging things. Look at how they enjoy their meals."
"Hey, the food in front of me doesn't taste good anymore."
His Royal Highness Prince Yu is the fifth prince, twenty-one years old, and loves doing business. He is able to get close to his fourth sister, and because of their business dealings, they became more familiar with each other, and finally he succeeded in occupying the position of a brother in the fourth sister's heart.
Although he is not as good as his ninth brother, the crown prince, he is a person who is content with what he has.
"really not bad."
Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was also tasting Laba porridge, Laba noodles, Laba tofu, and Laba garlic, and he was very happy eating them.
"Your Majesty, look at what the princess has prepared. They are all good."
"Okay, there's still some food in that food box, you can go and try it privately later."
When Li Jiang heard this, he was delighted and thanked him.
Over the past year, the Queen's appetite has been spoiled by her own daughter.
Nanny Luo looked at the purple Laba porridge and smelled its fragrance, feeling a little greedy.
"Mammy, you and Yuechu should each serve a bowl and try."
The two of them expressed their gratitude with joy, "Thank you, Queen, for the reward."
Shen Jiarou brought Laba porridge and other delicacies and had dinner with the Queen Mother.
"Grandmother, please try the Laba porridge, Laba noodles and Laba tofu that I have prepared."
The Queen Mother was very considerate and ate bowl after bowl of the food.
"Girl, you have so many delicacies in your head. Grandmother needs to live a few more years to taste more."
"No problem, you will live a long life. When you are 1145 years old, I will cook all kinds of food for you."
The Queen Mother was so delighted that she reached out and pinched her granddaughter's face a few times.
"Haha, okay, then we both have to take care of our health."
Aunt Zhen and Nanny Gui smiled knowingly, and were both very moved.
In the Imperial Palace, Concubine Xian, who had been eating dried vegetables for quite some time, looked unhappy.
"I am tired of the food in the imperial kitchen."
Nanny Deng and the others did not dare to speak freely. After all, their queen was just taking advantage of the situation and was clearly concerned about Princess Yongkang's fresh vegetables.
The fresh vegetables sold so well in the capital that even the fresh vegetables in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion were forced to be sold. Shen Jiarou took out 20% of the profit and gave it to the wife of the Yong'an Marquis as public expenses.
Because of that income, the living standard in the mansion was improved, and the monthly salary of the ladies each increased by two taels of silver.
The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an was checking the accounts in the front yard. When she saw the extra 20% of income, she couldn't help but recall her surprised look when the princess proposed it.
Twenty percent of the silver means one hundred taels more per month. There are more than a dozen masters in the mansion. If an extra two taels of silver is given every month, it will be more than thirty taels.
Lady Yong'an was filled with gratitude towards her daughter, and only regretted that she had no ability and had done nothing for her daughter.
Thinking of the pink cloak embroidered in the room, Lady Yong'an became anxious to finish it quickly so that she could give it to her daughter on New Year's Eve as a token of her love.
His Royal Highness the Jade Prince and his personal bodyguard Gao Zhiming returned home, and the flamboyant and bright Princess Jade came over wearing a bright red cloak.
"My lord, you are back."
"Well, why did the princess come out? It's cold outside, you should go inside."
His Royal Highness Prince Jade likes to engage in business and holds a nominal position in the court.
Because of his status as a prince, he does not have to report every day.
"Mu Yang said he missed you, so I came to see if you've returned."
His Royal Highness the Jade Prince helped his beloved wife walk to the backyard, and Gao Zhiming returned to his room.
The little prince Ji Muyang saw his father and mother coming in and ran over happily.
"Father, you are back."
His Royal Highness the Jade Prince let go of his wife's hand, bent down, picked up his son, and pinched his cute little face.
"I missed my father, now he's back." 0 leaned over and kissed his son on the face, and the young prince Li Xianglai kissed him back.
Princess Yu looked at the affectionate father and son and felt it was too much to bear.
His Royal Highness Prince Yu and the Princess have a very good relationship, and occasionally they would talk about unimportant matters in the court.
"Today, the Fourth Princess prepared Laba porridge, Laba garlic, Laba noodles, and Laba tofu for us. They all tasted very good."
Princess Yu smiled brightly: "Look how happy you are."
His Majesty the Jade Prince raised his head and said, "Of course not. Today is the first time I have eaten the festive food specially prepared by the Fourth Princess. You don't know how the faces of the ministers changed drastically with envy. It made me feel very happy to see it."
Hearing her husband's words, Princess Yu also laughed.
"Speaking of which, this Fourth Princess is a person of true character. She won't cater to anyone casually. Instead, she seems to decide things based on her own preferences."
His Royal Highness the Jade Prince agreed with his beloved wife's words: "That's right. As for us royal brothers, there are quite a few of them. Only the Crown Prince and the eldest royal brother were taken care of at the beginning. I heard that there was also the thirteenth brother who came later."
Princess Yu was stunned: "Thirteenth brother has them all?"
This fourth princess is truly an extraordinary person, and she would really like to make friends with her.
