Chapter 99 Glutinous Osmanthus Cake (Part [-])

In the early morning of the next day, the position of the second assistant of Yongpinghou's cabinet was dismissed, and Luo Shangshu, Minister of the Ministry of War, took over.

The cabinet's secondary assistant has great power, second only to the cabinet's first assistant Wang Can.Although the dismissal didn't move Yongping Hou's vitality, it also moved his muscles and made him feel pain.

Han Youning quickly got the news from Wen Guanshi.

This result was expected.

Emperor Qingming relied on Marquis Yongping, so he would not break his arm easily.

As for the method that Marquis Yongping can impress the emperor, there is only silver, the silver looted from the Chen family.It's just that in this life, he must have given more.

The embankment of a thousand miles cannot be destroyed overnight, as long as it has cracks.

Han Youning went to the small kitchen to make glutinous rice osmanthus cake.She promised Huo Shan a thank you gift.

Each glutinous rice cake is wrapped with red bean paste as a filling, and there is no need for grinding tools to make exquisite shapes. It is simply made into round balls, steamed and then poured with sweet-scented osmanthus honey.

She purposely made some more, Zhao Chengyuan seems to like sweets, so let's give him some too.

It can also be regarded as... thank him for the protection of the two lifetimes.

Bao'er trotted in, "Master, the prince is here!"

"His own, or with others?"

"The prince is accompanied by a brother guard, and the old lady and the second lady are also here."

Han Youning gave her a freshly made glutinous osmanthus cake, "Let's play."

"Ok!"

Bao'er bounced and ran away with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Han Youning took off her apron, tidied up her appearance briefly, and when she left the small kitchen, she saw Zhao Chen had already passed the moon gate and was coming towards her.

Xuanyi jade belt, heroic.

He walked to a osmanthus tree and stood still, with a pleasant smile and a gentle voice, "So you moved to this small courtyard. This is a good place, with elegant seasons and sweet-scented osmanthus."

Han Youning blessed the body, "His Royal Highness is here to count the dowry?"

Zhao Chen nodded, "Yes. Guess you came out of the kitchen, did you make some snacks?"

"Glutinous osmanthus cake."

Zhao Chen raised his feet and walked towards the small kitchen, "It happens that I'm hungry alone, so I'll try your handicraft."

Han Youning frowned, "My little girl's craftsmanship is poor, if Your Highness is hungry, why don't you ask the big kitchen to bring some snacks over."

"Don't bother."

Zhao Chen went into the small kitchen, picked up an osmanthus cake from the drawer and ate it.

He squinted his phoenix eyes slightly, looking quite satisfied, "What you do is different from others, you are white, fat and soft, very cute."

Han Youning felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but think of the first time he saw her, "You look so cute like this."

She avoided his gaze and lowered her head to pack the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation."

Zhao Chen looked at the two boxes containing osmanthus cakes, embossed with plum blossoms, and asked, "Is this osmanthus cake you want to give away?"

Han Youning hummed, and put the lid on the box, "Go down and count the dowry, the old lady and the second lady are still waiting outside."

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who is it for?"

Han Youning only felt a heavy pressure on his head, and said lightly, "Old friend."

"Ah."

Zhao Chen took a plate, put a few sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from the drawer, and left with it.

Han Youning didn't follow, she wrapped the snack boxes in silk and told Ling'er, "Take it to Duan Yi, and ask him to send a copy to Prince Jin's Mansion and a copy to Weixing Escort."

The bell answered and left with the box.

The dowry was counted for half a day.

At the end, Han Youning was called over by Zhao Chen.

Chen Man's dowry was finally made up, and what was missing was converted into silver at the price.

Zhao Chen checked carefully and refused to let go of any ambiguity.He even looked through the account books of the shop farm.

Mrs. Han and Xiao Wen sent people back to the room to collect the money several times. After all this trouble, their families should have been almost wiped out.

Zhao Chen's account book was neatly sorted, and he put the land deed, house deed and bank notes into a box, "Since the dowry of Mrs. Xian Guo is not safe in your hands, let's give it to her niece for the time being."

Mrs. Han was annoyed, but she didn't dare to refute.

Xiao Wen's obediently handed over the key to the warehouse, hoping that the matter would be settled and not to pursue it any further.

What Mrs. Han was thinking about was her son in the prison. She went to see him yesterday, and Han Rui's body was torn apart by the whip, and he was already tortured to the point of losing his shape.

Han Rui said that the executioner was the prince.

He didn't even ask anything, just whipped him.

But I don't know where the prince's hatred came from!

She said in a good voice, "His Royal Highness, now that the dowry has been completed, can you let the dog out?"

Zhao Chen ate the glutinous rice osmanthus cake, and said in a low voice, "Gu is not a person who does not show affection, but the son is not the only one who made mistakes. The second lady embezzled the dowry of Mrs. Xianguo privately, and there is no crime. The old lady said, Which do you want to protect?"

Little Wen's complexion changed suddenly.

Mrs. Han hardly hesitated, "Little Wen's has committed seven crimes in stealing, and when the dog is released from prison, he will write a divorce letter and send it back to his mother's house."

"very good."

Zhao Chen got up, and said to Han Youning, "Tomorrow Dali Temple will hear the case, and you Chen is going there."

Han Youningfu stepped down and watched him leave with his hands behind his back.

Little Wen was already sobbing, and questioned Mrs. Han.

Han Youning gave them a cold look, and went back to the room with Ling'er holding the box and account book.

After leaving Duke Dingguo's mansion, Zhao Chen asked quietly, "Where did the snacks go?"

Wei Xiao said, "One box was sent to Prince Jin's Mansion, and the other box was sent to Weixing Escort Bureau."

Zhao Chen's eyes turned cold, and he got on his horse, "It's been a while since I've had a drink with my lonely Seventh Emperor Uncle."

The purple bamboo in Jinwang Mansion is still green and lush.

The bamboo shadows are deep, and the winding path ends, which is the main courtyard where he often comes to pay his respects.

It is a place where he felt extraordinarily noble and in awe since he was a child.

Zhao Chen entered the courtyard gate, walked through the hallway, and saw that the door of the reception room was wide open, and in the center of the room was an Eight Immortals table with delicious delicacies.Seventh Emperor Uncle Zhao Chengyuan sat in the upper seat, dignified and elegant, looking at him leisurely.

It was as if he had known that he was coming.

Zhao Chen first bowed to pay his respects, then raised the two jars in his hands, and said with a smile, "Luo Jiangchun, my nephew remembers that Uncle Qihuang likes to drink this wine."

Zhao Chengyuan motioned for him to sit down, "Why is the prince free to come to Jin Palace?"

Zhao Chen glanced over a few cases beside him, on which there was a box with plum blossoms embossed on it.

He said calmly, "Come and drink with Uncle Huang."

While talking, he patted the seal of a jar, helped Zhao Chengyuan fill it up, and then poured it for himself, before he sat down.

"The emperor's uncle has been back to Beijing for so long, and his nephew is busy with mundane affairs, so he has not been able to drink with the emperor's uncle. Today is the time to apologize."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled lightly, "With so many palace banquets, you don't know how much wine you have given to me. It seems that I haven't seen you in half a year, and the prince's drinking capacity has grown."

"How can the wine at the palace banquet be the same as our uncle and nephew drinking together?"

Zhao Chen raised his glasses with both hands, staring at Zhao Chengyuan with his starry eyes, "This is the first cup for my nephew, I wish the emperor a long life."
